@afxgroup

Thanks for the screenshots Andrea.

I don't know what system do you use, but is it fast enough to play it without any problems (even when it comes to battle)?

@Phantom

it seems fast. i never tried it deeply but i have no problem. To speed up the whole thnigs redirect the shell output to >NIL: it will help a lot..

@afxgroup

I've found both Baldur's Gate's from a friend, so I will test them in my Sam shortly.

@afxgroup

Can you please provide me with an example cfg of several games installed? (e.g Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale 1 and 2).

Moreover, how do you switch to full screen?

I have installed Incewind Dale (the first on) on my SamEp667Mhz. Game speed is for sure not 100% emulated but I need to test it more...

IMPORTANT EDIT: Tried your suggestion for >nill and this is it! Now 100% speed, like the original. I strongly suggest you to implement this on the readme file!

@afxgroup

looks great! now to dig up IceWind Dale that i know I had somewhere in my basement & try it out during the Christmas break

@Cool_amigaN

1) I'll publish some cfg but basically you must only change the game path and the game type
2) I'll build a small gui to load the games (or maybe someone with some free time could do it..)
3) for the full screen you must use the game switch since the fullscreen is no more changed by the cfg file but from the game.ini (present in every game)
4) i'll add the >NIL: in the read me.. but this is common to every game that use the shell a lot..

@afxgroup

From my understanding, I cannot find they way to edit the gemrb.cfg to install more than one game, so I have to duplicate the entire folder, edit the .cfg and install a new game.

(I tried also to duplicate the cfg only and rename it to the exact game that corresponds e.g icewind dale.cfg and icewind dale II.cfg but it always looks for gemrb.cfg only..)

Moreover, I looked to the icewind dale.ini and couldn't find the option to play at fullscreen mode. Can you help me on this?

Now, I will be testing Icewind Dale 2.

edit: Will a "Fullscreen=1", without the quotes, work, if implemented to the .ini?

edit 2: OK, it worked!

@Afx

the games work fine here just a problem with the save game.. i am not able to save the game..

for multiple installation, the best way is to create a directory per game with the GemRB installed replacing the GemRB's icon with the game icon

@afxgroup

I can see you have the Homeworld cd in your drive...

@nubechecorre
Make a save directory in the directory's game and assign the savepaths in the gemrb.cfg.

Now some questions.

1.- How I can redirect the shell to >NIL: ?
2.- When play the game, the shell displays some errors, but it works. Someone knows Why ?

I'm playing Icewind Dale.

@RIBDEVIL

Start the game from CLI and add >NIL: at the end.

Which games have you tested?

I have already done the same, just as you described it, but IMHO, we need a good frontend to choose games., so as to have all the data needed on the same repository.

Having multiple games reside on the same folders didn't work for me so far although I tried some options and help I found on the web.

On other news, Icewind Dale II does not work since I have a chitin.key error. Tried to figure out what this means without any success.

Btw, Planetscape Torment hasn't any "full" installation option in Windows. This means that you have to copy the entire folder from every cd.

On windows, you have to modify the .ini as well. Is that necessary for GemRB as well?

@Cool_amigaN

So, what game have you tried so far that played normally?

@Phantom

Only Icewind Dale I & II yet. Didn't had the time testing rest of the games supported by GemRB during the weekend. I will be doing so, within this week. Starting by Baldur's Gate series.

However, I have another question for the Icewind Dale I. Should I use a patched version for the data or extract only the original files from the cd?

Seems, Andreas, is busy lately with all these porting stuff ;)

Hope when he has the time, to take another look at GemRB and clarify some questions :)

@Cool_amigaN

I have tried: Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 plus Icewind dale and for every game i create a directory with GemRB and the data files of the game

@nubechecorre

Yeap, so far, this is what I am doing also. Create multiple installations of GemRB, rename them, editing the cfg (and the .ini in case of Icewind Dale I). What version of IWD I do you use? The patched version, or the original? Game so far works without probs here (original cds used for extraction). Have you tried IWDII and Planetscape Torment? I get an error on the first one regarding chitin.key (the registry key) and game does not load.

@Cool_amigaN

IIRC you can use -c switch to select a different configuration..
