COMI Pirate Song in other languages: an idea!

Post by Alby87 »

Hi! For first, I want to thanks all people working on ScummVM project :)

Most of you know the "problem" with the pirate song: works okay in an american context, but in other languages it was scrapped. But the audio is right here (in english, better than whole section cutted).

Before, in ScummVM, it was possible to hear the song also for international users: now, for the sake of faithfullness, it was again removed.

I was minding: now that internet and fantraslation are at the order of the day, I ask you if is possible to modify ScummVM to load two TAB files: one main LANGUAGE.TAB file, and one small file, like PIRSNG<Language code>.TAB, who can hold only the fan traslated song, and let the game show the song sequence?

The idea is creating, with help from foreigners COMI fans, the files like PIRSNGIT.TAB, PIRSNGDE.TAB, PIRSNGFR.TAB, PIRSNGSP.TAB, etc. wich can be downloaded from SCUMMVM site, and let the program doing this:

IF Game==COMI and Language==IT
then load LANGUAGE.TAB and load PIRSNGIT.TAB and
PirateSongScene=true;

Hope I explained well myself :D
