This is yet another tricky issue... The different versions of SPUTM (the SCUMM presentation utility) have LOTS of differences between the different major versions. To sum those up: MI1 disk versions: 4 MI1 CDROM versions: 5 MI2: 5 CMI (only Windows-...  [Read More]

Have either of you tried running it with DirectSound accelleration set to Basic Accelleration? (type "dxdiag" in Start/Run to get to DirectX Diagnostics). Since the GF Trailer SMUSH player is very similar to the CMI Game ditto, it may also...  [Read More]

First thing to find out was that the video wasn't 640x480x8 but rather 640x480x16 - like the game ;) As for you, poor Metallus, I still have no idea :P As for SMUSH decoding, it'll still take a long time... I have a compiler, a decompiler, an entir...  [Read More]

Damn. I have no idea :P. Might just have been a coincidence that it worked when I ran it from Windows and didn't when I ran it from WinZip. Still, it's run fine for the past month whenever I tried it. Hmm... Maybe try setting your display to 640x480x...  [Read More]

That the .exe is an isolated SMUSH player isn't the only thing that's great about it, I just found... When LEC released it, they also forgot to remove the debugging info from it. So, with the right disassembler, every single function and variable is...  [Read More]

The plot thickens... I downloaded the file from Mojo, did a filecompare of my two .zips. They were identical. I ran the .exe, it ran fine. However, when I tried running it by doubleclicking inside WinZip, it gave me a black screen and I had to reboo...  [Read More]

http://scummrev.mixnmojo.com/download/Grimovie.zip There ya go. Be sure it's with a capital G in Grimovie. And don't link to this from somewhere else. If you have space for it somewhere, put it up there. I'll remove it as soon as I get confirmation...  [Read More]

Anyway, since part of the SCUMMBag project involves figuring out the CMI SMUSH format, I might do a DivX encode of it sometime to make it easier to distribute it on the web. No idea when I'll have it worked out, though ;) - Serge...  [Read More]

The file at MetaFox's site is indeed corrupted. I just compared it to the version I sent to him and about 65K of the .zip (in one big chunk) are just plain wrong. Which doesn't make sense. If it had been due to the server treating it as an ASCII file...  [Read More]

Can't believe no Grim pages (or anyone else) have it anymore. If nothing else, the music is great, and it's a great look into the CMI version of SMUSH (as far as I recall, it's pretty much the same SMUSH version as that one) without having to dig thr...  [Read More]

If you mean that it plays IMMENSELY fast, that's due to the old SMUSH bug that's also evident in CMI when running on XP. To fix that, run dxdiag and set your DirectSound accelleration to Basic Accelleration. If it just doesn't work at all, (I haven't...  [Read More]

Thanks for that, Meta :) I lost the trailer myself some years back. Someone found it for me on some obscure site. Went looking for that site again, since I don't have any ftp space on Mojo yet (if Mojo even has an ftp server yet after the move :P), a...  [Read More]

As I just told you on IRC, no problem :) I just learned from my lesson on SCRAMM. But as long as the public know that I don't really have the dedication you have, and thus the program might never be done, I guess it won't harm. I just grew tired of c...  [Read More]

Oh damn... Guess I forgot to tell you, Endy :) WinSPUTM is not announced in any way, and really, it shouldn't have been. Since it's likely that (once again) I'll drop it. Oh well. Another reason it isn't announced is this... I really can't cope with...  [Read More]
