DeloresDev engine executable no longer available?

Delores Engine
1

Hi all, long time gamer, first time poster here.

As an amateur programmer, I’m interested in tinkering with GitHub - grumpygamer/DeloresDev: Read all about it on GrumpyGamer:

But unfortunately, the link to the executable is no longer available at https://thimbleweedpark.com/deloresdev

There is a 404 error. Also missing are the FMOD files and Wimpy as they were from the same URL.

I realise I’m 4 years late to the party but does anyone have a copy of the files they could possibly send/DM/email to me? Or were they all removed for a specific reason?

Thanks

The files are accessible on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine: Delores: A Thimbleweed Park™ mini-adventure

Thanks ephialtes.

Unfortunately, when I ran the engine file, the Prefs.json file didn’t generate automatically. Are you able to share the contents of that file? Please note I am attempting to run the Mac version.

When I ran the engine file for the first time on Windows 10, the following

%AppData%\Terrible Toybox\DeloresDev\Prefs.json

file was created:

booted: 1715512093
debug: 1

Thanks. The Prefs file ended up in a different location. Just found it then.

Engine is starting but getting some errors now:

I was getting the same error, which I fixed by adding a path to the engine into the Prefs.json file:

devPath: “C:/Users/ephialtes/DeloresDev”

Got it working! Thanks so much. I didn’t realise I had to use the full path.

Thank you, that helped me a lot. It is now working for me too. However, I have the problem that I cannot change the language to German. I already tried the dirty way and renamed the file “Translations_de.tsv” to “Translations_en.tsv”, but it doesn’t work.

It’s been a while to say for sure, but there were some issues with loading the proper tsv file.

When you say the brute force does not work, can you check the file paths? Did you try other languages to test?
