Quarry v1009

Quarry v1009

Builds the data for Sandstone Engine b1009
from a PS2 disc image you own. The converter version tracks the engine build number, so
v1009 goes with b1009.

Fixed in this release

• Pickup models were never baked from a PS2 disc. The step required
  DATA/MAPS/GENERIC/PROPEXT.IDE, which is a PC file, and gave up on the first miss - so
  data/pickups came out empty and every pickup in the game was invisible: money, health,
  armour, bribe, info, the save icon, the jetpack. They still worked and could be
  collected, they simply had nothing to draw. DYNAMIC.IDE declares the band and is on
  the disc; the PC-only file is optional now.
• The default settings.txt switched off the backdrop behind the on-screen log, so
  boot messages floated over the world with nothing behind them.
• The jetpack is baked as three parts (body plus two nozzle frames) so its nozzles can
  move.
• The SFX bake no longer depends on a warm temp directory: the PS2 executable and the two
  surface tables are staged by the audio step rather than by a later one.
• Draw-distance ceiling raised so the Quality preset can reach the original game's
  horizon in clear weather.

If you converted with v1005 or v1008, please re-convert. Delete your data/pickups
folder first if the tool reports the step as up to date.

Requirements

Windows, plus the .NET Desktop Runtime. Point it at a PS2 disc image you own and it
writes the data/ folder the engine loads. No game assets are included.
