[11:34] <eriktorbjorn> sev: Unfortunately I have no ideas about the other Buried in Time bugs. Some apparently happen in the original as well, but https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/12885 might be unique to ScummVM. Doesn't look like a very important bug, but still...
[11:35] <_sev> if you could kind of narrow it down, I can ask guys to check the original code
[11:48] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: Well, I think I narrowed it down to CodexTowerOutsideDoor::mouseUp(). It has two different cutscenes for opening the door, but they seem to only be about how the door was opened. Both would show what I assume is the agent time-jumping away. I couldn't find any cutscene without that. That's why I asked Thunderforge if there was still an animation the second time he opened the door, but he hasn't replied yet.
[11:51] <eriktorbjorn> I tried downloading the GOG version, but I couldn't get it running - neither with Wine nor Windows - so I can't compare it myself.

[13:40] <-- ny00123 left irc: Quit: Leaving
[14:10] <grogbot> <dongchan> So I tried The X Fools. Scummvm ScummVM 2.4.0git189-gd4fe0dd11d7 Both The X Fools and Abduct This! are recognized but non of them are playable. "ERROR: Failed to load RIFX from EXE!"
[14:16] <eriktorbjorn> dongchan: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Director/Games lists them as Director 6 games. I don't now what Direction versions ScummVM supports, but I thought it was something like "parts of Director 1 through 3"?
[14:21] <grogbot> <dongchan> It seems like it. I guess I was reading too quickly and didn't realized those were too advanced for testing yet 😓
[14:27] <grogbot> <dongchan> Anyway the front page of the project states you guys are actively collecting info on any Director-based (and Shockwave) titles that we catalogue on the wiki.
[14:32] <grogbot> <dongchan> That's why I'll also put that here too: I copied the files from my CDrom copy of Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster, and I couldn't add it, nothing was detected.
[14:33] <grogbot> <dongchan> I'm not sure if it only works on the installed version or not.
[14:53] <grogbot> <eientei> Unless you have FRANKIE.EXE on the disc, then you'll need to install it first
[15:12] <grogbot> <dongchan> Indeed, though my version isn't recognized. I'll just wait for the support to mature a bit. And proper instructions for copying the game data properly.
[16:08] --> SylvainTV__ joined #scummvm.
[16:10] <_sev> eriktorbjorn: We support D2 (good), D3 (ok), D4 (buggy), D5 (basic)
[16:10] <_sev> D6 is not even supposed to load
[16:10] <_sev> and pre-D2, e.g. D1 and VideoWorks are not supported too

[17:24] --> reset joined #scummvm.
[17:30] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: Thanks. The only D2 game I have, as far as I know, is the Mac version of Spaceship Warlock (where I'm still uncertain about which files I need).
[17:34] <eriktorbjorn> I know the Wiki says "all files from the CD-ROM", but does that really include "Trash" and "Desktop Folder"?
[17:34] <_sev> yes. those are empty
[17:34] <_sev> or maybe 10kb
[17:34] <_sev> so just take everything
[17:35] <_sev> here is the detailed description: https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/use_scummvm/mac_game_files.html
[17:35] <eriktorbjorn> And I assume "Total Distortion DEMO!!" and "Warlock Trailer" are just that: demos/trailers not used by the full game
[17:35] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: I just tried the web-based dumper. Worked fine with the ISO I made from the CD recently.
[17:35] <_sev> yes, could be, but then it is difficult to say which files do they use
[17:36] <_sev> as the files are accessed by the Lingo scripts which span in those hundreds of the game movies
[17:36] <_sev> each scene is a separate movie
[17:38] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: These are the files I extracted: http://www.update.uu.se/~d91tan/tmp/warlock-mac-filelist.txt
[17:38] <_sev> yep. typical Warlock Mac CD
[17:38] <_sev> but you needed to encode it
[17:39] <_sev> files "Spaceship Warlock???" should be puny-encoded
[17:39] <_sev> let me see if we fixed that or still not
[17:39] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: I noticed. I checked "Allow Unicode file names" just to see what would happen.
[17:40] <_sev> yep, we did
[17:40] <_sev> the file should be named "xn--Spaceship Warlock-306j"
[17:42] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: By the way, the code that looks for the original Mac MI1 / Loom executable probably doesn't handle punycode. (Unless it's done automagically.)
[17:42] <_sev> do they have non-ascii characters in their file names?
[17:42] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: Loom does.
[17:43] <eriktorbjorn> Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, too. I forgot about that.
[17:44] <eriktorbjorn> _sev: It starts here: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/d4fe0dd11d775bbd1c0f7fddcbb77dda1c801f89/engines/scumm/scumm.cpp#L1318
[17:45] <_sev> additional testing is required, but if you're trying to get just "Loom", then of course, it will not even try puny-encoding it. And if you got file named "Loom?", then it will not be detected
[17:45] <_sev> ah, you're trying there in MacRoman encoding
[17:45] <_sev> maybe worth switching, or at this moment, adding punycode as an alternative

[18:00] <wanwan> well, I was looking to team up with someone experienced to bring one obscure game to scummvm
[18:01] <_sev> what game? and what kind of help do you need?

[19:36] <grogbot> <slurms mackenzie> so lovely to see a scummvm discord! i've just worked out ScummVM supports Beavis & Butthead Do U so I'm playing that old (pretty crappy) game now, but it's nice to feel like it's 1999 again 🙂

[20:32] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> wanwan: Is this something you've yet to start, or are you in progress already? And are you aware if the engine used for any other games, or that just one?
[20:33] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> If it's something you're just starting, you might want to consider working on a game engine that was used across multiple games, like the SSI engine.
[20:34] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Though in it's case, I think there may already be reimplemented engines for that, so maybe not
[20:34] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Though don't let me discourage you if you're really passionate about the game. More games are always welcome 🙂
[20:42] <wanwan> thanks
[20:43] <wanwan> truth to be told, I've never actually played that game...
[20:43] <wanwan> just a very tiny bit
[20:48] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> LOL. Reminds me of myself. Back in the day, I started my first full game disassembly for Lure of the Temptress, not ever having played the game. My goal was to be able to play the game for the first time on ScummVM
[20:53] <wanwan> hehe

[21:33] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> I'd briefly played it naturally, so it was enough to get me interested, and because Revolution had made the game freeware, and ScummVM supported the two Broken Sword games by the same company, I thought it a worthwhile game to work on.
[21:35] <-- Maturion left irc: Read error: Connection reset by peer
[21:41] --> Maturion joined #scummvm.
[21:45] <grogbot> <sev> @DreamMaster that game looks like a predecessor for KGB, and there is another game released before it
[21:45] <grogbot> <sev> and wanwan has a working C engine which now needs to be ported to C++ and OSystem
[21:46] <-- Maturion left irc: Remote host closed the connection
[21:51] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Ah, that's not so bad then. He didn't mention the state, and I couldn't remember if it had been discussed previously, and I'd just forgotten it. 😛
[21:52] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> I'd offer to help, but after a bit of a bit of a break post release to actually play some games for a change, I have a tentative play to look into what's needed to get the Chewy engine finished.
