1.7.0 Supports Steam versions of SCUMM adventures?
Looking at the release notes for 1.7 it says support was added for the Steam releases of The Dig, Loom, and the Indy adventures. Despite this, when I point ScummmVM to the datafiles it still doesn't recognize a game in there. Am I doing something wrong?
Is this the Windows or Mac version of the steam games?
Both should work, but I can only confirm that it works with the Mac versions. For those, when adding the game to ScummVM you need to select the .app bundle (e.g. Loom.app, do not navigate inside the bundle to the Resource directory).
Otherwise do you get a message in the console when trying to add those games?
Note: the game executable from the steam version is necessary as one of the game data file is included in it. So you need more than just the data files.

It's the Windows version I was trying to play. I was finally able to make it show up by directing it to the Steam game folder rather than the folder containing the game's datafiles. I knew that some of the datafiles were missing from this release, but I didn't know until now that they packed the missing files into the game's EXE! Very tricky. Thanks for the help, anyways!
