I really need a stock .IMG file of the LE/Prem Code if someone is willing to post it for me and send a link. Then, I can run my macro on the LE/Premium .IMG.
If one of you guys can "Backup" your original LE code and post a link for me I can do it. Keep in mind you'll need about 8 gigs to host the file.

I can't just download from Sterns website because those updates are only changes to code, I need the full stock image.

Thanks to themacguru for providing the stock LE .img file. I have sent my modified version (Pro and LE) out to a few Pinsiders to evaluate.
If you want to give it a shot, just shoot me a PM and I'll send you the link. You should be comfortable restoring the .img file to an SD card. It's pretty basic and that way you can pop your original one back in if you don't like the changes I've made.

As of now I have replaced most sound alike call outs with the actual lines from the movie. (Still have some more Drax to do)

Escape Kyln music is a custom mix of Hooked on a Feeling for 45 seconds or so and then turns into The Pina Colada song, since these were both played in that scene.

Mode selection music is ELO's Mr. Blue Sky

Replaced Cherry Bomb music to Brandy

Edited Hooked on a Feeling (Cut out Oooga Chaka, I know it was in the movie but it drives me nuts).

Rockets game specific callouts remain "Skill Shot" etc..... I have a feeling there will be more instruction call outs in the next Stern update.

Sure, I've done quite a few custom codes for some other Pinsiders games. Just saw new GOTG .87 code was released so I am going to download that now and update it to my original SD card, then modify that new .IMG with my sound macro and see how it goes. Looks like a lot of great updates!

Oh yeah, I’m hard at work with updates and improvements.... it might be a week or two though but rest assured I’m dedicated to it. I love my Pro and GOTG is my favorite of all the Marvel universe.

I did use that song as the Quills Quest song replacement.

I had a very helpful pinsider from France try and help me shift the sounds around a couple of times and things didn't work out.
I am going back line by line now and re-doing over 400 call outs. Painstaking, but I am also making some improvements along the way.
Gonna be a couple of days for me to complete this.

That may be true, but I don't think the sound call outs will change from here on out and I can just re-run the macro.

This happened in The Walking Dead towards the end and made it easy. Anyway, back to work on this of the the next 6 hours for my Sunday.

I'm getting a little creative now and trying to incorporate some more of the great songs from both movies. Just played around with using Cat Steven's Father and Son for when you are in standby to select the Yaka Arroq mission. That was the song they played when they launched Yondu into space right? Anyway, been at it for about six hours today and will probably dedicate another 4 hours...or until my IPA selection runs out tonight
Good things are in store for this game though!

Just a little update that things are progressing well and I have been doing some play testing. I have about another 150 lines to address and I am sprinkling in some quotes from the Vol2 movie that fit in well, even though I know the game is based on Vol1. It adds a little variety though while keeping the theme modes specific. Whew, this has been a ton of work but I feel this game will really be improved.

I am just about ready to post my first version for all to play tomorrow (Sunday Feb 25th). I've had about 10 games tonight and I am stoked with the results, but I'm also tired as hell (and had way too many IPA's) to fully play through all the modes. But, man am I excited how it's coming out, I hope you all will be too.
Be ready to have a 16 Gig SD card handy and be able to restore the .IMG file I post to a new card. Keep your stock one safe for regular Stern USB updates.

This post was supposed to be in my Stranger Things thread. I get a little overwhelmed at times

I think any SD card will work but I'm using a Sandisk 16 gig and it works fine. I'm about to PM a few of you guys with my latest .IMG file to restore to your SD card. Feel free to PM me if you want to "Beta Test" too. I still have a lot of things to implement but I'd say about 80% of the call outs are there with the current .87 code. I need some time to play and evaluate and invite you to also! Feedback is welcomed...as long as it's friendly

I am uploading both Pro and LE versions right now. I'll reach out to all those that PM'd me for both Pro and LE. It's gonna take an hour to upload though, I have zipped the .IMG files to make it about 4 gigs. You will need to unzip the archive and write the .IMG file back to an SD card 8 gigs or larger....I recommend a 16 gig Sandisk as that's been what I've been using.

To all that reached out to me that zipping the .img files did not work. I have sent new links that are direct .img files and can be restored to an SD card.
Please report back with any issues. If I missed anyone please PM me again and I will send you new links.

