ScummVM source, where's that string ?

Post by saulob »

Ok, I don't know where I can ask for help on it.

It's all fine, the compiling stuff, I just can't find one text string/label... Everything working fine. Thanks for the Wiki page on compiling Scummvm :)

Right now i'm translating ScummVM (other topic about it), right now i'm at 99%, just need to find some strings...

I'm searching for the 'Game Paused. Press SPACE to continue.' string...

I found it on the 'dialogs.cpp' file inside the scumm folder from the source.

Edited, compiled scummvm, tried, and it's fine... but only on games with scumm versions 1 and 2 (tried with Maniac Mansion Original and Enhanced)

Check the pictures, everything is fine.

But, on games with other scumm versions, the english string/label still there... check it out

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (FM-TOWNS) / scumm v3:

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade / scumm v3 (strange thing is that this is v3 and it's not the same one from the Zak game, it's SPACEBAR not just SPACE):

LOOM (256 color CD version) / v4:

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's revenge / v5:

v6, v7 and v8 the same :(

Ok, I searched this text on all the files inside the sourcecode, no luck... I found all the other english texts, everything. No problem at all... The only thing left are these PAUSED texts.

So, are these texts inside the game code ?
If not, where's it ? Where can I edit it ?

Thanks!!!

(If i'm on the wrong section of the forum, tell me.)

These strings are in game scripts, i.e. in game data.

I could be wrong, but I think that for most SCUMM games, ScummVM gets that text from the game data file. So if the game is in English, the pause text will be as well.
