[08:36] <grogbot> [discord] <maht1265> Ok so I just tried the latest daily and the broken sword issue is fixed! thanks for that
[08:36] <grogbot> [discord] <maht1265> i also tested the 11th hour but the issue remains. everything seems to work, except the in game video is laggy and unwatchable. interestingly the opening video works fine, its just the in game video you can play from the gamebook. attached is a video showing the issue and a save file

[13:24] <grogbot> [discord] <maht1265> also for Blade Runner with restored content can I request a menu option to disable the "still under development" warning on every start? I know I can edit the .ini file manually but it would be more convenient to have a specific game menu option.
[13:43] <grogbot> [discord] <dwa> Cool, thanks for the PS3 test
[13:43] <grogbot> [discord] <dwa> For 11th hour I guess our PS3 port is not optimized for video rendering there. We could document the issue on the bug tracker, but Im not sure anyones working on optimizing the PS3 port at the moment

[13:45] <grogbot> [discord] <dwa> For this, please create a feature request on https://bugs.scummvm.org
[13:45] <grogbot> [discord] <dwa> thanks!

[16:03] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> Would it be possible to try out this patch to see if it helps on the PS3? https://github.com/ccawley2011/scummvm/commit/3fa78c626da35f22810706ff395a3bc4536c9342
[16:04] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> It should in theory reduce the amount of pixel format conversion that needs to be done on each frame.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> For my Screenshot Friday, no screenshot 😮
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> That said, I'm still making progress on RTMI 🐒 .
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> After struggling for quite a while with the virtual machine and getting the objects to display in the right places, I decided to move on to something else so I wouldn't give up on the whole project.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> So I decided to tackle building a Dinky script compiler not just for fun (well, maybe a little), but because Id need it anyway to run Dinky code embedded in the Yack code (the code used for in-game conversations).
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> It could also be useful for me when debugging the virtual machine; the ultimate goal would even be to be able to create a decompiler.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> To test my compiler (which is currently under development), I'm also creating a tool to generate .ggpack files that are compatible with the original game.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> In short, I'm at a point where my to-do list seems to be getting longer rather than shorter.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> However, its very rewarding; I even discovered that when the virtual machine is running, it performs a few optimizations. For example, when it calls a native function, it looks up the function by its name; once found, it modifies the bytecode, hard-coding the index of the function into that code so that the next time it runs, it can directly execute the native function located at a specific index.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> I guess it's a pretty standard way of doing things, but I like it.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> So my next step is to get a "hello world" to run from the original game using a ggpack I created from scratch.
[16:17] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> To be continued...

[17:14] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> @scemino I wonder, do you use recursve descent or LALR parser? Are ASTs involved?
[17:23] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> I wrote a LALR parser that generates an AST, and from that AST I generate the bytecode.
[17:23] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> flex/bison?
[17:24] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> or ANTLR?

[18:20] <Scummette> scummvm/master 2d20aac neuromancer: FREESCAPE: parse indicators in driller atari
[18:32] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> For my screenshot Friday, I had small fixes in the UI here and there in Amiga/AtariST release for Driller and Dark Side (which have a lot of cool details here and there) as well as the implementation of pulsating surfaces that were an exclusive feature for the freescape engine in such platforms. Also finally added the heartbeat effect in Total Eclipse, which gives the game its eerie atmosphere.

[19:14] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> The original game use bison. I prefer to write my own, that's easier for me to debug.
[19:25] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> We have an executable with lots of function names and debug info, are you using that by any chance? It could make your life considerably easier 😁
[19:38] <grogbot> [discord] <scemino> Yes, thank you, I'm aware of that. Unfortunately, I'm really bad at reverse engineering; I occasionally look at certain functions to help me, but it's not my strong suit.
[20:02] <grogbot> [discord] <sir.squeezes> the only slow part of the 7th guest on scummVM for the new 3ds apears to be the cake puzzle for some reason
