Ender Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Version 0.5.0 of ScummVM, the classic adventure game interpreter, has just been released. This is our most tested version yet, and with its release we come bearing gifts! New in this version, besides the usual bugfixes and improvements are: - Extensive overhaul of the music subsystem, more games now support music - Support for the Enhanced (V2) versions of Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken - Support for Beneath a Steel Sky, made possible thanks to Revolution Software supplying us with the original assembly source code! - Aspect Ratio correction added, by popular request A more detailed list of changes and a list of all supported games can be found on our homepage (http://www.scummvm.org/) As an extra SPECIAL bonus, the really really wonderful people at Revolution Software Ltd have decided to allow us to make Beneath a Steel Sky *freeware!* You can download either the CD version (70M, includes speech) or the smaller Floppy version (8M), along with ScummVM 0.5.0, from our website: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 In a startling coincidence ScummVM Quick and Easy has been updated too. I hurriedly updated it last night, cuss you ScummVM, you've never released on time before ¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Revolution are the coolest. I've been waiting to play a talking, musical version of BASS for quite a while. Scumm VM wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Beneath A Steel Sky rocks! Revolution Rock! The ScummVM team ROCK! Thank you SO much everyone who made this happen!

elTee Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Beneath a Steel Sky is so awesome. I haven't played it since it was new either, cos every time I put the CD in any of my most recent computers it crashes after about 5 mins. Thank you ScummVM!

Did it happen while traveling between screens? If so there is an easy way to prevent it from crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oystein Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 The music volume is awfully low though. Any solutions to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Either set it ingame on the F5 menu or set it in the 'music volume box' in scummvm quick and easy or set it on the command line with -m<num>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo Donkey™ Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Next you should try to make ScummVM compatible with Flight of the Amazon Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooJaka Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I'm using ScummVM 0.5.1 and I can't get BASS to work. It says there's an error in line 3 or something. The message flashes up too fast for me to read it properly and ScummVM exits. Anyone else get this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our sound guys opinion is that something on your computer is very screwed.. but I assume you still get this error after rebooting, so I'll try to help. Open up C:\Windows\scummvm.ini, and under the [sky] bit add the line: music_driver=adlib Music will now use 'emulated' midi, so may sound a bit funny.

BooJaka Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Alright! It's working (for now)! Thanks. And yes, I think my computer is pretty screwed up. Thanks for the technical analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huz Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Yes, they're all exactly the same, Joshimeister. I used Heanet myself, but it doesn't make any difference. If you're having trouble, try upgrading to ScummVM 0.5.1, which fixes a few random BASS bugs, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Alrighty, and thank you very much everyone, time to kick some... ass. Hey! Who is the enemy in this friggin game? (rhetorical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
