Star Trek: Elite Force II Windows, Mac, RTX game

Star Trek: Elite Force II

Ritual Entertainment | Activision | Released 2003

Unlike the first game, Elite Force II is largely set onboard the USS Enterprise-E stationed in the Alpha Quadrant. The game's storyline is a semi-sequel to the movie Star Trek Nemesis, and the end of Star Trek: Voyager series. Many of the members from the original Hazard Team reappear. However only a few of the primary cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation did voice acting for the game, among them Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, Dwight Schultz as Reginald Barclay, and Tim Russ as Tuvok. Several actors from Star Trek series provided additional voice acting: Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Commander Shran from Star Trek: Enterprise) as one of the main villains; Robert O'Reilly (Gowron from Deep Space Nine) as Krindo; J.G. Hertzler (Martok from Deep Space Nine, plus roles in Voyager and Enterprise) as Lurok; and Vaughn Armstrong (Admiral Forrest in Enterprise) who contributed with several character voices.

Issues:

Could not get wrappers to work. I may not be knowledgeable enough.

Notes:

- Game runs with Remix files in game folder, but d3d9 log says remix shutdown. This game uses Quake 3 engine so will probably have similar issues to Quake 3.
- I tried using Portal Remix files and could not get the game to load, just shows a grey screen.
- With wrapper files in game folder, similar issues, game just shows grey screen.

AI-Enhanced and Remastered Audio Files

The number one complaint after the Installation was the quality of the Dialog.

Virtually all the Dialog was remastered with AI and manual editing. The German version was especially difficult to clean up.

Various small Gameplay and Difficulty improvments

The Number two complaint was the level of difficulty, specially on the first level. Additional items have been added to the Level, the weapons damage has been adjusted and more savegames are created by the mod. Also a level of difficulty menu has been added that will be shown upon starting a new Game.

Source Code on GitHub
