Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding.... The GameParameters.pis file had a header containing the file name, and I notice...

Merlin Books

The season 3 ender episode of The Adventures of Merlin went on air a few hours ago. I haven't seen the episode yet, as I am waiting for my sister to wake up so we can watch it together.... but I am really, really excited!

Though I can't wait to watch this season's last episode, I'm a bit sad because the next season of Merlin won't be aired until 2012.

To tide me and my sister over till the next season, we vowed to collect all of The Adventures of Merlin books! Haha!

We found a lot of sellers on ebay selling the books at a fair price with a minimal shipping fee, but we got really lucky with this seller (Goldstone Books) as we purchased two hardbound Merlin books (The Dragon's Call and The Mark of Nimueh), one Merlin paperback (Merlin: Potions and Poison), and one paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, all for GBP 16.61 (P&P included).

L-R: The Dragon's Call, Potions and Poison, The Mark of Nimueh. LOTR book not shown

We got the books delivered on our doorstep ten days after making the payment, which was fast since from our experience, it takes around two weeks for international orders to arrive. All the books are in perfect condition, except for Merlin: Potions and Poison with a creased cover, but I'm not really complaining.

So far, I've only read The Dragon's Call and I'm quite pleased with it. I don't plan on reading the other Merlin books until I've finished reading the stack of unread books that I've accumulated over the years so.....


I better start reading.
