Nice site!
I've made an code generator for Lagaf' Les Aventures de Moktar Vol1: La Zoubida that's much better than your Titus the Fox code generator :P. Get it at www.sfprod.tk

This game is my all time favorite. I played it since I was 6 (now I'm 17). This is a great site, keep it up!!

I always wanted to know if I discovered every secret in this game. Now when I see screenshots I know I missed something. BTW I wanted to make such a site by myself but I never had a time. I played Titus the Fox for the first time in 1994. Now I'm 27 years old and the game didn't become old for me. A very good site. Good luck!

dude-
in the trainer you made, your instructions say you have to replace the game.com file in your titus directory. i don't have this file, and the trainer doesn't work. could you maybe email me a version of the game that does include it? my email is hepcatone[at]gmail.com. i would be happy to send you a gmail invite if you don't already have one :)

Woow, Erix ZMIRO has written here! :D About a level editor, I would be VERY interested in making new levels for it. Titus the Fox has been "the game of my life", I started playing it at 12 and now I'm 24 and I still play sometimes. I'm proud of saying that I discovered ALL the secret passages by myself :P
Please, Jesses, continue with the level editor, it will be great! (And if Eric Zmiro could give a hand... :P)

El juego es muy bueno, lo único que no entiendo es: si lo hicieron en Argentina, ¿Por qué lo sacan en ingles? en mi juego dice que fue echo en la provincia de Santa Fe, en la que vivo hoy en día.
Disculpen mis falta ortográficas, estoy usando traductor.

How to get the game....
Go to google, type....
"titus.zip" or...
"titus the fox" "zip"
you should be able to find it quite easilly.

I remember it took me time to jump on the high column without dying... Moktar jumps too fast, too high.
The only way to succeed is to slow down your computer, using moslo for example. Now you'll be able to go to the next column~

Hi, nice to see people still working and playing this great game. I allways wanted a level editor and more levels to play.
But I have a problem I can run Titus the fox, and I also can run mfc.com yet when I want to run the game from the editor it crashes. I'm not that good with English so I'll try to explain this by giving you the details:
-I use ffc.com to run Titus the fox
-In the folder there's a fox.com, if I run this, the same error message that is displayed when I try to run the game from the mfc.com is also displayed
-If I rename ffc with fox.com the game doesn't work (neither the game alone, or running it from the editor).
I'd like to know if you can help me here, I'll give more detailed info if it's needed.
BTW, I see some "new" enemies in the sprite viewer are these used somewere?

Wow! Nunca me imaginé que podría existir un sitio como este en Internet. Realmente fantástico el encontrarse con personas que al igual que yo, estuvieron bastante tiempo jugando y tratando de ganar este dificilísimo juego.
Este juego es sin duda alguna, una verdadera obra de arte. Fue diseñado hace mucho tiempo pero en aquel tiempo, se veía fenomentalmente bien y tenía una música en realidad muy buena. El nivel de dificultad y como muchos aquí lo confirman, era verdaderamente difícil sobre todo llegando a los niveles 8 y 9. El nivel 9 fue un dolor de cabeza para muchas personas, incluidos también para algunos amigos míos. Al no haber código de la 9, era verdaderamente cansado y hasta aburrido tener que hacer todo el nivel 8, para luego llegar hasta la 9 y joderse de nuevo cuando había que saltar en los picos casí al final ;-) !Vaya sufrimiento! y que recuerdos
Quiero también agradecer a toda la gente que ha hecho posible esta página. Es bonito encontrarse y saber que todavía y después de tantos años hay gente que recuerda este juego y a que al igual que yo, lo jugaron con todo gusto.
Un enorme saludo al programador Eric Zmiro y también a todos los demás integrantes del equipo francés, que hicieron posible este juego.
Fue todo un placer Sr Zmiro, haber jugado el Moktar hace tanto tiempo. Esc cierto que se lo digo ya un poco tarde, pues son ya casi 15 años después de haber realizado, pero se lo digo con todo gusto y reconocimiento que fue un gran juego. !!Gracias!!
Saludos cordiales a todos!
Gambito.
PD: Nunque super si una segunda version de este juego había llegado a salir. Que me pueden decir los fanáticos acerca de esto?
Gracias!

I have 1 question though: Do you have or plan to make a Titus Fox game editor, where I could change the original game levels, the sprites, the wallstyles and such? I'd like to make a "Titus the Fox 2", it would be perfect if an editor would be made to make these things possible.

Okay, fixed it, it was an undefined variable in DOSBOX.CONF.
Problem solved.
Tell me: Can I change the level names somehwere?
Added by Reactor on Mon Dec 18 16:44:23 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
Thank you for the quick response. Now I managed to write the complete list of all Titus The Fox secrets!
Making an editor which allows total conversion is an excellent idea! Until that,I'll try to create some levels with MTF. The capital of Hungary is such a crime-infested place, it'll serve excellent as a level :) There are tons of muggers, gipsies and homeless men around just like in the game, they'll even throw you with bottles if you get too close! :))
Okay, enough goofing around. I'd have a question. If you make the total conversion-editor, can it be possible to use MIDIs instead of MODs? I can easily convert MP3 and WAV to MIDIs, which I can't do with MOD files, that's why (I don't know if there a MOD converter exists).
Reply by Jesses on Mon Dec 18 18:50:04 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
Well, the game doesn't use mod files; instead, it has two separate custom formats, one for pc speaker music, the other for adlib. However, I happen to have built in a mod player in the latest (not yet released) version, so mod is probably the easiest way to go if it comes to making new music (I also might put in a pc speaker/adlib tracker or something).
Making a midi player is not that hard, so I could do that. However, the thing with midi is that it depends on your sound card whether the music sounds good or crap (aside from the mess of introducing a fourth music format).
As for conversion; you can really convert WAV/MP3 to midi easily? Tell me more! A MOD -> WAV converter is really trivial (winamp's diskwriter does just that), so if you can convert WAVs to midi, MODs can also be converted.
In fact, direct conversion between mod and midi is possible and there are some programs that do it; midi to mod is the easier of the two (since the other way around requires you to pick and tune the right instruments for each mod sample). Although, with midi -> mod you hit the problem of only having 4 channels.. oh well.
Added by Reactor on Mon Dec 18 22:41:45 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
Well, for converting WAV/MP3 to MIDI, I use the program named Mobile Music Polyphonic. It must be purchased, but - and ssssh! about this! - I cracked up the 1.5 version, so I could use it to convert MP3/WAV into MIDI. To tell the honest,the first results are 100% crap, you will have tons of work making a proper MIDI out of the former MP3/WAV, but it saves you from hours of work. You can also edit/change instruments of MIDI files, slowing/speeding it up, or write a brand new song :) So it's a really cool program.
Can you recommend me a good MIDI to MOD converter then? If there will be new possibilities for music in the "total editor",I'd probably choose MOD instead of MIDI, since it will not change on other sound cards (I suggested MIDI since Wolfenstein 3D also used MIDI files as music). I converted hunderds of famous music from MP3 to MID, such as Final Countdown, Seven Seconds, All The Things She Said, and many more!
It really works in the other direction. I can convert EVERYTHING into WAV and MP3 which my Winamp can play.
Of course, you're freely welcomed to put the secrets list up :) I'll send it right away!

