About The Vault

Just to make it clear: none of the tools in this section were written by me – they are hosted here for posterity.

Over the years many brilliant tools have been created and many of these used to be hosted on Lucashacks or posted on the SCUMM hacking section of Lucasforums. Unfortunately, during one of Mojo’s many catastrophes Lucashacks was lost. Lucasforums went offline for years until Mojo started hosting an archive of it.

This means that there’s lots of information and tools that have disappeared from the internet. In an effort to fix this I created The Vault – a section on this site where I’m hosting all the SCUMM/Lucasarts tools that have disappeared.
