Exoddus for PC - couple issues
Hi all. This is MY FIRST ODDWORLD FORUM POST IN THE DECADE I'VE BEEN PLAYING IT!! I should be ecstatic, but I'm ashamed. :p
*ahem... Sorry. Onto the post... - Couple issues: (regarding the PC version of Abe's Exoddus) 1: Why can't I hear any echo? Is this a known issue? Everything sounds dry and flat. (my sound card is an X-Fi Xtreme Gamer) 2: I can't chant using my (junky) controller. All the buttons are mapped perfectly, and working fine (works in Abe's Oddysee too), but chanting just won't register. Btw, I just ordered a new controller (rated 5-stars on Newegg), so I'm HOPING that will fix it... My current controller has D-pad issues that make me stand up and walk into meat-saws, and jump when I mean to walk forward. The other night, I was trying to record some ingame video from the Slig Barracks (the "hard" barracks) but I was just dying way too many times, due to controller hiccups that made me do stupid things... like roll out of shadows when I meant to stand up. Not funny when Mr. Slig is watching with his machinegun. 3: There was something else, but now I forgot what it was... See what my controller made me do? Oh, fudge... ;) |
Well the sound issue must be something about the soundcard or just a glitch. I don´t really know.
The controll issue must be as you said the conntrollers fault. Buy a new one. |
1) No-one can hear the echo! It was removed from the PC version. I think because it sounded too strange. It was heared EVRYWHERE, even when there is naturally NO echo.
2) Yes, surely the controller is faulty. |
Yep, the Echo was one of the things that was lost in the conversion process. =P
But I can't help you with the controller issue. I know the PC versions of AE and AO were designed to work with most controllers that were out during the time the games were released, but I dunno how controller-compatible they are in general. Kind of pointless me posting this, isn't it now? =P |
I just got my controller (how's that for fast shipping?) but the chanting is still partially broken. I realized, however, that I can still chant just by holding L1+L2 at the same time, rather than two R and L buttons.
This controller pwns - movement is perfect, and the comfort level is good. (not spectacular, but good) Thanks for the feedback, all. Too bad about the echo... but since I have my save-game in the PlayStation version (using an emulator), and since the sound is better there (the PC version also has totally weird/loud sounds for when you save Mudokans, and find secrets) I'll just finish playing the PS version. |
Oh, okay, I remembered what #3 was.
3: In the PS version, I can't get the level-select cheat to work. I tried both combinations that I found online... They were: at the main-screen, hold R1 and press up, down, left, right, triangle, square, circle, triangle, square, circle, up, down, left, right -- and the second one was: down, up, left, right... (same thing, just down/up instead of up/down...) These are wrong, correct? I checked at about six or seven cheat sites, but they were all the same. |
If you mean AE on the PlayStation, then the second of those cheats should work. All these cheats work for me. The normal button combination for chanting is just L1 + L2. I used to have a friend who was convinced you had to hold all four shoulder buttons. Eh.
And welcome to the Oddworld Forums, fellow long time Oddworld fan. :p Just in future please use the ‘edit’ button rather than double posting. |
What "conversion process"? Why the echo was lost?
Edit: Oh, and, umm... oh, I forgot! |
