SCI Syntax Help / Re: [SOLVED] SCI0 - Autosave

Can you call it a "more *authentic* Sierra game experience" when QfG4 had it?

Is that the Resource.exe from SV?

Remember that it names the autosave "Automatic Save" and overwrites any previous autosave, so there is more to the save method than previous SCI versions, as I would assume you would realize. Also, the game control has an autosave option for the player to be able to turn it on and off.

You actually have most of the answer right there already: (SaveGame (gGame name?) 0 "Autosave" gVersion), in perhaps Main::newRoom.

Wouldn't that save on every new room? I would think you would want it to only auto save on entry to a dangerous room. Perhaps have a flag for new room that can be set if there is any danger.

Has anyone tried decompiling QfG4 yet? It has an autosave.

Wouldn't you also need to store all status, inventory items, etc. right before ego enters the situation that kills him for the retry? Wouldn't that require modification at each danger point?

How is your C# development going? A new AGI IDE in C# would be a good break from your OCX dependencies.

It would be great to have an AGI branch of Eric's GitHub.

I'll have to try it. Since moving on to Win10 the OCX for the logic editor won't register on install.

Some of them have basic help in the files themselves. At least syntax is often displayed by simply running the file with no parameters.

"KQ Collection 1997 has a bad copy of KQ5 on CD 1; the working copy is on CD 2"

It is not that the copy on CD1 is bad, just incomplete. CD1 includes just the files for a base installation. The collection's installer does not copy the large files from the games to the user's HDD, so it does not need the RESOURCE.00* or RESOURCE.AUD, etc. Kind of naïve to call it "bad".

One reason to not look in all subdirectories is that there may be some old resources in a backup folder that might get confused with current resources.

Does Companion read the RESOURCE.CFG or version detect the interpreter? The FPFP interpreter includes the resAUD path flag for the RESOURCE.CFG.

Aren't they just in the RESOURCE.AUD?

The demo doesn't do anything. It is just a static picture.
