Treasure Trap

tomcat666 · 17 April 2007, 15:37

Hullo

Any progress on this last little gem of a iso3d adventure game ? It is basically one of the best iso 3d games on the miggy and one of the few that hasn't been given the whd treatment

Hope its not a lost cause ...

Any news on WHDLoad version of "Treasure Trap" ????

TC

C code is unlovely

girv · 21 January 2008, 21:40

@dlfrsilver: you're right, but so you mean you are working on it ?

dlfrsilver · 22 January 2008, 17:03

not at all, Galahad had started to dev a slave for this game

but he encountered some pbs....

Retro-Nerd · 10 July 2008, 22:37

This game looks nice. Is is really hard to patch this one for WHDLoad?

Damn it, one of Galahad's lost slaves (50% ready). Will you try it again...someday?

tomcat666 · 29 August 2009, 22:13

Bumpin' this thread...

Anyone had any luck with Treasure Trap ?

Galahad/FLT · 30 August 2009, 03:03

Its a hard slog, its so damned buggy, and C code

Compiled code is always a pain

A shame really, since it is a great game (plays pretty damn fast and fluid for a C game ...). Hope you manage it one day. Thanx for tryin !

dlfrsilver · 23 May 2012, 14:11

i have look it's to hard...

i am quickly almost finish patch using generix Emarals game patch..

only some speedlock protections very easy to crash...

just to replace Zero (as original code beetween first:
sub.l a2,a2
and lads:

beq (not crypted)=>replace by BRA

here for infomation joinded Treasure trap decoded speedlock...

not necessary but decrypted for fun

StingRay · 09 April 2013, 19:52

The 4 protection checks in this game are rather useless. I also know "someone" who converted all binary files to standard Amiga DOS executables since game has "hidden" relocation info.

tomcat666 · 09 April 2013, 20:18

Sting: do u have this standard file version and willing to share? would it work off hd?

StingRay · 09 April 2013, 20:24

"Someone" told me that this version sure does work from HD.

As for sharing, not yet as "someone" has set a personal "deadline" for not sharing any work he did on this game so that someone else who's been working on this for a very long time already can finish his work. We'll see.

Important message to Galahad & Stingray:
At the request of alots of WHDLoad users registered, I did some research to see the real difficulty of the work to be done to make the WHDLoad patch for Treasure Trap

I was badly surprised because there was no particuly difficulty for this job:
- Filesystem classic DOS Emeralds track
- Some protection Speedlocks very easy to remove

In a few hours, without realizing it, I almost finished the patch for two versions of the game! while losing a lot of time to decrypt the protection code SpeedLock for fun when it is not used for the patch.

It is unimaginable and unacceptable after so long a simple patch to write is not released ...

As a result, I believe (as many users) that courtesy is between developers WHDLoad is no longer set ....

I stop temporary my job (just at the end of this week.)
But if neither Stingray and Galahad have released the patch, I finish my patch because I do not have much work to do to finish the WHDLoad archive and released

Hoping that you will understand my position,

Friendly,
BertranS/CFou!

TCD · 09 April 2013, 23:52

I think a lot of WHDLoad users can understand your position CFOU. I really hope that Galahad will be fine with handing this one over to either you or StingRay

I'm really surprised by this comment. CFou requested the original less than 2 days ago and I sent it, and he's gotten the game working already. That conflicts completely with the comments above. CFou is clearly a better coder!

This patch deserves to be released NOW, people have waited since at least 2008, and CFou's completed it.

If WHDLoad installers sit on a game for too long and can't make progress, it's only fair to let someone else complete it. I had no time to work on Ghosts'n'Goblins and happily handed over all my source to CFou who completed it quickly. Surely this is the best way to go forward?

CFou: Please release the game as is!
