Just a suggestion, can you put in an option to not use the close-up of Spiffy the dog? It sorta looks out of place, since it was from the EGA version. I like the addition of Spiffy but I think the image could be a bit better quality. Were any other...  [Read More]

"Ultimate Classic Version Builder" suggests that this is less than it actually is. I suggest something more along the lines of "Reverse SCUMM Edition" or "Ultimate Talkie Edition". Basically something that emphasizes the...  [Read More]

Thanks for this latest update. It seems immeasurably better than the old updates. I feel confident that I can give this version to my friends who have never played Monkey Island before because they disliked the lack of "talkiness". One que...  [Read More]

I'm pretty sure the technique to do that, though, would be the same. And I'm not sure how you would get the voices to continue when you switch versions....  [Read More]

I agree with Silvor. The project still hasn't left Beta yet no one seems to care. There are still major problems and no one ever notes them or tries to fix them. Simultaneous speech doesn't work and there are still lines that don't speak as early as...  [Read More]

With everyone talking about the installer, I understand that all spoken lines are now correctly assigned to the text-lines in game? No more mismatches? They are not all fixed. I got it installed correctly but all simultaneous speech either doesn't w...  [Read More]

1. I just selected the SMI folder and it worked. 2. Yes, direct ScummVM to classdub or rename and move classdub to somewhere else (probably the ScummVM folder). 3. Any version probably will work just fine but I believe LucasArts used the CD version f...  [Read More]

Thanks. It was there waiting for me. However, all the audio problems I noted in an earlier post are still present...mostly when multiple people talk simultaneously (e.g., the three pirates). I was also wondering if there is any easy way to get the n...  [Read More]

I have the same problem. I installed it, but I can't find where to direct ScummVM. I tried the "Classic" folder, but it wouldn't play any sound....  [Read More]

Speech.info is somewhere in your MI:SE files :) Try searching in game folders (Data?) Ah, so it is. It is in the Audio folder. That little part should probably also be added to the instructions. Okay, so I've successfully implemented The Secret of...  [Read More]

Alright, I've attempted this check off list but run into a few problems (note: I am not a programmer in any way, but I can follow lists fairly accurately). First problem: xWMAEncode.exe could not or did not convert my files. The command prompt just...  [Read More]

I'm just going to go ahead and post that step-by-step list here since the link was the wrong one and navigating two different places was becoming rather difficult (I didn't add/change anything, so still follow the corrections above): Well.. Isn't to...  [Read More]

So, has anyone produced a talkie version of SMI yet that a regular, non-programmer can use? I assume it will work via ScummVM, but perhaps not. This thread gets updated so intermittently that I don't know if anyone is still working on this project. A...  [Read More]

Any update on the progress of this project? I've been looking forward to a talkie MI1 and 2 for years and this looks very likely to happen now (and no, the new graphic-intensive remake does not count...I want pixels! I mean, I have the new MI:SE, but...  [Read More]
