You need to add the boot_param=x option to your game profile in the INI configuration file. Replace 'x' with the appropriate number. If memory serves me right:

0=standard
1=novice
2=expert

Is there a plan to mak ethe choice from the start of the game? This sounds a bit complicated...

No, and i don't if it's possible to add this option at some ScummVM release

On mac :
It's in library/Preferences/SummVM Preferences

"SummVM Preferences" is a script with all you option and path when you see "Loom (Fm Towns)" just copy:

boot_param=x

and replace X by your difficulty level.

Well, I suppose you could add a check to the part of ScummVM that checks for the boot param setting, i.e. ScummEngine::ScummEngine(). Something like this, I guess:

Code: Select all

if &#40;_game.id == GID_LOOM && _game.platform == Common&#58;&#58;kPlatformFMTowns&#41; &#123;
    if &#40;!ConfMan.hasKey&#40;"boot_param"&#41;&#41; &#123;
        _bootParam = displaySomeGUIDialogHere&#40; ... &#41;;
    &#125;
&#125;

Though it should be possible to specify a boot param as a command-line option to ScummVM, so you could probably simply set up different shortcuts to the game.

But I don't have this version of the game, so I don't know.
