You know, there's nothing at all stopping you from using a multi-button mouse. I have a bluetooth Logitech mouse for my Mac and worms haven't devored my entrails even a little bit.

English isn't my native tongue, so I can't really judge the prose that well...Still, both Deadline and The Witness impressed me with the way the human characters were handled. Then I guess the best way to put it is that the prose of the Witness is a little bit juvenile compared to Hammett, et al. D...

So...what is the specified directory and is it the same one you put DW1 into? I know, a potentially insulting question but but it has to be asked. I'm assuming you have successfully been using ScummVM with other games but the message you're getting suggests to me one of two things: first is that you...

I think you're probably right about it being platform-specific, with a sneaky suspicion Residual is a partial culprit since it's so alpha. Still, it was being run in software mode so I'd be really interested in what good, if any, making the config change I suggested makes for him. As for the Ubuntu ...

Perception is a funny thing. I remember Witness as being a very well done detective story when I first played it. Many years later I started it again using Frotz and it seemed so badly written from a prose standpoint. What had happened in the intervening years was that I had gotten familiar with Das...

I think you're a little too sanguine about proprietary drivers and Linux. And more than a little about software rendering when the weirdness is there for all to see in those screenshots.

I think pretty much everything is still be working on with Residual. As for the funky graphics with Gamermakerman's Debian build...I can't help but notice that the window's title bar announces that the graphics are being rendered in software mode. Assuming that OpenGL is even available on that syste...

I doubt very much it's the game. I know nothing specifically about your Symbian but surely there are config options for joystick mode. I bet there's an auto-click setting that just needs disabling.

You really should have copied all the needed files onto your hard drive (renaming the files that need to be renamed). Just see the wiki for what you need to do.

i just got my friend to send me the release from the 6th... he says discworld 2 works fine... i tried mine on that SVN still wasn't recogniced... If you're using the daily builds, that would be the reason why you can't get DW2 to work. The Tinsel game engine is disabled by default, which means that...

Looks like the problem is actually on the SDL side of things (which explains why Exult, Pentagram and other things which all use SDL have crackling sound in Fedora 10). A bug report was submitted in the SDL bug tracker a few days ago about it (see: http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698 if i...
