A new Zelda 64 Beta Restoration Project

The beginning sounds allot like A Link To The Past :P

Actually, there were things from ALttP reused.

I was wondering what happened to TBT when I went away, hope everything turns out right this time around!

Yeah, TBTs restoration and FLs restoration are merely diffrent(though some members have some work of the former TBT).

REAL_HACKER
First of all, we aren’t doing any of this in CMD, wish spinouts tools, and sirtophat, twilight14, AND flotonic are all excellent hackers. most of this is actually being done in hex i believe.
There would be no way for us to complete this, if we only used spinouts tools.

Zeth, why? We’ve appreciated your hacks, so just do the same for ours.

Lol, He’s the only one that hates the project :P

Thieves, eh? I remember ZM90 saying somewhere that all the old material was free for somebody to use on another project. I’m pretty sure we said on the site that we were using the old TBT’s work, so it’s not like we didn’t credit them. And a good number of us were members of that old TBT, so a lot of it is work we made ourselves in the first place, anyway, and I highly doubt anybody is going to care if their work is being used.

@ SuperNormalMan: Hmmm…..i remember something about a beta Link restoration they’re doing for the BRP :) I don’t know though :s

Ok, I think I can say we’re most likely not making an entire game with a story and everything, we just restore bits of beta when we can.

I’m not part of anybody’s team, I’m independent, and I will help anybody whom I think deserves it when I have the opportunity to. I have helped this project in one way or another, but I am not a team member.

I promise that place doesn’t look as bad anymore.

Well, there is little though :P

And as Ive said before: pointless. Its based off facts/rumors, not complete facts. This will depict the minds of the developers thought process of the facts, rather than be what it really is.

Im sorry but am I the only one who realizes this will be nothing like Beta OoT?

It’s just that the mods purpose is to restore the original beta content for players to use and explore. Like the beta items and dungeons, for example. I know it’s kinda awkward to those who think diffrently because the BRP had its own problems in the past. But i always thought that this BRP the’re working on is kinda diffrent from TBT’s BRP :P

I apologize for SirTopHat being a total jerk and trying to take over this whole project by letting the site be linked to other sites like Wareya’s, so don’t let what he does bother you.

Can you at least give us what you have done so far?

NikoPunk, there was none really, it was just some maps and a beta HUD

its not impossible just because two people left doesn’t mean its over i still have hope. and everyone else should.

Did Flotonic quit forever?
also, http://forbidden.legend-zone.com/forbidden

Yup, he told me “It can’t be done, we don’t have an exact source or the right tools”

Reasons:
1. Not enough Team Members with good talent(CDi-Fails and Flo were the only good ones).

2.Because Flo quitted :P

Such a shame….I’ve been watching this project from the shadows for awhile…from my perspective this idea has both potential and merit. After all we all know that there would be plenty of rabid Zelda fans ready to take a crack at playing it. Making an exact beta restoration might be impossible, but the end result of such a project being even semi-successful in replicating things like the 3-D market, Beta Graveyard, ect would be well received. If only my hacking wasn’t so mediocre…..

Guys…you are aware we got most maps done? I can give them away if you want to play them, it’s just not fully done. We have half of Death Mountain, another part of it, Lake Hylia *no water*, the Graveyard with graves *no poes*, the Church *Sanctuary*, Castle Town *fully completed, with doors but they don’t go anywhere*, the bottom half of Hyrule Field *no exits*, the outside of Hyrule Castle *I actually made that myself after the team quit, and it’s only a map, not imported*, and that’s about it. I’ll upload them to my Uploadthis page soon

what format would they be in?

can you impory them into a rom for us

what was the importer called?

ok CDi-Fails but, where’s the file?

thanks in advance

it isnt dead…

I just visited sirtophat’s forbidden legends site (forbidden.legends.com.ar) and i just want to say wow! It seems like they have alot of progress with the mod! So many maps….. O_o mmmmm time for some importing time. If u guys need help just ask for some; im positive alot of zelda hackers still wonder about this project :P hell i could help u, im alright with hex editing and other stuff if u wanted me to name them. And i got a completely awesome mod of my own that would blow alot of ppl away when i release info to the community ;) seriously u guys have done alot of work and it would be a shame to put it to waste…

I talked with sirtophat about it; he said he’ll put it back up. :)

^^ U could start your own mod team… And maybe (if you’re talented) we could see a beta mod of OoT :P

Thanks for the fun read. Good luck to anyone out there working on this…

Guess they closed it down after the cancellation of the project.

@cameron: It’ not coming out, that’s also cancelled.
