MissionForce: CyberStorm v1.0 and v1.1 patch, release 7
The old 16-bit MVB help files for the manuals have been recompiled into the much-more-modern HTML help format (CHM, which, technically, is now also outdated but should also be supported in the foreseeable future). 😱 All three languages are included. It took a lot of tool writing plus mashing up with a variety of existing tools. The process is very loosely documented in the repo files here.
The conversion is near-perfect, but not perfect. Getting the final bit of perfection would have required maybe twice the work. Not worth it for the few edge cases where lines don't break properly in tables and such.
On the bright side, you now can zoom in (like with any other HTML browser) and other modern help features. I also rebuilt the hot-spot maps for the heck of it so that the hexagon menus now have matching hexagon hot spots (instead of an approximate mash of three or so rectangles in the original).
The supplied MVIEWER2.EXE merely translates the old context-sensitive calls to the equivalent call in the CHM load. It is just a DOS batch file converted to an EXE. The source is in the repo.
Users who were on release 6 can skip the patch install and just unzip the MANUAL folder and use that to replace their current MANUAL folder.
Sierra's custom Herc files and Madaxe's HercView tool
Recovered from the Internet Archive:
- A zip of Sierra's 1996 Christmas present of 89 custom Herc files
- A zip of the installer for Madaxe's HercView tool (32-bit and still runs on Win10)
3D Ultra MiniGolf Deluxe v2.0, German patch, release 6
Another German version found and added: MaxiMiniGolf (re-release by Big Fun Software). Closes #21.
MissionForce: CyberStorm v1.0 and v1.1 patch, release 6
Same as Release 5 with French and German versions of the patched DLL now added (no v1.1 to worry about in French and German as far as I can find).
MissionForce: CyberStorm v1.0 and v1.1 patch, release 5
Finally, this patch is now ready for prime time! The compat shim that previously fixed the Save/Load issue has been removed and replaced by a machine code mod to CWARSDLL.DLL that should be more universal across OSs.
US and Europe patches unified (finally). Although, French and German versions not patched yet.
CyberStorm Single Player v1.2, homebrew mod
