You'll need a codec to view this file.  I recommend getting FFDSHOW, it's supports lot of different codec, like xvid, divx 3.11, 4 and 5, etc.

you can get the file here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow...23.exe?download

Thanks, I'll give that a go...

EDIT: Got it to work. Thanks for your help everyone!

Do you have Bittorrent? If not, get it here: http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/

I do now, thanks

But I'm only getting 1 or 2 KB/sec. Are there any other mirrors that might be faster?

EDIT: Things picked up and I got the file. However, when I try and play it in MediaPlayer, I get a error for downloading the codec and only get the sound. What is the codec I need? Cheers for any help

I seem to be having problems getting the file from http://www.gotwoot.net/torrents.php and the mirror a couple of pages back. It just downloads a 27k file. Is anyone else having problems with this? Is there anywhere else I can get it?

Thanks for any help

Macross Plus for me. I had been a Robotech fan as a kid (oh no!), and Plus got me interested in the original Macross universe. I'd say that it is probably still my favorite, although DYRL is right up there.

Never, ever trust *anything* you hear in a comic shop

Hmmm. I thought geeks were trustworthy. I guess they still are, but just not knowledgable

Just turned 29...

Glad to see you're still working on this game, far too many fan-made games start off good and development ends abruptly when peopel get bored with it. It's nice to see you're sticking with it.

It has been slow going of late, but I refuse to let it die. I still enjoy working on it, and I want to get it finished

hey thanks for the help prime im going to redownload the demo tonight and try it out... i have a question about the game is there going to be a storyline? if so how would it revolve itself in the macross universe well another question came to mind... what vlkyries will be in the shooter? thanks again

There won't be too much of a storyline, but I will try to have something in there. It is definitely all Macross universe though.

As for the Valkyries, iniitally it will have the VF-1, VF-11, and VF-19. The good thing is that others are easily added without much problem, so I hope to put in a bunch more as well, especially the VF-22, and VF-17.

yes it was a good shooter from hero int. but i do think it shouldve had transformation like prime's game that is in production and speaking of which prime, how do u get keyboard controls set for the demo of screaming valkyries?

I have created a new Screaming Valkyries thread and posted the steps to set up the controls for the demo. I don't want to hijack this thread, so you can check it out here.

And questions you have can be posted there

how do u get keyboard controls set for the demo of screaming valkyries?

1. Open up the controls.cfg file. Here you will see each command and a number underneath. The number represents the input key (either keyboard key or joystick button). Here is the setup that comes with the demo:

// using joystick for movement (1 = joystick 0 = keyboard)

1

// change facing

2002

// acceleration

2006

// shoot straight

2000

// shoot up

2003

// shoot down

2001

// mode up

2005

// mode down

2007

// move up (if using keyboard)

200

// move down (if using keyboard)

208

// move left (if using keyboard)

203

// move right (if using keyboard)

205

2. You can use either a joystick/gamepad or the keyboard to play. In the first line of controls.cfg you can see:

// using joystick for movement (1 = joystick 0 = keyboard)

1

Right now it is set to 1, which means joystick. If you want to use the keyboard instead, change the 1 to a 0.

3. To change a command, first determine what command you want to change. For this example, let's suppose we want to change our mode up (fighter->gerwalk->battroid) button. Open up the "key_codes.txt" file. In there is all the possible keys we could use. Suppose we want to use the letter "J" for this command. Looking in key_codes.txt, we can see that "J" is represented by 36. To set the mode up command to J, simply put 36 under the line "// mode up". So we would have:

// mode up

36

4. Save the controls.cfg file.

You can repeat this for all the commands you want to change. I realize that this is a pain, and in the final game it will be much more painless. As a side note, these key codes are actually the codes that DirectX uses.

If you have any problems, let me know and we can figure things out. Hope that helps

This is the new thread to replace the one on the old boards for the Macross game I have been (slowly) working on. It is a 2D sidescroller that allows you to fly various Valkyries against the forces of the Zentradi.

You can find more information at the site for Screaming Valkyries

There is an early demo available along with some screenshots. Please post any questions or comments in this thread. I'd be happy to hear what you think so far.

Once the old boards are back up, I'll post a link to the old thread as well.

Cheers,

Prime

Ummm, DYRL had no powerup system.

I think we are talking about different things. I am talking about the Macross arcade game, which I believe required powerups to transform.

Or maybe I have been hitting the booze too hard...

There is no ending movie i think...only a still where you see Aegis visiting Gilliam's Tombstone(with a flight helmet).

Brought a tear to my eye...

Boy, I haven't played that game in a long time.

At one point there was a tool to mod those games, so it may be possible...

Unfortunately this is a problem with the game itself...

I always liked the first confrontation between Millia and Max...love that flying!

Whew! I'll sleep better knowing this mystery has been solved...

I don't remember seeing it, but I could be wrong.

I remember hero interactive had been working on a sidescroller like that but in the demo they released you couldn't change to gerwalk or battroid modes.

I never understood why they didn't add the ability to transform. I didn't find it any real trouble in my game...

I'd love to see a side scroller where you can control when and what mode to transform into. I never liked the powerup system in DYRL and Mac Plus arcade games. In the game I'm working on you can control the transformations with buttons.

But other than that I really enjoyed the 2D scrollers. It might be neat to have one where you had more Valkyrie selections, and maybe even levels that resembled episodes.

I've played it with the ePSXe emulator and it looks great considering how old the game is...

anybody know where i can download the .rom or .iso file (i'm an emulator noobie) for VFX-2? (i keep getting those "Vote here for the top.." sites and i cant find what i'm looking for)

L06

Try one of the IMacross servers (if any are still up). That's where I got mine...

Does anyone know where I can get the full in-game story of VF-X2? I'm not very Japanese literate I'm afraid. I just want to know why x was fighting y and things like that etc.

Look VF-X2 up on gamefaq.com. There is a walkthrough there that discribes the story...

do you know when will it be release here in the States?

It may be a question of "if" rather than "when"...

The worst part about this problem is that once you beat the game you can play through again using any Valkyrie in every mission. To top it off, on some missions you can use an armoured VF-1 or VF-11. And they are su-weet!
