@Breaking
I belive rafa1138 is using a Classic Amiga with PiStorm accelerator. It would probably mean that the RTG classic version of ScummVM is the one he should use, which of course is not found here but on Aminet.

What version of the OS are you using?
This is the native version for AmigaOS 4.1 (PowerPC)

There are some few bugs in the new 2.8.0 version that need to be fixed. Hopefully a 2.8.1 update will be a minor one with bug fixes and should come soon. Raziel has been informed about the problems. MorphOS version also have the same problems. Hopefully will be fixed for the next update not far away. Just hold on a little bit more.

Hopefully, we can get to play Syberia soon. Keep an eye on the those updates. First, ScummVM 2.8.0 needs to be bug fixed for a possible 2.8.1 update. Should not be too long, hopefully.

Then I must wait until these are supported (and read the readme up to the end next time...).

It's mentioned that in order to run those Syberia games, Shaders have to be written for these games in order to run ScummVM 2.8.0. Also be aware that there are some minor problems present with the ScummVM 2.8.0. The ones I mentioned in previous post. Hopefully, Raziel will have them fixed for a small 2.8.1 update in a not too distance future. Fingers crossed.

@Raziel

Forgot to mention there are actually some few problems with the new ScummVM 2.8.0, which others seem to have noticed as well. A MorphOS friend of mine also reported identical problems with the new ScummVM 2.8.0. I'll try to list them here.

*Causing a GR when other windows are active, after closing down ScummVM 2.8.0
(can also cause a black screen due to this)
*Complaining about Timestamps loading problems (but loads fine anyway)
*Fullscreen button for games don't work right away (must toggle more than once)
*Crackled audio in Broken Sword 1 due to changed support (worked in 2.7.1)

These are the problems with ScummVM 2.8.0. Otherwise, all other games work as supposed to. Sorry to mention those problems, but it's important to report about them so that these can hopefully be solved fast and easily without too much struggle. Hopefully, a 2.8.1 update of ScummVM can address these issues. Keep on improving, Raziel. You're doing a great job with ScummvM. Can only get better.

@Raziel
I'm very happy with the new ScummVM 2.8.0 on my X5000/20. The install went without any problems and all games run as supposed to. However, I noticed problem with speech and music in Broken Sword under ScummVM 2.8.0. It was not the case in previous version 2.7.1. I should mention that I have the ESI@Juli XTe PCIe audio card. Speech and music in Broken Sword 1 used to work. In ScummVM 2.8.0, the audio crackles instead. Can't hear any speech. Music files are OGG. Could that be the problem? Thought about replacing them with MP3 version, if there's any, or is this a minor issue with ScummVM 2.8.0 itself? Otherwise, all other games run just fine.

A great thank to Raziel for an outstanding update of ScummVM 2.8.0! After adding the missing file to the ScummVM Installer, I did a fresh install of the latest version on my X5000 and it completed the install without any issues! ScummVM 2.8.0 runs perfectly on my X5000/20, and looks even better, too! Now all OS4 users can install ScummVM 2.8.0 without problems! Thanks again for the update, Raziel, and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024! Keep up the excellent work.

@No
I understand more than you know. Raziel has confirmed himself that my notice in this missing problem was a fact. This should now already have been addressed. It was important to mention the problem so that hopefully for future updates, this can be avoided. People want stuffs to work, not to fail. You know this, and I'm sure everyone agrees. Keep that in mind before you complains about feedback.

No, it won't always work.
There was a typo in the installer script, all files are and were there.

Stop lecturing people about things you don't understand

The error mentioned in line 103 (see previous post) happens during 13% of a fresh installation of ScummVM 2.8.0 on my X5000/20. Seems to be missing the "drawer.info" file that the error in line 103 complains about. Waiting for the Installer of ScummVM 2.8.0 to be fixed, before doing a fresh install of the new version again. PLEASE, ALWAYS ensure that EVERY files are included in ScummVM Installer. This is extremely important and that way, its Installer will therefore ALWAYS work.

Tried to install the ScummvM 2.8.0 update on my X5000/20 using its Installer by installing to harddisk rather than RAM, as mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, I get this error message: Sorry...an Error Has Occurred! COPYFILES: Problem with source file/drawer "drawer.info" in line 103. DOS Error Type: Unable to locate a file or drawer. Please fix the Installer again and ensure it finds ALL the info files as well.
 
 
Comment by: HKvalhe (84.49.190.204)At: 16 Aug 2023, 15:42File version: 2.7.1
Any chance of seeing support for Dreamfall - The Longest Journey? I have the sequel as well on PC for the first game. By using the OpenGL ES wrapper, it should work very well. Looking forward to see more games supported. Perhaps more of those Broken Sword games as well. 3 and 4 are more 3D-based, but Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse, returned back to classic 2D stylish adventure. Whatever is possible for future versions of ScummVM, I always look forward to a new update.

As I recall, the ScummVM Installer for version 2.7.1 gives this error at 30% of the installment, regardless from RAM or on one of the harddisk partitions. It should be mentioned that I'm currently using NGFS/00 as boot partition on the X5000 (to be changed to SFS/02 as soon as I receive the A-EON USB Emergency Boot.

ScummVM Installer points to this error message saying "Sorry...an Error Has Occurred! COPYFILES: Problem with source file/drawer "Install.info" in line 85.
DOS Error Type: Unable to locate a file or drawer. The solution rather became to install it over the previous 2.7.0 version manually. As long as one knows what should be where, this shouldn't be a problem. Especially not for a small update that mostly fixes some bugs. Everything runs as supposed to, despite the manual installment.

