Again, please do not request to have pirated copies patched.
Well dang dude, I had no clue this set of patches existed at all. Fantastic stuff, I'll be using this going forward!
Thanks to John Romero for tweeting out your channel earlier 👍
Awesome. Glad it helps! Love your content.
This is insane. They *added* bugs in the later release! What a rad community patch, that's some dedication. Love your high score table too :)
Heh. Thanks. I had a lot of fun doing that high score table! Lots of good channels on YT.
This is not really surprising. Bugs are added to new game releases all the time.
@@cookergronkberg still less bugs than cyberpunk
You must've been new to DOS gaming. Adding bugs happened a lot.
Pretty obvious they did not test game after making changes in code in later releases.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels.
There's a simple charm to this game that keeps me coming back
This was such a fun game! This, Starquake by Bubble Bus, and Scorched Earth were my go-tos before we got our SNES. Would love to see videos on these if you're familiar with them!
So many hours on Scorched Earth. And TIM. And Stellar 7… and now I'm potentially showing my age. 🙀
I loved scorched earth.
The mother of all games
That's awesome! Why hasn't anyone ever made a decent fan level pack for Jill?
THIS! I want fan level packs!!
Wow I completely forgot about this game until your video appeared in the suggested videos on UA-cam. Thanks for the vid and the info about the patch!
This is great! I had no idea that a patch existed! Will definitely check it out. Thanks for the video!
Awesome! This is exactly the reason why I made a video about it!
Recently found your channel. Your contents are of high quality & subject of these videos really hits home with my preferences. You got a new sub.
I had an AMD 486DX4 that was clocked at 233mhz. Back then you had to set your multiplier manually and you had to have a board that supported it, but the top of the chip had DX4-233 printed clearly on it, and it worked great at that speed with the included fan. I bought it at a 'computer show' back in the late 90's, which I'm sure dates me pretty bad. We didn't have Amazon or even Fry's back then, and small local PC shops had crazy high markups. Oh, to be young again...
I wondered why some videos online seemed a bit broken. I just dug up my original floppy disk from 1993. Turns out I have version 1.2c with animation and sound behaving like I remember, similar to the first release you showed.
It is us little people that made video games great!
Keep up the great work!
jesus, i forgot how much the midi music slaps in this game.
It appears that the free version I have of this from GOG is running as it should, but I looked this up because the sound effects were quite loud and bombastic to me, though I guess that's how they're supposed to sound. I'm interested to play it for sure, once I get a controller working, but I might have to turn the sound down or something lol
3:40 Nice hiscore list, I recognize some of these channels but not all. LGR, 8BitGuy and Techmoan are obvious. I guess Davejust is DaveJustDave, VWestLif is VWestLife and ObsoGeek is Obsolete Geek, while UXWBill appears to be a repair channel rather than a retro computer one. But I'm not sure who AdrianB is.
Adrian Barbot-bot?
Year late, but Adrian Black of Adrian's Digital Basement.
I'll have to examine the different versions. I've only seen 1993-12-27. Like the others, this was written in Turbo C with assembly (19 C files, 3 ASM files, plus an extra C file that's not named anything-.c) with Mystic's WORX library added in. A lot of the architecture, however, is in the .jn1 files, which effectively hyperlinks to other .jn1 files, to a .mac file and to the music (.ddt) files. A few are directly linked from within the program.
I won't say too much about the source, other than to note that one of the source files (design.c) has a board design routine, which may be called from within the menu by a secret command - control-E. You can design your own boards. The (unlisted) key commands in design-mode are Return, Tab, Escape, Space, K, I, V, H, O, Z, L, `, Y, N and S. You'll have to experiment with them ... and you should back up the game files before doing so.
It's not just board layout, but board objects too. O, in design mode, enters object design mode. All boards are 64 x 128 and the .jn1 files include both board layout and board objects, as well as board text, for the different levels.
There is also another hidden menu command, control-P, which I won't say anything about here.
Excellent vid thank you. Jill trilogy was released recently on GOG. Would you happen to know whether it can be patched and whether it needs to be patched? Cheers.
Your channel needs more views, please, never delist your videos
great video. having issues with keyboard not working in dosbox with jill. getting husband to look at it for me.
I smuggled that game and a few others into the computer lab, all on one floppy disk.
I had a later version of the shareware and replaced it with 1.0 thinking that was a later version due to the joke boxes.
I wonder if the GoG version is patched. Maybe I'll try it.
What if I want the horrible growling sound effects that I grew up with? I genuinely would love help getting those back. I know it sounds crazy but I wish I could hear the same sound effects I used to.
Well, if anyone is interested in a few new levels with the new patches applied, I've made a Jill episode early this year: pckf.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4731
Bootleg Shareware Jill PC Speaker Sounds Only Gang, report in.
SQRUUUAAAAAHHH
SQRAAAAUUUUHHH
DUDUDUUU DUDUUUU DUUUU DUUUU
Ah, perfect. Just the way I love it.
Cool, played the original on a 486
I did not know Tim Sweeney was a part of this game. It's hard to believe that someone went from this game to eventually creating a cash cow like fortnite.
Lol.. Pirated copies? Isn't the Trilogy free on gog? I either bought it or got it for free on a gog special. I'll look into patching.
0:19 Reminds me of South Park
Tomb raider and samus grandmother?
You realize that no matter what anybody says, the "correct" sound is going to be the one that a person grew up with on their PC, right? It's been a long day and I'm having trouble thinking of an example, but I know there were more than a few games I played as a kid that I set up on DOSBox today where I now have the ability to play with much better sound than I could as a kid, but in almost all cases I chose the crappier sound I had back then because otherwise it just doesn't feel like the same game to me and I lose a lot of the nostalgic connection.
I always wondered what the deal with this game was. Turns out, it was buggy as heck!
I should add, I followed your link, and SaxxonPike on VOGONS believes that the versions are:
"Volume 1 - v1.0
Volume 2 - v1.0 (but they didn't compress it with LZEXE this time)
Volume 3 - v1.2b"
I don't know how to apply the patch. I took a guess by running applypat(?), and I got a message that said "JJFILE2.EXE has a CRC that is not recognized and thus cannot be updated.". Make any sense?
The files are updated based on a CRC check. The patch runs a batch file that steps through the possible versions of the three EXE files and compares the CRC of the EXE in the directory (JJFILE2.EXE for example) to the list of CRCs it knows in order to determine the version.
If the CRC of Episode 2 v1.0 was LZH compressed at the time the patch was written and an uncompressed Episode 2 v1.0 wasn't made available to NewRisingSun, updates won't work.
I suppose it is possible that there might be future user patches from NewRisingSun or K1n9_Duk3 that work on the GoG version, and that version is only a few days old as of this comment.
I wonder where GoG sourced JotJ, and if they got it directly from Epic - why were they provided with these particular versions?
@@DisplacedGamers Thank you. I'll wait and see for any future updates. It's such a simple hypnotic game that captured depth and warmth. I was amazed it was licensed to a Christian group who pretty much put a skin on it and called it Onesimus (removing Jill!!!).
Epic adding bugs however to a game?! God knows what Epic gave GOG. It was nice for GOG to give it away for free though. Fans were begging for it over a number of years.
Awesome game!
Oh my god they were bethesda before bethesda.
WTF in version 1.0 all is good and ind later they fucked everything :D haha why?@!
