Happy Holidays!

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!)

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

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.”

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.

Happy Birthday Trespasser!

Today, Trespasser turns 22. 22 years ago was the official release date. Happy birthday Trespasser!

First 2020 News Post!

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!

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

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

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

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

http://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.

Jurassic Time.

Happy 20th Anniversary Trespasser!

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.

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!

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.”.

TI’s Trespasser Weapon Sound Overhaul
