Ambermoon.net

I am developing Ambermoon from scratch with C#. Have a look here.

Special thanks

Much work was done by a bunch of good fellas.

• Oliver Gantert and others of project Amberworld
• Daniel Schulz from Slothsoft with his savegame editor
• Nico Bendlin and his ambermoon research project
• kermitfrog did a lot reverse engineering (see here)
• Metibor helped a lot in decoding the savegame data (see here)
• Thallyrion did a lot game testing to confirm or identify some mechanics or data values.

And others provide information about Thalion and Ambermoon for ages now.

• Alex Holland from the Thalion Webshrine
• Gerald Müller-Bruhnke from the Thalion Source
• and many others (if you know anyone I forgot, please let me know)

Moreover there are some Albion reworks and reverse engineering projects. The data formats are very similar so there is some valuable information as well:

• freealbion by Florian Ziesche
• ualbion by Cam Sinclair

I want to gather the whole findings at a central place and provide it on a safe storage for the future.

I marked unknown values in the specs as Unknown. Would be nice if some of those values' meaning could be revealed by someone.