I have managed to update ScummVM from version 2.7.0 to 2.7.1 on my new X5000. Unfortunately, the ScummVM Installer failed at 30% of the installment, regardless of running the Installer either from RAM or on harddisk. I was forced to install it manually, but I don't see a problem of doing that as long as you know what should be where they should be, and since this is a small update with a fix, this shouldn't be a problem. But I hope for future versions of ScummVM that the Installer can be fixed to work properly, and that it will run the installment 100%, not failing halfway. Nevertheless, the new versions works like a charm. Thanks for the update.

Attendum: I think I know where the save game issue is. When I try to save the game (The Curse of Monkey Island) for the first time, ScummVM opens the "comi.c01" file, but doesn˙t close it then, so if I try to save the next time, ScummVM reports it is not possible. Now, if I rename the "comi.c01" file to anything else (eg. "comi.c01p"), ScummVM creates a new "comi.c01" file and I can save yet again.

I have some weird problem with saving games on 2.7.0 (tested with The Curse of Monkey Island). Default save path doesn't work (ScummVM reports it can't save), local save path works at first (for eg. 1 or 2 saves), later it gives the same error as with the default path. I installed 2.7.0 over the previous release.

The new ScummVM 2.7.0 is fantastic! I unarchived it to hard drive and ran the Installer without any problem. Working fantastic on my SAM460ex under AmigaOS4! I'm confused about the choice of Shaders under the Graphic settings for ScummVM and the games. I chose Anti-Aliasing FXAA. Is this the best Shader to choose? Thanks for the new version anyway. Keep up the excellent work.

I could confirm the same experience with the Installer of ScummVM fails to complete the installment of the application and its belongins. Hopefully, as Raziel says, this should now already have been fixed for version 2.7.0. Looking forward to that.

Funny that no one really reported it until recently.

I may have missed the "drawer.info" file in the last upload.
This is already fixed in the 2.7.0 install...soon

True indeed, the installer hangs just after starting to copy files (it has always be like that). I tried to copy an .info file and the stops with an error message.
 
 
Comment by: HKvalhe (84.49.190.204)At: 19 Nov 2022, 00:58File version: 2.6.1
TLJ works very well, but often during the game, a lot of GR messages show up. It's possible to ignore them 1 or 2 times, or to click Continue. Otherwise, after trying to ignore the GR message at least 2 times, the GR forces the user to do a Reboot. Fortunately, it's possible to continue the game from where it was saved last time. Hope this bug can be fixed. I saw the compatibility list for the game to work in latest ScummVM and it only says the support is GOOD, but NOT EXCELLENT. Hope the support will be even better. But the game is fun to play otherwise, no doubt.
 
 
Comment by: HKvalhe (84.49.190.204)At: 11 Nov 2022, 23:02File version: 2.6.1
@Raziel
I found the solution! You simply have to create a Shaders drawer for those games that actually use the Shaders from the Extra drawer of ScummVM! For TLJ, I just created a Shaders drawer and only copied the STARK Shaders to the Shaders drawer for TLJ, THEN you could run TLJ in OpenGL/OpenGL with Shaders!

With RadeonHD v3.7 currently, speed is not at its best, compared to the RadeonRX. A little bit stuttering in audio in some heavy video sequences, but the game itself is quite playable, really. It's getting better as more updates we get! Phew, that took long enough to figure! All happy now! Have fun everyone! Thanks for all the help, Raziel! You can relax now! Keep up the excellent work!

It's not always easy to explain but I'm trying my best. Earlier, I tried to run the Installer for ScummVM, but often halfway, it fails to complete and shows an error. The safest way has always been to unarchive it directly to the chosen destination, then set up ScummvM to work. I pointed TLJ to use the Shaders found in ScummVM's Extra drawer, but that didn't help. Probably because I'm running RadeonHD v3.7 driver (5.14 being extremely buggy. Hans fixing that these days). Thank you for trying your best to help. It means a lot.
 
 
Comment by: HKvalhe (84.49.190.204)At: 11 Nov 2022, 21:14File version: 2.6.1
@Raziel
The ScummVM Installer fails to install it and opens with an error message. Have to drag and copy it manually, or unarchive it to a chosen destination.

But TLJ doesn't work, regardless of setting the extra path to the Shaders. Same for Grim Fandango (even the demo). If choosing SDL Surface and Software Render, then those games work. So my theory here is that since I am using RadeonHD v3.7 driver (the 5.14 said to be very buggy), I suppose there are limit support for shaders or it's that the RadeonRX driver has FULL benefit of the Shaders. Hard to tell, but everything up to date here on my SAM460ex, according to the Updater tool, if looking at the exception of the RadeonHD v5 driver, since I'm stuck to the stable 3.7 driver.

I'm afraid I have done just about everything that was suggested. You would have to talk with Kas1e, as he has run several tests from his YouTube videos of ScummVM with Shaders. He might provide some answers we're both not quite aware of.

What is "not fully working" in the installer?

You know, throwing around unbased comments like this is making it hard to help

I will install ScummVM over again from scratch. I tried using its' Installer, but the Installer is somehow not fully working. Have to install it manually, then set it up correctly. That's the only way I see it. Shouldn't be so difficult. Thanks. Will do.

If it can't find the shaders, your install is broken or your path settings is incorrect.

Please post your .ini here, only the part under [scummvm]

and go into your extras drawer/, look for a shaders/ subdirectory and check if the named shaders are in there.

Tried your very basic INI config, but neither Grim Fandago and The Longest Journey works in OpenGL (with Shaders) mode. These open up with the text console saying can't find either the Stark_Source.vertex or the one Grim uses. All other games run without problems in full OpenGL with Shaders, though. And I have MIDI in my SAM460ex with GUS SoundFonts.

Does Grim Fandango work (even the demo would be a good test case) with shaders?

