TRESPASSER ULTIMATE MAP 2.4 BY ZANDOR 1999

This Trespasser Map is supposed to help people play and enjoy Trespasser even more. It's completely free to use, copy, change, add things and distribute.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

TITLE: TRESPASSER ULTIMATE MAP
FILE SIZE: 400 K (gif - by TSOrd)
CREATOR: ZANDOR
SOFTWARE: TRESPASSER, INTERNET EXPLORER 4.0, COREL DRAW 8 AND PHOTOSHOP 3.0
THE ZIP FILE CONTAINS: THIS README, THE COREL DRAW 8 FILE AND THE JPG FILE.

The final map has become too big, because of the large area covered by it. It had to be that way, because there's to much detailed data, in small places. Feel free to add more data to it, as you wish. I tried to make the best work possible, including ALL Dinosaurs, Main Buildings, Main Paths, and most objects that take part in the adventure and are required to accomplish the mission, Except for weapon positions, as they are too spread around. The demo level is also included, with its path and dinos.

CAUTION: this map is a spoiler, which means that if you do not want to be given clues to the game, do not use it!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW PRECISE IS THIS MAP?

As much as it can be. When you type the cheat code "LOC", your screen displays some info about your position and where you're facing at. Some day I decided to take note of all this data, and make a map with it. All I did was to play the game, from begining to end, and write down ALL the coordinates presented at waypoints, buildings, dinosaurs and everything that was relevant to the game itself. With this info in hands, I had to transpose it to a matrix. I entered all these numbers into Corel Draw. So, when the position was 321.1,547.4,50.0 - I would place a dot at coordinates x=32,1 mm - y=54,7 mm. Notice that I didn't take into consideration the last digit after the comma, because it wouldn't make any difference in a map that is so large.

NOTE: You'll notice that not all levels from the game start where the other left off. It's strange, and I didn't find a reason for that. It's known that due to the large area covered by the game, the developers have decided do divide it into sections that are loaded separately (the levels) and therefore it wasn't mandatory that all sections would have to be consecutive.

Maybe there were other inbetween levels that were removed before the game was released. That can be seen for the position of the demo level, that leads from level 4 to level 5, but is simply not present in the final version. Now, there's a gap between them. Also notice the distance between levels 2 and 3, and between levels 5 and 6. If you look at your Trespasser folder, at your hard disk or CD, you'll find the file li_pv_0.tga. This is one of the images that are used whenever a new level is being loaded. But this area is simply out of the game! Probably it belongs to one of the levels that were removed. It looks very similar to a path hole (pit) that exists in the demo level, after you take that road behind the T-Rex, except for the broken bridge and trees that do not exist in the demo level.

Remember that Hammond says in the game that they raised 7 T-Rexes, but you only find 6 of them? (I mean in the normal game path, because losts of other dinos can be found off the path). The 7th was probably the T-Rex found at demo level, that was removed. Who knows?

Anyway, I left all the positions as they are in the game, and this should be right, because, when you end level 2 for instance, you can't see the dry riverbed that shows at the start of level 3. But, when you finish level 3, you can see the city walls from level 4. Some levels were meant to be consecutives, and others not.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW DID YOU DRAW THE ISLAND SORNA'S CONTOUR? DID YOU CREAT IT?

Well, if you've played Trespasser, you might have seen a map at Hammond's office wall, in the city. That map is different from the "The Lost World" movie map. I even took a picture from my tv showing Isla Sorna from the movie. But then I gave up and began working on the contour found in Trespasser.

Well, the game designers decided to build the island based on Cocos Island, south from Costa Rica, and just ignored the Lost World movie island. The problem here is the norht-south direction of the island. If you press the button that makes Hammond speak about the foundation (it's just below the map on the wall) you'll hear him say it would be built at the SOUTH beach. But in the map, this beach is EAST. Other point that proves this map is weird: in the city, there's a map in the Operations Center that shows the NORTH gate, the EAST gate and the WEST gate. By watching this map, you'll see that Main Street heads from north to south, begining at Hammond's house and ending at the Operations Center.

Finally, as a point of reference, the Mountain Peak, the highest level in the whole island, is always towards north, except when you are exactly walking in the path around it's top, when it'll be south.

Even so, I finally decided to draw the map horizontaly, like it shows at Hammond's house. It feels better for the players. That done, besides the Playing Compass, I also included a "reference compass", that reads north and south the way Hammond talks about. And last but not least, I also added a compass based on the real Cocos Island position. That should read 10 degrees clock wise in relation to the playing compass. I also included in Isla Sorna the names of the most important geographic sites from Cocos, as both islands look exactly the same. This is meant to help people relate to a specific place just by simply using its name.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE NORTH AND SOUTH ARE?

Again, in the city, at the Operation Center, there's a map showing the city itself. There you can read about the north gate (near Hammond's house), the east gate (that leads you out) and the west gate. This was proof that Hammond's house is to the north, and the Operation Center is to the south. If you try walking at main street in the city, you'll notice that the bearings at the LOC info don't change. They stay the same (1.0,0.0) all the way going to the north gate. So I discovered that the 4 coordinates are:

1.0, 0.0 = NORTH
-1.0, 0.0 = SOUTH
0.0,-1.0 = EAST
0.0, 1.0 = WEST

With increments varying from 0.1 to .09. That means that each increment has a change of 5º degrees (45º divided by 9).

As I also decided to draw a Playing Compass, these coordinates should be:

0.0,-1.0 = NORTH
0.0, 1,0 = SOUTH
-1.0, 0.0 = EAST
1.0, 0.0 = WEST

It's exactly the same compass as above, but rotated 90 degrees CCW.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW DID YOU PLACE THE COORDINATES YOU FOUND INTO THE ISLAND CONTOUR?

Well, knowing the direction of north and south, first I had to position the whole coordinates in a way that MAIN STREET would be horizontal (west-east) with Hammond's house to the west and Operations Center to the east.

While I was placing the coordinates at Corel Draw, I was considering the 1st number to be axis X, and the second to be axis Y. Therefore, when I had finished, Main Street was in the oposite direction. So I rotated everything together 180 degrees. Then I had to position the points inside the island, maintaining the proportion and relative positions among them. So I tried to fit the points into the contour in a way that all "beaches" would be placed in the external perimeter of the island.

There are 4 places like this: the beach at the start, the little girl's beach (Cathy), the docks, and the sea at level 6. By fitting all this to the boundaries of the island, the map would be correct. And it worked!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT IS THE 3RD COORDINATE IN "POSITION"?

It refers to the Z coordinate (vertical position), how high you are in relation to sea level. This is something strange that I found in this game. Sea level should be considered 1... [TSOrd - Actually, Sea Level is conventionally 0, though in Trespasser it seems to be 1.5 for most of the levels] and that's what happens when you are at Cathy's beach. But... at the begining of the game, sea level is 15!!! [TSOrd - I'll bet a dozen of donuts and a six pack of Mountain Dew that this started as a typo for 1.5 and they discovered the error too late to fix it.] We all know that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are at different levels, but the same island shore? Strange, he he he.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT SCALE DID YOU USE? HOW DID YOU MEASURE THE ISLAND?

TRESPASSER MEASURE UNIT (TMU) EXPLAINED -

Well, first I have to say that in Trespasser's package they announce the game covers an area of 15 sq Kms. Well, this island is not THAT big. It is actually 6 sq Kms large (something less). The actual Cocos Island is 28 sq Kms large. And still the game path doesn't cover the whole area of the island, except if you try to go off the path.

To have an idea of distances and heights at Trespasser, I had to find something, some object, whose dimensions were known. So I used stairs steps.

At the end of level 1, there's a monorail station. When you are at ground level, the LOC info displays 43,3. After you go up the 15 steps, it displays 48,7. This means that in 15 steps, you moved 5,4 Trespasser Measure Units (TMU).

But my approach was not perfect, mostly because Trespasser's Development Team members were not very interested in being coherent with stair steps dimensions. Each building has
steps with different heights. So I had to take an average dimension.

I've measured 6 buildings steps and these are the results:

TMU Building
5,4 Rail Station
4.7 Church
4,8 Operations Center
4,1 Dam
3,7 Muldoon's House [TSOrd - Muldoon's house is actually
an old plantation house and not really
Muldoon's house. I have a WAV file
from the game to prove this. ]


3,5 Summit
-----------------------
4.4 Average
These TMU values always refer to 15 steps, though you may find only 10 at Ops center (I made the calculations for 15). It's known that the technical architecture dimension for 15 steps (the distance to take from one floor to another) equals to 2,5 m.

So, If 2,5m = 4,4 TMU, then 1m = 1,76 TMU

Therefore, each 1,76 TMU you move ahead, you are actually moving 1 m. Now placing this in the map was something different. As I am considering 345,1 TMUs to be 34,5 mm in my map, 1,76 TMUs becomes 0,176 mm. As 0,176 mm is very very very small, I used 17,6 cm for every 1 Km of island. This is the main scale used in the map for distances and heights. I also included the scale for Cocos Island, just below Trespasser's scale. The Cocos scale was taken from real maps found on the web, and by placing the image the same size as my drawing, then capturing the scale size information.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

The map has become really large. That's because there's too much info the be placed in it. To make it available through the internet, I had to compress it in JPG with as little quality loss as possible. I didn't want to compress it more because it would get difficult to read the little text.

I also zoomed in at the CITY and SUMMIT areas, as they are too small and full of objects and details, so I placed a detailed zoomed circle with these two parts inside.

I hope this map will be useful, and you are free to add, remove, change anything you like, to make it suit your needs.

Regards,
Zandor.

VERSION PROGRESS:

06.18.99 - Version 0.0 - Hehehe, the postman leaves the Trespasser package at my mail box!

08.09.99 - Version 1.0 - I decided to take note of the coordinates. Takes a long time!

08.12.99 - Version 1.1 - I enter the data from the whole game into Corel Draw. The path now exists, and it's cool to see how it goes around.

08.13.99 - Version 1.2 - I develop the 1st Trespasser Compass, with its directions.

08.14.99 - Version 1.3 - Saturday, I'm watching The Lost World, and remember that there's a scene where Isla Sorna's map appears. So I take a picture from the tv screen, and trace the contour at Corel Draw. Now the map coordinates are into position. I also calculate the Trespasser Measure Unit, and build a grid for easy locating using the map.

08.16.99 - Version 1.4 - I put colors in the map, and convert it to JPG to see if its data will be visible after compression. I also print it at A2 size (quite large) to correct details.

08.21.99 - Version 1.5 - I divide the drawing in layers, so that they are easily edited. I post a message at IngenNet, announcing the map, if people are interested.

08.28.99 - Version 2.0 - Everything changed! I decided that the map contour would not be the one from the movie. If the game developers have designed a new map, I'll use it. So now,
I take a snapshot from the game, and trace the new contour. Then I place the coordinates in the map, so that beaches fit. Done. Place colors and all the data that was used in the old map and can be used here are transposed. I also included the mountains elevations, taken from the 3rd digit of LOC Code, dividing areas by color.

08.29.99 - Version 2.1 - Added demo level coordinates.

08.29.99 - Version 2.2 - Found demo's "Off The Path" and added demo level coordinates beyond the exit gate and T-Rex spot. (The 2nd OTP I found by myself!)

08.30.99 - Version 2.3 - Rotated map for general people use. Included surrounding islands, and geographical names for the places in the island, with real data taken from Cocos Island, south of Costa Rica, the one the game and the movie are based on.

08.31.99 - Version 2.4 - Added "Out Of Bounds" Exits coordinates (Thanks to Charles Hughes, from Trespasser Secrets*), including the one in the demo level. Calculated the new Trespasser Measure Unit, updating the scale used.

09.11.1999 - Version 2.4.1 - Added new OOB for Level 6, changed name "Muldoon's House" on Level 2 to "Plantation House". (updated by TSOrd)

* You can find excellent data at "Trespasser Secrets", trespassersecrets.com with all needed info to find the "Out of Bounds" exits easier, including full coordinates and hints!
---------------------------

COORDINATES:

THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL COORDINATES I FOUND IN THE GAME, AND TRANSPOSED TO THE COREL DRAW MATRIX:

COORDINATES ARE X,Y,Z (THEY STAND FOR HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL AND HEIGHT).

THESE COORDINATES ARE THE BLACK DOTS THAT APPEAR IN THE MAP, AND REPRESENT THE "BASIC" PATH YOU NEED TO FOLLOW TO GET TO THE END OF THE GAME. THE COORDINATES TO PLACES AND SITES THAT ARE NOT ALONG THE WAY OF THE "MAIN" PATH ARE NOT LISTED HERE, AS WELL AS SOME DINOS THAT ARE NEAR BUT NOT EXACTLY "IN" THE PATHWAY. REMEMBER THAT THESE SITES AND DINOS ARE ALL REPRESENTED IN THE MAP, THEY SIMPLY DON'T APPEAR IN THIS LIST HERE. THIS PATH IS WHAT I CALL THE BASIC ONE. YOU KNOW THAT TRESPASSER'S ENGINE ALLOWS YOU TO GO "ALMOST" ANYWHERE, SO YOU MAY FIND BETTER WAYS TO GET TO THE END.

Tools And Compatibility Patches
Written on April 1, 2019 at 6:45 pm, by tatu



Compatibility Patches

machf have been busy again working on getting the levels from the early Trespasser builds to work with the retail engine. He has now fixed the .scn and .grf file from the early levels to properly work with the retail engine (except for some issues with Build 22’s IJ and TestScene level (for now)). You will still require to convert the .pid/.swp using the Pid reWrite tool(see below) along with the TPAupdate tool (see below) in order to fully experience the levels.

These patches can be found in our Patches download section. Please see the description of the downloads for information to get them working properly.


fixOcclusion

From the description:

“fixOcclusion is a simple drag-and-drop utility based on some of the functionality from the earlier pidRewrite tool. Its purpose is to fix the occlusion settings in early v130 pid’s (basically, the ones from Build 55) so that they are fuly compatible with later ones and can be properly viewed in TresEd. Just place the executable in the same folder as the Build 55 *.PID files, then drag an drop on top of it each .PID file you want to convert. The original ones will be saved with a “.bak” extension, just in case.”

This tool will fix the issue where TresEd won’t recognize occlusion objects as occlusions due to difference in the early v130 pid’s found in Build 55. You can found the tools in our Tools download section on the left or download it here: fixOcclusion Download

New TPA Tools And Updated Sound Name Listings
Written on March 24, 2019 at 8:25 am, by tatu



TPAupdate

TPAupdate is a simple drag-and-drop tool to convert early TPA files (v130 and v140) to ones working with the engine from the release (v150). The Readme say:

“This is a small program that updates the old version (v130 and v140) TPA files contained in earlier Trespasser builds, like Build 22 (E3 demo), Build 32 (PC Gamer demo) and Build 55, making a new version (v150) compatible with the engine from the Trespasser release (Builds 116 and 117).”


You can download it here: TPAupdate Download


TPA Player

This new TPA Player version now allows you to play any official TPA from any of the builds (22-117) we currently have.

You can download it here: TPA Player v4.0.9.5


Updated Sound Name Listings

machf have updated his Sounds Name Listings to include all the known ones. Currently there are around 50 sound names still to be discovered across all our current builds.

You can find these in our Documents section.


Draconisaurus Stop-Motion Videos

Last year our forum member Draconisaurus have done a few really cool stop-motion videos with dinosaurs in them. They are worth checking out and you can find them at his YouTube channel.

Pid reWrite And Canopy Valley
Written on March 13, 2019 at 3:06 pm, by tatu



Pid reWrite

For the past few weeks Rebel and machf have worked on a simple drag-and-drop tool to allow anyone to easily convert early v120 Pid’s into v130 ones (used by retail).

This way you are able to view the early levels from the E3 build (Build 22) and PCGamer build (Build 32) in TresEd in their original form. Unless you are able to run the early builds, this is an amazing utility. You can find it in our Downloads/Tools section or download it here: Pid reWrite Download


Canopy Valley




Draco thought the modding community had been quiet for a while so he fixed up one of his de-stress levels and put it up for release:

“Canopy Valley is a brief modding project of mind done mainly as stress-relief – a not-too-complex-mod with an assortment of terrain textures, models, and dinosaurs. The player gets to roam around a canopied forest landscape and hunt dinosaurs (sorry, no helicopters). Enjoy!”

Canopy Valley can be found in the Downloads/Levels section or downloaded here: Canopy Valley Download

JURASSIC TIME: The Preserved Hammond Recordings
Written on December 26, 2018 at 1:49 am, by scallenger






jurassictime.trescom.org/hammondaudiorecordings.html


Presented for the first time are the entire available recordings of Richard Attenborough’s performance of John Parker Hammond from the DreamWorks Interactive PC Game Trespasser- The Lost World: Jurassic Park. These were the same files featured in Jurassic Time: The Memoir Of John Parker Hammond- The Anniversary Edition, an audiobook-style presentation that included music from the game edited to carry the story. Most of the files are sourced from an early alpha version of the game that featured the best quality available. The retail version of the game featured degraded quality and dreamlike echo effects on the voice, whereas these are mostly the untouched recordings with fantastic sound. Some of the dialogue remains edited, in stereo, with minor atmospheric effects. A set of dialogue that reads an old diary entry sadly remains in intentionally degraded quality. Also included are a few alternate versions of the dialogue and some additional dialogue selected from the DreamWorks Interactive PC Game Chaos Island- The Lost World: Jurassic Park that is hard to come by (and sadly in bad quality). The files are all organized in folders in the order done for The Anniversary Edition. It should be noted that in the game files themselves there was no storytelling order at all; just a scattered, incoherent mess. After over a decade of different versions of The Memoir, I decided it was finally time to have the recordings themselves easily accessible. While I still firmly believe the The Anniversary Edition is the best way to experience Hammond’s story, I know these files have been long-requested. So here they are; preserved for all time.

Happy 20th Anniversary Trespasser!
Written on October 27, 2018 at 7:30 pm, by tatu



October 28, 1998 – Trespasser is released in stores around the world.

Trespasser ended up being criticized and sold very few copies, even being called worst game of the year. While some see the game as a failure, we the community do not. Many people have come and gone during the years, spreading the love of the game. Even 20 years after release the community is standing strong. During our existence we have created tons of content for the game – levels, models, fan fiction and several tools to aid us in modifying the game and create new content for it. A patch called CE Patch brought us better modern OS support among other cool contents to inspire people to create content for the game many years to come.


It is not only user made content the community have. During the years we have received original Trespasser content, including original documents, voiceover scripts, assets and early game builds, including long lost (cut) levels as Pine Valley and Plantation House.


For this anniversary we have some fun releases to share:


Update: Scallenger have released an Anniversary Edition of his Jurassic Time book, updated with some fantastic new art. You get find it on his Jurassic Time page.


Twitter Tag

Join us to spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #Trespasser20yrs to share your story, memory, screenshots or other Trespasser related thing to the world. This one was suggested by no other than the Trespasser developer Rolf Mohr 🙂


20th Anniversary Community Level




The most important content for Trespasser’s 20th anniversary is this 20th anniversary community level. The community have manage to work together and created this amazing piece of level. It can be played from start to finish and while it might contain some unpolished parts, it is the first time in many years the community have come together to work on a level. Give it a try and have fun! If used with the CE patch, you will get an awesome custom looking sky!


The level can be found in our levels section or downloaded here: Tres20_v0-3-4_Drac.rar (27.9 MB)


Rebel’s Crossbow Contest

For the 20th Anniversary Rebel did some cool work making a working crossbow. Of course this means we will have a contest. While we are unsure of any prices it will mainly be for fun and possibly some fun special forum role (if not already a member, join our forum!! 😉 ). There are both a standalone package using the ATX patch and a version of the CE patch made by TheIdiot. Ready, aim, fire! Do not cheat 😉 Take a screenshot and share your result on our forum!


You can find the standalone ATX package here: CrossBow_ATXPackage.zip (16.9 MB)

You can find the CE package here: CrossBow_CEPackage.zip (1.6 MB)


Post your scores at our forum: CrossBow Score Topic


Trespasser Millennium

Over the years we have seen a few modding suites for Trespasser containing all the required tools to create your own levels for the game. First we had Trespasser CE (not to be confused with the CE Patch), and then we had Trespasser Twilight. Now we have a new, update modding suite – Trespasser Millennium.


You can find it in out tools section or download it here: Tres_Millennium.7z (253.7 MB)


New Trespasser Fan Site

This was supposed to be a news post back in April but for whatever reason it was left as a draft.


It is not common these days. In fact, it is a rarity. It’s been a very long time since anyone created their own fan site for this game however, our forum member Melber have made one.


The website is still under construction, but give it all your support!


www.shenlor.wgz.cz/


TI’s Mega Jungle

For a few years now TheIdiot have released some versions of his Mega Jungle, a resource level that contain new content that other people can use in their levels. For the 20th anniversary, version 1.5 have been released, including “new usable Hawaiian Palms as well as the allosaurus I teased a while ago, plus a brand-new (but unfinished) willow tree, which I intend to eventually be part of a swamp-themed set of foliage. Additionally, the evergreens are now lower-poly so hopefully they won’t destroy your performance so much.”.


You can find the download in our editing section or download it here: TIMegaJungle_V0.5.zip (23.7 MB)


TI’s Trespasser Weapon Sound Overhaul

A long time ago TheIdiot did a weapon sound overhaul mod for an unknown user and have now decided to release it to the public. This can be used with ATX and CE, please see their documentation on how to use custom made TPA files.


You can find it in our editing section or download it here: WeaponSoundOverhaulTPA.zip (2.5 MB)


TPA Player

Not to be confused with TPA Reader, TPA Player is what its name suggest – a TPA player. It will allow you to play Trespasser TPA files like a small media player. A simple utility for anyone who only wants to listen through the audio without export it.


Found in our tools section or here: tpa_player_1.5_setup.zip (555.2 KB)

Site and forum issues!
Written on April 7, 2018 at 8:40 pm, by tatu



For the past few weeks we’ve had some experienced some issues with the site and forum, mainly were it is impossible to upload files over 1 MB. This apply to both regular members and the staff. This means it can be difficult to attach files to your forum post or that we can’t upload any new files to the site at the moment.


Another very important issue found out recently is that you will get an error if trying to download any file from our download section. If you are in a hurry or desperate want any file, feel free to ask on the forum and we will make sure to help you out!


Please have patience as these issues (and any other we will find) get sorted out.


EDIT: These issues have been fixed. Happy download!

Jurassic Time Hammond Memoir Anniversary Edition
Written on December 25, 2017 at 11:16 am, by scallenger






“Jurassic Time” celebrates its 10th Anniversary of the “Jurassic Time: The Memoir Of John Park Hammond” with an updated video edition.


Experience Richard Attenborough’s masterful, nearly-lost performance of John Parker Hammond: the tragic man whose dream of bringing dinosaurs back to life came true; before being swiftly ended. Cobbled from the ill-fated Trespasser- The Lost World: Jurassic Park PC Game, and featuring amazing music by Bill Brown; you’ll feel like you’re right beside Hammond as he makes his journey across Isla Sorna, playing “God” in the laboratory, and recounting how he felt after the fateful incident at Isla Nublar. It’s a compelling and introspective tale you will never find in the novels or films.


In this special video presentation of the “Anniversary Edition”, with the immense artistic talents of Felipe Humboldt, Hammond’s words are heard against fantastic sketches that illustrate his entire story! In addition, there are numerous stills from Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park tinted and framed deliberately for dramatic effect. We “spared no expense”!


What also sets this edition apart from all that have come before is incredibly substantial. Thanks to the discovery of a source that contained Attenborough’s recordings; without its misty “echo/memory effects” that plagued the original and beta game files, we can now hear the vocal performance clearly for the very first time. After a decade of prior editions, and almost two decades hearing it this way straight from the game itself; this is an important milestone in perserving this experience.


The entire Hammond Memoir has been rebuilt from the ground up in order to take complete advantage of this fantastic find. Those familiar with previous editions and the game will find the clarity of Attenborough’s delivery practically startling at first. To focus on the voice, no additional sound effects were included except in two brief moments. However, there are some lines of dialogue where the sound effects mixed in by the game designers are still left in; but now in much better quality. You’ll also discover newly-created additional tracks that precede and conclude the entire program.


For an audio-only version of this entire program, plus much more, visit the website:

Fall Lodge and other misc news!
Written on November 11, 2017 at 7:39 pm, by tatu



Welcome, to another program of TresCom News!


Fall Lodge Release




There might have been an absence of news post but surely there have not been an absence of work in the community.


Fall Lodge is a level with a small twist made by the community member Draconisaurus, crated for Halloween 2017. The level itself is not your typical Trespasser level. Its main focus is its type of mini game. In this level your goal is to gain as high score as you possibly could by killing dinosaurs. As the level title suggest, it is set in a fall theme and possibly the first Trespasser mod to be released in this theme.


Grab it now and get your own high-score. We want to hear all about it in the original forum post that you can find here.


Grab the level in our download section or here: Fall Lodge Download


In other news…

The Cutting Room Floor

Our member Glitchhunter have over the past months working a lot with gathering all the information of early Trespasser information onto the Cutting Room Floor site. He has done some amazing work so far and I suggest you all to check it out.

Trespasser Cutting Room Floor Page.

Trespasser Cutting Room Floor Proto Page.


Trespasser Online Role-playing Game

I believe this is worth mentioning as well. Over the past year, members over at our forum have played their own online role-playing game with Trespasser. It is pretty popular among some of them and I also suggest you to check this out and join in over here.


Return to Jurassic Park is still alive!

Our community member TheIdiot have worked a lot over the years with his RTJP mod. Late last year he went into the final stages of his project and are working hard on getting the first level finished, titled “RTJP~Helipad”. Be sure to check out his project here and tell him what you think so far! 🙂

Draco’s Plains Release
Written on May 29, 2017 at 4:51 pm, by tatu



Many years ago, the community received a bunch of official Trespasser assets. Among these files were an early version of Plains in 3ds Max format. Sadly this file only had foliage and the Block House, but not terrain, or textures.


The last few weeks, our forum member Draconisaurus have worked hard to make a terrain based on the height of the objects found in this 3ds Max scene. The result is really nice and it gives you an insight of what the level might have been at one point.

Written on May 20, 2017 at 5:02 pm, by tatu



Intruder: Isla Sorna Demo

Some of you might remember Deagles4life’s work on remaking Trespasser in the Unity engine. He made some really nice progress and have now released a new Demo for it. The Demo can be downloaded from below.


DOWNLOAD


“The download contains both version 2 and version 3 which are listed as v.2 and v.3”.


You can follow his progress on his Facebook page.

You can also find the original release post in this forum post.


Level download section updated!

Out download section for levels have been increased with a lot of new (old) levels. It contains various work made in the past. Some have been released before and some don’t. Machf have done great work going though his files to find old and lost fan levels.


As our download section have started to increase, work as began to make new subcategories for easier navigation. Updates on this to come.

Trespasser Script Reference
Last update: 09/21/2019 11:13:01
This document describes the classes and values of the scripting used by Trespasser. The syntax of the script is that used by TresEd, the Trespasser Level Editor.

Script Reference:
General Script Classes
Trigger Classes
Trigger Actions

Notes:
Default value "none" means value is optional and only used if specified.
A '$' object is one whose name begins with '$' and is used by the physics engine.
If restrictions (eg. "Named object must exist") are not honored, Trespasser may behave oddly or crash.
If a value is listed as "Must specify", Trespasser may behave oddly or crash if the value is not specified.
Disclaimer: This page is work in progress, is far from complete, and has not been thoroughly checked so use it just as a guide.

General Script Classes and Values
Trespasser recognizes the following data types:

bool
A boolean logic state, can be either true or false
char
A single text character in ASCII, probably. Uses a single byte? Not used in any level.
int
An integer numerical value, stored in four bytes
float
A floating-point numerical value, stored as four bytes too.
string
A sequence of characters ending with a null character.
object
A structure that engulfs values of other types (including other objects). TresEd calls it "group", but internally, the Trespasser executables use "object". Throughout this document, "group" is used, until a newer version of TresEd adds support for "object" while keeping "group" for backwards compatibility.
Values are case sensitive and strongly typed. This means that if you type "moveable" instead of "Moveable" or "int Frame" instead of "float Frame", Trespasser will ignore the value. Where the default value is listed as "must specify", Trespasser may behave badly or even crash if the value is not specified.

The Class value determines the type of object, and all objects should specify it.

Type Name Default Description
string Class "CInstance" Class of object, described below.
Example:

group MyTerrainTexture = {
string Class = "CTerrainObj"
int Height = 1
string SoundMaterial = "Grass"
}
Classes:
AI Command
CAnimal
CBackdrop
CEntityAttached
CEntityWater
CGun
CHitSpang
CInstance
CJoint
CLightDirectional
CMagnet or MasterMagnet
SlaveMagnet
CSocket
CMuzzleFlash
CParticles
CSky
CSubsystem
CTerrainObj
CTest
CWaterDisturbance or Disturbance
Player
Player Settings
Settings
Teleport
Marker
TerrainPlacement
<no Class specified>
IGNORE
See also Trigger classes

Possible classes, with unknown usage (not used in original levels): CHitSpang, CInput, CSocket, Default, Marker, TerrainExtent, CTest, CSubsystem.

AI Command
Specifies the sounds to use for CAnimals. See a level for examples.

Type Name Default Description
int Dinosaur must specify Indicates which dinosaur species these vocals are for.
0 = Raptor

float Open = 0.1
float Close = 0.2
}
}
Vocal values are as follows: 0=Pain, 1=Call, 2=Roar, 3=Snarl, 4=Stalk, 5=Whimper, 6=Dying, 7=Attack, 8=Bite, 9=Chew, 10=Drink, 11=Swallow, 12=Sniff, 13=Tear

CAnimal

float MoveableMass 0.5 The maximum mass an object can have for the AI to move it, from 0.0 to 1.0. See AIMass.
float Speed unknown How fast the AI moves.
float Mouth unknown Not sure yet whether it's how fast the AI opens and closes its mouth, or how wide it does. Need some more tests.
Physics
string Type must specify Arrangement of physics boxes:
"Trike" = Four legged creature
"Raptor" = Two legged creature
"TRex" = Two legged creature, seems to be the same as Raptor
Possibly it also defines the basic skeleton arrangement for the dino (number of joints and parent/child relationships between them), with any additional joints being defined based on the NumJoints, NumDoubleJoints and related values like Ratio and RotationRatio (see).
int PVA must specify Physics Vertex Assignment. Always -2 in original levels, meaning "read from t-scripts". At some point the old meshes like the Green Rex may have used other values for predefined assignments for each one, but that would prevent addition of new dinosaurs unless they had exactly the same arrangement of triangles and vertices.
float WakeUp 30.0 Distance from the player at which the physics of the animal are activated.
float Sleep 30.0 Distance from the player at which the physics of the animal are deactivated. Sleep >= WakeUp
string Head must specify Physics object used for collisions. (Named '$' object must exist.)
string Neck must specify Physics object used for collisions. Posssibly meant at one time for Brachiosaurus? (Named '$' object must exist.)
string Body must specify Physics object used for collisions. (Named '$' object must exist.)
string Tail must specify Physics object used for collisions. (Named '$' object must exist.)
string Foot, LeftFoot, RightFoot,
LeftRearFoot, RightRearFoot unknown Physics objects used for collisions. In the original levels these are not set - Trespasser uses default foot models. They can be set, though. For two-legged creatures, use "Foot" for the right foot, and "LeftFoot" for the left one. For four-legged creatures, use "Foot" for the right rear foot, "LeftRearFoot" for the left one, and "RightFoot" and "LeftFoot" for both front feet. (Named '$' objects must exist.)
int NumJoints must specify Number of joints (not including double joints). If there are more than the basic number defined by the Type parameter (21 for bipeds, 29 for quadrupeds), the new ones may stay in a fixed position relative to the "hip" bone. See CJoint .
int NumDoubleJoints must specify Number of interpolated joints. They never include any of the basic bones defined by the Type parameter. These don't stay fixed but instead move together with the bones between which they have been interpolated according to the corresponding parameters. See CJoint .
bool ReverseKnees false If set to true, the knees will bend the other way in quadrupeds.
Pathfinding
bool TerrainPathfinding true If true, AI will use pathfinding to move around the terrain. Set to false for dinos in difficult places (see raptor at Harbor in Lab level, Rexes and Para outside Town, Alberto and Rex in Ascent or Raptors in Summit) so that they only guide themselves by AI boxes instead.
float SenseTerrain unknown Maximum distance at which AI will sense the terrain around for pathfinding calculations.
float SenseObjects unknown Maximum distance at which AI will sense objects around for pathfinding calculations.
float SenseAnimates unknown Maximum distance at which AI will sense other animates around for pathfinding calculations.
int MaxNodes must specify Maximum number of pathfinding nodes the AI can "learn"/store.
float MaxPathLength unknown Maximum distance at which AI will perform pathfinding calculations.
float NodesPerSecond unknown How many pathfinding nodes the AI calculates per second.
float TimeToForgetNode unknown How long the AI remembers a node without using it.
float TimeToForgetNode unknown How long the AI remembers anything it's "seen" (sensed) after not seeing it anymore.
int MaxAStarSteps must specify Maximum number of steps the AI will take while pathfinding?
Emotions
float Fear 0.2 Starting value for dinosaur's fear. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. 0.0 = fearless, 1.0 = panic attack
float Love 0.2 Starting value for dinosaur's love. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. 0.0 = no affection for anything, 1.0 = full of love
float Anger 0.2 Starting value for dinosaur's anger. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. 0.0 = at peace with the world, 1.0 = really angry
float Curiosity 0.2 Starting value for dinosaur's curiosity. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. 0.0 = not interested in anything, 1.0 = would be dead if it were a cat
float Hunger 0.5 Starting value for dinosaur's hunger. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. 0.0 = won't eat, 1.0 = will eat anything in sight
float Thirst 0.5 Starting value for dinosaur's thirst. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. 0.0 = won't drink, 1.0 = until the last drop
float Fatigue 0.0 Starting value for dinosaur's fatigue. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. Decreases slowly with time. 0.0 = full of vitality, 1.0 = about to drop on the floor
float Pain 0.0 Starting value for dinosaur's pain. Valid range is 0.0-1.0. Decreases quickly with time. 0.0 = nothing to care about, 1.0 = agonizing in pain

CBackdrop
Used in original levels to represent Mt. Watson from great distances, either when terrain is too distant to be rendered or does not extend far enough to have it included. CBackdrop is excluded from the normal render-distance restriction for visible models in Trespasser, where the mesh begins to disappear at a certain range, and as such will be viewable in full quality across any ingame distance. CBackdrop is also excluded from Occlusion objects. In the original levels, the CBackdrop always takes on the color of the level's fog setting. New CBackdrop objects are colored black when within a certain viewing distance, for uknown reasons. They can sometimes take on the level's fog color when far enough away. CBackdrop objects cannot use textures, however if one is textured, it will take on an average color of the texture rather than black in the afore mentioned circumstances. CBackdrop meshes copied in TresEd from other CBackdrop meshes can appear as gray-textureless rather than black unless reimported, suggesting lighting settings used by GeomAdd are required for CBackdrop to work properly and would also be why new CBackdrop objects do not work like those in the original levels. No original instances contain other values, just "string Class = "CBackdrop"". Initialized as standard instance (may have different function in-game).


CEntityAttached
Pretty much like a CInstance, but has a "string Target" value, which is the object it is attached to. Beware, if it's tangible and it's colliding with the "parent" object, it will attempt to "free" itself.


CEntityWater
Ripples happen on water entities when objects collide with it. See also CWaterDisturbance.

Type Name Default Description
float ResolutionRatio 1.0 Optional. One original level has this as 2.0, the others do not specify it. Range is 0.0 to 2.0? Specifies scales of ripples on water.
string SoundMaterial none Optional. For the few original levels that have this, it is "Water".

CGun
See a level for examples..

