scummvm 0.10

[fanoush]

Hi,

just to let you know that now there is also 0.10.0 version on my site
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#scummvm

for new features check http://www.scummvm.org/?shownews=20070620.xml or NEWS file here (http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/scummvm/branches/branch-0-10-0/NEWS?view=markup)

maemo specific port changes:
- right button keybinding added to Touche engine (center keypad button)
- enabled FLAC (mainly for DXA compressed Broken Sword cutscenes with FLAC audio available on ScummVM site)

Due to new engines the executable size is now ~5MB so if you don't want to use new engines it may be better to stay with older scummvm versions as there are not many changes for older engines. Maybe newer version has more bloat and may be even slower. At least it seems that sound in Simon now stutters a lot. I think in older versions it was better.

AGI engine is also enabled (as requested here in the forum by someone) but I didn't try any game so I don't know how usable it is without real keyboard.

[earl00]

thanks. any support for sierra games?

[fanoush]

Support? Not from me ;-) But if you are asking whether Sierra AGI engine is enabled then yes, it is.

BTW, for those with hacker edition, dont miss the sound fix here https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=702&group_id=164&atid=681 ScummVM won't run without it.

I'd be interested in the patch once more, as I still want to try hooking up the directional pad to the "keyboard mouse" for Broken Sword (thread (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=52732&postcount=9)). I haven't had the time yet to try on top of the 0.9.1 patch, so now I might as well start with the current version :).

OK

Yes but you may as well start with 0.9.1 once you really have the time ;-) If 0.10 patch is still not on my site by the time you have 0.9.1 compiled and plan to make your first changes, let me know and I will make fresh patch with latest changes for 0.10.

Thanks, fanoush.

I tried playing Future Wars. It works, but there does not seem to be a way to save or restore the game.

[Sho]

@fanoush: If I do get around to scratching my itch, I'll certainly send the modification 'upstream' to you so you can include it in your package. No need to fragment into multiple distros.

Of course, if you find time before me don't hesitate to add it first ... ;)

Sorry, don't know this game. In such cases I need someone who explains to me how that game works on PC i.e. which keys and/or mouse buttons are needed for proper game operation. Also telling me how great the game is and/or where I can (legally) get it can help :-)

OK. I use Debian Linux on my desktop and the latest version of SCUMMVM is not yet available in Debian repositories. I'll try to find the time to compile a desktop version of SCUMMVM 0.10 and make a list of mouse/keyboard commands for you. As for getting the game legally, I have no idea...

Anyone know how to use the keyboard in AGI games? I cannot enter any age in LSL1 thus cannot even start. Do you have to use a bluetooth keyboard?

yes, it may be unusable without BT keyboard, see also related thread here

I think AGI engine in scummvm supports some predefined list of words and maybe can pop up this list somehow but don't know details and perhaps this won't solve everything

[jethro.itt]

OK. I've tested Future Wars on a Linux PC. I think the only addition needed for the game to be playable on internet tablets is to add a way to press F10.

The game requires left mouse button for movement (stylus taps work just fine), right mouse button for action menu but ESC and F9 work too, that's why the round arrow key on 770/N800 works already. If the menu key was mapped to F10, saving and restoring a game would be possible. While saving the game asks for a savegame name. Any characters would do, like is done with SCUMM games (AAA..., BBB...). Left mouse button is enough to enter the name and save, so the enter key is not necessary.

EDIT: An empty name appears to be just fine for a savegame, so mapping F10 is the only necessary change.

[fanoush]

If the menu key was mapped to F10, saving and restoring a game would be possible.
OK, thanks, F10 mapped to menu (=F4)

Does it support remade VGA version of LSL? It was used with mouse and didnt need keyboard.

According to Wikipedia, the new version of LSL runs on the SCI engine. SCUMMVM does not yet support SCI, only AGI.

* fix SDL backend to set mouse position also on button down event as sometimes we may not have mousemove events with touchscreen

Finally installed it... Day Of The Tentacle, Sam & Max.. At last.. Oh boy.. It has been so long time since I played those games.. :)

Broken Sword 2:

I noticed that I couldnt get to ScummVM menu when played BS2, so I couldnt save game. Havent tryed BS1 yet.

[Mika73]

BS1 doesnt save either. You cant type save games name and it wont save. Also autosave of Scumm wont work.

[fanoush]

use zoom keys to write game name (like a,aa,ab,... :-)
bs1 works, bs2 not yet, search this forum for bs1 or broken sword for whole story

I did finnish Playstation version of that game years ago.. Remember that it was quite hard.. atleast for me. But different persons at that game are fun and chat with them. :)

[stomper]

fanoush: Thank you, great work! I finished BS1 without troubles on N800. Then installed BS2 and noticed that second mouse button won't work, and also that it is not possible to enter letters in save game names, so saving does not work. I hope that you'll also fix that one :)

[fanoush]

BS2 is different engine and I'm still playing BS1 and don't have space on card for BS2 too. This means I cannot test whether keymapping changes for BS2 are correct or not. If you are impatient I guess I can do it blindly and let you test it.

