From Stockholm, Sweden.

Born 1981.

Crazy fan of TFTD.

Haven't really played any Enemy Unknown (the original), when I was little I got introduced to TFTD directly and it's the game that is closest to heart.

I still haven't beaten the game, I think one reason is that I'm a perfectionist and I hate loosing any soldiers so if anyone dies I just reload a previous save.

The only ones allowed to die is panic and MC liabilities ;)

I have a game now that I have been playing from steam so I have over 100 hours recorded time in that game ;)

I have been silently watched this wiki for ages but This GUS audio sounds iteresting. I have the steam version of tftd and in my dosbox.conf I have gus=true

And reading the todo section about having a command line interface to set sound. If you add xcomutil you get a picker for changing sound.

Perhaps we should have some sample sound clips showing with and without GUS.

: It's been a while since I used XComutil, does it now allow access to the audio setup? -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 07:50, 18 August 2013 (EDT)
:: Yep, you get a startup menu with follwing items:
1. Run XcomUtil Setup
2. Play X-Com
3. X-Com Sound Setup
4. Command prompt (REM:ed by default in the modified terror.bat file)
U. Uninstall XcomUtil
X. Exit to Windows

I just changed x-com tftd to use Gravis Ultrasound and the difference is huge! however, it seems to disable the movie-cut scenes and instead shows the picture-slide cutscenes. I'll try upload some Youtube samples.

Some samples showing GUS in action:

Feel free to use em on the main GUS-page

: Cheers for that. I'm right in the middle of updating everything again, so will stick those in.

: On your movie cutscene issue, try making a blank file in something like Notepad and save the file as cdspeed.dat and store it in your Sound\ folder. The animated sequences use their own recordings of the music so won't be affected by using the GUS. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 05:16, 21 August 2013 (EDT)
:: Your new update looks neat! Good job! However the cdspeed.dat file-trick didn't help. It seems that having sound effects configured to use GUS disables the animated sequences as setting just sound effects back to soundblaster and keeping GUS for music gives animated sequences and GUS-music. I didn't notice any difference in having GUS for sound-effects so that setup is a working workaround. - [[User:Harre|Harre]] 09:11, 21 August 2013 (EDT)
