Made for a friendly competition on the Something Awful forums. I made the unit art and animations, and a few of the sound effects.

DRO Trimmer
| Title: | DRO Trimmer | |
| Description: | A tool to modify DRO files, the raw OPL (i.e. Adlib) recordings output from DOSBox (from around v0.65? to 0.72). Pretty simple. It just loads up the data into a table, and you can delete instructions as you see fit. This tool is licensed under the LGPL 3.0. |

Scummbler
| Title: | Scummbler | |

An online copy of the Scummbler manual, which is also distributed with the source code. |
| Tests (70.2 KB) | A suite of example scripts that can be used to test the operation of Scummbler. It contains all the scripts from the block of room 4 of MI2, some scripts from other games, and a couple with Scummbler-specific tests. NOTE: these tests are probably outdated now. | |
ScummPacker
| Title: | ScummPacker | |

ScummSpeaks
| Title: | ScummSpeaks | |
| Description: | A tool to assist in adding speech to the old LucasArts game Monkey Island 2; speech will only work when the game is played using ScummVM. Uses text extracted with scummtr, modifies the text to play a sound stored in a "monster.sou" file (or any of the compressed formats supported by ScummVM). This one actually comes with a readme file! No guarantees it'll actually be helpful, though. Check out this video on YouTube of speech in Monkey Island 2, with your typical puerile humour text modifications. It's pretty rough with a few script errors, but I did the hack before I made ScummSpeaks or Scummbler, so I was manually hex-editing scripts and copy-pasting longs strings of arbitrary numbers to play the speech. Here's a better hack, demonstrating a text-to-speech proof of concept, which is necessary for a few areas where variables are used instead of hard-coded strings.. |

SCUMM Image Encoder
| Title: | SCUMM Image Encoder (mi2img) | |
Description: |
A background graphics compressor/decompressor from SCUMM v5 resources. It only compresses losslessly and without transparency. Also leaves lots of room for the basic EGA palette and any colours used by sprites (an advanced system would reconcile all sprites used in a room and their colours with the background's palette), so backgrounds are limited to 160 colours. Input/output can be PNG, or a combination of RMHD (room header), SMAP (image data) and CLUT (colour lookup table) resources as dumped/accepted by ScummPacker. |
