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.

This tool is licensed under the MIT license.

Pack and unpack resource files for LucasArts games, opening up the possibilites for modifying the games (manipulating graphics, adding new rooms, replacing SCUMM scripts, etc). Supports the following games:

• Day of the Tentacle
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (VGA)
• Loom (CD)
• Monkey Island 1 (EGA)
• Monkey Island 1 (VGA)
• Monkey Island 1 (CD)
• Monkey Island 2
• Sam and Max Hit the Road
• Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (FM-TOWNS)

A tool to assist in adding or replacing speech to the old LucasArts adventure games that make use of MONSTER.SOU or *.BUN sound resources. Useful in re-dubbing the game for translation. It only works on sound resources that have been compressed using the ScummVM tools; as such, the games will only be playable using ScummVM.

This tool works on text extracted with scummtr; this program is included in the Win32 Binaries package for ScummSpeaks. Note that the text must be extracted with particular settings.

Currently, ScummSpeaks only supports modifying MONSTER.SOU or .BUN files that have been compressed to another format, using the ScummVM tools.

You can also theoretically use it to add speech to games that never originally had it! 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 of the game where variables are used instead of hard-coded strings.

A background graphics compressor/decompressor for SCUMM v2, v5 and v6 resources.

For V5/6, it only compresses losslessly and without transparency. Normally, it 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 by default, but this can be configured. Images must be PNG, and requires game resources contained within an "LFLF" directory as dumped/accepted by ScummPacker.

For V2, it works on resources output from scummrp.

There is also experimental support for V1 resources, including object images, as output by scummrp; however, it does not look like scummrp can insert the generated resources back into the original games files. I'm not sure why. Note that scummrp also does not output the common colour palette; you can use the included v1col_extract and v1col_insert tools to get this information.

Full instructions are available in the Readme.txt file included.

A tool to modify DRO files, the raw OPL (i.e. Adlib) recordings output from DOSBox, supporting all versions of the DRO format. Pretty simple. It just loads up the data into a table, and you can delete instructions as you see fit.

It also has the ability to play DRO files within the editor, so you can listen to the song from any point, and see how your edits sound straight away. It also has a command-line executable, "dro_player.exe", for playing DRO songs.

There's a little bit of magic for V1 files, as sometimes DOSBox likes to record long (bogus) delays before the register initialization, which screws up the sounds of instruments. DRO Trimmer can detect these bogus delays and remove them automatically when the file is loaded. This does not occur for V2 files, since I don't think they suffer the same issue.
