Change Script from Phantasmagoria 1

[lskovlun]

I don't quite understand, if you've decided to edit the movies instead, why you'd want to change the scripts?

The PlayVMD function is rather complicated, it has 32 subfunctions.

And if you want to use the ShowMovie call, be aware that it is not included in all interpreters.

I can't edit a VMD video. I don't know how encode it. With MPG or AVI I can encode it.

I want to translate the game.

You can't use MPG here, I'll tell you that much. And the last time I tried to use AVI, it wouldn't accept my file despite my best attempts to match codecs.

No SCI game supported MPG and only a few supported AVI. KQ6, KQ7, GK1, the GK2 demo and QfG4 did, but only with their 16-bit Win interpreters. There is VAG's VMD Player that can play VMDs outside of the games, but it has no conversion ability nor any source. Might be nice if someone could get him to release his source. His site is still up, but don't know if he is reachable. http://vagsoft.chat.ru/sci.html

Phantasmagoria 1 interpreter can play avi if I change the scripts.