Type Name Default Description
string MFlashObject0, MFlashObject1, ... MFlashObject9 must specify CMuzzleFlash for gun (Named object must exist.)
string MFlashOrg must specify Origin for CMuzzleFlash animations. The animations will be pointed towards the gun's positive Y-axis, regardless of the MFlashOrg $object's orientation. (Named $object must exist.)
bool RandomRotate false? If true, CMuzzleFlash animations will rotate around Y-axis while firing.
float MFlashDuration none Duration of the CMuzzleFlash animations. Usually set to 0.0
bool AutoFire false? If true, gun is automatic and will use both Sample and RingSample.
string Sample must specify Name of sound effect from Effects.tpa to play for every shot or burst (for guns with AutoFire set to true) fired.
string RingSample must specify Name of sound effect from Effects.tpa to play at the end of every burst fired (for guns with AutoFire set to true only).
string EmptyClipSample must specify Name of sound effect from Effects.tpa to play for after all ammo has been expended.
string SoundMaterial must specify There are two specific sound materials designed to be used by guns, appropiately named "Pistol" and "Rifle".
string RecoilOrg must specify Origin of the gun's RecoilForce, applied in the direction of the positive Y-axis of the $object. Named $object must exist.
float RecoilForce must specify Amount of recoil applied each time the gun is fired.
string Barrel must specify Origin of the gun's firepower (Push). Shots will be fired along the gun's positive Y-axis from this point, regardless of the Barrel $object's orientation. Named $object must exist.
float Push must specify Amount of force with which a shot fired from the gun hits its target. Negative values can be used to "attract" objects.
float Kick must specify ?
float Damage must specify Amount of damage caused by a shot fired from the gun upon hitting a CAnimal or Player. Value isn't affected by Scale parameter.
float DamageMultiplier must specify Damage caused by a gun when used to hit a CAnimal or Player. Since on guns "Damage" is used for the bullets, this was needed for the actual gun's damage.
float TranqDamage must specify Amount of tranquilizer "damage" caused by a shot fired from the gun upon hitting a CAnimal or Player. Value isn't affected by Scale parameter.
float Range must specify Maximum range at which a shot fired from the gun is able to hit its intended target. Value is affected by Scale parameter (guns were designed to be 2.0m long and appropiately reduced by applying a Scale parameter between 0.0 and 1.0), so often it's higher than the real-life range to compensate.
float WakeUp must specify Range at which an AI is alerted by a shot fired from the gun. Silenced guns and tranq guns have far smaller values than the rest.
float ROF must specify Rate of fire, how quickly the ammo is spent, in shots per second.
int MaxAmmo must specify Maximum number of rounds the gun can be loaded with.
int Ammo must specify Number of rounds the gun has when you pick it up. If not specified, gun is assumed to have MaxAmmo rounds.
bool AltAmmoCount false Enables the usage of "alternate" ammo counting by the player (giving out expressions like "It's half gone." instead of actually saying how much ammo is left). Weapons with an ammo load over 30 need the bool AltAmmoCount = true parameter added, otherwise you won't get any ammo count until it's down to 30. If you haven't specified an Ammo value and the MaxAmmo value is over 100, even with this parameter, you won't get a proper count, you'll get "almost out" and "half full" notifications when it's not the case yet. To prevent that, you must have set the Ammo value properly.
Other possible values: Kick

CHitSpang
Is not implemented in executable (no initialization function). However, there seem to be some properties related to it (like SpangCount).

Type Name Default Description
string A00, A01, ... must specify SoundMaterials for which the effect is applied. If none is listed, this the default HitSpang.
int SpangCount unknown Maximum number of spangs the effect uses at the same time.
float MinScale unknown Scale factor for minimum size of each spang.
float MaxScale unknown Scale factor for maximum size of each spang. Actual scale will be a random value such that MinScale <= Scale <= MaxScale.
float Decay unknown How much the scale decays in 1 second, in %. 100 means in 1s it has already disappeared. Can take positive or negative numbers.
float ScaleLimit unknown Maximum scale the spangles can take before disappearing. Used for when they grow larger instead of decaying.
At some point, it was used to make the "hit spangle" effects when a gun's bullet hit different materials, in a way somewhat similar to the muzzle flashes, but apparently, with the addition of particles, it was dropped.

Example:

group FMFHitSpangDefault00-00 = {
string Class = "CHitSpang"
bool Shadow = false
int Normals = 2
int SpangCount = 8
float MinScale = 0.100000
float MaxScale = 0.100000
float Decay = -300.000000
float ScaleLimit = 0.400000
}

group FMFHitSpangChips00-00 = {
string Class = "CHitSpang"
bool Shadow = false
int Normals = 2
int SpangCount = 8
float MinScale = 0.100000
float MaxScale = 0.100000
float Decay = -250.000000
float ScaleLimit = 0.700000
string A00 = "Terrain - Gravel"
string A01 = "Terrain - Wood Loose"
string A02 = "Terrain - Dirt"
string A03 = "Log 1"
string A04 = "Log 2"
}
CInstance
General object in world. See also the trigger actions "CAnimateTextureAction", "CSetPhysicsAction", and "CSubstituteMeshAction".

Type Name Default Description
Misc
bool AI true If true, object is considered in calculations for pathfinding, if false, object is ignored. If true and a dino has ActGetOut=true, the dino won't go into this bounding volume. I think the default value of AI is true if object is Visible, and false if it has Visible=false.
bool Climb false If true, dinos can step over object. AI must be set to true in order for it to work.
float AIMass unknown How much mass the AI thinks this object has. Used together with the MoveableMass parameter in animates. Used in Anne and dinos.
int AIType unknown What AI sees this object as:
0 = don't care
1 = unknown
2 = animal (dinosaur)
3 = meat (carnivore food)
4 = grass (herbivore food)
5 = human (Anne)
6 = node hint (for pathfinding)
7 = water (both for herbivores and carnivores)
float Damage 1.0 Base value for calculating damage caused by an object to Anne or CAnimals in collisions. Set it to 0.0 if you want it to cause no damage at all.
float Armour 1.0 In physics boxes for CAnimals or Player, factor for calculating how much the HitPoints are to be decreased when sustaining damage. Set it to 0.0 if you want it not to receive any damage at all.
HitPoints = HitPoints - $Object_Armour * Weapon_Damage
float Height unknown Use if Planted=true. See Planted for more info.
bool Planted false Displaces the vertices of a mesh more than the specified Height value below its center onto the terrain. Used for certain tree models in original levels. One of its intended purposes is likely to prevent underground portions of the trees from casting shadows on the terrain.
string Mesh none Use mesh of given object instead of own mesh.
string Physics none Use physics properties of given object instead of own ones.
string SoundMaterial none Used for determining sound effect(s) played when object collides with another, looking both soundmaterials up in the Foley table. The same strings can be used by CCollisionTrigger, and to define custom particle effects (see CParticles).
bool Merge true ? Possibly a value exported from 3DS MAX (need to check).
bool Split true ? Possibly a value exported from 3DS MAX (need to check).
bool Wrap true ? Possibly a value exported from 3DS MAX (need to check).
Rendering
int AlphaChannel none 0,1,8 in original levels. Make object transparent, according to predefined settings. See Settings for more info. Used by LightBeam in testscene, and also by many triggers.
bool AlwaysFace false True to create a 'billboard'. Rotates around (world) Z-axis (object's Z-axis is aligned with the world's), Y-axis of object faces viewer.
bool Bumpmaps unknown ? Ignored if all textures are 8bit. Ignored completely?
float Bumpiness unknown How bumpy are unspecified bumpmaps (normal maps).
bool Curved false True for curved bumpmaps (normal maps).
float Diffuse 1.0 Amount of diffuse lighting.
WARNING: If this value is changed, Trespasser won't load the level unless the PID is updated. This is because the Diffuse value is used in the hash function that converts texture names in the GRF with texture IDs in the PID.
float Emissive 0.0 Emissive lighting parameter, often used by billboards and detail objects that are Unlit.
bool MipMap true Used during level creation, unclear whether used by engine. Specifies whether mipmaps are to be generated and used for the textures of this mesh. If true, only the smallest mipmap is permanently in memory. If false, the whole texture always resides in memory, so use with care. Must be false for CSky, and perhaps TerrainPlacement.
int Normals unknown (does this work? perhaps only used during level creation) Which sort of face normals to use.
0 = Use vertex normals?
1 = Use face normals?
2 = ? (used on Anne, GoldBar on JR)
3 = ? (used on GoldBar in TestScene)
bool Reflect unknown ? Only used on GoldBar (in jr?)
bool Refract unknown ? Only used on GoldBar (in jr?) (mistyped with lowercase 'r')
float RefractIndex unknown ? Only used on GoldBar (=1.1, in jr?)
float Specular 0.0 1.1 to 1.9 in original levels.
float SpecularAngle unknown 0.2 to 37 in original levels.
bool Shadow true If true cast shadow onto terrain.
bool Unlit false If true don't apply diffuse light (nor ambient as well?) to this object. Will usually specify Emissive=1.0 in this case.
bool Visible true If true object can be seen. (Can be used if it's a CInstance, CAnimal, or if it has no valuetable entry.) See also the trigger action "CHideShowAction".
Physics
bool Moveable false Object can be moved (perhaps only works if it's Tangible?).
bool Tangible false Is this a physical object ie. one that feels solid.
bool Floats false If set to true, object floats on water.
bool Frozen false If set to true, object won't move until 'unfrozen'.
float Density 0.1 Used to compute mass from bounding volume.
float Elasticity 0.2 Original levels have 0.1-0.2, except for PBasketBall00-00=2.0
float Friction 5.0 Ranges 0 to 10 in original levels.
float Mass unknown Explicitly set mass (ie. not using Density).
string Type "Box" Arrangement of pysics boxes:
"Box" = Simple box-shaped object (regardless of actual shape)
"Compound" = Compound object (array of boxes)
If "Compound" then use Model00s for the physics. Both this object and Model00's should have Tangible=true, and the Moveable flags must match as well.
string Model00, Model01, ... none Physics sub-object. Specifies object(s) whose bounding boxes should be used for physics instead of this object's bounding box. Type must be "Compound". Trespasser files only use numbers 00-09.
Note: I believe that if geometry type2 objects are used as subobjects, the name must begin with '$', and the values cannot contain "Visible=false" (having the name start with '$' will make it invisible). (Named '$' object must exist.)
Animated textures
For a scrolling texture, set DeltaX and Delta. For animated texture, specify some Anim00s. When the current animation Frame changes, all textures in the object are replaced with the new Anim texture. Note that a model retains it's original textures until the first frame change (which occurs after Interval seconds).
float DeltaX 0.0 For scrolling texture, X texture coords/second.
float DeltaY 0.0 For scrolling texture, Y texture coords/second.
string Anim00, Anim01, ... 0 If specified, defines an animated texture. Name of texture must be without path eg. "AnneHealth100.bmp". Can have up to Anim31. See also the trigger action "CAnimateTextureAction".
int Frame 0 Initial frame number. Note: even if this is specified, the model retails original textures until the animation first updates.
int FreezeFrame -1 Stop animation when this frame is reached. -1 means don't stop, loop through the textures continuously.
float Interval unknown Delay in seconds between changing animated texture, -1 to freeze.
int TrackTwo 0 (optional, default is one track only) Set first frame of second animation track If Frame gets to the end of the first track, it loops back to zero. If Frame gets to the last Anim frame, it loops to TrackTwo. Change tracks by setting Frame in the "CAnimateTextureAction" action.
Visibility culling and image caching:
float Culling unknown Don't draw if object is further away than this.
float ShadowCulling unknown Don't draw shadow if object is further away than this.
bool CacheIntersecting false Set to true to prevent "Z-fighting" between two closely layered objects.
float CacheMul 1.0 Cache object at further distance than normal (eg. 2, 3, 4). The default distance is the one we've called "draw distance". The "image cache" is used for the 2-D "imposters" that replace the 3-D meshes.
bool NoCache false If true, don't use an image cache for this object.
bool NoCacheAlone false If true, don't use an image cache for this object alone (but OK if it's together with some other).
bool HardwareOnly false Only draw object when Trespasser runs in Hardware mode.
bool SoftwareOnly false Only draw object when Trespasser runs in Software mode.
bool NoLowRes false Set to true for the object to use high-res textures even if the user has selected the "Low resolution" option in Settings.
bool TrrMovingShadows true False to not draw shadows while object is moving. (Not used in original levels.)
string DetailShadow none Object to use for shadow. (Named object must exist.)
int Priority unknown 1,2,3 in original levels. Tied to video quality settings. (Not sure of exact usage, but eg. at low quality option, Priority 1 objects are not rendered, but Priority 3 objects are.) Priority allows you to specify which things are drawn on different Quality settings. Things with Priority=1 get drawn all the time, even at the lowest Quality level, things with higher Priority values will only be drawn if Quality is set to higher values. Quality goes from 0 to 4, and I've seen Priority set from 1 to 3.
string Detail1 none LOD mesh. Specifies models (eg. with reduced detail) to use when object is less than a certain number of pixels along an axis (specified by A00, A01). (Named '$' object must exist.)
float A01 none See Detail1. (In original levels, A01 is always greater than A02. ie. A01 is larger pixel size so used when object is closer).
string Detail2 none See Detail1. (Named '$' object must exist.)
float A02 none See Detail1.
bool X false Set to true to use the X axis for reference to use the LOD meshes.
bool Y false Set to true to use the Y axis for reference to use the LOD meshes.
bool Z true Set to true to use the Z axis for reference to use the LOD meshes (default axis).

CJoint
CAnimal (and Anne also) have joints, which have no Class specified, and are named $J<objectname>XX where XX is the joint number (starting at 00). Basic joints have a list A00, A01,... of vertices attached to the joint, the highest value being A199, which means no more than 200 vertices can be attached to the same joint. "Double" joints also have "int Anim00,Anim01" specifying parent joints, and "float Ratio,RotationRatio" specfying an interpolation between the parent joints (Ratio and RotationRatio determining how much the Anim00 bone/joint influences the position and rotation over the Anim01 one). Maybe the default values are 0.5 for an interpolation that goes 50/50 between Anim00 and Anim01?
Looking at the retail:

Raptors have 21 joints and 6 double joints, interpolated ones are 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26
The para has 21 joints, no double/interpolated ones
The albertasaur and rexes have 21 joints and 1 double, interpolated one is 21
The brachi has 29 joints, no double/interpolated ones
The steg has 30 joints and 2 double joints, interpolated ones are 30 and 31
The trike has 31 joints and 4 double joints, interpolated ones are 31, 32, 33 and 34

While in the beta:
No CAnimal uses NumDoubleJoints
Only raptors use interpolated joints, on bone 20 and with these values:
Anim00 = 22
Anim01 = 16
Ratio = 0.500000
RotationRatio = 0.500000
Only raptors have a NumJoints value of 23, all other bipeds have 21
All quadrupeds have a NumJoints value of 29

Some analysis seems to imply that:
there were some predefined vertex assignments for certain meshes (for example, 6000 for the "old" Para), new ones use a value of -2 and t-scripts for vertex assignment instead
the base biped skeleton (indicated by string Type = "Raptor" or "TRex", which are synonyms) has 21 bones/joints
the base quadruped one (indicated by string Type = "Trike") has 29 bones/joints
additional bones/joints can be added (yes, I'm being redundant)
some of the new bones/joints can become double/interpolated, but they don't need to; I guess non-interpolated ones remain "static" relative to the "hip" bone and interpolated ones instead move together with the ones between which they're interpolated
Example:

group $JRaptorB05 = {
int A00 = 24
int A01 = 25
}
group $JRaptorB26 = {
int Anim00 = 7
int Anim01 = 6
float Ratio = 0.500000
float RotationRatio = 0.500000
int A00 = 0
int A01 = 1
int A02 = 2
int A03 = 15
}

Type Name Default Description
int A00, A01, ... Not specified Vertices attached to this joint, the list can go up to A199 for a maximum total of 200 vertices per joint.
int Anim00 Not specified For interpolated joints, the first joint of two between which this interpolated joint should go.
int Anim01 Not specified For interpolated joints, the second joint of two between which this interpolated joint should go.
float Ratio 0.5 ? For interpolated joints, determines how much the Anim00 joint influences the position over the Anim01 one, from 0.0 (nothing) to 1.0 (completely)
float Rotationratio 0.5 ? For interpolated joints, determines how much the Anim00 joint influences the rotation over the Anim01 one, from 0.0 (nothing) to 1.0 (completely)

CLightDirectional
Directional light source for the level. Light direction is along the Z axis of the model. Not all levels have this. When missing, apparently Trespasser assigns a default one. Always has "bool Visible = false". See also the trigger action "CSetRendererAction".

Example:

group DLight_JungleRoad = {
string Class = "CLightDirectional"
bool Visible = false
}

Type Name Default Description
float Intensity 0.99 Can go from 0.0 to 1.0

CMagnet or MasterMagnet
Magnets are used to create rotational joints, slide joints, attach a slave object to a master, and attach master objects to Anne's hand or shoulder. See also the trigger action "CMagnetAction". (Suspected invalid value: "float RestoringForce", only specified once (=2.5) in original levels, not mentioned in exe.)

Type Name Default Description
string MasterObject none Master object to which magnet is attached. If not specified, it's the object which the magnet is touching. (Named object must exist.)
string SlaveObject none Slave object. If not specified, Master object is attached to the world. (Named object must exist.)
bool Breakable false If true, magnet can be broken (uses BreakStrength).
float BreakStrength 0.0 1-150 in original levels.
bool XFree, YFree, ZFree false Axes to allow rotation around. eg. ZFree for a door, all free for a swivel joint. Note that Trespasser ignores the MasterObject if any of these are true (ie. rotation joints can only be attached to the world). If the object has subobjects, the first subobject's axes are used for reference.
bool XTFree, YTFree, ZTFree false Axes to allow translation along, refered to the world, not the mesh or the magnet.
int AngleMin unknown Rotation angle limit.
int AngleMax unknown Rotation angle limit.
float RestoreStrength unknown Restoring force for hinge magnets. Not used in original levels.
float Drive 0.0 Rotational driving force if ZFree=true (X,Y too?).
float Friction 0.0 Rotational friction.
bool HandPickup false Can Anne grab this magnet? Specify MasterObject only, and use Instance=true. Can specify a Substitute mesh for Anne.
bool ShoulderHold false This magnet will attach to Anne's shoulder. Specify MasterObject only, and use Instance=true.
int Substitute none Substitute mesh for Anne if HandPickup.
Possible additional values (but not used in original levels): Delta, Delay, Gender, Magnet, X, Z.

SlaveMagnet
Initialized as standard instance (may have different function in-game).


CSocket
This class shares several properties with CMagnet, but unlike it, CSocket objecs can be visible, tangible and moveable. Not used in original levels.

Type Name Default Description
int Gender unknown
float Radius 0.0
CMuzzleFlash
Muzzle flashes are used by CGun.MFlashObject0, and are always of the form:

Example:

group FMFrifleMF03-00 = {
string Class = "CMuzzleFlash"
bool Unlit = true
bool Shadow = false
}

CParticles
Particle system definition. See a level for examples. Replaced the older Hit Spang system.

Type Name Default Description
string A00, A01, ... must specify Use this particle effect only when these SoundMaterials are hit. Original levels have up to A03. "Default" means this effect will be used for any SoundMaterials not listed elsewhere.
int R,G,B must specify Color for these particles
bool Solid false ? If Solid is set to true, then the particle is solid and doesn't get elongated as it falls.
bool Dust false ? Simlar to Solid, but isn't affected by Gravity. Instead, its acceleration decreases along its trajectory.
bool Fluid unknown Not actually a valid parameter, but appears to be used internally for materials like Water and Blood. Maybe this is what's assumed when neither Solid nor Dust are specified as true?
bool Log false ? If Log is set to true, then the effect is proportional to the logarithm of the force of the impact, otherwise it's linearly proportional.
group Min, Max must specify Range for random particle parameters (see a level for examples). The Min group defines the parameters for the minimum, the Max group the ones for the maximum, and the particles randomly use the whole range in between. Parameters listed below.
float Threshold 0.0/1.0 ? Minimum/Maximum impact force for which the effect is applied. Value ranges between 0.0 and 1.0 for normalized linear or logarithmic range.
float Number unknown Minimum/Maximum number of particles in effect.
float Velocity unknown Minimum/Maximum initial velocity for the particles.
float Lifespan unknown Minimum/Maximum lifespan of particles
float Size unknown Minimum/Maximum size for particles.
float Length unknown Minimum/Maximum length for non-Solid (Fluid?) particles.
float Gravity unknown Minimum/Maximum gravity acceleration for particles. Standard gravity is 10.0.
float StuckGravity unknown Minimum/Maximum gravity acceleration for non-Solid particles while they don't reach their whole Length yet. Useful for "dripping" effects with StuckGravity < Gravity.
float Spread unknown Minimum/Maximum spread angle for the particles measured from the center axis along their direction of movement.
Example:

group EffectDefault = {
string Class = "CParticles"
int R = 188
int G = 188
int B = 188
bool Solid = true
group Min = {
float Threshold = 0.500000
float Number = 15.000000
float Velocity = 0.900000
float Lifespan = 0.300000
float Size = 0.003000
float Length = 0.050000
float Gravity = 0.050000
float StuckGravity = 0.000000
float Spread = 20.000000
}
group Max = {
float Threshold = 1.000000
float Number = 30.000000
float Velocity = 1.250000
float Lifespan = 0.500000
float Size = 0.007000
float Length = 0.050000
float Gravity = 0.050000
float StuckGravity = 0.000000
float Spread = 35.000000
}
string A00 = "Default"
}
Retail levels have "GravityStuck", which is a typo. Other possible values: Log, Dust.

CSky
The sky object. Always has "bool MipMap = false". See also the trigger action "CSetSkyAction".

Example:

group MySky-00 = {
string Class = "CSky"
bool MipMap = false
// MUST specify false, so sky texture is always loaded
int SkyFlatColour = 0 // Always 0 in original levels
}
Type Name Default Description
int SkyFlatColour unknown

CSubsystem
Recognized by executable, but does not appear to accept any parameters.



CTerrainObj
Can have CInstance values Culling and SoundMaterial. (Also AI, CacheMul and CacheIntersecting, but I'm not sure if Trespasser uses those three). See also the trigger action "CSetTerrainAction".

Type Name Default Description
int Height must specify Specifies layering of terrain objects. Higher numbers are drawn on top of lower ones, base objects should have Height = 1. If terrain objects have the same height, they are drawn in an unspecified order, so best set the Heights appropriately.
string SoundMaterial none
float Friction unknown
Example:

group MyTrnobj-00 = {
string Class = "CTerrainObj"
int Height = 2
string SoundMaterial = "Terrain - Cement"
}

CTest
Scans for at least one script entry of each type (int, bool, float, string, and type 2 - presumably "char"). Does not appear to create an explicit instance.


CWaterDisturbance
I assume that if an instance of this is placed by a CEntityWater object it creates some waves. A couple of instances of this class have some other values (like "Visible=false") but I think Trespasser ignores them.

Example:

group WaterDisturb1-00 = {
string Class = "CWaterDisturbance"
float Interval = 1.0 // Either 1,2,3 in original levels
float Strength = 0.1 // Either 0.1,0.2 in original levels
}
Also uses float Radius to indicate the size of the disturbance.

Type Name Default Description
float Strength unknown
float Interval unknown
float Radius unknown


Player
This is Anne, the player in Trespasser. Not much to modify here, just use Anne from an existing level. Note that values in the script refer to Anne as "Player" instead of the instance name "Anne".

Example:

group Anne = {
string Class = "Player"
int PVA = -2
int NumJoints = 20
int NumDoubleJoints = 2
int Normals = 2
int AnimSubMaterial = 8
string Anim00 = "Anne2_Health_100t2.bmp"
string Anim01 = "Anne2_Health_90t2.bmp"
string Anim02 = "Anne2_Health_80t2.bmp"
string Anim03 = "Anne2_Health_70t2.bmp"
string Anim04 = "Anne2_Health_60t2.bmp"
string Anim05 = "Anne2_Health_50t2.bmp"
string Anim06 = "Anne2_Health_40t2.bmp"
string Anim07 = "Anne2_Health_30t2.bmp"
string Anim08 = "Anne2_Health_20t2.bmp"
string Anim09 = "Anne2_Health_10t2.bmp"
string Anim10 = "Anne2_Health_deadt2.bmp"
string A00 = "$Anne_Gun1-00"
string A01 = "$Anne_Bat-00"
string A02 = "$Anne_Gun2-00"
string A03 = "$Anne_Barrett-00"
string A04 = "$Anne_TranqPistol-00"
string A05 = "$Anne_Benelli-00"
string A06 = "$Anne_ButtonFinger-00"
string A07 = "$Anne_Natural-00"
string A08 = "$Anne_Rock-00"
string A09 = "$Anne_Bird-00"
string A10 = "$Anne_HamRev-00"
string A11 = "$Anne_KeyCard-00"
string A12 = "$Anne_HuntRifle-00"
bool Merge = false
bool Split = false
bool Wrap = false
bool Shadow = false
string Hand = "$AnneHand"
string Foot = "$AnneFoot"
string Body = "$AnneBody"
}
Doesn't need to be called "Anne", Shadow can be set to true and the substitute meshes (A00 to A12) need to exist in order to pick up objects without the level crashing.

Player Settings
Specifies the sounds to use for Anne. Just copy from an existing level if needed.

group VocalAnneJump = {
string Class = "Player Settings"

Settings
Define the settings for the 16 available AlphaChannels (0-15). You need one Settings object for each channel you want to redefine.

Type Name Default Description
float Alpha unknown Degree of Alpha blending, 0.0-1.0
int AlphaChannel unknown # of channel being redefined, 0-15
int R unknown Level of Red, 0-255
int G unknown Level of Green, 0-255
int B unknown Level of Blue, 0-255

Teleport
Teleport objects are the destinations for the "tnext" cheat. I'm not sure what the order of the teleports is, but most likely the order they're listed in the GRF regiontable. Teleports often contain other CInstance values, but I think Trespasser ignores them.

Example:

group TeleportA = {
string Class = "Teleport"
}

Marker
Is not implemented in executable. Maybe similar to Teleport?


TerrainPlacement
Specifies the terrain file for the level. (The texture on this object sometimes looks like a render of the terrain objects of the whole level.)

Type Name Default Description
string File must specify Name of terrain .WTD file, no extension.
bool MipMap must be "false" Always false in the original levels.
Example:

group TrnPlacement-00 = {
string Class = "TerrainPlacement"
string File = "be"
bool MipMap = false
}

<no Class specified>
If no "Class" value is specified, Trespasser seems to assume it's a CInstance. However, there is one special object which defines a color look up table. The name of the object follows a standard format for all the levels, but I don't know if that format is important. The object contains two groups:

Example:

group Trig_BEGlobalClut-00 = {
group DefaultClutStartColor = {
int B = 223
int G = 237
int R = 251
}
group DefaultClutStopColor = {
int B = 17
int G = 20
int R = 24
}
}
Apparently, the CLUT defines the range of colors that are rendered in a level.

Other possible values: DefaultClutReflectionColor, ClutStartColor, ClutStopColor, ClutReflectionColor

IGNORE
Recognized by executable, but is then treated as its name implies.



Trigger Classes
Triggers perform one or more actions when certain conditions are met. The base class CBooleanTrigger evaluates a FireExpression monitoring the state of trigger instances. All other trigger classes inherit CBooleanTrigger's values, and have additional contitions to determine when the trigger fires.

Class What makes the trigger fire:
CBooleanTrigger
CCollisionTrigger
CCreatureTrigger
CLocationTrigger
CMoreMassTrigger
CObjectTrigger
CSequenceTrigger
CStartTrigger
CTimerTrigger
CVariableTrigger

When boolean expression of other triggers' states is true
When objects collide
When Anne or a dino dies
When (Anne/object/dino) (enters/is in/exits) a location
Usage unknown (not used in original levels)
When an object is picked up, used, or dropped
When a sequence of events occurs
When the level starts
At certain intervals
Not really a trigger, just stores a boolean variable
Example:

group InsideHouseTigger = {
string Class = "CLocationTrigger"
bool PlayerEnterTrigger = true
int ActionType = 34
string OverlayText = "You have entered the house"
}
These values are common to all trigger classes.
Type Name Default Description
int ActionType none Type of action(s) to perform when trigger fires. See the Trigger Actions section.
int BoundVol 0 Which bounding volume to use for trigger. Only used by CLocationTrigger and CCollisionTrigger.
0 = Sphere
1 = Cube
int FireCount -1 Maximum number of times trigger should fire. -1 means any number of times. Decreases by 1 each time until reaching 0. (See also ResetFire)
float FireDelay 0.0 When trigger is activated, wait this long (in seconds) before processing the actions.
string FireExpression true Trigger only fires if this boolean expression is true. The expression evaluates the state of other triggers. Operators in the expression can be: "!" for NOT, "&" for AND, "|" for OR, "^" for XOR and "=" for EQUAL.
By default the expression checks if a trigger has ever fired, and putting "@" before the trigger name means "check the current state", or "Evaluate Now", but not all triggers have that function.
There is no operator precedence so parentheses must be used.
eg. If Place1 etc. are all CLocationTriggers: "Place1 & Place2" to check if player has been in both places, or "@inroom | InShed" to check if player is currently in the room, OR was in the shed at some time in the past.
int Probability 100 Probability (0-100, in %) that trigger will actually fire (ie. process the actions) when activated. If trigger doesn't fire, FireCount isn't decreased. (Not used in original levels)
int ProcessStyle 3 Used when there is more than one action to perform (see the Actions section). eg. For three actions the trigger contains sub-groups called Action00, Action01, Action02, and the ProcessStyle says when and in what order to execute the actions.
0 = Processes the actions in order immediately (ie. without waiting for an action to finish before moving on to the next).
The remaining ProcessStyles all wait for the current action to finish before starting the next action.
1 = Process actions in order, one action every time the trigger fires
2 = Like 1 but process in random order
3 = Process actions now, in order, once each
4 = Process actions now, in random order, once each
5 = Process actions now, in order, looping continuously
6 = Process actions now, in random order, looping continuously
float RepeatPeriod 0.0 Time to wait before trigger can fire again.
bool FireAtZero false When set to true, trigger will only fire when FireCount has reached down to zero. Use with ResetFire.
bool ResetFire false Reset FireCount after reaching zero. ie. Make it as if this trigger hasn't fired yet, and allow the trigger to fire FireCount times all over again.
float SequenceDelayMin unknown Min and Max values for a random delay between sequential actions.
float SequenceDelayMax unknown If the Min and Max values are the same, then the delay is exactly that value.
int AlphaChannel unknown Not used by Trespasser. See CInstance.AlphaChannel.
CBooleanTrigger
Trigger fires automatically when FireExpression evaluates to true. Evaluate Now function returns the current value of the expression.


CCollisionTrigger

string OverlayText = "Raptor died"
}
Probable additional values (but not used in original levels): CreatureWake, CreatureSleep, CreatureCriticalDamage, CreatureDamagePoints.

CLocationTrigger
Trigger fires when Anne or an object enters/is in/leaves a certain area. Evaluate Now function first checks the TriggerActivate string, then the other flags and returns the current state.

int CreatureLeaveCount 0 If set to a non-zero value, trigger will only fire after as many creatures have left the trigger's bounding volume. Sets CreatureLeaveTrigger automatically to true.
string TriggerActivate none Object or animal that exclusively activates trigger.
If set, watch out if you're using Player* flags as it may never fire.
If not set, any object or animal will fire the trigger. (Named object must exist.)
bool PointTrigger true If true, trigger will fire when center point of object is inside trigger's bounding volume.
If false, it will fire whenever both bounding volumes intersect.
Probable additional values (but not used in original levels): CreatureEnterTrigger, CreatureInTrigger, CreatureLeaveTrigger, CreatureEnterCount, CreatureLeaveCount.

CMoreMassTrigger
Will compare mass of objects inside trigger to specified mass. Trigger never fires. Returns true if mass is higher than specified value, false if not. Evaluate Now function returns current value.

CSequenceTrigger
Fires when a sequence of things happen. See 'lab' level for some examples.

Eg. If there are 5 SequenceOrderNames, the trigger waits until 5 triggers from the SequenceListenNames list have fired. Or if any trigger in the SequenceEvalNowNames list fires, the sequence is evaluated immediately. Then, if the order they fired matches the order listed in SequenceOrderNames, the trigger fires. If the order does not match, SequenceFalseTriggerName fires.

Type Name Default Description
group SequenceListenNames must specify List of triggers to monitor.
group SequenceOrderNames must specify Order the monitored triggers must fire in.
group SequenceEvalNowNames unknown Force evaluation of sequence if one of these triggers fires.

}
int FireCount = 1
int ActionType = 23
string Sample = "Spec-Keypad Confirmation01"
int BoundVol = 1
}

CStartTrigger

float MaxHighTime 1.0 Once trigger fires, it is 'on' for a random amount of time between MinHighTime and MaxHighTime, then it turns off.
float MinHighTime 1.0 If MinHighTime and MaxHighTime are equal, trigger is on for that exact amount of time.
float MaxLowTime 1.0 Trigger is 'off' for a random amount of time between MinLowTime and MaxLowTime, before turning on again. (Unless FireCount has been exceeded, then trigger stays off.)
float MinLowTime 1.0 If MinLowTime and MaxLowTime are equal, trigger is off for that exact amount of time.

CVariableTrigger
I don't think this trigger ever fires, it's just a "boolean variable" that can be controlled by the script (using CSetVariableTriggerAction), and can be used in other triggers' FireExpression. Eavlauate Now function returns current state of the trigger.

Type Name Default Description
bool Value must specify Initial state of trigger. Use CSetVariableTriggerAction to change.
Example:

group MyBooleanVariable-00 = {
string Class = "CVariableTrigger"
bool Value = true // Initial state
}


Trigger Actions
Actions that can happen when a trigger fires.

0 = "CVoiceOverAction"
1 = "CAmbientAction"
2 = "CMusicAction"
3 = "CFadeMusicAction"
4 = "CShowOverlayAction"
5 = "CSetFogAction"
6 = "CSetRendererAction"
7 = "CSetTerrainAction"
8 = "CSetImageCacheAction"
9 = "CSetAIAction"
10 = "CSetPhysicsAction"
11 = "CSubstituteMeshAction"
12 = "CSetSortAction"
13 = "CSetSkyAction"
14 = "CSetAlphaWaterAction"
15 = "CWaterOnOffAction"
16 = "CLoadLevelAction"
17 = "CSetAnimatePropertiesAction"
18 = "CTeleportAction"
19 = "CSaveLevelAction"
20 = "CMagnetAction"
21 = "CAnimateTextureAction"
22 = "CHideShowAction"
23 = "CSoundEffectAction"
24 = "CWakeAIAction"
25 = "CDelayAction"
26 = "CScriptedAnimationAction"
27 = "CSetVariableTriggerAction"
28 = "CSetHintAction"
29 = "CAudioEnvironmentAction"
30 = "CSubstituteAIAction"
31 = "CEndGameAction"
32 = "CControlPlayerAction"
33 = "CAISystemAction"
34 = "CTextAction"
35 = "CWaterDisturbanceAction"
The type of action is specified in the ActionType value of a trigger. If there is only one action for a trigger, the ActionType and the action's values can simply be added into the trigger group:

group SimpleActionTrigger = {
string Class = "CStartTrigger"
int ActionType = 34
string OverlayText = "This trigger just displays some text."
}
If there is more than one action, the actions are specified as ActionXX groups, each containing one ActionType, and that action's values. The trigger may also contain a ProcessStyle value to specify how the multiple actions are to be executed:

group MultipleActionTrigger = {
string Class = "CStartTrigger"
int ProcessStyle = 3
group Action00 = {
int ActionType = 0
string Sample = "VA01"
}
group Action01 = {
int ActionType = 25
float Delay = 4.0
}
group Action02 = {
int ActionType = 34
string OverlayText = "This trigger plays a sound, waits 4 seconds,
then displays this text."
}
}
Some action types were not used in the original levels and their usage is unknown: 3, 4, 8, 12, 14, 15, 26, 30, 32, 33.

ActionType 0 = "CVoiceOverAction"
Play voiceover (from "Stream.tpa"). I think volumes are specified in Decibels (dB), in which case -3 = half volume.
There is a difference between ActionType 0 and 2. 0 is known as "CVoiceOverAction" and 2 is known as "CMusicAction". All voiceovers and music are located in the Stream.tpa file (or your ATX additive file). Only 1 sound out of any called to play using AT 0 will play at one time, and only 1 sound out of any called to play using AT 2 will play at one time. However, a sound from AT 0 and AT 2 may play at the same time. If a sound from Stream.tpa is playing via AT 2 while one from AT 0 is playing, the sound from AT 0 is dominant - the volume of the AT 2 sound is automatically lowered and the AT 0 sound plays over it. This is how you get voiceovers to play while music is going. As far as I know, any sounds from Effects.tpa will play on top of each other, since in some cases many collisions and dinosaur sounds must be played immediately once they are called on.