Use my .ini file (BACK UP YOUR .INI FILE BEFOREHAND) and see if it works with ScummVM 2.6.1.
Adapt the path to your TLJ game directory under [tlj-win]

It's the most basic .ini file, only TLJ added and everything set to opengl (shaders)

I did as you told me, but unfortunately, the error message still happened. I'm pretty sure only the Software Render mode works for that games currently in ScummVM, and not the full OpenGL Shader one. I should mention I bought the game from GOG, though. Could you ask Kas1e to look deeply into the issue with TLJ? But I did exactly as you told me to do now. TLJ was still not able to run with full OpenGL. Only Software Render mode and SDL Surface. Sorry to bother you with this. I'm sure you're busy, though.

- It brings up the text console displaying an error saying "Could not open shader stark_surface.vertex!!".

Just what i suspected.
Check your path settings, the shaders are located in extras/shaders/, once your extras path points to where the shaders are installed, it will work.

- This only happens with TLJ. The other many games run without problems with OpenGL and OpenGL With Shaders.

Wrong, at least Grim Fandango and Myst 3 also rely on shaders.

But if you look closely to the ScummVM video review Kas1e did earlier in spring 2022, you will actually notice that Kas1e did run a demo of TLJ in his ScummVM build, and it was running in Software Render mode, which means that is the mode currently only working for the game itself. That's how I understand from what I saw.

My SAM460ex has a RadeonHD 7750 at the moment. It's a Southern Island card. I have both the latest drivers, but waiting for the updated, fixed RadeonHD v5 driver for SAM460ex, that has been updated and fixed by Hans. Yes, in ScummVM, for the Global Options and Graphics generally, it has been set to OpenGL and OpenGL with Shaders. But TLJ doesn't support OpenGL/OpenGL with Shaders. Only Software Render at the moment. I ran some tests and tried to make TLJ run with OpenGL and OpenGL with Shaders, but brings up the text console instead. I'll see what I can do.

Do you have an RX card?
Do you have the latest RX driver?
Did you set the graphics mode to "OpenGL" and the game 3D renderer to "OpenGL with shaders" in ScummVM global options/graphics?

If those options don't appear for you then one of the above doesn't apply

Monkey4 is considered unstable and has been taken out of the release builds.

I too feel uneasy leaving the possibility to add unstable/unsupported game targets in the detection list for release builds.

Therefore this has been brought to the maintainers attention and will be discussed internally for the hext release...

If you want to test out unstable games/engines please use a daily build instead.

Thank you

1 - BASS is a 2D game and doesn't use ANY of the 3D stuff (inlcuding shaders)
2 - The only way i can make BASS behave "sluggish" is by using "MT-32 Emulator" as audio device.
This emulator is far too resource hungry to be useful even on my X1000, so you might check and change that.

There's an interesting little slowdown on the game Beneath The Steel Sky, even with full OpenGL and OpenGL with Shaders, but this is probably related to the fact that my RadeonHD driver doesn't have full Video Hardware Acceleration, UVD and GART support, as with those Polaris cards. Need RadeonHD v5 for that. Otherwise, most games run quite fine. Have to wait a bit for those 3D adventure, though.

I tested 3 3D game demos in much the same way Kas1e did. Escape From Monkey Island didn't work with the official AmigaOS4 version of ScummvM 2.6.0, even with OpenGL and Shaders. I suppose some bugs are been worked at to be erased. Larry 7 Love For Sail definitely works, so that's interesting! The Longest Journey has yet to work with Shaders. Work in Software Render mode, but way too slow to play! Hope to see proper support for these games in a next release of ScummvM, if possible. I have the FULL GAME of TLJ on DVD. Otherwise, very happy with ScummVM 2.6.0 on my SAM460ex running Enhancer 2.2.

regarding the MT-32 emulator...

Just so that no one is disappointed.
It's an *emulator" inside an SDL app (which already drains so much cpu power for the games), thus it is *slow*...really ***slow***.

Even with the new OGLES2 functionality (which only affects 3D stuff anyway) using the MT-32 emulator will slow down games visibly.
i.e. "Fly of the Amazon Queen" becomes a pain to play.

Not worth the hassle imho to track down the ROMs (which is illegal anyway, if you don't own the original hardware...i know, no one cares, just sayin')

I can help you explain what's the purpose of Shaders are. I came over this explanation from Wikipedia. Shaders are most commonly used to produce lit and shadowed areas in the rendering of 3D models. Phong shading (right) is an improvement on Gouraud shading, and was one of the first computer shading models ever developed after the basic flat shader (left), greatly enhancing the appearance of curved surfaces in renders. Hope this helps ;)

I do read in the Amigans.net forums an interesting discussion of using the OpenGL ES wrapper into ScummVM, meaning that all of us able to use Warp3D Nova and OpenGL ES, would be able to run those 3D adventure games in a versin of ScummVM using the OpenGL ES instead of the GL4ES stuffs. It would also appear faster, as Kas1e pointed out. Looking forward to that. I have a used X1000 with Radeon R9 280x 3GB Dual Slot graphic board, if that actually helps. Keep it up.

Thanks for explaining and the suggestion of using the Daily Build. I certainly could use it, but then again perhaps not so worth it, in case of bugs or crash. I think I can wait a little longer. There are fortunately still so many of these different 2D/2.5D adventure games to explore. You're doing an amazing job already, and I know you'll get there to 3D in the end. It only takes the time it takes. No worries. Yes, I have tle latest graphic drivers, and currently using a Radeon card that is supported by Warp3D Nova, which is great. Keep up the excellent work

2.5.0 is already running on SDL2.

TLJ is pretty much right now adapted to work with Software Renderer (slow) and OpenGL w/o shaders (so, technically it should run, but it doesn't, i'm getting a white screen and a crash).
This is looked into, but i cannot give any estimate when or even if it will work with the next release (or ever for that matter, if the crash stems from some bug in minigl we have to get that fixed first).

wrt gl4es:
I have a gl4es based binary compiled (and my toolchain adapted to build it automatically already), but i'm waiting on a ScummVM PR to get merged first, before i can take further steps.

