Sendy The Endless Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) Legality aside, awesome job! Is it worth me uploading the full map? Is there somewhere I can store the file without it being shrunk? Perhaps they could be used in something with the original author's blessing (and with credit to the artist, if that is not the same dude) Symbolshift, did you get these by cutting up the map, or from the game files? I'm excited about this! Edited January 22, 2023 by Sendy The Endless To edit it Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there somewhere I can store the file without it being shrunk? Is it a real map ? As in a layout of the game rather than a sprite/bitmap 'map' as above ? The maps topic would be good perhaps ? You can see it covers all versions, its not platform specific. 4 minutes ago, Sendy The Endless said: Perhaps they could be used in something with the original author's blessing (and with credit to the artist, if that is not the same dude) Yes that is worthwhile. I am actually waiting for perms on something else before I put it here even though its in a couple of other places, because the author is around other forums (afaik) but not here so I wanted to see. jetsetdanny and Sendy The Endless 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendy The Endless Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Yes, it's a screenshot map of the whole mansion. I uploaded it into my original post, but it got shrunk to hell. Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited about this! A .jar file is basically an archive. You can open this with something like WinRAR. Inside that, the files ti.dat and ov.dat are just renamed .png files. The author simply disguised the files rather than encrypting any data. Sendy The Endless and jetsetdanny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SymbolShift Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 I believe that Damien McFerran was only the reviewer of the game, not the developer. A review I strongly disagree with, especially the line "Willy was challenging and exciting. Standards have moved on since then." 😬 From what I can figure out... The game was developed in 2004 by a UK software house called Numfum (now exists as Numfum GmbH in Switzerland). Game credits go to: Paul Vera-Broadbent (lead artist?), Scott Watson, Adrian Brown and Carl Woffenden.
