[01:13] <grogbot_> [discord] <codengine_de> Why is it called macs2 engine? Judging by the games resources, it's Version 1?
[01:13] <grogbot_> [discord] <codengine_de> Im asking because I'm sitting on a port of a v2 game and while researching, I noticed that they have the same ancestry?

[07:52] <grogbot_> [discord] <scemino> 😳 that's too early I didn't finish my work on rtmi.

[09:35] <grogbot_> [discord] <codengine_de> Only which games also use .MCS files. The game that I'm porting has the signature "AHFFMACS0200" written in its MCS file, which let me thing its version 2 in contrast to AHFFMACS0100 for "Silbersee"
[09:36] <grogbot_> [discord] <mgerhardy> cool - i didn't know about any other game using this code - i thought this was built for karl may games - but only one was ever release - which game are we talking about here?
[10:19] <grogbot_> [discord] <bjnfne> Monsterized! uses version 2, it is an unreleased german point and click adventure
[10:26] <grogbot_> [discord] <codengine_de> Yes, I'm working on a port of it - afterwards I'll have a look how much different it is to the "Silbersee" engine - would be interesting
[10:28] <grogbot_> [discord] <codengine_de> Only which games also use .MCS files. The game that I'm porting has the signature "AHFFMACS0200" written in its MCS file, which let me think its version 2 in contrast to AHFFMACS0100 for "Silbersee" (edited)
[10:30] <grogbot_> [discord] <codengine_de> But maybe 01 and 02 just define the resource format and not the interpreter version? 🤷 Anyhow I only could find a signature check, nothing else

[20:41] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> Another Screenshot Friday begins. And it's been another busy week. I originally planned to spend the week on MADS fixing bugs, squashing Coverity reported issues, and doing general cleanup. But I ended up spending the bulk of the time disassembling the Roland MT32 sound drivers and reimplementing them for the three games Rex Nebular, Dragonsphere, and Return of the Phantom. Since each section of each game has it's own driver (thou
[20:41] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> Add to that, Rex Nebular also now has an implementation of the PC Speaker drivers as well, thanks to Tropp. Plus early pre-testing of Rex Nebular has indications that some of the long outstanding bugs have now been fixed, now that Rex is using the updated engine core. Rex Nebular is going to see some solid improvements from this work above and beyond the standardization I was hoping for.
[20:41] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> Apart from that, though, I'm still trying to spend time fixing various outstanding bugs. Over the next week, this will be my focus, along with various janitorial and Coverity fixes. We're getting closer and closer to the point where I can finally announce testing for all four MADS games, finally, after all these years.
[20:41] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> For some screenshots, I'm including a couple from the secret "Quotes" menu item that appears once you've successfully finished Rex Nebular. It gives weird and amusing anecdotes from the game's original developers. Enjoy 🙂

[23:25] <grogbot_> [discord] <codengine_de> Silbersee is not compatible with the windows interpreter out of the box, but I'll have a look where it splits.
