Swedish translations of SCUMM games

[Praetorian]

I noticed that the death easter egg verb grid has different values, since they have no function connected to them.
I hacked together a version for my translation where I couldn't get "Stare" to fit where it's supposed to be.
I'll do more experiments using the original data and will update my reference sheet later.

Off the top of my head, the verbs also change during the Meathook/ parrot sequence. I'm only mentioning this in case you haven't checked that one yet.

During the parrot scene the verbs are exchanged, so a simple swap of any verbs that didn't fit was easy. The death Easter egg is in a completely different file (0017) and uses some weird enumeration for the spots. 02, 04, 08, 06, 0A, 07 and so forth

Hi Thanius,

posting here as my PM seem to be stuck in my outbox.

In the meantime, I did find 5 font files: DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_000*. But reimporting them after editing didn't seem to have any effect. Almost as if they aren't used by SCUMMVM at all.

Really weird.

Code: Select all

REM unpack the game files
./scummrp.exe -g monkeycd -p ./MI -d dump_MI -o

REM extract the font bitmaps
./scummfont.exe o ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0001 char0001.bmp 
./scummfont.exe o ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0002 char0002.bmp 
./scummfont.exe o ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0003 char0003.bmp 
./scummfont.exe o ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0004 char0004.bmp 
./scummfont.exe o ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0006 char0006.bmp 

REM edit the bmp files using photoshop

REM reimport the modified bitmaps 
./scummfont.exe i ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0001 char0001_modif.bmp 
./scummfont.exe i ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0002 char0002_modif.bmp 
./scummfont.exe i ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0003 char0003_modif.bmp 
./scummfont.exe i ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0004 char0004_modif.bmp 
./scummfont.exe i ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0006 char0006_modif.bmp 

REM repack the game files
./scummrp.exe -g monkeycd -p ./MI -d dump_MI -i

REM extract the text
./scummtr.exe -g monkeycd -p ./MI -of orig.txt
REM import the new text
./scummtr.exe -g monkeycd -p ./MI -if new.txt

ok, nevermind...
I forgot that scummfont doesn't overwrite the existing CHAR files but only creates a CHARxxx-new file.

So after adding this to my script before repacking, the font was correctly modified:

Code: Select all

mv ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0001-new ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0001
mv ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0002-new ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0002
mv ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0003-new ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0003
mv ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0004-new ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0004
mv ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0006-new ./dump_MI/DISK_0001/LECF/LFLF_0010/CHAR_0006

[Laserschwert]

Bringing up this old topic, I was wondering if there was a way to extract the dialogue, and have each line marked with which character in the game speaks that line? Maybe if it could at least mark the lines based on subtitle color, as that's usually different per ingame-character?
