Demo Engine Question

Post by chronzerg »

How did you TC Ops guys get the demo engine to load the level "Tc_Isles" instead of "demo"?

Editing the .exe with some hex editor, I guess...

Yep, our pal Rebel (I think??? either that or Remdul) edited the JPDS exe to load JPDS1 instead of demo. ;) He also made it use li_JPDS1_0.tga instead of li_other_0.tga... unfortunately, he made it so "other" levels also use li_JPDS1_0.tga.. which was not my intention, so I have to get back to him on that (I was hoping for a custom image for "other" levels used in our engine). Plus we need a loading screen for JPDS2, JPDS3, and JPDS3R (and possibly JPDS2A, the aviary level, we're still not sure on that).
