I was reading the first post and I've read of 99 soldiers as new quest...
Why not make that once completed it, we need to delivered to someone who will give us something as gift?
That was already being planned
1) Is the new Aali custom driver useful for Reunion? I mean, the long-waited new release has an impact in this project?
It is needed for the minigames so that they play at the correct speeds. Without it, you will have to set refresh rate of your monitor to 60 and make sure vsync is ON in the config file. If you don't, the games will not play correctly.
2) Why isn't Anxious Heart part of Reunion?
For the same reason the retranslated FMVs won't be... it is too large and bulky. I like to keep things nice and small and simple. That's also why I created my own tools to do the job. Separate installers aren't that bad when it comes down to music and video.
3) You've been working a lot on the mini game fixes - are they all part of Aali's latest custom driver now?
Aali has agreed to add the main fixes to his next driver. Until then, Weapon option in the installer adds all necessary fixes., The submarine minigame is still not completed. The changes to the difficulty and playability of the minigames is separate of course. Aali's driver will only fix frame rate issues.
4) How many hours of work do you think you've put into this project?
That is difficult to tell... especially since a lot of the time I am listening to music and browsing when I should be working
I have no idea... I can't even estimate it. But it's a SHIT TON. And then you have Kranmer and Luksy who also worked with me... they have put in considerable hours too.
Been playing it for half an hour on the Steam version with Beacause, Menu Overhaul, Model Overhaul and Memory Patches (Gypt) Installed
Unless you converted the game, that's impossible.. since this does not yet support Steam, and Menu Overhaul will never support it sadly. Best thing to do is to convert the game to the 1998 version.
BTW, is it possible to incorporate another mod for the field models so that we can still have the chibi look as in the original game but with better texturing and enhanced geos?I believe I saw one of those mods somewhere here.
It is possible, but I won't add it to this installer. It's not my thing and I don't think it fits in with the game well. You are free to add it yourself manually.
The music lives on. Led Zeppelin didn't release 1 bad album.. they lived for the music, and they took great pride in it. A lot of bands aren't bothered about releasing an album with a load of dud songs on, but Zeppelin were.