Hi, yes I would like to play some BS2, so let's do it like that. Let me know when you have test version ready.

Thanks!

[desiv]

Just a thought.
It would be great if we could do custom per game button mappings.
For instance, it appears that Indy 3, the last crusade needs buttons for boxing (numeric keypad on the PC).
I know we're running out of buttons on 770 to map. :-)
I'm thinking of per game config files (or one file with sections for each game) that you can edit, not preconfigured compiled in bindings.

I'm a command line guy, so no need/desire for a GUI key mapper. :-)

I haven't tried you're custom version of scummvm yet, but I didn't notice anything about Indy 3 in it.

I'll try it with some of the other games tho. Thanx!!!
desiv

p.s. Actually, what the 770/800 needs is a pop up, manually triggerable, preferably transparent, virtual keyboard. IMHO. :-)

[cme]

Can you integrate xkbd to it
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=62748#post62748

[desiv]

Wow. I hadn't seen the xkbd version for the 770.
(I had seen info on using it for remote X)

That looks great!

So, I take it I need the load applet run thing to launch it? That might be a retorical question. I'm on a PC now with no WiFi around, so I'll have to wait to test it.

Those pics in the thread look great. I'll let you know if the numbers work in Indy3 (the faq for Indy3 said numeric keypad, so???)

Thanx!!!!

desiv
update - xkbd won't install on my 770 w/ it2006. i'll check dependencies next....
update 2 - Got it! Had to apt-get libxpm4 first.
Boxing in indy 4 works!!!
using xkbd now!

[desiv]

xkbd works great. It's the solution.
Should work in remote X apps too.
Q: I am using load-applet-run to launch xkbd. How do I delete entries in load-applet-run ? I haven't found the config yet....
Thanks
desiv

[cme]

using gconfig editor:
apps->loadplugin

[desiv]

Thanx,
Loaded gconf-editor, but I started getting lockups/reboots in Opera. When browsing this site.
I uninstalled load-applet-run and it seems better, at least in my exhausting 5 minutes of testing. :)
I'll run xkbd from the shell for a bit.
(Interesting, Maemo mappe, which I've been running today, didn't lockup. But Opera definately, even after clearing the cache.)

Thanx again

Hi, SummVM works great. I never expected that it would full throttle at full framerate on my n800. I love that game although there is a problem with the keymapping. In the beginning you'll have to fight another bike while driving. When the scene starts you see the hand icon but as soon as you touch the screen it switches to kicking, making it almost impossible to win the scene. Is there any way to switch weapons in bikefights? I pressed every button on the device but nothing has worked so far.

Thanks

How it is done when playing on PC? What keys/buttons need to be pressed and how?

[vlaktor]

Normally you switch weapons with the right mouse button, left mouse is used for attack.

What's strange is that on the N800 in the beginning of the scene the fist is selected but after the talking it automaticly switches from fist to foot, and then you can kick with the pen tap, pressing the centerdpad does nothing while it should switch.

The rest of the full throttle controls in the port are fine as far as i can see.

Thanks for the prompt response and keep up the good work ;)

That's strange. I would need to look at the source if there is any special key handling for FT (maybe even related to this scene), this will take a while. Did you try also in scummvm on PC? Does it work there?

[vlaktor]

jup, it works on the pc scummvm as it should. i've tested it.

[vlaktor]

i've tested it again on the n800 seems that i was wrong. you can switch your weapon the first time(it changes from punch to kick) with the right mouse(dpad center) but after that your unable to switch back to punch, the center dpad does nothing. on the pc version it does switch back.

i also know that the bike fighting scene's use another engine than the normal click and play engine used in full throttle and other lucasarts games.

thanks.

Seems like this version of scumm supports predictive keyboard input, so xkbd isn't even needed for text input.

All that's required is copying the file pre.dict to some directory and then pointing the scummvm extras path there using the options.

afterwards, clicking on the text input line in an agi game spawns a predictive, cell phone style keyboard (which works well in fullscreen mode).

[fanoush]

Hi,

there is an update related to Broken Sword 2 and Full Throttle, can someone test it and report if those two games are better? I hope there are no additional bugs introduced. Also source was updated to latest code from 0.10 branch which may fix some bugs (see NEWS (http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/scummvm/branches/branch-0-10-0/NEWS?view=markup))

http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/scummvm_0.10.0-3_armel.deb

* SCUMM - added mapping also for key up events (may fix right button press/release in FT?)
* SWORD2 - added right button press mapping (not tested)

[Ald]

The game Goblins Quest 3 has what I suspect is a copy-protection screen at the beginning, where you must choose one of a selection of numbers before proceeding. In most copies, any number will do, but this isn't possible without using an external keyboard.

