[07:21] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> Project SpaceWeazle is proceeding as planned. Just got my Amiga floppy of Space Station Oblivion (I couldn't find Driller on ebay but I'm happy anyway)
[07:23] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> Since the support for this game is quite well, it will be nice to use it as a first test of my floppy ripping gear. All I need is to place a phone call to a warehouse in California and get myself some high quality floppy drives
[07:27] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> I need to check if the actual reading of Amiga data is implemented, if not this is a great excuse to do it 😁
[07:28] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> I need to check if the actual reading of Amiga data is implemented, if not, this is a great excuse to do it 😁 (edited)
[07:28] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> Fingers crossed for no bitrot! I'm quite confident actually as the seller tested it and rated it as near mint
[07:30] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> I will let you know first thing when I successfully rip the data!
[07:30] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> If you live in th US finding copies of Driller will be hard since it was the European release
[07:32] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> I'm going to do some sleuthing and see if I can find something like eBay for European countries
[07:33] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> Every time I tried to search for "Driller" I would only receive results for "Mr. Driller" which is totally not what I'm looking for
[07:41] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> It seems it is listed as unsupported: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/freescape/detection.cpp#L308-L316
[07:42] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> The data decryption was never complete but I think it was not far from working properly
[07:43] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Also it is unclear if all the releases were encrypted 🤔
[07:43] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> hmmmm
[07:44] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Decryption code is here: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/freescape/games/driller/atari.cpp#L30-L61
[07:45] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> It is listed as Atari St but in fact Amiga releases were almost the same in terms of data files
[07:46] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> A blessing in disguise perhaps? I'll rip the data and keep it for testing purposes, and perhaps I can help with progress in some capacity
[07:46] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> This is great, please ping me when you are ready 😇
[07:47] <grogbot> [discord] <baconicsynergy> of course!

[10:44] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> Hello. I've just built tagged Scummvm 2.9.0 on GNU/Linux (SDL2 2.30.10, Wayland only, no legacy X11), and it seems that setting `GUI Renderer` to `Antialiased renderer` doesn't work anymore: letters are clearly scaled in an uneven way that looks pretty ugly.

[11:40] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> That clearly is not using TTF fonts. What is rendered is our falllback bitmap font, which is good enough as a fallback and was not intended to look nice
[11:40] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Please rerun configure and make sure you see freetype detected

[14:47] <grogbot> [discord] <mdb977> Hi there, I found a bug in Hyperspace Delivery Boy and I can confirm that it is present in the current nightly build. Unfortunately I'm a little confused how to create a bug tracker entry. The prefix of the title should be 'HDB:', correct? Hyperspace Delivery Boy seems not to be in the game list, how to set the other fields?
[14:59] <grogbot> [discord] <geek.ob> This works *amazingly*. Excellent work @alltinker and ScummVM Team!!
[15:09] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> Set the component to `Engine: HDB`. You can use the `HDB:` prefix in the title too (this will probably be done by a developer if you forget it. You don't have to fill in the Game field.
[15:09] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> More important are a descriptive title, and sufficient info in the ticket's description so we can reproduce it.
[15:09] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> Here's some info on what could be useful to include:

[22:48] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> Hey Sev! Thanks for trying to help me with the build.
[22:48] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> I see this during the configuration:
[22:48] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> `Checking for FreeType2... yes`
[22:48] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> So I guess it's detected properly (many other programs use libfreetype on my system).
[22:49] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> Do you also have fonts.dat in the Extra Path in the options?

[22:49] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> However, it's not on the backend list, apparently. Should it be there?

[22:51] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> Hmm, no, I have copied the "themes" directory (needed for the themes to work, which do) and it has a "fonts" subdirectory...
[22:51] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> I though it was the way to go 😄
[22:54] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> @ccawley2011 Ah, that was it! It works if I put "fonts.dat" under the Extra Path! Thanks!
[22:54] <grogbot> [discord] <vanfanel__> BTW, is there a way to have another font for the main menu? Like Topaz or similar 😄
