Which do you mean by the "splash screens"? There are the screen in title.cpp, for example v25_titlescreen(), DX_titlescreen(), NES_titlescreen(), etc. There's also the AGN logo screen in aglogo.cpp.

Some of it is hard-coded, but some of it is inside zelda.dat.
So.... zelda.dat is not included with the package, nor is it generated by it. That essentially means that the present distribution is technically incomplete? I expected there to be source bitmap files, from which the src packaged generated the .dat files, including the quest default, but I never really checked before.
Now that I'm going through the libs and other binaries, I'm noting a lot of missing components.
Whatever is used to generate the .dat files would be a useful addition, but that's a matter for another topic. We're also wholly missing the zlaunch code, although I seem to recall that it belongs to someone else; and that we sought, and may've been granted permission to distribute it (?).
The Z1 title scroll code, is interesting enough though. It would be possible for me to make an 'FDS' version of ZC itself, at some point, with very little extra work, other than the quest file. Then again, I have no idea how ag4 would render non-ASCII characters in the strings.

Gleeok explained to me that the .dat files are not included because they contain copyrighted content. Which makes sense. You'll need to download them from the release .zips.
That's what I've been doing, but I need to know how the .dat files are constructed. They're binaries, which means that the content--I presume this is the music, and the tiles?--is embedded into a single file with some kind of wrapper.
@Gleeok @Saffith @Grayswandir @Dimentio
We should just make a non-infringing set of files, to replace them with the open source package, and include everything that a person needs to compile and run the output. I would be happy to work on that.
P.S. Technically, title.cpp contains infringing, copyrighted content, too.

We just use the allegro grabber utility: https://www.allegro.cc/depot/Grabber/ ...Although I can't remember what the passwords are offhand. Do they even need to be encrypted any more?
Shit.
This post contains the official Gleeok seal of approval. Look for these and other posts in an area near you.
Ok, that would be useful, but it sounds like a lot of work. In addition to the splash screens there are the 1st through 5th quests, the sound effects and music files, the default tilesets, etc etc.We should just make a non-infringing set of files, to replace them with the open source package, and include everything that a person needs to compile and run the output. I would be happy to work on that.
Precisely. We have Koten now, and the creator effectively made it specifically for this type of application. Non-infringing sound effects might be a problem. I'll need to consult with some sound libraries to look for things to use, but over the next few months, I think that I could manage to complete a full set of non-infringing packages.
@Gleeok : Just throw out the password protection on included content.
