Oh man, I really shouldn't have had offspring and not looked at the forums in like 3 years.

Well looks like you guys figured out SOLID files fine on your own

i'm not sure if anyone else has this problem but the installer uses 100% of the windows cache no i am not talking about ram ram usage stays the same paging file usage only goes up a little too it is not using any cpu either just the cache please fix this as when i try to run the installer any progr...

Ok, took a look with procmon and did some more research - here's what I can tell you. I was wrong - it looks like file extraction happens to C:\Windows\Installer, not %TEMP%. So that would explain your C: drive access. The Windows Installer does access the temp directory. Not entirely sure why, but ...

Mine says "the installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." 1.) Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit? 2.) Could you look at the properties for the msi and see what the size is? It might have been truncated during...

New Windows installer isn't working on Windows XP. http://files.blackholestudios.nl/dump/InstallError.PNG Uh... why is there 1109MB needed on my C-drive when I try to install to "D:\Games\Overgrowth"? I would guess your Environment Variables are set to reflect a %TEMP%/%TMP% directory tha...

You need to take out this directory: C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/VirtualSto...

Working on a configurable install directory now.

There will never be a MP version of the original Black Shades. The code is entirely designed around a single-player game and resists change.

Not that I wouldn't love to play a MP game of Black Shades. I'm sure if we ever got around to BS2, there would be some kind of MP component.

In this version: 1.) Mouse invert option in config.txt 2.) Readme.html included 3.) Minor "out of body" sound glitch fixed http://www.simisen.com/blackshades/Setup%20Black%20Shades.exe Source code is here: http://www.simisen.com/blackshades/blackshades.zip Good luck saving your VIPs people...

Doh, I need to check this forum more often. Anyhow, I didn't ever see a readme in the original icculus distribution, I'll have to check. If I do make a new version, maybe I'll add the ability to invert the mouse someone's wanted. If anyone needs to contact me regarding black shades, PMing me on this...

That's weird, I really didn't touch the control code in either port... Has anyone seen that in the OS X version?

Hi everyone, It's been a while, but I think I've ironed out all the audio issues in my first Black Shades for Windows release. If all works as hoped, this should be the best sounding Black Shades release for any OS so far! Grab the game here . Grab the source code here Save a VIP today! Henry www.si...
