I can only assume this project has been put on hold or "shelved" indefinitely.

is it rude of me to ask what's up with it?

Thanx

you mean VDMSound, it's completely different than the vmd player, as well as the DOS vmd player i was talking about. it's got nothing to do with vmd at all.

Are there any updates yet??? I'm really excited and would like to at least see an update/news about it if possible. Is it still being worked on? Or perhaps placed on the back burner for more important things? An update would be appreciated

Thanx, and keep up the great work!

IF I had money, I'd seriously consider donating, cuz I'm not that far away from brian (vancouver, bc)

While I'm also anxiously awaiting, i consider myself to be very patient and will wait for the final product, as i've had some disappointments before with beta stuff (ie. scumm revisted).

Great program overall, even so far. Although, for some reason i can't figure out why soundbox won't autoload a sound file you open from sci-studio.

LL: Firstly, what does FAR Manager have to do with the VMD Player? Secondly, there is another, less robust VMD player that uses a dos box (and then launches a windows player??). This other one does have sound, but has really bad support (doesn't play the VMDs i want to play) and doesn't have features such as double height (which, as said, is extremely useful). I can't wait till VAG's next version with sound, nevermind the conversion for now, just hurry up and get the beta that's got sound support out there! Since we can't get SCI studio that soon, i'm hungry for the VMD player. Is there a status report you can give us, VAG?

Greatly appreciated, thanx

hehe, yeah, LSL7 DID work fine, but then it quit working for some reason.

mostly having to do with it not detecting the correct cdrom (since i have 2, so i get confused in the setup when it asks me whether i want to use both).

i'll try some cpu slowdown utilities, or maybe abandonloader will work

Mega Tokyo SCI Archive / SCI32 and Windows XP

« on: July 09, 2003, 11:42:08 AM »

I've had quite a bit of trouble getting several sci32 games to run under xp. i can almost finish sq6, but can't pick up the gallstones or pills in stellar's body.

My main concern though, is getting lighthouse running, cuz it won't run at all. Just gives me a weird interpreter/script error, any way i can still get it to run on xp (and i've tried compatibility modes, they never do squat for me).

All help is appreciated, since this is one of my all-time fav sierra adventures.

Thanx

and, tofu, vmd's are basically only in SCI32 games. Either the hand drawn/cartoon ones, like space quest 6, LSL7 and Kings Quest 7, or games like shivers and lighthouse.

WOW, it's so cool to finally see all the vids from lighthouse!

It's quite easy. It's even more simple than playing   I'll add .avi saving in the next release.

REALLY???!! No BS? SWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEET!

You rock! can't wait!

WOW! today was my first real chance to try this bad boy out. This thing blows me away man. Sound aside, this thing does it all. At first, i couldn't figure out why you'd put a double size option in it. As i started playing the movies on the lighthouse disc, i discovered why. EXCELLENT WORK! I would be glad to host these files for you, as i am signed up to several reliable webhosts.
Keep up the good work (Brian, you too ), and hope you can add sound support soon!

ok, one last question: how much harder is it to convert than decode? what i mean is, what about an option to convert vmds to a windows video format (like avi or mpeg)? Or is that way more advanced?

Anyway, SCI and Sierra, and all of its supporters RocK!!

Holy damn! this looks like it could be soooo cool! the only other vmd player i've found one other vmd player before, but it's got a weird dos interface. sound aside, i think this thing would rock (can't test it now as i'm at school)

I just wonder whether it can play the vmds from lighthouse and shivers 2 better than "that other one".

Looks excellent from here, thank you!
