Making ResidualVM portable and a config file

[Fr3ddyL0ck]

Hello, i want to know how to make residual portable (what are the required files) and how to create a config file (what parameters can be used in the file and the structure of the file) for run grim fandango, thanks. Sorry if my english is bad.

On Windows? Well, I thought it WAS portable, just copy the folder (Since you really need the Grim-data too, the extra megabyte or so of stuff shouldnt matter in the long run, you can delete GRIM.EXE from your data-folder though.

But, in fairness, probably just about everything that isnt a textfile is necessary.

What MIGHT get kinda hairy is the config-file, just look at the one you get after adding a game, that contains more or less every setting you could want, except for debug-mode. (But, changing it to something portable, might prove a challenge).

Thanks for reply. Yes, on windows, i already have a game added, but i cant find the config file, i read the wiki but the file isn't in the folder indicated, can someone copy & paste the contente of the file in a post so i can see how is it? Thanks.

This is my residualrc

Code: Select all

[residual]
lastselectedgame=grim-win-it
browser_lastpath=/home/giulio/grim
versioninfo=0.0.7gite793115-dirty

[grim-win-it]
description=Grim Fandango (Windows/Italian)
speech_volume=127
game_devel_mode=TRUE
last_set=mo.set
savepath=/home/giulio/.residual
soft_renderer=false
path=/home/giulio/grim
engine_speed=33
fullscreen=false
gameid=grim
language=it
speech_mode=3
sfx_volume=127
music_volume=127
show_fps=false
platform=windows
last_saved_game=grim01.gsv
guioptions=sndNoMIDI lang_Italian

[grimdemo-win]
description=Grim Fandango Demo (Windows/English)
path=/home/giulio/grim/demo
gameid=grim
language=en
platform=windows
guioptions=sndNoMIDI lang_English

By the way, residual has a -c (in windows probably /c) option you can use to specify an alternate path for the config file.

Thanks, the game runs well. Only a thing, is there a way to run the game emulated without the cmd window?