One thing I have noticed in the new .87 code is there are music loops played for each of the modes while in standby(timer does not run).
They are mostly like 10 - 17 second loops but I would like to implement the classic songs from the movie for these small loops. Right now I have 10cc-Not In Love at Pod Chase and Cat Stevens-Father Son on Yondu modes. I'm going to experiment with other loops for these mode standby screens.

Also, can anyone confirm what request number is for entering your high score initials?

Thanks, I am going to make this game rock with the sound. Just replaced all 8 mode standby sounds and am close to posting to my beta testers. Feel free to PM me if you can help and evaluate.

Going to be posting new versions soon. I have replaced all 8 standby mode loops and am finishing "Immolation Initiative call outs....heck I don't even know if it's a working mode yet, but the sounds exist.

Shameless plug, but looking to fund the Stern Topper for my Pro. If you feel like you're getting a better game experience with the new sound package let me know if you would like to contribute to that fund. I will provide sound updates going forward with new updates just like I did with The Walking Dead. And, where in the heck can you even get that topper? I don't see it in the Stern Shop....but dang I want it.

PM sent, not looking for a cash grab, just seeing if my 80 plus hours are making the game more enjoyable.
And I do like that topper

I've been getting some great feedback and will certainly keep updating and adding things.

What to you guys think of using Jay and the Americans-Come a Little Bit Closer for Yondu Mode?

Another suggestion was:

"I wanted to hear what your thought of replacing the Groot Multiball music with Fox on the Run. The opening of that song screams Guardians and might be excellent to hear during Groot MB."

What say most of you, I think I like both of those ideas.

Come a little bit closer for Yondu is going to work perfectly, already did the edit.

I'm not sure about Fox on the Run for Groot Multiball, that current stock music is 9 mins long and is quite epic.

What about using Fox on the Run for Knowhere mode? That current music is pretty dull....

Yeah, I'll post here but will probably have new versions by Friday night. The links I have sent will remain the same. Just download again and flash to your SD card when I tell you I have updated.

This is epic help!!!!!!! Thanks!

Can't be anything I did as I only replace sound requests, nothing else. Could be a bug in .87 code. There are many placeholder call outs too that are not heard in the game yet. With the next Stern update I'm sure there will be more.

Just to make sure you are using my current version and flashed your SD card properly. If you hear the new mode music selections
"Fox On The Run" music for "Sibling Rivalry" Modes
"David Bowie-Moonage Dream" music for "Knowhere" Modes
"Come A Little Bit Closer" music for "Yaka's Arrow" Modes

Then you have the latest image for the .87 code. I'll address more when new Stern code is posted.

Great to hear! I kinda felt like I might have overdone the volume on the newly added songs, so I have reduced them by -3db and uploaded new versions.
It feels more balanced to me, so if anyone wants to download again and flash their card have at it. I'll keep tweaking behind the scenes in anticipation for the next code release.

Crap, now you probably won't sell it

Code needs some work for sure, and there's only so much I can do without original assets. I did use the center channel track from the 5.1 dvd which is mainly the dialogue track, but there is some background mix they leave in there too. Anyway, I will keep tweaking away for the next release.

So close to funding the topper, many thanks!

Thanks, I am eagerly awaiting the next update from Stern to make it better.

Thanks, and I'm happy to report that thanks to all you generous Pinsiders....The topper has been funded, ordered, and should be here on Friday.
Will post pictures and video.

That would be cool, but with current code it only triggers that request. I think that will change with the next update and more songs will cycle though.....at least that’s what I’m hoping for.

Well look what just arrived! Looks like they have existing TWD topper boxes but no more TWD toppers

Will post pictures installed and video later tonight. But all you lucky suckers are probably at TPF or Arcade Expo this weekend.

Congrats Chris and great to talk to you, I hope you had a blast at TPF. I'll PM you the info now.

Safe travels back home!

Here’s some video of the cool topper. Only played a couple of games and didn’t see it integrated into any modes. Only attraction mode for now, hopefully new code changes that.

Congrats on picking up the game and glad you were able to load the SD card without issues. Can't wait for new code to be posted and update that.....stay tuned!

That’s cool, I just hope they use more sound requests for specific places. They could only call for Cherry Bomb for that multi ball mode and not reuse that song in so many multiple places like it is in current .87 code. I can’t wait to address the new code when it drops.

