To quote myself: It is possible. You can switch between speech, speech + subtitles, and subtitles only. The speech setting is independent from the music selection....  [Read More]

I'd actually like to play THIS version of the game WITHOUT the voices. Lol. Is that possible? (It's probably in the readme, isn't it?) It is possible. You can switch between speech, speech + subtitles, and subtitles only....  [Read More]

I don't know if this is fixable, but what always bothered me in the SE was the timing of Guybrush's head turning during the first dialogue with the Fettucini brothers. He turns his head exactly when one of the Brothers starts talking, but I think it...  [Read More]

Well, it's correct that the image is squashed, since the game runs at a non-square pixel resolution of 320x200, so the image gets stretched when played. Your Spiffy would seem a bit longer-faced ingame ;)...  [Read More]

The tool doesn't crash anymore, but unfortunately the classic music couldn't be extracted, and the SE music is missing tracks 22, 23 and 24. By the way, when walking around Mêlée Town, isn't there supposed to be ambience playing? Or was th...  [Read More]

I'll test it some other time. But the first "bug" I've encountered happens when talking to the Men of Low Moral Fiber: I guess it's impossible to have the short guy giggle during the lines of the other pirates? Anyway, when he gets hit on...  [Read More]

Not sure that would work, I'm don't think the new and old graphics are completely aligned, the new art is also widescreen.Ah right... that's why the image zooms out when you switch modes... so even IF it worked, you wouldn't be able to see your verbs...  [Read More]

Thanks, the Fettucini-part works now. But there's still the problem of multi-part lines not working with the subtitles turned off, and there are still overlaps (for example when talking to the lookout)....  [Read More]

Sounds like a reasonable approach. Have you considered drawing at a higher resolution, while keeping some body parts separate? That way you could possibly simplify some animations (like talking, because you can move elements separately on a sub-pixel...  [Read More]
