[18:12] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> hello, i need some help with ScummVM, is this the right channel to ask for
[18:16] <grogbot> [discord] <omgpizzaguy> @Ethel Probably a good channel depending on you need. What do you need help on?
[18:17] <grogbot> [discord] <omgpizzaguy> @Ethel Probably a good channel depending on your need. What do you need help on? (edited)
[18:18] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> im trying to make a portable Myst package using the original files, but i haven't been having any success on getting it to work
[18:23] <grogbot> [discord] <omgpizzaguy> I don't know much on that. We do have a wiki entry on Myst listing required files.
[18:23] <grogbot> [discord] <omgpizzaguy> https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Myst
[18:24] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> i have the required files for the Myst game, it's launching from my installed instance
[18:24] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> but trying to make a portable one isn't so succesful
[18:25] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> What have you tried so far?
[18:27] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> well i made a shortcut of scummvm and added a parameter to use a config that should make it launch straight up into Myst, however im getting all of the times the error that the required data files are not found, even though i have everything where it should be
[18:27] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> sometimes it just doesn't even launch
[18:28] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> Could you post the config file here?
[18:29] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1172966434024984666/myst.ini?ex=65623d1e&is=654fc81e&hm=e9f2d9fa1c273238300960b1e2fc7f7c2ed3b6b0bbeacd0233c3acc6d6e5098b&
[18:29] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> it's in the form of a .ini
[18:30] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> i also use the `-c "..\myst.ini" myst-win` parameter for the executable to launch straight into the game
[18:33] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> Could you post your regular config file from the Application Data directory as well?
[18:33] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> the Appdata directory?
[18:34] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> i think that may be it?
[18:34] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1172967643532234793/scummvm.ini?ex=65623e3e&is=654fc93e&hm=978d97fd40d1900021f2a8181f2dc9b45a0717ae4a670878ad4c67e816b3b489&
[18:36] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> Can you add the portable installation normally using the "Add Game" button?
[18:36] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> yeah
[18:36] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> i tried it and it worked
[18:37] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> with my current install of scummvm
[18:37] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> the portable install just doesn't run it
[18:39] <grogbot> [discord] <pncFreak> There is a description in the Forum: https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=14227
[18:39] <grogbot> [discord] <pncFreak> Does that not work?
[18:40] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> I'd also suggest you try using a newer version of ScummVM for the portable install.
[18:40] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> im using the latest stable release
[18:40] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> i'll try to see if that works
[18:41] <grogbot> [discord] <pncFreak> remember, relative paths for portability
[18:41] <grogbot> [discord] <ccawley2011> The portable config file you posted includes `versioninfo=2.1.0git`, which is several years out of date.
[18:42] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> oh
[19:11] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> ok so i tried this and it also didn't work
[19:11] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> game would boot up into a black screen for a few seconds, and then crash
[19:12] <grogbot> [discord] <pncFreak> and your paths are all relative? The paths in your ini files are not.
[19:13] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> yes i made sure to make my paths are relative
[19:13] <grogbot> [discord] <pncFreak> I'm at a loss
[19:13] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> same
[19:14] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> @Ethel
[19:14] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> my recommendation is using nigthly build of ScummVM, which is 2.8.0
[19:15] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> you have two options
[19:15] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> put the game next to the ScummVM (edited)
[19:15] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> and then you have two options
[19:16] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> 1. Launch it as `scummvm --auto-detect`
[19:16] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> 2. Rename ScummVM into `scummvm-auto.exe` and just launch it
[19:16] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> also, since you probalby want the saves to be portable as well
[19:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> then, create a file named `scummvm-autorun` and put there something like
[19:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> ```
[19:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> --savepath=saves/
[19:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> ```
[19:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> and create that `saves/` direcory
[19:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> and create that `saves/` directory (edited)
[19:18] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> you can read more abou tthis feature here: <https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/advanced_topics/autostart.html>
[19:27] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> oh hey, the game finally worked
[19:30] <grogbot> [discord] <omgpizzaguy> Looks like autostart did make it into 2.7.1 - I was trying to remember the details on that but got distracted in the meantime. Glad you got it working!
[19:32] <grogbot> [discord] <Ethel> i think it may have been something with the latest nightly build and not autostart, but im not the expert
[19:33] <grogbot> [discord] <omgpizzaguy> I wonder if autostart docs should also mention portable mode or vice versa for the install page, which is the only mention of portable mode in the docs
[19:37] <grogbot> [discord] <pncFreak> Ideally portable in docs should be easily accessible 🙂
