This is a room viewer (and 3D model viewer) for Alone in the Dark series. It has been created mostly for speedrunning.
The following games are supported :
- Alone in the Dark 1 (CD-ROM, floppy, demo)
- Alone in the Dark 2 (CD-ROM, floppy, demo)
- Alone in the Dark 3 (CD-ROM, demo)
- Jack in the Dark
- Time Gate: Knight's Chase (CD-ROM, demo)
- You need to have the original version of the game installed somewhere on your computer (eg: from GOG)
- Extract AITD room viewer archive in a folder (eg : on your desktop)
- Create a new folder named "GAMEDATA" inside of it.
- Copy the following files from the game to GAMEDATA folder :
- ETAGE00.PAK, ETAGE01.PAK, ETAGE02.PAK, ...
- CAMSALxx.PAK (Time Gate only)

Put mouse on a box to highlight it.
- Light gray boxes are colliders which player cannot passthrough
- Blue boxes are colliders that player can interact with or used for actor instantiation
- Teal boxes are links between rooms and is used for pathfinding
- Red and amber boxes are triggers. It is usually used to switch from one room to another. It can also trigger other things like enemies, sounds, scripted sequences, ...
It's possible to view all active entities in the game, displayed and updated realtime from DOSBox.
To do this, simply play AITD at the same time room viewer is running. If everything is OK, you should view a white square with an arrow, this is player position.
Common issue: if AITD has been started with administrator rights, room viewer will not be able to see DOSBox process. To fix this, run room viewer with administrator rights (or run AITD without administrator rights).
When the game is linked to DOSBox, it is possible to change the position of an actor using drag and drop. Hold left mouse button while mouse is on an actor. Move cursor (keeping left mouse button pressed) and right click to warp (you can do this multiple times). Then, release left mouse button. It is also possible to manually edit position of an actor by right clicking on it or by pressing numpad keys :
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| 4 6 | move actor left / right |
| 8 2 |
move actor down / up |
| 7 9 | rotate actor left / right |
| 0 | hold it while pressing the numpad keys above to update at a higher rate |
When the game is linked to DOSBox, you can swap two actors slot positions this way :
- Highlight an actor
- Press X
- Type a number between 0 - 49 (with keypad or alphanumeric keys)
- Press Enter
It's not possible to have the viewer running fullscreen and at same time focus to be on another window (eg: the game itself). One solution is to play the viewer in window mode (by pressing Alt + Enter)
You can use any recent version of but Unity 5.5.4p3 is recommended.
Copy the following files to GAMEDATA folder:
- LISTBODY.PAK, LISTANIM.PAK
- LISTBOD2.PAK, LISTANI2.PAK (AITD1 only)
- ITD_RESS.PAK (for palette)
- CAMERAxx.PAK (for palette, JITD only)
- TEXTURES.PAK (Time Gate only)

To view models properly you have to create custom shaders. Here is the custom materials that can be created under Blender :

output("<b>Material Output</b>")
color--> |Color / Surface| output
flowchart LR
color("<b>Color Attribute</b>")
image("<b>Image Texture</b><br>noise.png")

mix("<b>Mix</b><br>Color<br>Multiply<br>Factor 0.5")
color --> |Color / A| mix
image --> |Color / B| mix
mix --> |Result / Surface| output
You can use this white noise texture

In Material properties (right tab), set "Blend Mode" to "Alpha Blend"
