ATMachine Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 The Steam LC appears to emulate AdLib sound so it sounds like the old PC VGA version. The FM Towns version of course has multiple CD music tracks taken from the film soundtrack recording sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know that. @Steam version So, no really better version. I mustn´t download it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicDeLuxe Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Are the Steam releases encrypted, or can they be used with ScummVM too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The FM Towns version of course has multiple CD music tracks taken from the film soundtrack recording sessions. Actually, no, they aren't from the movie soundtrack. I don't remember exactly to whom I talked about this, but it was someone who was in charge of the FM-Towns music. Anyway, he told me that those tracks were actually a re-recording done for some Disney thing... an attraction... a CD... I really don't remember. I doubt that I still have that e-mail, but I'll check. But if you'll compare the movie soundtrack to the FM-Towns tracks, you'll notice they are different.

I recall reading about this umpteen-billion years ago on another forum... I believe the adapted soundtrack material was from the Indy stunt show they had at Disneyworld. So there's that!

ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 The Steam version of LC is basically the same as the PC VGA version, but with one (!) typo fixed (which is also apparently fixed in the FM Towns version.) Also you have the option to use a graphic smoothing filter and aspect ratio correction (both are enabled by default but can be turned off), like the Entertainment Pack releases in Europe a few years back. ONE TYPO!?! LucasArts tells us that the version of The Last Crusade that will be put on Steam is a "previously unreleased version" with "even more bugfixes" than the original CD-ROM re-release, along with a "Tandy 1000 sound engine." ONE TYPO?! Are you sure that's the ONLY change, ATM? What about the butler's EGA costume? How disappointing Ah, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 This is steam we're talking about though, LucasArts can always decide to upgrade it some more if stuff is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyntheticGerbil Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well, that sure was a failed endeavor. Guess I won't be getting this "new" and "improved" version of the Last Crusade, afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak McKracken Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I figured this was the best place to post this since the Indy board seems dead. I'm stuck in the catacombs in the musical Skull room. I guess I'm not musically inclined AT ALL because I've been stuck for hours even though I've looked at hints and watched a walkthrough on youtube. I posted a link of the picture from my Grail Diary. Can anyone help me? http://s601.photobucket.com/albums/tt96/McKracken1997/?action=view¤t=MusicalSkulls.jpg Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 There's six skulls and six music bar thingys available right? It's been a while, but assuming I remember there being six skulls, you just find the one with the high note and do it as you would a math problem. One skull on one end being the highest note, the other far end being the lowest note. Enjoy the catacombs, because the game sort of goes downhill from there. I like parts of the nazi castle, but after that it's mostly a bunch of mazes and fist fights until you make it to the grail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyntheticGerbil Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yes, Thunderpeel seems to be the only person on the whole internet who knows how to get the most points in an Indiana Jones game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately so, I'm the one who checked it :~ I did a binary compare of the resource files with the vga version, 00,lfl is buried inside the exe and 04.lfl has the one byte change correcting that typo. So technically they weren't actually lying about the bugfix :~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure ScummVM ever got around to adding proper support to the IQ points and it has been buggy for me on occassion, too... At least this should work properly. One question: What was the typo?

Jayel Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I suppose that it's possible that the bug fix is not in the resource/scripts but rather their interpreter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, to be fair, they may have noticed the version number was higher than the released version, but not known what the actual changes where.

purple_tentacle_ Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I only have one question. What is this? Is there a last crusade game? and this is Indiana Jones right? Because if not I have no Idea what it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Are you serious? Of course it's a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Picked it up. Yup, it's better to have the full game not on ScummVM -- much less chance for weird bugs, proper IQ points support (or was this added for LC? can never remember). But the Tandy sound is AWFUL. It's definitely the worst I've ever heard the Last Crusade soundtrack. All the sound effects are reduced to PC Speaker style noises. Why did they do this??

Fealiks Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I guess to make it seem more like an old game, or to induce nostalgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
