Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93

Here's the executables and partial source code: DrakanSRSC.7z If you don't mind running executables from strangers, copy the contents of the bin directory to where dragon.rfl is, and then run "DrakanSRSC_Release_x64.exe" from the command line, in its directory, to catch any error messages....

Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93

Yes. Being the artist and programmer will take a while. Also, there might not be a need to completely throw away the original names of everything. They could be put into a separate mod of some sort that would be enabled by default or separately downloaded, and easy to remove in case of trouble. Or c...

Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93

This is a similar situation to OpenMW's. See https://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title=Bethesda_Emails . They take the route of loading the original game's files at runtime. Of course, for Drakan, this would create a problem where it would be impossible for the remake to reach a wider audience beyond ...

Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93

How will the music fit into the project? Ideally, you would be using DirectMusic directly, but I suppose that might be a bit difficult with Unity. Alternatively, it would be possible to write your own version of DirectMusic (or use Wine's version?) that would also work on Linux. Microsoft has even d...

Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93

I big fan of Drakan: Order of the Flame OST. I think music should be also remastered. I read in some topics it is possible to extract samples/midi from original music files Yes. The music can be extracted from the music.rrc file and played in DirectMusic Producer. There are SGT and DLS files, but n...

Re: Drakan Remake by YanGez93

I've looked at Drakan's database file format and it seems quite simple. Models, sounds, textures, animations, "sequences", and other stuff should be easily extractable. These adb/db/mod/odb/sdb/txd database files all start with "SRSC" and contain a hierarchy of named entries. See...

Re: Anyone wants to port Drakan 2 PS2 assets to Drakan 1 PC engine and sorta port the game?

If the file formats are simple, do what OpenMW did. Spend a couple of years recreating the engine.