I encourage you to experiment with MTF, you will see that when you catch the idea is very easy to use :)
I can't wait to play your levels! :)

Well, since our capital Budapest is such a crime-infested place, I'd make the Eastern Rail Station (Nyugati pályaudvar in Hungarian), if there were some new sprites, like trains and such. Evil homeless men, tramps and policemen would fit in the scene very well! Especially policemen...they shoot first,and ask questions never! :))Reply by Jesses on Tue Dec 19 15:30:24 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
Ha, thanks for the secrets list, as you can see I've put it online :-)
Hmm, I could swear I had a MIDI -> MOD converter lying around, but apparently not. If you really need one, I could try my luck on making one myself; at least simply putting the notes in some MOD patterns should not be that hard, and you could put standard MIDI samples in yourself and finetune everything. Hmm...Reply by Jesses on Tue Dec 26 12:55:44 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
For those interested, I've found a midi -> XM convertor that seems to work great: MID2XM. XM to MOD conversion still needs to be done of course.
You'll need a patch set for it to work. I used eawpats; its official site seems to be dead however, but I found the patches here too.

Can you explain .SQZ file format and your new .LVL file format?
Reply by Jesses on Thu Dec 28 16:30:50 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
The .LVL files are nothing else than uncompressed SQZ ones. The format of the LVL files however is a bit too lengthy to put here, so drop me a mail if you want the details :-)

Hmm, in case you're using IE7: for some reason it seems to ignore the MIME type of the file. Just right-click and do a Save Target As, that should do the trick...Reply by Juanjo on Wed Dec 27 15:42:25 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
I don't know, maybe Jesses (webmaster)knows the answer.
If you play the "nvl" ones, tell me your opinion, I made them :)Reply by netz on Wed Dec 27 22:08:36 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
I think your levels are very difficult, especially lvl nvl1001.lvl and the others too. I only succeeded to complete nvl0101.lvl after several times. Did YOU succeed to complete them from the BEGINNING to the end with only 3 lives??
In addition, How can I pass the almost last part in nvl1001.lvl with the bullies on narrow floors with nowhere to jump afterwards???Reply by Juanjo on Thu Dec 28 23:31:34 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
And no, I'm not able to pass the levels with only 3 lives. I use mtf loading it with MTF TRN EDIT (and choose f6 to unlimited lives).
But they may be possible with 3 lives once you know the level well :)Reply by netz on Sat Dec 30 19:38:34 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
How can you use f6 in your own levels?
I can use it only with the original game and not with my levels (I also made or changed some levels, but they are not so difficult as your levels).Reply by Juanjo on Sun Dec 31 20:30:34 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
You may run the editor under DosBox, and run it typing MTF TRN EDIT.
Then, once you are playing your level, press F6 :)
If you made some, put them on the site, I want to play them :DReply by Juanjo on Thu Dec 28 23:29:50 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
Hi, yes, they are VERY difficult, for people who has passed the whole game and are searching for new and more difficult levels.
You can pass the last part of 1001 picking up the bullies, and using the elevators.
Try the nvl0501, it's my favourite of my levels and not very long :)
Greetings!Reply by netz on Sat Dec 30 19:45:35 2006 - [Reply][Permalink]
Thanks for helping in 1001 (can I pick them up from the front? can I pick up other creaturs?).
The end of 0501 is also difficult, you need to make more funny levels and not difficult ones.Reply by Juanjo on Fri Jan 5 21:12:55 2007 - [Reply][Permalink]
Yes, you can pick up other creatures, but always from de back.
I will try to make easier levels :) Thanks for the advice!

Hi Eric ;
I'm from Iran...
I just wanted to say that your game has been the best game I've ever seen in my life, as one said in this guest book, "Game of my life", I think that the team has been the most intelligent and talented one,As the other guy mentioned in the guest book I started this game when I was about 12-14 years old , and now I'm 25 years old...finishing my M.Sc and applying for Ph.D but yet playing this game(Still can't pass the 9th level!!! :) )...
Lots of things makes me wonder through this game: things that were designed to be used once(like the skull bone at the end of the 8th level), the very beautiful graphics with the lowest volume of files for that time (and even now!),and also how very mysterious is the game, the secret places, and the multi-choices you've got to end a level , ways that one could never see ,well, thanks to Jesse and Reactor I saw some that I hadn't seen,the way that each level has its own characteristics,each level is in a different media,I even like the way the enemies !!!...especially the old men who throw the T.V s(when thy die!!!)...Last thing to blow my mind is the beautiful music with eastern (or Egyptian) theme...
Don't you have any site, I'd like to know if you've made any other games,and also know abut yourself(How a human could be such creative!)...
My email is Keivan82@yahoo.com

Keivan

You can pass the door after the boss is killed. To do that, drop those boxes on his head 4 times (don't throw them).

If you want a mp3 ringtone, just use winamp's diskwriter to create a wav out of the mod files and make an mp3 out of it. Midi is a bit more work i think. At least, a decent one ;-)Reply by sergix on Sun Mar 11 00:06:00 2007 - [Reply][Permalink]

Reply by Jesses on Thu Mar 15 00:22:46 2007 - [Reply][Permalink]
The thing with level 11 is, you have to hold that cage you find along the way when passing the exit. So, throw the cage into the boss area, find yourself a fancy weapon, kill the boss with it, hold the cage, and walk into the right side of the screen. Hope this helps :-)

I wonder, if you have level redactor for Rrehistoric 2, since it's levelfiles are in a format very close to Moktar's.
If yes, can you reach to my mail and send it, would be very grateful. If no, well, still maybe you could share the sources for moktar's editor with us? Please answer by mail, or here.

