But I will certainly post about it when there are updates to the tools (and of course other updates as well). Right now, however, my primary focus is on the reverse-engineering work and getting Dark Forces functionally complete. :) And of course, testing out the tools when they become more functional would be great.
If you have suggestions for things that can make level editing easier or modding better or just tools you really like, please let me know. However I am planning on integrating asset and level editor tools, you can see early versions of them in the build (and screenshots). (Edit: Sorry the Quote started acting really weird so I deleted not really looking for help at the moment. This will also be useful for dealing with bugs since I can have people send me a save state where it happens. However, I am planning on adding a "save state" system, as you find in a modern emulator, in order to get proper save game functionality if you want to use it while keeping the original system in place. :DĪnd finally, save games . The original checkpoint/save system will be used as-is. The idea is that you will be able to put all your mods in a directory and then load the one you want to play through the in-app menu. It currently doesn't work yet but the plan is to directly load mods from their zip files. Why are there no quicksaves in this game? It's annoying to be forced to play through some of the massive levels later on without having the option to take a break.
Oh, and DF checkpoint system STILL sucks. This is badly needed, also since I want to play stuff like "The Dark Tide" series without having to be afraid of running into memory-related crashes in DOSBox. It wasn't the amazing experience I remembered it to be, mostly because I got used to high resolutions which the original version doesn't provide. I admit I couldn't wait for a solution and replayed DF a few months ago on DosBox after at least 20 years or so.
If this port will make mod usage as easy as "zip all mod files, drop them into a folder and load any zip to make it work", I am absolutely in. There are tons of good DF mods out there and it's a pain to set them up in DOSBox.