Values that were never used in the original levels: possibly Toggle.

ActionType 22 = "CHideShowAction"
Set visible/hidden state of object.

Type Name Default Description
string ObjectName must specify Object to set Visible state of. (Named object must exist.)
bool Volume unknown If true, affect all objects inside bounding volume of ObjectName Only set in one trigger.
bool Visible must specify Object visibility state is set to this.
bool Toggle false? Toggle object visibility.
If an object is initially set to bool Visible = false in its t-script, ActionType 22 can't make it visible. The way around this is to make it bool Visible = true and se a start trigger with ActionType 22 to make it invisible as soon as the level loads, and later use another trigger with ActionType 22 to make it visible again when you need to.

ActionType 23 = "CSoundEffectAction"
Play effect sound (from "Effects.tpa"). Similar to action "CAmbientAction" but can attach to (move with) an object.

Type Name Default Description
string Sample must specify Name of sample to play from "Effects.tpa" file.
string Emitter must specify Name of object emitting this sound. See Attach. (Named object must exist.)
bool Attach false If true, sound is attached to (moves with) Emitter.
float Volume unknown Sound volume in dB.
float Attenuation unknown Sound attenuation with distance in dB/m. 0,1,2 in original levels.
float Frustum unknown Angle of the sound cone around the Y-axis for 3-D samples.
float OutsideVolume unknown Sound volume outside the cone in dB for 3-D samples.

ActionType 24 = "CWakeAIAction"
Wake up dinos or put them to sleep. It's only used once in original levels, in a trigger with name "TrigWakeupA-00".

Type Name Default Description
bool WakeUp true Set to true to wake up dinos, set to false to put them to sleep.
string Target none Name of dinosaur to wake up or put to sleep. If not specified, affect all dinosaurs within radius of sphere of influence. (Named object must exist.)
string Location none Name of object to use as center of sphere of influence. If not specified, use the trigger itself. (Named object must exist.)
float Radius unknown Radius of sphere of influence. If not specified, use trigger's scale.
float X none X coordinate of sphere's center, overrides Location.
float Y none Y coordinate of sphere's center, overrides Location.
float Z none Z coordinate of sphere's center, overrides Location.

ActionType 25 = "CDelayAction"
Delay before moving to next action.

Type Name Default Description
float Delay must specify Time to delay before moving to next action.

ActionType = 26 "CScriptedAnimationAction"
Not used in original levels. This action animates objects and/or the camera. See the Animation Scripts section for details of the script format.

Type Name Default Description
string AnimationName must specify Name of animation script, without file extension. If a .asb file exists in the data directory, it is used. If not, a .asa file is loaded from the data/anim/ directory, and a .asb file is saved in the data directory. Action is ignored if no animation file is found.

eg. To play animation script "D:\data\anim\test.asa" where D:\ is the Trespaser "Data Drive"
group Trig_Start2-00 = {
string Class = "CStartTrigger"
int FireCount = 1
int ActionType = 26
string AnimationName = "test"
}
ActionType 27 = "CSetVariableTriggerAction"
Set (boolean) variable trigger state.

Type Name Default Description
string TriggerName must specify Name of a CVariableTrigger (Named trigger must exist.)
bool Value true Value to set trigger to.
bool Toggle false Set to "true" to toggle trigger's current value.

ActionType 28 = "CSetHintAction"
Type Name Default Description
int HintID must specify Used without any other parameters to access predefined texts, encoded inside the executable, same as ResourceIDs.
Values used are of the form x for the TestScene, 10x for the Beach, 20x for Jungle Road, 30x for Industrial Jungle, 40x for Ingen Town, 60x for the lab, 70x for Ascent, 80x for Ascent 2, 90x for Summit, where x is a number between 0-9 (not all are valid for all levels). The demo doesn't use a trigger to set Hints, so it's using the "default" HintID of 0, in all likelihood (which also appears in the TestScene until a trigger replaces it with HintID 1). Maybe 50x Hints were used for Pine Valley? Currently, selecting a 50x HintID displays only a blank message.

ActionType 29 = "CAudioEnvironmentAction"
Set EAX environmental audio parameters. Eg. Set default parameters in a CStartTrigger, and then in CLocationTriggers to give different areas special effects. Remember to set the defaults again when player leaves the area.

Type Name Default Description
int AudioEnvironment unknown EAX environment preset (see table below).
float ReverbDamping depends on preset Ranges from 0 - 0.79 in original levels.
float ReverbDecay depends on preset Ranges from 0.4 - 4.32 in original levels.
float ReverbVolume depends on preset Ranges from 0.15 - 1.0 in original levels.

ActionType 32 = "CControlPlayerAction"
Make player perform an action.

Type Name Default Description
bool PutDownObject false Forces player to drop item currently in hand

ActionType 33 = "CAISystemAction"
Can be used to enable/disable AI options. Affects all AIs.

bool WakeUp true Set to false to prevent dinos from waking up (similar to "dinos" cheat), set to true to reactivate WakeUp parameters of every AI.

ActionType 34 = "CTextAction"
Display text at top of screen.

Type Name Default Description

Values that were never used in the original levels: TextDisplayTime, TextPosition (and possibly ResourceID, TextAtTop).

ActionType 35 = "CWaterDisturbanceAction"
Activate CWaterDisturbance object.

Type Name Default Description
string Target unknown CWaterDisturbance object to activate (named object must exist).


Animation Scripts
Animation scripts were not used in any of the original levels - I've had to determine the format myself.

An animation script is used to animate object and camera movements, and is used by trigger action CScriptedAnimationAction. File extensions are ".asb" for binary format, or ".asa" for ASCII format.

ASCII Animation Script (.asa)
Binary Animation Script (.asb)

ASCII scripts (.asa extension) must be placed in "<data drive>\data\anim\". Binary scripts (.asb extension) must be in "<data drive>\data\". Trespasser tries to load the binary file first. If it's not found, it loads the ASCII file, and saves a binary version in the data directory (which in future is used in preference to the ASCII version).
Note that shadows of moving objects are not updated. I haven't found a workaround for this.
ASCII Animation Script (.asa)
I'll continue the example from the CScriptedAnimationAction section, then describe the script keywords.

Eg. For our earlier example, this is the file "C:\Tres CD\data\anim\test.asa" where "C:\Tres CD\" is the Trespaser "Data Drive". The level must contain a CInstance called "Box-00"
version 1

object Box-00

frame 0
pos 0 5 3
rot 0 0 0 1
scale 1

frame 3.5
pos 5.5 3 3
rot 0 0 1 0
scale 1

end_object
If there's a syntax error in the file, anything from that point on is ignored. If the file is not found, the trigger does nothing.

Keyword Description
version <number>
This line is required, but the number seems to be ignored.
forced_rate <number>
Can specify after version, and I think before any "object" section. I'm not sure exactly what this means. "0" doesn't seem to do much, "1" makes the animation play very fast (perhaps it ignores the frame time, playing frames as fast as possible).
object <name>
Define animation for instance "<name>". If the instance is not found, script continues running, ignoring this object section.
frame <time>
Time (in seconds) for this keyframe
pos <X> <Y> <Z>
Position for this keyframe. Absolute (world) coordinates, as Trespasser has no hierarchy.
rot <X> <Y> <Z> <W>
Rotation quaternion for this keyframe. Will be normalized during loading.
scale <S>
Scale for this keyframe. (I think it might be multiplied by original object scale, so it would normally be set to 1.0)
object Camera
Define animation for "Camera". ie. give Anne an out-of-body experience. Just like the object block described above, but specifies animation of the viewport. With zero rotation, view direction is along the positive Y-axis, positive Z is up. (I think, perhaps it depends on Anne's orientation?)
Note: If Anne is moving (eg. a movement key is pressed) when the first Camera frame is reached, she will continue moving while the animation plays, even though the key may be released.
Binary Animation Script (.asb)
Trespasser loads these (from the data directory) in preference to a .asa file, and they should be used when a level is released. An .asb file is created automatically in the data directory the first time a .asa file is loaded.

Sinjin’s Trespasser Walkthrough
Posted on August 2, 2013 at 6:47 pm



Tresspasser – Version 1.0 – 11/12/98

Sinjin’s Survival Guide to Site B (c) 1998 by Mark Smith


Introduction – Welcome to Jurassic Park Site B


Trespasser is a game like no other. It features incredible real-life physics

and some of the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) ever seen in a

computer game. In fact, everything is so life-like that you will find real-life

solutions to real-life problems. This means that there are virtually endless

solutions and possibilities for any of the puzzles you will encounter on your

adventure.


To that end, this walkthrough will not furnish you with a linear progression

through the island. That would spoil the entire game since you have virtually

unlimited freedom of movement within each of the game’s levels. What this

walkthrough will do is outline each of the levels, the dinosaurs you may

encounter, and the various objectives/checkpoints you need to visit to

complete each level. You can visit these checkpoints in any order you choose

or even choose to ignore a certain path if you wish.


I have included small maps for each section of the island. These maps

include critical waypoints and other interesting places to visit. Their layout

is generally correct with regards to direction although there is no scale or

relationship to actual distance from one waypoint to the next. Remember,

you can explore each section of this game in total freedom. Aside from a

few critical items you must find to complete the various puzzles, you could

conceivably ignore my maps and text and figure out most of this game on

your own.


So when you are ready, prepare to enter Jurassic Park Site B. You are not

welcome….you were not invited… you are the TRESPASSER!





The Beach – The Training Area


Objectives:


– Leave beach and climb hill

– Learn how to manipulate objects

– Practice climbing and jumping

– Learn how to aim and fire weapons

– Uses boxes to get over wall

– Cross first gap in path

– Meet Brachiosaurus

– Cross second gap in path

– Kill the Raptor

– Climb the teetering ramp

– Find the Monorail Station and Exit


This first level is basically a training area for you to get the feel for the

interface, moving, jumping, and manipulating various objects. You begin

your adventure on the beach at the site of your plane crash. Explore the

area, play in the water, then head inland toward the big white rock to the

left when you are ready.


Jump up the rock then walk up the narrow sloped ledge of the hill to make

your way to the top. You will find the ruins of some sort of foundation for

a structure that was never completed. Here you will see several barrels,

boards and crates. Play around with these and practice picking them up,

twisting them and throwing them around. When you are comfortable with

how your arm works, head inland to the concrete structure.


Practice your climbing and jumping to get to the top of the wall. Toss some

barrels off the side and enjoy the view when you reach the top. Head back

down and make your way to the first wall and the gate. Walk into the gate

to knock it over.


This next area has the first of a huge variety of firearms you will find and

use in this game. You can carry two items at a time so grab a couple

weapons and start shooting things. Boxes and cans are stacked around this

area for your shooting pleasure. You will even find some rocks you can

throw when you finally run out of ammo. You may want to hang onto at least

one gun before leaving this area.


The next gate isn’t as easy as the first. You will need to jump onto the

various boxes and crates to get over the wall. Move them around to make

steps if you need to. Leap over the wall from the top of the box and

continue along the road. Checkout the billboard as you continue further

inland. Soon you will arrive at a deep ditch in the road with 3 crates. An old

truck off to the right hides a Hunting Rifle which you can get before

solving the first of many crate-puzzles. Knock the crates over and use one

or more of them as a step to get out of the depression on the other side.


Once you have made it across some music will accompany the arrival of a

pair of Brachiosaurs in the valley below. They won’t bother with you so

watch as long as you want before moving down the road to the next ditch

and more boxes. This puzzle is a bit more challenging. Pick up one of the

conveniently placed rocks and toss it at the stack of crates. You should aim

for the top so you knock one of the smaller boxes into the ditch. Use the

box to jump out of the depression and continue around the bend.


As you enter the next valley you should spot an abandoned truck down to

the left. Approach the truck and find the Desert Eagle .44 and Baseball Bat.

Arm yourself as you see fit then continue along the path towards the small

cliff and wooden structure.


About this time your first hostile dinosaur is probably charging at you from

behind. Turn and kill the Raptor then solve the ramp puzzle. There are

multiple ways to solve this puzzle. You can climb the beam and jump to the

platform then run up it and jump to the top of the cliff, or you can toss a

rock on the non-cliff side of the plank to make it lower down so you can

run and jump, or you can go under the platform and jump up to lower the

other side down to where you can run up and jump over. This is typical of

most of the puzzles in Trespasser, and in the future I will only be telling

you the way “I solved each particular puzzle”. Feel free to find alternate

and possibly better ways to do things.


Follow the road until you come to a weapons locker (white box) with a

Desert Eagle inside. A Raptor is attacking from the right just about now, so

you’d better kill it. Continue following the road until you finally arrive at

the Monorail Station. Climb the stairs and listen to the broken recorded

greeting. Then jump out onto the tracks and head toward the wood fence.

Jump the gap in the track using the narrow beam to gain extra jumping

distance. Finally jump off the end of the track, over the wall, and into the

next area.




Jungle Road – The Monorail Trail


Objectives:


– Follow Monorail supports

– Search shed at recreation area

– Watch the Triceratops vs. the Raptors

– Search the Plantation house

– Use the Call Box

– Use crane to get on Monorail

– Walk/jump along broken Monorail to Exit


As you explore this next section of the island, always try to keep the

monorail supports in view. These are your guide to the end of this part of

the island. If you haven’t noticed, you have NO WEAPONS. This will be the

case when you start each of the following sections. Fortunately there are

always weapons nearby at the beginning of each level so grab the Desert

Eagle out of the box and follow the trail of monorail supports.


To the left you should see barrels and pieces of monorail parts. Buried in

all of this is a T-Rex Tooth; certainly not the best weapon you could want,

but it will kill at close range. As you follow the monorail you should soon

come across a Smith & Wesson 686 (that’s a gun – not a computer). You will

also spot a Jawbone which also makes a good weapon, but remember, you

can only carry 2 items and range weapons like guns are ALWAYS better

than slashing weapons.


Soon you will arrive at a small clearing where a Stegosaurus is wandering

around eating some plants. Further down the road are a pair or Raptors who

are stalking this big fella. You can either kill the Raptor (and save the

Steg), or try to sneak past them all and hope the Raptors are more

concerned with their hunt than with you.


At the end of the road is a small cliff with the large box you can use the

Helmet or fire one of your weapons to knock a box down from the concrete

rails. Move the box over and use it as a step to get onto the bigger box and

finally up to the top of the cliff. You can avoid this puzzle entirely by just

walking around to the left but you really should get some practice – later

you will have to do things like this.


You will soon arrive at a small recreation area which consists of a shack,

some horseshoes, and a basketball. A Raptor is hiding behind the shed and

he isn’t here to “shoot hoops”. After you give him a permanent “timeout” you

can get the Desert Eagle from under the trashcan and knock away the

boards to get the Bennelli Shotgun from inside the shack.


A crashed jeep down in the valley has a Ruger Redhawk but you should be

fully armed at this point so why bother. Follow the trail that continues on to

the right of the shack. It will wind around to the left and eventually

overlook a valley where a Triceratops is squaring off against a hungry pair

of Raptors.


You can watch the fight and see who wins (the outcome is not scripted), or

you can sneak around to the right or left while they battle. Heading left

leads to the old Plantation House which contains nothing of value and is

guarded by at least a single Raptor. If you want to sightsee and kill another

dino then go check it out. You can continue past the house and past the lone

Parasaurolophus to bypass many of the obstacle you would encounter if you

went right back at the battle. You would eventually wind around and end up

at the Crane.


If you do go right then continue to the waterfall and turn left and head up

the hill. Further up an even higher hill to the left (back by the battle) is a

pretty cool stone ceremonial circle that overlooks the valley. There is

nothing of interest there but you may want to enjoy the view. Continue along

the designated trail to reach a call box.


No matter what you dial you will get an annoying recorded message saying

the phone is out of order. You really didn’t think it was going to be that

easy? Climb up the boxes and jump to the lower part of the sloped monorail

track. Head up the track until you reach the stacked crates. A pair of

hungry Raptors should be circling below. You can try hitting them with the

crates but you will probably need to kill them with more conventional

weapons before it’s all over.


Drop down to the stack of boxes to avoid taking serious injury then to the

ground where you will find a Bennelli Shotgun on the ground and a

Redhawk in the white weapons locker. Continue along the valley until you

reach a tower of large crates with a few lone boxes on the top. One of

these boxes has an Calico SB5 on it which you can possess if you can shoot

the box off the stack of crates. You will also find a Redhawk lying on the

ground in this area. Once you have these new weapons, drag the box over to

the larger box against the short cliff and climb up to continue.


Continue along until you reach a deep valley. A Stegosaurus wanders around

this area and he is being stalked by a pack of Raptors. They are hiding in

the woods to the right so head down the left side of the valley to put some

distance between you and the fight. If they attack you will have plenty of

time to line up some headshots. Continue on until you reach the Crane.


To the right of the crane is a Barrett .50 Caliber Mounted Sniper Rifle. You

can’t take this baby with you, but you can sure have some fun. Kill any of

the Raptors hanging around this area, or any that followed you from the

hunt. If you have any ammo left over you can shoot the crates off the

monorail track just for practice.


When you are ready to continue, climb the arm of the crane and get into the

basket. Then jump over to the tracks and start to follow them. Knock off

any crates that get in your way and jump over any gaps. If you fall, you can

always go back and start over or you can just continue along the ground.

While you are safer in the air, the falls may do more damage than the

Raptors ahead of you.


Eventually you will come to a big gap in the track that will force you to the

ground. A sloped piece of track puts you back on the next piece of rail and

you must stay on this track to finish. Falling at this point is almost certainly

fatal and there are many Raptors which are waiting below to feast on fresh

meat. Halfway along this track you will see a shack to the left with a

Hunting Rifle on the roof. If you are hard-up for weapons you can jump

over and get it, but this is a one-way trip and you will have to run along the

ground, either back to the beginning of this section of track or to the next

crane that leads to the third monorail section.


When you reach the crane you will want to get on the ground and explore to

find the Desert Eagle by the crane and the Bennelli Shotgun in the weapons

locker. Climb up to the final section of the track and climb the boxes. Look

straight down and then drop right onto the narrow beam that leads to the

next rail.


Continue along and climb over more boxes. You will eventually reach the

end of the track and exit this area of the island. If you fall, you can

always fight the raptors and exit up the small hill. Either way leads to the

end.




Industrial Jungle – Jungle of Death


Objectives:


– Follow the dry riverbed

– Avoid the T-Rex

– Follow rocky gorge

– Cross the fallen tree

– Climb the black stone steps

– Avoid the Albertosaurus

– Climb the crane to enter the town


This level get pretty difficult at the beginning with lots of predators and

not very many weapons. If you fail to kill a dinosaur after 2 or 3 shots you

may just want to run away assuming the wounded dino isn’t pursuing you.

This trick will work almost anywhere in the game.


You start in a dry riverbed. Behind you is a Hunting Rifle which you will

need in a minute. As you follow the gully you will soon come to a second

Hunting Rifle. When the riverbed makes a left turn you will spot a slope to

the right. If you climb this hill you will find a wrecked motorcycle and a

Redhawk. Since you should be fully armed at this point you can skip the

climb unless you want to sightsee.


There are several Raptors in the Gorge ahead. While you can kill them from

the safety of the Motorcycle Overlook, chances are you will be more

accurate with your shots if you just face then down below. Continue on to

the giant tree which has fallen into the ravine. Past the tree is a wrecked

truck where you can rearm with a Desert Eagle lying on a crate and a HK 91

Rifle lying in the bed of the truck.


Continue down the trail past more fallen trees until you reach a pair of

Raptors fighting. You can try to sneak by them while they battle or wait

until one is dead then kill the survivor. If you do sneak by, watch out for a

rear attack by the surviving Raptor if you don’t clear his territory fast

enough. The trail narrows and the walls get higher and another Raptor

awaits around the bend.


The next Raptor you encounter will stop and watch you from the shadow of

a jeep balanced on the cliff above. A single shot should bring the jeep

crashing down onto the Raptor – probably the only dino you will ever kill

with a single shot in this game.


Continue out of the gorge past the large rock and out into the open valley

where a T-Rex is fighting a pair of Raptors. Give these guys a lot of

distance and you can just walk past the fight. Stay far to the left and if

the T-Rex spots you simply freeze – remember – they can’t see you if you

don’t move. Once past the battlezone, you will find another abandoned

truck with a Hunting Rifle.


Past the truck and to the left is a waterfall. Down in the valley is a

Parasaurolophus who is under attack from the T-Rex. Stay up on the hill by

the waterfall for a ringside seat at the fight. When it’s over, or when you

get tired of watching, enter the rocky gorge ahead.


Grab the HK VP70 at the wreck and follow the gorge to the giant skeleton.

Three Raptors are in this area, although all might not be visible when you

first enter. Kill them quickly, leading them back into the gorge if necessary

so they can’t surround you. When it’s safe, continue up the path into even

more dangerous ground.


You will arrive on a very narrow ledge that wraps around the left side of a

deep canyon. Down below are many Raptors and a wrecked helicopter. Kill

as many Raptors as you can from the safety of the ledge. When the trail

ends, drop down and kill the rest. Run to the helicopter to find a SB5K

Machine Gun and a Redhawk if you need to rearm. You can also find a

powerful AG-47 on a very narrow ledge to the right just beyond the wreck.


Continue up and out of the canyon and circle around to the left. You should

be high up on the cliff overlooking the canyon with the helicopter wreck. A

giant tree spans the gap and this is your bridge. Walk carefully and prepare

to fight some Raptors waiting on the other side. Head down into the valley

toward the black rocks in the distance.


These rocks are a real pain to climb. Make sure you are jumping to the

lowest possible next step. Sometime you will even have to look for a small

chip knocked out of the rock and jump onto that angled edge and even

double-jump to make it to the top. You will have to cross back and forth to

slowly make your way up. Once on top you can survey the valley below.


Directly beneath you is a small (but deep) lake. Line yourself up with the

lake and jump off feet first – no diving in this game. Exit the lake and make

a dash for the jeep ahead and to the left where a mounted Browning

Machine Gun offers some defense against the Raptors and Albertosaur in

this area.


Past this encounter you will come across another great battle. Two Raptors

are attacking a Parasaurolophus. You can simply avoid this battle by keeping

close to the cliff on the left as you continue toward the power line towers.

A shack in this area contains a PAC-10, Sledgehammer and Rebar. Take the

gun if you need it – the rest is pretty worthless considering what’s ahead.

Follow the power line towers up the hill (numbers should be getting smaller

on the towers), past the wreck jeep and over to the airplane crash. You

should find a AG-47 w/ drum-magazine for serious firepower. Continue

down the road past another pair of Raptors attacking a Parasaurolophus.

Attack them only if they come after you.


Further down the road you will see a crane parked outside the wall to the

town. A pair of Raptors are along this road and there is no other prey to

distract them, so you will have to fight these guys. When you reach the

crane, climb up and onto the beam and them jump over the wall.




The Town – Back to Civilization?


Objectives:


– Crack code for main door

– Find Blue Keycard

– Unlock Dr. Wu’s door from Security Center

– Find Red Keycard in Dr. Wu’s house

– Explore Hammond’s Estate

– Find White Keycard in Hammond’s backyard

– Find Purple Keycard inside Hammond’s house

– Exit via South Gate

– Follow road through valley to dam

– Climb to top of dam and Exit


You should spot a door to the left of the main gate. Enter the small room

and use the keypad to enter the unlock code. The code is written on the

wall. While it may look like BIGLIE from this angle, imagine it turned upside

down and you will get 317618. You could also get into town via the sewer

system further down to the left but who wants to smell like “that”.


A map of the town is posted inside the wall showing you the location of the

Ops Center – probably not a bad choice of first places to visit. Make a

mental note of the two houses to either side of you – you will be returning

to both shortly. Head down Main Street stopping by the nice white houses

on the right. Raptors are up ahead – maybe even stalking you right now. The

large house contains a pair of AK-47’s and a in the back is a Tranquilizer

Pistol. Ignore that unless you are desperate – we don’t want them waking

back up.


You can use the telephone pole to get on the roof if you want to snipe some

dino’s from safety; otherwise, just keep heading into town. Shoot some

hoops across the street if you want, but your main goal is the Ops Center –

after a quick detour to the church.


A quick trip to the church to give thanks for your survival so far is probably

not a bad idea. Plus you will also find a BLUE KEYCARD in the room to the

left of the altar as well as a HK91, Tranquilizer Rifle and Tranquilizer

Pistol scattered about the place.


The Ops Center usually has several Raptors patrolling the perimeter. A

Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun is mounted on the wall to the right of the

step. Use it to take care of any pursuing dinos then enter the building. A

pair of AG-47’s are in the Animal Control Room. The Radio Room has nothing

but broken equipment and the door at the end can be opened with your

BLUE KEYCARD (aren’t you glad you went to church?).


Read the information on the clipboard to learn that Hammond has the

MASTER KEYCARD and Dr. Wu has the key to Hammond’s house. Other

important info is written on the walls in this room which gives you a clue of

what lies ahead. The security panel is critical to your next step, so go up to

it and press the red “A” button to unlock the gates to Dr. Wu’s estate. You

can now leave the Ops Center and head towards Wu’s house.


If you haven’t already visited them, the Barracks to the right and the Gas

Station and Restaurant directly ahead of you all contain weapons and a

few Raptors lurking around corners. Explore as much as you want (or need

to) but make sure you end up at Dr. Wu’s.


Once you are inside Dr. Wu’s house you should find a RED KEYCARD in the

kitchen. A Redhawk is upstairs on a shelf if you need another weapon,

otherwise head for the big house across the street.


Once inside the wall, head to the backyard and look for a triangle shaped

rock near the back corner of the yard. Behind the rock is a WHITE

KEYCARD. Enter the house through the backdoor and head left. Locate the

secret room behind the bookshelf to get the FLOPPY DISK. Now comes one

of the hardest puzzles of the game.


Head for the staircase and using the three boxes – make steps leading up so

you can jump to the upper portion of the remaining stairs. Use the corner

and walls if necessary and get two boxes stacked about halfway between

the upper and lower portions. Then jump from the lower stairs to the boxes

then finally to the upper portion, double-jumping if necessary to stay up.

Make sure you also have the DISK and WHITE KEYCARD at this point,

otherwise you are going to have to go get them and do this all again.


At the top of the stairs is a Stun Gun; pretty worthless, so ignore it. In

Hammond’s bedroom is a powerful little pistol. Take the Lady’s Model Pistol

with you on your way out and ONLY use it at close range. While it will bring

down a Raptor with a single shot – it aims poorly and is only effective at

point-blank range. Before you can take this weapon you need to get rid of

your current items, so head to the door that requires that WHITE

KEYCARD.


Use Hammond’s computer to listen to his diary – this requires the floppy

from downstairs, then take the PURPLE KEYCARD and leave this place.

Don’t forget that sidearm in the bedroom! Head downstairs and out the

back and leave the estate. Continue across the town toward the South Gate

and use the PURPLE KEYCARD to open it and exit the town.


Follow the road out of town past a frightening pair of Rex’s as they are

engaged in some hunting. Head up over the hill and down the road towards

the large rocks. Raptors are hiding behind most of these rocks and they will

stalk you in true pack-hunter fashion. Do not get distracted by one Raptor

only to get eaten from behind. Always keep your weapons with the most

ammo ready and rearm whenever you find new weapons. A PAC-10 and Belle

Shotgun should be lying along the road on the right after you pass a few

rocks.


You can navigate around the first hole in the road but the second gap will

force you into the valley where you will face at least four or five Raptors.

Try to take them on one at a time. If you don’t put them down after a

couple of shots then move on to the next and hope they don’t follow. Your

objective is the Flood Control Building at the base of the Dam.


A switch inside this building opens one of the steel gates at the bottom of

the dam, but you are still going to need a boost to get inside. If Raptors are

still patrolling the valley you may just want to make a dash for the stairs at

the other side of the dam. If you have cleared the valley and want to get

the pair of SB5 Machine Guns from inside the dam, head over to the stairs

and get a box. Take it back to the dam and place it beneath the door and

use it as a step to get inside and claim your prize.


Climb the steps to get to the top of the dam. A Tranquilizer Rifle is up here

if you need a weapon. This is minor resistance between this point and the

end of the level, but anything helps. Only a pair of Raptors guarding the

trail remain, so kill or wound them and head for the gate at the end of the

road.




Harbor and Lab – Harbor Patrol


Objectives:


– Crack code for main gate

– Find Yellow Keycard in Harbor Master’s Office

– Find info in office on location of Green Keycard

– Find Green Keycard in Atlantic container

– Exit Harbor to Lab Complex

– Find Purple Keycard

– Find Red Keycard and Computer Door Code

– Reboot CRAY

– Exit Level via Paddock Area


Stripped of weapons again you must rearm yourself with the Desert Eagle

and Hunting Rifle located in the weapons locker along the wall behind you.

Head down the road and give the T-Rex and Triceratops a wide berth as

they battle. Continue to the gate with the abandoned bus. A keypad opens

the gate once you learn the code. Looking around you should see a STOP

sign and on the back is the number 1018.


Of course that would be too easy. Assuming this number was written do the

bus driver could read it out of his rearview mirror, that would make the

correct number 8101. Once the gate is open you can enter and grab that HK

VP70 which is a good trade-up from the pistol you currently have.


The harbor complex is a big place but there are few objective and they

must be done in a specific order. Feel free to explore the various areas at

your discretion. There are weapons galore in the warehouses as well as a

gun at the crane and even some over by the gas pumps. The shipwrecked

EMILY is an interested place to visit, but watch out for a very nasty T-Rex

with a bad attitude back by the warehouses. Visit these places and rearm as

the Raptors deplete your ammo.


The Harbor Master’s Office is the first place you must visit. Break away

some of the window supports to enter, then search the bathroom to find the

YELLOW KEYCARD. Grab the SB5 w/ Silencer behind the boxes if you

wish then head to the big central building. This is the main office and

requires the YELLOW KEYCARD to enter.


The only thing you are looking for in this building is a CLUE to the location

of the GREEN KEYCARD. Upstairs and to the rear is a message which tells

you the card can be found in the ATLANTIC. Rather than heading for the

ocean, try to recall that big cargo container over by the crane tilted at the

crazy angle. Printed on the side is ATLANTIC. Now to find a way inside

that thing…


You should find a trailer over by the cargo containers. Shoot or knock out

the supports so the trailer tips over against the building. Use crates to get

onto the trailer then onto the roof of the building. Next, jump to the tin

roof of the gas station, then to the top of the bus. From the bus, you can

jump to each container until you reach the rear of the ATLANTIC box

which is open. Down at the bottom under some water is the GREEN

KEYCARD. Take it and return to the ground then exit through the gate with

the green lock.


Raptors patrol the road leading away from the harbor. Take care of them as

you make your way to the Lab Complex. When you reach the complex you

again have the freedom to search at your leisure. You have a few main goals

which I will outline in detail.


Starting with the Bio-lab, head around to the back and climb up onto the

dumpster and into the window. Explore the building and get the PURPLE

KEYCARD from the upstairs laboratory. Your exit from this building is also

upstairs. Locate the open window that leads to the L-shaped canopy. Jump

out the window and follow the canopy to the Administration building and

enter through that window.


You need to find Hammond’s office located upstairs through some double

doors to the left. Locate the computer door code (526327) and the RED

KEYCARD which is in Hammond’s private washroom. Leave this building and

head to the third and final building. Use the RED KEYCARD to get past the

first door then enter the code to get past the security door.


Once inside the computer room, you need to reboot the CRAY Super

Computer. This is done by pressing a certain sequence of colored buttons.

The code is displayed on the back wall so start pressing the buttons as soon

as you hit the Master Switch just inside the door. The screens will come to

life and Hammond will talk during the entire process. When everything is up

and running and you heard a voice confirmation, you can leave this room

and head for the paddock behind the Administration building.


Open the far right door on the paddock and kill the Raptor. There is a

Barret .50 Caliber Mounted Machine Gun just outside the door, but I could

never lure him out to use it. Use the board to get on top of the wall and into

the next cell. Use the barrels to get onto the crate then onto the next wall

and drop into the narrow passage. Follow this passage around until you

reach the door which exits this level.




Ascent 1 – Ancient Ruins


Objectives:


– Travel through the main valley

– Follow coastline to reach second valley

– Travel through second valley

– Climb the deadly steps

– Explore the Ruins

– Locate the Temple and its Guardian

– Climb the mountain path


Prepare to cross the most dangerous stretch of ground in the entire game.

The long valley that stretches out in front of you is full of hostile and

hungry dinosaurs and your weapons are limited. As always, if you fail to put

down your target in 2 or 3 shots, try to out-run the wounded animal instead.

Stealth is a key factor in getting across this valley. Stay low and out of site

and always check your six for those crafty raptors who will sneak up

behind you. So pick two of the three available weapons Bennelli Shotgun,

Redhawk or the Toxin Rifle and enter the valley.


NOTE: The Toxin Rifle is the only weapon which can take down a T-Rex. If

you think you are good enough to make it to the end of this level with only a

single inventory slot, you can try taking it now and battle the T-Rex at the

Pyramid. This will be your only chance to bag the big guy. Best of luck!


Head into the valley and keep a sharp eye out for lurking dinos. The valley

drops down to the lower valley in various sections; each marked with a

small, but sheer drop-off. An Albertosaurus will be your first encounter

and you really don’t have the ammo to kill him. If he sees you he will hunt

you relentlessly until you get past the first drop-off. Give him a wide berth

and use trees and rocks to hide from his view.


A pair of Raptors are lurking up ahead. One Raptor will charge at you while

the other won’t be as aggressive. Wound or kill them both before

proceeding through this next section. The remain of a previous adventure

contain a Hunting Rifle and extra ammo. Keep advancing through the valley.

Always keep a lookout for Raptors ahead of you. If you spot them first you

can plan the best attack or route around them.


After a few more of the small drop-offs you will spot some large rocks

ahead of you. A Raptor is hiding behind one and behind another are two

Desert Eagles. Proceed to the clearing ahead where an unlucky hunter has

left you a pair of Bennelli Shotguns. When you are fully armed, proceed up

the steep slope to the cliff. Watch for Raptors that move in from the sides

and behind.


After you have admired the ocean view, take a minute to upgrade one of

your weapons to the AG-47 with drum magazine. This weapon will last a

long time – maybe even to the ruins. If you are quick you can dodge the

attacking Raptors and they may fall off the cliff. If not, you can often

shoot them and send them over the cliff. Otherwise, just kill or wound them

enough to get away and proceed down the coastline.


As you follow the coastline you will soon arrive at a pair of Raptors

fighting a Stegosaurus. They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them so

walk around the encounter and head inland to the valley ahead. As you

enter this new valley a pair of nasty Raptors will attack. Teach them some

respect for automatic firearms then head over to the wrecked jeep to find

an HK91.


The valley now hooks back to the right. Stay along the right side to avoid

the Albertosaurus up ahead. If he spots you he will aggressively pursue you.

You can use the big rock to lose him long enough to make your escape to the

wrecked jeep ahead. Personally, I had this guy running laps around the rock

chasing me. Once he finally was on the backside of the rock I made a dash

for the jeep and all he could do was roar in anger.


Grab the Hunting Rifle and extra ammo near the skeleton remains then head

for the stone stair structure. A pair of Raptors will attack and pursue you

to the stairs if you don’t kill them fast. The stairs are quite challenging

with several “Indiana Jones-style” traps that will kill you instantly. If you

aren’t up for the challenge you can always take the high-road to the right

of the stairs. It winds around and will bypass the stairs and even part of

the city ruins ahead.


The stairs feature two types of traps and both are easily defeated/avoided

when you know what they are. The first are giant stone wall slabs that will

fall if you walk past them. You can always spot these slaps as they stick out

from the walls about 12 inches and don’t quite match the textures of the

rest of the structure. Run past (and away from) these slabs to trigger them.

You will always want to trip at least one of these traps per level so you can

escape the stair trap.


The stairs are trapped with huge stone heads that will come rolling down

the stairs as you start up them. When the stone starts to roll down just back

up and sidestep to the side that you have already sprung the wall trap.

Sometimes (due to the physics model) the stone head will get stuck on the

stairs. If this happens you are safe to walk up as it will not come down any

further. Be VERY careful of the stairs as you go higher up this structure.