I just do not know how to complete the level 9. I got stuck when I arrive to a place where there is a padlock and a platform, with lots of spikes on the bottom and in the ceiling. There is an egyptian painting on the background so you can recognize the place i assume. Since you pick up the padlock you can´t go back. I tried a lot of times to be precise, but I can´t just jump to the second platform without life loss! If someone can tell me a hint to help me you have my e mail. please send me a help.

Hey hey,
the dosbox is a dos emulator, handy for playing these ancient games: take a look at http://www.dosbox.com.
Anyways here's how to use it, in case the game is in D:\TTF:
- start dosbox already
- type:
MOUNT C: D:\TTF
C:
- start the game normally
- press CTRL+F11 or F12 to adjust the speed, this also helps with the grab-from-behind trick
Good luck!

Hello!
I played that game about 10 years ago, and when I found it again, I was thrilled! But I am dealing with some problems which I don't remember... In example, can anyone tell me on level 5, how do I kill the undead boss with the axe, and how do I leave?
Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work!

Hello!
I solved my problem, but there's another. When I run mtf trainer mode to have unlimited health or lives, I haven't. I die 3x and game over. What can I do to have unlimited lives?

Man, I remember Titus, but barely. I once had a Titus Games collection disk LONG ago, but it got scratched to a point where it sometimes had problems playing, and it's also been long lost for awhile too.
Though I'm wondering about the music section - I can't get any of the PCAdlib songs to play, and the thing that said how to play them seemed a bit too complicated or something, and I even tried downloading everything it said to download for it, but I couldn't quite get it working. ...Um, is there anyway somebody could record them as mp3s?

Hello!
I have a problem. I have XP, controls not work in dos mode. When I use dosbox, and when I reach the code lamp in a level, the code is always "0000", so I can't use codes. Can anyboby help me, please?
Reply by SweetBomber on Sat May 31 00:36:26 2008 - [Reply][Permalink]
It happens to me too. I believe that's because I have the version A. The solution is just load the game with mtf, and choose the "Run the game normally" option.
GreetsReply by Jesses on Tue Jun 10 17:44:34 2008 - [Reply][Permalink]
Hey!
Yeah, the dosbox code problem is there, because the game bases its codes on the contents of the rom bios section in memory (which is also why the codes differ on most machines). Problem is, in dosbox that part of memory contains mostly zeroes, messing up the code generating algorithm. But like SweetBomber said, mtf will detect it and replace the algorithm with another one (the one from Moktar actually), giving you hopefully more usable codes. Nothing related to version A though :-)

Hello !
I've just discovered this site. It's very ... surprising. After so many years, some peoples are still talking about this game !
Finally, I feel some proudness because I'm the musician who made the musics for this game. And it's very fun to hear it again, 18 years after ! I've worked 3 years for TITUS company as musician (from 1989 to 1991).
Is there another website talking about other titus games ?
Thank you for all !
Reply by Jesses on Tue Jun 10 18:13:46 2008 - [Reply][Permalink]
Hey there, nice to see you found the site!
The game still seems to have many fans, to me it always stood out because of its unique platform gameplay involving the object carrying stuff (and also it was my first game on PC). And the music seemed nice too :-p.
I was wondering, as the game has so many different music formats (mod, adlib, beeper, ym etc) how did you compose all of them? Perhaps by "porting" the MOD version? Also I noticed the ST and CPC versions sound different, while they use the same AY-3-8912 chip if I'm not messing things up.
There might be more titus sites out there, but I only know my own site about Prehistorik 2 at http://pre2.mine.nu.
Anyway, thank you for the nice musics!

Nice site. 14 years ago I was frequently playing Moktar on my A600, and on A1200. That was my favourite game. PC version has very poor scrolling, so I like only Amiga version.
Does anyone know: It is possible to use custom maps in Amiga version?
Reply by Jesses on Wed Oct 28 13:29:24 2009 - [Reply][Permalink]
I guess it would be possible, but probably just as on the pc require something like MTF to be made.. Without that, on the pc the main obstacle is level height, you can replace the pc levels with custom levels as long as the height is the same, perhaps on the amiga too. Just have to uncompress/recompress the amiga level files, I actually never looked into that, if they use the same format as the pc it would be easy to try. Probably Eric knows more about it :-)Reply by Almalexia on Wed Oct 28 15:02:43 2009 - [Reply][Permalink]
I looked into "data" folder of the Amiga version of Titus/Moktar and I noticed that structure of files is different from the PC version (many more files than in DOS version). Probably those files are not compatible with each other, so I need to learn how to play on pc-version in order to play new custom levels.
Thanks for your answer.

Hello everybody!
I'm happy to see that there are other people thinking about this game. I was playing it about 15 years ago on my first IBM PC. Amazing memories...
My brother brought a CD named "crazy games" or something similar. There were about 127 or 128 games, I'm not sure.
We were playing old games of this kind. Lion king, Titus the fox, there was a game named "frogger" I think. It was about a rabbit who was always trying to smash something in order to get to the next level. Golden axe - many of you should remember it. I was playing it on nintendo too!
I'm software developer and I'll be happy to help this community grow bigger and bigger.
Greetings to the developers: architects, designers, programmers, musicians and all other involved in this!
I believe we could develop something new, something better for this community. What you think 'site owner' ?

According to the left "SECRETS" menu, the fifth tip of the LEVEL 8,
we should go underground, or we have no way to go out of the secret above area.
But i think "the two way" is needed a 'trick' respectively.
Upper way is needed to do 'picking up the enemy'
Lower way is needed to do 'change the ball and the box'
The writer may not know that: The FOX can pick up the mugger!(or skeleton, killer bee, and so on)
we should pick up them on the back of the enemy. we can't do that in front of them. anyway, we can go through the upper way, if we pick up the mugger and throw to homeless man guarding the way to go out.

