How Do You Save In Scumm?

[Maks]

I have day of the tentacle on my GP32 at the moment but I cannot work out how to save! I press start and go into the save menu but I don'y know how to enter the save name so it wont save. How do I get it to save?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thankyou

try fiddling with the control stick while holding the R button, I ond't know the logic but I managed to get a save game called "Oy" with it and it makes me happy

Holding R goes into keyboard.... press up/down to change letter then right to go to the next letter.

Cool, thanks a heap!

I have another Q though, i'm playing DOTT and it asks me to look at some plans and correct them from the manual, only problem is I don't have a manual. Does anybody know where I can get a copy (on the internet)?

sorry, I forgot to ask

Thanks again

You don't need the manual the copy-protection has already been taken care of in Scumm. Just click on the corner of the plans.

Thanx for the help!

I'm pretty new to scumm and was just wondering how you use games that require keyboard presses?

In Indy Jones for example there is a bit where you're in a boxing ring and the game requires you to box by pressing keys on a keyboard. Obviously there isn't one on on the GP32 so what do you do?

sumner2003,

ScummVM for the GP32 features a virtual keyboard when required that is used by holding the R button and up/down to scroll letters, left sets the key and moves over one space.

It's not ideal but is quite elegant when you get used to. It is (of course) all documented in the read me .

It's about the best I can do without adding support for things like the chat board. There are also some mappings for ‘quick keys’ in the 0.5.1 version that enable you to use R and Up/Down in the game to quickly select actions like open/use etc. experiment with that and see how you go.
