Jurassic Park - possible to 'rip' level maps from the game? - Page 3

Joe Maroni · 19 February 2011, 21:09

level 2 is a 3d section...

laffer · 19 February 2011, 21:21

Actually it's not

I just played through the PC version and the first 3D section is after the two first 2D levels.
I tried the Amiga version again and it's the same there.

Steve · 19 February 2011, 21:32

Yeah I'm playing through it at the moment so I should know. lol. Level 1 is is the tyrannosaur paddock, 2 is triceratops paddock, 3 is the first indoor level, 4 is the stegosaur paddock. So really the map is level 2 the triceratops paddock.

Joe Maroni · 19 February 2011, 22:07

ok...picture comment was changed...

i´ve used the level codes and thought that they were correct..

BTW:

still working on the next outside level (i think this is right when i say it is level 5

)

it is really much work..but still the best result for a gamemap...

Cool

Some really big maps

Joe Maroni · 21 February 2011, 22:59

...found some free time beside family and worked an hour on the map

things are going more perfect.....

Nice

Will this make the remaining maps easier to rip as well?

it is still easier to rip them that way instead of put screenshot after screenshot to have the whole map...

i´ve nearly finished the level 5 map...uploaded to HOL, but its not perfect..some particular tiles needs to be replaced....

http://hol.abime.net/828/gamemap

and this was necessary to make lvlrip understand the level 5 data:

Quote:

source$ = RequestFile$("","",0,"")
dest$ = RequestFile$("","",1,"")

s = ReadFile (source$)
d = WriteFile (dest$)

For i = 0 To FileSize(source$)/2-1

value = ReadShort (s)

value = swap_bytes (value)
value = value Shr 2
Select True
Case value <$5F
wert = value
Case value => $5F And value <=$7E
wert = value-1
Case value > $7E And value <=$8B
wert = value-2
Case value > $8B And value <=$8F
wert = value-77
Case value >$8F And value <=$EF
wert = value-3
Case value >$EF And value<=$130
wert = value-4
Case value >$130 And value <=$139
wert = value-4
Case value >$139 And value<=$153
wert = value-6
Case value >$153 And value<=$191
wert = value-7
Case value >$191 And value<=$2F0
wert = value-8
Default
wert = 0
End Select

wert = swap_bytes (wert)
WriteShort d,wert

Next
End

;read a short and swap bytes to get the right value
Function swap_bytes (word)
byte1 = word And 255
byte1 = byte1 Shl 8
byte2 = word Shr 8
mod_word = byte1 Or byte2
Return mod_word
End Function

What about the savestate for this level?

You'll find it in the zone.

Joe Maroni · 24 February 2011, 22:15

thanks....i´ve looked some minutes at your savestate and can say following things that i need to generate the map:

complete map is 3904 pixel wide
122 blocks in a row
189 blocks per column
925224 - position of start for collision array
890616 - position of start for offsets to blocks
complete size of map data is 23058 bytes

everything we need to start understand the data "format"

but i won´t start until weekend..

EDIT: savestate must be uncompressed

Steve · 24 February 2011, 22:42

Ok. An uncompressed save state is now in the zone!

Joe Maroni · 24 February 2011, 22:43

not necessary anymore...i´ve done it myself with WinUAE..

Steve · 24 February 2011, 22:44

Aaaaaargh! I wish you would have said earlier! That was a waste of 5 minutes.

Joe Maroni · 08 March 2011, 22:58

topic is not dead...i had to write a little tool for myself to generate the map easier than the way i did before....

look at pic 2...

it uses some functions from lvlrip...

laffer · 10 March 2011, 03:06

Cool! Glad to see this project isn't dead, it will be really nice to have all the maps from this game.

laffer · 23 March 2011, 21:26

I don't mean to nag, just curious if you're still working on this?

You got so far, would be a shame to stop now after all that work

Joe Maroni · 16 September 2013, 15:03

I've found this old thread...anyone like to continue the work on the game ?

It should be easier now with Maptapper....
