[12:29] <wanwan> hmh, no Strangerke around?
[12:57] --> frankyboy_ joined #scummvm.
[14:34] <grogbot> <sev> He is on Discord
[14:34] <grogbot> <sev> wanwan
[14:37] <wanwan> I can't use it
[14:38] <LePhilousophe> there is the bridge
[14:38] <LePhilousophe> so he reads you here
[14:39] <LePhilousophe> maybe with a @Strangerke to hilight him
[14:39] <grogbot> <rootfather> The "@" are not properly working, since this is done within the Discord client, not by parsing the actual message
[14:39] <LePhilousophe> erf
[14:41] <grogbot> <sev> @Strangerke wanwan is looking for you

[15:34] <grogbot> <somaen> I just got hold of the norwegian release of Freddi Fish, and I note that the subtitles are all in English, is this common for the localized versions (I have yet to attempt to run the original binary though)

[16:28] <Scummette> scummvm/branch-2-3 61424be aquadran: GRIM: Disable monkey 4 and grim remastered
[16:30] <grogbot> <somaen> Presumably some version of it could, otherwise they wouldn't have been created? But I guess perhaps the localized versions had this disabled?
[16:31] <grogbot> <somaen> Can't seem to get freddi.exe to run under Windows 10, and don't currently have a MacOS 9 setup to test on.

[16:40] <eriktorbjorn> aquadran: Maybe that was already the intention, but that commit seems to fix (or at least work around) this Longest Journey bug: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/12879

[16:58] <Scummette> [scummvm] eriktorbjorn opened pull request #3347: COMMON: Don't decompress more bytes than the file specifies (bug 12900) (master...winexe-crash) https://git.io/JuqaL
[17:06] <grogbot> <aquadran> @eriktorbjorn 'opengl renderer' is not completed yet. it's disabled now on release branch
[17:12] <eriktorbjorn> aquadran: Ok. Speaking of renderers, "OpenGL with shaders" places subtitles differently in Grim Fandango. Is that deliberate, or also a case of it not being completed?
[17:14] <eriktorbjorn> aquadran: OpenGL and TinyGL draw them near the speaking actor, while OpenGL with shaders draw them at the bottom of the screen (kind of like how the remastered version does it, I believe).
[17:16] <grogbot> <aquadran> I guess there is some difference in implementation.
[17:18] <eriktorbjorn> aquadran: Back when I filed https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/11898 I had the impression that it was because GfxOpenGLS::getScreenBoundingBox() is an empty function for Grim Fandango, but I don't remember how I came to that conclusion.

[18:55] <grogbot> <somaen> Hmm, that subtitle placement is a bit worse than I remembere
[18:56] <eriktorbjorn> somaen: In Grim Fandango? The screenshots are a bit outdated in that bug report.
[18:57] <grogbot> <somaen> Hmm, getScreenBoundingBox is fully implemented for EFMI, but not for Grim for GfxOpenGLS
[18:57] <grogbot> <somaen> @eriktorbjorn I just tried the Grim demo, as that's what I happened to have on my HD
[19:08] <grogbot> <sev> In the original there is no way to show the subtitles. Those were meant for translators only
[19:10] <-- APic left irc: Read error: Connection reset by peer
[19:10] <eriktorbjorn> sev: I assume that was about Freddi Fish, not Grim Fandango. :-)
[19:10] <grogbot> <sev> yes
[19:11] <grogbot> <somaen> Hmm, just did a quick attempt at fixing the getScreenBoundingBox, by diffing the two functions in the OpenGL backend, which boiled down to 3 lines or so of actual diff, then copying the full code for the EFMI one, and making the same adaptations.
[19:12] <grogbot> <somaen> That improves things a fair bit, the demo is still broken, but that seems to be the same in the OpenGL backend
[19:12] <grogbot> <somaen> So, should probably be a fairly straight forward thing to fix.

[19:17] <Scummette> scummvm/branch-2-3 4cb52e7 eriktorbjorn: COMMON: Don't decompress more bytes than the file specifies (bug 12900)
[19:20] <grogbot> <somaen> @eriktorbjorn Do you mind testing https://github.com/somaen/scummvm/tree/grim_subtitle_fix to see if that fixes things. The branch isn't 100% up to date, but if it ends up fixing the issue I'll rebase and put together a PR
[19:24] <grogbot> <somaen> Interestingly, the clown has his lines delivered at the bottom.

[21:47] <grogbot> <Retrodude> Afaik all Humongous game subtitles were exclusively in English, mostly because past the handful that had MS-DOS releases the subtitles were not mentioned in any official game documentation like manuals and help files. There's indication that they weren't even intended for use after a time too since many later games have subtitles that are incongruous with the actual recorded dialogue or are completely unreadable
[21:50] <grogbot> <Retrodude> In the case of the Japanese versions of Putt-Putt Joins The Parade and Fatty Bear, they left the subtitles in English as a "learning tool" for kids learning the language, alongside the exclusive language selection menu before launching the game
