![]() Once again - this is just a question, no accuse or something like that. Is the engine so difficult to support? Is there a lack of interest (I thought, Holmes was far more popular than many games recently added) or what is it?Ĭan I or anyone else of the "not-programming-skilled"-users do anything to help supporting Holmes (or do more than donate to the project)? ![]() I just want to understand why Holmes is still not supported. On the other side there are many games supported now which I have never heard of, neither "in the 90ies" nor now.ĭon't get me wrong, I don't want to blame anyone for that as everyone is working on this project for free and I can not write programmes and contribute code. I read this forum and see that there have been various persons either asking for Holmes or saying they are working on it.īut for years nothing has happened (the game or its engine aren't even listed on the pages about that). Actually I play them in DosBOX and that is very slow on my computer. And, finally, in the final scene in the game Holmes tells Watson that (in essence) he would lay down his life if it would bring 'the major' to justice, which is the sentiment he expresses about Moriarty in TFP. Take your pick.I am a great fan of both Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes games. The major's' MO is exactly the same as what is described by Holmes in TFP. Or, you can start rewriting the engine from scratch. The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes - support All the inane chatter goes in here. There are also nothing but old adventure lovers here who might appreciate it. If anyone cares to have versions with 20-, 40- and 60-second pauses between repeats, the regular version of the patch (with those variations in it) can be found at. I posted this over at the DOSBox forums, but figured that it probably deserved to be here, as well, since the game is officially supported by ScummVM. I didnt want to create 6 more file diffs, 3 for the Windows patcher and 3 for the DOS patcher, since thats a lot of busywork just for an alternate version of my patch. The brother of Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft, is caught in an explosion when his club, the Diogenes, is blown up. If you believe that things are not moving as quickly as you would like, then you're free to talk with the original developers yourself. The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel - ScummVM :: Wiki. Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes (Scalpel) - Repeating Music. The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo was an adventure game that was the sequel to The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel. But trying to force people to do something which they do for free on their own free time is becoming annoying. OK, we realize you want to get this game supported. Electronic Arts provided us with the source code of the game. PS: Which english word fits better? Perhaps something like difficult? The Duke-Nukem-comparison was already made. The Sherlock engine was used in The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel and The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo. Also has the most recent bug fixes as of 23 March 1992. Replace the STARTREK.EXE file in your game directory with this file. Perhaps sirlemonhead could join the discussion again to clarify? A new STAR TREK: 25th Anniversary EXE file that allows you to bypass any combat (except for the training battle against the Republic) by pressing the F8 key. ![]() ![]() I thought it was a problem with sirlemonheads contact being to busy in some way to recover the sources from nearly 25 years old media. So it is a legal issue then and sirlemonhead already has the code?! If he could secure a release for those as GPL-2, then the work of conversion, updating and refactoring them by a GSoC student would be possible. Digitall wrote:a.borque: Slow is not quite the right English word here.Īs far as I know based on his statements here, only sirlemonhead has got a copy of the original sources from the developer / rightsholder and he doesn't appear to have permission to share those with the rest of the team or a random GSoC student. ![]()
