[09:18] <i3> does spqr the empire darkest hour actually start up in the mtropolis engine? Trying to figure out if I need to install it in a VM or just copying over the GAME subdir off the cd was enough and it stops loading because the engine stopped running it at some time
[09:19] <i3> it stops with 'Error: scene steam header was missing'.
[09:47] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> The error comes from here: <https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/4c8395d0832b49a709e66ef7d1695f3edfda7ea8/engines/mtropolis/runtime.cpp#L7891> and the actual wording is `Scene stream header was missing`.
[09:47] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> Other than that, I don't have any hints as of yet on if this is a bug or an unsupported game for the engine.
[09:50] <i3> I mean, it's unstable from the detection.h. But I saw commits referencing parts of the game as if it went further.
[09:50] <i3> I also saw a commit which removed hacks that were specific to this game, so maybe it stopped working when the hacks were removed.
[09:51] <i3> Dunno, it's not like I can build scummvm in android.
[09:52] <i3> https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/f719c001ee85f0fa583c1b8d244e2f3a177f523b
[09:54] <i3> I kinda also want scummvm to support king of the dragon pass one day (it's a mtropolis game too). Although that one is clearly marked unsupported, not unstable like spqr. I suppose it's a much later version of the engine, being released in 1999 and all

[16:57] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> i wonder if i can walk back and find every costume an actor is ever assigned
[16:57] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> then i could group all the lavernes and bernards and stuff
[16:57] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> need an option to supply an alt palette for them too, not actually sure how that;s set up in the engine currently
[17:06] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> maybe it finds actor EGO and recolours them to a palette defined elsewhere when they're in certain rooms
[17:06] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> i think it redefines a certain chunk of the room palette depending on what room they're in and i guess what state laverne's costume is in (edited)

[17:09] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> nice draw order
[17:25] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> actually something that is a bit unclear to me about costumes

[17:46] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> btw i assume talking frames should just be appended to their respective headless standing frames?
[17:47] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> is that like an engine thing instead of storing a body limb in every talking anim?
[17:54] <grogbot> [discord] <neodement> yeah seems it, tentacles have limbs for their body, and the standing sprite that would normally be automatically placed there is set to invisible

[18:30] <i3> got the problem with SQPR... extracting the iso from the android file manager app I'm using (nmm) only extracts a superficial protection file. I don't know if this is a old style copy protection that mangles the file table, but extracting the iso with '7z x' instead first extracted a 1KiB S_6842.MPX then a 551 to overwrite on top. I'm slightly concerned it's still not the complete file... but it boots now.
[18:31] <i3> 551 mb that is. I thought there was something strange when it copied so fast.
[19:04] <i3> I don't know why, but adding in the scummvm gui (not mass adding) the game shows 13 'Unknown level 9 game or version (v3)' and only in the last the game itself. Strangely, the checksums with 'head -c size file | md5sum' and size of the 2 files required are correct so I don't understand why. I suspect doing scummvm -a -p pathtogame will eliminate the false positives. as is kind of normal I found (it's much faster to do scripting to iterate over a top
[19:04] <i3> level of a games dir like this than using the recursive mass add).
[19:05] <i3> the header size I used was 5000 but as the checksums are the same I think I got the right one
[19:09] <i3> unfortunately I can't use scummvm -a -p from the termux command line (I work around it with the import export feature)
