Scott2zil - a tool for converting SA-games to ZIL

Technical Development Tools
12

There is a new release (release 4) of scott2zil. I have fixed a couple of issues in this. Most notably is that:

  • More parameters are configurable in game-dat.zil.
  • Conversion table that converts ISO-8859-1 to ZASCII_C1. This “should” fix international characters, but I have not tested more than a little bit with some swedish letters.
  • If you compile to z3 you still can use the shortform for directions and inventory.

You find the latest version here.

I also tried running a z3-game in C64 with Ozmoo Online

It loaded much faster than the recently C64 port of ScottFree. Gameplay was a bit slower but still acceptable (Brian Howarth’s 1984 C64-version is still the fastest I tried).