왼쪽의 SECRETS 메뉴에서 8단계, 5번 팁을 보면
분명히 윗 길로는 갈 수 없다고 되어있는데,
제가 생각하기에는 두 갈래의 길이 각각 뭔가를 요구하는 것 같습니다.
윗 길은, '적을 들 수 있느냐?'를,
아랫 길은, '상자와 공의 위치를 바꿀 수 있느냐?'를 알아야 합니다.
SECRETS에 글을 써주신 작가가, FOX가 '강도'를 들 수 있다는 것을 모르고 있는 모양입니다.
강도 뿐만이 아니라, 벌, 해골, 마귀할멈 등을 들 수가 있는데, 항상 뒤쪽에서 들어야합니다. 앞쪽에서는 절대로 들지 못합니다. 어쨋든, 윗 길로 가서 강도를 든 후에 노숙자에게 던지면 됩니다.

It seems you have quite an interesting amount of TTF stuff on your site.

I thought the idea from the mugger. I thought that : 'Why the mugger walks so slow?'
And I realize it means we can pick up the mugger easier.

It's a bug in the game...
The game uses internal level numbers from 0 to 19; internal level 19 corresponds to real level 2, the other numbers are mostly similar with gaps here and there. After you enter a code number, the game first checks if it matches the code for any of these levels, however it accidentally checks this for levels 0 to 20 instead. This 21st level overflows the level name and level exist data structures, which is why the game thinks the level exists and why garbage shows up as the level name.
To get that screen, you need to enter the level code of internal level 20. In DOSBox running with MTF that's 29AE for TTF or D829 for Moktar. When you try to play it the game will just whine about LEVELK.SQZ though...

Hey!
Hope you mean the PC version's format, I've sent you a mail with the format info attached. If you're after making a windows port of the DOS version, check out OpenTitus (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentitus), they're already getting close to a playable version.
However if you're after the CPC version, things get more unlucky. It's completely different from the PC, and I've only reverse-engineered a small part, just enough to make those CPC level maps on this site. Let me know if you're interested in the sketchy details on that.

Nope, can't send you that SQZ file format data, but you're in luck because it has just been put on the site! Have a look in the new TECH DOCS section.
I've not yet digged in the Blues Brothers file formats. They're made by another team of coders, so it's not likely the formats will be very similar to ttf/moktar or pre2...

Hi! I'm PrehFan, I play Prehistorik since 2002! ^_^ I'm desperate fond of this game and I've found almost all secrets there. I'm Russian fan (to be exact, Belarusian fan - I'm from little country called Belarus =)). Unfortuntely I didn't play Titus the Fox but I guess this one is cool.)))
I wrote the walkthrough to Prehistorik 2 in Russian language (you can see it here: http://prehistorik.ru). It's the fullest walkthrough now (although it isn't the final version). I also plan to write Prehistorik 1 walkthrough.
I'm gonna create the remake of Preh2. As you know Preh2 runs on WinXP with "hissing" sound and there are some bugs there. Even DOSBox does not always help. In addition, there are no normal level editors. I found one - http://www.old-games.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=24258 (links in the lower rectangle inside the first post) - but it's poor and the format of levels is limited in possibilities. You can't change sizes and palettes of levels, you can't create more than 1024 enemies, 70 items, 15 platforms, 80 secrets and 20 gates. As for me it, I'm not enough of this. I want to create the remake of Preh2 - without bugs, without hissing sounds, with internet score board & with NORMAL and UPGRADED level editor (for creating your own levels). I don't start it now but if I do, I'll write here. =)
Thank you very much!
PrehFan
P.S. Eric Zmiro, if you read my post, please answer: did you write Preh2 & TTF in pure asm?
P.P.S. I'm very sorry that I have to write it here. It's just because there aren't any guest book at http://pre2.mine.nu. Please restore it!!! (2 Author: I can help you to clean all the spam out if neccessary. =))

Hi PrehFan!
Alright alright, by popular request the pre2 site's guestbook is now back online! Along with some overall site redesign.
Nice walkthrough so far. When I add a links section to the pre2 site as well, now there is already something to put inside it :-). Probably I'll add a tech docs section as well, there is some documentation made by the guy behind that editor you found and me, that you will probably find interesting to have. It's nowhere near as detailed as the docs on this site though... Anyway, looking forward to your remake!
Hope Eric won't mind if I answer your question for him, but TTF was made in pure asm, and as far as I know pre2 also.
Cheers,

O, thank you for redesigning the site!!! I really like it =)
BTW, if you want to know, there is a post 'by the guy behind that editor' I found in this guest book. "Added by Dorten on Wed Mar 28 12:27:47 2007" - find this. Apparently Dorten didn't fing any docs for Pre2 and he thought level formats for Pre2 & TTF are equal. As you see he hadn't reverse-engineered several bytes yet. But I think it's enough to create own levels. :) Unfortunately he was never back to Pre2 editor :(((( but it's reason to create our own!)))
As for remake, I've found like-minded persons on the Russian site http://prehistorik.ru. This site is not ready because of no time but I'll request site owner to give me privilegues for editing the site. Maybe I'll rewrite walkthrough (as for me it's 'raw' =))) in Russian and English and add a lot of things there. Now we think what to add to the remake :DDD Hm, good idea! Couldn't you make a quiz "what do you want to see in the remake of Pre2"? If to do this, we would know what to do better in the remake.
Sincerely,
PrehFan.
P.S. Do you speak Russian? :D Or did you use online-translator?Reply by Jesses on Thu Feb 23 23:10:15 2012 - [Reply][Permalink]
Hehe yeah, after that post Dorten and I got into some emailing, I told him what I knew of the format so far and he then researched it and added a lot more information. Eventually he made that editor you found.
The limits it has (70 items, 15 platforms etc) are not editor limits but game engine limits, you'd have to either hack up the game itself to increase them, or make your own engine. Also, 1024 enemies is really a very optimistic limit, as the actual amount of enemies depends on the kind of enemy; the enemy descriptions are variable-length. Anyway, too much detail for this site :-). I'll put the file format info we discovered on the pre2 site in a couple of days.
Unfortunately my Russian sucks! When viewing the Russian site I've had to rely on a translator, which sucks slightly enough to be usable. From what I could see, the walkthrough part looks quite useful already. I'll think about the quiz :-).

