GrafX2, the modern pseudo-Deluxe Paint, has a gradient preview thing not unlike SCI Companion. I'm given to understand Deluxe Paint itself had a similar feature. I used it to design and preview a Sierra Logo-style cycle before I decided to go with a static image.

Why would this not affect DOSBox since it uses SDL as well?

Different color depth settings is the first thing on my mind.

Edit: yeah, log says as much to me.

There's a few things named lb2 in the template too -- lb2DoVerbCode, lb2FtrInit, lb2ApproachCode... reused from Laura Bow 2, it seems.

That sounds like a pretty good feature to have, actually.

I'm not talking 'bout things like fonts -- those are a given and I might 1252ify the 0.fon from Longbow next, it seems nice -- but who would've expected to find the La Costa Lotta theme from LSL6 in PQ4?

That's right, PQ4's 521.snd is an in my opinion somewhat nicer to listen to version of LSL6's 200.snd.

I have absolutely no context for its use, since I'm really just going through the resources, listening for anything nice. But this is something of a step above QFG1VGA apparently containing all the cursors from LSL5... what is it with that series?

What's Cd?

An acronym for the name of a game I'm working on, like Sq5. But not unlike Police Quest 4 Open Season, it doesn't match what's actually shown.

To think I just replaced all my Sq5 with Cd.

Let it be known that diagonal walkcycles are hard.

Really hard.

Like holy shit guys.

Edit: but dammit I persevere!

Talkers are the next thing I'm going to play around with in my "explore SCI1.1" game...

I'm looking forward to that already.

Awesome. I was thinking of going through all these files and renaming paramN and tempN throughout to increase readability. Incidentally, I really feel like blink.sc should be talker.sc, though I understand why it's been given that name.

I must've neglected to actually upload them. Doing so now.

In my stash right now, there are a slight upd0rt on 999.fon (the ? was too low) and a functionally identical but slightly more readable print.sc that replaces things like theTheTheGModNum_3 with the somewhat clearer seq. I haven't done this to addColorButton and addEdit yet, but it certainly cleans up.

One set of diagonals and a good thinking on even/odd widths coming up!

2106 is actually identical to 0 (at least in SQ5, the game where the originals came from). So I'll probably just delete 2106 from the template game?

Guess so?

Any requests?
