I know how the OP2_ART.BMP is formatted, it's very basic... I also know some about how the image wells are formatted, and the 1st part of the PRT.... but I don't know anything about the PRT beyond the palettes.

It may be basic, but if you don't know, you don't know.

Would you care to enlighten me?

Yes i think they backupped it in the development time. then they simply pressed <delete> and distributed the game...

Sierra was evil.... B)

Ill sign...

lol just dont lets the feeling of Sierra get you and force you to join... the Sierraists!

If there was a petition, I'd sign. I just wish there was still hope with source code.

And why would anyone want to make a 3D sequel? What would that really add to the game? All I can see is that it would make my computer lag because I'm never gonig to get a good computer/graphics card.

Long live 2D games! Long live :op2: !

Btw, isnt there a way to reverse engineer the whole game?

You mean over 400000 lines of assembly?

Count me out. That would take many many years. It would be faster to just start from scratch. I guess if you wanted to make a clone that was very accurate to the original, then you could just reverse engineer parts of it. (Large parts of it). But then again, I think you should get a good enough idea about how it works from playing it. Besides, the original is a little unbalanced at times. I'm somewhat content with making small tweaks to the original while waiting for one of the OP3 projects to arrive.

Well the Edenians and Plymouthians reverse engineered THEIR databases in a quick while so maybe we could rewrite it? IDK...
