Actually, this is perfectly legal :). The only requirement under the GPL, is that they provide the source code used to compile the binaries, if requested by someone who bought the product. Presumably they just used a release version of ScummVM, so that wouldn't even be an issue. This is a good thing...

ScummVM should compile fine in both Visual Studio and MingW. Unsure about Dev-C though.

And there's nothing wrong with Visual Studio . I'm a Linux person myself (usually), but Visual Studio is the only thing I really -miss- from the Windows world.

Those screenshots were located on an abandonware site, I'm afraid (Hence breaking rule 0). If you want to link to them, please host them somewhere else .

That said, I love Larry Niven's universe, though I haven't played these games myself. Would be interesting to take a look at some point.

Maybe that's a bug to fix

It's on my list.

Not too high up though

In the meantime:

Hit 'd' to enter the debug console, then enter 'settimercountdown 5 <somenumber>'. 5 is default, lower is faster.

Excellent!

We're going to have to objectify the Kyra engine at some point anyway in preparation for HoF, if Toonstruck uses a fairly similar engine we'd have a good common base for it.

I've noticed that there is text skipping in the code (by left clicking or pessing ".") but it only works for Brandon's lines, not the things that other characters say Yeah I added that for Brandons chatting when I first implemented it, but it's a bit more tricky for other chats. Something...

Some/most of the animation glitches should be resolved now. Hopefully .

We had a fastmode you could use to fast forward through cutscenes and such, but it might've gotten lost in the changes at some point. Might not be a bad idea to use something similar to skip past dialog.

Currently all versions should work, except the french floppy version (which I'll hopefull have added today). Language versions besides the spanish and german will have the intro and end dialogues in english instead of the normal ones. Other known issues: Mouse flickers quite a bit, there's a small g...

You need all of them except the exe, .dip, .adv, and .drv files. I think . And the kyracd.cfg file, if you've used the install program.
