And just because I'm shit like that, I made a meddle-survey.

I've got it working well enough that I was able to replace spoken dialog in Eco Quest (including generating new lip sync data). Also looks like EcoQuest has the option of showing both text and speech. Something that should probably be ported into the SCI 1.1 template game.

Attached is a capture from DOSBox (not sure if it needs a special codec to open or not... DOSBox comes with a video codec you can install).

I didn't have time to be funny, but you can imagine the potential of modding old games by dubbing a new audio track :-)

Ooooooo....or adding SPEECH TO SPACE QUEST 5. :O :O

Modding games is the very thing that Brian was afraid of people doing.

Not only that, but Phil forgot to edit one line!

Lol, why is that?

I think it was mainly because he was afraid that people would do inappropriate or lewd mods and sully the Sierra brand. I think that it was why he never released his decompiler. It is just something that I remember that he had posted on the old MT board.

I suppose you don't need a decompiler to do what troflip just pulled. Oops?

That seems rather silly. Adventure fans are some of the most respectable gamers around (that's probably genreist, but it's still probably true). Meanwhile, shooter, RPG, strategy, etc gamers of all kinds get to mod their games up the yin yang, and as un-respectable as some of them are, they didn't do anything to "sully" those brands. In fact, those games became more popular. I admit the mod scene for shooters and other games is different from adventures, but still. The ability to play around is attractive.

Anyway, it doesn't matter now.
