Steam system shock 2 mod guide3/19/2024 ![]() LGS worked with the low poly models, bringing out the character of their 'monsters' using just the right textures and animations. Problems arise when modders start to add their own models and textures which often look ridiculously out of place(Rebirth Cyborg Midwife) and lose the unsettling look and fear factor with it. The thing is that the original devs created their world, textures, and models within the limitations of tech and often when models get a higher polycount or the resolution gets upped, then the textures need to be altered too, so they still look fine. Of course when increasing resolution doesn't negatively affect the experience I'm all for it, but for Dark Engine games, I don't really see a benefit going higher than 1024x768 if you're going 4:3(yeah I run on a 17 inch CRT, the ONLY WAY TO FLY).

And, unlike ADaoB, it tries to stay as close to the original gameplay as possible, only fixing what was broken, and not changing the game mechanics. It picks up right where ADaoB has left, fixing even more anomalies, disrepanciens and oughtright bugs, and also making use of some of the new features that have been added by the NewDark engine update. Shock Community Patch (SCP) is a general bugfix mod/patch for System Shock2. ![]()
