Can't, really. No access to mIRC, and I don't have his email address. Also, experience has taught me not to give out mine to anyone but the people I want to know it ;) So, he can ask bg for it. I'd be happy to answer anything I can, since the succes...  [Read More]

I knew you'd ask (for a screenshot), and I guess I'll try. But with my VERY limited internet access (at most once a week, I bother to go to the computer room on campus), it'll take some time. We'll see. Also, I guess I didn't make the anti-promise st...  [Read More]

It's Serge! None other! He thought he could hide among the banana peels and the ham from last month, but no! I found him! Anyway, nah, I'm not back to stay, just checking inhere, and making sure that noone steals my latest idea, by claiming my right...  [Read More]

Short titles for the CMI tracks (and my guess is those are actually the full names Land gave the tracks... They're also listed inside the .exe) can be found in some of the TEXT blocks inside the MAP blocks of each track. The "block" names f...  [Read More]

First of all, I'm not working on ScummIDE at the moment - as usual, I'm way too busy with other stuff. And contrary to what khalek may believe, it won't be done this year. If ever. However, I don't doubt that sometime in the future, either I or someo...  [Read More]

I believe I described the IACT (the cutscene audio) format to Endy once. So SCUMMVM should support it. Although I must say, the audio quality of The Dig seems to me to be the worst in the history of LucasArts adventures. Thankfully, there's the sound...  [Read More]

Since they were used for various Humungous games too, they might still be used. In any event, without saying more than I can, they might be facing a revival :) Nothing to do with SCUMMBag, which is dormant at the moment :) And I don't want to be spre...  [Read More]

Well, first... I'm not known as SCUMMLord :) That's just my self-assumed title :) Secondly, may not be a good idea to link to SCUMMBag. It's another of those projects that may never happen. As usual, I'm too busy with other stuff to actually having w...  [Read More]

I think I might as well state here that to my knowledge, SCRAMM is dead. As most of you will know, I left my monstrous creation to live its own life, or die, years ago. Talked to James recently, and he seems to have moved on too. I'm happy for him, I...  [Read More]

First of all, make sure you're using SCUMM Revisited 2. SCUMM Revisited 3 will not play back MIDIs. The MIDIs and images of Sam and Max are stored in the file called something like samnmax.sm1. Open that file in SCUMM Revisited, and you'll see an en...  [Read More]

I like it, Met :) Although the C is a bit too far from the S in SCUMM ;) And the constant dynamic resizing at loading time of tables on all the forums continue to bug me :) Thanks! - Serge...  [Read More]

The Amiga version didn't use MIDIs, but rather one of the first MOD formats - TFMX (The Final Music system eXtended). The songs are stored in two files - don't remember what they're called, but there's some info on it on the SCUMM Revisited page, her...  [Read More]

Thought of those options, and decided they're no good :) Won't use :: or : both due to other languages' grammars and because it's not really easy to type, as '-' is. And I really don't want to make the language too much a mix of everything else - we...  [Read More]

Yeah, pretty much the same as a C/C++ compiler. The compiler turns the script into opcodes used by the virtual machine that is the SCUMM interpreter. The choice of language doesn't change the final output, just the way the output is created by the co...  [Read More]

Resources ARE loaded into memory. When you enter a room (O_CURRENT_ROOM opcode), the ROOM block is loaded. The other resources (COST/AKOS, SOUN, SCRP etc.) are loaded using other opcodes (subopcodes of O_HEAP_STUFF) by the scripts when needed. As a...  [Read More]
