WME: Wintermute games not recognised

[albadross]

Being the New Year and a new Carol Reed Mystery, I have got round to sending you an up-to-date list of the Carol Reed mysteries that I own that are not yet recognised. All games in the attached list were originally designed for Windows and downloaded from the author’s respective websites.

All standard English versions downloaded from author @ www.mdna-games.com

By the way, I have just noticed that my Carol Reed 7 is recognised but not included on your clipboard pop-up message as recognised. I do not know the status of the demo for that game that is listed as recognised.

Replying to albadross:

By the way, I have just noticed that my Carol Reed 7 is recognised but not included on your clipboard pop-up message as recognised. I do not know the status of the demo for that game that is listed as recognised.

Matched game IDs list prints only one variant for each game (e.g. it prints "carolreed7-demo-win" if detection tables contains "carolreed7-demo-win", "carolreed7-win", etc). Not sure if it is a bug or a feature.

WINTERMUTE: Add detection for games listed in #10863

This pull request adds all games listed in
https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/10863:
Carol Reed 10 - Bosch's Damnation
Carol Reed 11 - Shades Of Black
Carol Reed 12 - Profound Red
Carol Reed 13 - The Birdwatcher
Carol Reed 14 - The Fall Of April
Rebecca Carlson Mystery 01 - Silent Footsteps
Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting (Enhanced Edition)
Rhiannon: Curse of the four Branches (Premium Edition)

I don't have those games, so I can't check if those sums are correct.

Those games are now detectable, but the engine versions for them are unknown which mean that some minor features might work incorrectly. I need someone to look at game executable properties for exact engine version used.

Could you please right-click on files like Bosch.exe and check engine version on Details tab? It should be something like "File version: 1.9.3.0" / "Product name: Wintermute engine" / "Product version: 1.9.3" / "Copyright (c) Dead:Code 2011"

Games from Carol Reed series that need to be checked:

• Carol Reed 4 - East Side Story (English, not demo)
• Carol Reed 12 - Profound Red
• Carol Reed 13 - The Birdwatcher
• Carol Reed 14 - The Fall Of April

[albadross]

These days I run a Linux system which does not have a Details tab under Properties so I have copied the executables back to an old Windows 7 machine and have got the following results for you.

Carol Reed 4 – East Side Story (ess.exe)

File version:1.7.2.0" / "Product name: Wintermute engine" / "Product version: 1.7.2" /
"Copyright (c) Dead:Code 2007"

I am not sure if I ever downloaded the SD versions of the later games but here are the HD versions :

Carol Reed 12 - Profound Red (Profound Red HD.exe)
Carol Reed 13 - The Birdwatcher (The Birdwatcher HD.exe)
Carol Reed 14 - The Fall Of April (The Fall Of April HD.exe)

These are all like your example :

File version:1.9.3.0" / "Product name: Wintermute engine" / "Product version: 1.9.3" /
"Copyright (c) Dead:Code 2011"
