INDY3 FM-TOWNS: Modified version does not start

Reported by: SF/zoppologo Owned by: fingolfin
Priority: low Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Indiana Jones 3

Description

I'm using the last scummvm svn (2007-11-30) under windows vista, but the problem is there since one of the first 0.11 builds:

i'm trying to play a modified version of INDY3 FM-TOWNS (translated from english into italian by a patch). ScummVM can't run it, it says 'Tryin to start game..." and it stops (i have to force scummvm to close).

The 0.10 version runs it fine.

Hi, I'm the author of this patch (that it's still in work-in-progress status, but it's near its conclusion), I've used ScummTR (www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=118680) to make it and it has always worked with 0.10 version of ScummVM

OK, so we may have to improve the auto detector. Can you run it with -d1 and tell us the full output? I.e.

./scummvm -d1 TARGETNAME

comment:6 by SF/zoppologo, 17 years ago

if i run it with scummvm -d1 indy3 it just says:

Debuglevel (from command line): 1 Output sample rate: 22050 Hz Looking for indy3 Trying to start game 'Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade'

and then stops

Have you tried manually setting the platform to "fmtowns" (via. the "Edit game" dialog) ?

comment:8 by SF/glorifindel, 17 years ago

I've got the same result of zoppologo, and game platform is set to FM-TOWNS

comment:9 by SF/zoppologo, 17 years ago

the same happens with a french patch

comment:10 by fingolfin, 17 years ago

Odd. So, where can i get those patches? Preferably in a format which I can apply on my Mac, I don't have a Windows machine so I have a hard time running .exe files. Unless they are supported by DOSBox, that is...

comment:11 by SF/glorifindel, 17 years ago

I've made several b-diff files (binary diff files), one for each LFL, I hope you manage to update the game in your OS... 00.bdf = differences between original 00.LFL and patched 00.LFL etc

I've use this DOS tool: www.programmersheaven.com/download/3103/download.aspx

I'll try to look into this during the weekend.

comment:15 by fingolfin, 17 years ago

For the future, I recommend you use e.g. bsdiff (http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/; there is also a Win32 version linked from there) for generating binary patches. The problem with "bdiff" is that there are a dozen or so programs under that name, each incompatible to the others. Your particular bdiff seems to be MS-DOS only. I'll try and see whether I can run it under DOSBox, though.

Bug fixed! A *very* stupid mistake in the detector code which slipped through for far too long. Thanks for the report!
