    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    So I've decided to setup a wiki at https://darkstone.fandom.com but haven't created any content yet at all. I hope to start documenting the scripting "language" in detail there soon, and my intention is to also e.g. create a list of all quests in the game, so I can link from the scripting docs...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Hehe, I wish I could have, but between the actual amount of work involved _and_ RL I just didn't get there in time. I like your video on Darkstone though, getting an entry in my Darkstone playlist on YT ;)

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Hey everyone, sorry for the silence, but I'm still on it! I've just finished some parsing code that can read the SPT files properly (the quest scripting) and while trying to figure out what does what in there I found out there is a decent overlap in SPT syntax and the DSM (state machine)...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Hey daivin, welcome, always happy to see another Darkstone fan! The online demo just uses the MTF file from the demo version of Darkstone. It should be able to render most of the levels in there correctly, though some textures of some levels are missing (since they are not playable in the demo)...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Thanks Poseidon . To all others, I'm still here, have been low in spare time, but have not forgotten this project. Decided to tackle more interactive matters next, skipping the animation decoding bits that I have been stuck on way to long for now. With a bit of luck I'll have a nice update over...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Great to hear, the more, the merrier. I've been a little quiet here, since work has been exploding and simply not getting enough brain-time at the moment. I'm almost finished with the character animations, just need to figure out how to calculate the translations of the "bones" (rotations are...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    I can render the (N)PCs! Only in default pose at the moment, but I've got a fair chunk of the animation format worked out too, so it shouldn't be too long before we can have them animated too. With all those things in place, the more interesting parts of actual gameplay can start, interacting...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    For anyone trying to play with modding Darkstone, I just made a discovery I think has not yet been mentioned anywhere else. With the original Darkstone, when you unpack an MTF, and delete/rename the original MTF file, the game will still run, straight out of the unpacked MTF data ;) This can...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Okay, just in case anyone thinks I've disappeared, I'm still around, and still hard at work on Darkstone Web. Having some issues with the placement/scaling of the objects in the room, close to getting it solved though. I expect to have an update online over the weekend, that at the very least...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    well, I'm sure most of the changes could be implemented in Darkstone Web, since the only limitation there is my time/motivation (though my intent is to make it very easy for non-devs to change things like loot drop rates, leveling, those type of things) When it comes to modding the existing...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Justt to show what a Darkstone noob I am, I just had the Monolith appear in my first playthrough (level ~20) :P Loving the sudden rain/storm vibes :D It just makes me love this game even more, and motivates me greatly to continue on this remake, and modernize it! Also, Golden-Dragon, every...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Great, and thanks for testing, as I only did pretty limited testing on it to be honest ;)

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Yes, you'll need to run the install command again, "nom install -g @game3dee/darkstone-tools" should do it. No auto-update implemented yet :D

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Golden-Dragon Okay, so the first step has been done, I just published a new version of Darkstone-tools where you can pass multiple directories to "mtf create" (like the option 1 I described in my post). I ran out of time to do the command line option tonight, but it will come in the upcoming...

    (Help Wanted) Darkstone: Evil Reigns Master Thread (Help, Patching and Modding)

    Cool, I'm just in the middle of a Darkstone Web update, but when I'm done with that I'll update the "mtf" tool to add that. It will likely be tonight or tomorrow evening.
