[11:20] <grogbot> [discord] <rvanlaar> @sluicebox was just talking to an old acquittance. While talking about space quest, he raved about a specific nostalgic feature for Olivettie m21. The 10mb hard disk would shutdown mid game play. A whack on it would make the hard drive spin up again.

[16:25] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> @duffadash welcome!
[16:26] <grogbot> [discord] <duffadash> Hello!
[16:26] <grogbot> [discord] <duffadash> Just realised I should probably join here in case someone needed access to Danish director games at some point 🙂
[16:27] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> oh, indeed, at least for cataloguing purposes
[16:27] --> ny00123 joined #scummvm.
[16:27] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> and if you have some notable titles in mind that need to be working, we could take a look into those
[16:30] <grogbot> [discord] <duffadash> Oh there's a bunch. Specifically from Studio 1-2, Ivanoff Interactive, Savannah and Orfeus.
[16:32] <grogbot> [discord] <duffadash> Thankfully @madmoose_dk is also Danish and familiar with the titles. 🙂

[17:15] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> Are you limited to 99 save files in ScummVM per game?
[17:15] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> Are you limited to 99 manual save files in ScummVM per game? (edited)
[17:16] <grogbot> [discord] <fracturehill> it depends on the engine, 99 is the default number but an engine could set it as high up as 999
[17:17] <grogbot> [discord] <fracturehill> @duffadash feel free to share any obscure director game info in #

[17:26] <Scummette> scummvm/master 3afaca3 athrxx: SCUMM: (DIG) - fix regression
[17:43] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> No way to set it manually?
[17:44] <grogbot> [discord] <fracturehill> not really, the engine's code needs to be able to support that amount of saves
[17:45] <grogbot> [discord] <fracturehill> if you're compiling youself you may have some luck changing the relevant engine's code yourself but i can't guarantee it
[17:46] <grogbot> [discord] <fracturehill> e.g. for the engine i maintain the maximum number of saves is seven because the in-game ui just can't show more than that

[18:52] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Could you describe a scenario when a game requires more than 99 saves?
[18:55] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> It's a bit of a silly idea, but I'm in the process of writing a complete 'route' through King's Quest 6 for the purpose of some informational streams/videos, and for my current/future reference, I had the idea of creating a save after every single significant action (those that give you points), of which there are a dozen or two over 100, it seems
[18:55] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> so that I'd have a very granular way to go to a very specific point in game, if I ever wanted to see or test something
[18:57] <grogbot> [discord] <dreammaster> It's not ideal, but most engines (including the sierra engine, AFAIK) create savegames based on the game Id for a given detection entry. So you could have multiple detection entries for the same game, just with different Ids, and each could have their own set of saves.
[19:00] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> I don't really understand what exactly a "detection entry" is, but from what you say, something like that could be perfect, as the true ideal would be two sets of saves (one much larger than the other, but maybe neither above 100, in this case), for the two main 'paths' in this game. Failing that, I was expecting to need one big chunk of saves that covers both 'paths'
[19:01] <grogbot> [discord] <supsuper> each game entry in scummvm is a "detection entry". so you can add the same game multiple times and they'll each have their own set of saves. you can even rename them to remind yourself which has which saves

[19:08] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> oh, I see...am I able to duplicate an entry, so I don't have to configure the second entry from scratch?
[19:11] <grogbot> [discord] <fracturehill> yes, you just need to locate the scummvm.ini file on your system and copy/paste the entry, changing the [name-in-square-brackets] to something else
[19:11] <grogbot> [discord] <clefthemouse> Sounds promising! Definitely will look into it once I'm done with this 🙂
