ScummC Tools

Welcome to the ScummC Tools. These tools are made to simplify the creation of Adventure Games with the Scumm Compiler ScummC. At the moment you can download:

CHAR-Editor (Font Editor)
ROOM-Editor (Room Resource Editor)
COST-Editor (Animation Editor - not yet released)

If you are interested in the source code, write me an E-Mail. The tools are written in PureBasic, a platform independent, fast and simple language. It is perfectly suited for GUI applications because native GUI elements on every platform are used (Sorry, but GTK is crap on all non-Linux systems).

IMPORTANT: *.char and *.cost files are standard resource files of ScummC. But *.room files created with room editor can't be used with the current version of ScummC. ScummC needs to be changed a bit to use room resources directly. That will be my next task. I had tried to contact the author of ScummC, without success. If someone wants to support me (my C++ skills are not the best), I do not mind. Thank you!

Here you can find out how it is supposed to work someday: Build your SCUMM Adventure!

CHAR-Editor

With this editor you can create, import, edit and save fonts in LucasArts format. The used file format (*.char) is identical to the CHAR-blocks inside the original SCUMM resource files. So you can easily export CHAR-blocks from SCUMM resource files and open/edit them with the editor. Or vice versa you can create and save fonts as *.char files and use them directly for building SCUMM resources.

ROOM-Editor

With this editor you can create, import, edit and save all room resources. The used file format (*.room) is identical to a data stream which contains all room resource blocks except of scripts.