Since gl4es is still a paid upgrade it won't make it into the official builds and i'm still pondering about including such a binary to official releases...maybe i'll upload them as an extra package, we'll see what comes of it.

To reduce the waiting time you can always download a daily build from ScummVM ("modern" browser required), the AmigaOS cross-compile is based on OpenGL, so you should already get a nice speed boost with 3D games (given you use the latest gfx drivers).

You're right. I noticed myself from the message ScummVM gave. It's a pity considering this limitation in the current AmigaOS graphic subsystem. Can only hope we get to move to full OpenGL very soon. Seems ScummVM will rely more and more on that, which is of course a natural progress into the future. When that happens, we could finally enjoy games like TLJ. I suppose for now, we will have to enjoy the best of these amazing 2D adventures, which are quite many. Thanks for telling, Raziel.

The Longest Journey engine (iirc) still relies on shaders being available to be able to run.
Since ScummVM is built with OpenGL on AmigaOS4 and there is no shader support in our OpenGL, TLJ is not built in (yet)

I just checked the code and both the GLK (tads) and SAGA engines rely on pthreads.
There's even a pthreads-mutex.h to take care of future engine accesses.

1) Since it's a system lib i'd rather stay away from adding a seperate check.
I tried with renaming pthreads.library in LIBS: and all bad things started to happen.
2) I don't think i'm skilled enough to pull it off even.
Not the check, but to exit from ScummVM cleanly without opening more can of worms, i'd rather not try.

1) SDL2 doesn't use pthreads.library. "readelf -d" can show that.
2) pthreads.library is a system component as far as I know. How come it doesn't exists on someone's system? Was is removed by purpose? In such a case game failing to start is probably one of the smallest problems.

Some libraries used to compile ScummVM depend on pthreads (from the top of my head at least SDL2), so nothing i could fix.
If SDL2 ever drops pthread and switches to use a native threads implementation, maybe.
But then i'd need to go through the other dependencies and see which one hooks into pthread...not really worth the hassle.

Yes, i know the MOS solution, not sure how he handles it, probably uses a different shell.

I can provide a SDL1 bleeding edge build, get in touch with me on amigans.net for it.

The buildbot builds are in hiatus until the devs revert to an earlier SDL2 version for AmigaOS4 (reason is, that even my local builds break due to a missing url feature in SDL2 - which will be implemented in the next RC of SDL2, just don't know when that will be) or get their hands on said upcoming SDL2 update (for AmigaOS4)

@Thematic

I haven't seen any memory shortages while playing a game (the most a game leeches by now is around 300 MB, so that should never be a problem, unless one manually shortens the available ram).

I also never saw a ScummVM 1 and ScummVM2...must be way before i took over recompilation...

The problem is and will be that the statically linked binary is ever so growing and there is not much i can do about it.
Every new supported engine adds to the size.

Granted, i could split them into Adventure and RPG at one point, but i'd really like to avoid such messy releases.

A shared build would be heaven...if it worked

Not only would there be the possibility to release fixes for certain engines (instead of a whole new binary) by simply replacing the engine plugin, but there'd also be a giant save in binary size.
Both while compiling/linking and for the final binary.

I do compile a shared version in parallel to the static build, but unfortunately the shared stuff is so broken on AmigaOS4, that it keeps crashing on me on start, at the same place, reproducable and all the time.

Another system bug that will never get fixed...or at least i won't be able to get it before i die...

Yeah, you're right about the MT32 emulation. A multi-core supported Amiga can do the job very nicely when proper supported. Systems like A1222 Tabor and the X5000. Such would fly with ease. However, I suppose the problem shouldn't be so big. There's surely ways to overcome that limitation. I actually found out that Stretch to Window mode allows you to adjust the window without messing up the look of the game, so that is cool. Thank you so much for the help.

MT-32 emulation runs slow on an X1000 aswell. Nothing that can be done about it.
It's based on MUNT and it's an emulation inside an emulation (ScummVM)...so, nope, MT-32 emulation will always be slow (unless we get multi-core support, then maybe for multi-core system, but i doubt it...both).

Better get real MIDI hardware, you'll never reget it...sound-wise.

Thanks for the new update to 2.1.0 using SDL2 for AmigaOS4. The graphic filter option and the new support improves the look of these ScummVM games and seem to run smooth, too. The problem might be that the MT32 emulation might run a bit slow, but then again I use an AmigaOne 500 aka SAM460ex. Not the fastest system out there, but should be fast enough for most of these games. It is possible to improve the MT32 emulation support for this new SDL2 supported ScummVM? Other than that, it's really great, so keep this up. Thanks again.

Ok, I understand. Yeah, you're right about the game, and all Radeon drivers for Amiga need full hardware acceleration, if not already implemented. I suppose it's not a good idea to merge ResidualVM and ScummVM, for obvious reasons you mentioned, Raziel. Thanks for telling. Have to focus on games that are fully supported by ScummVM in this case.

BS2.5 is known to be buggy on AmigaOS4, bug reports have been written, unfortunately there is no active dev working on the BS25 engine right now, so it might take some time.
- Video replay will remain slow until there is hardware acceleration in our gfx driver, nothing that can be done in ScummVM's code, as it runs perfectly smooth on other platforms AND some more games are also affected.
- Save game problems i never heard about, but i also don't play that game for above reasons. I'll keep an eye on reports.

ResidualVM and ScummVM will hopefully NEVER merge!
1) This would make the app freakishly big, let alone the hilarious compile time
2) It would inhale RAM in any kind or form and would soon become unusable on most of the smaller or niche platforms, then we wouldn't have any of the two.
3) Although the two apps are sister projects, they only share a certain amount of base code. 2D and 3D are so extremely different, that it wouldn't make a iota of sense to merge them together.

