CMI Light Saber fighting

[Serge]

Oh, Andrew (telarium) and I were just playing around with the SCUMM scripts for Curse of Monkey Island today, and finally found out exactly how to turn on light saber sounds during the insult swordfighting. Not sure if anyone else has already posted something about it, but I haven't ever known the exact way to do it (although there's a savegame floating around with it turned on), and neither has Andrew. So, here goes:

 

During ship-to-ship combat (NOT during the sword-fighting itself, it won't work), press Shift+J to turn light saber sounds on. Shift+J again, and it'll be off. You won't be told anything when you turn it on or off, no banner across the screen like with the ship-to-ship combat cheat or anything. It's just silently turned on, so that in future insult swordfights, you'll hear light saber sounds instead of the usual sword clangs.

 

Just thought some people here might find it interesting. It's been bugging me for 3 years now, so I'm glad to finally know

Interesting.

I also recall some Mortal Kombat type messages on the SCUMMRev site. How do you activate those?

Funny you mentioned that, as we were just looking at it. We found the script that displays the Mortal Kombat "DESTROY HIM" and "VERBALITY!" messages. However, it seems that this particular script is never called. I guess they either forgot to create an action that called this script, or they took it out for some reason. Such a shame.
