Return to Monkey Island [SPOILER FREE]

It'll be really difficult to build a proper album out of just in-game recordings. There's so much cross-fading going on - not only as variations in the same track, but also when new cues start playing. Short of an official release, we'll definitely need a music rip from the game files to construct a clean tracklist. I hope someone can come up with the necessary tool (the Thimbleweed Park tools don't work, I checked).

Thimbleweed Park tools didn't work for me, either.

Although we are used to ripping out the soundtrack files in order to get at Monkey Island music because historically they have a SUPER bad record at releasing soundtracks for them, I actually think it could happen in this case, especially if we ask for it. I'd really like for it to happen at least

Makes it particularly hard for us Mojo professionals who may need to jump back and forth through the game in the name of journalism.

if you guys also try to ask Terror Toybox about it they might at least see that this is a real issue plaguing other people

 

Exactly. What's the point of having a Pulitzer if you don't use its prestige to become a spokesperson for people's needs?

[Remi]

Eh, what's the worst they can say? No?

 

 

[AndywinXp]

Well,

 

That's a "no", I guess... 😅

Well, if I'm not mistaken, you can even swap them out WHILE running the game. So in theory, you could just have a bunch of subfolders to move save-files in and out of. But sure, more pages on the save screen would make this much easier (and better).

Great! I'll just start my switch and rename my save games. 😍

 

(Oh darn!)

Sure, but if someone has to get to that point I'd say that this is inherently a poor design choice 😛

Do I? 😆
 

EDIT: Huh, are you referring to a book I've been meaning to reread?

Yeah. 😛

Well, I was able to get into the files via a recent build of Thimbleweed Park Explorer I compiled, and I am convinced the music is in this file:

This file may have something to do with it as well:

We've been updating TP Explorer to add support for ReMI but its still a work in progress. Proper music dumping will come in the next release, I have it working manually but I done the code to do it automatically yet.

I never thought I’d see Monkey Island mentioned in the A.D. (a big Dutch newspaper), but here it is!

The headline reads:

The comeback of the century

[Scummbuddy]

Anyone else still here in "I haven't been able to play it yet" land?

[Niemandswasser]

I've been able to start, but I'm coordinating times where I can play with someone else so it's slow going. I'd say I'm probably only halfway through.

No system for it?

I'm in "I haven't been able to finish it yet" land due to having a 2-year-old.

Good for you for prioritizing! The game will wait.

[Scummbuddy]

@BaronGrackle Oh, I've got it on PC (with horse armor) but like @Al.DeHyde I have a 6 month old.

[BaronGrackle]

Well, God bless you guys. And some day, you'll be able to indoctrinate those little ones with your favorite media as I do with mine now!

 

(But my wife doesn't always help. She's poisoned them on Back to the Future 3, but someday... 😆)

I'm playing the game with my girlfriend and it's a busy time for us, so it's hard to find some time to play together stress free. Also we're taking our time with it, exploring, asking people everything, examining everything we can, trying different stuff even though we know it won't work but surely there must be some funny dialogue there etc... all this with the more dialogue option turned on.

With all that in mind, we've started the game one week ago and we just started part 2.

Your wife has good taste... damn sight better than BTTF2! 

[Scummbuddy]

As Doc Brown is a student of all sciences, I'm a student of all BTTF parts.

 

And thank you. When the time is right, I'm all set to show her the Humongous titles I've never played and from there we'll try some Lucas titles and explore worlds.
