ScummVM 0.13.0 "More Guests" enter(s) the house

Post by **sev** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 11:43 pm

As we turned to a 6 months release cycle, here is our newest and best ScummVM version for you!

A couple of new engines were added, and besides 2 Humongous Entertainment titles, we now support The 7th Guest and Bud Tucker in Double Trouble.

Among other notable things there is a completely new vector-based GUI, which is a merged work of our last year GSoC student Vicent Marti, as well as a General Main Menu which adds a common save/load interface to most of our engines, adding the much awaited Return to Launcher feature along the way. It was the work of another successful student, Chris Page.

A complete list of new games and features can be found in the release notes, and the latest ScummVM version itself (available for a large number of platforms as usual) is located at the downloads page.

Let's play!

Thanks guys! Keep up the great work. I love the new load feature on the launcher by the way.

Just one question: what do you have to do to be taken back to the launcher once you've quit a game?

It keeps getting better and better!

Thanks!

Thanks for the new version!

The load feature is really nifty. Especially with the screenshot. Would be nice if there would be some kind of pre-view screenshots for the games as well.

Good release! I'm glad these games are officially supported, specially The 7th Guest, which I really like.

One question, where do I find the "Return to Launcher" feature? It doesn't appear in the F5 menu.

Ctrl+F5

Ok, thanks a lot.

Is there a Reason, why it is not in the regular F5 Menu?

My guess would be that it's because not all engines support saving/loading from the Ctrl+F5 menu. I vaguely remember hearing that it was impossible for some engines. For others, it's probably possible but not entirely non-trivial. (For instance, I tried to add save/load support for Broken Sword 2 once, but loading games caused ScummVM to crash. I haven't made any further attempts since then.)

Thanks for another great release! I'm always periodically checking to see what you guys are up to and you never disappoint. But I have a question about 0.13.0. In the description you said a couple new engines were added. Does that mean future support for a completely new series of games? If so, which games?

Very nice...but I can't find my 7th Guest CDs! ARGH
