TheForceEngine-v0_80_000-6-g5b663b3
The cutscenes as shown in your YouTube video "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbF8zvgSghs" don't work in the German version of Dark Forces.
The MODs start with the original German cutscenes instead followed by the MOD's briefing text.
Any ideas?

Which mod are you trying to load? I just tried it again with Dark Tide 1 and it still works.

I tried the same MOD, but only the english version of Dark Forces shows the cutscenes!

Problem solved!
I added the "gearup.lfd" and "cutscene.lst" from the shareware version in order to "complete" the game.
But those files seem not to work with your software.

TFE does not support the shareware version of Dark Forces, it is on the "to do" list for later.

I will have to test the German version for myself to see what is going on. I haven't done that yet. Once version 0.9 is done, I will be spending a couple of weeks just dealing with bugs and inaccuracies. At that point, I will install the German version and test it as well - and deal with this issue.
Thanks for reporting the issue.

@lucius: I'm not talking about a german shareware version of Dark Forces. There was a Dark Forces Demo Version in 1994 including a so called "gear-up cutscene". A video can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QBTR3DDU6UAll I did was adding that cutscene (GEARUP.LFD and GEARUP.LST) to the full version of the german Dark Forces. After that I tried to start the "Dark Tide 1" MOD. But the MOD starts with the original game cutscenes instead. Then I removed the two "GEARUP"-files and the MOD starts perfectly with its own cutscenes. There is also an installation link: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=341230487I like to use those "GEARUP"-files with TheForceEngine if possible. |

If you run the mod in DosBox, with your current setup, do you see the correct cutscenes? Does the "gear up" cutscene work in the main game using TFE or not at all?

Running the MOD in DosBox makes no difference.
The "gearup-cutscene" runs fine, but all cutscenes from the DT1SE.GOB doesn't show up.
Same happens in TFE.

Maybe the GEARUP.LST-file needs to get edited in some way!

That makes sense then and isn't a TFE bug. What is happening is that the cutscene.lst file you added to add the new cutscene is taking precedence over the mod cutscene.lst file. If this matches vanilla behavior, then it is not a bug. Later I will add the ability to autoload small mods like this, but that is a feature request for post version 1.0.

Also Rename or Edit the List File !
When it still not works , extract the cutscenes list from dt1se.gob File in the Dark Forces Root Dir , where ex. Dark.gob is located. !