Sometimes the head will not trigger until you are several steps into the

climb. If this is the case you CANNOT backup fast enough to dodge the

stone – you MUST turn so you can RUN forward then sidestep out of

harm’s way.


The ruins ahead are infested with Raptors. Stay on guard as you explore

the various buildings for a variety of weapons. Keep an eye out for more of

the wall segments that will fall and kill you instantly. Continue through the

city to the large pyramid ahead and meet the huge T-Rex that rules this

area. He will probably charge at you before you make it up the hill to the

pyramid. If so, simply retreat back into one of the buildings and tease him

until he is behind a building. Then make a mad dash for the Pyramid and

climb the steps.


A stone head will roll down the steps which you can easily sidestep. The

T-Rex will have returned by now and should be roaring in anger. He may

even get hit with the head as it hits the ground below. There is a

Tranquilizer Rifle on the pyramid, but nothing will touch the T-Rex except

for that Toxin Rifle from the beginning of this level.


Since killing Mr. T probably isn’t an option, you are going to have to trick

him. He will always try to take the most direct route in his attempt to eat

you. You can use this to your advantage by dropping down the side of the

pyramid closest to the city. Stop when you reach the lowest level of the

pyramid (one step up from the ground). Peek around the corner and get the

big guy’s attention. When he comes after you run around to the back corner

and repeat. When he follows you to this corner run along the back of the

pyramid then along the other side.


You should now be back to the front of the pyramid where you can drop to

the ground and run up the mountain trail. Even if the T-Rex caught onto

your plan, he is too slow to make up the distance before you exit this level.

A few easy obstacles like a gap and a bridge are all that stand between you

and the next level.




Ascent 2 – Race to the Top


Objectives:


– Escape certain death

– Follow the ravine

– Climb the large stones

– Locate the stone pillars

– Climb the switchbacks

– Navigate bridges and planks

– Use trailer to cross gap

– Activate elevator remotely to exit


You start this level facing a hungry Raptor. A Redhawk is in the weapons

box ahead of you, but it’s a tight race. Whether you get the gun or now you

need to walk/slide down the left side. You may take a little damage but the

Raptor won’t follow.


If you got the gun back up top you can head out into the valley where

several Raptors and an Albertosaurus are just waiting to give you an unfair

fight. If you didn’t get the gun, or you just don’t feel like dealing with all

those dinos, then stick to the low and narrow ravine to the left. This will

lead you all the way to the Giant Rocks and you won’t have to fight a single

dino getting there.


Of course if you are a “danger seeker” or are trying to kill everything you

meet, then by all means, visit the Ruins where you will find an AG-47 and a

pair of Raptors. You may even get lucky and kill a dino by pushing some

crumbling ruins on top of them. Of course since you chose this route you

are now obligated to fight the Albertosaurus. You are going to need to put

this bad boy to sleep before you can kill him, so unless you have a

Tranquilizer Pistol you better try Plan “B” – RUN! Otherwise, unload all

your darts into him and he will doze off for about a minute. Run up and

unload your other weapon into his head and he may just die.


Whether you took the safe and cowardly route or the dangerous and

exciting route, you will soon arrive at some very large rocks. Start on the

hill to the left to get onto the first rock then jump from rock to rock until

you get onto the next plateau which overlooks a valley that splits into two

paths.


Start down the hill keeping to the right. Take care of the Raptors as you

start to go back up the next hill which soon turns into a mountain. Follow

the trail and cross the stone bridge where another Raptor needs your swift

attention. Your next bridge is in pretty bad shape. You can try to jump over

the gap or do a balance beam walk along one of the rails. Once you cross,

you can head up the path to get some new weapons; a Hunting Rifle and

Redhawk.


Head down the valley to the right of the weapons stash where three more

Raptors are searching for food. Kill or wound them to get by and climb up

into the upper valley. Keep going until the valley drops down to the right and

up to the left. The left is a short but steep climb to a dead end, so turn and

head right. You should soon see some stone pillars at the base of a huge

mountain.


Explore the pillars to find a pair of Bennelli Shotguns that you will most

certainly need as you begin the long trek up this mountain. Kill (or wound)

the first pair of Raptors that greet you as you start up the mountain trail.

Follow the switchbacks as you make a very steep climb and you will soon

come to some large white rocks. Another pair of Raptors are waiting on the

rocks for you. Kill them or better yet, force them off the side of the

mountain and watch them roll to the bottom.


Continue up the mountain and you will soon find a Hunting Rifle and Desert

Eagle. After you are rearmed continue up more switchbacks and you will

come to another pair of Raptors. Blast them and claim the AG-47 as your

reward. Continue to the wooden bridge that is very much like the teetering

platform from Level 1. Push, drop, or throw a box onto the near side of the

bridge to anchor it to the ground. Now you can run up the ramp and jump to

the other side.


More switchbacks and another dead Raptor later you should arrive at the

worst bridge yet. You can carefully jump across the gaps in the bridge or

better yet, jump onto the rail and balance beam walk across. If you can

walk a straight line this is much easier (and safer) than jumping. A Bennelli

Shotgun and Hunting Rifle are waiting for you on the other side.


The next two obstacles are pretty basic. Grab a rock and toss it onto the

board to lower it down, then run up the board to the next level. The

mountain road ahead is patrolled by a pair of Raptors. You can get the SB5

Machine Gun or if you can outrun the Raptors try to make it to the Browning

M2 which is mounted on the crate. You can blow apart both Raptors with

ammo to spare if they don’t eat you first. Go up the road and get the

Hunting Rifle and extra ammo from the back of the truck then go around

the truck to the right.


The next obstacle is pretty silly but easily solved. Shoot the pivoting board

until it spins around to make a bridge then cross over to the other side. The

boxes ahead will let you jump into the truck where you can claim one or

both of the Redhawks before tackling the three Raptors up around the

bend. Soon you will arrive at a trailer with stacked crates and a AG-47

with drum magazine.


Jump up the boxes to get onto the trailer then walk out until it tilts forward

creating a makeshift bridge. As soon as it tilts, run across and quickly jump

to the other side as the trailer crashes down the side of the mountain. The

trail ends at a sheer cliff wall with a forklift type elevator.


The elevator is controlled by a pair of switches and you must maintain a

constant pressure on the switches to move the platform. Use the switch

furthest from the elevator to lower the platform to ground level. Now go

move the crate which is between the other switch and a sheet of plywood.

Now go stand on the elevator and shoot or throw something at the board to

make it fall onto the switch and raise you to the Summit.




The Summit – Final Conflict


Objectives:


– Find some weapons FAST!

– Get on the roof – Find way into Radio Room

– Extend drawbridge

– Follow mountain path

– Climb the tower using ramps

– Survive the Final Encounter

– Scale the fence to reach Helipad


This is it – it all boils down to the final level. You start at the top of the

elevator on the platform facing a large array of windmills. At least two

Raptors are already alerted to your presence and are approaching at this

very moment. A weapons locker lies directly ahead so race up and get the

Bennelli Shotgun and Desert Eagle then run back to the platform.


Start shooting as the Raptors charge. If you can’t kill them you can at least

force one or maybe both of them off the edge of the elevator. When things

have calmed down you can find the second weapons locker to the right

which contain a Calico SB5 and a Redhawk. The stairs in the back corner

are your next major goal but there are a few things to do down here first.


Go to the back corner (by the stairs) and find the trash dumpster. Use it to

get to the roof of the building then jump across to the next building with

the open skylight. Drop down into the radio room and hit the EMERGENCY

BEACON button. This summons your rescue chopper and extends the bridge

leading from the stairs outside over to the mountain trail. Grab the HK VP70

pistol on your way out of the now-unlocked door. On your way back to the

stairs you can enter that building with the trash dumpster and load up on

fresh weapons. You should find a Belle Shotgun and HK VP70 pistol in this

building. Climb the stairs and cross over to the mountain trail where a pair

of Raptors greet you. You can kill or wound them as usually or you can even

lead them back to the steel bridge and try to get them to fall off.


A third Raptor will attempt a sneak attack (guess I ruined that surprise) so

deal with him then continue up the stairs and grab the Belle Shotgun on the

landing. Another Raptor spots you as you reach the top. Deal with him

swiftly and he won’t even get a chance to bite you. Continue up another

metal stairway and get another Belle Shotgun.


The mountain path splits and Raptors are everywhere. Watch for sneak

attacks from above by a pair of Raptors who aren’t afraid of heights and

will jump down right on top of you. If you go down the left branch you will

still fight the same Raptors but you will get a Redhawk for your troubles.


You should now be at a large steel tower with spiraling ramps leading to the

top. Climb up the ramps until you reach the summit. The partial remains of a

previous adventurer greet you as you jump off the ramp. Take his HK 91

Rifle as he won’t be needing it anymore although it looks like he used about

half your ammo already.


You can move about freely up top as long as you stay along the outer edge.

As soon as you venture near the middle of the complex a pair of Raptors

will almost magically materialize out of thin air and attack from opposite

ends of the compound. Attack them quickly as they are only a minor

diversion for the giant Alpha Raptor who rules this area. Unload everything

you got into these guys – everybody MUST die. A Belle Shotgun with only

partial shells remaining is in the open building – it may come in handy.


Once everyone is dead and you have caught your breath you need to start

building some steps out of those three crates in the center of the compound.

Use two of them to get onto the first level and throw a third one up so it is

waiting to help you onto the top. Now you can jump over the electric fence

and walk out onto the Helipad. The sound of the approaching chopper and

Hammond’s closing narration mark the end of your adventure on Jurassic

Park’s Site B Complex.

Sinjin’s Trespasser Walkthrough
Posted on August 2, 2013 at 6:47 pm



Tresspasser – Version 1.0 – 11/12/98

Sinjin’s Survival Guide to Site B (c) 1998 by Mark Smith


Introduction – Welcome to Jurassic Park Site B


Trespasser is a game like no other. It features incredible real-life physics

and some of the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) ever seen in a

computer game. In fact, everything is so life-like that you will find real-life

solutions to real-life problems. This means that there are virtually endless

solutions and possibilities for any of the puzzles you will encounter on your

adventure.


To that end, this walkthrough will not furnish you with a linear progression

through the island. That would spoil the entire game since you have virtually

unlimited freedom of movement within each of the game’s levels. What this

walkthrough will do is outline each of the levels, the dinosaurs you may

encounter, and the various objectives/checkpoints you need to visit to

complete each level. You can visit these checkpoints in any order you choose

or even choose to ignore a certain path if you wish.


I have included small maps for each section of the island. These maps

include critical waypoints and other interesting places to visit. Their layout

is generally correct with regards to direction although there is no scale or

relationship to actual distance from one waypoint to the next. Remember,

you can explore each section of this game in total freedom. Aside from a

few critical items you must find to complete the various puzzles, you could

conceivably ignore my maps and text and figure out most of this game on

your own.


So when you are ready, prepare to enter Jurassic Park Site B. You are not

welcome….you were not invited… you are the TRESPASSER!





The Beach – The Training Area


Objectives:


– Leave beach and climb hill

– Learn how to manipulate objects

– Practice climbing and jumping

– Learn how to aim and fire weapons

– Uses boxes to get over wall

– Cross first gap in path

– Meet Brachiosaurus

– Cross second gap in path

– Kill the Raptor

– Climb the teetering ramp

– Find the Monorail Station and Exit


This first level is basically a training area for you to get the feel for the

interface, moving, jumping, and manipulating various objects. You begin

your adventure on the beach at the site of your plane crash. Explore the

area, play in the water, then head inland toward the big white rock to the

left when you are ready.


Jump up the rock then walk up the narrow sloped ledge of the hill to make

your way to the top. You will find the ruins of some sort of foundation for

a structure that was never completed. Here you will see several barrels,

boards and crates. Play around with these and practice picking them up,

twisting them and throwing them around. When you are comfortable with

how your arm works, head inland to the concrete structure.


Practice your climbing and jumping to get to the top of the wall. Toss some

barrels off the side and enjoy the view when you reach the top. Head back

down and make your way to the first wall and the gate. Walk into the gate

to knock it over.


This next area has the first of a huge variety of firearms you will find and

use in this game. You can carry two items at a time so grab a couple

weapons and start shooting things. Boxes and cans are stacked around this

area for your shooting pleasure. You will even find some rocks you can

throw when you finally run out of ammo. You may want to hang onto at least

one gun before leaving this area.


The next gate isn’t as easy as the first. You will need to jump onto the

various boxes and crates to get over the wall. Move them around to make

steps if you need to. Leap over the wall from the top of the box and

continue along the road. Checkout the billboard as you continue further

inland. Soon you will arrive at a deep ditch in the road with 3 crates. An old

truck off to the right hides a Hunting Rifle which you can get before

solving the first of many crate-puzzles. Knock the crates over and use one

or more of them as a step to get out of the depression on the other side.


Once you have made it across some music will accompany the arrival of a

pair of Brachiosaurs in the valley below. They won’t bother with you so

watch as long as you want before moving down the road to the next ditch

and more boxes. This puzzle is a bit more challenging. Pick up one of the

conveniently placed rocks and toss it at the stack of crates. You should aim

for the top so you knock one of the smaller boxes into the ditch. Use the

box to jump out of the depression and continue around the bend.


As you enter the next valley you should spot an abandoned truck down to

the left. Approach the truck and find the Desert Eagle .44 and Baseball Bat.

Arm yourself as you see fit then continue along the path towards the small

cliff and wooden structure.


About this time your first hostile dinosaur is probably charging at you from

behind. Turn and kill the Raptor then solve the ramp puzzle. There are

multiple ways to solve this puzzle. You can climb the beam and jump to the

platform then run up it and jump to the top of the cliff, or you can toss a

rock on the non-cliff side of the plank to make it lower down so you can

run and jump, or you can go under the platform and jump up to lower the

other side down to where you can run up and jump over. This is typical of

most of the puzzles in Trespasser, and in the future I will only be telling

you the way “I solved each particular puzzle”. Feel free to find alternate

and possibly better ways to do things.


Follow the road until you come to a weapons locker (white box) with a

Desert Eagle inside. A Raptor is attacking from the right just about now, so

you’d better kill it. Continue following the road until you finally arrive at

the Monorail Station. Climb the stairs and listen to the broken recorded

greeting. Then jump out onto the tracks and head toward the wood fence.

Jump the gap in the track using the narrow beam to gain extra jumping

distance. Finally jump off the end of the track, over the wall, and into the

next area.




Jungle Road – The Monorail Trail


Objectives:


– Follow Monorail supports

– Search shed at recreation area

– Watch the Triceratops vs. the Raptors

– Search the Plantation house

– Use the Call Box

– Use crane to get on Monorail

– Walk/jump along broken Monorail to Exit


As you explore this next section of the island, always try to keep the

monorail supports in view. These are your guide to the end of this part of

the island. If you haven’t noticed, you have NO WEAPONS. This will be the

case when you start each of the following sections. Fortunately there are

always weapons nearby at the beginning of each level so grab the Desert

Eagle out of the box and follow the trail of monorail supports.


To the left you should see barrels and pieces of monorail parts. Buried in

all of this is a T-Rex Tooth; certainly not the best weapon you could want,

but it will kill at close range. As you follow the monorail you should soon

come across a Smith & Wesson 686 (that’s a gun – not a computer). You will

also spot a Jawbone which also makes a good weapon, but remember, you

can only carry 2 items and range weapons like guns are ALWAYS better

than slashing weapons.


Soon you will arrive at a small clearing where a Stegosaurus is wandering

around eating some plants. Further down the road are a pair or Raptors who

are stalking this big fella. You can either kill the Raptor (and save the

Steg), or try to sneak past them all and hope the Raptors are more

concerned with their hunt than with you.


At the end of the road is a small cliff with the large box you can use the

Helmet or fire one of your weapons to knock a box down from the concrete

rails. Move the box over and use it as a step to get onto the bigger box and

finally up to the top of the cliff. You can avoid this puzzle entirely by just

walking around to the left but you really should get some practice – later

you will have to do things like this.


You will soon arrive at a small recreation area which consists of a shack,

some horseshoes, and a basketball. A Raptor is hiding behind the shed and

he isn’t here to “shoot hoops”. After you give him a permanent “timeout” you

can get the Desert Eagle from under the trashcan and knock away the

boards to get the Bennelli Shotgun from inside the shack.


A crashed jeep down in the valley has a Ruger Redhawk but you should be

fully armed at this point so why bother. Follow the trail that continues on to

the right of the shack. It will wind around to the left and eventually

overlook a valley where a Triceratops is squaring off against a hungry pair

of Raptors.


You can watch the fight and see who wins (the outcome is not scripted), or

you can sneak around to the right or left while they battle. Heading left

leads to the old Plantation House which contains nothing of value and is

guarded by at least a single Raptor. If you want to sightsee and kill another

dino then go check it out. You can continue past the house and past the lone

Parasaurolophus to bypass many of the obstacle you would encounter if you

went right back at the battle. You would eventually wind around and end up

at the Crane.


If you do go right then continue to the waterfall and turn left and head up

the hill. Further up an even higher hill to the left (back by the battle) is a

pretty cool stone ceremonial circle that overlooks the valley. There is

nothing of interest there but you may want to enjoy the view. Continue along

the designated trail to reach a call box.


No matter what you dial you will get an annoying recorded message saying

the phone is out of order. You really didn’t think it was going to be that

easy? Climb up the boxes and jump to the lower part of the sloped monorail

track. Head up the track until you reach the stacked crates. A pair of

hungry Raptors should be circling below. You can try hitting them with the

crates but you will probably need to kill them with more conventional

weapons before it’s all over.


Drop down to the stack of boxes to avoid taking serious injury then to the

ground where you will find a Bennelli Shotgun on the ground and a

Redhawk in the white weapons locker. Continue along the valley until you

reach a tower of large crates with a few lone boxes on the top. One of

these boxes has an Calico SB5 on it which you can possess if you can shoot

the box off the stack of crates. You will also find a Redhawk lying on the

ground in this area. Once you have these new weapons, drag the box over to

the larger box against the short cliff and climb up to continue.


Continue along until you reach a deep valley. A Stegosaurus wanders around

this area and he is being stalked by a pack of Raptors. They are hiding in

the woods to the right so head down the left side of the valley to put some

distance between you and the fight. If they attack you will have plenty of

time to line up some headshots. Continue on until you reach the Crane.


To the right of the crane is a Barrett .50 Caliber Mounted Sniper Rifle. You

can’t take this baby with you, but you can sure have some fun. Kill any of

the Raptors hanging around this area, or any that followed you from the

hunt. If you have any ammo left over you can shoot the crates off the

monorail track just for practice.


When you are ready to continue, climb the arm of the crane and get into the

basket. Then jump over to the tracks and start to follow them. Knock off

any crates that get in your way and jump over any gaps. If you fall, you can

always go back and start over or you can just continue along the ground.

While you are safer in the air, the falls may do more damage than the

Raptors ahead of you.


Eventually you will come to a big gap in the track that will force you to the

ground. A sloped piece of track puts you back on the next piece of rail and

you must stay on this track to finish. Falling at this point is almost certainly

fatal and there are many Raptors which are waiting below to feast on fresh

meat. Halfway along this track you will see a shack to the left with a

Hunting Rifle on the roof. If you are hard-up for weapons you can jump

over and get it, but this is a one-way trip and you will have to run along the

ground, either back to the beginning of this section of track or to the next

crane that leads to the third monorail section.


When you reach the crane you will want to get on the ground and explore to

find the Desert Eagle by the crane and the Bennelli Shotgun in the weapons

locker. Climb up to the final section of the track and climb the boxes. Look

straight down and then drop right onto the narrow beam that leads to the

next rail.


Continue along and climb over more boxes. You will eventually reach the

end of the track and exit this area of the island. If you fall, you can

always fight the raptors and exit up the small hill. Either way leads to the

end.




Industrial Jungle – Jungle of Death


Objectives:


– Follow the dry riverbed

– Avoid the T-Rex

– Follow rocky gorge

– Cross the fallen tree

– Climb the black stone steps

– Avoid the Albertosaurus

– Climb the crane to enter the town


This level get pretty difficult at the beginning with lots of predators and

not very many weapons. If you fail to kill a dinosaur after 2 or 3 shots you

may just want to run away assuming the wounded dino isn’t pursuing you.

This trick will work almost anywhere in the game.


You start in a dry riverbed. Behind you is a Hunting Rifle which you will

need in a minute. As you follow the gully you will soon come to a second

Hunting Rifle. When the riverbed makes a left turn you will spot a slope to

the right. If you climb this hill you will find a wrecked motorcycle and a

Redhawk. Since you should be fully armed at this point you can skip the

climb unless you want to sightsee.


There are several Raptors in the Gorge ahead. While you can kill them from

the safety of the Motorcycle Overlook, chances are you will be more

accurate with your shots if you just face then down below. Continue on to

the giant tree which has fallen into the ravine. Past the tree is a wrecked

truck where you can rearm with a Desert Eagle lying on a crate and a HK 91

Rifle lying in the bed of the truck.


Continue down the trail past more fallen trees until you reach a pair of

Raptors fighting. You can try to sneak by them while they battle or wait

until one is dead then kill the survivor. If you do sneak by, watch out for a

rear attack by the surviving Raptor if you don’t clear his territory fast

enough. The trail narrows and the walls get higher and another Raptor

awaits around the bend.


The next Raptor you encounter will stop and watch you from the shadow of

a jeep balanced on the cliff above. A single shot should bring the jeep

crashing down onto the Raptor – probably the only dino you will ever kill

with a single shot in this game.


Continue out of the gorge past the large rock and out into the open valley

where a T-Rex is fighting a pair of Raptors. Give these guys a lot of

distance and you can just walk past the fight. Stay far to the left and if

the T-Rex spots you simply freeze – remember – they can’t see you if you

don’t move. Once past the battlezone, you will find another abandoned

truck with a Hunting Rifle.


Past the truck and to the left is a waterfall. Down in the valley is a

Parasaurolophus who is under attack from the T-Rex. Stay up on the hill by

the waterfall for a ringside seat at the fight. When it’s over, or when you

get tired of watching, enter the rocky gorge ahead.


Grab the HK VP70 at the wreck and follow the gorge to the giant skeleton.

Three Raptors are in this area, although all might not be visible when you

first enter. Kill them quickly, leading them back into the gorge if necessary

so they can’t surround you. When it’s safe, continue up the path into even

more dangerous ground.


You will arrive on a very narrow ledge that wraps around the left side of a

deep canyon. Down below are many Raptors and a wrecked helicopter. Kill

as many Raptors as you can from the safety of the ledge. When the trail

ends, drop down and kill the rest. Run to the helicopter to find a SB5K

Machine Gun and a Redhawk if you need to rearm. You can also find a

powerful AG-47 on a very narrow ledge to the right just beyond the wreck.


Continue up and out of the canyon and circle around to the left. You should

be high up on the cliff overlooking the canyon with the helicopter wreck. A

giant tree spans the gap and this is your bridge. Walk carefully and prepare

to fight some Raptors waiting on the other side. Head down into the valley

toward the black rocks in the distance.


These rocks are a real pain to climb. Make sure you are jumping to the

lowest possible next step. Sometime you will even have to look for a small

chip knocked out of the rock and jump onto that angled edge and even

double-jump to make it to the top. You will have to cross back and forth to

slowly make your way up. Once on top you can survey the valley below.


Directly beneath you is a small (but deep) lake. Line yourself up with the

lake and jump off feet first – no diving in this game. Exit the lake and make

a dash for the jeep ahead and to the left where a mounted Browning

Machine Gun offers some defense against the Raptors and Albertosaur in

this area.


Past this encounter you will come across another great battle. Two Raptors

are attacking a Parasaurolophus. You can simply avoid this battle by keeping

close to the cliff on the left as you continue toward the power line towers.

A shack in this area contains a PAC-10, Sledgehammer and Rebar. Take the

gun if you need it – the rest is pretty worthless considering what’s ahead.

Follow the power line towers up the hill (numbers should be getting smaller

on the towers), past the wreck jeep and over to the airplane crash. You

should find a AG-47 w/ drum-magazine for serious firepower. Continue

down the road past another pair of Raptors attacking a Parasaurolophus.

Attack them only if they come after you.


Further down the road you will see a crane parked outside the wall to the

town. A pair of Raptors are along this road and there is no other prey to

distract them, so you will have to fight these guys. When you reach the

crane, climb up and onto the beam and them jump over the wall.




The Town – Back to Civilization?


Objectives:


– Crack code for main door

– Find Blue Keycard

– Unlock Dr. Wu’s door from Security Center

– Find Red Keycard in Dr. Wu’s house

– Explore Hammond’s Estate

– Find White Keycard in Hammond’s backyard

– Find Purple Keycard inside Hammond’s house

– Exit via South Gate

– Follow road through valley to dam

– Climb to top of dam and Exit


You should spot a door to the left of the main gate. Enter the small room

and use the keypad to enter the unlock code. The code is written on the

wall. While it may look like BIGLIE from this angle, imagine it turned upside

down and you will get 317618. You could also get into town via the sewer

system further down to the left but who wants to smell like “that”.


A map of the town is posted inside the wall showing you the location of the

Ops Center – probably not a bad choice of first places to visit. Make a

mental note of the two houses to either side of you – you will be returning

to both shortly. Head down Main Street stopping by the nice white houses

on the right. Raptors are up ahead – maybe even stalking you right now. The

large house contains a pair of AK-47’s and a in the back is a Tranquilizer

Pistol. Ignore that unless you are desperate – we don’t want them waking

back up.


You can use the telephone pole to get on the roof if you want to snipe some

dino’s from safety; otherwise, just keep heading into town. Shoot some

hoops across the street if you want, but your main goal is the Ops Center –

after a quick detour to the church.


A quick trip to the church to give thanks for your survival so far is probably

not a bad idea. Plus you will also find a BLUE KEYCARD in the room to the

left of the altar as well as a HK91, Tranquilizer Rifle and Tranquilizer

Pistol scattered about the place.


The Ops Center usually has several Raptors patrolling the perimeter. A

Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun is mounted on the wall to the right of the

step. Use it to take care of any pursuing dinos then enter the building. A

pair of AG-47’s are in the Animal Control Room. The Radio Room has nothing

but broken equipment and the door at the end can be opened with your

BLUE KEYCARD (aren’t you glad you went to church?).


Read the information on the clipboard to learn that Hammond has the

MASTER KEYCARD and Dr. Wu has the key to Hammond’s house. Other

important info is written on the walls in this room which gives you a clue of

what lies ahead. The security panel is critical to your next step, so go up to

it and press the red “A” button to unlock the gates to Dr. Wu’s estate. You

can now leave the Ops Center and head towards Wu’s house.


If you haven’t already visited them, the Barracks to the right and the Gas

Station and Restaurant directly ahead of you all contain weapons and a

few Raptors lurking around corners. Explore as much as you want (or need

to) but make sure you end up at Dr. Wu’s.


Once you are inside Dr. Wu’s house you should find a RED KEYCARD in the

kitchen. A Redhawk is upstairs on a shelf if you need another weapon,

otherwise head for the big house across the street.


Once inside the wall, head to the backyard and look for a triangle shaped

rock near the back corner of the yard. Behind the rock is a WHITE

KEYCARD. Enter the house through the backdoor and head left. Locate the

secret room behind the bookshelf to get the FLOPPY DISK. Now comes one

of the hardest puzzles of the game.


Head for the staircase and using the three boxes – make steps leading up so

you can jump to the upper portion of the remaining stairs. Use the corner

and walls if necessary and get two boxes stacked about halfway between

the upper and lower portions. Then jump from the lower stairs to the boxes

then finally to the upper portion, double-jumping if necessary to stay up.

Make sure you also have the DISK and WHITE KEYCARD at this point,

otherwise you are going to have to go get them and do this all again.


At the top of the stairs is a Stun Gun; pretty worthless, so ignore it. In

Hammond’s bedroom is a powerful little pistol. Take the Lady’s Model Pistol

with you on your way out and ONLY use it at close range. While it will bring

down a Raptor with a single shot – it aims poorly and is only effective at

point-blank range. Before you can take this weapon you need to get rid of

your current items, so head to the door that requires that WHITE

KEYCARD.


Use Hammond’s computer to listen to his diary – this requires the floppy

from downstairs, then take the PURPLE KEYCARD and leave this place.

Don’t forget that sidearm in the bedroom! Head downstairs and out the

back and leave the estate. Continue across the town toward the South Gate

and use the PURPLE KEYCARD to open it and exit the town.


Follow the road out of town past a frightening pair of Rex’s as they are

engaged in some hunting. Head up over the hill and down the road towards

the large rocks. Raptors are hiding behind most of these rocks and they will

stalk you in true pack-hunter fashion. Do not get distracted by one Raptor

only to get eaten from behind. Always keep your weapons with the most

ammo ready and rearm whenever you find new weapons. A PAC-10 and Belle

Shotgun should be lying along the road on the right after you pass a few

rocks.


You can navigate around the first hole in the road but the second gap will

force you into the valley where you will face at least four or five Raptors.

Try to take them on one at a time. If you don’t put them down after a

couple of shots then move on to the next and hope they don’t follow. Your

objective is the Flood Control Building at the base of the Dam.


A switch inside this building opens one of the steel gates at the bottom of

the dam, but you are still going to need a boost to get inside. If Raptors are

still patrolling the valley you may just want to make a dash for the stairs at

the other side of the dam. If you have cleared the valley and want to get

the pair of SB5 Machine Guns from inside the dam, head over to the stairs

and get a box. Take it back to the dam and place it beneath the door and

use it as a step to get inside and claim your prize.


Climb the steps to get to the top of the dam. A Tranquilizer Rifle is up here

if you need a weapon. This is minor resistance between this point and the

end of the level, but anything helps. Only a pair of Raptors guarding the

trail remain, so kill or wound them and head for the gate at the end of the

road.




Harbor and Lab – Harbor Patrol


Objectives:


– Crack code for main gate

– Find Yellow Keycard in Harbor Master’s Office

– Find info in office on location of Green Keycard

– Find Green Keycard in Atlantic container

– Exit Harbor to Lab Complex

– Find Purple Keycard

– Find Red Keycard and Computer Door Code

– Reboot CRAY

– Exit Level via Paddock Area


Stripped of weapons again you must rearm yourself with the Desert Eagle

and Hunting Rifle located in the weapons locker along the wall behind you.

Head down the road and give the T-Rex and Triceratops a wide berth as

they battle. Continue to the gate with the abandoned bus. A keypad opens

the gate once you learn the code. Looking around you should see a STOP

sign and on the back is the number 1018.


Of course that would be too easy. Assuming this number was written do the

bus driver could read it out of his rearview mirror, that would make the

correct number 8101. Once the gate is open you can enter and grab that HK

VP70 which is a good trade-up from the pistol you currently have.


The harbor complex is a big place but there are few objective and they

must be done in a specific order. Feel free to explore the various areas at

your discretion. There are weapons galore in the warehouses as well as a

gun at the crane and even some over by the gas pumps. The shipwrecked

EMILY is an interested place to visit, but watch out for a very nasty T-Rex

with a bad attitude back by the warehouses. Visit these places and rearm as

the Raptors deplete your ammo.


The Harbor Master’s Office is the first place you must visit. Break away

some of the window supports to enter, then search the bathroom to find the

YELLOW KEYCARD. Grab the SB5 w/ Silencer behind the boxes if you

wish then head to the big central building. This is the main office and

requires the YELLOW KEYCARD to enter.


The only thing you are looking for in this building is a CLUE to the location

of the GREEN KEYCARD. Upstairs and to the rear is a message which tells

you the card can be found in the ATLANTIC. Rather than heading for the

ocean, try to recall that big cargo container over by the crane tilted at the

crazy angle. Printed on the side is ATLANTIC. Now to find a way inside

that thing…


You should find a trailer over by the cargo containers. Shoot or knock out

the supports so the trailer tips over against the building. Use crates to get

onto the trailer then onto the roof of the building. Next, jump to the tin

roof of the gas station, then to the top of the bus. From the bus, you can

jump to each container until you reach the rear of the ATLANTIC box

which is open. Down at the bottom under some water is the GREEN

KEYCARD. Take it and return to the ground then exit through the gate with

the green lock.


Raptors patrol the road leading away from the harbor. Take care of them as

you make your way to the Lab Complex. When you reach the complex you

again have the freedom to search at your leisure. You have a few main goals

which I will outline in detail.


Starting with the Bio-lab, head around to the back and climb up onto the

dumpster and into the window. Explore the building and get the PURPLE

KEYCARD from the upstairs laboratory. Your exit from this building is also

upstairs. Locate the open window that leads to the L-shaped canopy. Jump

out the window and follow the canopy to the Administration building and

enter through that window.


You need to find Hammond’s office located upstairs through some double

doors to the left. Locate the computer door code (526327) and the RED

KEYCARD which is in Hammond’s private washroom. Leave this building and

head to the third and final building. Use the RED KEYCARD to get past the

first door then enter the code to get past the security door.


Once inside the computer room, you need to reboot the CRAY Super

Computer. This is done by pressing a certain sequence of colored buttons.

The code is displayed on the back wall so start pressing the buttons as soon

as you hit the Master Switch just inside the door. The screens will come to

life and Hammond will talk during the entire process. When everything is up

and running and you heard a voice confirmation, you can leave this room

and head for the paddock behind the Administration building.


Open the far right door on the paddock and kill the Raptor. There is a

Barret .50 Caliber Mounted Machine Gun just outside the door, but I could

never lure him out to use it. Use the board to get on top of the wall and into

the next cell. Use the barrels to get onto the crate then onto the next wall

and drop into the narrow passage. Follow this passage around until you

reach the door which exits this level.




Ascent 1 – Ancient Ruins


Objectives:


– Travel through the main valley

– Follow coastline to reach second valley

– Travel through second valley

– Climb the deadly steps

– Explore the Ruins

– Locate the Temple and its Guardian

– Climb the mountain path


Prepare to cross the most dangerous stretch of ground in the entire game.

The long valley that stretches out in front of you is full of hostile and

hungry dinosaurs and your weapons are limited. As always, if you fail to put

down your target in 2 or 3 shots, try to out-run the wounded animal instead.

Stealth is a key factor in getting across this valley. Stay low and out of site

and always check your six for those crafty raptors who will sneak up

behind you. So pick two of the three available weapons Bennelli Shotgun,

Redhawk or the Toxin Rifle and enter the valley.


NOTE: The Toxin Rifle is the only weapon which can take down a T-Rex. If

you think you are good enough to make it to the end of this level with only a

single inventory slot, you can try taking it now and battle the T-Rex at the

Pyramid. This will be your only chance to bag the big guy. Best of luck!


Head into the valley and keep a sharp eye out for lurking dinos. The valley

drops down to the lower valley in various sections; each marked with a

small, but sheer drop-off. An Albertosaurus will be your first encounter

and you really don’t have the ammo to kill him. If he sees you he will hunt

you relentlessly until you get past the first drop-off. Give him a wide berth

and use trees and rocks to hide from his view.


A pair of Raptors are lurking up ahead. One Raptor will charge at you while

the other won’t be as aggressive. Wound or kill them both before

proceeding through this next section. The remain of a previous adventure

contain a Hunting Rifle and extra ammo. Keep advancing through the valley.

Always keep a lookout for Raptors ahead of you. If you spot them first you

can plan the best attack or route around them.


After a few more of the small drop-offs you will spot some large rocks

ahead of you. A Raptor is hiding behind one and behind another are two

Desert Eagles. Proceed to the clearing ahead where an unlucky hunter has

left you a pair of Bennelli Shotguns. When you are fully armed, proceed up

the steep slope to the cliff. Watch for Raptors that move in from the sides

and behind.


After you have admired the ocean view, take a minute to upgrade one of

your weapons to the AG-47 with drum magazine. This weapon will last a

long time – maybe even to the ruins. If you are quick you can dodge the

attacking Raptors and they may fall off the cliff. If not, you can often

shoot them and send them over the cliff. Otherwise, just kill or wound them

enough to get away and proceed down the coastline.


As you follow the coastline you will soon arrive at a pair of Raptors

fighting a Stegosaurus. They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them so

walk around the encounter and head inland to the valley ahead. As you

enter this new valley a pair of nasty Raptors will attack. Teach them some

respect for automatic firearms then head over to the wrecked jeep to find

an HK91.


The valley now hooks back to the right. Stay along the right side to avoid

the Albertosaurus up ahead. If he spots you he will aggressively pursue you.

