Question about better source code

[ernierasta]

Hi Ben!
I am not sure, you are reading issues here, but I will try anyway.
Also, it is quite naive request, again - trying anyway.

Many people cares about Revenant, it is quite interesting and unique game. Do you think it would be possible to find somewhere latest source code, so we can hack in support for modern systems? Maybe Jong Yoon or someone has it on some forgotten hard drive? ;-)

Wish you all the best!

Hi ernierasta,

Please see the new repo benjcooley/RevenantRevisited. This is a version of the game that brings the code to 2026 and modern systems, and is currently recovering the missing retail code from the pre-release 1999 code snapshot that is in this repo.

RevenantRevisited does not run the game (yet) but it does build, and load the sectors and objects and render. Progress is going pretty fast and it the game should be running again sometime reasonably soon.

I've also started an r/RevenantRevisited subreddit for anyone who wants to chime in as I restore the game and game engine.
