Happy anniversary! [02:26] 👋 [02:27] do u guys know if both the GOG and Steam version of Indiana 3 are the VGA versions? [02:30] Disco: Unfortunately it looks that way, I'm not aware of any supported means to get the Towns version without spending a fortune on a Japan auction. [02:31] The exception is Zak Mckracken where thankfully the GOG version bundles the 256-colour towns build. But it looks like we didn't get so luck with Indy3 or MI1 [02:35] okay cool thanks, i wanted to make sure I bought the VGA not EGA [02:35] i remember playing the EGA when it came out as a kid, so much fun, and harder than the movie 😛 [02:35] i got an AD-Lib card right around that time - really made Sierra and LucasArts games come alive [02:35] then, I got an MT-32 a couple of years later - expensive but worth it! [02:36] Yeah, the GOG version is the VGA version for sure. Steam is no doubt as well. [02:37] I remember when I got my first Sound Blaster, OPL2 ftw [02:37] Alhough as an Amiga fanboy, my favorite demo was pulling up Test Drive on the Amiga and PC to prove how superior my platform was :P [02:37] "Accccolade presennnntssss..."

[02:57] I only ever Windows GS and Theme Hospital [02:57] *remember [02:57] it's always bothered me that the Steam version of Indy3 uses the Tandy audio instead of AdLib in the original interpreter. [03:19] haha I started on just the old PC internal speaker [03:19] i had a friend how had an Apple 2 GS - and King's Quest IV recently came out - it sounded AMAZING on that Apple [03:20] and my other friend who had a Tandy - his sounded better than mine until I got the Adlib, then I got the SB Pro, then MT-32...that MT32 cost me $500 - somehow i got my parents to help with it - I was in high school back in 1991 [03:27] i actually havent replayed Indy 3 in years, mainly because of the lackluster sound [03:27] ive played Indy 4, of course, many times [03:50] IIGS had a lovely sound chip. [03:52] The IIgs was just lovely [04:01] Ehhhh. It was shipped with too little RAM, the CPU was clocked slower than the SNES and was doing more, the OS was late, the system was afflicted by Apple's fat margins and desire to push the Apple II under the rug, and Apple's typical disinterest in interoperating with non-apple systems makes things like file transfer painful. [04:02] (Although honestly the CPU speed is bearable provided you can get a ram upgrade) [04:09] In hindsight, yeah [04:09] Not like the IBM Jr was much better... [04:18] PCJr had worse color and wasn't fun. I wouldn't use one today.

I'd say it's being loaded from resources.cpp if lang == EN_ANY [08:35] (according to language.h that should be 5) [08:36] I could get swords of xeen and world of xeen (GOG releases) to work, by recreating the xeen.ccs file via "our devtools/create_xeen/create_xeen.exe", using files from the gog releases (I had to combine since "Dark.cc" was missing from "sword" [08:39] For now, I can only say that an updated xeen.ccs file (made using data files from the GOG releases) works for GOG releases. The command I ran was: ./create_xeen.exe dark.cc "xeen.dat" from the Might and Magic - Swords of Xeen game folder, after I had copied dark.cc in there from the Might and Magic 4-5 game folder.

But looking at this, I think it almost justifies a 2.5.1 release pretty much right away [09:03] Can I upload it somewhere and link you to it? Maybe in pm? [09:03] The Windows zip file doesn't include the tools, only the main binary [09:04] Given how there's one in the repo, it should be fine to upload here or commit directly [09:04] Deledrius (~Deledrius@user/deledrius) joined #scummvm. [09:06] the thing is, I can only test with GOG versions, which are English. That set of commits was to support Russian (and maybe other) translations. I don't know if my ccs will break that support or support with the original versions of the game [09:06] So direct commit is not a good idea, until someone more experienced on the engine can confirm [09:07] I only have the GOG version either, so no way to confirm if it breaks other languages as well, I don't have any other versions of the game [09:07] Deledrius_ (~Deledrius@user/deledrius) left irc: Ping timeout: 265 seconds [09:09] The Russian version is a fan translation [09:22] I'm off for the night, happy 20th (regressions not withstanding [09:22] :D [09:23] Probably best to consult with Maxim Kovalenko [09:27] @antoniou79 are you able to DM me it?

[14:28] Hello [14:29] Why is ScummVM described as a point-and-click adventure emulator. Isn't more generalized than that? Like a DOS emulator? [14:29] ScummVM is not an emulator at all [14:30] It is a reimplementation of the game executables themselves, which also means that it can run only specific games while a good emulator can run each and every piece of software [14:31] That's pretty cool. I see that an old pinball game called Tilt! attempts to use the ScummVM to run it. Are you familiar with that one? [14:32] If they do then they better obey the license. [14:33] I think the challenge is getting old DOS games to work on Windows 10, not the piracy. [14:33] @j4w4 do you have a link to the game? [14:34] I meant the license for scummvm itself. [14:34] I don't know this game and didn't know that scummvm could be used for pinballs [14:35] I don't know either but I think someone has tried. [14:36] oh ok [14:37] But the actual last name of the path is loom [14:37] So, I think it's messed up. [14:38] Loom is a game supported by scummvm [14:40] Yep, makes sense to me know. Somehow, the file got named wrong. 3dpinbal.bat but the contents show attempt to launch loom with ScummVM. [14:44] So are these rewritten native to like a newer operating system like Windows 10? [14:44] So you don't have to use DosBox? [14:45] exactly, it allow the games to run on modern systems by basically replacing the binaries [14:45] so no need for emulation at all [14:46] Amazing, very clever, so really just using the original assets like images, audio/video and some basic logic.... ? [14:46] Hey, can you guys do Armed & Delirious? That would be dope! [14:46] 🙂 [14:46] I love that old game. [14:47] I think it came out on Windows 95. [14:49] Does Loom on Steam use the ScummVM? [14:57] Yeah, basic logic as in completely rewriting the game from scratch. [14:57] So harder than I'm suggesting? [14:57] I mean there has to be a general pattern since you can do this for most of them. [14:58] No, each engine is different; and one engine covers only some games [14:59] Oh okay, wow, well, it's very cool that it's being done. Don't forget my request for Armed and Delirious. It's an overlooked classic I think! 🙂 [15:15] TMM_ (hp@amanda.tmm.cx) left irc: Quit: https://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere. [15:15] TMM_ (hp@amanda.tmm.cx) joined #scummvm.
