ScummVM IRC Log - 13 Jun 2016

[Back to Index]

[00:04] <snover> [md5]: do you remember what version of what game has audio/sync patches?
[00:06] <snover> sci32 seems to allow S and T as prefixes for these, but those prefixes are catching on things like& SCIDLLWS.DLL
[00:07] <snover> so im trying to figure out if it even matters.
[00:13] <-- K4T left irc:
[00:38] --> jammm joined #scummvm.
[00:41] <-- jammmm left irc: Ping timeout: 246 seconds
[00:47] <[md5]> snover: sorry, I'm half asleep
[00:47] <[md5]> hm
[00:48] <[md5]> are these even working as patches?
[00:48] <[md5]> I mean the DLL files
[00:48] <snover> it finds them and then complains
[00:48] <[md5]> ah, right
[00:49] <[md5]> just a minute
[00:51] <-- echelog-1 left irc: Remote host closed the connection
[00:51] --> echelog-1 joined #scummvm.
[00:54] <[md5]> Lighthouse has some of these
[00:54] <[md5]> in its PATCHES folder
[00:54] <[md5]> RAMA too
[00:55] <snover> i guess the problem is that the original games would look at only files in the configured patchDir, but scummvm is looking wherever
[00:56] <[md5]> theoretically, patches can be placed anywhere
[00:56] <[md5]> but these patches have non-standard names
[00:57] <snover> the S#######.### ones?
[00:59] <[md5]> yeah
[00:59] <[md5]> well, they are not xxx.v56
[00:59] <[md5]> or xxx.scr
[00:59] <snover> sci16 used # and @, sci32 (at least 2.1 and later) uses A B and S T and only looks in resource.cfg patchDir
[00:59] <snover> (2.1mid*)
[01:00] <[md5]> these were not really used often
[01:00] <[md5]> I mean voice patches
[01:01] <[md5]> I've personally seen then quite rarely
[01:01] <snover> well, as you correctly note, they are used by some SCI3 games
[01:01] <[md5]> but if the original executables checked specific folders, then we should do that too
[01:02] <[md5]> then=them
[01:02] <[md5]> I think it's safe to say that these are mostly used by SCI3 games
[01:03] <[md5]> (as most of the exotic stuff)
[01:03] <snover> i guess it will be necessary to have a list of patchDirs for each game since that is written out when the installer runs
[01:03] <[md5]> anyway
[01:03] <[md5]> I'm half asleep
[01:03] <[md5]> nn! :)

[12:27] <Strangerke|work> :(
[12:28] <m_kiewitz> yeah, i thought maybe one of those other releases would show up in proper condition, but it seems the box is ruined in all cases

[20:02] <snover> uh, everywhere. that was kind of obvious in retrospect, except i messed up when writing the play function& :)
[20:10] --> LyTchet joined #scummvm.
[20:22] <blorente> Anyone got time for a C++ doubt? I need some sort of container to load an arbitrary amount of data (known at runtime). The code in question is in lines 36 and 37 of this file (http://pastebin.com/QK5bnHAZ).
[20:22] <blorente> One (bad) solution is to accept a void pointer as a parameter, and read into it, and assume it's properly initialized from the calling side
[20:23] <blorente> Otherwise, I have no idea on how ContainerItem should look
[20:26] <snover> what kind of data exactly is this container/containeritem storing?
[20:27] <blorente> This format is used for everything from game object attributes to graphics and sounds
[20:28] <snover> std::vector (Common::Array) is typically a reasonable default choice for a growable container
[20:28] <blorente> But for that you must know the length of the element you want, don't you?
[20:28] <blorente> or at least the type
[20:29] <blorente> Actually, I could just make the Container accept a template
[20:29] LyTchet (alexandre@host-95-182-242-222.dynamic.voo.be) left #scummvm.
[20:30] <blorente> It's not that crazy, is it?
[20:30] <snover> well if it is just a block of data, then the type would probably be `char`
[20:31] <-- Cruel` left irc: Quit: Leaving
[20:31] --> Herrman joined #scummvm.
[20:32] <blorente> Hmm, yes, that might work. I think I'll give the template idea a spin, and if it doesn't work I'll use char*
[20:32] <blorente> thanks :)