Hello.
I have a question : Is there any way to download the official Prehistorik 2 game?
I mean the original floppy disk image ... no the game cracked by hybrid or others, that can be found on any abandonware site.
Thank you in advance from Romania

Greetings!
You can download non-cracked version (BTW, it's from 'TITUS 10 Awesome Games'!) here:
http://www.old-games.ru/forum/showpost.php?p=320102&postcount=1
Download files 'pre2nocd.part1.rar' and 'pre2nocd.part2.rar' and extract them to a folder. Then run START.BAT and have fun! :)
NB: I've found little differences from the hybrid-cracked version and version I suggested. There are some palette differences (main hero isn't sunbathed at level 3, etc.). But it's nothing, it doesn't change the game, moreover it was released later than official Pre2. :)Reply by Denis on Mon Mar 12 21:59:58 2012 - [Reply][Permalink]
Thank you very much for the link!
I wanted the version without crack because i like games untouched for my collection.
I've made a perfect clone for every game i've bought so that i can run them in emulation software without crack or nocd fix.i've managed to clone almost every kind of copy protection including DVD Securom 7.XX with a tweaked BlindWrite profile I've made (guys on forums said that kind of protection can't be cloned).I am not able to clone starforce protection, yet.
Thank you again

Jesses, will you add OpenTitus code detectors to your trainer?
Reply by Eirik on Thu Mar 15 21:25:30 2012 - [Reply][Permalink]
The level codes are currently hard-coded, hidden in src/settings.c in the source package. Or perhaps you would prefer the built-in develop mode (by adding the line "devmode 1" to titus.conf), then you can toggle noclip with "N", godmode with "G" and skip level with "S" ;)

Hi. i'm korean
i would often play the game "titus the fox" in childhood.
at that time, i play 'ultimate version' of TTF.
but though i'm looking for this version during some day, i fail.
in this version, fox and enimy has no collision and infinite health.
do you know this?
would you make the trainer of this version?
with no trainer, this game is so difficult that i can't one level..
please take the consideration..
thanks

Damn, it's hard to believe that actually someone has made such site about this platform game :D And thit it's still active! I remember playing this game like 15-16 years ago, when I was about 7y old. I tried to pass it countless times, I knew all levels by heart, though it was implossible for me to beat boss at level 3. Several years later I came across this game once again and made it to level 5. Now I don't really find playing Titus the Fox entertaining, but still I respect that game. Games were pretty difficult back then!

TTF is based on Les aventures de Moktar game, and this is a well known fact. Actually those two games are the same, except lack of level 15 in ttf, sound "lagaf" replaced with bell sound and with some minor changes with graphics and music. Moktar is based on Lagaf' videoclip "La Zoubida", in that clip we can clearly see some ingame graphics, probably from beta version. Does anyone know something about those animations used in videoclip? Are they actual footage from early version of the game? Maybe someone has access to beta version of Moktar, or at least only those beta graphics? It would be very interesting to see how this game was supposed to look like at the beginning of the creation, and how it ended.
I was playing Moktar 10-15 years ago on A600. When I played PC version I hated it for terrible scrolling (or lack of scrolling at all).
I'm sorry for my English, it's not my native language:)

what is main changes in TITUS FOX (1992 ver) and MOKTAR (1991 ver) ????
Reply by Math on Wed Sep 19 20:44:36 2012 - [Reply][Permalink]
Main changes between those games are:
Graphics (some enemies sprites, eg black guys in level 3 are replaced by white),
Music (different music for level 9 and 11)
Sounds (different "bonus" sound)
Lack of level 13 and 15 in TTF (In TTF level 15 is just a cutscene, in Moktar it is regular level, very small, but it is still possible to die there)

Hi Eric ;
This is my second comment in this site...
I just wanted to say that your game has been the best game I've ever seen in my life, as one said in this guest book, "Game of my life", I think that the team has been the most intelligent and talented one,As the other guy mentioned in the guest book I started this game when I was about 12-14 years old , and now I'm 25 years old...finishing my M.Sc and applying for Ph.D but yet playing this game(Still can't pass the 9th level!!! :) )...
Lots of things makes me wonder through this game: things that were designed to be used once(like the skull bone at the end of the 8th level), the very beautiful graphics with the lowest volume of files for that time (and even now!),and also how very mysterious is the game, the secret places, and the multi-choices you've got to end a level , ways that one could never see ,well, thanks to Jesse and Reactor I saw some that I hadn't seen,the way that each level has its own characteristics,each level is in a different media,I even like the way the enemies !!!...especially the old men who throw the T.V s(when thy die!!!)...Last thing to blow my mind is the beautiful music with eastern (or Egyptian) theme...
Don't you have any site, I'd like to know if you've made any other games,and also know abut yourself(How a human could be such creative!)...

