More unused stuff? *BIG SPOILER*

Post by makie »

I wanted to listen to all the unused dialogue in SHH myself and borrowed the PC-Version from a friend.

Found the sound files and some other files which I couldn't open. There are file endings which I've never heard of and so I googled a bit. (I just can't open those .pak files. Does anyone know how to do that?)

What really got my attention was the following file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/189250949/strings.str.html

There is a lot stuff in there that's not in the game.
For example: A diary entry of Nora Holloway, a letter of Scarlet to her "friend", birth certificates (Elle and Rebecca Shepherd), the dialogues between Walter/Ethan/Jack and Dr. Fitch, items that aren't used are mentioned. And there's a lot more I just can't remember it all right now (it really is a LOT of text).

Why would that all be left in a file that can be viewed in Editor? It's like someone want's you to read that.

That's pretty cool, thanks for finding it.

Wow.... that's really, really awesome. Thanks for the find, I'm browsing through the file right now.... I'm going to have to put aside plenty of time to read through this :D

By the way, If I had the PC version, I'd be the person who takes that file and edits the text so it says something funnier, and probably screw up my game in the process. (I've done it to one other ancient computer game, but the install was messed up so I never got to test it...)

Oh, by the way, can someone transcribe the text from that file, for those of us who can't run it?

I'm not sure how it is if you're running Mac or Linux, but if you're running Windows you just open it up with WordPad :)

Yes, you can open the file with WordPad. WordPad was what I meant when I wrote Editor ^^

@ MMY
I know that this topic exists. But it covers the unused soundfiles. That's not what I'm talking about here.

No, it's like they didn't really used that stuff because they didn't want to, most of it wasn't storywise in their opinion

Additionally, you can open up lots and lots of files with a text editor. I can open up all my computer system files in Notepad, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft doesn't intend for me to read them.

When programming, believe you me, if you write code you don't end up using, it's much easier to just pretend it doesn't exist than go through and delete all of it. It's awesome for people like us to look at later, though :D

Before I could get a chance to open up in notepad, the file expired.

Thank you Dark-Dx :)

Uploaded it again. Rapishare only allows the file to be downloaded 10 times. :/ If anyone knows a better host please tell me ^^

The file won't expire on rapidshare if you make a collector's account. It's also free to make one.

I already created a thread for the unused dialogue.
