[08:08] #scummvm: mode change '+o sev' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.libera.chat
[09:32] <grogbot> [discord] <janezkranjc> I am working on this in my spare time as a hobby. I am guessing it will never get merged into ScummVM, but when I'm done I'm gonna release it on github
[09:34] <grogbot> [discord] <mgerhardy> maybe not screenshot friday anymore - but video monday: https://youtu.be/pLSMhg1MkTg - the holomap models and rotations are fixed now (edited)
[09:35] Last message repeated 1 time(s).
[10:02] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> What channel is appropriate to discuss if a game, or family of games is appropriate for ScummVM inclusion& Im especially asking about support for an engine that clearly has both in-genre and out of genre (arcade) titles.
[10:03] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> What channel is appropriate to discuss if a game, or family of games is appropriate for ScummVM inclusion?& Im especially asking about support for an engine that clearly has both in-genre and out of genre (arcade) titles. (edited)
[10:12] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> Generally this kind of discussion takes place in "The Junkyard" section of the ScummVM forums, because it is a form of game request, unless the engine work is already in WIP status (or has been done, or it's open sourced, etc).
[10:12] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> You can bring up the issue here, but as always, even if the genre partially fits ScummVM, there has to be someone investing their free time to do the work
[10:16] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> I think so, but please make sure you read this before: https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/help/faq.html#will-scummvm-support-other-games-in-the-future
[10:22] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> The question is more investigatory& someones willing to do the leg work to try to get the games open sourced, but their ability to be eventually included in ScummVM is part of the persuasive argument why the owner should release the games& so having the determination ahead of time would be very helpful
[10:22] <grogbot> [discord] <bluddy5> It's worth mentioning that both dosbox-staging and DREAMM now support the SC-55 Nuked emulator https://github.com/nukeykt/Nuked-SC55 via a CLAP plugin. This allows for high fidelity SC-55 music emulation that often plays much better than a general-midi solution.
[10:24] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> drop the title
[10:24] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> what is that game? The chances for a support when the original sources are available is like 100x more than when a full reversing is required
[10:25] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> you may DM me if you do not want to say this on public
[10:26] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> also, we have number of engines in half-baked state, e.g. when somebody already started work on reversing, but not yet completed. Having sources in this case is a great boost of speed, so the project could be completed
[10:26] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> Reflexive Velocity engine: Star Trek away team; Lionheart: legacy of the crucader; Zax: the Alien hunter; Ricochet series; wik: fable of souls
[10:27] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> Full disclosure& Im a former developer on several of the titles& but likely under NDA until source code is released.
[10:28] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> so, formally only Lionheart is in the scope, being an RPG
[10:28] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> the first one is a strategy game, the rest seem to be in the Action genre
[10:29] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> They are really all three story based games& the difference is really pacing
[10:29] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> does the engine use DirectX or OpenGL, or no 3D is involved?
[10:30] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> let me DM you
[10:30] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> 2D & direct draw& but all with centralized HAL
[10:31] <grogbot> [discord] <linux_dr> I have a write-up if you really want to read something
[10:31] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> let's discuss it in the DM

[12:10] <grogbot> [discord] <dreammaster> Just found my first hidden dev hack in Dragonsphere. In the castle dungeon, if you "talk to grate", it'll jump you ahead in the game to a cutscene when you're swimming up an underground river as a dolphin. Likely a dev needed a way to get to a cutscene quickly where they couldn't have a handy savegame at that point, so they came up with a hack to get there quickly. And forgot to take it out later 😛
