Hum, this makes me less hot to try it. Can it run in DosBox ? I don't plan on using WOTed anyway, and I don't have the game, but if I buy it somewhere and can't play it, I'd be very dissappointed.
My main problem is... Do you need to know the book to understand what happens ? Are there concepts you don't understand otherwise ?
And surely, the game must be able to play without quicktime... There must be a way to bypass the videos and read them with another program...
No, like I said, it's a prequel. Hence it's like an introduction to the books. You don't need any prior knowledge. Well, it takes place after one of the short prequel stories, but then the intro cinematic in the game is a summary of that anyway.
Yes, the game plays correctly when you bypass QuickTime. You just have to launch the game by opening Entry.wot directly, instead of launching the executable. Or, if I recall this correctly, if you don't install the videos from CD 2, the game also skips all the cinematics directly. The videos are in .mov format, so you can view them externally (although on modern Windows there are some issues with the sound and certain decoders, but then you can re-encode the videos anyway).

why dont you use the tool you made and convert the maps and upload them here for us to see. a simple wot mapppack would be great.
Yeap, that's the idea. I'm just releasing the tool if anyone wants to play around with that. I will have to add support for more actors, and then I'll be able to convert all maps. Then I'll make a map pack of that.
