Deadlock Game Tools is a collection of tools and resources for one of the greatest games ever made: Deadlock - Planetary Conquest.
The goal of this project is to support the Deadlock community and cult following/fan base in several ways:
Compatibility/bug patching:
Make the game as accessible, functional, and playable on modern operating systems as possible.
Data/sprite/animation ETL:
Extract assets, make modifications, and import custom assets into the game for a custom look and feel, or to support future heavy modification / overhaul projects.
Full save game editing:
- Generate new worlds outside of normal vanilla capabilities/boundaries.
- World Map Editing: Edit territory boundaries, names, ownership and type/sub-type; military unit presence; world map design/tiles.
- Territory Editing: Add/remove buildings, and edit population, resources and morale
- Player Editing: Credits, research, add/remove races from a game, change the race you're playing as.