Broken Sword 2.5 is an interesting game to play under ScummVM 2.0.0 on AmigaOS4 systems, but because this was an unofficial fan-made game, it's not 100% working. Cinematic video sequences play slow, and often the save game files tend to appear corrupted and won't work after you quit the game and try to play it again later. Hope to see proper support for it? Is there any plans to merge both ResidualVM 3D interpreter with ScummVM for the future? Could certainly help a lot...

The DGDS engine (i.e. Willy Beamish, Rise of the Dragon, Heart of China) is on the list of freezed engines (means they have been started, but no dev is currently working on it), which in turn means they will be supported sooner or later.

The STARK engine (The Longest Journey) is 3D and doesn't fit in the scope of ScummVM.

However, there is an early engine for that game in ResidualVM.

Unfortunately this engines uses GLEW, while our minigl only support GLES...so, no game until GLEW is supported (which probably will be never, or at least one eternity, given the pace of OS development)

I also agree with that annoying extra little window displaying small information about a game running in ScummVM. I'm certain that this information is not necessary to display. It should be an option to not have it displayed every time when running a game in ScummVM. So yes, just running the game in ScummVM itself. Nothing else.

Otherwise, i followed the instructions from the ReadMe file and found the Installer in the archive, using it and installed over my previous ScummVM installment without problems...

Yeah, i noticed the situation about the SDL2 stuff within the ReadMe file. I hope it will be sorted out in time. Now, i will try to find more adventure games supported by ScummVM to test out :) Can't wait :) Thanks for the update, by the way, and Merry Christmas! :)

Nightlybuilds are bleeding edge builds which will(!!!) contain bugs, errors and grief and probably cockroaches that will haunt you at night - you have been warned ;-)
Plus they are cross-compiled, so in no way tested locally (at least not by me, so don't blame me).
Additionally they are built without any optimization flags, not stripped and with debugging in place and as such *slower* as "official" releases.

The 2.0 is delayed because
a) no time meeting real life(tm)
2.) too much other work and interests
d) too much problems migrating to SDL2 (*waves at capehill and throws a kiss) :-D
3.5) other things that keep me from using my Amiga
VIII) a lot of testing to do for new Amiga-specific features like an Installer

...that doesn't mean, it won't be released. It will be, just not yet and certainly not "for the holidays" as "the holidays" are no holidays for me...

Ah, see it now, at least, i think.

With a (near) empty list of games, switching to OpenGL renders the screen insanely big which results in the cursor becoming sluggish moving it over buttons (If you have a list opf games and use e.g. "2x" and then switch to OpenGL it stays in this resolution and, of course, stays very responsive.

No idea how to resolve that, we probably have to wait for the devs to implement a better OGL handling.

Raziel a new problem :-D

How can we use the translation file for the program ?
It seems it need a proper translation.dat and indeed we have it inside our current nighly archive, however did you ever verify if it work or not ?

Because here i wasn't able and i have the usual warning at startup:

Ok, I think to have found an easy way to solve (atleast seems working here)

By default the current "themes" folder doesn't have any corresponding .info extension, (aka the themes folder are hidden)

So just add a folder icon for that drawer and that's it, doing that you should be able to solve the issue and so the program will be able to read the modern theme again

> Do you get the same error with the ScummVM builds?

No problem with ScummVM (even if its themes folder icon are missed)

What i found out so far is that the lha archive is "broken"

Try "lha -t residualvm-amigaos4.lha" and you'll get an instant error.

Testing integrity of archive 'residualvm-amigaos4.lha':
Testing: ( 0/ 0) ResidualVM/
*** Error on file 'AUTHORS.txt' : Unknown compression (need newer LhA version)

Buildbot is using a linux commandline .lha to crunch the archive.
The Buildbot maintainer will be informed about this.

Until then, i'm afraid you'll have to create your own dirs and move stuff around with daily builds to make it work.

Why, that is one strange "bug" :-o

I was testing your problem with modern.zip and get the same result...no modern.zip picked up by residualvm.

Here comes the strange part...if i point the daily build to another install's theme dir (in my local build) the modern.zip is picked up just fine!

But wait, it gets even more strange...once i copy the "working" modern.zip (from my local build) to the dir of the daily build it's again not seen!!

But vice-versa, if i copy the modern.zip from the daily build to my local copies themes/, it IS seen, wtf?!

And to top it all...i created different dirs with different "named" modern.zips in them...all of them gets picked up, but for one...the one that has been installed in the daily builds themes/ dawer!!!

I can't tell you right now what the problem is, but it seems the dir created by buildbot is somewhat corrupted and/or not standard and is refused by AmigaOS to read their files.

A workaround is to:
1) rename the original themes/ drawer to themes_broken/
2) Create another dir called themes/
3) Copy modern.zip to themes/
4) Point ResidualVM's theme path to the new themes/ drawer and pick modern.zip

I gotta find out what it's going on there...

Do you get the same error with the ScummVM builds?

Ok in latest nightly all icons are fixed, still only the problem with the modern theme of Residual, again i can't set the modern theme availible on the archive

WARNING: Could not find theme 'modern' falling back to builtin!

Just a curiosity and maybe not related but in your Residual archive how many file do you have inside the "themes" folder ?

In official built we only one single file called "modern.zip" and nothing else, however on the "themes" folder of ScummVM i noted that we have atleast two different zip files

scummmodern.zip
scummclassic.zip

That's why i can't apply the modern theme in Residual ?

The daily builds are done through cross-compiling on a linux platform.
The icons itself were added to be used and installed on a local platform...which means i have to convince the buildbot guys to add that icon to their daily build release :-)

I just downloaded the new nighty (no more than 5 minutes ago), extracted in RAM and so on, however both archives (ScummVM and ResidualVM) miss the folder icons as before:

ScummVM:
Actually only the "development" daily builds have the version information.
The "stable" builds doesn't :-)

It will be available there once those changes make it through the testing phase (i don't know how long that will take, probably as long as a new stable release?)

