Discworld

[Laserschwert]

Will Discworld support the files from glidem's Music Enhancement Project right away, or will that be implemented at a later stage?

[heruan]

I have the Italian version of Discworld, and no *.smp files nor *.scn, only .gra. Hence the game is not recognized

Strange...
I have a european version with french, german, itlian and spanish languages and these files exist. At first, the game couldn't be loaded because apparently it checks if the file "english.txt" exists. I just had to rename the french.txt into english.txt and it went well.

These are the files I have:

and my ScummVM version (on Linux, compiled with `make deb'):

Code: Select all

$ scummvm -v
Using configuration file: /home/giovanni/.scummvmrc
ScummVM 0.13.0svn (Jul 26 2008 23:55:00)
Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 ALSA zLib MPEG2 FluidSynth 

When I try to add the game, selecting the directory where those files are stored, I get: "Scummvm could not find any game in the specified directory!"
Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe my CD-ROM is crappy :/

Are you sure you compiled with --enable-tinsel?

[meist3r]

Are you sure you compiled with --enable-tinsel?

For those who don't know how to use CLI flags under Linux properly yet (like me):

In the "configure" script did you change the line (in my file its 103)?

Code: Select all

add_engine tinsel "Tinsel" no

to

Code: Select all

add_engine tinsel "Tinsel" yes

At least that's how I do it before I compile ScummVM through the regular unflagged make.

Code: Select all

./configure
make
./scummvm

[Lostech]

For those who want to compile the WinCE target add:

Code: Select all

ENABLE_TINSEL = STATIC_PLUGIN

or for a plugin version:

Code: Select all

ENABLE_TINSEL = DYNAMIC_PLUGIN

in the makefile which can be found in folder /backends/platform/wince.

Are you sure you compiled with --enable-tinsel?

D'oh! I'm sure I did NOT compiled with --enable-tinsel. I added --enable-tinsel to the ./configure row in debian/rules, then compiled with `make deb' but it didn't work. So I compiled manually and the game was recognized, but when I try to start it:

ok noticed a small bug which i am pretty sure doesnt happen on the original (i ran the game with VDMSound and it didnt happen so i am guessing its a new bug)
When in the dinning room at the unseen univsersity at the beginning of the game there is the man with a staff sitting at his chair firing off magic with his staff. If you look at the dragon that explodes on the table and listen for the whole sequence (without skipping) the mans staff goes blurry (as shown in the picture below) this isnt really a problem. its just a small bug i noticed and thought i should post it here. (also i am aware the dragon doesnt explode if you skip the dialog but this also happens on the original so i didnt class it as a bug)

also if this picture isnt enough i can capture it in a AVI video and upload it somwhere.

[eriktorbjorn]

the mans staff goes blurry (as shown in the picture below)

Actually, I don't see the staff at all in that picture, but I couldn't see any difference between ScummVM and DOSbox in that scene. Maybe I did it wrong. (I'm using the English version of the game with .scn files rather than .gra files.)

[ddkram]

i am also using the english version with .scn files. here is a video showing exactly what i mean. just keep your eyes on the staff. at first it looks normal and then just after the dialog about the dragon carcus finishes it disappears (sorry i cut sound out of the video but i wanted to make it as small as possible)

its a AVI video encoded with Xvid.

did you compare it to dosbox? I remember there were a few of these types of bugs in the original game in DOS
-edit- hm you compared with vdmsound so I suppose it's new?

ok found some kind of new weird error.

http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... savhx9.jpg

this happens when i try to save or load a game in the unseen uni in act2 and only when when i have that 13 saves (weird i know but if i have more saves or less saves this error doesnt happen and it also only happens in unseen uni)
this can easily be fixed by either just saving somwhere else or deleting older saves but i thought this error was worth posting here. also if you want to try to recreate this error try doing the following.

In your scummvm folder move all your saves to a different folder. Then download my saves from here and extract them to your scummvm folder
http://www.mediafire.com/?xmimyydgizz
after extracting open scummvm then load the save called
"save10 - collecting gold items" and from there just exit the "store room" where the game loads then when in the main hall bring up the games menu then click LOAD GAME and the game should crash (it happens to me no matter what settings i am using and on both of my PC's)

Just thought I'd let you know I've managed to compile Scummvm with Tinsel on a G3 iMac and Discworld is running wonderfully! Took about an hour to compile but its been worth it after waiting so long! One love! x

[TheNine]

I'll upload a redist when I can be bothered. 'make bundle' worked a treat but not sure if the 'scummvm.app' will have any dependeny issues. any mac experts here?

[clone2727]

The Mac OS X compiling page tells all.


Guys, but please, as sev has said: concentrate on release testing for now.

This should be fixed now in the latest SVN
