Milestone 8

To do: Access the Debug Mode. Figure out the PC keycodes and the PS2 button commands for the Debug stuff. Map differences. Rip models and textures. Look at Taz.exe and look out for internal development stuff

This is a sub-page of Proto:Taz: Wanted.

Milestone 8 is one of the earliest builds of Taz: Wanted to be surfaced.

Babel Engine .pc files#

• The sound.pc file can be ripped with Audacity, by extracting raw data. But there are efforts to rip it though.

General Differences#

• Running the game will create a debug log, which describes about the Babel engine.
• Window is named "Babel", the name of the engine.
• On all three levels, there is a collectible item, in the form of spinning tops. The design document says they're named "Taz Tops".
  • They were replaced with Eye-Spy in Milestone #9, and then they were replaced with the collectible powerups that would be in the final version.

Scene differences#

Frontend#

The internal files give out a timestamp of October 25th, 2000. This was the title screen.

• The Frontend is completely different from the final, and it's in a extremely early state. It would be unchanged in Milestone #9.
• In builds before this one, the game would start out on the first world's hub instead, as the frontend doesn't exist.

Unused Models#

• sylvester.obe - was the boss for Sam Francisco. Wasn't used, but renders are seen in the design document.