The missing drawer icons is not really an issue...other platforms don't know about cutomized drawer icons, i need to provide them for every release package i do.
I forgot about them, as i did with the main binary icon.

I see if a customized drawer icon gets approved for the project and add it for the next release (so i don't need to remember) :-)

ResidualVM:
You are right about the version information.

The changes done for ScummVM gets merged into the ResidualVM project "automatically" from time to time (very handy as i only have to do changes in ScummVM) and it like as if not all of them made it. I'll check that out, thanks for the hint

Tested latest nightly and the version command it's now fine, however the main folder icon still not be availible (it was the folder icon you used for ScummVM 1.6.0)

The same issue, a missing icon for the main folder still for the ResidualVM nightly archive, ResidualVM binary also seems using a wrong version reference :-)

Actually it use the Scumm name: "ScummVM 0.2.0git..."
.. while more or less should be like: "ResidualVM 0.2.0git..."

A basic one, somethings like this maybe:

ScummVM 1.7.0 (25-Jul-2014)

+ eventually a revision number in between (in case one will use a nighly build binary instead)

Thanks for the heads up

The shell output is actually the user friendliest method to tell the user that something is wrong and needs to be adapted.
You see, ScummVM is a multiplatform engine, and going the console way is the most generic so most of the supported platforms benefit from/can use it.

There are means to add the possibilty to write to a log file instead (as an option in the main ScummVM launcher window) but it's not beyond the planning state and other matters are more important...like new engines ;-)

Regarding version information...would this
"scummvm --version"
fit your needs?

Working good so far !
All seems fine, Just another couple of minor things for when you have the time

- At any startup ScummVM still open a shell output asking for a missing path for the skin and for the translation.dat, not a problem in general but maybe you might suppress it, atleast show it only when a user start it for the very first time, even because the message isn't very clear as is, maybe it should just ask the user to select the proper paths to change them, right now it just say that they are missing alltogheter while in reality they are not missing from the archive, they just need to be set!

- A version command would be good to have :-)

Thank you again and great job :-)

Yes, i have to apologize again for the missing icons, mea culpa

Best would be to set the stack to 600000 in the icon.
ScummVM gets more demanding with every engine that is added.

I got some pretty weird crashes with the .so builds which i couldn't overcome...until i accidently set the stack to 1000000 and it ran, stupid thing :-)

Well, then you are in for some surprises...


1) I don't care what you think
2) I am the porter, not one the devs
2.1) If you donated, you donated to the devs
(Try to find someone who does the port, sacrifices their time, builds the exe day after day, tests [and buys] all new games on their own, deals with ungrateful demanding sods...i beg you, find one and i'll happily step back from doing the builds)
3) The problem is not in ScummVM, live with it and read the release notes again, you are just not getting it...
4) It IS a BIG difference using JXFS instead of SFS
(Just because it runs on AmigaOS and is a Filesystem does NOT mean it's the same, besides JXFS is discontinued and will vanish)
5) I don't care what you think

There...surprise

Well, what would you know? Using SFS2 instead also caused the same GR message now and then. Not always, but more or less regularly. I have sent a crashlog for you to investigate deeply into the problem. It leaves me to speculate that the problem is within ScummVM 1.7.0 itself, NOT the file system you use.

I don't really think using JXFS or SFS2 differs so much. It's pretty obvious that the file system is not the problem. The problem is ScummVM 1.7.0 itself. The crashlog proves it...

2 post too many from me already, but also remember a lot of us have donated a great sum of money into the ScummVM project. I'm one of many who have, and as no surprise, there are always certain expectations to the ambitious project. Wintermute engine is on the way. And because all previous versions of ScummVM have handled the new JXFS filesystem without any GR messages, then i expect that the 1.7.x versions should be able to do the same, which would make sense.

And i think Raziel that you have to accept that a lot of users are actually using the JXFS for non-bootable partitions, which are of course many of them. If you take a look at the different topics in the Hyperion Entertainment support forums, you will actually see that a LOT OF users are in fact using JXFS for NON-bootable partitions. At least until there is a new universal file system to use. For now, JXFS is the best option, like it or hate it, as SFS2 is the best bootable solution for AmigaOS4, as it stands now.

OK, you are the author of ScummVM, Raziel. I didn't see that coming. But still, using JXFS should not be a problem. It has never been and now suddenly, with 1.7.0 of ScummVM, it's a problem. I don't really get it. It seems pretty odd to me.

And what makes you believe that SFS2 is better than JXFS? Could you explain that?

@Raziel,
You are NOT the author of ScummVM. What you say and mean is IRRELEVANT in this case. It's actually up to the author. I have run previous versions of ScummVM, the last being somewhere in the 1.6.0 version of ScummVM, and it has NEVER EVER been a problem for me using the JXFS file system. There, i said JXFS. Was writing too fast the last time i hitted the wrong key, but it's JXFS.

I am letting others handle this request. I don't want you to handle this, Raziel. You are NOT the author of ScummVM and therefore it's NOT up to you. It's that simple.

There, i have spoken enough of this. If you are going to keep being rude and arrogant, then there is no point in having this conversation. I'm not sinking down to your standard. You dig your own hole. I don't want to join you in that hole. Thank you.

