Great news. I assume that whatever FreeSCI supports, should work in ScummVM.[/url]

I think that is a dangerous assumption. I wouldn't expect extensive compatibility for at least 6-8 months, probably more. Definitely great news though. I just hope Codename Iceman is playable someday. Timer issues make it nigh-uncompletable even in dosbox, which scummvm would likely fix. Been waiting years to finish that.

Thanks so much for all the people who made this possible. I'm really happy about this... :)

Most attentive users who watch our development list perhaps noticed that there exists yet another SCI1 engine implementation made from scratch. But for the benefit of everyone it was decided that the joint effort is much better.
Just for my interest: Is this an effort separate from the original FreeSCI team? I mean will the original FreeSCI team continue working on their own non-ScummVM-framework? Or will they practically join the ScummVM team?

Thanks!

This is the best news I heard in this new year so far! Another nostalgic dream to come true. Thanks a lot ScummVM and FreeSCI teams! Time to rip out my Space Quest: Collection Series and play a little Astro Chicken in ScummVM :mrgreen:

Weird question. Of course. Yes, no and yes.

It's not that weird a question. I mean it would have been a possible scenario that the original FreeSCI devs just agreed to let ScummVM use their code, but that they themselves didn't want to move to the ScummVM framework.

I'm happy to hear that this is not the case. The original FreeSCI devs working directly within the ScummVM framework is what I was always hoping for. Thanks! :P

I agree with madshi, same question came to my mind. (which does not mean this question is not weird ;))

I still can't believe it. I've been reading this forum for years and I never even registered because the question I always wanted to ask was already being asked every some time: "Will we ever see SCI games in ScummVM?"

And the answer used to be "Probably not".

I want to congratulate you all for the good health of this project, for all the advancements made and for those that are to come.

Really, thanks a lot.

Ahem. These do not belong here. Probably on our bugtracker, but not at this moment. The engine is not supported.

Hi,

The line

Code: Select all

CXXFLAGS += -Wno-variadic-macros
of the sci's module.mk is not compatible whith cygwin.

It is related to some hacks in code... could anyone elaborate on this? I would like to know what I'm editing...

Thanks

Depends on wether someone implements support for it or not:P But GK 1 uses SCI1 methinks, so yes, there is a chance that in some point in time it will be supported.