Boring as a game to play (pre2 is much better). But good for learning programming and so-called reverse engineering. While Tech Help talmud was a theory, browsing the TTF game code to see how stuff works was a practice. Being a child, I did not play TTF much, but spent a lot of time with it in a debugger. I started with removing functions from main loop to see what stops working. Then I investigated each function to see how the compression work, how level image is generated and scrolled, how clipping works, how enemies are driven, etc. I even had a map of game code in my memory and could tell what function does by its address, or at least which block of code it belongs.
It was an economical mess in russian at 90's, with a lot of gangsters, shootings, robberies, etc. around. Computers were expensive and not wide spread. No one cared about copyright and even knew what does it mean. All software was distributed on floppies, by BBS, and on CD-ROMS like "1000 best programs for your computer" selling everywhere just as being totally legal.
I knew I could learn programming, but I studied physics, because I liked it too. I thought programming is not a perpective profession: soon a lot of powerful programs with every function people may need will be written, a lot of programming libraries will be designed, programming will become easier than assemblying LEGO, will be quick to learn, and will not bring much money. Besides, better portable memory and faster networks will make them hardly possible to sell before someone cracks the copy protection and spread it all over the world for free.
I was correct in everything but one: programming still brings good money.
The truth turned out too simple to believe being a child: people are animals, animals are to eat each other and compete according to Darwin's theory. Capitalism is based on robbery and deception, this is why it suits the people society so good. It allows its "slaves" to have only money hardly enough to just survive, taking surplus value, and you have to violate the law constantly to trick this system and become more than a slave. Many of that gangsters robbing and killing people here in 90's (those of them which were not killed themselves) became oligarhs, they control the economy and government now, they are rich, everyone respect them. They don't kill and rob anymore -- now they use more thin capitalistic mechanisms to enslave people. The next generation will never suspect this respected people made themselves by robbing and killing. They will just think these people are a little more lucky, clever and hardworking, and deserve being masters.
The good way to trick the system is... to become a programmer, to live in an insane world of 100 billion worth blog sites... for a while... until this bubble collapses, again and finally.
If you check the Forbe's list of billionaries, you may find some programmers their, but hardly even a single physicist. I damn the day I went to university. You may trick the system by being a programmer, but not by being a scientist. Besides, the same darwinism here: to attract grants and sponsorship, people overrate their research and even juggle with research results, producing nonsense. I plan to leave this madness as soon as I complete PhD.
I don't know where to go. I could, finally, become a programmer. But learning modern programming from a scratch being 30 years old is not as easy as 20 years ago. I'm good in reverse engineering them, but not in writing. It was a good underworking when I was a student, and madness of 90's didn't dissolve yet, so, I practiced a lot, breaking copy-protection and such for companies that reselled software. But now, this skill is not relevant any more. And will not help me become programmer. Besides, it would be a shame to be mastered by younger people that already made themselves, by throwing high school and start practicing, while I wasted time on university, with those boring math, physics and other things, and, then, computational modelling. I should have done the same thing in high-school. Now, this way is not for me.
Failed to conquer a place under sunlight, I will try shadows. Like, say, spamming, carding, ddosing and other things. I need to browse hacker forums to look at innovations wave in hacking. Besides, this leaves the place for reverse-engineering skills I already have. Yeah, this is what i'll start to do when done with my PhD. I'll start by creating a soft of modern virus, with p2p connectivity and old forgotten tricks like polymorphism, to create a botnet. Then.. I'll see hot to make it a weapon agains other animals that I have to compete.Reply by Artwark on Fri Oct 19 16:20:00 2012 - [Reply][Permalink]

After I got healed my brother and I figured out how to run the game. we got it running and we played it till we got stuck with the woodcutter. After 12 years I made an attempt to start from where I stopped and I finally beaten that wood cutter as well as finishing the game.

Hello, guys.
I'm a big fan of many old games from Titus, especially created by great Eric Zmiro! I have a license CD-ROM "10 Awesome Games from Titus" and it works fine from there, but i'm tired to use mu old 486 PC and put CD-ROM in drive every time i want to play one game.
In addition, there are some related troubles when i try to run games on my new PC using DOSBox or other emulators (CD-ROM launcher hangs-up in DOSBox in mail menu) or there is an error "only from CD-ROM" (game think i run games not from CD-ROM, but from HDD).
All main games' executables on that CD-ROM packed/encrypted in *.SQZ files using some exclusive tool hypothetical named "Eric Zmiro (un)cruncher (exec code IV)" (i thint they are NOT in real SQZ format, just encrypted and renamed to *.SQZ EXE files.
So, can anybody know how to unpack\decrypt main executables from each game?
Perhaps, somebody knows how to do it or rnjw where to get this tool or other tool "Eric Zmiro's Best Protection Kit", used by "The Humble Guys!" to crack some Titus games (not sure it helps, but may be).
Please undestood me correct: I AM an owner of ORIGINAL LICENSED CD-ROM and just wand to enjoy MY games from THIS CD, but without this damn protection. There is no problem to copy this CD-ROM to CD-R or to ISO-image, so it's not why i need to remove this protection.
I know, i CAN download cracked (unprotected) versions of these games, but i don't like it, i want to PLAY MY versions, but WITHOUT CD-ROM.
I saw the great Eric Zmiro was here, may be Eric help me?
Guys, please help me!!!

Best Protection Kit was what Eric called his protection. He released it in several versions, and released one half baked one that had weak encryption, and then the unsqz engine in the .exe file. I was able to pull out the sqz code into my own tool, and use it to just unpack his stuff from then on. That tool would be 15 years old now, and I no longer have it, but I figured you might want to know the story.Reply by Fabulous Furlough/THG on Sat Feb 23 20:16:17 2008 - [Reply][Permalink]
Thinking back on this, I think the game with the "half baked" version of the protection was around the time of "Crazy Cars", or "The Blues Brothers". If all else fails, just grab all the Titus games you can, and look through the protection code. Eventually you'll find the SQZ unpacking code, and you can do what I did to make an unpacker.Reply by Rocco on Fri May 16 06:36:35 2008 - [Reply][Permalink]

This game is really obscure and looks really cool and well made, it's kinda weird and very interesting that there's still a fanbase for this game that studies the game's complexity. Why don't you try to contact the producers of the original game or something? I think it would be interesting, you could say about this site. Maybe you could even try to encourage them to make a new game, 3DS has a really open space for indie game producers, I know Titus because I really liked their Xena game for GBC (but I was the only one, everyone else I knew didn't liked it), and it's always sad for me to see a gaming industry fail.. Serious, try to contact them or something, a Titus revival would be cool.

I've contacted the original game's developers quite some time ago, which was very helpful in figuring out the game's level file format, and allowed MTF to be created :-). It would have been much more difficult to do so otherwise. Some of the developers also commented on this guestbook.
Titus is long gone, but no worries! Several people from the team behind TTF/Moktar are still involved in the gaming industry. For instance, Eric ZMIRO (the game's IBM engineer) founded Magic Pockets, which has developed quite a few games (also several on 3DS), and Florent MOREAU (the game designer) is now marketing director at Square Enix.

