Hello people,

Im not shure if my question is in the right thread, but i will ask anyway.
Im playing a really old game called "the devil inside" (2000 by cryo interactive) and i would like to mod it.
But since its an very old game, i cant find any editors. I couldnt even find out which engine the game uses.
The only thing i know is that it uses directX 7.
If somebody of you knows how to edit this game, or can tell me which engine it uses, i would be very thankfull!
Thx in advance, Sweem :carefree:

Hmm, not sure which engine it uses or which editor you could use (if there's such an editor, that is). The only thing you could do is track down the games the developing company has created, then find the engine they use and finally search if there's an editor you can use for this engine. There's a big change 'The Devil Inside' uses the same engine as them. From a quick search I did, the developing company (Cryo Interactive) did some Point and Click games and (at least until 1992) used the Cryo's Omni3D engine.

I wish you the best of luck with your search :)

@Thanoshld
thx for the reply. I have done a bit of research, read interviews about the game and looked at the history of the company but i could not find any mentioning of the engine. :(

Maybe someone is familiar with GTZ-Files which seem to be levels and stuff?

Ok, now i found out that the game was developed by "gamesquad" and in an article about a later game (From dusk till dawn) it is mentioned that they used an updated version of the devil inside engine called GEO engine.
Someone know about the GEO engine?

You can always try to sent the creating company (if it's still around) a pm, or you can ask around in a 3D Third Person Shooter forum if someone knows something about it.

Also, if you have the experience, you could convert some of the game's files to use in another engine and start moding the game this way. But it would require a lot of work. You could try a free editor like Torque 3D Garagegames.com or Ogre Ogre3d.org, but I doubt that they open such files or help you, at least in a simple way.

Should anyone ever wander into this thread looking for an answer as I did a few hours ago. There is a tool for extracting GTZ files that you can find here Sites.google.com It's called GTZPack, it allows you to unpack and pack .gtz files.

I can also confirm that creating simple mods is very possible (Eg. make the shotgun shoot fireballs for lulz)