Downloading now to see how the sound changed. Hopefully, I can just run the macro and it will load everything over.
Looks like I'm putting "Cherry Bomb" back in for sure though

I'm going to make it so you download a new .90.img file to write back to your modified 2nd SD card. Keep the original and run Stern's stock USB update so you always have both options. The links that were sent out will remain the same, you will only need to change "87" to "90" in the links to download.
I could make it the smaller USB to update to your 2nd card, but then I'd have to have you all PM me again for new links.
Good news, some new audio......bad news everything has shifted so I'll probably need to go line by line again

I'm using PB 6.00 without issue so far.

I can send you a link to the Stock .90 Image for the Pro if you want. I also need someone to send me a link to the Stock LE .img file after updating to .90
I am working the Pro code first since that's my game, but can run the new macro on a stock .img file for the LE/Premium.

Big thanks to MadPole for providing me with stock .90 LE image. Still working on the Pro sound and will be able port over to LE Premium once I'm done with that.
The holiday weekend is kicking my butt though, as in I have not had much time in front of the computer due to family stuff. I did manage to get a few games in on the new stock code and am loving the new rules and way it's shaping out though. Hang tight and stay tuned!

Topper still only works in attraction mode and is not integrated like Ghostbusters

Quick update, I'm taking two more days to implement some lines from volume 2 of the movies....I've had some thoughts to make it better instead of just porting over from .87. Hang tight, it's gonna be good!

Hey all you Pro owners. Paste this after the .com in the previous link I PM'd all. Premium/LE owners hang tight, I will hopefully get that posted tomorrow.
I lost three hundred lines of my macro due to my Mac auto updating software while I was asleep one night
Still working on some music options I'll address with the next update, that's supposedly going to make the topper work at the end of the month
Version .90 Pro
/s/0pndnncc3yvt6jv/GOTG%20CLELAND_PRO_90.img?dl=0

Added over 6 years ago: Premium/LE Owners add this after ".com" to the links you were originally sent.

/s/q6g4d0xa831y1ke/GOTG%20CLELAND_LE_90.img?dl=0

But of course, along with many more

Thanks for the comments, you are among the first to hear the new .90 update with my sound package. I am for sure working on implementing some call outs from VOL 2. Along with getting Brandy, Cheap Trick - Surrender, and Fleetwood Mac - Chain in there. Loving how this game is coming along!

Thanks guys, GOTG is such a close and personal favorite franchise of mine, I just have to make it better! 22 more lines of code to go for the Premium/LE!

I'll see if I can get some video posted soon. Updated post #172 for Premium/LE owners to update to .90 Sound Update.

Thank you from halfway around the world, so glad you’re enjoying the game more. I have been playing with my own personal version including some new quotes from Volume 2 and other music. I expect another official update that I will address hopefully by end of month. Game is shaping up nicely though!

Thanks for the constructive feedback, and I totally agree with you on many accounts. I wish I had access to the dialog only track from the movies, but the best I can do is pull the center channel mono file and work with that. It still contains some music mix but is cleaner than using a stereo rip of it.

Truth be told, I don't think the sound alikes are that bad in this game too.....not like how horrible TWD and Xmen were.

I'm working through VOL 2 of the movie currently and pulling sound clips to implement in places/characters that make sense for the next update.
But, in the end I'll probably end up with two versions. One that keeps the stock call outs but replaces the music and one with real movie sound clips and replaced music.

Yeah, me too! Downloaded the code, it's the wife's birthday on Saturday, so I probably won't get a good look at the changes until Sunday.

I hope to get Brandy and Fleetwood Mac Break The Chain in there this round for sure!

Sorry for the delay of .95 sound update, I've been busy with other issues as of late. I will have the weekend to work on it though, so hang on and thanks for your comments and support!

I just got back from seeing Avengers Infinity War today! Wow GOTG are well represented throughout the movie, and there are a ton of quotes that would work in the game. No spoilers, but I really enjoyed most of that movie and love how much GOTG there was, almost felt like Vol 3.

Should be wrapping up porting everything over to .95 tonight and post links. But then, I’m going get started on implementing a few quotes from Vol 2 and eventually Infinity Wars when it comes out on DVD.

Thanks, I wish I was STARLORD! I wanted to do more with this update, but it takes so much time. I'll continue to work quietly in the background to implement some VOL 2 quotes where they make sense/fit and eventually Infinity War.

This is correct. Restore the .img link to your second SD card. I think next go around I will use the USB method since you all should have 2nd SD cards by now and the file size will be reduced for download.

