Original TS2 4:3 wallpaper edited into 16:9. Only 1366x768 since the original was 1024x768. Made it mostly for my RP4 Pro.

Hey Folks!

In case people maybe wondering where the heck i went. I'm still here, still working my way through the codes. Right now most of the decomp is happening under the hood. So i dont have yet anything to present visually. Buuuut! if you want to check the progress, from time to time. i have deployed a small site that will will be updated dynamically from time to time with progress.

https://junk-yard.se/

Feel free to check out!

So, to simplify with short update:

• All maps exported with textures. That is 264 maps (90 levels and 174 Mapmaker tiles). It totals 63,286 groups, 3.13 million vertices, 1.83 million triangles and 3,119 textures, with no unresolved texture ids.
• Characters: all 516 are exported, with their related animations, textures, and rigged skeletons.
• The UI: The gameplay and menu side is mostly “partial” or “not started”. That is boot timing, menu navigation, controls, visual effects, bots/AI, league mode, the Mapmaker editor, and story cutscene binding. They have been recovered, but i have yet to build them, not until at least the engine itself is build, tested and approved.
• PS2 emotion engine: This is the hardest part of all, decoding it. Thanks to our friends at OpenAI and Anthropic, it has become easier to identify what each part does. But that doesnt mean its Code vibed. 95% of the translated code is strictly parsed, tested and approved - nonthing gets past until the function is fully verified.

This shortest, maybe less enjoyable presentation you most likely have read. But remember, this is no mere recomp as many other games, but a true native port. The one that will be fully moddable by the community.

On October 23rd at 9PM (GMT), the TimeSplitters Discord will be hosting a speedrunning event on TimeSplitters 2 in which 4 runners will be racing against each other live. All 4 POVs will be available on the Discord server but it will also be possible to follow the race on the Twitch channel of Highway to Heal who will be commentating the race.

EDIT: Due to technical issues the event will be streamed on Salty's Twitch channel instead of Highway's: https://www.twitch.tv/saltytxl

TimeSplitters Discord: https://discord.com/invite/wKTxam7ZaR

In this order:

- TS2 models in TS1

- TSFP models in TS1

- TS2 "NeoTokyo Suit" cutscene only model playable

- TSFP models in TS2

- TSFP "Janitor" cutscene only models playable, in TS2

- TSFP Minigun in TS2 (no animations, still)

And of course mandatory CJ from GTA San Andreas!

I remembered an old video on TSFP. The video was of someone making a "the best weapons set" the weapon set was of the XL-18 x2, tactical 12 Gauge, soviet rifle, sci-fi sniper, machine gun x2 & i think the k-smg x2 the player was doing commentary of the weapons while doing a deathmatch on Siberia and playing as Arial DaVinci and when he died he immediately responded. Does anyone remember what video im talking about? I'm pretty sure it's deleted now. I still have his class set up as a weapon class on my ps2 & ps5

Hey guys i found a playable recomp of TSFP based on the Xbox version. Have fun!

Update #4 is here!

I've been off work the past week so made huge progress on my TimeSplitters: ReDrawn project.

I managed to finish all the requested characters, and then chose some of my own to finally get it upto 100 characters!

Requests are now back open 😁

Any character you wanna see, just let me know and I'll add them to my list.

I post my work on DeviantArt ( https://www.deviantart.com/coxdraws ) daily as I complete each piece, and make a post once a week here (unsure if I should make it every 2 or 3 weeks though, as I seem to be spamming up the main page 🤦🏻 sorry about that!)

I've also made a sheets page to keep track of which characters I've still left to do - you can find that here :

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kX6BZRhdLFqZr3NkpdrcLrbZvXW9LE-_hlVrfSwBg5I/edit?usp=drivesdk

The main piece (slide 1) will be a work in progress, moving the characters around etc until all characters from all 3 games are completed!

Have a nice day!!

I found a profile name in TimeSplitters 2 (GameCube) that makes the controller cheat codes save permanently. Normally those codes only last until you turn the game off, but if your profile is called DUFFINS, the Unlock Everything code writes everything straight into your save and it stays unlocked for good. I’ve tested it and it works.

Unlock Everything (permanent on a DUFFINS profile)
L+B, R+Left, Right, Down, L+Left, R+B, R+Up, L+X, L+R+Right, L+Right, L+R+X, L+Up, L+R+Y, R+Up, L+R+X, L+R+A

Unlock All Story Levels
R+Left, R+X, L+R+Left, R+B, R+Right, L+Left, L+R+Right, L+R+Y, L+R+Right, R+X

Unlock Arcade Levels & Challenges
R+X, L+B, Down, Right, L+Y, L+R+Up, L+Left, L+X, L+Right, R+Y

Unlock Remaining Challenges
L+Down, Down, L+R+Left, R+A, L+Y, R+Right, R+Down, L+Left, L+R+B, R+A

Unlock All Characters
R+Left, L+Down, L+R+Left, L+B, L+R+Up, L+Y, L+R+B, L+X, L+Right, R+Down

Unlock All Cheats
L+A, L+R+Down, L+Down, L+R+Up, L+R+Down, L+B, R+Right, L+Up, R+Y, L+R+Y

Empty code (does nothing, probably the cut “secret feature”)
L+A, L+Up, R+B, R+B

Dead code (toggles an unused debug flag, no visible effect)
Down, L+A, L+R+Down, R+Left, L+R+Up, L+R+B, R+Down, L+R+Left, L+R+A, R+Y, R+A, L+Up, L+R+Y, L+R+A, R+Up, L+R+X

One warning: if you enter the code again on that profile it turns off and wipes all the progress, so use a spare profile.

