I didn't realize I had another response to my query until I happened to look today for any further suggestions. PattiRMA: Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply to me. :P Let's hope GOG will add the disk version one day and the FM-Towns one, I'd love replaying Loom getting the best experience. That's mainly why I asked, since I remembered the parts with music and I was sad that it was all silent except for the few dialogues that pop up from time.Īnyways, thanks a lot for the help, this way I'll stop tweaking ScummVM's settings hehe. Or when you get to the glass maker guilt and you get that whole panoramic of the green buildings you used to have music too which I don't get with this talkie version. In my case, if you skip the track that's it, absolute silence. It's a shame then though, I miss the music parts like when Bobbin wakes up, he gets all that 'wake up son of cygna' dialogue and afterwards, music keeps sounding till you go see the Elders. Even I played and still own the CD talkie version I obviously remember more the disk version since it was the one I used to play more. You're right and that is probably it, because I owned Loom both in 3 1/2 disks and, when cd-rom players came out,it came with Loom in CD as bonus. a character speaking, or using the distaff) the music would have had to be stopped. (A single, long track that the game would play short pieces of.) It didn't play any background music besides that, probably because as soon as there was any other sound (e.g. Maybe I misunderstand the question, but as far as I know the only sound in the CD version of Loom is what was on the audio track of CD. I believe the first LucasArts adventure to have almost non-stop music was Monkey Island 2. (But if you tried to play it in a CD player, you would hear two voices talking at the same time.) Personally I've only seen it in Loom and Chronicles of the Sword, where the latter used the additional trick of putting half of the voices in the left audio channel and the other half in the right one, doubling the amount of speech it could fit into one disc. I don't think this method of implementing speech was very common, but I guess talkie games were still in their infancy.

Any help to fix that? :( Maybe I misunderstand the question, but as far as I know the only sound in the CD version of Loom is what was on the audio track of CD. The music tracks that were in audio from the cd version play fine but the rest of the tracks are completely silent. in the realm of the shepards, before the sheep came out, there was a strange graphics glitch - an orthogonal white line, standing in the middle of the field.Īs this list demonstrates, the game actually worked perfectly! And is one of the best adventures I ever saw (if it were only Grim Fandango-like larger ).Tenar: I'm having the same problem with Loom. at crystalgard, lost synch of txt to sound completely during the initial conversation This might be my mistake though something fell around my F5-F10 keys at that point:) Probably not worth checking, but thought Id mention it for completeness

when the shepparts block my path, i lost sound during the initial conversation. mp3), with the newest scummvm (0.9 win (ill probably try GNU/linux ver too) - downloaded today) - it worked pretty much great, but thought to report a couple of minor issues, if this is of any help.

Hello! Just finished playing Loom ('Talkie' version - thats the DOS CDROM ver from 1992, right - only the audio was extracted into an.