Thanks to Sinestro who found a couple of lines I missed. Not bad, only two of over 600

"Sir, the high end community..." "Abobolebobo" 1st exchange

That first exchange is the voice actors. The remaining part of the conversation is audio from the movie.

Links have been updated. Sorry you'll have to download and flash to your card again for two lines.

Thanks, I have such a love for GOTG and this game is shaping out nicely. Such a great group of misfits.....love this Marvel franchise more than any other.
I have to make it the best!

Oh boy, downloading now....I hope I can just run the macro by now and not have to alter 600+ lines individually.
I think this go around I'll just post USB update links. You should all have an alternate SD card for my updates by now, and this will cut the file download size in half. Stay tuned!

Happy to hear they fixed this so quickly. It's a long holiday weekend here in the states, and it's my 13th wedding anniversary on Monday but I'll do my best to port over the sounds to 1.01 as quickly as possible. I do have a case of Rockstar No Sugar energy drinks on hand, so that helps

I want to thank you all so much for your PM's, comments and support. I love this franchise and game so much, it deserves to be the best!

I'm happy to help! I can't wait until you get your game and encourage you to play some games on the stock sound SD card first. Then, install my sound update and enjoy the true GOTG experience.

With the LE/Premium USB method you can go from any previous version and it will update. You can even run it on the stock SD card, but I don't recommend this.
As I have said in the past, have two SD cards. Your stock one, and your modified one. If someone can post me a .img of the LE/Premium file, I'll update it that way too. I'm just trying to get you LE/Premium users up to 1.01 as quickly as possible, and without a stock .img file of 1.01 of the LE this is the only way.

EDIT: COULD NOT GET THE USB METHOD TO WORK AND AM WAITING FOR A STOCK LE IMAGE OF 1.01.

From your previous posts, I have implemented this since .95. I did all the movie callouts first and then the music changes last. Therefore, in the macro I can simply remove the last commands for the music callouts and you can retain stock music and only have the movie quotes. I'll see if I can get that to you soon.

Yeah, the USB method is confirmed to not be working for the LE/Premium. I am removing the link and waiting to get a stock LE .img file from someone with an LE/Premium. Anyone able to do this? I can send you a dropbox invite where you can post it. It will be a quite large file, 8 gigs, so it will take some time to upload.

EDIT: twenty84 is sending me the stock LE .img file. So, a big thanks and hang tight you LE/Premium owners. I'll post a link as soon as I can for you.

Post #258 now has the LE link to the full .img version of 1.01. If the link says uploading, give it some time and check back. Off to see Solo a Star Wars Story now

Assuming this error comes back at the end of restoring the .img file to the SD card.
It should still be fine. I get that error with the dd Utility app. I think it's because the directory structure is a Stern custom one, and the program doesn't recognize it.
Load the SD card in your game and do please do report back though.

Thanks to all you Pinsiders for appreciating the work it takes to make this happen, and the reward we all get with our games being better and true to The Guardians Of The Galaxy experience.

Gotta be a bug or one time event. I only change the sound files and alter nothing else to the code. Do let me know if you run into another issue though.

It sure sounds like a loose monitor cable connection. As suggested play some games on the stock SD card and see if it still happens. If it does, start looking at cable connections. Or you could do that first.

Why don't you guys PM me and I'll send you a link to the version with only the movie lines in, but with the stock music.
I need to know if you have a Pro or LE/Premium Sinestro had a pro so that's all ready to go. But, I can run the macro on the LE image if there's enough interest.

Edit: I have PM'd those guys and now have the "Sinestro" version available for those that want stock music and only the movie lines replaced. If you want this version PM me and which version of the game you have. Thanks Sinestro for this!

Sorry to hear this. The .img files are huge at 8 Gigs, so it will take some time. Maybe you can find a local cafe or friend with a fast internet connection?
Also, it's important to make sure the computer doesn't go to sleep since it can take hours to complete the download.

Or, maybe someone overseas can post a successful download to a hosting service over there and share a link with @lamihh? You should specify if you have a Pro or LE/Premium.

That's not fair, I love Kraut How about anyone willing to host to a different file service other than Dropbox?

Oh boy, I'll have to take a look but it should be a simple macro run at this point.
Are there a lot of changes?

Etcher is the easiest way to flash the .img file link I provide to a new SD card. No need to format, just run the program, point it to the .img file and when it's down replace with the stock SD card in your machine.
Always be sure to go into GOTG Game settings menu and change "Speech Attenuation" to around -22. The higher the negative value, the louder the call outs are over the music.

