G'day sirlemonhead Well I've dropped a few references to your work on AvPx and sound fixes around a few gaming sites so sticking with the current name works for me. It's your creation so call it whatever you like ... :happy: But whatever name you give it, it would be helpful to include the version …

Find your AvP config file (usually in C:\Users\YourUsernameHere\Documents\My Games\Aliens versus Predator\AliensVsPredator.cfg Edit that and change the line UnlimitedSaves = false to UnlimitedSaves = true Ha, ha, ha ... if only I'd known about that simple fix! :exclamation: Still playing as …

Thought I'd share this, though I'm sure a few have tried this already. If you have used sirlemonhead's great AVP Gold fix (aka AVPX, available here: http://homepage.eircom.net/~duncandsl/avp/ ) as I do you may have also wondered whether it would work with Mad_Max_RW's AVP Classic Redux 2.0 [/i]. …

Hi sirlemonhead, Superb! Played for a few hours across a range of missions and skirmish games with your latest installer version (on top of a clean AVP Gold re-install) in your last post above. Works a treat, sound, lighting, HUDs all good. All seems fine to me now. I would suggest you place this …

sirlemonhead, can you please advise for my reinstall of AVP Gold ... which are the latest installer and/or exe files I should be using or provide links to them.

Errrr, yup I just went back a few versions of avpx.exe and you are right the text was always left justified ... for some reason I thought it was centred. :oops: Cannot get original avp.exe to run to see if it is originally centred ... unless I reinstall AVP Gold from scratch ... maybe on the weekend …

Hi sirlemonhead OK, quite a few things fixed in this one: 1) Marine HUD looks great, no text "halo" issues. 10/10 2) ESC accessed character key config menus all aligned and inside rectangle but strange "moving" image at top (sometimes seen as single colour or as a "moving background" above "Use …

Finally posted a review of AVP Gold at GameSpot ... perhaps a few more visitors will come here after reading review (if anyone looks at reviews of older games) and participate in identifying fixes needed that haven't been dealt with so far. :happy: http://au.gamespot.com/alien-versus-predator-gold- …

Hi sirlemonhead OK I have revisited the custom maps I indicated were causing popping/crackling on enhanced (treble & bass) audio settings for reverb effects. When run at default sound settings (as noted I run VIA HD Audio) there is no such problem . FYI, attached is location on Reactor custom …

Hi sirlemonhead Misalignment shown in images below (if this works) for Predator configuration (same for Alien and Marine) WHEN accessed via ESC menu. More to do with "misalignment" of "Use These Settings" and "Reset to Defaults" relative to the empty rectangle at top and text beneath, especially as …

You are correct ... the jaw & cloak issues were indeed fixed by you a while ago ... they just seemed to look even better this time round ... perhaps my imagination! :exclamation: Probably sub-consciously comparing to AVP2 which I have been playing recently. [Aside: I will play AVP 2010 after …

Yes ... sounds from L & R speaker coincided with action on screen (best with headphones on for me without true "surround sound"). Venting steam on screen to right ... sound of hissing steam on R headphone speaker, etc Aliens scurrying from front sounds "feel" like from front and then from rear as …

OK, played for ~2hours mainly as marine and overall no major issues to report using external speakers and also stereo headphones. I have an external 2.1 stereo speaker system (ie L & R speakers and "woofer") and I run VIA HD Audio software. I "enhanced" treble and bass via VIA and noticed some …

Hi sirlemonhead Anything in particular I should be looking or listening out for tweaks-wise? Any particular missions or characters (ie alien, marine or predator) you want me to play through as? I'm playing with headphones on and the sound seems better, but that's after coming back to the game after …

Great news looking forward to your newest APPX release version. :happy: No other "reportable" issues spotted by myself. Hopefully some other AVP fans visiting at vogons can provide some feedback on the current AVPX in case I/we have missed anything. Currently playing AVP2 pending your update ... …

My card is an Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 1GB version (running without overclocking). Probably considered "old" nowadays but still works fine with most "newer" games on the XP SP3 32-bit rig I own. At present I am using an older driver 190.62 which suits some of the older pre-2005 games better than more …

Hi sirlemonhead Did not notice anything unusual in recent plays except for the white lines around/above the text on the lower right hand side of the marine HUD mentioned earlier. I see them on the 1280 x 1024 resolution I use BUT it is not a problem at lowest resolution 640 x 480. Checked …

Damn spammers! I've reported our "friend" above to the moderators.

FEEDBACK (Part 2) To validate comments above, reverted to the 16 January 2013 executable (avpx.exe) and things look "better" HUD and menu-wise in terms of font size in that version for me anyway ... no doubt it's a function of your default/preferred resolution. The font size generated by the …

URGENT FEEDBACK! I used new installer over last installation (let me know if I need a clean install but I'm assuming only avpx.exe changed?). OK this last fix seems to have raised a number of issues: 1) The in-game (mission or skirmish) use of ESC to access menus results in a "black" screen with no …