Would the pre.dict file be able to help here, or would another +/- key patch be required for gob3?

[fanoush]

http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/scummvm_0.10.0-4_armel.deb

* AGI - added pred.dic to DATA_PATH (=/usr/share/scummvm) to enable
predictive input

This update only packages pred.dic file so the keyboard in AGI games work out of box, no other change done.

And before you ask - no the keyboard cannot be used for anything else than AGI games, it is a feature of AGI engine itself.

The VGA version uses SCI, so you need an sci emulator (http://pupnik.de/freesci.html). ScummVM can only play the old AGI version.

How about Larry 1 VGA version? It could be played with stylus.

like choosing wich key make right/left clic and menu button?

Generic keymapper is in the pipeline in scummvm project but not yet ready for 0.11.0 (which is just around the corner). So not in next release but perhaps sometime in relatively near future (0.12?).


I don't know if you know but the integred keyboard works completely whene tapin a name in sav message box.
Yes, I hoped so. I also hope I will test it with my own N810 real soon :-)

[fanoush]

As you may already know ScummVM is approaching 0.11.0. Yesterday it was tagged in SVN and release will be in next few days (on Tuesday?). Good news is that maemo port is now committed to scumvm SVN and will be part of official 0.11.0 source at www.scummvm.org (once it is available). It still is a bit dirty so most of it is committed as a patch. Making it more clean is work for 0.12 when we will hopefully have generic keymapper (with GUI) in scummvm for all engines and platforms.

You can get the binary compiled from 0.11 SVN branch here
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/scummvm_0.11.0-0_armel.deb
Please test it if you can and report issues here. This becomes the official release version if no serious bug is found. I will replace 0.10 version in extras repository and downloads.maemo.org when it is officialy released at www.scummvm.org.

If anyone has troubles with recompiling the source let me know. Also if you have no troubles but want to help with the port, let me know too :-)

Yes, the menu is on the keyboard part and therefore quite difficult to reach

[fanoush]

Yes, the menu is on the keyboard part and therefore quite difficult to reach
I see. The center key sends 'Enter' keycode so when I remap it to right click it is impossible to press enter in save game dialog. I had no time to examine Lure engine in detail and tweak it in save dialog back to enter. Yesterday I finally tried Broken Sword 2 and noticed you cannot save game since you cannot enter save game name (770,N800) so there will be 0.11.0-1 with this fix at least. I'll see what can be done for Lure.

[fanoush]

When thinking about this (not having N810) the center key is on keyboard too, how this is any better? Wouldn't it be better to have right click mapped to one of those zoom keys? Even for all engines when running on N810? Or maybe move escape key to such zoom key and put right click to escape key? Any opinions of hardcore scummvm gamer with N810 on this matter?

I vote for Right click being place on one of the Zoom keys :) My, not too distant 2nd choice would be Right click on the Escape key and moving Escape to a Zoom key. Thanks :)

And I just tried the Menu key for Right click & I'm just not getting it to work :o What exactly do I need to be doing? In particular I'm stuck in the very first part of the game - in the dungeon and I want to take/use the torch. Wouldn't that be a Right-Click action?

[fanoush]

Yes, when you have cursor changed to cross and it says 'Torch' in upper left corner you can right-click and on the left you should see menu with commands 'Get' and 'Pull'. That's how it works with 770 and N800 when I press menu key.

BTW does menu key work in other engines (scumm,fotaq)?

[fanoush]

I vote for Right click being place on one of the Zoom keys :) My, not too distant 2nd choice would be Right click on the Escape key and moving Escape to a Zoom key. Thanks :)
I guess I could set right click to right zoom key (+?) and also use left zoom key for menu key. Those keys are used on 770 an N800 for generating letters in savegame names and copy protection entry (in monkey2), with N810 you can enter this on keyboard so zoom keys are free.

[Duncan]

Yesterday I finished playing DoTT on the tablet, so I went and dug out my copy of Monkey Island 2 and copied that across. I checked that it seemed to run ok.

This evening when I try to run it I just get a text screen with very small print (something like script 150 not in room 100, but the numbers are too small to see clearly). DoTT, Maniac Mansion and Beneath a Steel Sky all still run fine.

