Alien Trilogy Resurrection

Update : 28 days ago I started this project now and it is coming along nicely, I have all the games textures extracted, the ability to edit palettes, replace textures and all sorts of odds and ends necessary for modding the original game.

Just finished fixing my issues with writing the UV data for models extracted from Alien Trilogy.

New features for the toolset are the Model Viewer, though not really a viewer per-se, it is capable of extracting the model files.

And the level viewer, also not really a viewer yet and might never end up being a full blown level editor as I had initially planned, but I am using it to parse the level data for now.

I think the best option is just to port it to GZDoom to modernise it, update it and make it more accessible, the original game was very limited, running at a maximum of 640x480 etc

 

Original Post :

I recently ( 4 days ago ) began work on a project aimed at making a toolkit for extracting the files from Alien Trilogy into a usable format. Thought I would post here as well.

My end-goal is to make a fully fledged modding toolkit for the game, level editor and all, however I am making no promises that I will actually get that far.

Currently the toolkit can do nothing more than read the raw audio data or raw text data, as well as export to .wav, as of today it can export and replace textures and I am working on editing the colour palettes used to render them as well.

You can find the project at : GitHub

Currently there isn't an actual release for it, but the readme contains a road map and some preview images.

I was honestly super surprised that the game had not been ported to GZDoom or something similar yet!

I am also working on a similar toolkit for another game ( Jeff Waynes The War of The Worlds, an old RTS PC game ) see my signature for a link.
