Add icons for selected Adventure Game Studio's games + Bonus icons

[DavidAriyan]

The Scummvm GUI finally released. I've been so excited about this. Wanna see my favorites classic games on scummvm with it's cover art displayed is what I always looking for. The scummvm's games library is HUGE. And the icons in the packs released are not available for all games off course. Many lesser known games still have their icons blank. So i decided to ask the developer via email. And thanks to him, I finally figure it out how to make my custom icons and i want to submit it for scummvm too if possible.

The main focused here to complete the icons for available games created with Adventure Game Studio's engine (AGS).

I've been big fans of adventure, mystery, horror games or movies so many icons here are based on my personal likings.

Many of these hidden gems works fine on scummvm, some crash, some of them have really low fps render them unplayable. But off course I still hope someday scummvm team will make them playable, like Blade Runner a game that i never thought will play on phone.

The source of all the icons is mainly: google search. I googled them for majority of them. Some are in game screenshot, and some are pure custom. I used the image enhancer app for each of them. Doing some color corrections and some editing here and there. I've always avoid make the icons looks the same as the source.

I'll try add more icons when i found a game interesting. I also added non AGS games icons because again for my personal taste. If some of them already available at scummvm official icons pack, then consider what available here is the alternative version.

Hope you'll like it. Any feedbacks, comments, request, or even help to complete the ags icon packs. Because they're so many good hidden gem in that system. I'll be appreciated.

What's in the box: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gzgFx07wJML109hzcIAiSCO3ka0awQFjGm_2eB5hmyQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

Note: to use the icon pack in scummvm, rename the zip to dat example : gui-icons-ags.zip --> gui-icons-ags.dat And place them in the icon pack path you set for the scummvm. The alternative icons will immediately replace the icons available from the official scummvm icons pack, once you put them in the scummvm icon path you had set. No need to unpack or change anything in the official scummvm icon packs.

Guides: The complete list of identifiers for ags games is here https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/ags/detection_tables.h supported games start at line 227

list of AGS games by @tag2015 that are good candidates, if anybody wants to create the icons: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dYTXGlSJSkQlR7mzGXbyJIXhMwuVMJfvgvEImQg13ZE/edit?usp=sharing

Report me if you see any games that already have an icon in the scummvm's icons packs. I'll move my icons version to alternate icons. Because i just can't track every single icon. it's very time consuming. Beside i only make icon for the game that i like and worthy to have an icon. You can try to request, if you find an interesting game (especially dark, mystery, & horror themed games) please let me know.

1. Should we create a task list
2. We have the toc.md

I was referring to a task list we could ''check" wenn an icon is added.

Peronally, why close the old issue

1. If should, yes. I let you do the honors. I don't know how to make task list.

Why I close the issue #303? It was a mistake. Because i can't upload any changes there. So i created new issue and closed the old one. But now it's happening again. I can't upload new zip. So i ended up adding google drive link for new icons

[GandalfTheWhite80]

A few things for this Issue

• pls don't add/mix with non ags games -> make separate issues if you want to add/update other icons
• Add "new" games to the task list carefully. If not we will have a never ending issue. Maybe it is better to focus on the icons you provided and discuss them (if needed) in our discord channel

But it's because i liked those games (the non AGS and i like to add icons for own use. Since several of them not available yet on the official scummvm icon, why not i shared those icons here. I just can't make those icons as separate issues, because they are combinations of differents engine. Please understand.

[GandalfTheWhite80]

No I don't think I understand - sry :-(. In your latest zip are only ags* games, so this shouldn't be of concern now :-)

If you want a new/updated icon for "bladerunner-bladerunner-final" (just an example). Pls open a new iusse :-)

[GandalfTheWhite80]

I would add

• ags-bcremake
• ags-detectivegallo
• ags-neofeud
• ags-skyfall
• ags-tftoz1
• ags-tftoz2

But I added alpha transparency to all of them. Pls have a look (discussion in discord :-) )

I included the Blade Runner icon in the separate zip called alt means "alternative" alone with other non ags icons. So users can choose to use this instead of the one in the official icons pack. Ok thanks. I'll have a look at it when I have free time. Just wait. I guess from now on I'll upload all update to google drive. Since GitHub won't allow it strangely.

[GandalfTheWhite80]

If you create new issues per game (even ags) we could link them to the task list above (better way would be add the game to the task list and use the button "covert to issue")

We don't have a concept for "alternative" icons - maybe this would be a feature request / an idee you could ask about in the discord channel?

The icon files are zips - so changing a game icon to a personal favorite is not so diffcult.

Do you mean, per engine? I'll discuss this later. That is a good idea.

I have a better idea, I think im gonna remove wintermute icons from the alt.zip to new issue probably #305 as Wintermute icons. But for the alternative icons, i just leave them here, since it's not that many, and I'm not planning to make more unless I'm not satisfied with the one in the scummvm official packs.

In fact, if anybody want to use the alternative icons, like this blade runner, they just need to put the gui-icons-alt.dat to the icons path they had set along with other icons pack. No need to change anything to the official icons pack. The GUI will automatically use the alternative version instead. Just try it. Because gui-icons-"any letter".dat will considered the newest one than gui-icons-"any number".dat. So to create new issue for alternative icons is unnecessary.

