TresCom Forums

I can see that you are obviously annoyed by many things, but please try to remain calm during these discussions. I can see that your motives aren't bad, and I know that everybody else would agree on this, but personally insulting everybody else on this board is NOT going to help me understand your point of view.

For as far as I understand, you wanted to have some sort of support to put up a wiki page on a different website. That is quite understandable, but instead of discussing this, it seems like you are getting yourself into an argument, which you are unlikely to win. If I or anybody else is concerned about legal issues, you will not change my perspective by rambling on about how shitty this website is. Rather, try to convince me that it is not of concern and try to find valid arguments for it. Or better yet, in case you cannot convince me in this particular case, give me some information on WHY I should still help you, even though it may be a little risky... so far you haven't adressed either...

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom leaked and (few) official photos

Meh, I want to apologize about my outburst yesterday. Yes, I was just looking for some people to help set up an article on the wiki for research purposes. No, I was not intending to jeopardize anybody's legal standing. I'm not an idiot you know. The site doesn't post links to illegal software either. They are about as against it as you guys are. They are just a wiki that digs through ROMS or PC games' internal data and post their findings without actually linking to the ROM/PC game itself. Lots of sites do this actually. (I should know, I've been to several and joined several of their forums as well.) An article on Trespasser would be huge. That's why I didn't want to deal with the task by myself.

So, now that I've explained my reasoning behind it, there you go.

Hi! I happen to be the guy that hosts and runs The Cutting Room Fl--

...oor.

We're not that bad, I swear... and growing bigger all the time. (3000+ weekly visits, 8000+ when someone like GoNintendo links to us)


I'm not going to really say one way or another on whether posting it on TCRF would increase your exposure, but it certainly can't hurt ... and our goal is to have stuff like this for every game, so one way or another I'd like it to be there eventually.


As for worrying if EA is going to come sue you, well ... I'll just say that the Chrono Trigger Prerelease has been happily documented (on TCRF too), and while Square-Enix sent a C&D to Chrono Compendium ... it was over their hack of the game, Crimson Echoes, and nothing else.

There are several sites out there that deal with exposing unused content in games from all companies (and I'm sure there are some from EA too) and I have yet to hear of any that have actually gotten any sort of takedown notice... except for Half-Life 2's leak, but that was mostly from people actually posting the game... Case in point, the Half-Life wiki has happily had their article on Half-Life 2's beta up for months (if not years) with no ill response whatsoever.


Hope I could clear some stuff up for you. No hard feelings.

I didn't expect you to be here Xkeeper. How on earth did you find this place? Well anyway, welcome to the boards.

Edit: Oh wait, looking at traffic to and from your site right?

More or less. I saw this thread long ago, then kind of raised an eyebrow when I started seeing it pop up again. Surprised it's still going.

Sorry to revive this old topic but good news everyone! The Trespasser article is now a featured article on the cutting room floor wiki! Special thanks to Tatu for being such a good consultant on certain things. (and for making a few edits as well)

Currently I'm working on a page for Plantation house on the prototypes page for the PCgamer prototype.

https://tcrf.net/Proto:Jurassic_Park:_Trespasser

You can see what I have done so far here. And yes if there was anyone to source I made sure to source them. If I missed you and you'd like to be sourced though, let me know.

Also, there's this other page I'm working on related to Trespasser:
https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Jurassic_Park:_Trespasser

The pages are only kind of complete as I've been focused on the prototype pages. If you'd like to help expand them in the mean time, please feel free. If not I'll get to them eventually.

One thing I do definitely need from the community though are PNG pictures of all the mystery models with textures and .wav rips of all the voice overs. I'm having trouble getting the sound dumping program to properly dump the voice overs so I REALLY need those. And yes no substitutes. They HAVE to be in these formats. (well the wav files will be converted to OGG but they have to be lossless to start out with per wiki standards) The wiki standards are VERY clear on this. The only exception are pre-release photos and screenshots which should stay in whatever format they were. For videos, youtube links/embedded youtube videos may be used.

Also another thing I could use is help determining what screenshots were released when so I can have an ordered development timeline. If anyone can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. On another note, who the hell messed up the photo gallery on the main site? Everything's disordered and it's now hard to find pre-release photos.

Take the existing pictures of the mystery models and re-save them as .png, then...

If you mean the ones from the PC Gamer and E3 versions... well, they aren't in the same format as the ones in the retail, beta or demo, and so TPAreader is unable to process them properly. I did extract them all to CAU files, however. You can use those to convert them to WAV either using TPAreader to add the to a dummy TPA file and convert them to wav from there, or using EffectsEditor (released together with the latest version of CE) to add them to a dummy TPA file likewise...


Uh... given that any ADPCM compressed sound is already compressed in a lossy way, it really is silly to demand that it be converted to a lossless format since there is no way to recover what has already been lost.



Good luck with that. After so many years, finding out where each image came from will be very difficult.


It's one of the things that happened during the server update... this is a new software that handles things differently.

Tres WIP: updated T-Script Reference and File Formats documents
Sound name listings for the Demo (build 117), Retail (build 116), Beta 103, Beta 99, Beta 97, Beta 96, Build 55, PC Gamer Alpha (build 32) and E3 1998 Alpha (build 22) TPA files

First off I can't take the existing pictures of the mystery models and convert them to PNG. That's against the rules of the wiki as well. as for the lossy thing, I mean they have to be in wav format, that means no converted MP3's. Also I need the retail audio files and build 96 where applicable. I don't think the E3 and PCgamer protos have anything new as far as voiceovers go.... do they?

Why can't you? You got approval from here to do so.

If you can't convert files from mp3 you can't really use the ones from the TPAs either since they are converted to Wav from CAU files.

The E3 and PCGamer audio is the VO without the echo and in higher quality.

As for the pictures: http://www.trescom.org/concept-art/ this is still the same as the old one. Easy to find earlier screenshots.

They have guidelines

I suggest you read them.



Yes I could do the last thing but I know someone must be able to take screenshots of the mystery models.
Regarding sound files, whatever. ADPCM is wav also Not really looking for the PCgamer/E3 audio files if that's the only difference. I'd do this myself if I could get the damn ADPCM program to rip them right. And I'd ask to tell me how but everytime I ask you guys find some way to ignore me asking for help.

Just use TPAReader to extract the audio from the TPA files. It will save them as Wav files.

We're trying to help, we're not ignoring you.

I still don't understand the image part. Do the images need to be taken from in-game? Just download the models and get a trial version of 3ds Max and take the images yourself. What you are asking is time consuming for a lot of us, you can't always expect people to have time to do everything. Loading, taking images, resize to only have the model, save takes a lot of time. Same goes for extracting the audio, which I guess you want to have named too.

Also, there are a lot of help on the forum or in the tools help files. We are not ignoring.

for some reason whenever I dump the voice overs to wav using TPA reader they don't work properly.

edit: okay no longer need the voice overs thanks to a fellow member of TCRF. I still need those images though but as you said I can get a trial of 3DS max.