Ah, what the heck, i'm in the mood of enhancing my "No"

First of all, lets see what you got:

It's suprising to see that version 1.7.0 have problems
[/quote]

Actually, if you followed the release cycle it was 1.6.0 which introduced the problem (or rather two new engines which uses a shipload of I/O accesses a JXFS based partition just can't handle)

...which, in turn, makes your following statement obsolete
[quote]
It shouldn't be the case, as this was never the case with previous versions
[/quote]

...as you see above, this is utterly wrong

Moreover...
[quote]
with handling the JFXS filesystem. . Most are using JFXS, actually. I hope the author can look into this problem and eventually find a solution to address the problem, so that JFXS still can be used.
[/quote]

Firstly: It's J X F S, not JFXS, never heard that one before
Secondly: I know enough people who DON'T use JXFS to easily disprove your "Most"...
Lastly: Good luck finding the author of JXFS to "fix" it

In the ReadMe page, it was adviced that JFXS fileformat should NOT be used to run ScummVM, but i find that odd, as i have NO problem with running ScummVM from a JFXS-formatted partition, as long as you have all the needed SObjs files and configured everything correct. Of course, this can be invidual, depending on what setup you have and system you have. I have donated $20 for supporting ScummVM! WinterMute is coming! :)

You don't need to re-create anything when you already have a working ScummVM dir with an earlier version. Just copy the files where they belong.

there is no need to make user crazy to search all of them or force the user

I think you are missing the main advantage of shared objects over shared libraries which is that you can put the specific sobjs that are needed by a program inside that program's PROGDIR: and it will use those and the sobjs won't interfere with the rest of the system. No need to make users install sobjs into SYS:SObjs, and this way the user can if he knows what he is doing still replace the sobjs by newer compatible versions, which may contain important bugfixes f.e., without having to recompile ScummVM as would be necessary with a static build.

The warnings you get are because translations.dat (which is btw in the 1.4.1 package) needs to reside in the drawer the "themes" path points to (ScummVM Options/Paths/Theme Path)

Same goes for the theme file.
ScummVM explicitely checks for the theme path to find it.
You MUST set it to wherever your theme file reside otherwise it wont be found.
(I stopped packaging an empty/base scummvm.ini with the pathes pointing to the install dir after some people complained about their own scummvm.ini being overwritten)

Sometimes it would help if people start reading the readme.

About your idea with packaging the needed shared objects.
No.
Because the first thing would be people complaining about a shared objects version is
a) older than he/she got
b) newer than he/she got
c) not having it all and the question where it has to be installed
d) the question where a newer/older version can be downloaded because
d-1) it breaks other programs he/she has
d-2) it fixes long standing bugs on their system, why that is ans why that isnt in the OS installation

Sorry, too much hassle

I will see, if i find the time, if i can add links to the Shared Objects as needed can be downloaded from whatever place.

No promise though...

Well a quick solution can be to add into the ScummVM archive (PROGDIR) all the SOBjs deps needed, so the application can start instantenely using that library inside (and without annoying users about such deps..)
I think this might be the easy and fast solution for you while you can't give us a proper static version :-)

BTW: When i start ScummVM i also get this output messages:

"WARNING: You are missing a valid 'translation.dat' file. GUI translation would not be availible"

"WARNING: Could not find theme 'scummmodern' falling back to builtin"

Scumm Modern skin is availible in archive even if archived but i can't find the translation.dat, i use AmigaOS in italian language, would be nice to have such translation.dat builtin and ready to usable :-)

i agree with Raziel on this but i also agree with everyone else too (regarding shared objects).

i think its really stupid for everyone to not have the shared objects available for download on OS4depot, the sources are on os4depot but 99% of them require you to have a SDK installed and that you know how to use it.

there has to be a better system than this, os4depot team should require that there is a complete package of the .sobjs.

As to going static , well i'd like that too but there are some really negative sides to that, just look at all the old sdl games (slow, some doesnt work etc)etc here on the depot :-/

so i'd say, someone who has all the shared objects and whatever, put them onto a site or whatever and let people download them from there (or even provide a auto downloader script in the scummVM install).

cheers

@kas1e

The configure/makefile/building/linking is completely set to use shared librarys
(and it took me quite a while to figure out how to do it on OS4 before it really worked with all SO's)

If it were as easy as changing the linker line to build a static instead of a shared version i would do it.
Unfortunately i believe using either static or shared would result in a complete rebuild of the whole source, which would mean another 30+ minutes of building...and my time is precious.

If it isn't the case (and i say "if" because i never tried due to the shared version working so great) i'd think about linking a static version (and packaging it too) aswell...but as i said, i believe a change to static would mean a whole rebuild and such is a no-go for me.

I can't code, i just port (and even this would'nt be possible without the great help of the ScummVM devs), if you can find a solution which doesn't involve building the source a second time, i'd be happy to use it...

But why not make users happy and not compile static version for them ? And provide two versions: shared and static. Shared for everyone who want to meet with sobj-hell, and static for anyone who just want to run and play without downloading all the sobjes ?

If you in interest i can help you with it (as you already kind of handle scummvm, it will be logical if you will build static version, and not me, to avoid different kind of releases).

The assertion is of course a valuable bit of information, but i also need to know which video file was played when it crashed, hence i need at least a save game from before the crash and the steps to reproduce.

It woul be even better if you could add the following information:

Before submitting a bug report, there are three things you need to do. First, please check the compatibility list to ensure the bug is not already known. Secondly, try out the latest Subversion/daily build. The bug may already have been fixed. And last, check you are including all the following information in your bug report:
ScummVM version (scummvm -v)
Bug details, including instructions on reproducing
Language of game (English, German, ...)
Version of game (Talkie, Floppy, ...)
Platform and Compiler (Win32, Linux, ...)
Attach a save game if possible
If this bug only occurred recently, please note the last version without the bug, and the first version including the bug. That way we can fix it quicker by looking at the changes made.
Next, select the game in the 'groups' dropdown, and the type of bug in the 'categories' dropdown... enter your text, and hit the button!

Please only file bugs on games that are listed as 'Playable to the end' (that is, completable) in the README file included with your version of ScummVM.

Finally, please report each issue separately; do not file multiple issues on the same ticket. (Otherwise, it gets difficult to track the status of each individual bug).

