I was hoping Sauron at Free Jag Project was going to make a home for these and I have never had time to put together a nice layout page for people to go through them and download, I gave these all to Jason at JSII and told him I'd give him plenty of time to use them for his Extremist packages and that eventually I would post them all up for all to d/l for free, well the day has come:

Spread these far and wide, make sure everyone has access to them, learns from them and uses them to everyone's benefit and for crying out loud - stop arguing and start coding, make some damned games - release them for free, let people try them out then if interest is high, then do a pre-order thing, take in some orders and make carts or cd's or whatever, but release the games first, even if you do a limited demo, just give people a free taste of games to play, but do the right thing by all and for yourselves and the jag community ---

[nonner242]

You da MAN Curt!
Thanks for this!
I will offer once again any artistic (and any other) help for ANYONE interested in making a game for the Jag.
Lets start putting some AWESOME games out.

Again, thank you for you work Curt.

I linked this to my forum.

[Zerosquare]

Once again, great thanks Curt !

[BuddyBuddies]

Thanks Curt!

[PeterG]

Cool stuff. Acutally I can't do anything with most of it, but I really enjoy going through things like that and hopefully hopefully somebody will put them to good use.
Thank you Curt, especially after your last thread here it is really cool and appreciated to see you giving something to the jagcommunity again.Well done.

[ovalbugmann]

Thank you curt! - that's very nice of you to put this stuff up for us to check out. I will be taking a look at it all. I'm glad you didn't trash all your Jaguar stuff in raging anger as you said you were going to do previously(whew! ) - someone can always use Jaguar informations.

Thanks Curt.
All for the Jag and a Jag for all.

[Curt Vendel]

I'm going to setup a Win98 machine next week and extract the Defnder 2K and Kasumi Ninja sources, so I'll put those up in October sometime...

BTW ---

Jagfiles-6.zip has some adult content related to American Hero in it, so be forewarned if you have younger Jagfans d/l'ing these files or you decide to sit down with your son or daughter and show them files relating to an older gaming system and you don't want to get caught off guard with the racy photo's

I predict that Jagfiles-6.zip will soon become the most-downloaded file in the whole collection.

Seriously, though, thanks for all your hard work in archiving this material and making it available to the public.

Heheh.. my points exactly!! I was just about to download that.

So... yeh Free Jag wanted to get this posted, but I think they were working on securing some server space to host of our work. Glad to see this posted though. Sweet!

Have a question about Tempest2KSources1-26-94.zip Some of the tracks in Tempest2KSources1-26-94/T2KMusic94/TEMPEST/MOD/ don't seem to be in the actual game or have I not played the game enough?

Well assassin of the future (who I guess you are not an assassin yet is that how that works?) what tracks did you notice that you had not seen before?

I'll have to listen again but there are at least 3. The wife is sleeping so I'll have to listen to them in the morning.

[108 Stars]

Very nice, too bad not everyone appreciates this.

[Zerosquare]

Future Assassin is right, there are some tunes which are not present in the game.
However, those who have the Tempset 2000 soundtrack CD which came with the JagCD know them already, as they are included on this CD.

Using the track names from the soundtrack CD, and AFAIK :

Tunes used in the game
Glide Control (Tune1.mod)
2000 Dub (Tune3.mod)
Mind's Eye (Tune4.mod)
Constructive Demolition (Tune5.mod)
Digital Terror (Tune7.mod)
Ultra Yak (Tune12.mod)
Title screen music (Tune13.mod) [This one isn't present on the soundtrack CD]

Unused tunes
Thermal Resolution (Tune2.mod)
Tracking Depth (Tune6.mod)
Future Tense (Tune8.mod)
Ease Yourself (Tune9.mod)
T2K (Tune10.mod)
Hyper Prism (Tune11.mod)

[Tyrant]

Wow that's going to take a long time to go through, but looks to be some absolute gems there, many thanks.

T2K (Tune10.mod)

this makes sense as these tunes are present in the root directory of T2K sources, while others are only in T2KMusic directory.
Files without extension (01 -> 30) seems to be samples if I understand correctly

After a quick eye on main source :
Waves forms are defined in yak.s : search for tags web1 to web37
and succession of levels is defined in tag romstart :
dc.l web5,web11,web1,web2,web9,web3,web12,web7,web13,web4,web14,web10,web15,web6,web16,web8
dc.l web5,web11,web1,web2,web9,web3,web18,web19,web20,web4,web14,web10,web17,web6,web16,web22
dc.l web24,web23,web27,web25,web21,web28,web29,web30,web32,web33,web34,web35,web36,web37,web26,web31

for example, web5 is circle web (as defined in comment)

I guess that if one is able to recompile T2K, he may be able to change web designs if he figures how they are defined though (basically, it seems to be list of x,y coordinates, just try to draw them on paper) ... or at least web succession definition...

You do realise most of this has been available for free and for ages too elsewhere right?
