This is a cutscene and briefing for Commander Krud's ESCAPE FROM HOTH, DARK FORCES level. The sound is digitised directly from The Empire Strikes Back. The two background graphics of Hoth are taken from the final cutscene of the X-Wing TOD, B-WING. The graphics for the scene on board the Executor are taken from the intro of X-Wing. The graphics of the AT-AT walkers are taken from X-Wing TOD I, CUTSCENE I. The graphic of the Imperial probe droid is taken from DARK FORCES' PROBE.WAX. The briefing text is taken from ESCAPE.GOB's README.TXT file, but was drawn in NEOPAINT by me. Also, some complete cuts are used from DARK FORCES, to make this file as small as possible. To use this, * download ESCAPE.ZIP and unzip it to your DARK FORCES directory. (The level this cutscene/briefing is for) * copy HOTH.LFD to C:\DARK\LFD (This file can stay there permanently, as it does not replace anything) * add CUTSCENE.LST, BRIEFING.LST, WAIT.BM and WAIT.PAL to C:\DARK\ESCAPE.GOB (While in GOB-DOS, Type "COPY CUTSCENE.LST C:\DARK\ESCAPE.GOB" etc. !!!DO NOT DO THIS IN MS-DOS as it will copy over ESCAPE.GOB!!!) (If you can't add files to a gob file then just copy them to C:\DARK, but you will need to delete them again to play any other levels) * copy D:\LECDEMOS\DFDEMO\LFD\GEARUP.LFD to C:\DARK\LFD (If you haven't already done so to make the "LOST" cutscene work.) * run ESCAPE.BAT the same as you did before, but this time watch the cutscene! Special thanks to everyone involved in making this excellent level! I hope you like this cutscene. *NOTE* The briefing will only work at the begining of the level. If you choose MIS from in the level you will see the original ROBOTICS briefing. I could have fixed this by changing the name of HOTH.LFD to DFBRIEF.LFD, but you would have to delete it everytime you wanted to run a different level (besides, in B-WING the inflight briefing doesn't work correctly, so if LUCAS ARTS can get away with it then so can I!). The MISSION OBJECTIVES screen doesn't work properly either because only LUCAS ARTS know the format of ROBOTICS.ANIM This Cutscene/Briefing was Created by Carl Kenner. andrew.kenner@unisa.edu.au The level this Cutscene/Briefing is for was created by Commander Krud and has nothing whatsoever to do with me. I just noticed that it desperately needed a cutscene and briefing so I made one. More will be coming shortly. I am now making a cutscene for LUCAS ARTS' level IMPERIAL CITY because I was very disapointed to spend HOURS working out the solution to the VAULT and killing BOBA FETT and didn't even see a single cutscene for my efforts. If you want to make your own cutscenes and briefings then E-Mail me and I will E-Mail you my tools in MIME format.
