Short 8. Corridor 7 (1994), DosBox-X 1.10.24, openglpp / pixel_perfect-scanlines.glsl, 1920x1080.
0Notes.
Another test with pixel perfect setup. Now with Corridor 7: Alien Invasion, which, in opposite to Eradicator, have some related projects in WIP stage, at the moment when I'm writing this message, but none of them finished yet. Anyhow. To get similar setup you need:
1. Download latest DosBox-X here: https://dosbox-x.com/
2. Put most of the files in E:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Corridor 7\dosbox, change original dosbox.exe to new one, i.e. rename it, dosbox.conf goes to E:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Corridor 7 and replace the original.
3. Open new dosbox.conf and check such lines:
fullscreen = false
fullresolution = 1920x1080 (your resolution)
windowresolution = 1920x1080 (same)
maximize = true
output = openglpp (must be set by default)
glshader = pixel_perfect-scanlines.glsl
cycles = 16000 (if auto is set then game will work very slowly, 160000 - used by default by developers, you might try to set larger number instead if you want to)
4. Under [autoexec] put such lines:
mount c c
imgmount d cd\Corridor7.cue -t cdrom
SET PATH=Z:\;C:\tools
c:
mixer cdaudio 50
@cls
@call menu.bat
exit
They are required for the correct operation of the settings menu, where in particular you can set the keys for control and which soundtrack to use, from the floppy or CD version of the game.
5. There is "Corridor7.bat" near by. Open it and left only one line there:
call DosBox\Dosbox.exe -conf dosbox.conf
Some ready to use files can be found here, if you don't like manual setup: https://www.old-games.ru/forum/attachments/dosbox_corridor_7-zip.324837/
6. Based on https://steamcommunity.com/app/1341890/discussions/0/4288062617433919063/ guy under nickname "myhouse_1991" made an additional patch, the following changes were made:
The map is displayed in full, not partially, secrets are also drawn.
Traps with invisible lasers have been removed.
Two extensions to the number of maximum ammo have been added to the secrets on the first level. From now on, there will be 999 instead of 200.
The balance of the difficulty itself remains as it was originally intended - a lot of hard-to-kill enemies.
You might grab it here: https://www.old-games.ru/forum/attachments/major_playable_difficulty-zip.324836/ and then drop files into E:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Corridor 7\C\CORR7CD by replacing original onces.
7. Done. Now you can play the game.