I just finished the game again :) I used to play it a lot in the early 90s, it was an amazing game.
btw do you know that you can even grab some enemies and then used them to kill another enemies? i didn't see that info on this page..
anyway for sure you can grab the walking enemy from level 1 (the first one you can meet in this game), the bee, walking skeleton (level5) and the arabic guy with the sword (level 10). you can grab them from behind - but be careful, if you are too close, then they will hit you..
Reply by miso on Thu Oct 3 11:22:50 2013 - [Reply][Permalink]
and one more thing from my side:
you can even kill the boss in level 5 without using the two boxes. you can grab the boss from behind - if you succeed, then you hold a copy of the boss in your hand. you can throw it quickly to the original boss and runaway to the elevator. you need to do this 3 or 4 times (don't remember) and it's gone :)
the easiest way is to wait on the elevator (on the right side of the screen), until the boss starts to walk to the left side. then quickly get behind, grab the copy, throw and runaway to the elevator.. it's quite fun.. good luck :)Reply by Jesses on Wed Jul 16 20:39:20 2014 - [Reply][Permalink]
Awesome! I knew of the picking-up-enemies trick, but not that it also works on the level 5 boss :) I'll add the info to the page somewhere.
There is another trick (probably a bug) that allows you to jump very high, when you are hit by a projectile while at the same time something falls on your head...

Added by Cosmo on Thu May 4 11:18:34 2017 - [Reply][Permalink]
Jesses, fabulous job mate! And THE most fabulous job are the maps, secrets and so can be found over the net, but the maps are GOLD.
Like the stories of the Lucases above, I too started playing as a kid, 12 or so, and got stuck at the 3rd level (i did not know how to pick things, and you can't jump the boss :) at about 13 I found out how to pick things but got stuck at lvl 7, too difficult. 15 years later I picked it up and played until I finished it, some www guidance here and there, and a lot of training.
And now I am playing it again, full run every time, from level one to as far as I can go in one sitting, stacking up lives for the 8 - 10 levels, especially the level 9 insanity on wheels :)
Here are some tips I did not find in the secrets or walkthrough sections, that the fans of this great game might find useful:
- level 5, you can get all the bonuses in both paths, but to do so, you have to kill yourself at one point, and start over. I believe the upper route is easier, so a good choice can be you go all the way to the pit with 2 bees, drop, keep left to enter niche and get 30 bonuses, then F1, restart and play the upper route as usual. The balance is 2 extra lives, i.e. two extra level 9 attempts :)
- level 6, you can skip all the final tedious scaffold descent, and miss out on just a few bonuses, but save a lot of time. After the area with 6 bonuses and 2 cats, you go down to a floor with 2 boxes, which ends to the right with a ladder (not spikes like all the rest of the floors). You can make a massive jump to the right and to the end of the level from there, either stack up the boxes, or if you have the skateboard/ball with you, jump on them and make an ever clearer leap to the end of the level.
- the boss on level 7 (i really liked the "aunt olga" suggestion) is the easiest boss in the game (and the easiest enemy on level 7). All you have to do is to get as close as needed to see her (in part or in full) and stay as far as needed for her not to shoot at you. There is an optimal area for this, and once you find it, jump and throw, duck and catch, rinse repeat, no headaches. Accidentally (and illogically) some balls or melons or whatever they are might come from the left, but for the rest of the time, it is a walk in the park.
Cheers again and thanks and congrats,
Cosmo

The maps certainly help with finding some sneaky secrets, you should give the level viewer (mtf) a try for even more discoveries :-)
Now I am challenged to reach the level3 boss empty-handed! Like you I got stuck on an earlier level back in the day (level 5 in my case), but eventually decided to attack the game again and see what happened. Yep, level5 is peanuts compared to the glorious death trap at the end of level 9...
Thanks for your tips, I have added them on the Secrets page!

Hey Jesse, great website.
Would love if you emailed me. I there is currently a lot of movement in the speedrunning scene and TAS (tool assisted speedrun) scene.
Would like to discuss with you and then we can post up some videos and ideas soon (I would say now but things are still developing).

Hi Jesses. I've just uploaded a new level. Its a remake of the 1st level of Blues Brothers :D
Do you know any tools for editing other Titus games?
Are you still working on this level editor or is pretty much finished?
Reply by Jesses on Tue Oct 13 20:29:18 2015 - [Reply][Permalink]
Hi DrejjZ, amazing remake! Did you use some file-hacking way to do the initial conversion, or is the whole level manually entered in the editor? The double bosses are too evil, I died after ~140 hits to the rapid-fire guy near the exit :-(.
There is an editor for pre2 available by Dorten, see here (boot up your Russian skills first): http://www.old-games.ru/forum/threads/prehistorik-2-redaktor-urovnej.24258/
I'm not aware of editors for other Titus games though. Good resources for old games in general though are http://www.shikadi.net/moddingwiki/Main_Page and http://sfprod.shikadi.net/, although at the time of posting the server seems to be down.
I still have plans for a version 3.0 of the MTF editor, rewritten in open-sourced c++ or so to make development easier and enjoy cross-platformness (turns out 8086 assembly isn't very portable). But too busy with other stuff as always! One day...Reply by DrejjZ on Tue Oct 13 22:31:13 2015 - [Reply][Permalink]
I used a program from retrospec to get the tileset, but the level itself was manually entered in the editor.
There used to be 3 bosses! But even I couldnt finish the map. Also the bees in the clouds were harder (using AI from the jumping fish).
It would be awesome if the editor could launch "campaings" of levels, one after the other.
:( I'll try to reproduce other levels from BBrothers when I get time. Sadly there is no water in TTF/Moktar, so it wont be a 100% perfect remake.
The games are similar enough as to be based of the same engine, is that so?Reply by Jesses on Wed Oct 14 17:50:19 2015 - [Reply][Permalink]
Hmm, you might be able to get the basic level layout from the BBrothers levels as a starting point. I don't know about their file format, but chances are they're compressed using the same algorithm as TTF. So, you could try to unpack the BB levels with the script in "tech docs". Then create a level in MTF with the same height, save it, and replace the first 256*height bytes with those in the unpacked BB level.
Being able to play "level sets" is indeed one of the planned features for the next MTF release, along with an easy way to launch them via command-line parameter.
TTF/Moktar does have a weird floaty-behaving tile when you apply certain "ladder" properties, but I think you already used it in your level :-)Reply by Robert on Tue Mar 8 00:27:58 2016 - [Reply][Permalink]
Your level is awesome! If you're still planning to make the other BB levels then for sure I'll test them gladly, I think that, if you do this, then it would be nicer if you quit some of the enemies like the big woman who throw balls, so it looks more like BB. It's just an idea. Anyway, thanks for your creation!Reply by Eirik on Sun Jul 2 20:03:54 2017 - [Reply][Permalink]
I made a level viewer for Blues Brothers some years ago, if that may be of interest. https://sourceforge.net/projects/opentitus/files/blues_brothers/

Great work Eric Zmiro! Greetings from Argentina. When we were preteens back in the early nineties, after learning with Logo, we would play Hangman and Titus The Fox, i remember the shortcut to the roof in the first level, the catchy music and the drunkards who always killed me and my classmates when attempting to go through. I found this site asking how was the game programmed and in which language, i assume its C. The last time i played the game i reached level 7 but no more than that, i got stuck in a coal mine or such, the level with the mine carts and tracks. Logo was boring, we spent more time playing Titus than making the turtle go forward, we should have been learning MS-DOS commands but the teachers were not up to date!. Greetings to all the programmers of this beautiful game, you left a mark in our hearts. Good work.