I guess I must have changed something, but I have no idea what. Any suggestions?

scummvm (0.11.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

* theme files added back
* SWORD2,SAGA - added zoom keys =1/2 for saved games
* different mapping for N810 rightclick=zoom-,menu=zoom+ (currently only in LURE)
* added NEWS README COPYRIGHT do doc dir as per scummvm project guidelines


So now with N810 and Lure menu button and one of the zoom keys are swapped so right click is on zoom key (not sure which one :-)

Also saving games in Broken Sword 2 and I Have No Mouth should work now without keyboard (770 and N800).

No problem. For Broken Sword remember to get DXA compresed cutscenes from http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php#extras or you won't see any. List of all other data files needed is here http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles#Broken_Sword_1:_The_Shadow_of_the_Templa rs

BTW my N810 developer device is finally on the way to me :-) Once I get it I will do rest of N810 specific keybindings for other scummvm engines.

Greetings fanoush!

Just a couple of quick questions for you.

First, is this latest port only good for the OS 2008 system?
I'm still having anxiety issues on upgrading based on some of the other user's posts here at this forum.

Second, in this release, does it have the same, exact compatibility with this page?
http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility.php

I'm curious if it will run Backyard Football, that's why I'm asking this.

Lastly, can the PC saves files be used interchangably with the Maemo version.

Thank you so much for the work you have put into this project!

Many thanks indeed! :)

You can run scummvm from osso-xterm
/usr/games/bin/scummvm
post what you see there when it crashes. When it crashes? Some specific scene?

It crashes when i load the game.
The message is:

scummvm.bin: engines/sword2/resman.cpp:442: void Sword2::ResourceManager::readCluIndex(uint16, Common::File*): Assertion `(tableSize % 8) == 0' failed.
Aborted

I've been able to load the game with this command line:
scummvm -d 2 sword2

But it doesn't work with the gui load.

[fanoush]

I would guess incomplete or corrupted game copy but if you say -d 2 (which only changes debug level output verbosity) cures it then I don't know. Just try to copy from CDs again.
Also I wonder how the error
scummvm.bin: engines/sword2/resman.cpp:442: void Sword2::ResourceManager::readCluIndex(uint16, Common::File*): Assertion `(tableSize % 8) == 0' failed.
can go away with -d 2, there should be no chance. It fails because the datafile contain unexpected and invalid values.

[tikismoke]

I copy them twice and it did'nt change anything.

it also work in command line without the -d 2 option.

[fanoush]

it also work in command line without the -d 2 option.
So you may try to remove it from GUI, add it again and make sure you pick correct game version (language, demo/full).

Just loaded up 0.11 on my N800 OS2008 and installed BW1. Game runs fine but I don't get any input for the save game screen using the + and - keys. I had to attach a USB keyboard to create some save game files.

Problem with my system or a bug in new build?

BTW the title of this thread is Scummvm 0.10; should we create a new thread for 0.11?

[fanoush]

Sorry but what is BW1?

[Rocketman]

Yeah, I can't think of a game for Scumm that has those initials? Maybe he was typing quickly and hit a w instead of s, which would probably make the reference to Broken Sword 1.

[fanoush]

Don't have N800 around to test right now (and the mapping is different for N810) but just make sure you have the latest 0.11.0-1 from maemo downloads or chinook extras, not the older -0 one from www.scummvm.org

Yep!

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars

I am using 0.11.0-1 from Application manager.

[fanoush]

Just checked with N800 and indeed Broken Sword 1 save dialog is broken :-) Will fix. BS2 works fine.

[fanoush]

OK, try this http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/scummvm_0.11.0-2_armel.deb

scummvm (0.11.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

* mapping for N800/770: zoom+ = y, zoom- = 1 for all games
this fixes save dialog in BS1 and also allows to exit some games via 'y'
* mapping for N810: zoom- = right click for all games
* updated from upstream 0.11.x branch (bug fixes)

If nobody reports serious bug I will update package in repository too

There seems to be quite a change between 0.11.0-1 and 0.11.0-2: playing Curse of Monkey Island with 0.11.0-1 there is a cut-scene at the start of act 3 which reliably bombs out (so I played past that point on windows and copied the save file back). 0.11.0-2 on the other hand is fine with this cut-scene but if you run scummvm from xterm is repeatedly complaining about WARNING: ImuseDigiSndMgr::prepareSoundFromRMAP: Wrong version of compressed *.bun file, expected 3, but it's 2.!
WARNING: Suggested to recompress with latest tool from daily builds.!
So has this ever so minor change really changed the format of compressed files it expects, and does it matter if I don't bother recompressing everything? (supplemental question: how do I stop the forum interpreting : p as a smiley)

Yes, this is part of bugfixes merged from 0.11 branch, this will be part of 0.11.1, see
NEWS (http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/scummvm/branches/branch-0-11-0/NEWS?revision=30713&view=markup) there are changes to iMUSE. As for recompression - I dont know what new format gives us.

As for smileys - there is checkbox in post form.
