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.

• File loading is approximately 1,000,000,000,000,000 times faster (give or take a few powers of ten).
• Song length now correctly calculated (sorry about that)
• Bogus delays that cause problems are now automatically removed when loading a file
• Entirely GUI-based, no console output
• New "Find Next" dialog
• Removed analysis feature (for now)
• Internal restructure
• No longer requires PythonCard

A SCUMM script compiler with support for SCUMM V3, V4, and V5. It can parse text files as output from ScummVM's descumm tool. Very useful for hacking existing LucasArts adventure games. Check out the manual for more information.

• v2 r13
• Much more accurate error reporting.
• Pyparsing library now included in the source.
• Fix example script in the manual (escape codes were "\x033" instead of "\x03").

Manual (HTML)

An online copy of the Scummbler manual, which is also distributed with the source code.

Pack and unpack resource files for LucasArts games. Currently supports Monkey Island 1 CD, Monkey Island 2, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (i.e. all SCUMM v5 games). Can also pack and unpack monster.sou files.

• v2 r2
• Added support for General Midi sound blocks ("GMD"), as possibly found in the Sam and Max WIP demo. Added by request for inserting new music into games.

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..

• v2 r2
• You can now do a mass import/export of sounds that automatically map to line numbers, including lip-synch tags.

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.

• v1 r2
• Now useable without having to edit the source code.
• Fixed idiotic bug that prevented encoding from working with 8-bit PNGs.