Hello,
I found a trick to bypass a great part of Level 10 (Private Desert - Désert privé) and didn't see it reading Titus the Fox WebSite information. You have to keep 2 items (taken from scaffholding part and I used it to kill the 2 white sword soldiers) to put down on slope of the rocky spike, which separates the 2 wells. After climbing the rocky spike, you just have to go right to the end of level ;-)
I hope it will help everyone to get Titus adventure a little bit easier (i know you will appreciate it)
Jean-Louis

This one that I've found here in this site is working, thank you! (:

Hello sir,
Titus the fox has always been my favorite game .first seen on a friends msdos 386 and later i got it for my amstrad 6128 plus model.The original game for the amstrad is very well made but it is made for the older 6128 model.
i would like to ask you if i can use your sprites and backgrounds to try to make a remake of the game for the plus amstrad models.Thank you .
Reply by Jesses on Sat Jun 1 19:53:23 2019 - [Reply][Permalink]
Hi Dimitris,
Of course you may use my backgrounds/sprites for a remake! I guess you'll want to use the backgrounds in tile-format though, they use much less resources that way. And you'll need to know some metadata, i.e. on which tiles you can stand.
If your intention is to make the remake look similar to the dos version, it may be easier to just directly use the dos version's data files. See the tech docs for a description. That may also be safer from a legal point of view (I think Interplay still has the rights to this game).
And, not sure how compile-able it is for the 6128+, but maybe OpenTitus can be a good starting point. If not, at least it is a good reference for game logic and reading the data files :-)

Hi! Could you please tell me which copy protection method was used by Titus for floppy disks? I looked into a few dumps and noticed "A001prot" and "Megaprot" in the last sectors. Is that what this protection is called or is there another name for it? Please, email me the response if possible.

I bought the Steam version of the game, and both TTF and Moktar have a level LEVELD.SQZ which I find no references to anywhere. Does anyone know anything about this level? I don't think they will be loaded by the original game or OpenTitus...
Reply by twinzen on Thu Jul 15 09:41:31 2021 - [Reply][Permalink]
To clarify, it is a proper level file and can be loaded by OpenTitus, but will not be used by default - as it is not referenced in the default level configuration file.Reply by Jesses on Thu Jul 15 10:25:23 2021 - [Reply][Permalink]
That's probably the level from the demo (if it has CRC32=74f0946d).

Thanks so much for this site! This is amazing! I admittedly got most of the secrets by spending 5 hours a day as a kid playing it though I never got the shortcut of level 8.
I remember playing level 8 + 9. I've spent years searching for the lamp on level 9, sounds funny to find out there's no lamp. The top spikes before the boss on level 9 would usually get me 9/10 times.
Would love to contribute (via $$ or developing) if there is a project for a FoxV2 batch of levels! (Maybe another visit to Marrakech and Back!)

Yeah, my time budget for TTF is severely limited these days 🤣
Luckily it's always possible to make some time for it!
Either way, I added a link to Visual Titus in the Links page, so hopefully that helps with promotion.
@Ike: definitely go and have a look at vtitus! And in the meantime, check out the NEW LEVELS - it's not quite a coherent FoxV2 set, but there are several very nice and challenging levels in there.

Nice to see I'm not the only one still playing this game. Since I'm not taking the shortcuts, I find level 8 absolutely brutal. How do you get past the long pool with the moving platform and the fish jumping at you (and throwing you into the water)? It's shortly after the pool with the fish + fly and the ladder.
Reply by Vulpes on Sat Feb 13 17:20:17 2016 - [Reply][Permalink]
I figured out how to get past the pool: Wait until the moving platform is close without the fish being there. Jump on the moving platform, then anticipate the fish jumping at you and jump accordingly to avoid it. Afterwards position yourself at the right end of the moving platform and memorize the spot where the moving platform turns around in order to time your jump right. Then you (barely) make it to the other side. There is some gimmick with two boxes and a spring (the spring seems unnecessary?) and afterwards another room with a hobo that shoots really fast and boxes that need to be placed correctly in order to crawl forward, but that scene is not too difficult. However, the following jump - jumping onto the ladder while avoiding the fish - and the jumps on the slippery platforms seem really difficult. Is there a jumping technique that avoids sliding down after landing on a slippery platform?Reply by ike on Tue Sep 14 21:35:18 2021 - [Reply][Permalink]
Yeah I did it this way when I was a kid for years. It's a sure way to lose lives, but there's actually an easier way, between the moving platform and the ledge there's 2 hidden tiles that you can stand on. You discover them by jumping on them.

Hello. I want to talk about your secret from Quiet Walk. It works a little differently. If you press down and press up at the same time to make the Fox jump, he will go into stealth mode when he lands. This can be seen from the animation of the character, in this form, until we release to the left or to the right, he moves and sleeping dogs and all similar enemies do not hear him. It works until you hit them or stop, you can try to jump over them in the same way.

I discovered a secret path on level 9 that I don't see mentioned anywhere. Im wondering if anyone has explored it.
After you get to the 6 balls place, take the balls and go back left. Start throwing the balls the way you came. The first 3 will get stuck on the small crouch area. The 4-6 will go all the way through to the bottom of the area where you got the vases.
Take one of the balls and put at the bottom left of this area. Crouch on top of the ball and crawl left to open up a secret crawl path that goes underneath the spikes. Try to "uncrawl" on each block and you'll come to a block that is open in the middle under the spikes.
Unfortunately this is all I've found. Im wondering if someone has explored this area.
