- OpenQuest (ScummC version)
-
-
- I. What is this?
-
- This is a ScummC port of Michael Sheail's demo adventure game "OpenQuest".
- This ScummC version of the game is compiled to Scumm bytecode and thus runs
- in ScummVM.
-
- The game binaries and sources are provided under the GNU General Public
- License, Version 2, or later. The images, sounds, dialogs and the story of
- the game are copyright of Michael Sheail. Additional contributions and
- modifications as well as the ScummC code are copyright of their respective
- authors.
-
-
- II. How to run the game
-
- To play the game, start ScummVM, choose "Add Game..." and point to the "bin"
- folder. The game will be recognized as "Day of the Tentacle". Change the
- name to "OpenQuest" if you want. You can then press "Start" to play the game.
-
- (The masking as "Day of the Tentacle" is necessary, because ScummVM doesn't
- currently support detection of ScummC games and has to be patched to recognize
- them. Patches for several versions are available with the ScummC source code.)
-
-
- III. How to compile the game
-
- To compile the game from source, you need to download the sources for ScummC
- and compile them. OpenQuest is already included with ScummC, otherwise you'd
- have to copy the "openquest" source folder into the ScummC "examples" folder.
- You can now cd into the "openquest" folder and type "make" to compile the game.
- To mask the game as "Day of the Tentacle", change the Makefile to use the SLD
- parameters "-o tentacle -key 0x69", as specified in the ScummC README.
-
-
- IV. Help needed!
-
- If you like, play the original AGS version of OpenQuest and compare the two.
- You will see that much work still remains to be done for the ScummC version.
- If you are a programmer who likes adventure games, or if you are a SCUMM
- expert, please consider contributing to the game code or the ScummC compiler
- itself, to help making the dream of a free SCUMM compiler and many free SCUMM
- games come true!
