[obsolete] EoB 1 AGA Project

[CFou!]

Hi


DLSILVER is pushing me to translate EOB1 un French/Italian and polish.

This work is started (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...ht=translation)

But he push me to done an AGA version of the game...

This first test are started:

1) EOB & EOB1 files are already successfully ressourced (again some problem with EOB2)
2) all VGA datas can be extracted from PC version using WestPack2
3) a unpacker/packer are already ripped and works with amiga CPS,INF files and CMP/CPS/INF PC file
4) I am working on a routine to use directly PC pictures screen & palettes on amiga and displayed it in AGA (beta released soon)

If i can finished current work, i will try first to update EOB1 file to display directly PC VGA graphics files

but i have a little problem, PC version seems don't contain OUTRO animation in the COUNCIL

Is it normal?

If many guys are interested I am agree to finish it,

so thank you to leave a little word on this thread to encourage me to continue this work

Cant wait for EOB / AGA coloured

[keropi]

damn, I have finished the pc version but cannot remember about the outro...

GREAT WORKS you guys, can't wait to re-play it on my amiga in AGA!

[Marcuz]

i personaly think that the palettes used for the pc verson are ugly, while the 16 colours of the amiga forced the designer to smart drawing. i salute the effort tough. it would be great to be able to hack it all the way, total convert it next

Bertrand as i told you on the phone, the eob version on amiga had an animated outro because Pc players have complained about static images in their version.

hence the programmers change it and put an animated sequence ^^ hehehe ^^

THis sounds fantastic and can't wait to play this

[Adderly]

GREAT! I can't wait to replay the game with AGA gfx!
Just as i thought we had a summer hole on eab this thread comes along! Merci CFOU!

It's 3 files not modified!!!!!
(PC files was been just extracted with wonferfull WESTPAK2 Tool)
* First Amiga file is loaded, decrunched and displayed (32 colors KING picture)
* Press Left Mouse button to continue (Bleu screen)
* 2 seconds of delay
* both PC files are loaded and decrunched
* VGA screen are converted in AMIGA bitmaps screen 256 colors

What about porting EOB III from PC to Amiga. Main engine looks similar ta previous edition (i mean EOB I/II). Maybe it will enoug ONLY to convert data files and use the angine from EOB II.

i think to try to do it...

If eob1& eob2 can be convert in aga, why not, but it's seems eob3 motor was rewritten by others team... (datas are to extract from one gig file of the game and westpak2 can hellp us.
