If you use a binary diff tool like bsdiff to create a patch, it will only store the differences between the patched & original files. You are probably right, the context needed should be small or just an offset, if the delta algorithm is smart e...  [Read More]

I think he meant the variations on Guybrush' lines. Exactly. And I agree that it's not as burning as the other problems but would be nice to have. Ideally that would be like the MI speech project, except that instead of a monster.so3, there will b...  [Read More]

First of all the modified SCUMM scripts have to be finished. There are still some minor things to do IMHO (removing some of the "Throopweed" variations, maybe add logic to the sword fighting scenes that the proper response sample is chosen,...  [Read More]

I wonder if it would be easier to patch ScummVM instead of messing with nearly all scripts........  [Read More]

Ok, I updated the tool (http://helicoid.de/scumm/mkspeech.zip) again. Now it should fall back to the next best line when the room does not match... I'm not sure how much more time I will/can put into this...... well.... the source code is as always...  [Read More]

I guess, you could first find all matches according to room numbers, and after that, ignoring the room numbers for the remaining lines. Hopefully, those aren't that many? Well now it only matches if the room number is correct. I think there are real...  [Read More]

Well, I wrote that with single samples for multi-lines in mind. Well still I assume fixing FOA sync is not trivial (otherwise it would probably be done already). I also think that the current approach is better, as the lines are always in sync this...  [Read More]

Ok, with the hint of LogicDeLuxe it works MUCH better now. EDIT: It also matches the interaction/script number now. So even less collisions. The input file needs to be generated with: scummtr -cw -g monkeycdalt -of mi1.txt -h -H For the output it...  [Read More]

Couldn't we just submit a patch for ScummVM? Eventhough, it is no intended original LEC feature, it won't hurt to have this supported, I'd say. As a side effect, this would also improve subtitle sync with FOA etc., since those have indeed the same is...  [Read More]

(numtags << 1) + 8 Ah! That's exactly what I was missing. Thanks. Whenever the next tag's position is encountered, the talking animation is toggled on or off. Ok, this will not help with multiple lines. I wonder if it helps with cut off samp...  [Read More]

I think there's more problems... even with the subtitles on, the timing in some scenes is completely off, for example with the Fettucini Brothers. Hmm strange, this particular scene seems to work fine here. I'm using the latest SVN build of ScummVM...  [Read More]

Why can't the patches I made be redistributed freely? Oh I did not say that. I just wondered if there is an "official" place for them as it seems to be a bit... hidden... please if there are no objections, we should put all relevant links...  [Read More]

that would be great if you could do that. It would help people (Especialy Me) to not have to buy a new one. Well actually that's the aim. For now the only thing needed is MISE, as it contains the original enhanced CD version. With my both tools unx...  [Read More]

What I got is an mi1new.txt, a missing.txt and the monster.so3 What now? Next step is to integrate the mi1new.txt into the original game files (make sure you have a backup...): scummtr -cw -g monkeycdalt -if mi1new.txt -H When putting the monster....  [Read More]

As said it would be good if there would be some volunteers that add the correct lines in mapping.txt. This is something *I* really don't want to do ..... If there is more than one volunteer, the work should be split up. Like line 1-2200 for person o...  [Read More]

Without variables in the string table (with cocomonk22 et al. changes) it's now 4436 of 4573 available samples assigned. I would call this a pretty neat coverage :) The only real problem now are the false positive matches that are listed in the mis...  [Read More]

For now mkspeech only supports mp3, but it is VERY easy to add other formats... I think the remaining major task is to choose the correct line when the result is ambiguous. See the missing.txt that is created for reference on what is not unique....  [Read More]

I tried the new mkspeech tool (after doing a fresh dump/conversion of all the voices and a new mi1.txt) and it gives me the following error: "Could not find SLP_71_gh-room_9_1.mp3" and closes. This actually should not be a problem. The fil...  [Read More]