I DO want that my version of Blade Runner icon to be use in the official scummvm packs. Since there are actually 2 version of icons available for Blade Runner: "bladerunner-bladerunner" (for regular version) & "bladerunner-bladerunner-final" (for the version with restored contents) . But i have checked into the official packs they both use the similar icons with no difference. Since this one is a special game an epic one i think, better icon should be use at least for the "restored contents version". Please if you or anybody could. Please help me submit this Blade Runner icons to the official pack.

[GandalfTheWhite80]

The question is (for me) do we have a new game id dor the latest remake?

• if not we should take this to the discussions
• Else make a new issue and name it 'balderunner-final icon update' or similar . And the we can discuss the Problem with the 3 versions and 2 ids

Tell me they're not similar. This is taken from the official icon packs They actually use same icons for 2 version of this game. One of them should be change with the version i have here. At least for the bladerunner-bladerunner-final.

Should I disscuss this on dischord? It's been so late here, what time is yours?

[GandalfTheWhite80]

i wasn't precise

The icons (we have ) are 100% identical. But we have 2 gameIds. One for the standard version and one for the 'final' version. But the final version was used before the current remake for the gog version.

The question: Are you refering to the gog version or to the new remake (2022)

Dude, i don't think this game has anything to do with the 2022 remake of Blade Runner. That is a different game and only run on newer device like switch. I'm not even talking about the remake. The point is Blade Runner (classic) had 2 icons in the scummvm icon pack. Or did i mistaken it? I don't know. But if you can, if possible, make the version here to the official pack. If not, it's still ok though. I still post it here in case anyone need it. I gonna make more changes after this. Please give me time.

Done. I had removed icons for other engines from the alt.zip and only left 3 icons, and primordia icon has been changed. I also added your icons from the output_crused.zip to the main ags.zip. I'm gonna open new issue for wintermute games and others. Because i found some really interesting games from those engine.

Please have a look when you have time. Thank you.

About the task list you made above, do i need to check them or just you. I'm little confused. Because i already uploaded my icons right? Only this time to Drive.

Take a look at these: Those are the same game. I use the same folder to displayed this. And this is appear when I'm about to add Blade Runner game to the Scummvm. I honestly don't know what difference about these two. Since they are the same game from the same folder. But can use different id and different icon as well.

So what do you think? Let me know if you have any thought about this.

[tag2015]

I honestly don't know what difference about these two. Since they are the same game from the same folder. But can use different id and different icon as well.

Technically it's the same game. The original game had some parts cut for various reasons, but the ScummVM developers managed to recover those parts (hence the "restored content"). However the restored version is not as stable as the other and the savegames aren't interchangeable, so instead of just a checkbox in the game options it got a different id. IMHO the icons should be identical, maybe with an added wording at the bottom "restored content" with a similar style (to be honest I prefer the one without mccoy, it looks like the movie title screen)

Adding subtitle that it had restored contents is ridiculous. They should give it different icon. Thanks for inform me about this though. IMO the title only icon should be for the original version only.

[tag2015]

Adding subtitle that it had restored contents is ridiculous. They should give it different icon.

Why is it ridiculous? Director's cut / GOTY versions usually use the same boxart, this is a similar situation. It's a matter of preference i guess.

[DavidAriyan]

It's called in my opinion. So don't take it personal.

[Thunderforge]

Discussing whether or not ScummVM should have two game ids for Blade Runner (bladerunner and bladerunner-final) is a conversation that is bigger than just this PR. For the time being, the two of them exist and we need icons for both. Whether they are the same or different is an open question.

Maybe it would be better to move Blade Runner to a separate issue and we could discuss it individually?

Yeah, i think I should. I'll make separate issue for Blade Runner.

[GandalfTheWhite80]

As far as I can the the only "missing" icons (we have not added so far) are icons without text/title. On the other hand as far as I know all our icons have a text/title.

Could you add a title to this last ones?

[tag2015]

I'll see if I can complete/improve the remaining icons so we can eventually close this

[tag2015]

Where is the "Enclosure" icon? Also, that game is not in the ags detection tables (the only one I know of is an agi game)

[tag2015]

Uploaded 6 icons, just 3 to go (plus one MIA)

[tag2015]

"Da New Guys" and "Da New Guys: Day of The Jackass" are two different games. The icon for the first one is already part of the set, while the latter is not yet available. Marked the task as such

[tag2015]

Uploaded superego and beyondhorizon (not too happy with this one, though)

I suggest keeping the issue open to see if @DavidAriyan comments about the "Enclosure" icon, then it can be closed

The Enclosure game is not ags I'm aware back then someone informed me about it. Consider it as part of the bonus icons. I'm unable to make any edit to the icons, I'm busy right now with work. And can't find spare time to make new icons. I'm sorry about that. Thank you for updating it. I'll probably come back later I let you decide to close or still open this issue. Because there's many more ags games that still need icon. So many.

[tag2015]

Ok, then I think the issue can be closed, as this tasklist is complete
