After a short delay of a mere 3 years I have finally kept my promise and updated my Escape From Monkey Island launcher and setup programs.

For those that are unaware, the setup program is a replacement installer for Escape From Monkey Island. while the launcher is an improved version of the launcher program that LucasArts shipped with the game. It has a number of features not present in the original launcher such as running in windowed mode and patching the game to run in a higher resolution. The launcher program is included with the installer.

Changes to the setup program:

• Now fully supports all language versions of the game. There is one file “i9n.m4b” that is only found in the non-English versions of the game. Previously this file wasn’t copied – this is now fixed.
• Changed the cd detection code to fix the problem that some people had when it couldn’t search through all their drives and find the cd.

Changes to the launcher program:

• Can now apply a no cd patch – so the cds don’t need to be in the drive to play.
  • I resisted adding this for years due to concerns about piracy but now things have changed. The game is really old, its unavailable to buy and many computers no longer have a cd drive. It will work for every version of the game except Italian.
• The resolution patch has been updated to support the most common resolutions and to allow you to choose a custom resolution.
  • Remember that the game wasn’t designed for this so there are some issues. See the readme for more information about this.
• The resolution patch has been improved:
  • The game should now work in windowed mode when patched to a higher resolution. This doesn’t work for every resolution but works fine for most 4:3 resolutions
  • Cutscene movies now scale up to fill more of the screen. The patch now edits the movies to make them play at double size when appropriate. The original videos are 640×480, while the doubled videos are 1280×960. So at resolutions of 1280×960 and above the launcher will patch the movie files to make them double size. Many thanks to Gannet for these resolution fixes.
• Added option to use sounds in the launcher – just like the original game launcher does. Its enabled by default.

I’ve added support for Tales from the Borderlands episode 1 to Telltale Music Extractor. I’ve also added skeleton support for the remaining episodes – assuming that the file format and naming convention remain the same – new episodes should work without me needing to update the program.

Since I only have the Steam edition of Tales from the Borderlands the game dir wont be auto-detected if you have the Telltale version. If someone does have this version then please contact me. If you send me the registry keys that the game uses I can add auto-detection for this version too.

I’ve updated DoubleFine Explorer to add support for Costume Quest 2.

Download it here.

As requested, I’ve updated the Telltale Speech Extractor so that it now supports all episodes of The Walking Dead Season 2 and The Wolf Among Us.

The music extractor doesn’t need updating and will happily dump music from the new episodes without needing an update.

Download the Speech Extractor here.

Telltale Explorer has been updated to support Law & Order Legacies, Poker Night 2 and The Walking Dead Season One (remember that only games that are at least a year old are supported in this tool).
I’ve also tweaked its look and behaviour to match that of newer tools like Doublefine Explorer, fixed the error when opening really small ttarch files and added experimental lua script decompiling. See the readme for the full list of changes.

Many thanks to raedon in the comments for pointing out that the music and speech extractors didn’t work correctly with the Telltale editions of The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead Season 2.

Since I only have the Steam editions of these games the game dir wasn’t auto-detected if you had the Telltale versions. This caused problems with automatically identifying the correct resource files that the tools should open.

I’ve now fixed this and uploaded new versions of both tools. I’ve also added support for The Walking Dead Season 2: Episode 2 to the Speech Extractor.

There was a bug with the last release of the Telltale Music Extractor. With The Walking Dead 201 it dumped the music from the menu instead of the episode. This is now fixed in the latest version.

I’m also releasing an update to the Telltale Speech Extractor. This new version adds support for The Walking Dead 400 Days, The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1 and The Wolf Among Us Episode Two.

I’ve updated DoubleFine Explorer to add support for Broken Age. Music, images, text and scripts are viewable and dumpable.

I’ve also updated Telltale Music Extractor to add support for The Walking Dead 400 Days, The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1 and The Wolf Among Us Episode Two. I’ve cleaned and reworked the source code a bit in this version (the program is 8 years old) so please let me know if I broke anything. In addition, I’ve added support for the remainder of the episodes of The Walking Dead Season 2 and The Wolf Among Us. Assuming that the file format and naming convention remain the same – new episodes should work without me needing to update the program

I forgot about this, so apologies to those who asked me weeks ago. I’ve now added support for The Wolf Among Us episode 1 to Telltale Music Extractor. I’ll update the Speech Extractor too when I get some free time.

I’ve been very busy lately so this is a bit late but I’ve finally added support for Poker Night 2 to  Telltale Music Extractor and Telltale Speech Extractor.

After being hosted by Mixnmojo for nearly 9 years I’ve finally bought a domain and started to pay for hosting myself. The old quickandeasysoftware.net address now redirects to quickandeasysoftware.net. The old address should continue to work but you should probably update your bookmarks and rss to point to the new domain.

Many thanks to Mojo for hosting the site for all these years and to Jake, Remi and Zaarin for their help with it over that time.

As the site is now self-hosted donations would be appreciated more than ever. So if you’re one of those people who pesters me for months to update my software please consider donating.

After an unusually large number of emails asking me to update my Telltale tools, I’m finally doing so.  Telltale Music Extractor and Telltale Speech Extractor now support all episodes of The Walking Dead and have stopped using the dll files that some antivirus programs incorrectly flagged as a virus.

Telltale Explorer has also been updated to support Hector Badge of Carnage and Jurassic Park (remember that only games that are at least a year old are supported in this tool).

Download them here.

Today brings a small update to Telltale Explorer to fix a couple of bugs that have been reported. Bone 2 now opens correctly and the lua files in CSI Hard Evidence now display properly.