You can use the big rock to lose him long enough to make your escape to the

wrecked jeep ahead. Personally, I had this guy running laps around the rock

chasing me. Once he finally was on the backside of the rock I made a dash

for the jeep and all he could do was roar in anger.


Grab the Hunting Rifle and extra ammo near the skeleton remains then head

for the stone stair structure. A pair of Raptors will attack and pursue you

to the stairs if you don’t kill them fast. The stairs are quite challenging

with several “Indiana Jones-style” traps that will kill you instantly. If you

aren’t up for the challenge you can always take the high-road to the right

of the stairs. It winds around and will bypass the stairs and even part of

the city ruins ahead.


The stairs feature two types of traps and both are easily defeated/avoided

when you know what they are. The first are giant stone wall slabs that will

fall if you walk past them. You can always spot these slaps as they stick out

from the walls about 12 inches and don’t quite match the textures of the

rest of the structure. Run past (and away from) these slabs to trigger them.

You will always want to trip at least one of these traps per level so you can

escape the stair trap.


The stairs are trapped with huge stone heads that will come rolling down

the stairs as you start up them. When the stone starts to roll down just back

up and sidestep to the side that you have already sprung the wall trap.

Sometimes (due to the physics model) the stone head will get stuck on the

stairs. If this happens you are safe to walk up as it will not come down any

further. Be VERY careful of the stairs as you go higher up this structure.

Sometimes the head will not trigger until you are several steps into the

climb. If this is the case you CANNOT backup fast enough to dodge the

stone – you MUST turn so you can RUN forward then sidestep out of

harm’s way.


The ruins ahead are infested with Raptors. Stay on guard as you explore

the various buildings for a variety of weapons. Keep an eye out for more of

the wall segments that will fall and kill you instantly. Continue through the

city to the large pyramid ahead and meet the huge T-Rex that rules this

area. He will probably charge at you before you make it up the hill to the

pyramid. If so, simply retreat back into one of the buildings and tease him

until he is behind a building. Then make a mad dash for the Pyramid and

climb the steps.


A stone head will roll down the steps which you can easily sidestep. The

T-Rex will have returned by now and should be roaring in anger. He may

even get hit with the head as it hits the ground below. There is a

Tranquilizer Rifle on the pyramid, but nothing will touch the T-Rex except

for that Toxin Rifle from the beginning of this level.


Since killing Mr. T probably isn’t an option, you are going to have to trick

him. He will always try to take the most direct route in his attempt to eat

you. You can use this to your advantage by dropping down the side of the

pyramid closest to the city. Stop when you reach the lowest level of the

pyramid (one step up from the ground). Peek around the corner and get the

big guy’s attention. When he comes after you run around to the back corner

and repeat. When he follows you to this corner run along the back of the

pyramid then along the other side.


You should now be back to the front of the pyramid where you can drop to

the ground and run up the mountain trail. Even if the T-Rex caught onto

your plan, he is too slow to make up the distance before you exit this level.

A few easy obstacles like a gap and a bridge are all that stand between you

and the next level.




Ascent 2 – Race to the Top


Objectives:


– Escape certain death

– Follow the ravine

– Climb the large stones

– Locate the stone pillars

– Climb the switchbacks

– Navigate bridges and planks

– Use trailer to cross gap

– Activate elevator remotely to exit


You start this level facing a hungry Raptor. A Redhawk is in the weapons

box ahead of you, but it’s a tight race. Whether you get the gun or now you

need to walk/slide down the left side. You may take a little damage but the

Raptor won’t follow.


If you got the gun back up top you can head out into the valley where

several Raptors and an Albertosaurus are just waiting to give you an unfair

fight. If you didn’t get the gun, or you just don’t feel like dealing with all

those dinos, then stick to the low and narrow ravine to the left. This will

lead you all the way to the Giant Rocks and you won’t have to fight a single

dino getting there.


Of course if you are a “danger seeker” or are trying to kill everything you

meet, then by all means, visit the Ruins where you will find an AG-47 and a

pair of Raptors. You may even get lucky and kill a dino by pushing some

crumbling ruins on top of them. Of course since you chose this route you

are now obligated to fight the Albertosaurus. You are going to need to put

this bad boy to sleep before you can kill him, so unless you have a

Tranquilizer Pistol you better try Plan “B” – RUN! Otherwise, unload all

your darts into him and he will doze off for about a minute. Run up and

unload your other weapon into his head and he may just die.


Whether you took the safe and cowardly route or the dangerous and

exciting route, you will soon arrive at some very large rocks. Start on the

hill to the left to get onto the first rock then jump from rock to rock until

you get onto the next plateau which overlooks a valley that splits into two

paths.


Start down the hill keeping to the right. Take care of the Raptors as you

start to go back up the next hill which soon turns into a mountain. Follow

the trail and cross the stone bridge where another Raptor needs your swift

attention. Your next bridge is in pretty bad shape. You can try to jump over

the gap or do a balance beam walk along one of the rails. Once you cross,

you can head up the path to get some new weapons; a Hunting Rifle and

Redhawk.


Head down the valley to the right of the weapons stash where three more

Raptors are searching for food. Kill or wound them to get by and climb up

into the upper valley. Keep going until the valley drops down to the right and

up to the left. The left is a short but steep climb to a dead end, so turn and

head right. You should soon see some stone pillars at the base of a huge

mountain.


Explore the pillars to find a pair of Bennelli Shotguns that you will most

certainly need as you begin the long trek up this mountain. Kill (or wound)

the first pair of Raptors that greet you as you start up the mountain trail.

Follow the switchbacks as you make a very steep climb and you will soon

come to some large white rocks. Another pair of Raptors are waiting on the

rocks for you. Kill them or better yet, force them off the side of the

mountain and watch them roll to the bottom.


Continue up the mountain and you will soon find a Hunting Rifle and Desert

Eagle. After you are rearmed continue up more switchbacks and you will

come to another pair of Raptors. Blast them and claim the AG-47 as your

reward. Continue to the wooden bridge that is very much like the teetering

platform from Level 1. Push, drop, or throw a box onto the near side of the

bridge to anchor it to the ground. Now you can run up the ramp and jump to

the other side.


More switchbacks and another dead Raptor later you should arrive at the

worst bridge yet. You can carefully jump across the gaps in the bridge or

better yet, jump onto the rail and balance beam walk across. If you can

walk a straight line this is much easier (and safer) than jumping. A Bennelli

Shotgun and Hunting Rifle are waiting for you on the other side.


The next two obstacles are pretty basic. Grab a rock and toss it onto the

board to lower it down, then run up the board to the next level. The

mountain road ahead is patrolled by a pair of Raptors. You can get the SB5

Machine Gun or if you can outrun the Raptors try to make it to the Browning

M2 which is mounted on the crate. You can blow apart both Raptors with

ammo to spare if they don’t eat you first. Go up the road and get the

Hunting Rifle and extra ammo from the back of the truck then go around

the truck to the right.


The next obstacle is pretty silly but easily solved. Shoot the pivoting board

until it spins around to make a bridge then cross over to the other side. The

boxes ahead will let you jump into the truck where you can claim one or

both of the Redhawks before tackling the three Raptors up around the

bend. Soon you will arrive at a trailer with stacked crates and a AG-47

with drum magazine.


Jump up the boxes to get onto the trailer then walk out until it tilts forward

creating a makeshift bridge. As soon as it tilts, run across and quickly jump

to the other side as the trailer crashes down the side of the mountain. The

trail ends at a sheer cliff wall with a forklift type elevator.


The elevator is controlled by a pair of switches and you must maintain a

constant pressure on the switches to move the platform. Use the switch

furthest from the elevator to lower the platform to ground level. Now go

move the crate which is between the other switch and a sheet of plywood.

Now go stand on the elevator and shoot or throw something at the board to

make it fall onto the switch and raise you to the Summit.




The Summit – Final Conflict


Objectives:


– Find some weapons FAST!

– Get on the roof – Find way into Radio Room

– Extend drawbridge

– Follow mountain path

– Climb the tower using ramps

– Survive the Final Encounter

– Scale the fence to reach Helipad


This is it – it all boils down to the final level. You start at the top of the

elevator on the platform facing a large array of windmills. At least two

Raptors are already alerted to your presence and are approaching at this

very moment. A weapons locker lies directly ahead so race up and get the

Bennelli Shotgun and Desert Eagle then run back to the platform.


Start shooting as the Raptors charge. If you can’t kill them you can at least

force one or maybe both of them off the edge of the elevator. When things

have calmed down you can find the second weapons locker to the right

which contain a Calico SB5 and a Redhawk. The stairs in the back corner

are your next major goal but there are a few things to do down here first.


Go to the back corner (by the stairs) and find the trash dumpster. Use it to

get to the roof of the building then jump across to the next building with

the open skylight. Drop down into the radio room and hit the EMERGENCY

BEACON button. This summons your rescue chopper and extends the bridge

leading from the stairs outside over to the mountain trail. Grab the HK VP70

pistol on your way out of the now-unlocked door. On your way back to the

stairs you can enter that building with the trash dumpster and load up on

fresh weapons. You should find a Belle Shotgun and HK VP70 pistol in this

building. Climb the stairs and cross over to the mountain trail where a pair

of Raptors greet you. You can kill or wound them as usually or you can even

lead them back to the steel bridge and try to get them to fall off.


A third Raptor will attempt a sneak attack (guess I ruined that surprise) so

deal with him then continue up the stairs and grab the Belle Shotgun on the

landing. Another Raptor spots you as you reach the top. Deal with him

swiftly and he won’t even get a chance to bite you. Continue up another

metal stairway and get another Belle Shotgun.


The mountain path splits and Raptors are everywhere. Watch for sneak

attacks from above by a pair of Raptors who aren’t afraid of heights and

will jump down right on top of you. If you go down the left branch you will

still fight the same Raptors but you will get a Redhawk for your troubles.


You should now be at a large steel tower with spiraling ramps leading to the

top. Climb up the ramps until you reach the summit. The partial remains of a

previous adventurer greet you as you jump off the ramp. Take his HK 91

Rifle as he won’t be needing it anymore although it looks like he used about

half your ammo already.


You can move about freely up top as long as you stay along the outer edge.

As soon as you venture near the middle of the complex a pair of Raptors

will almost magically materialize out of thin air and attack from opposite

ends of the compound. Attack them quickly as they are only a minor

diversion for the giant Alpha Raptor who rules this area. Unload everything

you got into these guys – everybody MUST die. A Belle Shotgun with only

partial shells remaining is in the open building – it may come in handy.


Once everyone is dead and you have caught your breath you need to start

building some steps out of those three crates in the center of the compound.

Use two of them to get onto the first level and throw a third one up so it is

waiting to help you onto the top. Now you can jump over the electric fence

and walk out onto the Helipad. The sound of the approaching chopper and

Hammond’s closing narration mark the end of your adventure on Jurassic

Park’s Site B Complex.


Thanks for playing and using Sinjin’s Survival Guide.





CHEATS – When you need that extra edge


tnext – Skip to next objective/waypoint

loc – Display internal map coordinates

bones – Display bounding volumes for all objects

gore 2 – Turns up the blood (I recommend this)

woo – Unlimited ammo for all weapons

Bionic Woman – slower moving but higher jumps

Win – Shows the final movie and credits

Dinos – Freezes all dinosaurs making them easy targets


To enter these codes you must first type CTRL-F11 to bring up the cursor

in the lower-left corner of the screen. Then enter the code followed by

the ENTER key then type CTRL-F11 one more time to complete the entry.


SKIP LEVEL – Press and hold CTRL-Shift-Q-W then release the W

Additional Employment Policies
Confidentiality

Nearly all of InGen's employees have access to confidential information of one kind or another. Per the coordinated efforts of the company's various divisions, this information is usually quarantined from one individual to the next, communicated on a need-to-know basis.

A simple rule to keep in mind: If a co-worker claims to know what you are working on, he or she is probably lying. Please report any such incidents to your immediate supervisor. If your immediate supervisor is the individual responsible for the breach in question, please report the incident directly to Internal Security.

Telephone Calls

As personal calls are generally prohibited during working hours and inter-employee communication best effected via the IntraNet and interoffice memos, all telephones have been removed from the building. In the event of an emergency, employees are urged to exit the complex and use the pay phone located at the gas station across the street.

ID Cards

Each employee will be issued an ID card, bearing his/her access code to the IntraNet. Lost cards should be reported immediately to Internal Security.

Political Activities

InGen employees are prohibited from soliciting political contributions from co-workers, from soliciting political contributions on the job, from taking any job-related action on the basis of political activity, affiliation, or contribution or absence thereof, and from participating in political activities when scheduled for work.

"Political Activities" include affiliations with political parties, whether recognized or unrecognized; membership in cults or fringe groups; and/or ties to organized crime or extended families of any sort.

Dress Code

While we hardly require formal attire, employees are expected to put their best foot forward. No ripped clothing, no sneakers or athletic garb, nothing featuring licensed characters from entities other than Universal Studios.

Kitchen Privileges

The Kitchen is open during all operating hours to any employee. Please clean up after yourself. Be especially careful near the stove, as the smoke alarm is supplemented with a Halon Gas System (see Emergency Procedures for more information).

Emergency Procedures
How will I know it's an emergency?
An emergency situation, when monitored by ASYA (Automatic SYstems Analysis), will be signaled by a warning klaxon. An automated female voice will describe the nature of the situation and issue specific instructions.

What should I do?

Due to the potentially volatile nature of Jurassic Park, all emergency procedures are to be taken very seriously. In the event of an actual emergency situation, responsibility for Jurassic Park falls into the hands of the Director of Operations, who is to remain on site until the situation can be rectified.

What is an emergency, anyway?

An emergency is generally defined as an unforeseen combination of circumstances requiring immediate action. Some examples include:

Power Outages. Generally, these result from an overload of some sort. The breaker switch for the complex is located in the Power Room on Level One.
Fire. InGen is equipped with a state-of-the-art Halon Gas System (HGS) that, in the event of fire, will remove all of the oxygen from the room, effectively snuffing the flame. A warning will be issued before the gas is emitted. In the unlikely event that a person is in the room at the same time, he or she should immediately look for the override switch, usually located in an adjacent corridor.
Escaped Dinosaurs. In the unlikely event of an escaped dinosaur, all employees should immediately evacuate, as the complex will be sealed. The Director of Operations is responsible for remaining behind to immobilize (or, in extreme cases, terminate) the fugitive animal.
Enemy Invasion. In cases of enemy invasion, responsibility for the Park falls into the hands of Security, who will manage the situation until proper police or military officials can be summoned.
Viral Infection. Due to the delicate balance of Jurassic Park, even the slightest potential of contagion must be handled with utmost care. In the event of a suspected virus, the Complex will be quarantined and sealed. Employees should await further instructions which will be forthcoming.

Introduction to InGen
International Genetics Technologies was founded by John Hammond in 1985 as a vehicle for pursuing his lifelong dream: the chance to create living, breathing dinosaurs out of partially-preserved DNA samples.

After some initial research in Palo Alto and Costa Rica, InGen lost its foreign backers due to a series of (unspecified) incidents. Universal Studios, however, came to the struggling corporation's rescue, entering into a joint venture to create a brand-new attraction.

Only a few short years later, the highly successful venture has resulted in Jurassic Park, the most amazing entertainment attraction on earth. Visitors are able to mingle with a variety of animals who had not walked this planet in hundreds of millions of years.


The Structure

The business of operating the attraction is run from the InGen building, located at Jurassic Park's southern entrance.

InGen is divided into four divisions, each managed by a Vice President. Each Vice President reports to Dr. Hammond, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer. There is also a Chief Financial Officer, who is responsible for overseeing financial activity within each division.

The four divisions are: Human Resources, Marketing, Security and Systems Administration.


Administration

Employees are regulated by the Human Resources division and administered by the individual divisions. Each employee reports to a supervisor, responsible for directing his/her work and for seeing that InGen's employment policies affect that employee fairly and impartially. Each supervisor reports, directly or through a chain of command, to a Vice President.


A Wealth of Diversity

No two jobs at InGen are exactly alike, nor are any two employees. You have a unique contribution to make to the continuing accomplishments of this dynamic corporation.

We value your training, education and life experience as well as your individual skill set, dedication, and, most of all, enthusiasm. We look forward to your role in the continued growth and success of Jurassic Park.


Drug and Weapon-free Workplace

InGen and Jurassic Park are proud to comply with state and federal law as a drug-free zone. Please refer to the latest drug classification table for more details.

In compliance with Universal Studios Hollywood policy, InGen is also a weapons-free zone.


Affirmative Action/Nondiscrimination Policy

InGen will not discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, genetic makeup, age, sexual orientation, athletic ability, chromosome deficiency, marital status, disability, height, weight, eye color, hair color, unfavorable discharge from the military, or status as a disabled veteran or a veteran of the Vietnam era.


Conflict of Interest

InGen encourages its employees to pursue an active and engaging life outside of work.

Due to the delicate nature of the work you will be doing, we kindly request that you do not engage in activities on or off the job that conflict with your hours of work, your job performance, or that might reasonably be considered to be in conflict with your obligations and responsibilities.

Any questions about whether an activity constitutes a conflict of interest should be directed towards Jim Boutcher, Director of Security.

You and Your Job
While each employee will have a specific set of duties, all employees are subject to a common set of goals and obligations. If you know of a fellow employee who is/has been/might be in violation of one or more of these tenets, or if you are/have been/might be in violation of one or more of these tenets, please do not hesitate to report such incident to Security.
Effective use of time. Because at InGen, we understand that life offers only one certainty: Here today, extinct tomorrow.
Utter compliance with InGen's non-disclosure and confidentiality policies. This includes the reporting of all suspicious persons or incidents as well as any and all violations, confirmed or otherwise, to Security.
Friendliness, courtesy and respect to man and beast, whether co-worker, park visitor or dinosaur.
Regular attendance. InGen employees are not tardy, do not abuse sick leave, lunch periods or breaks.
To work when you are supposed to be working, and to perform the job you are supposed to be performing. While InGen will never condone a violation of this policy, it is understood that in certain emergency situations, an employee might be forced to perform the job of an absent colleague. For example, he/she might put out a small fire him/herself instead of waiting for Security forces to arrive. While it is doubtful that the said employee would be reprimanded for such a violation, it is generally safest to check with a supervisor first.
Observance of all safety and security policies as dictated. When appropriate, please observe the instructions issued by the computer-generated voice. Please see the Emergency Procedures section for more information.
Proper use of and respect towards InGen property. This includes, but is not limited to: safe handling of dangerous materials; appropriate (i.e., job-related) use only of facilities.
Keeping an eye out for cost-saving and labor-saving approaches to your assignments and to report them to your supervisor.

IAN MALCOLM
Isla Sorna is an island 333 kilometers (207 miles) west of Costa Rica.[1] Isla Sorna is the largest island of The Five Deaths island chain, located north east of Isla Tacaño and south of Isla Muerta.
After InGen bought Isla Sorna, they code-named the island "Site B". Isla Sorna became InGen's "factory floor", where dinosaurs were cloned in the various facilities InGen built on the island. The dinosaurs were nursed in temporary cages until they were fit to be transported to Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, 87 miles east of Isla Sorna.

After Hurricane Clarissa hit the island, all personnel were evacuated from the island and the facilities were later abandoned. However, before they left, the InGen personnel unlocked the cages so that the dinosaurs could have a better chance of surviving the storm. Within a few years, the dinosaurs took over the island and established a fully functional ecosystem.


Location and physical geography
JPTheLostWorldIslaSorna.png
Isla Sorna map in The Lost World: Jurassic Park
In the first stages of the development of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the geography of the novel version of the island was used. Later they made a new version of the island. The geography of this island is revealed in the Hammond Scene of the film. John Hammond shows Ian Malcolm a screen on which the thermal signatures of the dinosaurs is seen, but the island as a whole is also seen. Based on this and other maps the crew of Jurassic Park Legacy made a more detailed map that shows all locations.

The location of Isla Sorna is also revealed. At the start of The Lost World it is shown that Isla Sorna is located 87 miles (140 kilometers) southwest of Isla Nublar. At the start of Jurassic Park III it says that it is located 207 miles (333 kilometers) west of Costa Rica. Before the expedition leaves, when Kelly Malcolm is inspecting the Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab, a map of the island which includes part of Costa Rica, as well as latitude and longitude markings, is shown. From this map, the location of the island is as follows:

Latitude: 8 degrees 25 minutes North
Longitude: 87 degrees 40 minutes West
Furthermore, when Nick Van Owen calls from the Worker Village, he gives the following coordinates:

Latitude: 9 degrees 58 minutes North
Longitude: 85 degrees...
The geography, like Isla Nublar, was originally igneous. Part of a hotspot archipelago in the Pacific, Las Cinco Muertes, Isla Sorna has a geographical plain of sharp volcanic cliffs, which over time, has been overlain with both classic and coniferous jungle. This volcanic history was actually tapped into by InGen, who used geothermal energy as a renewable power source to run the Worker Village. Incredibly mountainous, this geological construct has allowed for an interesting division between the predators and herbivores of the island. The larger and more fearsome carnivores such as the Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor tend to stay mostly towards the island interior, while the herbivores such as Parasaurolophus and Mamenchisaurus stay on the rim of the island along with very small carnivores such as Compsognathus. Interestingly, the structure of the island allows for a very curious arrangement. The island has multiple channels and canyons that cut into the island interior all the way from the coast. This allows for the statements said by John Hammond in 1997 and the often misinterpreted statement about the arrangement said by Eric Kirby in 2001 to both be true. Essentially, a large enough portion of the island interior also has a large number of water inlets cutting into it. Although the island is in a tropical region, at night, Isla Sorna has been shown to be cold enough for one to see their own breath.

History
236.jpg
Worker Village gate
Before InGen
Before InGen populated this island with dinosaurs, Isla Sorna was just trees, plant life, and living animals.

InGen
During InGen's operations on the Island, there were four areas that were constructed. The Embryonics Administration was the main factory that produced the dinosaurs on a massive scale. After the production of a mutant variety of Pteranodon, a large Aviary was constructed where the genetic mutated Pterosaurs could be studied and quarantined. There was also an airstrip that was built close to the Embryonics Administration. The Worker Village was a small compound that was used as the barracks for the Employees who worked at Isla Sorna as well as possessing a radio that could reach the mainland. InGen continued their operations on Isla Sorna up until 1993, sometime after the Incident on Isla Nublar, when a hurricane struck Isla Sorna and forced the evacuation of the island.

After InGen
After the evacuation of Isla Sorna, the dinosaurs were freed and left to take care of themselves. In 1997, a British family on a yacht cruise stumbles on the Island and the family's little girl is attacked by several Compsognathus. Peter Ludlow, John Hammond's nephew, uses the incident to take over InGen and become the new CEO of the company. Knowing that Ludlow is planning an expedition to Isla Sorna to capture the dinosaurs to be displayed in Jurassic Park: San Diego, Hammond sends his own team to Isla Sorna to document the dinosaurs in order to gain public support for the isolation of Isla Sorna as a natural preserve. As Ian Malcolm points out, the dinosaurs should have succumbed to the Lysine Contingency and died after about 6 or 7 days, but Hammond reveals that the animals are actually thriving on the island. He also explains that carnivores tend to group towards the middle of the island while herbivores stay mostly on the outer rim.

However, once on the island, the clashing of Ludlow's and Hammond's teams causes chaos to break loose. The survivors on both teams have to combine forces and hike to the Worker's Village in order to send a distress call. After a few days of hiking, the teams encounter a pair of parent Tyrannosaurus, and then a pack of Velociraptors outside a field of long grass. Their numbers now heavily diminished, the rescue call is made and the teams are airlifted out. However, Ludlow is able to salvage his operation by capturing a male T. rex. Unfortunately the Tyrannosaur Buck breaks loose and rampages through San Diego, the animal is eventually recaptured and returned to Isla Sorna, along with the Infant T. rex. After this incident, Isla Sorna is declared a restricted zone by both the US and Costa Rican governments and deliberation begins by both on what should be done with the island.

In 1998, a small team of scientists from InGen illegally landed on Isla Sorna against the 1997 Gene Guard Act and began the process of cloning new species of dinosaurs not created before and therefore were not on “InGen’s list”. They were grown and experimented on over a period of nine months covertly in order to avoid any carnivorous dinosaurs. The new species included Ankylosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Corythosaurus, and Spinosaurus; all of which were abandoned on the Island when the scientists left.

Four years later, in 2001, a 12-year-old boy and his mother's boyfriend, Eric Kirby and Ben Hildebrand respectively, went parasailing near Isla Sorna in hopes to see dinosaurs. Unfortunately, something attacks their boat, leaving Ben and Eric stranded on the island. After pleading to multiple agencies for help in getting their son back, a divorced couple Paul and Amanda Kirby travel to the island with Alan Grant and a trio of mercenaries in order to retrieve Eric. After a Spinosaurus destroys their plane and takes out two of the mercenaries, the group is left stranded on the island. After finding Ben's rotted corpse, the group treks on but gets separated after a Velociraptor encounter. Eventually finding Eric and regrouping, the Kirbys and Alan Grant are able to send a call to Ellie Degler, whose husband works for the US State Department. She is then able to send the US Marines and Navy to the island and rescue the Kirbys and Alan Grant.

Jurassic World
Because Isla Sorna is never mentioned during the film, it was unknown what happened to the dinosaurs that were on the island during the incident at Jurassic World. However, the sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom states that the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar are the last of their kind. Due to the Dinosaur Protection Group stating that the dinosaurs were moved to Isla Nublar from Isla Sorna due to the illegally cloned species disrupting the balance on Isla Sorna’s dinosaur populations, it is unlikely that there are any dinosaurs left on Isla Sorna.

Ecology
The Lost World: Jurassic Park was filmed in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and Patrick's Point State Park, (northern California).[2] Showing a temperate Redwood forest. Jurassic Park III was filmed on the tropical island Molokai (Hawaii).

The Jurassic Park 3 region appeared to be much more tropical than The Lost World region, possibly due to mountains keeping moisture from reaching the other portion.

While dinosaurs are the most commonly seen fauna, mammals and reptiles, along with birds and amphibians also live around the island. The seas that surround the island serve as the prominent habitat for numerous water based fauna including fish, marine mammals and even sharks.

In regards to the carnivores, Tyrannosaurus dominates at the top of the food chain as the main apex predator of the island. However, after the illegal species created in 1998 were released on the island, the Spinosaurus began to compete with Tyrannosaurus for territory, while predators such as Velociraptors, Compsognathus, Dilophosaurus, and many others each occupy their own niches.

On the other hand, giant herbivores like sauropods have the advantage of feeding on trees, all the while leaving the grass and low growing vegetation to herbivores who restrict themselves to feeding at that level, thus displaying herbivore niche partitioning.

Flocks of pterosaurs can also be found flying throughout the skies.

Migrations are known to occur on Sorna from time to time, usually in dry seasons and droughts when food and water become less abundant for the herbivores. On other occasions such as breeding season, herds of herbivorous dinosaurs travel long distances to reach their traditional nesting grounds.

It is known that Herrerasaurus was created by InGen on Isla Nublar, but is not known if any remained on Isla Sorna or not. Geosternbergia is seen in The Lost World to be on Isla Sorna but the exact numbers or even the species have not been revealed by the DPG.

1998
After Masrani Global Corporation bought InGen, at least four illegal species were cloned, which were the Ankylosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Corythosaurus, and Spinosaurus.

Isla Sorna map printed in the novel (from JPLegacy.org).

Isla Sorna is the island where InGen cloned and bred dinosaurs before they were shipped to Jurassic Park. The island was located near the western coast of Costa Rica. The local people call it Isla Gemido. It means 'groan,' from the sound of the waves inside the caves.[1]

The island appears in Michael Crichton's novel The Lost World. The island is very small, possibly 50 or 55 square kilometers in size.[citation needed].

Contents[show]
Location Edit
RegionalmapIslaNublarandSornaCostaRicaJurassicParkSiteB by Henrique
Regional map of Isla Sorna and The Five Deaths in the Pacific Ocean.

Isla Sorna is part of the island group The Five Deaths. Isla Sorna was the largest of the island and located most to the north.[2]

Jurassic Park Legacy members Henrique_Z_Tomassi and DinoDude65 collaborated to create a regional map of Michael Crichton's islands.[3]

GeographyEdit
Isla Sorna novel
Color version of Isla Sorna map made by T-PECK.

Isla Sorna is said to have been originally a large volcano that blew its top. The high mountain ridges on the coasts restrict access to the island. Only a few tunnels that the water had bored into the sides of the large mountainsides in the east grant access. The waves make a groaning noise in the caves. Local people nicknamed the island after that sound, Isla Gemido, 'groaning island'.[1]

Even landing by helicopter is difficult; large wind updrafts would make flying very difficult.

Water wells in the north feed the island's river, which debouches in the sea on the south-eastern side.

HistoryEdit
Before InGenEdit
According to the book Die Fünf Todesarten (cited in the novel), the island was inhabited by Indians who build at least one stone structure and covered it with drawings.

The island was later owned by a German mining company. The Germans left before or during World War II.[2]

InGenEdit
In the eighties, the island was bought by the InGen Company. A Village with a large laboratory was built. It was here where the dinosaurs were actually cloned and raised until a certain age/size when they were to be transferred into Isla Nublar.

Nevertheless, due to an unknown prion called DX (similar to mad cow disease, though DX was transferred through sheep extracts fed to the carnivores), the animal production was reduced severely; newborns died in a matter of days. Sarah Harding mentions in the novel how surprised she is to find out that InGen fed its carnivores this material, as it is commonly known throughout the naturalist community that no carnivore should be fed this in captivity.

IMG 5417
Isla Sorna map printed in the novel.

The disease would act as any prion-based disease and would build a large chemical chain within the brain fluid. This chain would become so large, that it would eventually burrow through the brain material, causing insanity in most cases—hence the name mad cow disease.

This disease would prove devastating to any genetics company, as any bio-engineered animal already has very little chance of surviving to adulthood. A large batch must be made in order to preserve even a 1% yield rate. A disease such as this could wipe out the entire population within a matter of weeks.

In order to overcome the possibility that diseases were being transmitted through workers at the plant, they tagged the animals with radio transmitters and released them to the habitat. Following the collapse of Isla Nublar, several accidents on Isla Sorna forced InGen to evacuate Site B and leave the animals to fend for themselves. Forgotten, the dinosaurs took over the island and turned it into a real Jurassic Park. Some animals go extinct while others begin to exhibit strange behaviors. It is later discovered that the island has reached its equilibrium, but because of an explosion in the raptor population, the animals are under increasing stress.

Lost World IncidentEdit
In the novel of The Lost World, Ian Malcolm learns of this island from paleontologist Richard Levine, and he sets off to the island initially to rescue Levine. Stowed away in the trailer are two smart kids, Kelly Curtis and Arby Benton who help Malcolm and Lewis assistant, Eddie Carr find Levine. However, Lewis Dodgson of the Biosyn corporation also learns of Isla Sorna and seeks to steal dinosaur eggs for genetic research. However, Dodgson and his team are eventually killed and Malcolm and most of his team escape the island.

Surprisingly, Sorna, which ran on geothermal energy, had many still functioning systems, including the mainframe and surveillance. The trailers were connected to the local area network and the team were able to use the mostly functioning mainframe to its advantage—that is, until the Tyrannosaurus attack severely damaged the trailers.



The Lost World: Jurassic Park Interactive WebsiteEdit
JPTLWNovelMapWebsite
The Lost World film interactive website displays a modified novel version map of Isla Sorna when clicked on Hammond's wall.[4]This map even goes as far as to point out locations from the film.



The Lost World ExhibitionEdit
TLW exebition guide 3
After the premiere of the movie The Lost World: Jurassic Park, an exhibition about dinosaurs and the movie traveled the world. The map of Site B that is shown in the exhibition guide is based on the novel version of the island. This Site B symbol also appears on TLW-themed sweaters and some other merchandise packaging.



Jurassic Park inspired GamesEdit
The Lost World: Jurassic Park PS Game Edit
The novel version of Isla Sorna is also the location of the video game The Lost World: Jurassic Park. In the intro screen of the Human Hunter level a detailed map of Isla Sorna, with all the habitats, is shown. There are six habitats:

Habitat A: Compsognathus, Orodromeus, Euoplocephalus.
Habitat B: Staurikosaurus, Dimorphodon, Baryonyx.
Habitat C: Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus.
Habitat D: Parasuchus, Deinonychus, Rhamphorhynchus.
Habitat E: Pachycephalosaurus, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus.
Habitat F: Velociraptor nests.
Most of the animals don't appear in the novel. However, the locations of the animals that do appear correlate with the locations in the novel. Some dinosaurs from the novel are not mentioned in this habitat list. But not all dinosaurs that do appear in the game appear in this list. So, there is no contradiction between the bestiary of the novel and this game. Other creatures that weren't mentioned in the human hunter levels, but do appear in the game include the following: Brachiosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Geosternbergia, Leptoceratops, and Psittacosaurus.



The Lost World: Jurassic Park (Arcade) Edit
The novel version of the island is also used as the location of the arcade game The Lost World: Jurassic Park, indicated by the "shuffle" menu seen in the selection screen.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (game.com) Edit
The novel version of Isla Sorna is used in level screens for the game.com version of The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park: The Game Edit

In the Marine Facility (from Jurassic Park: The Game) a map of Isla Sorna can be seen; it is the novel version of the island. It is most likely an easter egg put in by Telltale Games as a nod to fans of Jurassic Park.

UnknownEdit
These dinosaurs, with the exception of Coelurosaurus since it was being bred into the park, were in the park on Isla Nublar in the first novel, but they were not seen or mentioned in the second novel. Since all of the animals in the park were first bred on Isla Sorna, it can be assumed that they inhabit the island. However, they might have died out due to their lack to reproduce, or just nesting in a different region of Isla Sorna.

The team of protagonists uncovers a set of memo sheets in the abandoned laboratory that proved that InGen bred, or had the means to breed, Gallimimus on Isla Sorna for eventual transportation to Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar. Although the first novel ends clearly with the destruction of all of the dinosaur population on Isla Nublar, it is unknown whether any surviving Gallimimus populations existed on Isla Sorna at the time the teams landed.

Village
EDIT

SHARE
The Village is a small settlement on novel version of Isla Sorna and used to accommodate workers of InGen. It is also the location of a large laboratory.

The Lost WorldEdit
Village
Map of the Village and Lab Compound from the "The Lost World" map.

In the novel The Lost World a large settlement is located in the northeast corner of Isla Sorna. The description tells that the entrance to the area has the remains of what was once a guard-house. The Manufacturing Plant, described by Eddie Carr to be at least two football fields in size, with the loading dock on the far end having caved in on itself. Ian Malcolm suggests the possibility of an Apatosaurus having fallen on the structure. Investigating the interior, Malcolm, Eddie, and Doc Thorne come across many of the doors locked, a few of the unlocked ones holdings materials such as a map of the island with pins strategically placed in a pentagonal pattern, a board room with animal dropping on its table, and an office with the papers strewn about and browning. Finally coming upon the factory floor, Malcolm notes that the area shows incredible cleanliness, with little dust or greenery which plagues the rest of the compound, and the machines appearing as if they were still in operational condition.

Behind the Facility, Eddie finds a large bunker housing a geothermal power plant, which miraculously, is still operating despite the lack of maintenance in the past few years. The only signs of its age is the sulfer forming on the piping. It is here that Eddie discovers that Isla Sorna still has power in its electrical grid.

Other areas include the Housing Quarters, which is described as a double row of shacks akin to slave quarters of old Southern United States plantations, and a gas station with convenience store. The Gas station and convenience store is the location of the Novel's finale. The survivors on Isla Sorna have hunkered down there for the night in order to escape the Velociraptors. However, they failed to realize that in the night the area becomes the territory of Carnotaurus. The area is described as a simple wood shack with brick bak wall. The front contains two pumps, both dry and the back holds several drums, empty as well. Located behind the convenience store are tennis courts and an emptied swimming pool, both covered in overgrowth. Running beneath the Convenience Store is a network of tunnels that run beneath the island. Two of the known destinations for the tunnels are the Production Facility and a Boat House, which is located at the other end of the island from the Workers Village.

Video Games Edit
The novel version of the village can be seen in The Lost World PS game.

