    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    Today I've been cooking the web map viewer It allows loading the map and the editor shapes independently and inspect them. Right now it renders the map image on the server and sends the editor objects separately so they can be inspected, this is the current Phase 2. Phase 3 is in progress and...

    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    I don't know wtf is up with map 33 but it's MASSIVE Like what even is going on here? Have I legit found an undocumented unused map? I think my next plan is to make the map visualizer into a web app so everyone can view these maps and I can add interactivity like live information about...

    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    I put the decompiled usecode so far and some python scripts on a public git repo https://maddoscientisto.github.io/Crusader-Map-Viewer/ More definitely to follow, including disassembled exports and other research material as I make it presentable, I just wanted to get some readable usecode out...

    I got loops and selectors working! ALARMHAT function alarmhat_equip() /* entry=321 class_id=0x0561 slot=0x0A */ { var referent, /* [BP+00h] type=0x69 */ var, /* [BP+0Ah] type=0x69 */ item, /* [BP-02h] type=0x24 */ npc; /* [BP-04h] type=0x24 */ set_info(0x0211, *(arg_06))...

    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    That's awesome, I don't think anyone ever reported finding this in the no regret usecode, although I don't think it really required advanced decompilation to see these string so a single string search might have turned up this one. Anyway I'm on lunch break at work and I set up my personal...

    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    And I present you: the usecode script for barrels: function barrel_slot_20() /* entry=370 class_id=0x0A00 slot=0x20 */ { var referent, /* [BP+00h] type=0x69 */ ref, /* [BP+0Ah] type=0x69 */ vel, /* [BP+0Ch] type=0x69 */ barrel, /* [BP-02h] type=0x24 */ item2, /* [BP-04h]...

    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    In this case the AI is more on the task of analyzing rather than generating and I believe it's doing some amazing work because it's been churning through that disassembly like crazy and unearthing lots of interesting things. I've been able to verify all these discoveries myself so far. I've...

    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    Here's some more analysis I did about the cheats table from TCRF KeyActionComment ~Toggle cheatsConfirmed working, it's Shift+`, which equals to ~. It toggles cheats on or off if jassica16 previously engaged cheat mode. It's a kind of redundant cheats soft toggle if cheat mode is enabled...

    I'm Reverse Engineering Crusader because I'm still obsessed about the game

    Link to the web app: https://maddoscientisto.github.io/Crusader-Map-Viewer/ Inspired by the great work Stauff did a few years ago and fueled by an unending obsession for anything Crusader I decided to start a new reverse engineering effort. I got about 49% through it and in doing so I...

    I tried to see if emulating a mac from 1995 would allow me to actually open the files from the Crusader design collection... it didn't

    It makes sense, I examined the files in a hex editor and the AI assistant mentioned multiple times that important data was completely missing. I could find headers for the file types but these "postscript" files completely lacked the postscript part. I also managed to reconstruct the DSC...

    I tried to see if emulating a mac from 1995 would allow me to actually open the files from the Crusader design collection... it didn't

    Little update: I tried to use AI to analyze the file data since I'm unable to do it myself. I know AI is prone to hallucinations and all but I think it still gave me some interesting information: The EPS files likely had the important data in a metadata structure that was lost when the files...

    I tried to see if emulating a mac from 1995 would allow me to actually open the files from the Crusader design collection... it didn't

    I've been very fascinated with the Crusader design collection ever since I found out about it from this very site some years ago, but unfortunately many of the files weren't viewable on windows and I never saw any effort online to try to run them on a mac. So yesterday I learned that mac...

    Some things just never lose their appeal...and Crusader is one of them.

    I'm using these config to run it with dosbox-staging, I have placed dosbox in a subfolder called DOSBOX-S, put both config files and the shortcut in the crusader installation folder then change the paths in the shortcut to your paths and maybe it will launch, tweak settings in the configs as needed

    Some things just never lose their appeal...and Crusader is one of them.

    Follow these instructions to be able to play without a CD: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Crusader:_No_Remorse Also I recommend DosBox-Staging, a fork of dosbox that comes with a pretty neat CRT filter and some other improvements, it's my favorite way to play the game. The ScummVM port is...

    Crusader games in ScummVM?

    There's still something wrong with the turning in the running controls, I haven't been found the time to properly prepare a bug report but since I was passing by here I thought I'd mention it, expect a bug report eventually

    No Regret Playing crusader no regret in 2022, boy is it hard!

    Yeah I found that path when I just started hack moving everything at the end of the level to find out what I missed, after I got done playing a cheat less playthrough. The enemies spawning behind are extremely unfair and I started noticing them even more, that's why mines and spider mines are...

    Trying to make a master list of easter eggs and secrets

    I don't know if anyone ever found this but here's what I found just outside the map in the level 14 easter egg room: Also I finally figured how to get in the room and documented it (just had to first get caught by the camera to open the panel and then use the secret switch in the other room)...
