Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

I believe I'm finished. I've updated the google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/123XL6kmSrSF7ntbcFoJY1EVrxmMnCiYTCZ3OQ6k9sQg/edit?usp=sharing I proofread it once but feel free to mention anything which might make it better. I should make the .ods file available as well somehow. There a...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

DOSBox printed the text without quotation marks in the VGA version, just like ScummVM does. Strange. Now I'm wondering if there was an error in the production of the game. Why would the quotes be deleted compared to the EGA and why would there be this /025 code if it does nothing? But it doesn't ma...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

I guess the simplest way to check would be to run the game in DOSBox. Is there any early example of this? Yes; after reading the grave in the Weavers' cemetery (after getting rid of the owl) Bobbin repeats the last line. It displayed like this when I was playing the two versions with ScummVM: The d...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

I'm very close to being finished but I'm wondering if I'm getting a display anomaly in ScummVM with the VGA version. In the sheet provided by OmerMor some lines have a coding (/025) on either side of some lines that appears to do nothing. The EGA version has differnt coding onm the same lines (+ and...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

What's wrong with Google Sheets? You can give "Commenter" access to "Anyone with the link". I suppose so. I try to avoid google when I can. I read some non-specific complaints about the VGA version lacking some alternate puzzle solutions from the EGA. Does anyone know if this is...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

Took longer than I was expecting but in a couple days I'll have the comparison done for up to Bobbin reaching the mainland. I wanted to make the file available for comments or suggestions before I go further but I'm not sure how to share it. Just hosting the file somewhere (an .ods spreadsheet) migh...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

Here's what it looks like now: https://i.imgur.com/0tW8DPo.jpg I wonder if it needs notes for what location lines are being said in? I also wondered if it'd be useful to use tabs to split the script up into sections of the game like this; Loom island, the glassmakers and shepherds, the caves and the...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

I've done a litte as a test. I'd like opinions on the format In this version I try to put analogous lines side-by-side to aid comparison. Where a line has no analogue in the other version, I leave a blank space on the other side. https://i.imgur.com/3D66GoH.jpg In this version I simply put each vers...

Re: Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

I have a spreadsheet with all the text from the various Loom versions here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pLnM107vl28W9FuNtYkwm2X-juURY5dKrGhsY0mVDMQ/edit?usp=sharing This will be very useful; it will save me having to type the lines out myself and eliminate risk of typos. Thanks for shar...

Loom: EGA vs. VGA Script Differences

I recently heard about there being significant differences between the EGA and VGA versions of Loom, including the script. I played through both versions and found that the VGA script is not simply an abridged version of the EGA but is re-written with most lines being worded slightly differently and...
