Shattered Steel ingame video

First: Please, check my other Shattered Steel video, this one is my first ever, and as said further down the text - the editing is just horrible.

This is a few minutes of ingame footage from the (sadly almost forgotten) 1996 Bioware/Interplay Mech war game "Shattered Steel". As far as I know it was the first 3D game to have fully destroyable (is that a word?) terrain (and to this day I think it is the only Mech game to have it, as far as I know none of the MechWarrior games has such things). I wasn't able to make a video of the actual deformation of the terrain, but you'll see a few craters from the tactical nukes in the video.

The video was captured using DosBox 0.70, which my computer is a bit too weak for, so I apologize for the low fps and all the stuttering.

My computer was also a bit to slow for using Windows Movie Maker correctly, so I set it to automake this clip - and sadly - it shows in a few places, where WMM for some reason placed strange fades (and also cutting out the best part of the battle). I promise I'll try to make something better as soon as I have better hardware, but at least this should give you an impression of what the game looks and plays like. The music is from the game soundtrack (and it was actually played when I recorded, but it wasn't saved in the recordings, so I added the track later in WMM).

I'm trying to get shattered steel running. I've got the demo going at full speed, but the full game requires the cd to be present while playing. So I have the exe files set to the proper location in D.O.G. and have the game itself installed on my physical drive J:\INTRPLAY\SSTEEL. In my profile settings under drives, I have the actual cd mounted as A. When I attempt to load the game It says "no cd rom found."

maybe you should try the CD as another drive letter, I think most older software would assume A: is a floppy diskette drive, though I don't know if that would cause your problem.

What is D.O.G., I have only tried to run the game in DosBox.

How do you get the game to work?

every time i click "start mission", it tells me to insert the shattered steel cd when the cd is already inserted

[fisk0]

do you use the DOS version (in Dosbox) or the Windows version?

I haven't tested the Windows version, but I think you have to edit dosbox.conf and add the CD drive as a CD-ROM device in the [autoexec] category instead of mounting it the usual way.

My conf has these lines (you'll have to change the CD letter to the one used in your computer):

[autoexec]

# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

mount c E:\DOS

mount d D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

mount i E:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

It would be cool if some game company would make Shattered Steel 2. Bioware announced making shattered steel 2 but never did it. Great game with great audio!
