@Ender: I have a question about the GPL (I mailed you some time ago but you didn't respond): Problem: I have a main program that uses a DLL (as a plug-in). This DLL then uses parts of the ScummVM code. Is it ok to put only the DLL source under GPL an...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Ender We've got some Nut viewer code in ScummVM (scumm/smush/frenderer.cpp). I'm not sure how similar the format is against CMI, but it renders the Full Throttle and Dig fonts perfectly. I think the fonts are the same, howe...  [Read More]

AFAIR the fonts in CMI were the .nut files (the format similar to the Insane cutscenes). I think I have (or had) a simple viewer for them...at least I have the specs of the Nut files somewhere on one of my backup-CDs. Maybe I can code a little viewer...  [Read More]

Hiho, few days after the The Dig music player came out I mailed the guy who coded it and asked for the source code, and got it some days later. Essentially it's just some disassebled code (asm output from IDA) wrapped up with C code, i.e. the real a...  [Read More]

I'd really like to know what ScummRev showed, too. However, I doubt it was something useful as I've worked on the Discworld Noir files (the *.scn files) myself and can say that they are compressed so you can't do anything with them unless you know th...  [Read More]
