Good thing you asked about backgrounds. Some of the other stuff in SCUMMRev I'd be hesitant to talk about... ;) As for how Ludde turned it all into SCUMMVM, I can't tell either. I have a IDA disassembly of CMI that pretty much tells me how to do a n...  [Read More]

As for me, I use a disassembler, yes. With a debugger only being the helpful tool to find out the program flow when I'm in doubt. Simply because using a debugger tends to become a tedious process of trial and error when dealing with stuff that only o...  [Read More]

I doubt it ever will. SCUMM Revisited was always intended to be an explorer for SCUMM games. The additional game support was mainly there because it was a simple thing to do (because the formats were related). Not so for JK2 as far as I'm aware (alth...  [Read More]

No problem. :) I've just been told there IS a Mac utility outthere that supposedly does it, but I don't know if it allows you to change the length of the text. It might. Still, haven't tested it, don't have a Mac. And I don't endorse it either - esp...  [Read More]

As far as I recall, this board was created in order to let people ask questions, make comments, help each other out ;) Anyway, I replied to a similar question less than a month ago, here: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=459...  [Read More]

The keys problem... WinXP uses a new codepage (437) for DOS Prompts to add support for special characters like, say, the Euro symbol. This screws up a LOT of DOS programs that depend on the old codepages. So... Before running the game, type "ch...  [Read More]

Thanks for your opinions so far :) My main reasons for prefering SCUMM (right now) are mainly a mix of the nostalgia of using the original language, and the more streamlined way of handling multiple optional any-order arguments for stuff like blast-...  [Read More]

No, didn't make this a poll, because I want opinions, not statistics. As some of you are aware by now, one part of the SCUMMBag family (see another thread) is the ScummIDE - a tool to create new games using the original SCUMM engines - or, sometime...  [Read More]

A byte can be big endian/little endian in the way the bits are arranged inside the byte. So, the number 1 - in binary 00000001 - can be stored as: little endian: 10000000 or: big endian: 00000001 As for AKOF, AKCI, AKCD etc., the simplest way to de...  [Read More]

Codec 16 uses the room palette, from the little I've looked at it. It accesses a palette redirection table which is also accessed in some cases by codec 1. The redirection table it created at runtime, and is only modified by two script commands (klud...  [Read More]

Me! Me meme ME! I'll take the easy one :) Little endian: Derived from Little End First. Big endian: Derived from Big End First. What does that mean? It means that if you store a word (2 bytes), you can store it in two ways. Take the number 1234. T...  [Read More]

I know, itisme :) Right now, my mind is just set on too many different things at once, most of them non-computerish, and CMIDec is not the top priority of the computerish ones. That changes from day to day, however. As for features, the main reasons...  [Read More]

Doubt he is :) Ben (john_doe) knows what he's talking about. He's talking about the .mus files of Noir. Just because the file extensions for the files are the same (.mus) as CMI, doesn't mean they're the same type of file. And they aren't. - Serge...  [Read More]

CMIDec. Working on it. Slowly. Right now, I'm making sure that the new design of it allows me to add support for the earlier scripts easily. As a matter of fact, it will probably decompile scripts from DOTT, SNM, FT and The Dig too. Might add even ea...  [Read More]
