  1. I think I prefer the color graded version better. What do the rest of you think? My only suggestion is to tint the text portions blue - where it says "AN AGE OF WAR", "BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT", and "CHOOSE YOUR PATH."
  2. Severus? Follow the instructions that Kexikus gave you. Everyone else? Wait until Severus complies.
  3. If anyone winds up actually using this, would you kindly post a YouTube video of the filtered lines in action? Thanks!
  4. Currently in "Unapproved" status until you are ready.
  5. So you want to do a large batch of sound files using the same filter? What we'll need to do first is to make a preset. Presets store settings, parameters, and shapes for quick retrieval the next time the effect or command is used. Most effects have a Default preset, which can be changed so that the same settings are used every time the effect window is shown. See Options | Window for a setting to automatically update the Default whenever an effect is used. Making a Preset To add a new preset: Open a pre-existing sound file that you don't care if gets altered. Alternatively, either create a new one or make a copy of one you can't bear to lose. You have to have a file that can be altered in order to put in a new preset. Enter in all the new parameters and/or draw the new shape. Use this guide as an example. Type in a new name - where it currently says "Default" - for the preset in the drop down list. (Let's choose "Stormtrooper Filter" as the title.) This name should be the same as one currently in the list unless you intend to replace it. Choose the Add file button. So now you have a new Bandstop/Pass filter. So what's next? Here's where I explain how to run a batch of files through the filter. Batch Processing is a powerful tool for processing and converting a set of files automatically. Use Batch Processing to: Compress all your .wav files to .mp3 to save disk space Convert iTunes .m4a to .mp3 for playback on any portable audio player, USB flash drive for you car or TV, etc. Adjust volume levels of all your songs so some songs aren't louder than others Update file information, metadata, tags Remove pops/clicks, equalize, and maximize volume levels to restore all your old vinyl albums or tape recordings Insert or append an audio leader or trailer in a set of files Create a comprehensive list of effects and edits that you use frequently so you can apply them to files currently opened in GoldWave in a few clicks Each tab contains settings to configure edits and effects, conversions, destination folder, and file information. These are explained below. When everything is configured, you can use the preset controls to save all the settings, then choose the Begin button to start processing all the files. A status window will appear showing the progress and listing any errors that occur. Files are processed one at a time in the order they are listed. Each file is processed as follows: Click on File on toolbar, then choose Batch Processing. Like this: Choose your files on the Source tab. Effects and editing commands are executed in the order they appear on the Process tab. This is the area where we add the Stormtrooper Filter. On the Process tab, click the button. Click Goldwave button and scroll down to . . . Then click this and then click Add. Then click Close. The file is converted, compressed, or encoded into the file type and attributes specified on the Convert tab and saved in the destination folder specified on the Destination tab. The original file is overwritten or deleted only if that option is selected on the Destination tab. Optional: File information can be changed based on the settings on the Information tab. The Information tab enables you to add information to a MP3 such as the track title, Artist, Album, Genre, etc. Now you're ready to run the batch. Click Begin.
  6. You could skip the copy and paste portions of the tutorial and see how that sounds as well. Making the attempt and checking the results in-game will provide you with results you can witness for yourself without bias. I'll probably be amending this tutorial to show how you can run a batch of sound files through just the filtering part.
  7. The original concept I proposed was to pretty much duplicate the footage used in the original trailer but make it in high definition. However, no one is restricted from going in a completely different direction and showing how one might market the game using the marketing methods of today. In that scenario, one should not use the original audio files from those original trailers - and state they they're going to do a modern trailer for these games. With all that being said, I'd love to see the remakes done first.
  8. Adding to the Golden Guy list:

    If you have any Golden Guys that you can record and want added, PM me.
  9. There's probably a limit of how many times you could do this with the trial version. Care to test how far you go with the trial version for us?
  10. This original version of this tutorial I found ages ago on the Massassi Temple site. It was written by Tobbi Dala and the original version of the tutorial can be found through this link. What I've done here is to do some minor spelling corrections, add new pictures that show the tutorial using the most current version of Goldwave (the main program used in this tutorial) as of 20APR2017, and to provide new permanent links to 2 audio files needed for the tutorial. After the large tutorial quote, I'll be showing examples in this tutorial in action. I asked Zhaboka to record some lines that would be used to illustrate the tutorial in action and he was kind enough to assist. (Zhaboka's line replaces the line that the original tutorial grabbed from Mysteries of the Sith.) Now here's what the sound files sound like - so you can hear it for yourself! The lines will first appear without the filter and then with the filter. Special Thanks to: Tobbi Dala (of Massassi Temple), the original creator of the tutorial. Zhaboka: For recording new lines. HK-47: To extracting the line as it appeared on the original tutorial. Though it wasn't used here - as I used Zhaboka's new lines instead - the effort was and is most appreciated.
  11. Whait I've spending my free time on lately:

      Didn't miss it as I don't own it. That's a requirement in my video description.

      But it was interesting to see, SS!

      So . . . should I keep adding to the list?

  12. Darth Varkor has a first draft of the KOTOR1 trailer? Let him know you want to see it!
  13. Because slavers are too lazy to walk all the way back to the main Czerka outpost near the landing pad?
  14. I sent him voice lines for that "Narrator / Ebon Hawk" voice as well. No response.
  15. So perhaps adding Juhani's hairstyle to a different head?
  16. I'm looking to get a PC gaming subscription. Are there any recommendations for someone in the US?

      As long as the magazine is in English and a reasonable rate for Alaska, magazines from other countries are OK.

  17. I will look at as soon I get off watch. It will be helpful to know in the future. (For now, Xuul has been gracious enough to get the footage I'll need for the immediate issue.) Thanks, Malkior!
  18. Tell me more about this DGVoodoo please. A link may be helpful as well?
  19. They aren't BIK files or anything you could view outside the game.
  20. Back again with a new dilemma. I've had success with all of the games I've tried to record the opening logo videos for - except the one in Star Wars: Dark Forces. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Working tonight and tomorrow night so I won't have the time to actually do any work on yet but that also give me plenty of time for folks to come up with suggestions. Thanks again for reading.
  21. Looks pretty nice but seeing the texture in an area with better lighting - like outdoors - might be preferable.
  22. Good to know. Todd Hellid, if you're going test this out - use the wording as listed here for the TXI.
  23. If I were to pick up Rebel Assault 1 and 2 for myself and it was the same price at Steam and GOG, which distributor should I choose and why?

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Sold on your point but please finish!

    2. Kexikus

      Kexikus

      Ooops...

      And for non-US residents GOG also has a fair price system where they return the difference between the publisher set local price and the original dollar price as store currency.

      Working on my Golden Guy (from LucasArts logo) video. Couldn't manage to record the Dark Forces 1 Golden Guy unfortunately.
