TriAevum — Echoes of Time & Moonfall Curse
TriAevum is the engine and project behind two native PC recompilations:
Echoes of Time, bringing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D to PC,
and Moonfall Curse, bringing The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D to
the same engine. They share a modern NRI/Vulkan renderer, with lighting,
shadows and customizable graphics, and each has its own single-screen
interface, package and Forge.
One game was apparently not enough to keep me occupied.
Two games
| Game | Current release | Bring your own dump |
|---|
| Echoes of Time — Ocarina of Time 3D on PC | v0.8.0-beta.2, a beta | Your own decrypted Ocarina of Time 3D dump. EUR and USA, original or Rev 1, are supported inputs; Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese releases are not supported yet. |
| Moonfall Curse — Majora's Mask 3D on PC | v0.5.0-alpha.1, the first alpha | Your own decrypted EUROPEAN Majora's Mask 3D dump, CTR-P-AJRP. Other regions are not supported yet. |
Download the package for the game you want from its release page:
| Platform | Echoes of Time | Moonfall Curse |
|---|
| Windows x64 | TriAevum-v0.8.0-beta.2-Windows-x64.zip | Moonfall_Curse-v0.5.0-alpha.1-Windows-x64.zip |
| Linux x86-64 AppImage | TriAevum-v0.8.0-beta.2-Linux-x86_64.AppImage | Moonfall_Curse-v0.5.0-alpha.1-Linux-x86_64.AppImage |
| Linux x86-64 Flatpak | TriAevum-v0.8.0-beta.2-Linux-x86_64.flatpak | Moonfall_Curse-v0.5.0-alpha.1-Linux-x86_64.flatpak |
Both are pre-releases. Back up your saves and read the release notes before
assuming something is a feature. No ROMs, game data or game assets are
distributed; you supply your own dump.
Credit Where It Belongs
Before the shaders, settings and excessive grass: Echoes of Time would not exist in
its current form without TopScreen, now SingleScreen,
developed by rlgcarrot. Its single-screen experience is reimplemented here for
this runtime, but the vision, care and tremendous work behind it deserve a
special thank-you. Please consider buying rlgcarrot a coffee
to support that fantastic work.
The Echoes of Time HD interface comes from OoT3D Vanilla UI/HUD
by chubbycubby, which Forge downloads for your game's language with your
consent, and the file selection follows the single-screen design of
Ocarina Reframed by OTPR26.
The ambient occlusion that makes the grass look like it belongs to the ground
is MXAO from iMMERSE by
Pascal Gilcher (Marty's Mods), integrated and
adapted with his explicit permission. Thank you for lending TriAevum a piece
of work that took years to get this good.
Just as essential are Azahar, Ship of Harkinian, libultraship, NVIDIA NRI,
and the SDL controller-mapping community. And, of course, Nintendo and
Grezzo, who created the original games. Full credits and licenses.
Echoes of Time's Forge can also apply an optional mod on your machine:
Vanilla+ - Link Remodel And HD Item Models
by HugAMuffin (testing by Fado, M-1 and seiunsky_1084; tooling by Jameriquiah).
TriAevum does not distribute it: Forge downloads the author's original archive
when you turn it on (details).
Separately licensed material. These three parts are not covered by
TriAevum's GPL and keep their authors' terms:
- iMMERSE / MXAO (Pascal Gilcher): "All rights reserved". The module is
built as its own library, shipped beside the runtime, and TriAevum uses it
under a permission granted to this project only. That permission does not
pass to forks, recipients or other projects; redistribute TriAevum without
the module unless the author has given you his own. See
LICENSE_SCOPE.md and the
module's
LICENSE-iMMERSE.txt.
- OoT3D Vanilla UI/HUD (chubbycubby): CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Packages contain none of its files; Forge downloads the author's original
archive from GameBanana on your request and keeps it in your private data
folder. See LICENSES/OoT3D-Vanilla-UI-HUD.md.
- Vanilla+ - Link Remodel And HD Item Models (HugAMuffin): CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Same arrangement: downloaded from GameBanana only when you turn it on, never
redistributed by TriAevum. See LICENSES/Vanilla-Plus-Link-Remodel.md.
Moonfall Curse's additional credits and licences are listed below.
About
Echoes of Time is an AOT recomp in the same general spirit as the Xbox 360 recomp
projects. Moonfall Curse is the second game on that engine. I just ended up
spending most of my time on the renderer instead of, you know, actually
playing the games. The goal is to push the visuals further without completely
losing the original look.
Development of this project is entirely AI-assisted, under human direction.
That describes the TriAevum-specific work, not the mature donor projects and
libraries it builds on: Azahar, Ship of Harkinian, NRI and others. Aside from
those foundations, you could fairly call this concentrated AI slop.
Apparently, even AI slop can still consume several months of your life.
Install
The user guide covers preparation, updating, backups,
uninstalling and Forge's messages. For Moonfall Curse's input requirements
and setup, see Playing Moonfall Curse.
