I was under the impression you should stay away from bit-shifts to stay endian-independent? Not really. Shifting works the same, no matter the endianness. md5's suggestion isn't really optimal either. Better have a look here: http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#RoundUpPowerOf2 'levm...

Well, if I can give you some advice, open a github account, read some git for beginners tutorials and go along with it. The history won't be as "clean" as it could be, you'll basically start with a big "Initial commit" commit, but it's better than nothing. Maybe it's just me and ...

Not to sound "ungrateful", but I for one would prefer a proper repository with history. Always very interesting and enlightening how people organize their commits.

Did you, perchance, properly manage your code with git, hg, bazaar, what-have-you?

Or try switching to SDL 1.3. Apart from the general portability madness a new library brings, switching ScummVM to SDL 1.3 comes with another problem: SDL 1.3 drops CD-ROM support . Meaning, most of our direct CD audio code won't work anymore. The reasoning for that move is pretty crappy too: "...

The compress_gob.exe tool Yeah, no, don't use that. That tool just recreates an STK/ITK file from a previously extracted one (using extract_gob_stk). It's not for decreasing the size of an STK/ITK file. I'm sure, however, that a lot could be saved with some simple extraction/recompression. As far a...

I was one of lead engineers on Monty Python's Meaning of Life. And I was one of a handful of engineers entrusted to make changes to the TopGun source code. Having said that, I don't have the source and can't remember sufficient details to begin deciphering the game files. Improbable and therefore k...

Yes, parts of the team received the source code for those from the rights holders.

Would it be possible to implement such a feature into SCUMMVM at some point Possible? Probably. There's a few caveats, however: The ScummVM graphics system currently has no idea about vector graphics, so a vector renderer would need to be added too. This would take quite some works and increase the...

No.

Note: This is a mod for phpBB3. We are still running phpBB2.

By convention, we generally don't give any games we've added support in ScummVM for by reverse-engineering them more than 95%.

I must admit, the details of all the arguments for/against relicensing to GPLv3 are hazy in my memory (there's a surprise ).

Anyway, adding clauses, as was suggested by RickJ_Ags, is a completely different anymal than going from "GPLv2 or later" to "GPLv3 or later".

It would be my guess that he is referring to burdens/obligations real or perceived that would be placed on the authors of AGS games by the GPL. IANAL, but from what I understand, the actual games are completely outside the scope of ScummVM's and the engine's license. adding a couple mutually agreea...

I'm running the 1.30 nightly builds for both windows/Wii We're currently in a pre-release testing periods. All nightly build are of the stable 1.3.0 branch, with unsupported games disabled. What you think you want is a build from the 1.4.0 dev branch. Games like Gabriel Knight and King's Quest 7 ke...

I've said that, should the ScummVM team want to, they are welcome to go ahead and implement support for running AGS games into ScummVM. Well, that would work for 2.x, which I understand is fixed and not further developed anymore (correct me if I'm wrong), this is all fine and dandy. But for the sti...
