Oh and I didn't mean I would handle the decompilation. I meant I would handle my disappointment.  :D I'm not qualified to translate all that disassembly.

LOL, I took it exactly the way you meant it. It didn't even occur to me any other way, but then disassembly is well over my head as well. Pity, since it would be nice if there were more than just one person doing it. I am very grateful for EricOakford's efforts.

It still amuses me that they basically rewrote the whole damn game, and still left the "poisonous snake" line.
They did this because even Guybrush Threepwood thinks snakes are poisonous. And he's a mighty pirate.

They... didn't correct the line in a remake of a game that is not the first in its series to have poisonous snakes in... because a rival company's game also has poisonous snakes in, and a well-known jab at how Sierra games want you to die.

Makes perfect sense, and you are not ATMachine.

(also, Guybrush wants to be a mighty pirate but never actually brought back proof of his completing the trials so technically...)

Okay, now I've been going through the code and adding comments to them, mostly in the Main script. These comments are meant to show what each global variable, procedure, and method does. So far, I have managed to do this with LSL2, LSL3, SQ3, the demos for HQ1 and Iceman, and the Fun Seeker's Guide.

And I've also been cleaning it up and making it look well-organized.

Yeah, one of my ground rules is that I only do the newest versions of games, since they tend to be the most stable and available.

Maybe one idea is to reinstate the text dialog back into the CD version. Frankly, I don't care for the voice acting, and a No Dead-Ends mod would require additional lines not covered by the existing voice clips.

I have posted what's been done here. There's lots to be done!

As a side-note, I have ordered the NES version of KQ5 on eBay. I plan to dump it to a ROM and check for any new text which could be implemented in a possible mod.

In that case, you may want to find a copy of the 2 disc King's Quest 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition (1994) since it includes the dual-language KQ5 French floppy disk release that came out after the CD audio version. It retains the original Roland MT-32 midi tracks instead of recordings like the CD version and added digital audio effects present in the CD version that were never included in the original floppy disk release. The code would be more similar to the CD version at least.

Earlier, I caught my sleep-addled mind thinking of an SCI11 port of KQ5. With bugfixes, quality tweaks, and redone voices.

Has anyone tried training an AI text-to-speech model on the narrator or Wilco? They are getting surprising results these days.

Sort of what Gumby's SCI Narrate was about.

Yeah, Gary Owens has a humongous body of work that could be catalogued for AI.

I was wondering about how to handle the need for Owens for such a project.

Literally one of the first things I tried when Companion got the required features.

Edit: I just did it again just to make sure of things. Text and Speech mode work fine, but as I once wrote about on my blog, Both is a bugged-out mess.