I won't get a look into 1.02 until over the weekend as I am swamped with stuff right now.

You sir have hit the nail on the head. Some modes I thought just deserved a proper music fit. Others I left alone because they are usually epic buildups.
I'm still tinkering in the background though. There will be an update with 1.02 to see what tastefully fits in.

Thanks to you all for the support, I really appreciate the comments and positivity you all provide. More to come!

I love you guys and your passion "Boom" had been noted and added to the list for sound updates.
But yes for Avengers Infinity Wars, I really need to wait for the DVD release to pull dialog from the center channel.

Deleted Post, all 1.02 updates posted. Thanks to all who contributed.

Thanks, but you can cancel that upload if you'd like. Saber posted and I am running the macros now. LE/Premium updates are live now in POST #364.
Big thanks to both MadPole and Saber for contributing.

On a side note, I need someone with an Iron Maiden Pro that can send me the .img file for that if you can. Please PM me.
Thanks

Minor tweaks, nothing that affects sound. You can run the stock Stern Update via USB to your modified SD card and it will update, but leave the modified sounds alone.

Look back at post #364 That has links for the entire disc image you can write to an SD card using Etcher or similar flashing program.
I would flash it to a new SD card but you can overwrite your stock SD card. If you want a "Stock" Stern disc image PM me and I'll send you a link.

Thank you midhandicapper for the nice write up, and very helpful steps all in one place.
Don’t forget to go into GOTG game settings and set the last option “Speech Attenuation” to around -20 or so. The higher the negative value the louder the call outs will be over the music.

Happy to invest all the work to make this pin shine in the audio department

Glad you enjoyed your time with it. Seems just like yesterday you called me from a show asking about it

It must be just so many requests at once. I didn’t alter the song for Cherry Bomb multiball, still stock.

Yes, I am planning on doing Deadpool. Just played a Pro on location and couldn’t hear that well, but I plan on pulling from the video game to start. Might get into some of the music with replacements from the movies too, once I evaluate it some more.

Bingo, should be able to just run the USB update over your modified sound SD card. I'll check tomorrow, but it should be fine with the minor tweaks to code.

Yes good to note, and those should be the default settings when updating via USB....I think.

Yes, High Scores will reset even with the quick update. I could send you your own custom code with your high score set to whatever you'd like

DO NOT UPDATE TO 1.06 UNTIL I FUTHER EVALUATE.

1.02-1.04 Enjoy... The game really is complete.

Keep reading for current links.

The 1.06 links above should be, but they are still uploading. Sinestro will confirm when posted and he can load his game.

Hmm....Sinestro confirmed he was able to unzip no problem. Anyone else care to give it a try, and those that have give it another go.

This seems to be an issue with Windows and .zip files over 4 gigs I’m guessing. I am on a Mac and never have any problems

Guess I’ll post the .img files, but they are 16 gigs each so it will take some time. Should have the LE/Premium version by the end of the weekend posted too.

Keep reading for new links.

Thanks, it's a project that is near and dear to me. Unfortunately, i'm in a job transition and had to liquidate a lot of the fun stuff in my life
Still love the franchise and the game...I hope to get another one someday when my life is stable.

LE PREMIUM 1.06 Full Images are now posted. A BIG THANKS to @cpr9999 for providing the stock image and troubleshooting with me!

LE/PREMIUM Cleland Version 1.06 (Features Music Change and Movie Lines)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ylj6nderwtztq2/GOTG_CLELAND_LE_1_06.img?dl=0

LE/PREMIUM Sinestro Version 1.06 (Features Stock Music and Only Movie Lines Replaced)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9pvvs45unmc1he/GOTG_SINESTRO_LE_1_06.img?dl=0

Yup, I just sent a request to applejuice to send me the Stock PRO 8 gig .img file and I can run the macros and repost the files to be at 8 gigs.
cpr9999 alerted me of this and it was corrected right off the bat for the LE Images. The links will remain the same, I will just replace with the Pro 16 gig versions with 8 gig versions to cut download times and use smaller size SD cards.

Well thanks for that tip! Links have been changed to reflect that now.

Pro Cleland
Pro Sinestro
LE/Premium Cleland
LE/Premium Sinestro

They are all just under 8 gigs and will fit on an 8gig are larger SD card.
