This folder contains support scripts for building the BBC Master version of Elite.
-
crc32.py calculates checksums during the verify stage and compares the results with the relevant binaries in the 4-reference-binaries folder
-
elite-checksum.py adds checksums and encryption to the assembled output
-
elite-decrypt.py decrypts an encrypted game binary by doing the opposite to the elite-checksum.py script (this is not used in the build process, but is useful when trying to decrypt any new releases that might be found)
It also contains the make.exe executable for Windows, plus the required DLL files.
Right on, Commanders!
