Essential improvements
Gigaquad's Enhanced log texts mod
- Gigaquad's Enhanced log texts mod matches the audio and text dialogue.
VirtualMIDIsynth
- Improves music playback. Windows 10 users may want to see MIDI mapper workarounds First.
High-res objects
- Improves texture quality whilst not suffering from the slow downs the DOS version had.
- Download only "hi-res3DSS.rar", ignoring "v2" - version 2 only adds adding parameters, useless if you don't want to mod the game.

Input settings
Enable reloading and switching ammo with a single keyboard key
Few people know that System Shock has (and always had) a shortcut for both reloading and switching alternate ammo types (Alt+← Backspace and Ctrl+← Backspace). Unfortunately these keyboard shortcuts are less than convenient for modern standards. Luckily they can be changed in Enhanced Edition.
Edit controls.cfg[citation needed] |
---|
Add the following lines, preferably under the "custom profile" section: bind r cmd.ammotype default 0 bind shift+r cmd.ammotype default 0 bind tab cmd.ammotype default 1 bind shift+tab cmd.ammotype default 1
|
Adding mouse-wheel support
Use AutoHotkey[citation needed] |
---|
Copy the following into a text editor and name it MOUSEWHEEL.AHK: #ifWinActive, ahk_class SDL_app #SingleInstance Ignore *WheelUp:: SendEvent +{q Down} Sleep 200 SendEvent +{q Up} Return *WheelDown:: SendEvent {q Down} Sleep 200 SendEvent {q Up} Return ; Middle mouse button: Grenade, the "e" key below counters ModePicking allowing you to retain aim after prepping the grenade *mbutton:: SendEvent, !{'} SendEvent, !{'} SendEvent, {e} Return ; 4th mouse button = Inventory left XButton1::Send, !{[} ; 5th mouse button = Inventory right XButton2::Send, !{]} WheelLeft::Send, !{[} WheelRight::Send, !{]} Assuming you already have the AutoHotkey suite installed, compile the script into an application. Now open a text editor again and copy the following into it, save it as a .bat file: @ECHO OFF TITLE System Shock: Enhanced Edition IF EXIST MOUSEWHEEL.exe START MOUSEWHEEL.exe sshock.exe IF EXIST MOUSEWHEEL.exe TASKKILL /IM MOUSEWHEEL.exe EXIT Place both the batch file and the compiled app into your System Shock: Enhanced Edition installation folder and use the batch script to launch the game.