New Levels

It is rare these days that we get new members in the community that also have a huge interest to make new levels. One of our latest member, morningstarring has released no other than 2 new levels in the past 2 months. These fan levels are modifications of retail levels which is a rare thing now in the community. Be sure to check them out!


Redwood Road




Download it here: Redwood Road Download (43.91MB)


Airfield




Download it here: Airfield Download (54.41MB)


Assets In The Making

Draconisaurus has shown us his current work-in-progress model he’s been working on for a few weeks – an “African Cape Gun”. Many hours has been spent on this to make sure its been done to perfection. He released a video of it in action:





Trespasser In Source Engine

killer89, also known as Mattila22 on our Discord has been working hard on recreating a few areas of Trespasser inside the Source engine. Their latest project have been to recreate Industrial Jungle, which is a huge undertaking.

You can follow their work on our Discord (Link in the right menu, below the forum link), or on our forum: Hunter’s camp & Lab complex in Source engine


Fan Art

We don’t get many new fan arts on our forum anymore, but that doesn’t mean no-one is making any. Draconisaurus have discovered several fan arts the past month on the internet.

More Fan Art

While we rarely do get new fan art, Draconisaurus has shared some of his drawings, some which are Trespasser inspired, make sure to check these out as well.

First 2020 News Post!
Written on April 20, 2020 at 5:36 pm, by tatu



It’s been a year since the last news post, but fear not, there have been plenty of stuff happening in the community. Here is several of them:


TresCom Anthology




Rebel has been busy in the recent year to work on the latest installment in the TresCom level series. Latest to join is the prequel level, which tells the story on how Anne ended up where she is in the first TC level. The prequel level is still a work in progress but Rebel has made a nice package that contains the whole story so far. The package comes will all the levels and are bundled with ATX and is standalone, ready to be played!


TresCom Anthology Download (168.7 MB)


NOTE! The TresCom.tpa file was missing a sound while wearing the gas mask. If anyone wants to replace the file inside of the anthology’s package (inside data folder), it’s in the 7zip below.


TresCom.tpa Fix Download (57.9 MB)


TrespasserGuy’s Unfinished Levels




TrespasserGuy decided to share two of their unfinished levels in hopes that it will have some inspiration for people to do some modding. TrespasserGuy describe them as: “Both of these levels take inspiration from some JP1 concept art and try to create a tropical resort-type locale that is very heavily implied to take place on Isla Nublar.”


You can find these here: TrespasserGuy’s Unfinished Level Pack Download (14.9 MB)


4ushT




The first of many new levels by Draconisaurus included in this news post. Inspired by the comic book series “The Woods, it contains a forest from an alien world with secrets to be uncovered and fearful environs to survive. It can be downloaded here: 4ushT Download (15.0 MB)


Pine Escape




The next level from Draconisaurus is inspired by Jurassic Park Arcade and plays out in similar fashion, but with a Trespasser touch. Pine Escape Download (8.4 MB)


Mountain Valley




Another level from Draconisaurus that he made over the past winter. The level is very typical Trespasser and therefore stands out from his typical levels. It has a great environment and puzzles. Mountain Valley Download (29.4 MB)


Desert Mountain




This next level was inspired by one of the Windows Login Backgrounds. Once again this is created by Draconisaurus. Desert Mountain Download (5.7 MB)


MayanCity46




Draconisaurus dreamed this level up randomly one day. “The basic premise is that InGen is for whatever reason doing an archaeological investigation on an unknown ruin location.” MayanCity46 Download (8.6 MB)


Winter Outpost




Now this level is probably a bit late to be added to the news post. This is Draconisaurus Christmas 2019 level for the community. The level continues where “Industrial Forest 3” left off. “This time you must complete the journey to the outpost and make it through the gate!” Winter Outpost Download (23.8 MB)


NNHD Trespasser Textures







And now for something completely different. Isolt spent some time upscaling most of Trespasser’s textures. They also went ahead to upscale the texture used in Pine Valley (build 96). Please be aware these are quite big downloads. These HD textures requires the CE patch to work. See the including Readme for installation instructions and other information.


“Standard version is 4x resolution (16x pixel count) in 24bit colour.


Light version (for more demanding levels or less capable hardware) at 2x resolution (8x pixel count) with some less important textures removed, and some particularly large in game textures at 4x”


NNHD Trespasser Textures – Standard Version Download (700.6 MB)


NNHD Trespasser Textures – Light Version Download (178.1 MB)


NNHD Trespasser Textures – Pine Valley Download (62.8 MB)





TPA Player Update

Rebel has released a new version of TPA Player, version 4.0.9.8. It contains a small workaround to export audio with / in its name. You can find the latest version here: TPA Player v4.0.9.8 Download (524.4 KB)


Discord

Last year our long time TresCom staff MikeTheRaptor decided to start a Discord channel for Trespasser. The Discord is linked in the right-side panel below the forum, but you can also join it by clicking HERE.

Tools And Compatibility Patches
Written on April 1, 2019 at 6:45 pm, by tatu



Compatibility Patches

machf have been busy again working on getting the levels from the early Trespasser builds to work with the retail engine. He has now fixed the .scn and .grf file from the early levels to properly work with the retail engine (except for some issues with Build 22’s IJ and TestScene level (for now)). You will still require to convert the .pid/.swp using the Pid reWrite tool(see below) along with the TPAupdate tool (see below) in order to fully experience the levels.

These patches can be found in our Patches download section. Please see the description of the downloads for information to get them working properly.


fixOcclusion

From the description:

“fixOcclusion is a simple drag-and-drop utility based on some of the functionality from the earlier pidRewrite tool. Its purpose is to fix the occlusion settings in early v130 pid’s (basically, the ones from Build 55) so that they are fuly compatible with later ones and can be properly viewed in TresEd. Just place the executable in the same folder as the Build 55 *.PID files, then drag an drop on top of it each .PID file you want to convert. The original ones will be saved with a “.bak” extension, just in case.”

This tool will fix the issue where TresEd won’t recognize occlusion objects as occlusions due to difference in the early v130 pid’s found in Build 55. You can found the tools in our Tools download section on the left or download it here: fixOcclusion Download

New TPA Tools And Updated Sound Name Listings
Written on March 24, 2019 at 8:25 am, by tatu



TPAupdate

TPAupdate is a simple drag-and-drop tool to convert early TPA files (v130 and v140) to ones working with the engine from the release (v150). The Readme say:

“This is a small program that updates the old version (v130 and v140) TPA files contained in earlier Trespasser builds, like Build 22 (E3 demo), Build 32 (PC Gamer demo) and Build 55, making a new version (v150) compatible with the engine from the Trespasser release (Builds 116 and 117).”


You can download it here: TPAupdate Download


TPA Player

This new TPA Player version now allows you to play any official TPA from any of the builds (22-117) we currently have.

You can download it here: TPA Player v4.0.9.5


Updated Sound Name Listings

machf have updated his Sounds Name Listings to include all the known ones. Currently there are around 50 sound names still to be discovered across all our current builds.

You can find these in our Documents section.


Draconisaurus Stop-Motion Videos

Last year our forum member Draconisaurus have done a few really cool stop-motion videos with dinosaurs in them. They are worth checking out and you can find them at his YouTube channel.

Pid reWrite And Canopy Valley
Written on March 13, 2019 at 3:06 pm, by tatu



Pid reWrite

For the past few weeks Rebel and machf have worked on a simple drag-and-drop tool to allow anyone to easily convert early v120 Pid’s into v130 ones (used by retail).

This way you are able to view the early levels from the E3 build (Build 22) and PCGamer build (Build 32) in TresEd in their original form. Unless you are able to run the early builds, this is an amazing utility. You can find it in our Downloads/Tools section or download it here: Pid reWrite Download


Canopy Valley




Draco thought the modding community had been quiet for a while so he fixed up one of his de-stress levels and put it up for release:

“Canopy Valley is a brief modding project of mind done mainly as stress-relief – a not-too-complex-mod with an assortment of terrain textures, models, and dinosaurs. The player gets to roam around a canopied forest landscape and hunt dinosaurs (sorry, no helicopters). Enjoy!”

Canopy Valley can be found in the Downloads/Levels section or downloaded here: Canopy Valley Download

JURASSIC TIME: The Preserved Hammond Recordings
Written on December 26, 2018 at 1:49 am, by scallenger






jurassictime.trescom.org/hammondaudiorecordings.html


Presented for the first time are the entire available recordings of Richard Attenborough’s performance of John Parker Hammond from the DreamWorks Interactive PC Game Trespasser- The Lost World: Jurassic Park. These were the same files featured in Jurassic Time: The Memoir Of John Parker Hammond- The Anniversary Edition, an audiobook-style presentation that included music from the game edited to carry the story. Most of the files are sourced from an early alpha version of the game that featured the best quality available. The retail version of the game featured degraded quality and dreamlike echo effects on the voice, whereas these are mostly the untouched recordings with fantastic sound. Some of the dialogue remains edited, in stereo, with minor atmospheric effects. A set of dialogue that reads an old diary entry sadly remains in intentionally degraded quality. Also included are a few alternate versions of the dialogue and some additional dialogue selected from the DreamWorks Interactive PC Game Chaos Island- The Lost World: Jurassic Park that is hard to come by (and sadly in bad quality). The files are all organized in folders in the order done for The Anniversary Edition. It should be noted that in the game files themselves there was no storytelling order at all; just a scattered, incoherent mess. After over a decade of different versions of The Memoir, I decided it was finally time to have the recordings themselves easily accessible. While I still firmly believe the The Anniversary Edition is the best way to experience Hammond’s story, I know these files have been long-requested. So here they are; preserved for all time.

Happy 20th Anniversary Trespasser!
Written on October 27, 2018 at 7:30 pm, by tatu



October 28, 1998 – Trespasser is released in stores around the world.

Trespasser ended up being criticized and sold very few copies, even being called worst game of the year. While some see the game as a failure, we the community do not. Many people have come and gone during the years, spreading the love of the game. Even 20 years after release the community is standing strong. During our existence we have created tons of content for the game – levels, models, fan fiction and several tools to aid us in modifying the game and create new content for it. A patch called CE Patch brought us better modern OS support among other cool contents to inspire people to create content for the game many years to come.


It is not only user made content the community have. During the years we have received original Trespasser content, including original documents, voiceover scripts, assets and early game builds, including long lost (cut) levels as Pine Valley and Plantation House.


For this anniversary we have some fun releases to share:


Update: Scallenger have released an Anniversary Edition of his Jurassic Time book, updated with some fantastic new art. You get find it on his Jurassic Time page.


Twitter Tag

Join us to spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #Trespasser20yrs to share your story, memory, screenshots or other Trespasser related thing to the world. This one was suggested by no other than the Trespasser developer Rolf Mohr 🙂


20th Anniversary Community Level




The most important content for Trespasser’s 20th anniversary is this 20th anniversary community level. The community have manage to work together and created this amazing piece of level. It can be played from start to finish and while it might contain some unpolished parts, it is the first time in many years the community have come together to work on a level. Give it a try and have fun! If used with the CE patch, you will get an awesome custom looking sky!


The level can be found in our levels section or downloaded here: Tres20_v0-3-4_Drac.rar (27.9 MB)


Rebel’s Crossbow Contest

For the 20th Anniversary Rebel did some cool work making a working crossbow. Of course this means we will have a contest. While we are unsure of any prices it will mainly be for fun and possibly some fun special forum role (if not already a member, join our forum!! 😉 ). There are both a standalone package using the ATX patch and a version of the CE patch made by TheIdiot. Ready, aim, fire! Do not cheat 😉 Take a screenshot and share your result on our forum!


You can find the standalone ATX package here: CrossBow_ATXPackage.zip (16.9 MB)

You can find the CE package here: CrossBow_CEPackage.zip (1.6 MB)


Post your scores at our forum: CrossBow Score Topic


Trespasser Millennium

Over the years we have seen a few modding suites for Trespasser containing all the required tools to create your own levels for the game. First we had Trespasser CE (not to be confused with the CE Patch), and then we had Trespasser Twilight. Now we have a new, update modding suite – Trespasser Millennium.


You can find it in out tools section or download it here: Tres_Millennium.7z (253.7 MB)


New Trespasser Fan Site

This was supposed to be a news post back in April but for whatever reason it was left as a draft.


It is not common these days. In fact, it is a rarity. It’s been a very long time since anyone created their own fan site for this game however, our forum member Melber have made one.


The website is still under construction, but give it all your support!


www.shenlor.wgz.cz/


TI’s Mega Jungle

For a few years now TheIdiot have released some versions of his Mega Jungle, a resource level that contain new content that other people can use in their levels. For the 20th anniversary, version 1.5 have been released, including “new usable Hawaiian Palms as well as the allosaurus I teased a while ago, plus a brand-new (but unfinished) willow tree, which I intend to eventually be part of a swamp-themed set of foliage. Additionally, the evergreens are now lower-poly so hopefully they won’t destroy your performance so much.”.


You can find the download in our editing section or download it here: TIMegaJungle_V0.5.zip (23.7 MB)


TI’s Trespasser Weapon Sound Overhaul

A long time ago TheIdiot did a weapon sound overhaul mod for an unknown user and have now decided to release it to the public. This can be used with ATX and CE, please see their documentation on how to use custom made TPA files.


You can find it in our editing section or download it here: WeaponSoundOverhaulTPA.zip (2.5 MB)


TPA Player

Not to be confused with TPA Reader, TPA Player is what its name suggest – a TPA player. It will allow you to play Trespasser TPA files like a small media player. A simple utility for anyone who only wants to listen through the audio without export it.


Found in our tools section or here: tpa_player_1.5_setup.zip (555.2 KB)

Site and forum issues!
Written on April 7, 2018 at 8:40 pm, by tatu



For the past few weeks we’ve had some experienced some issues with the site and forum, mainly were it is impossible to upload files over 1 MB. This apply to both regular members and the staff. This means it can be difficult to attach files to your forum post or that we can’t upload any new files to the site at the moment.


Another very important issue found out recently is that you will get an error if trying to download any file from our download section. If you are in a hurry or desperate want any file, feel free to ask on the forum and we will make sure to help you out!


Please have patience as these issues (and any other we will find) get sorted out.


EDIT: These issues have been fixed. Happy download!

List of DOS commands

In DOS, many standard system commands were provided for common tasks such as listing files on a disk or moving files. Some commands were built into the command interpreter, others existed as external commands on disk. Over the several generations of DOS, commands were added for the additional functions of the operating system. In the current Microsoft Windows operating system, a text-mode command prompt window, cmd.exe, can still be used.


Contents
Command processingDOS commands APPENDASSIGNATTRIBBACKUP and RESTOREBASIC and BASICABREAKCALLCD and CHDIRCHCPCHKDSKCHOICECLSCOMMANDCOMPCOPYCTTYDATEDBLBOOTDBLSPACEDEBUGDEFRAGDEL and ERASEDELTREEDIRDISKCOMPDISKCOPYDOSKEYDOSSIZEDRVSPACEECHOEDITEDLINEMM386ERASEEXE2BINEXITEXPANDFAKEMOUSFASTHELPFASTOPENFCFDISKFINDFINDSTRFORFORMATGOTOGRAFTABLGRAPHICSHELPIFINTERSVR and INTERLNKJOINKEYBLABELLINK4LOADFIXLOADHIGH and LHMD or MKDIRMEMMEMMAKERMIRRORMODEMOREMOVEMSAVMSBACKUPMSCDEXMSDMSHERCNLSFUNCPATHPAUSEPINGPOWERPRINTPRINTFIXPROMPTPSQBASICRD or RMDIRRECOVERREMRENREPLACERESTORESCANDISKSELECTSETSETUPSETVERSHARESHIFTSIZERSMARTDRVSORTSUBSTSYSTELNETTIMETITLETREETRUENAMETYPEUNDELETEUNFORMATVERVERIFYVOLVSAFEXCOPY See alsoReferencesFurther readingExternal links
Command processing
The command interpreter for DOS runs when no application programs are running. When an application exits, if the transient portion of the command interpreter in memory was overwritten, DOS will reload it from disk. Some commands are internal—built into COMMAND.COM; others are external commands stored on disk. When the user types a line of text at the operating system command prompt, COMMAND.COM will parse the line and attempt to match a command name to a built-in command or to the name of an executable program file or batch file on disk. If no match is found, an error message is printed, and the command prompt is refreshed.

External commands were too large to keep in the command processor, or were less frequently used. Such utility programs would be stored on disk and loaded just like regular application programs but were distributed with the operating system. Copies of these utility command programs had to be on an accessible disk, either on the current drive or on the command path set in the command interpreter.

In the list below, commands that can accept more than one file name, or a filename including wildcards (* and ?), are said to accept a filespec (file specification) parameter. Commands that can accept only a single file name are said to accept a filename parameter. Additionally, command line switches, or other parameter strings, can be supplied on the command line. Spaces and symbols such as a "/" or a "-" may be used to allow the command processor to parse the command line into filenames, file specifications, and other options.

The command interpreter preserves the case of whatever parameters are passed to commands, but the command names themselves and file names are case-insensitive.

Many commands are the same across many DOS systems, but some differ in command syntax or name.

DOS commands
A partial list of the most common commands for MS-DOS and IBM PC DOS follows below.

APPEND
Sets the path to be searched for data files or displays the current search path. The APPEND command is similar to the PATH command that tells DOS where to search for program files (files with a .COM, . EXE, or .BAT file name extension).

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3.2 and later.[1]

ASSIGN
Further information: Drive letter assignment
The command redirects requests for disk operations on one drive to a different drive. It can also display drive assignments or reset all drive letters to their original assignments.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3 through 5 and IBM PC DOS releases 2 through 5.[1]

ATTRIB
Main article: ATTRIB
Attrib changes or views the attributes of one or more files. It defaults to display the attributes of all files in the current directory. The file attributes available include read-only, archive, system, and hidden attributes. The command has the capability to process whole folders and subfolders of files and also process all files.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3 and later.[1]

BACKUP and RESTORE
These are commands to backup and restore files from an external disk. These appeared in version 2, and continued to PC DOS 5 and MS-DOS 6 (PC DOS 7 had a deversioned check). In DOS 6, these were replaced by commercial programs (CPBACKUP, MSBACKUP), which allowed files to be restored to different locations.[1]

BASIC and BASICA
Main article: IBM BASIC
An implementation of the BASIC programming language for PCs. Implementing BASIC in this way was very common in operating systems on 8- and 16-bit machines made in the 1980s.

IBM computers had BASIC 1.1 in ROM, and IBM's versions of BASIC used code in this ROM-BASIC, which allowed for extra memory in the code area. BASICA last appeared in IBM PC DOS 5.02, and in OS/2 (2.0 and later), the version had ROM-BASIC moved into the program code.

Microsoft released GW-BASIC for machines with no ROM-BASIC. Some OEM releases had basic.com and basica.com as loaders for GW-BASIC.EXE.

BASIC was dropped after MS-DOS 4, and PC DOS 5.02. OS/2 (which uses PC DOS 5), has it, while MS-DOS 5 does not.

BREAK
This command is used to instruct DOS to check whether the Ctrl and Break keys have been pressed before carrying out a program request.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later.[1]

CALL
See also: start (command)
Starts a batch file from within another batch file and returns when that one ends.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3.3 and later.[1]

CD and CHDIR
Main article: cd (command)
The CHDIR (or the alternative name CD) command either displays or changes the current working directory.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later.[1]

CHCP
The command either displays or changes the active code page used to display character glyphs in a console window. Similar functionality can be achieved with MODE CON: CP SELECT=yyy.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3.3 and later.[1]

CHKDSK
Main article: CHKDSK
CHKDSK verifies a storage volume (for example, a hard disk, disk partition or floppy disk) for file system integrity. The command has the ability to fix errors on a volume and recover information from defective disk sectors of a volume.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 1 and later.[1]

CHOICE
Main article: choice (command)
The CHOICE command is used in batch files to prompt the user to select one item from a set of single-character choices. Choice was introduced as an external command with MS-DOS 6.0;[1][2] Novell DOS 7[3] and PC DOS 7.0. Earlier versions of DR-DOS supported this function with the built-in switch command (for numeric choices) or by beginning a command with a question mark.[3] This command was formerly called ync (yes-no-cancel).

CLS
Main article: CLS (command)
The CLS or CLRSCR command clears the terminal screen.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later.[1]

COMMAND
Main article: COMMAND.COM
Start a new instance of the command interpreter.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 1 and later.[1]

COMP
Main article: comp (command)
Show differences between any two files, or any two sets of files.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3.3 through 5 and IBM PC DOS releases 1 through 5.[1]

COPY
Main article: copy (command)
Makes copies of existing files.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 1 and later.[1]

CTTY
Defines the terminal device (for example, COM1) to use for input and output.[4]

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later.[1]

DATE
Displays the system date and prompts the user to enter a new date. Complements the TIME command.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 1 and later.[1]

DBLBOOT
(Not a command: This is a batch file added to DOS 6.X Supplemental Disks to help create DoubleSpace boot floppies—see jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/100/Q100021/)

[icon]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2019)
DBLSPACE
Main article: DriveSpace
A disk compression utility supplied with MS-DOS version 6.0 (released in 1993) and version 6.2.[1]

DEBUG
Main article: debug (command)
A very primitive assembler and disassambler.

DEFRAG
Main article: Microsoft Drive Optimizer
The command has the ability to analyze the file fragmentation on a disk drive or to defragment a drive. This command is called DEFRAG in MS-DOS/PC DOS and diskopt in DR-DOS.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 6 and later.[1]

DEL and ERASE
Main article: del (command)
DEL (or the alternative form ERASE) is used to delete one or more files.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 1 and later.[1]

DELTREE
Main article: DELTREE
Deletes a directory along with all of the files and subdirectories that it contains. Normally, it will ask for confirmation of the potentially dangerous action. Since the RD (RMDIR) command can not delete a directory if the directory is not empty, the DELTREE command can be used to delete the whole directory.

The deltree command is included in certain versions of Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS operating systems. It is specifically available only in versions of MS-DOS 6.0 and higher,[1] and in Microsoft Windows 9x. In Windows NT, the functionality provided exists but is handled by the command rd or rmdir which has slightly different syntax. This command is not present in Windows 7 and later versions.

DIR
Main article: dir (command)
The DIR command displays the contents of a directory. The contents comprise the disk's volume label and serial number; one directory or filename per line, including the filename extension, the file size in bytes, and the date and time the file was last modified; and the total number of files listed, their cumulative size, and the free space (in bytes) remaining on the disk. The command is one of the few commands that exist from the first versions of DOS.[1] The command can display files in subdirectories. The resulting directory listing can be sorted by various criteria and filenames can be displayed in a chosen format.

DISKCOMP
Main article: diskcomp
A command for comparing the complete contents of a floppy disk to another one.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 3.2 and later and IBM PC DOS releases 1 and later.[1]

DISKCOPY
Main article: diskcopy
A command for copying the complete contents of a diskette to another diskette.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later.[1]

DOSKEY
Main article: DOSKEY
A command that adds command history, macro functionality, and improved editing features to the command-line interpreter.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 5 and later.[1]

DOSSIZE
[icon]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2020)
Displays how much memory various DOS components occupy.[5]

DRVSPACE
Main article: DriveSpace
A disk compression utility supplied with MS-DOS version 6.22.[1]

ECHO
Main article: echo (command)
The ECHO command prints its own arguments back out to the DOS equivalent of the standard output stream. (Hence the name, ECHO) Usually, this means directly to the screen, but the output of echo can be redirected, like any other command, to files or devices. Often used in batch files to print text out to the user.

Another important use of the echo command is to toggle echoing of commands on and off in batch files. Traditionally batch files begin with the @echo off statement. This says to the interpreter that echoing of commands should be off during the whole execution of the batch file, thus resulting in a "tidier" output (the @ symbol declares that this particular command (echo off) should also be executed without echo.)

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later.[1]

EDIT
Main article: MS-DOS Editor
EDIT is a full-screen text editor, included with MS-DOS versions 5 and 6,[1] OS/2 and Windows NT to 4.0 The corresponding program in Windows 95 and later, and Windows 2000 and later is Edit v2.0. PC DOS 6 and later use the DOS E Editor and DR-DOS used editor up to version 7.

EDLIN
Main article: Edlin
DOS line-editor. It can be used with a script file, like debug, this makes it of some use even today. The absence of a console editor in MS-DOS/PC DOS 1–4 created an after-market for third-party editors.

In DOS 5, an extra command "?" was added to give the user much-needed help.

DOS 6 was the last version to contain EDLIN; for MS-DOS 6, it's on the supplemental disks,[1] while PC DOS 6 had it in the base install. Windows NT 32-bit, and OS/2 have Edlin.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 4 and later.[1]

MEMMAKER
Starting with version 6,[1] MS-DOS included the external program MemMaker which was used to free system memory (especially Conventional memory) by automatically reconfiguring the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. This was usually done by moving TSR programs and device drivers to the upper memory. The whole process required two system restarts. Before the first restart the user was asked whether to enable EMS Memory, since use of expanded memory required a reserved 64KiB region in upper memory. The first restart inserted the SIZER.EXE program which gauged the memory needed by each TSR or Driver. MemMaker would then calculate the optimal Driver and TSR placement in upper memory and modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS accordingly, and reboot the second time.[13]

MEMMAKER.EXE and SIZER.EXE were developed for Microsoft by Helix Software Company and were eliminated starting in MS-DOS 7 (Windows 95); however, they could be obtained from Microsoft's FTP server as part of the OLDDOS.EXE package, alongside other tools.

PC DOS uses another program called RamBoost to optimize memory, working either with PC DOS's HIMEM/EMM386 or a third-party memory manager. RamBoost was licensed to IBM by Central Point Software.

TRUENAME
The TRUENAME command will expand the name of a file, directory, or drive, and display the result. It will expand an abbreviated form which the command processor can recognise into its full form. It can see through SUBST and JOIN to find the actual directory.

MS-DOS can find files and directories given their names, without full path information, if the search object is on a path specified by the environment variable PATH. For example, if PATH includes C:\PROGRAMS, and file MYPROG.EXE is on this directory, then if MYPROG is typed at the command prompt, the command processor will execute C:\PROGRAMS\MYPROG.EXE. In this case,

TRUENAME MYPROG
would display

C:\PROGRAMS\MYPROG.EXE
This command displays the UNC pathnames of mapped network or local CD drives. This command is an undocumented DOS command. The help switch "/?" defines it as a "Reserved command name". It is available in MS-DOS 5.00.0. This command is similar to the which command, which, given an executable found in $PATH, would give a full path and name. The C library function realpath performs this function. The Microsoft Windows command processors do not support this command.

TYPE
Main article: TYPE (DOS command)
Displays a file. The more command is frequently used in conjunction with this command, e.g. type long-text-file | more. TYPE can be used to concatenate files (type file1 file2 > file3); however this won't work for large files[dubious – discuss][citation needed]—use copy command instead.

The command is available in MS-DOS versions 1 and later.[1]

UNDELETE
Main article: Undeletion
Restores file previously deleted with del. By default all recoverable files in the working directory are restored; options are used to change this behavior. If the MS-DOS mirror TSR program is used, then deletion tracking files are created and can be used by undelete.

Communication protocol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Network protocol)
Jump to navigationJump to search
A communication protocol is a system of rules that allow two or more entities of a communications system to transmit information via any kind of variation of a physical quantity. The protocol defines the rules, syntax, semantics and synchronization of communication and possible error recovery methods. Protocols may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of both.[1]

Communicating systems use well-defined formats for exchanging various messages. Each message has an exact meaning intended to elicit a response from a range of possible responses pre-determined for that particular situation. The specified behavior is typically independent of how it is to be implemented. Communication protocols have to be agreed upon by the parties involved.[2] To reach an agreement, a protocol may be developed into a technical standard. A programming language describes the same for computations, so there is a close analogy between protocols and programming languages: protocols are to communication what programming languages are to computations.[3] An alternate formulation states that protocols are to communication what algorithms are to computation.[4]

Multiple protocols often describe different aspects of a single communication. A group of protocols designed to work together is known as a protocol suite; when implemented in software they are a protocol stack.

Internet communication protocols are published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) handles wired and wireless networking and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) handles other types. The ITU-T handles telecommunication protocols and formats for the public switched telephone network (PSTN). As the PSTN and Internet converge, the standards are also being driven towards convergence.

History
One of the first uses of the term protocol in a data-commutation context occurs in a memorandum entitled A Protocol for Use in the NPL Data Communications Network written by Roger Scantlebury and Keith Bartlett in April 1967.[5][6]

On the ARPANET, the starting point for host-to-host communication in 1969 was the 1822 protocol, which defined the transmission of messages to an IMP.[7] The Network Control Program for the ARPANET was first implemented in 1970.[8] The NCP interface allowed application software to connect across the ARPANET by implementing higher-level communication protocols, an early example of the protocol layering concept.[9]

Networking research in the early 1970s by Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf led to the formulation of the Transmission Control Program (TCP).[10] Its RFC 675 specification was written by Cerf with Yogen Dalal and Carl Sunshine in December 1974, still a monolithic design at this time.

The International Networking Working Group agreed a connectionless datagram standard which was presented to the CCIT in 1975 but was not adopted by the ITU or by the ARPANET.[11] International research, particularly the work of Rémi Després, contributed to the development of the X.25 standard, based on virtual circuits by the ITU-T in 1976.[12][13] Computer manufacturers developed proprietary protocols such as IBM's Systems Network Architecture (SNA), Digital Equipment Corporation's DECnet and Xerox Network Systems.[14]

TCP software was redesigned as a modular protocol stack. Originally referred to as IP/TCP, it was installed on SATNET in 1982 and on the ARPANET in January 1983. The development of a complete protocol suite by 1989, as outlined in RFC 1122 and RFC 1123, laid the foundation for the growth of TCP/IP as a comprehensive protocol suite as the core component of the emerging Internet.[15]

International work on a reference model for communication standards led to the OSI model, published in 1984. For a period in the late 1980s and early 1990s, engineers, organizations and nations became polarized over the issue of which standard, the OSI model or the Internet protocol suite, would result in the best and most robust computer networks.[16][17][18]

Concept
The information exchanged between devices through a network or other media is governed by rules and conventions that can be set out in communication protocol specifications. The nature of communication, the actual data exchanged and any state-dependent behaviors, is defined by these specifications. In digital computing systems, the rules can be expressed by algorithms and data structures. Protocols are to communication what algorithms or programming languages are to computations.[3][4]

Operating systems usually contain a set of cooperating processes that manipulate shared data to communicate with each other. This communication is governed by well-understood protocols, which can be embedded in the process code itself.[19][20] In contrast, because there is no shared memory, communicating systems have to communicate with each other using a shared transmission medium. Transmission is not necessarily reliable, and individual systems may use different hardware or operating systems.

To implement a networking protocol, the protocol software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system. This framework implements the networking functionality of the operating system.[21] When protocol algorithms are expressed in a portable programming language the protocol software may be made operating system independent. The best-known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model.

At the time the Internet was developed, abstraction layering had proven to be a successful design approach for both compiler and operating system design and, given the similarities between programming languages and communication protocols, the originally monolithic networking programs were decomposed into cooperating protocols.[22] This gave rise to the concept of layered protocols which nowadays forms the basis of protocol design.[23]

Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol suite.[24] Some of the best known protocol suites are TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25 and AppleTalk.

The protocols can be arranged based on functionality in groups, for instance, there is a group of transport protocols. The functionalities are mapped onto the layers, each layer solving a distinct class of problems relating to, for instance: application-, transport-, internet- and network interface-functions.[25] To transmit a message, a protocol has to be selected from each layer. The selection of the next protocol is accomplished by extending the message with a protocol selector for each layer.[26]

Basic requirements
Getting the data across a network is only part of the problem for a protocol. The data received has to be evaluated in the context of the progress of the conversation, so a protocol must include rules describing the context. These kind of rules are said to express the syntax of the communication. Other rules determine whether the data is meaningful for the context in which the exchange takes place. These kind of rules are said to express the semantics of the communication.

Messages are sent and received on communicating systems to establish communication. Protocols should therefore specify rules governing the transmission. In general, much of the following should be addressed:[27]

Data formats for data exchange
Digital message bitstrings are exchanged. The bitstrings are divided in fields and each field carries information relevant to the protocol. Conceptually the bitstring is divided into two parts called the header and the payload. The actual message is carried in the payload. The header area contains the fields with relevance to the operation of the protocol. Bitstrings longer than the maximum transmission unit (MTU) are divided in pieces of appropriate size.[28]
Address formats for data exchange
Addresses are used to identify both the sender and the intended receiver(s). The addresses are carried in the header area of the bitstrings, allowing the receivers to determine whether the bitstrings are of interest and should be processed or should be ignored. A connection between a sender and a receiver can be identified using an address pair (sender address, receiver address). Usually, some address values have special meanings. An all-1s address could be taken to mean an addressing of all stations on the network, so sending to this address would result in a broadcast on the local network. The rules describing the meanings of the address value are collectively called an addressing scheme.[29]
Address mapping
Sometimes protocols need to map addresses of one scheme on addresses of another scheme. For instance to translate a logical IP address specified by the application to an Ethernet MAC address. This is referred to as address mapping.[30]
Routing
When systems are not directly connected, intermediary systems along the route to the intended receiver(s) need to forward messages on behalf of the sender. On the Internet, the networks are connected using routers. The interconnection of networks through routers is called internetworking.
Detection of transmission errors
Error detection is necessary on networks where data corruption is possible. In a common approach, a CRC of the data area is added to the end of packets, making it possible for the receiver to detect differences caused by corruption. The receiver rejects the packets on CRC differences and arranges somehow for retransmission.[31]
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgement of correct reception of packets is required for connection-oriented communication. Acknowledgments are sent from receivers back to their respective senders.[32]
Loss of information - timeouts and retries
Packets may be lost on the network or be delayed in transit. To cope with this, under some protocols, a sender may expect an acknowledgment of correct reception from the receiver within a certain amount of time. Thus, on timeouts, the sender may need to retransmit the information. In case of a permanently broken link, the retransmission has no effect so the number of retransmissions is limited. Exceeding the retry limit is considered an error.[33]
Direction of information flow
Direction needs to be addressed if transmissions can only occur in one direction at a time as on half-duplex links or from one sender at a time as on a shared medium. This is known as media access control. Arrangements have to be made to accommodate the case of collision or contention where two parties respectively simultaneously transmit or wish to transmit.[34]
Sequence control
If long bitstrings are divided into pieces and then sent on the network individually, the pieces may get lost or delayed or, on some types of networks, take different routes to their destination. As a result, pieces may arrive out of sequence. Retransmissions can result in duplicate pieces. By marking the pieces with sequence information at the sender, the receiver can determine what was lost or duplicated, ask for necessary retransmissions and reassemble the original message.[35]
Flow control
Flow control is needed when the sender transmits faster than the receiver or intermediate network equipment can process the transmissions. Flow control can be implemented by messaging from receiver to sender.[36]
Queueing
Communicating processes or state machines employ queues (or "buffers"), usually FIFO queues, to deal with the messages in the order sent, and may sometimes have multiple queues with different prioritization
Protocol design
Systems engineering principles have been applied to create a set of common network protocol design principles. The design of complex protocols often involves decomposition into simpler, cooperating protocols. Such a set of cooperating protocols is sometimes called a protocol family or a protocol suite,[24] within a conceptual framework.

Communicating systems operate concurrently. An important aspect of concurrent programming is the synchronization of software for receiving and transmitting messages of communication in proper sequencing. Concurrent programming has traditionally been a topic in operating systems theory texts.[37] Formal verification seems indispensable because concurrent programs are notorious for the hidden and sophisticated bugs they contain.[38] A mathematical approach to the study of concurrency and communication is referred to as communicating sequential processes (CSP).[39] Concurrency can also be modeled using finite state machines, such as Mealy and Moore machines. Mealy and Moore machines are in use as design tools in digital electronics systems encountered in the form of hardware used in telecommunication or electronic devices in general.[40][better source needed]

The literature presents numerous analogies between computer communication and programming. In analogy, a transfer mechanism of a protocol is comparable to a central processing unit (CPU). The framework introduces rules that allow the programmer to design cooperating protocols independently of one another.

Layering
Figure 2. Protocols in relation to the Internet layering scheme.
Figure 2. The TCP/IP model or Internet layering scheme and its relation to some common protocols.
In modern protocol design, protocols are layered to form a protocol stack. Layering is a design principle that divides the protocol design task into smaller steps, each of which accomplishes a specific part, interacting with the other parts of the protocol only in a small number of well-defined ways. Layering allows the parts of a protocol to be designed and tested without a combinatorial explosion of cases, keeping each design relatively simple.

