Awesome guide. The patches and mods really enhance the experience.

The info.dat file is a binary file, which means you cannot read it the same way as a text file. The content is zeros and ones, and opening it in a text editor will make it look like gibberish. You need a hex editor to edit that type of file, like HxD for example. Once you open the file in the...

Your collection is insane. Everything is there, neatly categorised :) you probably have the most comprehensive B&W library from the entire internet right now... Thank you for putting this together and sharing it! The Modeling& Texture source you're mentioning is for villagers/trees/objects. I'm...

Thanks so much for the link! Readme files everywhere are a must :) The really lucky thing is that the Landscape creation kit packed by BlueVandalX contains the source code for Lndromat as well as the .lnd info extractor. That's super useful to understand how .lnd files are structured, it just...

We really did. I'm frustrated because talented people obviously have done a lot of work on it and I feel like I'm late to the party :) I've read that back in the day a small team of B&W enthusiasts had contacted the game devs at Lionhead studios and obtained fantastic information about the game...

The RAW files that Gimp produces don't work with Lndromat. So I had a look at the binary produced by PhotoShop (my gf has it) and reverse-engineered the format. The RAW format that Lndromat expects is merely a binary file of 512 x 512 bytes where each byte has a value between 0 and FF, that...

Same as Nym... many many years later, I'm still playing and enjoying this beautiful game. I've been looking through the entire internet for modding and scripting resources and I have to say I'm so grateful to the committed people who made all these tools and tutorials. Cheers!

Hey! Great to see that many years later, there are still many people enjoying the game! I've read that the Ultimate Mod has improved enemy AI, but I don't know to what extent.

From what I could gather from other resources, a tool that will work is Photoshop. I'm not a big fan since it's quite expensive and I don't have it on my computer, but I have tested it on a friend's computer and it will allow you to edit the RAW files. I am still looking for free software that...
