While we are at this, I think we should redo our descumm / dump-resource system.
The dumpResource function should but a fixed prefix to the file it creates, which contains a magic id followed by a header length (i.e. the same chunk format scumm uses :-), then scummvm version, the gameid, and possibly other information. This would allow us to merge the descumm tools: based on the file header, the right descumm version could be used; furthermore, it would be much nicer to make game specific adjustments (like the GF_OLD_BUNDLE etc. adjustments).
What do you think?

If you were to do this you would need another tool to attach headers to files that don't come from scummvm. For people who extract scripts with scummrev and various other tools/make their own etc.
The version of scummvm has no place in a header for dumped files in my opinion. Maybe you meant the scumm version?

Accepted with some mods.
Khalek, I meant a "version" for the header - in case we want to add more fields in the future. The reason for a magic id at the start is that if it's missing, we can still fall back to the old behaviour.
Still, most people will dump scripts with scummvm directly, I think, and for those (e.g. me :-) this would be very helpful... also would make developing descumm a bit easier. We could merge all the tools, too.
