Thanks for the encouragement! If you like, you can start improving the game right away, and learn to script Scumm games at the same time. ;) > * If you switch the light off, go to the secret room and go back > again the color palette does not get darkened, even though the > internal state of the switch is set to off.

I'm not quite sure how exactly it works, but if you check out the Road example game, the little door there has such a context sensitive box. > I would like to see the talk text to be centered as in the original SCUMM > games.

Not sure about this one. Some research on the ScummVM site might help, otherwise you're free to experiment and share your findings. :) > The current fonts (dialog selection and speech) look a little bit clumsy, > e.g. the letters "e" and "a" have no holes, but I think that's a really a > luxury problem. Since the standard font will be reused a lot, it would probably still pay off to find/create a better one in the long run. There must surely be some open source coarse-grained pixelated fonts suitable for 320x200 retro games? -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are _______________________________________________ ScummC-general mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/scummc-general
