King's Quest 7: Checksums for SoftClub version (official Russian CD)

[trcpman]

ScummVM version: 2.1.0
Game version: Official Russian CD from SoftClub
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64

Hello. I've found Russian version of King's Quest 7 from SoftClub, but ScummVM doesn't know md5 checksums.
SoftClub version is an official version of game with speech, textures and video translate.

The game in 'Kings Quest 7 (RUS)\' seems to be an unknown game variant.

Matched game IDs for the SCI [all games] engine: kq7-win

Thank you for this, can you report the contents of the VERSION file so we can include that information in our detection table? It's just a small text file.

I didn't know about SoftClub until now but I see that we have a detection table entry for their release of Torin's Passage.

VERSION: 2.1b

Can you please also tell us, if the Russian version is bilingual or Russian only.
Plus does it have Russian voices, or just Russian text?

Only Russian.

Plus does it have Russian voices, or just Russian text?

Russian text, voices(dub) and video translate.

voices(dub) and video translate

Wow, I didn't expect that.

@trcpman: Thank you, this will appear in the next daily development build which will be labeled "Jan 4": ​https://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html. Can you please report back if this works for you? We are preparing version 2.1.1 for later this month and if you can verify this works then it can be included. I'll leave this ticket open for now.

@m-kiewitz I used the default KQ7 flags plus language, which is consistent with the other localized KQ7s and the SoftClub entry for Torin's Passage, let me know if I missed something. Or, just commit it? =)

I've checked last (4 Jan 2020) development build, everything fine exept one:

If i choose DOS version, text and voices translated to russian, but video intro not,
because disk has 2 version videos:

03.01.2020 00:20 <DIR> ..
08.11.1994 17:45 21 948 444 1

05.08.2003 16:01 22 052 864 INT08X11.AVI

Avi was translated, but other one not.

If i choose WIN version: text, voices and video translated.

Can you please try to start the DOS version using the original interpreter?
Possibly the DOS version wasn't fully translated, but the Windows version was.

Replying to m-kiewitz:

No, I can't do it, because disk doesn't have dos installer.

Possibly the DOS version wasn't fully translated, but the Windows version was.

There is no dos version, only non translated videos.
PS: I can provide iso image for testing.

[m-kiewitz]

It also doesn't have a DOS interpreter?

Can you please provide a file listing of all the files that are on the CD?

If you could provide us with a way to purchase this version, that would be helpful.

I think no.

Actually no, the disk has out of print for a long time.

[m-kiewitz]

I meant maybe a way to buy a used copy.

If there is no DOS interpreter, I guess it's fine to make this release Windows only.

[sluicebox]

I've removed the DOS detection entry since there is no DOS interpreter, and more importantly, since running in DOS mode causes the game scripts to play untranslated RBT files instead of the translated AVI files: ac850dbfaa6b6601a3f8dbfaf99341d6f809d800

Adding this to the 2.1 branch since it's been confirmed to work. Great find, trcpman!

[sluicebox]

I am leaving this open for a while longer to not discourage trcpman from replying about where to get a hold of this game. =)

[sluicebox]

Presumably trcpman is out enjoying the adventures of Valanice and Rosella and doesn't know where we can buy their ancient CD.
