The 7th Guest in German?

[Stevie]

Hey all,

I've just copied over the GOG files from the remastered version of 7th Guest. The game launches, but the game seems to play in English only.
Is there a way to change it to German or will that need some hacking?

1) ScummVM only supports the legacy version of The 7 Guest but not The 7th Guest: 25th Anniversary Edition.
2) The German (legacy) version of The 7 Guest (Hint: Sky du Mont as narrator) was only available for CD-i and is not supported by ScummVM (different engine).

25th Anniversary Edition' features:

• A lot of extras:
  • Legacy Editions as FREE downloadable content (DLCs) for Windows, macOS and Linux (English voice-acting only)

In addition to what WindlePoons wrote, MojoTouch used and modified ScummVM for the 25th Anniversary Edition, and their changes to the source code is available on http://mojo-touch.com/gpl. So if a developer interested in this and with some time on his hands wants to have a look, it should not be too complicated to add support for the multi-lingual version, and I think a pull request will be well received (if the submitted source code changes are clean enough).

That's indeed a brilliant idea! Would it make sense to make an FR on Github or are the devs monitoring this forum?

@Stevie

FR preferrably...this forum tends to forget.
In addition a Pull Request would be more than welcomed

[Stevie]

Awesome, will take care of it
EDIT:
I'm a bit overwhelmed by the guidelines. A pull request is more of a piece of code to implement, right?
FRs aren't accepted there, unless I completely misunderstand.

Correct. PRs are implemented code you want to have merged into in the project. FRs are done via bugs.scummvm.org - you go to create a new ticket, and choose a type of "Enhancement".

Thanks for the heads up @dreammaster. Filed the FR!