Thanks for using ScummVM!

Try this, when you start the game, fill slot 0 and 1 (and maybe 2) with a save by using the GMM (CTRL-F5). When done try the ingame save (the disk icon) again.

It worked for me and once it works ingame it always works.

You are free to download any other 3rd party icon collection to add to your installation.

You can find the compatibility list here.
Just click on the game and it will tell you which version is supported.

In general most of the versions that exist are already supported, missing ones will be in the future.
One exception are games that are freely available, e.g. Beneath a Steel Sky -> the Amiga version differs a lot and the devs have decided to not spend time on implementing it.

There are a few things that still annoy and/or are not really transparent to end users when it comes to error messages and such, but the devs already did quite a good job on fixing some of them.

Thats what I thought until I tried to update some of them with DOPUS4 but failed as they a number of the files are linked together with soft link.

Anyway way as we are getting rather of topic I think we are best moving this to amigaworld or amigans.net.

I am not against software using SOBJS: library's I would just prefer they were supplied with end user installers and that software that used then supplied a list of which ones they need and were to get them from.

Hopefully the information here will help anyone else how wants to install scummvm find the library's they need to get it working.

The sobjes, its the same as plain library. You just install shared libraryes to LIBS:, but sobjs to SOBJS:. Absolutly the same.

And everything the same as with any other shared libs : you download them, and copy to SOBJS: dir. The only directory different.

For my imho, its all very very easy to do. You just download need it library (and does not matter .library it, or .so), and put to LIBS: or to SOBJS.

OK thanks for the list of required alien library's.

As a number of them don't seem to have user installers script and installing them is far more complex than installing normal Amiga library's I guess I will give for now and wait for the librarys to be released for end users rather than just developers with the OS4.1 SDKs installed.

Sorry if this post seems a bit negative but I just dont have the required spare time at present to try and get ScummVM working under OS4 :-(

To see what sobjs you need for any binary, you can just run:

amiga shell:> readelf -d binary

and readelf will show you what objects need it for the app. So you can step by step download everything from os4depot.

@raziel
Btw, maybe build a static version of scumm will be not bad idea as well ? Should be just matter of moving away all .so files from local/newlib/lib/. Or even just better by adding flag "-static" to makefiles, etc.

You can achieve that by unpacking scummmodern.zip into a scummmodern/ dir which resides in the same dir as the executeable.

Then it won't ask and simply open in the modern GUI

But i can't change the behaviour for default cause i do only the port and iirc such a feature request is already in the tracker, so it will eventually come anyway

Otherwise feel free to add it to the feature requests on scummvm.org

I mean on windows (and mac¨?) when you run scummvm, theme used by default is "modern", even if there is no path in options/paths/themes.

On amiga you must enter the path first.

I would advise him to first get a proper and working SDK and then try to port a little project before he tries to go for ScummVM

It normally is a simple
sh
./configure
gmake

as it is lined out in the docs

@Raziel
1. i use 4.1 so i dont need a new ScummVM build - yours work very nice here :-)
2. chus want to make a new build for OS4.0, maybe you could write him which commands you enter to build your version of ScummVM.

I guess it's something like
sh
configure (some options)
make

@chus

No idea, i don't have OS4 for classic nor do i have a classic

@ZeroG

The sources are there, feel free to rebuild it

I unfortunately don't have the time to juggle with two releases for the same platform

Hi Razie,
I have an os4 classic, and I can compile a version, but I dont know how to do it.
./configure does not work.

@Raziel
A "simple" static rebuild of ScummVM should workaround all problems with shared objects.
 
 
Comment by: Raziel (84.145.47.227)At: 13 Mar 2010, 05:38File version: 1.0.0
I don't think Classic is supported due to the missing .so functionality/support

I will set the package to "4.1" again with the next release
I don't have OS4 on Classic and can't support/build such versions anyway

I installed scummvm on my A4000 with OS4 Classic but it gives this error:

Elf.library
Required object missing

I haven't the elf.library in libs and I can't find it anywhere.
Someone with os4 classic is using scummvm?

I had problems with the modern GUI (it didn't work even if I chose the correct path), but now with this release it works. Cheers. :-)

Because i explicitely use shared objects with this version (the last one aswell, iirc) and i didnt know if SO were (at that amount and flawlessly) supported under 4.0, thus i upped the version of the OS needed.

Now that i know it works without problems under 4.0 i will (if i don't forget to change it) change it for the next release :-)

Why does this version specify OS4.1 as the minimum when its seems to work fine on OS 4.0 here.

you must add the path in misc/theme path

Work really well on Sam440EP.
But the theme files, even when they unzip don't actually work.
Not to worry, i was using it before this version without theme files anyway.

good port, thanks !

I've just posted a crashlog
(the same data but with scumvm on mac don't crash)

Whenever such un-reproduceable errors and crashes occur, first thing to try is to re-copy all of the game data, re-add the game in the launcher and try again.
If that doesn't help and the crash is still there, get in touch with me.

Latest ScummVM crashes a lot when playing DIG - sometimes it throws a debug window, sometimes a error message:
_outputSize: 8406!
SDL_BlitSurface failed: Surfaces must not be locked during blit!
Playing the game is really painful as it can crash anytime :(

Downloaded latest (0.13.1 at moment) version and plaing in these original games on my peg2/os4.1 - Sam&Max, FullThrottle, 7stGuest. Works stable, without bugs at moment. 2 years ago tryed only os3.x version on my old a1200, it was nice but a bit slowly. Right now its very playable, thanks :)

You shouldn't need to, the scummvm.ini within the package
has the modern theme already set as standard.

Otherwise:
Option -> Misc -> Theme

It just so happens that I have three of those games mentioned as newly
supported. That is why I tried to compile the CVS version a week or two ago.
Cheers!

But it reports itself as 0.11.0svn, how peculiar.
