Kargaroc Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Recently I've been really interested with the development with Wind Waker. It started when I saw the Alpha Outset minimap on the Cutting Room Floor website. Most of my theorizing would be about Outset Island, although I've been studying other things like the Tower of the Gods. About Outset Island, I read somewhere (I think it might of been some beta map listings on the disk), that the Alpha Outset Island map (the one where there is no house on the left side of the map), was named DmSpot), the same name as the E3 2002 map. The Final version of the map is in a different folder (which I forgot the name of, lol). This probably means that DmSpot0 was a WIP folder. When things started winding down and the deadline came close, they decided to fork off a new version, in a different folder. Maybe they wanted to eventually work on it again and fix the vast mess that the deadline caused. The minimap was stored in a strange folder, called "tex". Normal minimaps are stored in a folder called "dat" This means that that version of Outset Island in the minimap was the very last version that used the old tex folder for minimaps. Later versions used the dat folder, and ignored the old tex folder. Later revisions only updated the dat folder, leaving the archaic tex folder unupdated. I guess that's all for my rambling for today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