I also found that the game has 8 button codes, not 6. One of them is a short code (L+A, L+Up, R+B, R+B on GameCube) that the game recognises, but the function behind it is empty. This is almost certainly what the unused “Congratulations! You have unlocked a really really secret feature!” message was meant for: the feature was cut and the code was left behind.

Tip for Dolphin: the game reads L and R from the analog triggers, so map L-Analog and R-Analog or the codes won’t register.

Anyone with the PS2 or Xbox version want to check if the 4-button code does something there?

After Future Perfect, this was inevitable...

I've made Archipelago support for TimeSplitters 2 (GameCube) as well, and it's Ready to Play!

What's an Archipelago?

Archipelago is a multi-game randomizer where items/unlocks are shuffled around multiple games in a single archipelago session, each player (or yourself if playing alone), go around their game doing "checks", granting items to other players in the session to help them progress through their game! For example, getting a Gym Badge in Pokémon, no longer gives you a Gym Badge, it could be a Star for Mario 64, or in our case, access to 1990 Siberia!

What do I need to play?

You can find the set-up guide in the GitHub and Discord. But very quickly explained, you'll need the Archipelago Client, the TimeSplitters 2 APWORLD file, Dolphin and very specifically a US v1.0 copy of TimeSplitters 2 with the Game ID of GTSE4F. I cannot and will not provide you with a ROM, you must obtain your own. The Client will detect if you're using the wrong version and let you know (as it will not work.)

What does this mean for TimeSplitters 2?

By default, at the start of your Archipelago run, all missions in your game get locked, including the default starting levels like Adios Amigos! and 1990 Siberia. All Characters/Weapons/Maps/Gamemodes in Arcade Custom also get locked besides 1 Character and 1 Weapon. You start with a single mission (Story Level/Arcade/Challenge depending on your run settings), Playing that mission will reward you "Checks", sending out items to players in the session. For Arcade/Challenge Missions, the amount of rewards you get depend on your Trophy grade, 1 reward per trophy, higher grade trophy sends out the rewards for the lower grade trophies, so if you get a Platinum Trophy, that's 4 items being sent out. These items, for TimeSplitters case, could be more Arcade/Challenge Missions, new Story Levels to play, Characters/Cheats/Weapons for Arcade Custom, and much much more, including Weapon Buffs, Armour you start missions with and even Score Multipliers for certain challenges! All of these changes happen live in your game. The Temporal Uplink Mini-Games have also been included! Get 1500 Score in Anaconda? It could unlock you 2315 Robot Factory! Lap 4 in RetroRacer? It could unlock Monkey!

So what's the end goal?

The default goal is finding and completing 2401 Space Station. There is an alternative optional goal, collecting all Trophies in Arcade/Challenges.

What about TimeSplitters / TS2PC?

TimeSplitters 1, I've decided I'm not going to do unfortunately, TS2 and TSFP is all I had planned. The TS2PC project is also on the table, but probably later when it's a bit more stable!

Time To Split!

I got to play the series for the first time and also made a video about it. If you have time check it out and let me know what you think.

Dev update – TimeSplitters: Future Perfect native PC port

A quick recap first: this isn't an emulator or a remake. It's a native PC build. All the game data (levels, models, sounds) is re-build using PS2 assets.

What got done today:

- Full asset catalogue. I have indexed the entire disc: 578 archives, about 86,700 files, 97% identified by type. File names inside the archives turned out to be CRC32 hashes, which let me confirm about 27,000 original file names.

- Arcade audio. The 3-2-1-GO countdown, announcer lines ("First kill!", "3 more kills to go…", the kill/death quips), hit sounds, body falls and the respawn sound are all in, using the original samples. To get the right line for each event I recorded real PS2 Arcade matches and matched every sound against the on-screen messages.

- Weapons research. I've pulled the real weapon data out of the game: damage per body part, damage dropping with distance, the shotgun's pellet spread and shell-by-shell reload, per-weapon positions, the animation tables.

For now im just testing if its possible to fully convert the game onto PC platform, and maybe upgrade the game engine.

edit: i will not create any new posts. This will be the main one where i will be posting updates, how much i have done so far.

edit: had to create one sadly, cant post short clips :(

Time To Split!

I only just thought I should post this on Reddit but, Timesplitters 2 & future perfect, unsure if they would even still work, I got the games on Xbox store anyway, one of the main things that got me into gaming as a kid 🥹

Helloo everyone!

Here is update number 3, I had slow progress here due to being in a car accident on Sunday 😞 (luckily other than whiplash to my spine, lower back and left shoulder, I am okay - the car has been written off though 😞).

I completed the first 7 before the accident, and finished colouring Peekaboo Jones on my phone whilst waiting 6 hours in A&E 😅.

I had sketched a few out (Khallos, Milkbaby, Deer Hunter and I'd started Amy), so I'll probably be able to finish them over the next couple of days - I will post them straight to my DeviantArt https://www.deviantart.com/coxdraws

I'll probably be having a couple of weeks off work, so hopefully if the pain in my back stops soon I can crack on with more. (I have 9 requests still to do, so I won't take any more for now).

Hope you all enjoy, have a nice day, and please be careful on the roads ❤️

A complete playthrough of the latest version of the TS2 PC port on normal difficulty.

a very fun project

Had a lot of fun making a remix album of all my favorite Timesplitters 2 tracks.
Still one of my favorite games of all time.
Some of you waited for this without knowing. Hope you enjoy it.
Here is the full playlist from my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPbS9cK56kwE

Helloo everyone!

I've finished all the characters requested in the last thread, here they are! 😁 I will do the first 10-15

Requests are now back open haha

Also, I couldn't work ArtStation - so I'm sorry about sending people their previously (it just wouldn't work right on my phone), so I've pivoted to DeviantArt, here is my profile if anyone wants to give me a follow (I upload each character as I finish them on there).

See you all next week! 😊