The communication protocols in use on the Internet are designed to function in diverse and complex settings. Internet protocols are designed for simplicity and modularity and fit into a coarse hierarchy of functional layers defined in the Internet Protocol Suite.[41] The first two cooperating protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP) resulted from the decomposition of the original Transmission Control Program, a monolithic communication protocol, into this layered communication suite.

The OSI model was developed internationally based on experience with networks that predated the internet as a reference model for general communication with much stricter rules of protocol interaction and rigorous layering.

Typically, application software is built upon a robust data transport layer. Underlying this transport layer is a datagram delivery and routing mechanism that is typically connectionless in the Internet. Packet relaying across networks happens over another layer that involves only network link technologies, which are often specific to certain physical layer technologies, such as Ethernet. Layering provides opportunities to exchange technologies when needed, for example, protocols are often stacked in a tunneling arrangement to accommodate the connection of dissimilar networks. For example, IP may be tunneled across an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network.

Protocol layering
Figure 3. Message flows using a protocol suite.
Figure 3. Message flows using a protocol suite. Black loops show the actual messaging loops, red loops are the effective communication between layers enabled by the lower layers.
Protocol layering forms the basis of protocol design.[23] It allows the decomposition of single, complex protocols into simpler, cooperating protocols.[41] The protocol layers each solve a distinct class of communication problems. Together, the layers make up a layering scheme or model.

Computations deal with algorithms and data; Communication involves protocols and messages; So the analog of a data flow diagram is some kind of message flow diagram.[4] To visualize protocol layering and protocol suites, a diagram of the message flows in and between two systems, A and B, is shown in figure 3. The systems, A and B, both make use of the same protocol suite. The vertical flows (and protocols) are in-system and the horizontal message flows (and protocols) are between systems. The message flows are governed by rules, and data formats specified by protocols. The blue lines mark the boundaries of the (horizontal) protocol layers.

Software layering
Figure 5: protocol and software layering
Figure 5: Protocol and software layering. The software modules implementing the protocols are represented by cubes. The information flow between the modules is represented by arrows. The (top two horizontal) red arrows are virtual. The blue lines mark the layer boundaries.
The software supporting protocols has a layered organization and its relationship with protocol layering is shown in figure 5.

To send a message on system A, the top-layer software module interacts with the module directly below it and hands over the message to be encapsulated. The lower module fills in the header data in accordance with the protocol it implements and interacts with the bottom module which sends the message over the communications channel to the bottom module of system B. On the receiving system B the reverse happens, so ultimately the message gets delivered in its original form to the top module of system B.[42]

Program translation is divided into subproblems. As a result, the translation software is layered as well, allowing the software layers to be designed independently. The same approach can be seen in the TCP/IP layering.[43]

The modules below the application layer are generally considered part of the operating system. Passing data between these modules is much less expensive than passing data between an application program and the transport layer. The boundary between the application layer and the transport layer is called the operating system boundary.[44]

Strict layering
Strictly adhering to a layered model, a practice known as strict layering, is not always the best approach to networking.[45] Strict layering can have a serious impact on the performance of the implementation, so there is at least a trade-off between simplicity and performance.[46]

While the use of protocol layering is today ubiquitous across the field of computer networking, it has been historically criticized by many researchers[47] for two principal reasons. Firstly, abstracting the protocol stack in this way may cause a higher layer to duplicate the functionality of a lower layer, a prime example being error recovery on both a per-link basis and an end-to-end basis.[48]

Design patterns for application layer protocols
Commonly reoccurring problems in the design and implementation of communication protocols can be addressed by patterns from several different pattern languages: Pattern Language for Application-level Communication Protocols (CommDP),[49][50] Service Design Patterns,[51] Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture,[52] Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture: A Pattern Language for Distributed Computing.[53] The first of these pattern languages focuses on the design of protocols and not their implementations. The others address issues in either both areas or just the latter.

Formal specification
Formal methods of describing communication syntax are Abstract Syntax Notation One (an ISO standard) and Augmented Backus-Naur form (an IETF standard).

Finite state machine models[54][55] and communicating finite-state machines[56] are used to formally describe the possible interactions of the protocol.

Protocol development
For communication to occur, protocols have to be selected. The rules can be expressed by algorithms and data structures. Hardware and operating system independence is enhanced by expressing the algorithms in a portable programming language. Source independence of the specification provides wider interoperability.

Protocol standards are commonly created by obtaining the approval or support of a standards organization, which initiates the standardization process. This activity is referred to as protocol development. The members of the standards organization agree to adhere to the work result on a voluntary basis. Often the members are in control of large market-shares relevant to the protocol and in many cases, standards are enforced by law or the government because they are thought to serve an important public interest, so getting approval can be very important for the protocol.

The need for protocol standards
The need for protocol standards can be shown by looking at what happened to the bi-sync protocol (BSC) invented by IBM. BSC is an early link-level protocol used to connect two separate nodes. It was originally not intended to be used in a multinode network, but doing so revealed several deficiencies of the protocol. In the absence of standardization, manufacturers and organizations felt free to 'enhance' the protocol, creating incompatible versions on their networks. In some cases, this was deliberately done to discourage users from using equipment from other manufacturers. There are more than 50 variants of the original bi-sync protocol. One can assume, that a standard would have prevented at least some of this from happening.[21]

In some cases, protocols gain market dominance without going through a standardization process. Such protocols are referred to as de facto standards. De facto standards are common in emerging markets, niche markets, or markets that are monopolized (or oligopolized). They can hold a market in a very negative grip, especially when used to scare away competition. From a historical perspective, standardization should be seen as a measure to counteract the ill-effects of de facto standards. Positive exceptions exist; a 'de facto standard' operating system like GNU/Linux does not have this negative grip on its market, because the sources are published and maintained in an open way, thus inviting competition. Standardization is therefore not the only solution for open systems interconnection.

Standards Organizations
Some of the standards organizations of relevance for communication protocols are the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The IETF maintains the protocols in use on the Internet. The IEEE controls many software and hardware protocols in the electronics industry for commercial and consumer devices. The ITU is an umbrella organization of telecommunication engineers designing the public switched telephone network (PSTN), as well as many radio communication systems. For marine electronics the NMEA standards are used. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) produces protocols and standards for Web technologies.

International standards organizations are supposed to be more impartial than local organizations with a national or commercial self-interest to consider. Standards organizations also do research and development for standards of the future. In practice, the standards organizations mentioned, cooperate closely with each other.[57]

The Standardization Process
The standardization process starts off with ISO commissioning a sub-committee workgroup. The workgroup issues working drafts and discussion documents to interested parties (including other standards bodies) in order to provoke discussion and comments. This will generate a lot of questions, much discussion and usually some disagreement on what the standard should provide and if it can satisfy all needs (usually not). All conflicting views should be taken into account, often by way of compromise, to progress to a draft proposal of the working group.

The draft proposal is discussed by the member countries' standard bodies and other organizations within each country. Comments and suggestions are collated and national views will be formulated, before the members of ISO vote on the proposal. If rejected, the draft proposal has to consider the objections and counter-proposals to create a new draft proposal for another vote. After a lot of feedback, modification, and compromise the proposal reaches the status of a draft international standard, and ultimately an international standard.

The process normally takes several years to complete. The original paper draft created by the designer will differ substantially from the standard, and will contain some of the following 'features':

Various optional modes of operation, for example, to allow for setup of different packet sizes at startup time, because the parties could not reach consensus on the optimum packet size.
Parameters that are left undefined or allowed to take on values of a defined set at the discretion of the implementor. This often reflects conflicting views of some of the members.
Parameters reserved for future use, reflecting that the members agreed the facility should be provided, but could not reach agreement on how this should be done in the available time.
Various inconsistencies and ambiguities will inevitably be found when implementing the standard.
International standards are reissued periodically to handle the deficiencies and reflect changing views on the subject.[58]

OSI Standardisation
A lesson learned from ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet, was that protocols need a framework to operate. It is therefore important to develop a general-purpose, future-proof framework suitable for structured protocols (such as layered protocols) and their standardization. This would prevent protocol standards with overlapping functionality and would allow clear definition of the responsibilities of a protocol at the different levels (layers).[59] This gave rise to the OSI Open Systems Interconnection reference model (RM/OSI), which is used as a framework for the design of standard protocols and services conforming to the various layer specifications.[60]

In the OSI model, communicating systems are assumed to be connected by an underlying physical medium providing a basic (and unspecified) transmission mechanism. The layers above it are numbered (from one to seven); the nth layer is referred to as (n)-layer. Each layer provides service to the layer above it (or at the top to the application process) using the services of the layer immediately below it. The layers communicate with each other by means of an interface, called a service access point. Corresponding layers at each system are called peer entities. To communicate, two peer entities at a given layer use an (n)-protocol, which is implemented by using services of the (n-1)-layer. When systems are not directly connected, intermediate peer entities (called relays) are used. An address uniquely identifies a service access point. The address naming domains need not be restricted to one layer, so it is possible to use just one naming domain for all layers.[61] For each layer, there are two types of standards: protocol standards defining how peer entities at a given layer communicate, and service standards defining how a given layer communicates with the layer above it.

In the original version of RM/OSI, the layers and their functionality are (from highest to lowest layer):

The Application layer may provide the following services to the application processes: identification of the intended communication partners, establishment of the necessary authority to communicate, determination of availability and authentication of the partners, agreement on privacy mechanisms for the communication, agreement on responsibility for error recovery and procedures for ensuring data integrity, synchronization between cooperating application processes, identification of any constraints on syntax (e.g. character sets and data structures), determination of cost and acceptable quality of service, selection of the dialogue discipline, including required logon and logoff procedures.[62]
The presentation layer may provide the following services to the application layer: a request for the establishment of a session, data transfer, negotiation of the syntax to be used between the application layers, any necessary syntax transformations, formatting and special purpose transformations (e.g. data compression and data encryption).[63]
The session layer may provide the following services to the presentation layer: establishment and release of session connections, normal and expedited data exchange, a quarantine service which allows the sending presentation entity to instruct the receiving session entity not to release data to its presentation entity without permission, interaction management so presentation entities can control whose turn it is to perform certain control functions, resynchronization of a session connection, reporting of unrecoverable exceptions to the presentation entity.[64]
The transport layer provides reliable and transparent data transfer in a cost-effective way as required by the selected quality of service. It may support the multiplexing of several transport connections on to one network connection or split one transport connection into several network connections.[65]
The network layer does the setup, maintenance and release of network paths between transport peer entities. When relays are needed, routing and relay functions are provided by this layer. The quality of service is negotiated between network and transport entities at the time the connection is set up. This layer is also responsible for network congestion control.[66]
The data link layer does the setup, maintenance and release of data link connections. Errors occurring in the physical layer are detected and may be corrected. Errors are reported to the network layer. The exchange of data link units (including flow control) is defined by this layer.[67]
The physical layer describes details like the electrical characteristics of the physical connection, the transmission techniques used, and the setup, maintenance and clearing of physical connections.[68]
In contrast to the TCP/IP layering scheme, which assumes a connectionless network, RM/OSI assumed a connection-oriented network. Connection-oriented networks are more suitable for wide area networks and connectionless networks are more suitable for local area networks. Using connections to communicate implies some form of session and (virtual) circuits, hence the (in the TCP/IP model lacking) session layer. The constituent members of ISO were mostly concerned with wide area networks, so development of RM/OSI concentrated on connection-oriented networks and connectionless networks were only mentioned in an addendum to RM/OSI.[69] At the time, the IETF had to cope with this and the fact that the Internet needed protocols that simply were not there. As a result, the IETF developed its own standardization process based on "rough consensus and running code".[70]

The standardization process is described by RFC2026.

Nowadays, the IETF has become a standards organization for the protocols in use on the Internet. RM/OSI has extended its model to include connectionless services and because of this, both TCP and IP could be developed into international standards.

Taxonomies
Classification schemes for protocols usually focus on the domain of use and function. As an example of domain of use, connection-oriented protocols and connectionless protocols are used on connection-oriented networks and connectionless networks respectively. An example of function is a tunneling protocol, which is used to encapsulate packets in a high-level protocol so that the packets can be passed across a transport system using the high-level protocol.

A layering scheme combines both function and domain of use. The dominant layering schemes are the ones proposed by the IETF and by ISO. Despite the fact that the underlying assumptions of the layering schemes are different enough to warrant distinguishing the two, it is a common practice to compare the two by relating common protocols to the layers of the two schemes.[71]

The layering scheme from the IETF is called Internet layering or TCP/IP layering.

The layering scheme from ISO is called the OSI model or ISO layering.

In networking equipment configuration, a term-of-art distinction is often drawn: The term "protocol" strictly refers to the transport layer, and the term "service" refers to protocols utilizing a "protocol" for transport. In the common case of TCP and UDP, services are distinguished by port numbers. Conformance to these port numbers is voluntary, so in content inspection systems the term "service" strictly refers to port numbers, and the term "application" is often used to refer to protocols identified through inspection signatures.

Notes
Failure to receive an acknowledgment indicates that either the original transmission or the acknowledgment was lost. The sender has no means to distinguish these cases and therefore, to ensure all data is received, must make the conservative assumption that the original transmission was lost.

Who We Are
----------
Rapala: 3DGN Staff Writer
Sub-Ubi: 3DGN Staff Writer
Stickyii: 3DGN CEO
Bakshra: Contaminated.net Web pimp
DreamWork: Seamus, Brady, Paul, Austin, all under one nick! Really makes you think...
----------

<Rapala> ok everyone
<Rapala> Welcome to the 3DGaming.Net Trespasser chat
<Rapala> You will msg all your questions to me
<Rapala> Only me
<Sub-Ubi> sorry
<Sub-Ubi>
<Rapala> type "/msg Rapala Your question here
<Rapala> "<Sub-Ubi> "/msg rapla do the dinosaurs have two sexes, like we do?
<Rapala> Ok, welcome Dreamworks. Why dont you guys introduce yourselves and say a few things if you want
<Dritzen> "/msg rapala is it true about you and the chocolate chastity belt?"
<Bakshra> heh
<Dritzen> (sorry, out of place)
<DreamWork> Hello all. We have here Seamus, Brady, Paul, and Austin, and we're very psyched to be here.
<Cool> mine's caramel
<DreamWork> The dinosaurs will indeed have two sexes. We've worked pretty hard to add differentiation within species.
<stickyii> how can you tell?
<Bakshra> The females should be bigger
<Cool> sticky, hehe
<DreamWork> Bakshra is correct, there.
<Bakshra> hehe
<Cool> I heard something about there not being explosions/fire, what's up with that? I was looking forward to torching dinos
<Rapala> hold on one sec guys, the questions will start in a sec
<Rapala> Ok DreamWorks, go ahead and answer Cool's, then I will start with the ones msged to me
<Cool> i'll repeat
<Cool> I heard something about there not being explosions/fire, what's up with that? I was looking forward to torching dinos
<Cool> rapala, check his pulse..
<Rapala> hahah
<DreamWork> We only wanted to show things that we could render extremely well and physically correctly, e.g. like the water. We didn't have a good way to do fire as well, so it doesn't go in. We will have muzzle flashes, however.
<Cool> good enough
<Rapala> *GiB_WaKeR* have they decided yet if they will release a demo?
<DreamWork> We wouldn't want to do anything to push the release date, would you? But if you guys want one bad enough...
<Rapala> *Bobby* Is the music in trespasser composed on keyboard/midi? Or will the music feature a real intruments? IE: violins, trumpets, etc... something never seen in video games.
<Cool> (the music in Monolith's Blood was real composed instrumental music)
<DreamWork> Our music is all orchestral, although it is recorded electronically. It is not MIDI, it streams. We are pretty blown away by it. Also, it plays on triggers, so it is reactive in a lot of situations.
<Rapala> <MajorNut> So what do you think the overall gaming status will be. Do you think a lot of gamers will like the game or find it too confusing?*** hurry is now known as bombad
<DreamWork> We're being very careful with ramping up, orienting the player. The basic controls are a lot like Quake, and we add new things slowly, one at a time. So I don't think players will have too much trouble.
<Rapala> <Bakshra> How far can the player "see" before the engine cuts off the view plane?
<DreamWork> About a kilometer (.6 miles), when you're up on a high place. In a few cases, further.
<Rapala> *Evilyam* How will the inventory system work? Can you clip stuff to your belt?
<DreamWork> Yes, that's right. If you look down, you can see it (e.g. a pistol) on your hip.
<Stusser> wow
<Stusser> heh
<Rapala> *WshMaster* Will the water flow or are there just ponds/lakes?
<DreamWork> Will waterfalls do it for you?
<Bakshra> whoa, neat
<Rapala> *Mac_Daddy* .. i know trespasser has 3dfx support .. but all the screenshots iv seen are in software... will trespasser have hardware graphics ... or just 3dfx with software rendering?
<DreamWork> All current major cards will be supported; all graphics will be rendered in hardware except those that are bumpmapped. Currently bumpmapping is not well supported in hardware.
<Rapala> <Xynder> how do you think gamers will feel only being able to take a minimal amount of damage?
<DreamWork> I think what you want to know is, how does damage work?
<Cool> makes the game only more exciting
<Cool> actually gives the player incentive to ligve
<Rapala> like action quake maybe
<Stusser> Is damage region-specific? If you get hurt in the left leg, do you limp around?
<Cool> that wouldn't be too fun
<DreamWork> No, we figure that would be frustrating. The dinos have hit-location, though. Head-shots are devastatiing, and they pretty much shrug off hits to the tail.
<Stusser> it'd be an incentive to duck
<Cool> are there damage skins? or are those too memory consuming in a game like trespasser
<DreamWork> Let me put it this way -- you will not wonder where you hit the animal.
<Rapala> *Iscariot* Will Trespasser have OGL support?
<DreamWork> No. OGL support would be redundant, given that cards supported through OGL are a subset of cards supported through Direct3D.
<Rapala> *G* How much benefit will Trespasser recieve from the 3D Now! instruction set? Will it be like the Voodoo 2 Quake 2 3D Now! Mini GL driver, or as good as Unreal, or will it be even greater?
<DreamWork> Given the amount of floating point we do versus typical 3D games, we expect great performance gains. We have some routhines that have been hand coded by the designer of the chip.
<Rapala> *Hanif* what is spielberg doin for the game
<DreamWork> Waiting to play it just like you. Actually, he was so psyched he asked to design some puzzles... So be on the lookout...
<Rapala> *BloodFire* question:If you visit a lavatory in Trespasser, will a T-Rex rip off the top and kill you?
<Bakshra> heh...
<DreamWork> That certianly *could* happen; the engine would certianly do it. I don't know if we have a bathroom in an exposed enough place. The game is *big*
<Cool> are there any Jurassic Park 4x4's? Like the ones seen in the first movie...if not, are there any operational vehicles?
<DreamWork> There is plenty of stuff that the guys from the LW movie left on the island. But after a few years, some of the trucks are pretty screwed up. But there's no harm in getting in them, right...
<Rapala> *Linguica* Why in the world are the raptors' mouths always really wide open in the screenshots? Do they have some sort of reverse lockjaw or is it just a very strange coincidence?
<Bakshra> hah
<DreamWork> We'd thought you'd want to see the attacks in the screenshots. Perhaps they want a bite of sausage, linguica.
<Cool> cause it looks cool..
<Rapala> <Bakshra> Will Trespasser take advantage of MMX technology?
<DreamWork> The 3DNow! instruction set is built on top of MMX, that will benefit. We do make some use of Intel's MMX instruction set as well.<Bakshra> good
<Rapala> <Xynder> what are the specs for a system that will run Trespasser without any hiccups?
<DreamWork> We've tried really hard to make the renderer and other systems very scalable, so that you can get nice framerate on a wide variety of machines. Our minimum is a 166/32, and we already get a good framerate. We take this pretty seriously, framerate is cool. Heheheh
<Cool> Have you guys tested the game on the Riva TNT? if so, how was the performance?
<DreamWork> Yes. Tomorrow we are meeting with the NVidia people, in fact: they are stoked!
<Rapala> *_TheDude_* how many raptors in a tribe?
<DreamWork> Depends which, actually. The jungle and forest ones are the most populous - 40 or 50. Other tribes inhabit the ruins and the mountainous areas -- smaller niches.
<Rapala> *Angus* How far in development is Trespasser? Have all the "areas" been completed?
<DreamWork> 98% and a fourth
<Rapala> *Mattimus* Do dinosaurs start in preset locations ? Do they appear at preset times?
<DreamWork> It varies -- we've laid a few traps for you, but there are also roaming dinos, random factors. It will be different each time. It's their island -- we mostly let them go about their business there.
<Rapala> *Sub-Ubi* when you say I can look down and see the gun on my hip, does that mean I can see my feet and everything?
<DreamWork> When you say everything... Seriously, when we first started, we planned on locomoting the player in the same way that we do the dinos. But while it's cool to watch them run around and place their feet and such, it was just a pain in the butt for the player -- you'd look down and want to place your foot somewhere and, well, how do you design an interface for that? So we cut that in favor of playability, a decision we've had to face a lot. You will not
<Rapala> *Evilyam* Can you, for example, fill a bucket with water?
<DreamWork> You'd be able to see your feet, if other things were'nt in the way...
<Rapala> *Evilyam* Can you, for example, fill a bucket with water?
<DreamWork> No, no pouring water. Good god, we need to ship this someday. Actually, like we said before, we wanted a world in which *every single object* behaved correctly *all the time*. So while you won't be slowly chipping walls away with a chisel, or chopping down forests, or slowly draining lakes... Good god, you people need to get a life if that sounds fun.
<Bakshra> hahah
<Rapala> <Xynder> are there any moments that make the player jump out of his seat?
* Dritzen wonders where he can purchase this 'life'
<Bakshra> Dritzen: you gotta be "cool" to get one, darn it :\
<DreamWork> Just kidding. We tried to do every single cool little detial we could, it's just taht we can't do it *all, today, before Christmas ;^)
<DreamWork> I certainly hope so. I always get this creepy feeling when I can hear the dinosaurs moving around near me, but can't see them.
<Rapala> *Langsuyar* Q: how do you guys keep yourself from letting the realism and physics get in the way of gameplay and fun? play "robinson's requiem" at least once a week?
<DreamWork> This is a good question, which comes up a lot. We have a lot of realistically designed structures and areas, which we use as jumping-off points for design. But when we model stuff on reality, we always try to look first and ask 'Is there a fun gameplay dynamic behind this, or is it just a pain?'
<Rapala> <MajorNut> How cool is the death scene if there is one? Does it show Anne being torn apart and stuff? =Þ
<DreamWork> Hey, MajorNut. It's cool to watch the dinosaurs gnawing on Anne once she's dead. It doesn't end with your death, man. It's not pretty. <DreamWork> We have to get back to shipping the game, so let's take a final question...
<Rapala> ok..
<Rapala> give me a sec to find a good one
<Sub_Ubi> Thank you DreamWorks! you guys rock
<stickyii> ditto on that
<Cool> i cacca'd myself
<Bakshra> Yeah, Trespasser is going to kick ass * Dritzen is still looking for a life.. got a spare?
<Rapala> <Stusser> I hear you've concentrated heavily on immersion in the game; will the audio support Aureal3D, Directsound3D, or Dolby Digital? Cool gives dritz some of his life<Bakshra> Dritzen: just get back to chiping away at the buildings with the rest of us ;P
<DreamWork> We support AuReal, SBlive and DirectSound3D. Maybe more. EAX, anyone? Seriously, the sound, sound effects, music, and environmental sounds are going to BLOW YOU AWAY. We were basically stunned when it started working, and we looked at one another like, goodness, this is a lot cooler than we thought it would be. Also, SounDelux, the Movie sound company that we are woring with, has really taken it to the next level.
<Rapala> Ok DreamWorks
'<Rapala> We thank you for being here..
.<Dritzen> Thanks for coming by guys
<Bakshra> Yeah, this was great
<DreamWork> Ok, thanks for listening everyone, time for us to go back to chipping OUR walls down...
<Cool> im gonna go change my diaper
<Stusser> Yeah, I can't wait for the game!
<Rapala> you guys kick ass and we are all looking forward to trespasser

Trespasser: Isla Sorna
Written on March 20, 2021 at 9:00 pm, by tatu



I think it is time for me to make a news post about this mod. Late last year, I released the first version of the Isla Sorna mod created by me and TheIdiot. The first part of the mod combines the levels Beach, Jungle Road and the first part of Plantation House into one big level, while combining the versions of levels we have. You might have already heard about it, or played it. If you have not, check it out for a fresh Trespasser experience!

Server Maintenance – Update
Written on January 13, 2021 at 8:11 am, by paul



UPDATE: Everything should be up and running. Please report any issues you might have. – tatu




Woah, that did not go as planned…


So here’s what happened: during the migration, a mostly automated process, we noticed that the nodes had become unstable. They may have been out-of-synch before, but when the migration started, one of the nodes started to override itself and in turn remove large parts of the files it contained.

The process was stopped immediately, but in doing so we lost access to the data on the node. The node contained files from some of the hosted websites, including trescom, and more importantly our entire webserver configuration. Without it, all websites went down immediately. The databases, which contains the content to all websites were migrated without any issues, so in a worst-case scenario we would have had all the texts, but only parts of the files (images etc). There was a second backup strategy in place, on top of the replication of the data across the nodes, but that one failed us too, as it stopped synching data from the newer nodes. Regardless, we would have been able to recover data from there, but it would have taken a lot of time.


As of writing, we managed to recover the broken node and regain access to all data. We are now fixing remaining issues on the websites – Trescomforum for example is lacking the proper PHP version. So everything should be back to normal soon.

Happy Holidays!
Written on December 25, 2020 at 12:20 pm, by tatu



Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays everyone! This year we thought we would give you a more proper post for this holiday.


2020 is coming to an end and this year the Trespasser community has seen an increase in activity. Our Forum has seen an increase in activity and several mods have been released during the year. Our Discord has also seen an increase in activity, with many new members.


So as 2020 is coming to an end, we wish you all happy holidays and we hope we will see you in 2021!


I also wanna remind you that there has been several released Christmas/Winter themed levels in the past. Check out the download section and you might find a level you’d enjoy!


Winter’s Journey




Winter’s Journey is “A Christmas-themed Trespasser level” from TrespasserGuy released just in time for Christmas. He doesn’t wanna give away what the level is about, so go check it out right now! (After you’ve finished reading this news post!)


You can find this level here: Winter’s Journey Download





New TPA ID Discoveries

Early this December, LtSten and machf worked together and manage to crack several previous unknown IDs in the TPAs we have. In less than one week, 57 unknown IDs became 16. We hope they manage to crack more of the unknown ones, and maybe one day we will know them all. You can follow their own at our forum: Sound names from the .tpa files


If you are interested in what IDs are used for specific TPA sample, machf have updated the listing and you can download them here:


Sound Name Listing For Build 22-E3 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 32-PCGamer TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 55 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 96 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 97 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 99 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 103 TPA Files

Lost Jungle Remastered




Sadly I forgot this in a news post earlier this summer. However, here it is! TrespasserGuy took the enormous project to remaster Draconisaurus and Mickey’s Lost Jungle level and have made an amazing remaster. It is worth checking and and you will be impressed! You can find the level here: Lost Jungle Remastered Download


morningstarring Levels




Forum user morningstarring joined our community earlier this summer and has then made some impressive levels and started doing more advanced t-scripting. Check out some of their levels here and here.


Skatepark Map




Now this is not something we’ve seen in Trespasser before. Community member Teromen made a Skatepark map in Trespasser. While you can’t ride a skateboard, you can use the ramps to get an advantage over the raptors.


“Feel free to try it out. Its a skatepark in Trespasser. There’s a few dinos and guns for fun. I made this for fun and to get better at mapping. I got better at collision especially. It was a a bit tricky. I hope you have fun. Enjoy.”


It is worth checking out and you can find it here: Skatepark Download


Draco~Test

Draconisaurus


Just in time for Christmas, Draco has released his Draco~Test level. He experimented with various things in this level, including a working “PC”. You should definitely check it out to see various things you have not seen in Trespasser before!


“Alright everyone, Happy Holidays from Draconisaurus! My gift to TresCom this year is the latest and final version of “Drac~Test”, where a number of investigations were made about the disposition of the Trespasser technology. There are 5 zones to explore, in various amounts of development. Hopefully some useful things may be found. I’m releasing this now since it is still technically the eve of the holiday and that is when the occasion is celebrated in Europe. Have a great holiday and hopefully many can spend time with friends & family even if only on video.”


You can find this level here: Draco~Test Download


Trespasser 2020: A Trespasser Modding Starter Kit

MikeTheRaptor made a comeback earlier this year with a release to make it easier for people to play mods. Setting up mods an be quite tricky, and many people have had issues setting up CE to work with an external mod folder. MikeTheRaptor wanted to help out and made this package for you, and included some levels to get you started playing.


“In an effort to make playing Trespasser fan levels and mods more accessible, I’ve created a simple starter kit that includes everything necessary to begin playing Trespasser fan levels immediately with no setup or configuration required.”


You can find this and what it includes in our download section or download it here: Trespasser 2020: A Trespasser Modding Starter Kit Download





New Download Section

We have finally updated our download section. We are now using a new plugin as the old one is no longer in development and started to have issues on latest WordPress.


The new download section will look a bit different, but we will work on improving it over time. It contain all the downloads the old one had, it even got a simple search now on each category page! All downloads will now have their own page, allowing you to make comments to a specific download. Use it to post issues you have with the download, feedback or even reviews for a fan level. You will also be allowed to download a file directly from the list, without the need to open each download in a new tab, just like before.


Go check it out, and hopefully we’ve manage to move all download so all the links work correctly, otherwise let us know in the comments, and we will continue to improve the download section.

New Levels

It is rare these days that we get new members in the community that also have a huge interest to make new levels. One of our latest member, morningstarring has released no other than 2 new levels in the past 2 months. These fan levels are modifications of retail levels which is a rare thing now in the community. Be sure to check them out!

Trespasser In Source Engine

killer89, also known as Mattila22 on our Discord has been working hard on recreating a few areas of Trespasser inside the Source engine. Their latest project have been to recreate Industrial Jungle, which is a huge undertaking.

Fan Art

We don’t get many new fan arts on our forum anymore, but that doesn’t mean no-one is making any. Draconisaurus have discovered several fan arts the past month on the internet.

First 2020 News Post!
Written on April 20, 2020 at 5:36 pm, by tatu



It’s been a year since the last news post, but fear not, there have been plenty of stuff happening in the community. Here is several of them:


TresCom Anthology




Rebel has been busy in the recent year to work on the latest installment in the TresCom level series. Latest to join is the prequel level, which tells the story on how Anne ended up where she is in the first TC level. The prequel level is still a work in progress but Rebel has made a nice package that contains the whole story so far. The package comes will all the levels and are bundled with ATX and is standalone, ready to be played!


TresCom Anthology Download (168.7 MB)


NOTE! The TresCom.tpa file was missing a sound while wearing the gas mask. If anyone wants to replace the file inside of the anthology’s package (inside data folder), it’s in the 7zip below.


TresCom.tpa Fix Download (57.9 MB)


TrespasserGuy’s Unfinished Levels




TrespasserGuy decided to share two of their unfinished levels in hopes that it will have some inspiration for people to do some modding. TrespasserGuy describe them as: “Both of these levels take inspiration from some JP1 concept art and try to create a tropical resort-type locale that is very heavily implied to take place on Isla Nublar.”


You can find these here: TrespasserGuy’s Unfinished Level Pack Download (14.9 MB)


4ushT




The first of many new levels by Draconisaurus included in this news post. Inspired by the comic book series “The Woods, it contains a forest from an alien world with secrets to be uncovered and fearful environs to survive. It can be downloaded here: 4ushT Download (15.0 MB)


Pine Escape




The next level from Draconisaurus is inspired by Jurassic Park Arcade and plays out in similar fashion, but with a Trespasser touch. Pine Escape Download (8.4 MB)


Mountain Valley




Another level from Draconisaurus that he made over the past winter. The level is very typical Trespasser and therefore stands out from his typical levels. It has a great environment and puzzles. Mountain Valley Download (29.4 MB)


Desert Mountain




This next level was inspired by one of the Windows Login Backgrounds. Once again this is created by Draconisaurus. Desert Mountain Download (5.7 MB)


MayanCity46




Draconisaurus dreamed this level up randomly one day. “The basic premise is that InGen is for whatever reason doing an archaeological investigation on an unknown ruin location.” MayanCity46 Download (8.6 MB)


Winter Outpost




Now this level is probably a bit late to be added to the news post. This is Draconisaurus Christmas 2019 level for the community. The level continues where “Industrial Forest 3” left off. “This time you must complete the journey to the outpost and make it through the gate!” Winter Outpost Download (23.8 MB)


NNHD Trespasser Textures







And now for something completely different. Isolt spent some time upscaling most of Trespasser’s textures. They also went ahead to upscale the texture used in Pine Valley (build 96). Please be aware these are quite big downloads. These HD textures requires the CE patch to work. See the including Readme for installation instructions and other information.


“Standard version is 4x resolution (16x pixel count) in 24bit colour.


Light version (for more demanding levels or less capable hardware) at 2x resolution (8x pixel count) with some less important textures removed, and some particularly large in game textures at 4x”


NNHD Trespasser Textures – Standard Version Download (700.6 MB)


NNHD Trespasser Textures – Light Version Download (178.1 MB)


NNHD Trespasser Textures – Pine Valley Download (62.8 MB)





TPA Player Update

Rebel has released a new version of TPA Player, version 4.0.9.8. It contains a small workaround to export audio with / in its name. You can find the latest version here: TPA Player v4.0.9.8 Download (524.4 KB)


Discord

Last year our long time TresCom staff MikeTheRaptor decided to start a Discord channel for Trespasser. The Discord is linked in the right-side panel below the forum, but you can also join it by clicking HERE.

Tools And Compatibility Patches
Written on April 1, 2019 at 6:45 pm, by tatu



Compatibility Patches

machf have been busy again working on getting the levels from the early Trespasser builds to work with the retail engine. He has now fixed the .scn and .grf file from the early levels to properly work with the retail engine (except for some issues with Build 22’s IJ and TestScene level (for now)). You will still require to convert the .pid/.swp using the Pid reWrite tool(see below) along with the TPAupdate tool (see below) in order to fully experience the levels.

These patches can be found in our Patches download section. Please see the description of the downloads for information to get them working properly.


fixOcclusion

From the description:

“fixOcclusion is a simple drag-and-drop utility based on some of the functionality from the earlier pidRewrite tool. Its purpose is to fix the occlusion settings in early v130 pid’s (basically, the ones from Build 55) so that they are fuly compatible with later ones and can be properly viewed in TresEd. Just place the executable in the same folder as the Build 55 *.PID files, then drag an drop on top of it each .PID file you want to convert. The original ones will be saved with a “.bak” extension, just in case.”

This tool will fix the issue where TresEd won’t recognize occlusion objects as occlusions due to difference in the early v130 pid’s found in Build 55. You can found the tools in our Tools download section on the left or download it here: fixOcclusion Download

A new documentary on Jurassic Park: Trespasser is out. Just… just watch it (it is really good):

Trespasser: Isla Sorna
Written on March 20, 2021 at 9:00 pm, by tatu



I think it is time for me to make a news post about this mod. Late last year, I released the first version of the Isla Sorna mod created by me and TheIdiot. The first part of the mod combines the levels Beach, Jungle Road and the first part of Plantation House into one big level, while combining the versions of levels we have. You might have already heard about it, or played it. If you have not, check it out for a fresh Trespasser experience!

Server Maintenance – Update
Written on January 13, 2021 at 8:11 am, by paul



UPDATE: Everything should be up and running. Please report any issues you might have. – tatu




Woah, that did not go as planned…


So here’s what happened: during the migration, a mostly automated process, we noticed that the nodes had become unstable. They may have been out-of-synch before, but when the migration started, one of the nodes started to override itself and in turn remove large parts of the files it contained.

The process was stopped immediately, but in doing so we lost access to the data on the node. The node contained files from some of the hosted websites, including trescom, and more importantly our entire webserver configuration. Without it, all websites went down immediately. The databases, which contains the content to all websites were migrated without any issues, so in a worst-case scenario we would have had all the texts, but only parts of the files (images etc). There was a second backup strategy in place, on top of the replication of the data across the nodes, but that one failed us too, as it stopped synching data from the newer nodes. Regardless, we would have been able to recover data from there, but it would have taken a lot of time.


