Yes, the bulk of the detection list does come from the agsarchive torrent. To aid in setting up the detection list, I created a "game scanner" within the engine as a special mode. It scans through a given folder and all subdirectories, and builds up a list of any unknown AGS games. It also extracts their game title from within the game itself, which is why some game names in the list are off from what's expected. The author's haven't always been pedantic about updating their names before release. So building the list based on the torrent was easier than downloading games from the website one at a time.EctoOne wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:42 am First, thanks for implementing the ags engine.
Now for a question. Am I correct in the assumption that the detection details are mostly based on the versions which are included in the agsarchive torrent (or similar collection)?
I'm asking because I had some problems with some game's which I recently got from the ags website directly. And after I've decided to get some versions from the archive, the issues were gone.
I did a bit of an experimentation, and realized that since the website version doesn't have a known detection, if you select the "Lonkey Island Unknown Variant" entry rather than "Adventure Game Studio Game" entry, then it does invalid prevent the game from starting up afterwards. I'm not quite sure why; I'll have to look into it further.EctoOne wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:42 am An example would be The Tale of Lonkey Island (short: lonkey.exe). It seems that the version from the archive is an older one. Sorry, I tried to figure out which version exactly but I wasn't able to find that information. The currently available version on the ags website is 1.2.https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/s ... ey-island/
Which is recognized as:But even after adding it anyway, no game files can be found.Code: Select all
The game in 'lonkey' seems to be an unknown game variant. Matched game IDs for the ags engine: lonkeyisland {"lonkey.exe", 0, "4e92c6db88a34b62eef37a621aabfb53", 44114957},
I'll correct the detection list accordingly. Thanks.EctoOne wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:42 am Something else I want to mention about that particular game. I currently just gets recognized as: Lonkey Island.
But if it is possible, I think it should be: The Tale of Lonkey Island.
That's what the title screen says and after all it is a parody of The Secret of Monkey Island.
This sounds like a bug in the ScummVM language selection option that was added (in the Engine tab). I've posted a bug report for it.
Thanks
I'm not sure what you mean?
I've updated the game Id accordinglyEctoOne wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:42 am And I believe the detection for Leisure Suit Larry 2 Point and Click is mixed up. Firstly, I'm not sure if a normal Remake of that game exists. I've only seen the Point and Click version. But, again, the archive version simply gets recognized as a lsl2remake and IIRC the version from the website let's us choose between remake and point and click (or it adds both when using mass add) but selecting point and click will end in error.
Thanks for pointing out the confusion. I've separated the entry out.EctoOne wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:42 am Regarding Zak2. I understand that it is not supported because of some additional plugin. But the detection table also counts THE FAN GAME - ZAK MCKRACKEN : A MANSION, A METEOR AND THE ALIEN MINDBENDERS as unsupported. But I think those are different games. I have not played them, so I am not sure, but THE FAN GAME - ZAK MCKRACKEN : A MANSION, A METEOR AND THE ALIEN MINDBENDERS does not have the plugin in the download. It can be found here: https://danielespadoni82.blogspot.com/2 ... eteor.html
Added it in.EctoOne wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:42 am Speaking of The Fan Game. It seems one game is completely missing. https://danielespadoni82.blogspot.com/2 ... onies.html
That was it so far. And I apologize if this is not the best way to report such things, but I'm currently not prepared to use github or whatever else.
