Re: Can PoP1 have more levels?

I'm wondering if you know or remember what, in the u0 EXE, are the two bytes that start at 0x1C62E. I'm asking because I noticed that the standard EXE that ships with apoplexy has FF FF there, while your EXE has 00 00. It's the number of the level before which the potions level appears. ( previous ...

Re: Can PoP1 have more levels?

1. You wrote (emphasis mine) "That's because I didn't bother to set the level type, guard colors [...]". Aren't those specified in the EXE? I also see no "color" or "colour" in morelevels.txt, and for "guard" I only see type and hp in aforementioned file. By ...

Re: Reused Brøderbund code

Also, was this known about already? I did some searching on the forum but didn't see any mention of it. The code may be also shared with some other Brøderbund games from the period, like I spotted the same datafiles being used by Galleons of Glory: The Secret Voyage of Magellan (DOS, 1990), so I su...

Re: Can PoP1 have more levels?

Here is what I made back in 2011. All the levels were automatically converted from SNES PoP. PRINCELV.EXE is the EXE to start. All levels are dungeons, all guards are pitch black and have 0 HP (they die immediately). That's because I didn't bother to set the level type, guard colors, guard type, and...

Re: Manuals of various versions

I found the manual of PoP for the Game Boy Color: https://archive.org/details/prince-of-persia-usa-europe-en-fr-de-es-it-gb-compatible Note: You cannot take the sword from the Training Level into the actual game...sorry. This may explain why does the prince leave his sword on the floor after you def...

The first screenshot has the prince and a guard back-to-back, just like the screenshot of a recent mod. :)
They are even roughly in the same place within the room.

The forum is being slow again. It takes about 14 seconds to load a page.
Avatars and images attached to posts (file.php) take 4 seconds each to load.

Re: Fluffy's Prince of Persia

I found a funny bug in the 2025-03-14 release:
I wanted to climb up to the ledge at the start of level 8... and the prince entered the closed exit door instead. :)

Then it happened again on level 10:

Re: Fluffy's Prince of Persia

First of all, here's my first attempt at trying to re-create Prince of Persia, from way back in 2008: https://fluffyquack.com/prince/builds/2008-06-03.zip [...] I thought I had posted about it on this forum back in 2008, but it must have been in another Prince of Persia community. I have a very sim...

Re: Fluffy's Prince of Persia

That's a good catch. I think it's only one window, though? The window next to the guard in your screenshot was off by one in my level. I don't see another window being wrong. Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear about which other window I meant? Here is the room from your last map: from_map.png And this is ...
