[02:25] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> Spent some time experimenting on the Chewy demo and, yeh, it looks like it can't easily be supported. There's no de0.taf, the first one being det43.taf. I checked and it's the resource for room 65. But even when I try setting the starting room to 65, it just complains about invalid chunks
[02:26] <grogbot> <DreamMaster> I kind of half suspect as such.. during work on the engine, I had to rely on a disassembly of the release game executable and make a bunch of changes from the mid-development source we received to get everything to work. So it makes sense that the early demo would likely effectively need all the release-game changes to be undone just to get it to work properly
[02:41] <grogbot> <krum110487> So with AGI graphics, I know they were vector based but when in the process is the horizontal pixels doubled? Before the drawing? or do the drawing routines account for the doubling?

[05:55] --> ny00123 joined #scummvm.
[06:08] <grogbot> <antoniou79> @DreamMaster on my (crude) attempt to fix this, I had also set the starting room to be 43, and also disabled the intro stuff in MainMenu::execute() (dialogs\main_menu.cpp), but then this line _G(gameState)._personRoomNr[P_CHEWY] = 98; results in trying to load another room(?) file det63 (or sixty something iirc) which does not exist in the demo.

[12:19] <grogbot> <dongchan> So I managed to finish The Blackwell Legacy without significant issues
[12:20] <grogbot> <dongchan> However, Blackwell Unbound is unfinishable
[12:20] <grogbot> <dongchan> Just go to that area in the beginning of the game and ScummVM will segfault

[13:21] <grogbot> <sev> @dongchan it would be awesome if you file a bugreport and attach a savegame and exact steps to reproduce
[13:22] <grogbot> <dongchan> And it would be awesome if I didn't have to create a github account to do so
[13:26] <grogbot> <sev> well, in the past, we had much more complains that you had to create an account on our bugtracker, or before that, on sourceforge.net
[13:27] <grogbot> <sev> we need reliable means of contacting you back once the bug is fixed. that's why
[13:27] <grogbot> <sev> @dongchan if you have a better idea on how to achieve that, please share
[13:28] <-- littlebobeep left irc: Ping timeout: 240 seconds
[13:32] <grogbot> <dongchan> Maybe creating a channel for bug report on that server with a template post?
[13:32] <grogbot> <dongchan> You can upload up to 8MB files with a free account
[13:32] <grogbot> <sev> no, those are not trackable at all
[13:32] <grogbot> <sev> and poorly searchable
[13:33] <grogbot> <sev> and you cannot do even a basic workflow, like prioritize and assign an issue to developers
[13:34] <grogbot> <dongchan> Well obviously a developer would have to look at newer posts and create the adequate bug report on whatever platform you guys are using
[13:35] <grogbot> <sev> we have 11k tickets, 900 are open
[13:35] <grogbot> <dongchan> One other possibility would be to have some sort of one time token that could be given in PM so you could access a link where you could post your report
[13:36] <grogbot> <sev> and how then reach you later, maybe 6 months later?
[13:37] <grogbot> <sev> basically, an account with a working email is a must. I thought you have ideas about how to create that easier
[13:37] <grogbot> <dongchan> Why reaching back? I mean, isn't the point of asking for a save file is so you guys can test the issues yourselves?
[13:38] <grogbot> <sev> oh, for several reasongs
[13:38] <grogbot> <Bosca> That's rather clunky IMHO 😄
[13:38] --> littlebobeep joined #scummvm.
[13:38] <grogbot> <sev> first and foremost, users not always present all information, so we may need to clarify some details
[13:38] <grogbot> <sev> sometimes, the bugreport is outright wrong
[13:39] <grogbot> <sev> later, once the issue is fixed, it is best for the same user to re-test and confirm that it is indeed working for them
[13:39] <grogbot> <sev> those are the basics of bugreporting. You're not shooting them in the dark
[13:40] <grogbot> <sev> especially, say, you're reporting about some version which is rare or in a different language
[13:41] <grogbot> <sev> so, for the developers it is difficult to test by themselves, either they do not have that version, or, say, it is in the middle of the game in a language you do not speak or understand. After all, most adventures and RPGs are about texts

[13:57] <grogbot> <dongchan> In any case, that process isn't exactly working for people testing games and reporting they work
[13:58] <grogbot> <dongchan> Or fail

[17:56] <grogbot> <dongchan> Thanks
[18:04] <grogbot> <dongchan> Is there any sort of framework in ScummVM that could be used to automatize playthrought of game as part of the CI process?
