TRANSLATION GAMES AND PATCHES TAKEN HERE:
King's Quest 1-2-3 REMAKE VGA (AGD Interactive)
https://www.planete-aventure.net/forums ... 29#p243130

I tested the patches and they work well on Windows.
but unfortunately they do not work on ScummVm

...I tested the King's Quest remake trilogy last night and everything worked on my ScummVM living room television. (my only way since I have suffered from acute back pain for many years!)

Is there a way for me to replace the original English text files for your French versions manually and which would work on ScummVM?

When I run:

KING'S QUEST 1 (once patched and ALL files put in a ScummVM folder)
I receive this message:
ATTENTION YOU MUST RESPECT THE CORRECT EXECUTABLE!
-To play, launch Kq1vga FR.exe from the game installation directory.
-To configure the mode, launch winsetup fr.bat.

KING'S QUEST 2 (once patched and ALL files put in a ScummVM folder)
I receive this message:
WARNING: This version of the game does not support foreign language translation packs.
Please run the installer and select the "Default game" option under the "game languages" settings before playing.

KING'S QUEST 3 (once patched and ALL files put in a ScummVM folder)
I receive this message:
WARNING: This game does not support foreign language translation packs.
Please run the installer and select the "Game Default" option under the "Game Language" setting before playing.

Would someone please check HOW I can play these games on ScummVM with their French translation?

Thank you very much, I await your responses/comments

j'ai tester les patches et elles fonctionnent bien sur windows.
mais maleureusement elle ne fonctionnent pas sur ScummVm

...j'avais teste la trilogie King's Quest remake hier soir et tout fonctionnait sur mon ScummVM de televison de salon. (mon seul moyen puisque je souffre de douleures aigues au dos depuis de nombreuses annees!)

est-ce qu'il y aurait un moyen pour moi de remplacer les fichier textes originaux englais pour tes version francaises manuellement et qui fonctionnerais sur ScummVM ?

Quand je lance :

KING'S QUEST 1 (une fois patche et TOUS les fichiers mis dans un dossier ScummVM)
je recoit ce message :
ATTENTION IL FAUT RESPECTER LE BON EXECUTABLE!
-Pour jouer lancer Kq1vga FR.exe depuis le repertoire d'installation du jeux.
-Pour parametrer le mode lancer winsetup fr.bat.

KING'S QUEST 2 (une fois patche et TOUS les fichiers mis dans un dossier ScummVM)

Is there a way for me to replace the original English text files for your French versions manually and which would work on ScummVM?

Unfortunately you cannot. This is a known issue: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/13480

Thanks you so much Criezy,
I hope someone will be able to manage /find a solution !

Someone was very kind to just explained this to me :

"The games designed by AGD Interactive have the particularity of blocking the translation of their games, whether they are free like the King Quest remakes or commercial like Al Emmo.
For a long time, these games could not be translated because of this blockage.
Then one day, one of the AGS developers proposed on a Russian game translation site, a modification of the acwin.exe file, the game engine, in order to bypass this blockage.

In fact, AGD Interactive uses a function (IsTranslationAvailable) in AGS that allows translations to be blocked.
The acwin.exe file (renamed according to the game in which it is used) allows you to bypass this blockage, but cannot in any way replace the game's exe.
The problem is that it only works correctly in the Windows environment and even then, you have to do a whole bunch of tinkering to launch the game.
This acwin.exe file is not recognized in ScummVM, because the latter will look for the original exe with this blocking function generating the messages you listed.

The only viable solution would be to modify the original exe of the 3 games "

I assume the guys that worked on the ticked opened here are aware of that explanation ?

Yes, it's possible to patch the games. The function IsTranslationAvailable is called with

Code: Select all

setfuncargs 0
movl ax, &IsTranslationAvailable
farcall ax

and it sets ax to 1 if a translation is being used. By changing it to

Code: Select all

setfuncargs 0
movl ax, &IsTranslationAvailable
not ax

it will always set ax to 0 making it appear that the original text is being used. Only one byte needs to be changed for each call.

It's probably easiest to create a zip archive with the patched globalscript.o and room files. These files can be extracted to the translated game folder and ScummVM will use them when playing the game.

If this is not allowed, I can generate patch files that will make the changes or I can write a program that will find all the game files in the game folder and make the changes to their scripts.

Here are the patched scripts for each of the games. Just extract the files to the game folder and it should work.

Hope you will be able to make something... (fingers crossing)

[borges]

the games a recognized but still only in English

The patches I made only disable IsTranslationAvailable, they don't translate the game.
If there is not a French.tra file, you need to install the French patch.
If there is a French.tra file, you will need to set the game language to French.