As of writing, we managed to recover the broken node and regain access to all data. We are now fixing remaining issues on the websites – Trescomforum for example is lacking the proper PHP version. So everything should be back to normal soon.

Happy Holidays!
Written on December 25, 2020 at 12:20 pm, by tatu



Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays everyone! This year we thought we would give you a more proper post for this holiday.


2020 is coming to an end and this year the Trespasser community has seen an increase in activity. Our Forum has seen an increase in activity and several mods have been released during the year. Our Discord has also seen an increase in activity, with many new members.


So as 2020 is coming to an end, we wish you all happy holidays and we hope we will see you in 2021!


I also wanna remind you that there has been several released Christmas/Winter themed levels in the past. Check out the download section and you might find a level you’d enjoy!


Winter’s Journey




Winter’s Journey is “A Christmas-themed Trespasser level” from TrespasserGuy released just in time for Christmas. He doesn’t wanna give away what the level is about, so go check it out right now! (After you’ve finished reading this news post!)


You can find this level here: Winter’s Journey Download





New TPA ID Discoveries

Early this December, LtSten and machf worked together and manage to crack several previous unknown IDs in the TPAs we have. In less than one week, 57 unknown IDs became 16. We hope they manage to crack more of the unknown ones, and maybe one day we will know them all. You can follow their own at our forum: Sound names from the .tpa files


If you are interested in what IDs are used for specific TPA sample, machf have updated the listing and you can download them here:


Sound Name Listing For Build 22-E3 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 32-PCGamer TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 55 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 96 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 97 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 99 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Build 103 TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Retail TPA Files


Sound Name Listing For Demo TPA Files





Lost Jungle Remastered




Sadly I forgot this in a news post earlier this summer. However, here it is! TrespasserGuy took the enormous project to remaster Draconisaurus and Mickey’s Lost Jungle level and have made an amazing remaster. It is worth checking and and you will be impressed! You can find the level here: Lost Jungle Remastered Download


morningstarring Levels




Forum user morningstarring joined our community earlier this summer and has then made some impressive levels and started doing more advanced t-scripting. Check out some of their levels here and here.


Skatepark Map




Now this is not something we’ve seen in Trespasser before. Community member Teromen made a Skatepark map in Trespasser. While you can’t ride a skateboard, you can use the ramps to get an advantage over the raptors.


“Feel free to try it out. Its a skatepark in Trespasser. There’s a few dinos and guns for fun. I made this for fun and to get better at mapping. I got better at collision especially. It was a a bit tricky. I hope you have fun. Enjoy.”


It is worth checking out and you can find it here: Skatepark Download


Draco~Test

Draconisaurus


Just in time for Christmas, Draco has released his Draco~Test level. He experimented with various things in this level, including a working “PC”. You should definitely check it out to see various things you have not seen in Trespasser before!


“Alright everyone, Happy Holidays from Draconisaurus! My gift to TresCom this year is the latest and final version of “Drac~Test”, where a number of investigations were made about the disposition of the Trespasser technology. There are 5 zones to explore, in various amounts of development. Hopefully some useful things may be found. I’m releasing this now since it is still technically the eve of the holiday and that is when the occasion is celebrated in Europe. Have a great holiday and hopefully many can spend time with friends & family even if only on video.”


You can find this level here: Draco~Test Download


Trespasser 2020: A Trespasser Modding Starter Kit

MikeTheRaptor made a comeback earlier this year with a release to make it easier for people to play mods. Setting up mods an be quite tricky, and many people have had issues setting up CE to work with an external mod folder. MikeTheRaptor wanted to help out and made this package for you, and included some levels to get you started playing.


“In an effort to make playing Trespasser fan levels and mods more accessible, I’ve created a simple starter kit that includes everything necessary to begin playing Trespasser fan levels immediately with no setup or configuration required.”


You can find this and what it includes in our download section or download it here: Trespasser 2020: A Trespasser Modding Starter Kit Download





New Download Section

We have finally updated our download section. We are now using a new plugin as the old one is no longer in development and started to have issues on latest WordPress.


The new download section will look a bit different, but we will work on improving it over time. It contain all the downloads the old one had, it even got a simple search now on each category page! All downloads will now have their own page, allowing you to make comments to a specific download. Use it to post issues you have with the download, feedback or even reviews for a fan level. You will also be allowed to download a file directly from the list, without the need to open each download in a new tab, just like before.


Go check it out, and hopefully we’ve manage to move all download so all the links work correctly, otherwise let us know in the comments, and we will continue to improve the download section.

Source Code: First contact

The source code has never been officially released but it is everywhere on the internet. I will obviously not provide a link to the source or even show code snippets but I think to provide a roadmap for historical value is acceptable and will probably help fellow code readers.

The solution is for Visual Studio 6.0 (development started on VS 4.1 but C++ support was not satisfactory: The team updated the dev tools as soon as a new version became available). It can be automatically converted to a modern version of Visual Studio (2008/2010/2012). Attempting to compile shows that the source code has heavily suffered from erosion: C++ has evolved a lot since 1998 and certain things are not permited anymore (like things that now require the typename keyword).


Before starting to open files and read, I ran a few metrics since cloc can give an idea of the volume of code to read:



fabiensanglard$ cloc jp2_pc
1596 text files.
1555 unique files.
418 files ignored.

cloc.sourceforge.net v 1.60 T=14.08 s (88.1 files/s, 40859.1 lines/s)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Language files blank comment code
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C++ 469 64881 86607 195287

C 2 253 177 884
DOS Batch 7 5 0 174
Teamcenter def 1 0 0 8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUM: 1241 97309 176018 301959
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Standing alone, those numbers don't mean much. But comparing them to others games (Quake,Doom,Duke3D,...) helps a lot:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The volume of code is twice more than other titles released at the same time. The volume is very representative of the complexity of the engine and the collosal scope of features. What really stands out is the volume of comment: Trespasser code base is exceptionnaly well commented and that is usually an indication of high skills.

The solution contains 23 projects which clearly show the different subsystems but I suspect was done to make compile time bearable. Even on a modern machine a full built take close to 10mn. I would not be surprised if 1998 and its lack of precompiled header took an hour for a full build.

An interview of Seamus Blackley (Lead developer on Trespasser) shows that compile time was a problem back in the days:



Qtrescom.org : What fraction of the development time was spent waiting on the C++ compiler?

Seamus Blackley : It felt like 103%



Details of each projects :

Projects Generates Notes:
AI Artificial Intelligence subsystem A lot of code unused since most traits had to be disabled.
AI Test JP2_PC.exe A standalone program allowing to test AI with graphics.
Audio Audio.lib The audio sub-system static library featuring the "real time Foley".
Bug Bugs.exe A project concentrating all compiler errors. Since the team switched from VS4 to VS4.1 to VS4.2 to VS6.0 it was usefull
CollisionEditor CollisionEditor.exe Sound effects editor to test the audio engine (very powerful at the time)
EntityDBase EntityDBase.lib Classes representing all objects in the game.
File File.lib Abstraction classes for File and Images, used to build the Groff archives.

Source Code: First contact

The source code has never been officially released but it is everywhere on the internet. I will obviously not provide a link to the source or even show code snippets but I think to provide a roadmap for historical value is acceptable and will probably help fellow code readers.

The solution is for Visual Studio 6.0 (development started on VS 4.1 but C++ support was not satisfactory: The team updated the dev tools as soon as a new version became available). It can be automatically converted to a modern version of Visual Studio (2008/2010/2012). Attempting to compile shows that the source code has heavily suffered from erosion: C++ has evolved a lot since 1998 and certain things are not permited anymore (like things that now require the typename keyword).


Before starting to open files and read, I ran a few metrics since cloc can give an idea of the volume of code to read:



fabiensanglard$ cloc jp2_pc
1596 text files.
1555 unique files.
418 files ignored.

Standing alone, those numbers don't mean much. But comparing them to others games (Quake,Doom,Duke3D,...) helps a lot:

The volume of code is twice more than other titles released at the same time. The volume is very representative of the complexity of the engine and the collosal scope of features. What really stands out is the volume of comment: Trespasser code base is exceptionnaly well commented and that is usually an indication of high skills.

The solution contains 23 projects which clearly show the different subsystems but I suspect was done to make compile time bearable. Even on a modern machine a full built take close to 10mn. I would not be surprised if 1998 and its lack of precompiled header took an hour for a full build.

An interview of Seamus Blackley (Lead developer on Trespasser) shows that compile time was a problem back in the days:



Qtrescom.org : What fraction of the development time was spent waiting on the C++ compiler?

Seamus Blackley : It felt like 103%

A helicopter that had been tracked in the past week, rendezvoused at a location deep within the Siberian tundra. It was detected to have crashed less than a mile away from an abandoned communications base, though lately there has been activity with trucks taking into boxes. A vial of a mysterious virus called DX was stolen from a facility a week ago, it is believed this vial was on-board the helicopter to move it West out of Siberia. Your mission is to locate the downed the helicopter and retrieve the vial.

Hey guys, I've made a edit of this level. All I've done is added more dinosaurs such as from the JPDS and others, more ammo add, easy to get around and other tons of stuff edited.

You don't need the normal craters level and same goes with the HUD's

A big thank you to "Awesome" for helping me some tips on TresED. Credits goes to those owners that made the models of the dinosaurs and other stuff.

Dear Anne: Dear Anne started out as an idea I had while looking at the Half-Life 2 mod, Dear Esther. It was to take place on a tropical island on which you were completely alone, except for the occasional wildlife. The long-developed storyline may or may not be used in the future, as this project is not completely cancelled.

Mountain Lab: Nothing more than a simple little level, Mountain Lab was to feature a series of complex puzzles which would draw you deeper into the titular Lab building, which was set to be a vast, under- and above-ground playing area. Sadly, level corruption occured, and I was forced to re-start. Discouarged by the loss, however, I quit.

Yet another unfinished level made by Second Illiteration. This one was intended to be an "Easter Egg hunt" type of level, where you had to hunt for... dinosaur eggs, of course! You had to pick up a number of eggs from different species, all the while avoiding the angry parents, and take them to a certain place in order to finish the level. Don't remember the exact storyline, but I think you wwere working for BioSyn or someone else who had paid you to steal the eggs.

After S.I. left it unfinshed, the level was used as a starting point for machf's "Dagobah" level.

ooookay, this took a couple weeks of on-and-off attention but it's finally finished... PL release A: all Max-scene objects + base terrain, all known textures, substitute textures, and of course the sky and player. A philosophy of minimum modification has been applied to this release. Basically the idea is to have a playable version of the Max scene by creating a terrain file with elevations and details based on object locations. Knock yourself out!

This level is the first ever level set on Isla Nublar. It starts out in a location directly from the movie where the player takes the role of Dennis Nedry who must make it to the East Dock with the Barbasol can full of dinosaur embryos. Filled with several new models with a Jurassic Park 1 theme, this level is certainly one that a Jurassic Park fan will enjoy!

Note: The download has been split into two parts for those who can't download the single 123MB file in a single session. The first one is ~58 MB, and the second is ~65 MB. Both together contain the same folder/file structure from the original, you just need to extract them together into the same folder and then follow the original instructions.

A test level for the Escape from Jurassic Park mod.

So what is this? Well back in 2009 and 2010. Draconisaurus and I were talking about Jurassic Park Rampage Edition in the Games board. I started showing him music rips of the 16-bit games I did, the topic went severely off subject and Drac got an idea from there.

The idea, was to create a mod based upon a mix of the 16-bit JP games from the 90's. Among them: Jurassic Park for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Jurassic Park Rampage Edition for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Jurassic Park for Super Nintendo, and Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues for Super Nintendo. I also recently thought of the Sega CD JP game as well.

However, the project has been canned by Drac due to lack of time. It's likely it may die if somebody doesn't revive it. I want to be that person, but my modding experience is very poor. As a result, I need some help from anyone willing to. I need modellers, graphical artists, voice actors, and anyone willing to help. I also need someone willing to help me with adding music to TPAs as this is the core of the project in addition to low quality cartoony graphics to fit the 16-bit game feel Drac had planned.

For the basic Synopsis Drac had planned and some other text documents related to the project, download the EFJP_Text.rar file.

That's right. Rather than continuing finishing up my playground level, I decided to try doing another map using the Contestlev as a base once again. The name of the level will be Giant Forest. Of course, I don't have the forest quite complete yet. However, I did port over the Mines/Tunnels/Caves from TC Isle and made the import scale 2 rather than 1 so that it would cover greater ground and allow dinosaurs to attack inside of it.

This was something I didn't even announce publicly. The admins knew somewhat about it. It's an unfinished remake of the Town designed to look more like the movie. The Ops Center is the most complete aspect, even though there's some texturing issues and I didn't finish making the physics objects yet. I'm certain some of you creative guys will use it for something.

make sure to download the level's ASA files too!

This level is just my fully functioning breaker box and the Jurassic Park Explorers (You heard that right, THE EXPLORERS). As I said before, the bull bars and tail light guards need to be redone with lower poly count, but Explorers 04 and 05 are represented complete with magnets. 06 and 07 need to have magnets made, however.

Have fun with this!

Well, here's another update on Hunter's Camp, though I think about changing the name to "The Lost World", what do you guys think? Anyway, the level has been extensively modded. A whole slew of objects and puzzles have been added. All the hunters' keys have been placed for you to find. All the hunters' boxes open. There's nothing inside them yet, though. There's a whole new sinister set of hints pertaining to Biosyn and their activity on Site B. I hope this release will excite you a lot! ALso, a new boss has been added...

Hello, everyone it's DeadEye. You all probably remember me as the aspiring newbie who couldn't mod for his life and whom then vanished from the forums (And was probably missed by no one, I won't hold it against any of you ?? ). Well, I'm back with some experience to bring to the table this time. In my two year absence, I've done work with Amnesia: The Dark Descent's HPL Editor (Which was surprisingly user-friendly and easy to pick up on), and then a thought struck me: "Why not go back to TresCom and try again?" After all, I had some experience in actual map-making now, and the reason I put down Trespasser modding was because of my inexperience. Long story short, I'm back to give TresEd another shot, and I'll post any new updates on Jungle Jam here.

Ah yeah, here it is...

There's a texture on the second floor model that has 4 placeholder textures combined into one (CRWall2). Never did finish those. I was planning on redoing a bunch of the textures for the Control Room, but didn't get that far. I didn't do any work on reducing palettes used by these textures though, so each one has it's own palette unless you go and make a new palette for them. I didn't know anything about palettes when I made my first couple JP levels

And there's a level in there that you wanted called JPOTestLevel, WH... That level has all the interior goodies I made for the control room JPO, but I believe they still have my old Connection Machines where the LED texture is on wrong so that it goes up and down instead of side to side... And there's a "More Complete" Visitor Center, which by that I mean it has more of the furniture I had made that didn't get ported over to the later level yet.

Your name is Anne Jones, and you have taken your private helicopter to Juan Fernandez to go to your friend's wealthy family club. On the way, you approach an island shrouded in fog. Costa Rican Air Officials on the radio begin warning you not to approach the island. However, you do not heed their warning.
Suddenly, a huge bird-like creature begins attacking your small helicopter. Anne hits her head on the dashboard of the helicopter. The helicopter nose-dives due to the animal's weight on it.
The helicopter narrowly misses a huge outcrop of rock as Anne approaches the interior of the island. Disoriented, Anne flies her helicopter straight into a tree, distracting the attacking "bird". However, the helicopter is out of control and hits the ground apruptly.
Now Anne has crash-landed on Isla Sorna, John Hammond's lost world. She is seriously wounded and low on health. You know what happened here and you know what inhabits this island. You now calculate your chances of surviving. They are extremely low.

Here's a nifty level I just spent the whole day doing

The model was originally intended for JPO but it was broken and needed some fixing... Of course when I fixed it I gave it all new clean textures. I started working on this about 12 hours ago and only stopped a few times for breaks and the like. Fixing models you made years ago is hard... And then doing the physics for said models...

The lights do blink and I tried to match the speed up somewhat with the blinking in the movie as well.

The fence kill boxes seem a bit finicky... Sometimes they'll work, sometimes they won't. I don't know if this is Trespasser Twilight being stupid or what.

You can go inside and on top of the tower... To climb the ladder you'll have to look up and hit the jump key repeatedly... To climb back down you'll have to run at the ladder from the opposite side of the platform and tap W on the way down to keep Anne from falling too fast.

The mesh is designed so that you can use the tower on its own if you want to.

MayanCity0, also known as M1C-998, was going to be one of the levels for "SG Tres", the Stargate Trespasser level series, but by the looks of things, Slug is no longer invested in that at all, and by the time he would have enough time to get anywhere with it, I don't think I'll be working much with Trespasser's engine anymore, so it is being released in this form. It features the original temporary version of the DHD (non-working and non-tangible), as well as the original low-poly, poorly-textured prop I made for Slug to represent the stargate itself.

I've been working on IT level all week and I made it connect to my (incomplete) version of PV.

I was working on IT for an other reason though; I'm planning on making a series of level which would start at the West gate of Burrough and end at the Summit. (AKA you take other way around the mountain. ) Don't get too exited! I'm not sure if I will ever have enough time to complete it.
BTW, that's why I was so curious about the west gate easter egg.

IT by Nick3069:
- most floating objects grounded. (99%)
- fixed physics. (example: the brocken satelite dish.)
- couple of fixed triggers. (example: try playing basketball. )
- re-added Wu's Microwave.
- loads PV at end.
- added toilette bols in the saloon.
- etc...

PV by Nick3069:
- start at the top of the hill, instead of on the helipad
- loads LAB at end
- added bridge wooden bridge (not very far after Alpha T. Rex)
- renamed PV, instead of DEMO
- most floating objects grounded (75%)

Enjoy!

So we all have to start somewhere, right? Well, here's my beginning. In 2008, I first played Trespasser, and by 2009, I knew a fair amount about the game, as well as the universe it resides in, though it seems I knew nothing about the beta version as you will read. Something that bugged me was that we never got to see what lies beyond the mountains to the east of the town, as well as the northern coast up to Mount Watson. I didn't know about The Plains or really even much of the geography. So began the creation of my first mod project ever - Operation Lizard Tooth, the granddaddy of RTJP.

Well, folks, here's a little something interesting: this is the original Return to Jurassic Park level (jpark) from back when I started on the project, just after I finished playing JPDS. This was probably my second or third level, made before my other release, Trespasser Reborn, and I believe the heightmap was my first ever Trespasser modding project. 8) I think I've mentioned this before, but I managed to dig up the files and now I'm uploading them for people to check out.
Some backstory: I'd always wanted to play an open, free-roaming Jurassic Park adventure, and I got just that with JPDS and the Trescom Level Set. But I wanted more - I wanted a game set in the ruins of the park from the original movie, so I downloaded TresEd, got used to it by making some modifications (which I no longer have, unfortunately) of the original Tres levels, and set out on a mission to build what John Hammond once dreamed of. Ultimately, this is the product I made with my limited tools and experience. My modding skills have greatly increased over time, and it shows quite a bit. There are very few new models in RTJP; almost everything - including buildings - was made out of assets I got from other places. I didn't even have any of hppav's Visitor Center models, so I had to make it myself...out of blocks. :sick: It was my pride-of-the-time, made of almost 4000 textured blocks and retextured stock assets. It's quite a wonder what can be done with limited resources! Hell, the helipad is a retextured stop sign. ??
Anyway, this is it. I don't know if it's playable in the current state, but it can be viewed in TresEd, which I recommend since most of the puzzles are unfinished as is the map itself. If you do want to try playing it in-game, you'll have to use ATX for sure, and I can guarantee that it will not be very stable! Note that this does NOT represent the RTJP product being worked on right now in any way, shape, or form. I thought I'd just put this out there to give people something neat to check out. My skills have massively improved over time, so fret not!

On to the download! It includes level files, plus a folder of old screenshots I took of the level and edited in GIMP because I thought they were kind of neat. Again, this is in NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM the final product I've been developing on the forums - this was long before I even made an account here and was just snooping around for tutorials and assets, polling over the records...reading the files...

So a little while back in 2012, I was working on a duplicate of Pine Valley to try and finish the level without having errors from modifying it. I was partially successful in that regard until I got to the geothermal plant. The Geothermal plant keeps mentioning missing triggers even though I ported over all of the triggers associated with them. Apparently, I cannot find the missing trigger and have searched all over the build 96 map. Anyway here's the last stable version I did.

For those asking why I didn't use the version of Anne from build 96, it was mainly because there's several parts of her that were broken. namely floating on water. The final model also just tends to be more stable in general.

Improvements:
-The ported over dinosaurs now have a greater wake up distance.
-Anne's final model vs prototype model.
-Triceratops and Camerasaurus/Brontosaurus skulls have physics (thanks to JPDS team for making them)
-Broken Stegosaurus fixed.

Things missing:
-Geothermal plant and most things beyond it. (including the bus stop and fence to the lab level)
-Raptor nest triggers and spawns (those need to be redone anyway)
-Mayan ruins (I ported those out of the level today though so they're in the archive along with certain things above.
-various plants and trees still need to be added.
-most, if not all the voice over triggers (may have ported them out. Check the assets and see.)

Known problems:
Dinosaurs tend to wander off a lot. Can't remember if I ported over the anchors or not.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone.

Basically, what you are about to download is Pine Valley from the Beta 96 fixed up a little graphically. Future changes may include fixes to other things involving the code and puzzles. I dunno yet. I just mainly did this to kill some time. Changes you'll find:

- Raptor skins are now replaced with the Tribe B final skins. As you know, the Raptors in the level had problems with the colors of their mouthes and their spots were really light orange compared to the other beta levels' Tribe B raptors. Special thanks to Machf for telling me how to fix mipmap issues. =) Thanks Pal.

-the T-Rex, who suffered from similar issues as the raptor has been replaced too. However, rather than a skin from the final, I replaced him with Asjad's Green T-Rex. Why? Well, from a lot of the promotional images, the "Beta Green T-Rex" apparently calls Pine Valley and a few other levels in the betas its home. Asjad's Rex is currently the closes we have that I'm aware of to that Rex. So, I put it in the level.

-Stegosaurus at the end of the level works now, however, I'm not sure how well, so be aware if it seemingly wanders out of the area around you and even tries to go into the ocean close to the end of the level. It has an anchor but I'm not sure if it's in the area or not, and anyway, I have the stay near in ATX disabled so I dunno what's going on. Need to see where the anchor for that Stego is.

Well I haven't worked on it for a while, I guess I could release what I DO have done that way if someone else is tired of waiting they can finish it if they want to.

I added a temporary walkable mesh to the floor of the control building (which is something I don't think I mentioned in the update thread). As stated for the View Building, the model is incomplete and in many cases the elements have not yet been detached. It's a simple procedure to do but also tedious, I just wanted to get some version in the level when I last worked on it. Then PV sort of fell off the side when school started up again. Feel free to fiddle around with it, change textures, "borrow" models from it, whatever

Also I messed up upon importing the porta potty so when you approach it the door will disappear, I believe I forgot a part of it when I exported it out of the last version of PPV that I had.

So I went on my very, very old computer running WinXP the other day looking for something and I stumbled across my old Tres folder on my second hard drive. I found a few extremely old levels I made years ago, the oldest dating back to 2008. One of the levels was labelled "jpark", so I had to open it up. Sure enough, it was the first ever version of RTJP - the complete and utter original, which I started in 2009. It appears I'd updated it sometime after in 2011, but probably mistakenly or something odd. Anyway, I uploaded it for completion purposes...it isn't much, just a few fences, gates and such on the foundation of my old Nublar heightmap. I think I made it as a test to check out the Raptor Pit and Main Gate that hppav made in an East Dock style setting. Eventually this blossomed into the final story of Return to Jurassic Park - at the time, the idea was actually called "Jurassic Park: Primal Instinct".
The story behind Primal was that Diane Forman was one of the BioSyn agents waiting on the ship to retrieve the dinosaur embryos that Nedry had stolen (before The Game came out and told that story!). Inevitably, she realizes he isn't going to make it to the ship, so she goes into the park to find him herself a couple hours after the T. rex attack. She does not find the embryos buried in the mud, and decides to go deeper into the park to try and find an alternative to them. Of course, the fences are down and the power out, so she is eventually trapped on the island when her ship is too critically damaged to leave the island following the storm and has to go around doing various tasks to repair it until she eventually escapes, calling in an airstrike to destroy the island. Just a bit different, huh?
Anyway, here's the file - I think it may actually be playable, but don't take my word on it.

Well the level: Pine Forest, is a single level in a planned series of levels for this massive mod... though it isn't quite as huge as JPDS I do how ever have big plans for it (Looks at Draco expectantly)

Pine Forest still is a MoT (Month of Trespasser) entry level, but It's release will be the starting point for this entire series which was originally going to be called Extended, search back through my posts to see what I mean.

Expect all new Trespasser environments and use of every trick in the Trespasser engine.

Well... it's finally ready to be played after 3 run throughs at 3 am in the morning... *yawn* it's now 9:30 am, and I am exhausted... And PF still isn't done! Ahh well... you'll just have to judge what I did have time to put in there.
Any custom content never seen in levels before was created by me (or edited by me) the terrain textures however are borrowed from a free terrain editing application called LiquidLight.

Here's another public version of my SoKoTres level. (Or maybe I should rename it "SoKoAnne"?) It's an implemantation in the Trespasser engine of the first level of the popular game SoKoBan. Here Anne is inside a labyrinth and she has to pull huge crates into place in order to finish the level. Don't attempt to grab the crates to pull them, as it may backfire and you may end up dead!

Currently, the locations where the crates should go are marked by floor tiles with red borders. On later versions, I may use "ghost" crates instead... I haven't decided yet.

The plan is to eventually implement all of the levels from the original SoKoBan (which were 20). Or maybe the ones from SoKoBan 2 (which were increased to 50).

Normally I hold things back and don't release them until they're put into a level, but I'm feeling unusually nice this evening. ??

This little level contains nothing except Anne and the Spaz in front of her. It demonstrates physical shell-ejection. The trigger fires eight times, eight empty shell cartridges ( so using the Woo cheat won't reinitialize the trigger). Although I haven't tweaked it any, it looks pretty damn good to me.

Goto the 0,0,0 coordinates for the single trigger that controls the action. This is also the location where the empty shell cartridges are stored until they're call upon for when the gun is fired.

Requires ATX to work

Download size 1.7mbs.

I was cleaning files in my Trespasser folder and found this. I don't remember that I did release it but here it is.

This is a level called StegoLand, and some people know what that is referring to. Draco made this as a fun little level after all the random teleportations in Trespasser. This level also contains the cut Bus system planned for JPDS, where you could take a bus to the next busstop.

NOTE: This level needs the terrain (.wtd) file from JPDS~Stream level in order to work. I didn't test this in-game but as I remember, it does work.

Summit Test is a level I've made to represent some theories about how an alternate, very different version of the Summit might have worked in early Trespasser conceptualization. The level is not meant to be at all complete or expertly done, but a fun little experience and a good example of my ideas. The level uses the base settings of TestScene(Night) and a new ground texture based on a Trespasser rock. And no that shack is not final. I have some other ideas for this level but this is all I've got time to do, for now!

Oh and the loading bg is just for kicks.. The level loads too fast to see it. :

This "mod" change both objects and dinosaurs in the Trespasser levels.
So far, the beach is the only level that's finished, but the other retail levels and also fan levels will be added in the future.

What I've done is that I've used the ATX function that randomize both objects and dinosaurs to create a much funnier and more difficult gameplay for people who is tired to play the retail levels.

The original test~zone that I got had no readme file, so this is a short filler from me (Draco). The original package of this level was created before ATX and had a BAT file to import new sounds. I'm not really sure how it worked - it imports them to TresCom.tpa, which the retail engine doesn't recognize. test~zone can be used in the TC_Isle engine without -any- need for importing sounds - all you need to do is move the 5 level files and 1 asb file into their appropriate directories (assuming ASB can take the place of ASA, all I got was the ASB). For all other cases, I have turned TresCom.tpa into an additive TPA used by ATX, complete with its assigning INI file. Simply drag the contents of this archive directly into your installation or demo folder, using the existing directories, and it should work fine.

Aside from school and actually playing Trespasser I've spent hours upon hours pouring over the Trescom forums reading topics that I thought would be interesting. I'm especially interested in Pine Valley. I acually have 3 copies of the demo. One is messed up where I put 20 SPAS 12s with infinite ammo, automatic fire, and no recoil. The other one I made a tiny and a big hunting Rifle, along with an enormous raptor. But the one I like the best is my helipad level. I modified the level so that in order to complete it you have to go up into the hills adjacent to the helipads and fight the T-Rex there.

We know you've waited patiently for this one, watched its progress through the forums: Chronzerg's "The Lagoon." Let me tell you, this is definitely a level that you'll want to replay again and again!
Chronzerg himself has a few words to say:
Thank you all for waiting so long. I now can finally, and safely, release "The Lagoon". You guys have been a major support, and have kept this project alive. This, in its essence, is a community project, for the reason that so many of you contributed to it. Thanks to TresCom Ops (for providing models, such as the dinosaurs and foliage), machf (for rigging the new dinosaurs), and several "modelers unknown". Also, I would love to thank Big Red for his great (perhaps one of the greatest) additions, ATX. So much of what this level has to offer can only happen because of this attachment.

Please see the readme included with the files for a comprehensive thank-you list.

Note: Don't forget to download the menu patch:

Another thing that NO ONE knew about was that I was planning on making a comic set in the town using 3d backgrounds rendered by Trespasser... This meant that I would have to create a new and clean version of the Town. I decided against it when I realized that I would likely not be able to keep up working on such a project, but I did start working on a version of the Town set in 1984

Trespasser: Reloaded is intended both as a final rendering of a great number of the deductions from the community about the Trespasser that might have been and as a chance to rework the game into a fresh and exciting form that the developers would only have dreamed of (or perhaps not).

The TresCom Community Project is to bring this complete set of levels to life, one at a time, by working together and distributing the work among those who have the skill, time, and dedication. The first level in the project is to be IT (aka TO), the "InGen Town". An incredible amount of speculation on what Trespasser would have been centers around the town and the various paths that lead to and from it, so I think it makes the perfect starting point.

In addition to simply making the town as it may originally have been intended, we're going to inject the long-lost TresCom Town project into this one. That's right - everyone interested needs to pick out a little spot for their bungalow, post a screenshot to show their "plot", and then deliver a GRF/SCN file to me so I can import your objects (with proper renaming) into the main version. This is on a first-come first-serve basis, so show us your spot as soon as you have it! If you wish to inhabit a more specific dwelling of the town (a room in the saloon, for example), just speak up and we'll discuss it. You can use either the smaller or larger bungalow model for your home, as long as you can fill it properly. Yes, you're allowed to import new objects like posters and crap, though it might be a good idea to bring it up with me before you do so we make sure all goes well. Copies of anything in the level are at your disposal, and of course you can import objects from other levels but again, you might wanna run them by me first, in PM or here.
Even better, if you want to model your own home, I'll help you make it happen. It doesn't even have to be a house, let's make this fun.

Now before ya'll go diving into TresEd, I highly suggest playing through it a little, first. ?? Works perfectly in Trespasser CE - remember to have a copy of the retail Stream.tpa in data.

Go go go!

As I indicated before, I'm going to be finishing up the Visitor Center and making it a level. I do intend on doing the entire Visitor Center... There's going to be some speculative areas, due to not seeing how some of the rooms connect to others. And what I try to shoot for is about a 90% accuracy to the source material. 100% is near impossible without the plans of the sets and even then the exterior and interior sets as they were cannot fit together.

Hey there can you guys link me to a page that may have info on how to install these levels?

Comment by Rebel on December 6, 2013 at 10:56 am

Most levels should come with installation instructions, RH. Some levels come with their own engine package, while others require a hard drive install of the retail game. Check the faq. On the forums for specifics –

You need to download WinRAR, its a type of compression software/utility much like winzip

Is there still a download for the original demo of Trespasser? I remember the days when I didn’t actually own a copy and all I had to play was the demo but it was the most amazing thing ever, needless to say I’ve been feeling very nostalgic for it

Dimitris, i’m not all that familiar with that level, but if you visit the forums, levels sub-forum, east dock, there are a number of threads there that you may find helpful. Good luck.

Alot of the games are crashing on me during the game. Giving me that there is a fatal error. I am running on Windows Vista 2008 with an HP laptop? What can be the issue?

Best,
Rob

Source Code: First contact

The source code has never been officially released but it is everywhere on the internet. I will obviously not provide a link to the source or even show code snippets but I think to provide a roadmap for historical value is acceptable and will probably help fellow code readers.

The solution is for Visual Studio 6.0 (development started on VS 4.1 but C++ support was not satisfactory: The team updated the dev tools as soon as a new version became available). It can be automatically converted to a modern version of Visual Studio (2008/2010/2012). Attempting to compile shows that the source code has heavily suffered from erosion: C++ has evolved a lot since 1998 and certain things are not permited anymore (like things that now require the typename keyword).


Before starting to open files and read, I ran a few metrics since cloc can give an idea of the volume of code to read:



fabiensanglard$ cloc jp2_pc
1596 text files.
1555 unique files.
418 files ignored.

cloc.sourceforge.net v 1.60 T=14.08 s (88.1 files/s, 40859.1 lines/s)

Standing alone, those numbers don't mean much. But comparing them to others games (Quake,Doom,Duke3D,...) helps a lot:

The volume of code is twice more than other titles released at the same time. The volume is very representative of the complexity of the engine and the collosal scope of features. What really stands out is the volume of comment: Trespasser code base is exceptionnaly well commented and that is usually an indication of high skills.

The solution contains 23 projects which clearly show the different subsystems but I suspect was done to make compile time bearable. Even on a modern machine a full built take close to 10mn. I would not be surprised if 1998 and its lack of precompiled header took an hour for a full build.

An interview of Seamus Blackley (Lead developer on Trespasser) shows that compile time was a problem back in the days:



Qtrescom.org : What fraction of the development time was spent waiting on the C++ compiler?

Seamus Blackley : It felt like 103%



Details of each projects :

Projects Generates Notes:
AI Artificial Intelligence subsystem A lot of code unused since most traits had to be disabled.
AI Test JP2_PC.exe A standalone program allowing to test AI with graphics.
Audio Audio.lib The audio sub-system static library featuring the "real time Foley".
Bug Bugs.exe A project concentrating all compiler errors. Since the team switched from VS4 to VS4.1 to VS4.2 to VS6.0 it was usefull
CollisionEditor CollisionEditor.exe Sound effects editor to test the audio engine (very powerful at the time)
EntityDBase EntityDBase.lib Classes representing all objects in the game.
File File.lib Abstraction classes for File and Images, used to build the Groff archives.
File Test File Test for the file and image abstractions.
Game Game.lib Glue, triggers, Player, Gun classes.
GeomDBase GeomDBase.lib The 3D representation (Geometry) of all objects defined in EntityDBase.
GroffBuild GroffBuild.exe The tool in charge of gathering all game assets (3d,sounds,maps) in one GOFF file.
GroffExp GroffExp.dle The DLL loaded by 3DS Max that export all data to GOFF sections. This was originally outsourced to an other dev and is standalone.
GUIApp GUIApp.exe A wrapper around the game. The GUI allows to change the game values at runtime for testing. Like the console allowing to change the cvar in Quake engines.
Loader Loader.lib The library loading GOFF assets to RAM.
Math Math.lib The math library (features a fInvSqrt that is not as good as QuakeIII's InvSqrt since it uses a lookup table but also uses Newton-Raphson).
Math Test MathTest.exe A few functions to test the speed of the math routines.
Physics Physics.lib The pelvis heavy, penalty force based Physic engine library.
PhysicsTest PhysicsTest.exe A sandbox level where physic can be tested.
PipeLineTest PipeLineTest.exe Testbed for the rendering pipeline

QuantizerTool QuantizerTool.exe Aborted project. Does nothing.
Render3D Render3D.lib The hybrid software/Direct3D renderer.
ScreenRenderDWI ScreenRenderDWI.lib Pentium, PentiumPro and K6_3D specific code ASM optimized code for scanline and cache rendering. Direct3D code.
Std Std.lib Extension of STL. An horrible mess of specific containers of containers of set of hashmap. Arg.
