Residual

[konqithedragon]

The project 'Residual' http://residual.sourceforge.net/ (a GrimE engine recreation) has recently announced that Grim Fandango is now completable (with only minor bugs), so am wondering if anyone who owns a Pandora would want to try porting it and seeing how well it runs.

That would be awesome!

A port would be nice. Seems to require the usual OpenGL --> OpenGL ES conversion.


Found some related discussion about the possibility of porting Residual to N900.

well looking at that topic, someone did successfully port it to the N900 and posted a video of it.

YES! YES! Someone please give it a good port/go!

I am really looking forward to this, I installed Virtual box and ran Win98 a few weeks ago to play this.


I love this game and will hold off until someone ports it, I'm up to chapter 2 so far.

I just hope the Residual team can steamroll through this year and be able to get "Monkey Island 4" working.

Well even tho I don't have my pandora yet, I made an attempt a couple of weeks ago at cross-compiling Residual and removed the "-DUSE_OPENGL" from the DEFINES variable (so it would run via software rather than having to convert opengl).. however I failed at compiling it, can't remember what the error was, was missing some file.


Has anyone else tried yet?

Hi,


Tried this last night, got it to run pretty nicely (see attachments)


Problems:


* In dialogs, response highlight doesn't works, even if selection does (meaning that you can select a response but you don't have any visual indication)


* Multi-lines subtitles (seems that only last line is displayed)


I will look into that & tweak the PND some more before release (default config file, perhaps ), but it's nice to see how well it runs!

Amazing! Looking forward to seeing it come together

Wow, cool!


If you can work around this issues, it will be really great! But who needs subtitles anyways, when you have speech.


Thanks for this and hoping for a release soon

sounds great, this is always a game I wanted to try!

 

[Caine]

This is very good news indeed. You have my gratitude.

Hi again,


Ok, seems I'm a lucky guy, fix for the two issues above were merged in master git one hour ago ( https://github.com/residual/residual/pull/222 )


So, I built the PND and posted in the repo


Here's the Beta testing post:





Any comment is appreciated!

AWESOME


Never played the game because no engine was available so far, but looks like that has changed now

 

[RETRONATE]

This is brilliant!.. I love this game!

 

[cubelindo]

Grim Fandango ... sweet!

Stella, nice one Clop

Yes! I was hoping this would be done, thanks so much.
