Re: Dev Question: How to patch SCI scripts

Correction: The MSYS I installed above does NOT ship with an old git. It doesn't bundle git at all. I have Git for Windows installed separately.

There were multiple MSYS environments on my hard drive, and I confused this one with one from another project, which did have an ancient git.

Re: Dev Question: How to patch SCI scripts

I haven't set up a build environment yet. For now I'll assume the wiki is adequate ( MinGW ). lol *sigh* All the the MinGW links are out of date and broken. On the plus side, MinGW+MSYS setup is easier nowadays with the mingw-get installer. Basic Setup (meta packages) mingw-developer-toolkit mingw3...

Re: Dev Question: How to patch SCI scripts

That last ticket is scary. It deletes all but 20 of QFG4's saved games whenever it autosaves (disabling autosave prevents it, btw). I guess I'll diagnose that here with the CD edition, and folks can chime in or watch me learn... I filled my saved game dir with more than 20 files, loaded up a saved g...

This, sorry. Your post was informative though.
I'm hoping to contribute to ScummVM, fixing QFG4's many bugs.

Dev Question: How to patch SCI scripts

Background I've begun learning how to tinker with the ScummVM debugger (ctrl-shift-d) and SCI Companion . I can use breakpoints & backtrace in the former and decompile scripts with the latter. This week, I gleaned enough SCI to read a script and wield the debugger's send command to invoke metho...

Umm... What happened to the 32bit Windows build?

It's not in the Downloads section and it's not on the Sourceforge files page.

The nightly buildbot says it compiled okay. :roll:

Dunno. I'm a Windows/Knoppix guy. I'll have access to a coworker's Mac on Friday.

Would it be possile to switch to a stand-in text epilogue in the event that file is missing, for the benfit of suckers like myself?

That'd still allow for frankenstein versions.

Also, for those who don't want to reencode, getting the data files from the Mac version was painless (they're already dxa). It might be a good idea to let people know nothing currently can extract a Mac Installer VISE setup the way icomp5/6 can with Installshield. People who buy the Mac version need...

I've got the 2-CD English Mac version and just finished the game with only a couple glitches. In the end though it can't find whowhat.dxa, which isn't included in that version. Could someone tell me what it is? It's supposed to play right after Feeble enters his name at the terminal. Files Raziel ha...
