Game News Codex Scoop: Temple of Elemental Evil world editor discovered hidden in game's official Polish patch

[pippin]

Congratulations, people of Glorious Potato Empire. I knew I could count on you, even 12 years after the fact.

 

[Perkel]

So in the end Temple of Elemental Evil was the most polished game coming out of Troika ?

 

[Niektory]

Haha, I've had it on my drive all these years, it's in plain sight in the game's main folder too.

So whose alt is our friend Temple of Elemental Kurwa?

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

this makes the watergate scoop seem like small....

So whose alt is our friend Temple of Elemental Kurwa?

Drog, obviously.

 

[VioletShadow]

Oh wow men

 

[deuxhero]

The game's editior was inside you all along

With all the KS now this feels like when Tom Hanks gets rescued from that remote island and his welcome party is serving sea food.

Still happy about it.
ToEE was lots of fun.




Sitra Achara do you confirm this or is it an hoax?

 

[Dreaad]

This is why pirates created maps with red crosses. Think of all the treasures lost in time.

INB4 total conversion of MotB.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Oh wow, what a find. Great news!

 

[Alex]

This is pretty great! Is anyone testing out the editor yet?

 

[Admiral jimbob]

This place is fucking mental I swear to god.

 

[Lhynn]

gay as hell

 

[Admiral jimbob]

I mean it in a good way but really, where else would a discovery like this come from a babbling Polish alt named Temple of Elemental Kurwa, after 12 years

 

[Dorateen]

Does this mean I can start converting Hearkenwold into the ToEE engine?

 

[deuxhero]

Tim Cain has and owns the ToEE source, but can't release it because it would enable no-CDing ToEE and Arcanum, even though all modern releases of those games already remove those checks.

Atari's corpse can't die fast enough.

 

[DeepOcean]

So... is this good news? Anyone can actually do something with it or this is only an important discovery for the polish software archeology?

 

[Lhynn]

Does this mean I can start converting Hearkenwold into the ToEE engine?

Beautiful plug, ill try your game. And yeah, maybe you should look into that.

 

[Durwyn]

Jajca jak berety...

 

[Sceptic]

INB4 total conversion of MotB.

 

[Blackmill]

An Arcanum remake would be awesome. Just imagine that game with a better camera and good combat.

 

[imweasel]

I guess Tim thought it would be a bit too obvious to hide this little surprise in an EFIGS patch...

 

[A horse of course]

Behead all ToEEcucks


Has anyone checked if it actually works yet?

 

[Niektory]

Works for me.

I've already greatly improved encounter design:
