Any plans to support it? Also: The Dark Eye?

wrong forum - from the forum index:

The Junkyard
All the inane chatter goes in here. If you're curious about whether we will support a game, post HERE not in General Discussion :)

and searching the forums for "discworld" will give you 43 results... and then there's also http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Discworld

hope that helps,
clem

edit: and the dark eye (DSA?) appears to be an RPG and not a "2D point-and-click adventure game"

I'd like to see that running on my system too. But it was made with some sort of authoring system and consists mainly of Quicktime movies. I don't think the chances of ScummVM supporting that are high...

I got dark eye running on my pc (XPsp2) with a little elbow grease.

Granted - I used my original copy to create the game folders on my hard drive.

One day I tried to see if one of the versions floating around on the net worked and I had no luck.

No emulator was needed, just a strategic placement of data folders on your c:\

haha, you're right - that's a bit of a loophole right now :lol:

forum rule #3 (keep the focus on questions) doesn't apply because it's not a question

forum rule #4 (no profanity) - I wonder if that applies to pictures as well or only text?

forum rule #6 (keep the size of personal images down) - doesn't per se forbid you to post "personal" images :)

I just hope I'm not putting fleas in anyone's ears here...

OK, I know you guys are only kidding, but still, just to make this crystal clear: The forum rules are not like a law text with "loop holes". We act on the spirit of them -- if somebody thinks (s)he could argue against a ban because of a "loophole in the forum rules", that person is gravely mistaken. :twisted:

it just is a lot easier saying "banned for violation of forum rule <unsigned char>" than writing "banned for violating common sense" - from what I've seen on the net so far, common sense does not seem to exist :)

just kidding, of course!

Wikipedia wrote:Profanity is “the quality or state of being profane”. It can also relate to using profane language, or desecration or disrespect toward an object of religious veneration.[1] It can be a word, expression, gesture, or other social behavior which is socially constructed or interpreted as insulting, rude, or vulgar.
in most case's naked people arn't vulgar

you could always use thumbnails and host them on a image hosting site
