[06:36] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> Here's my Screenshot Friday entry; the QuickTime 1.0 feature set is complete, so each end every video from the era runs and plays correctly. Now I'm completing the QuickTime 2.12 feature set (which includes multiple sound tracks, midi tracks, text tracks and new codecs).
[06:36] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> But then I thought: I have the entirety of the QT1.0 API set, why shouldn't I attempt to build the original player?
[06:36] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> So there you go 😛 absolutely useless, absolutely charming...
[06:36] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1537711546740768768/image.png?ex=6a8008fa&is=6a7eb77a&hm=a990f0268784214078c55055106727cde74a77061ab2f49ddc0ba24ab8b535bf&
[06:57] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> @oneeighthundred and this one's for you, IIRC, this was one of the Obsidian videos containing dozens of edits on the audio track. Apparently the reason why it works correctly on the original (and on my reimplementation) is because these edits are sound only (the video track has only one edit, the main one), and therefore they get flattened to a continuous data stream. That, and also IMA4 alignment rules, apparently...
[06:57] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1537716884118704128/2026-08-14_08-54-38.mp4?ex=6a800df2&is=6a7ebc72&hm=2cbbab19ae9d3e234a4ef7b2bfde72539d84ca491e208dce52c7744bece864ea&
[07:03] <grogbot> [discord] <oneeighthundred> yeah if you want to check the problematic part then go to the later parts where she says "take take take, that's all you ever do!" So what you're saying is the sound edits don't apply if there's only one video edit or something??
[07:04] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> I did check it, I checked every single possible test video 😉
[07:05] <grogbot> [discord] <oneeighthundred> Anyway is that correct, that it ignores sound edits if there are no video edits? I guess that would explain it, even though it makes no sense whatsoever.
[07:05] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> That's apparently it
[07:05] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> for an edit to be "separated" it seems you need to have both a video edit and a sound edit somewhat corresponding to each other
[07:07] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> or better... if there's space between two edits, and this space is not classified as an empty edit, then it's discarded
[07:07] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> and it gets flattened

[09:26] <Scummette> [scummvm] fusefib opened pull request #7828: TSAGE: Add MIDI support and improve Sound Blaster playback (master...tsage-audio) Error, database insert failed
[10:07] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> And IIRC, qt 2.0 brought qtvr, right?
[10:08] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> That would be 3.0, which is the next objective
[10:09] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> But it will be a longer wait, I still have to finish mapping the playback engine on 3.0 because it's largely rewritten
[10:10] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> I'm aiming at stopping at whichever version is the one needed by our most recent games using QuickTime
[10:11] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> And do you have your code published?
[10:11] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> Not yet
[10:11] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> It will be completely open once I clean it up
[10:12] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> Right now it's nothing more than almost a copy-paste from IDA with an abstraction layer for the WIN16 calls 😁
[10:12] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Actually, it seems to be 2.5: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime#QuickTime_2.x>
[10:13] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> True, but I'm basing it on Windows releases, which didn't have 2.5 and directly went to 3.0
[10:13] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> I don't ever want to look at 68k disassembly for this project 😂

[15:28] <grogbot> [discord] <thebigcore> Since Rebel Assault 1 and 2 are coming to ScummVM, someone might eventually also be interested in https://github.com/neuromancer/wc1-re#wing-commander-source-reconstruction-and-sdl2-port as well once the source code matures.

[15:39] <grogbot> [discord] <ticokh> I waiting something like this a few years ago. Is on a official wc fan page they posted long time ago they actually got all wc source from creators and have plans with that but no other detail.
[15:40] <grogbot> [discord] <thebigcore> Generally speaking, I assume that wc fan page would need to receive permission to release the source code, so without that permission, they cannot do that.

[15:44] <grogbot> [discord] <ticokh> I don't mind if they don't release just release an executable what modernize the old games.

[16:00] <grogbot> [discord] <thebigcore> Oh.
[16:01] <grogbot> [discord] <thebigcore> Oh. Now I know. (edited)
[16:01] <grogbot> [discord] <lephilousophe> Yes 😄
[16:03] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Well, it's a bit outside of what we have already. RA1 and RA2 are rail shooters. It is true that WC games are very story based but still .. 🤔
[16:12] <grogbot> [discord] <thebigcore> If Doom becomes supported by ScummVM, then I suppose anything else can.

[16:45] <grogbot> [discord] <felsqualle.com> Doom would be easy to do since there are so many source ports already. No challenge at all, just use the existing ports.

[16:47] <grogbot> [discord] <felsqualle.com> it just doesn't make sense, and it wouldn't prove anything.
[16:58] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> My particular issue with the WC games is that the point and clicking really doesn't allow you do anything at all, except get information. It feels like a gimmick 😞
