DIRECTOR: Unknown game variant for director - Kings of the Ice

[jamie-marchant]

The game in 'base' seems to be an unknown game variant.

The program is 'The Kings of the Ice'

Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add and its version, language, etc.:

Matched game IDs for the director engine: director-win-fallback

Hitting add anyways cause the game to crash wtih

"WARNING: Cast::loadConfig(): Wrong format. VWCF resource missing!"
Kings Of The Ice is a 2002 release and uses panoramas.

There is also a "WARNING: info <ProductName>: <Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio>!". I can copy the full console printouts if that would help.

I don't know the progress you have made on Director but if the announcement from last year is correct, my problem is this software uses a version of director that is too new.

[jamie-marchant]

Director 8 is not yet supported.

[jamie-marchant]

Even though this is the wrong version of director, I think people still want to know about it.(to have a record)

Do you still have the disc available? We can add this entry to the tables but it'd be better to have an additional file for detection (just HOCKEY.EXE is too generic)

Thanks
