I said restore, but what does that mean? Well, apparently now that Flatland is a standalone tool with a new version some syntax changed so I deep dived into the code of these projects, learned as I went and fixed certain issues.

Hunting down articles, long-dead websites, URL paths, going through the code to see redirects, and so on through the Internet Web Archive took days, but I think I finally hit the point where this is as much as I can do/find on my own. Mixing the default ones with their custom made ones.
So I sat down, spent a decent amount of days, in an attempt to preserve and restore as much of these I could find and make them easily playable on modern-day computers.īy default, Flatland comes with a decent amount of textures (certain Tomb Raider ones included), but Spot builders can include their own custom ones as they please (.wav files too for sound effects).

This topic was talked about in the past on this forum, but I don't want to necropost. Time to share the relics I discovered with anyone interested.
Recently I learned that the long-dead Flatland plugin was released as a standalone open-source tool so I decided to raid this long-forgotten (by most) tomb like our beloved heroine.
