SCI Syntax Help / Re: SCI0 - Custom buttons, windows and gauges

If I had access to edit the wiki I would help update it.

PM me your real name and an email address and I'll create an account for you.

True. It is something that I have been meaning to get around to doing at some point, but never find the time. The Wiki needs this done as well.

Keep in mind that those tutorials are old an in Studio script. You will want to use Sierra script. Try this instead: http://scicompanion.com/Documentation/index.html

Sierra did use Deluxe Paint. John Shroades cites it as the software he used.

But now I'm wondering - how many of the profiles on this site are actually human? Maybe ALL of you are just AI bots??? Maybe I'm a bot???

I miss the 1980s...

LOL. Going down a Dickian rabbit hole, I see.

I am occasionally uploading new versions of the tool (see first post). These are mostly just updates to the game entries, but I am also going through my collection and every now and then I might encounter a slight bug that I fix as I go through my games.

That would certainly explain the PKWare string. I had assumed that it was compressed since unlzexe said decompression failed and I found the PKWare string right before a lack of strings until much further into the file. I took another look and it seems to not be compressed, but I am not finding an interpreter version. There was no problem with getting the Win interpreter's version.

It reads the file, but will not expand it.

I found the interpreter for Hoyle 4 was not compressed with LZW, but the PKWARE data compression library, so the tool cannot read the interpreter version. I have not found any freeware utility to decompress it. Does anyone have a suggestion? Preferably a command line tool that I can call from the version tool.

Anyone that wants to contribute to completing the tool's database, please use the latest version that I have uploaded to the first post. It will generate an import file that I will be able to simply paste into the definitions class to add or update that releases entry.

SCI Development Tools / Re: SCI1.0 Template Game
« on: April 12, 2023, 09:17:23 PM »
I was going through the template games to add them to the version tool. Both the VGA and EGA versions fail to launch with the error:

"Can't find INTERP.ERRC:\"

Somehow the command prompt got added onto the file name so it does not recognize INTERP.ERR.

I had a lot of things come up, so I did not get to work on this as much as I would have liked. It has quite a few changes. I have added the ability to run booter/disk images to facilitate gathering information. For DOS booters when it determines that the target is a booter image it will write a dosbox.conf to boot the image. For Apple II images it now includes the latest AppleWin emulator. While not needed for the tool, per se, you can register WineVDM (via the tool's Options form) to intercept NTVDM calls so you can simply double click Win16 EXEs or Windows shortcuts to start them. This can be used to install games with Win16 installers. There are enough changes that some new bugs may have popped up. Give it a try and let me know what you find or have any suggestions.

Grab the new version from the first post.

I am certainly open to adding all variants of the official games, including the localized releases as well as the fan updates/translations. It already includes most of the AGI/SCI fan games.
