In Response To: Even More questions... (mainly for chef...) Sorry! (WJTW)

This is a lot of questions...

: 1) Why was some levels that were previously more detailed reduced to
: less-detailed?

All of the levels were remodelled in a short period of time. Higher detail environments were typically the ones that needed less changing.

: 2) There is an extra and concealed room in the Airport level... Is that
: originally part of the old level?
: 3) Besides the Science Lab, are there any other concealed parts of the
: levels. Or are there, in fact, any other concealed rooms in the Science
: Lab itself?

Lots of "concealed rooms" are used for cutscenes. Typically they are "sets" that our animator used to do the in-engine cutscenes.

: 4) So, is/are there anything/anythings the old AI system can do that the new
: AI system can't, or vice versa?

Yes, the new system could do lots more than the old.

: 5) The glass and futuristic look of the pre-released TCTF Regional
: Headquarters looks great. It definitely had the high-tech feel to it. But
: why was that design replaced with a less good-looking building? There was
: even the words "TCTF" outside the old building!

Dunno what you mean.

: 6) Adding on to the previous question, why was the bluish look of the Science
: Lab turned into yellowish? Was it because the original level takes place
: at night but the current takes place near dusk?

Again I don't follow you. Texturing and lighting on all levels were handeled by the artists.

: 7) If BGI was removed, why was Konoko saying "Musashi is owned by
: BGI..."?

BGI is in the story, but there are no BGI art assets used in the game.

: 8) What I meant was, was the Science Lab supposed to be the BGI Headquarters
: in the pre-released game before BGI was cut-out?

No.

: 9) Can triggervolumes be retriggered? I mean, if the trigger triggers the
: function Tarmac1, can it be reset(trigvolume_enable tarmac 1) and then
: retrigger Tarmac1 again?

Yes.

: 10) Who developed the scripting system?

Brent Pease and Michael Evans.
