The end of the year is almost upon us, along with a new release of ScummVM. So here's a quick update for one of the more ambitious sub-projects that has been percolating along in the background: Macromedia Director support! For those who aren't aware, Macromedia Director was a popular framework used for thousands of games, educational titles, catalogues, art pieces, and other multimedia works.

## New Games For Testing

First off, the upcoming 2.8.0 release will have some new supported games, and we need your help testing them!

* _Alice: An Interactive Museum_
* _Ape Odyssey_
* _Classical Cats_
* _Gadget: Invention, Travel and Adventure_
* _The Cute Machine_
* _The Dark Eye_
* _Wrath of the Gods_

You will need the data files from the games' original install media, and a [daily build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily) of ScummVM. For Macintosh editions, you will need to run the disc images through [Dumper Companion](https://www.scummvm.org/dumper-companion) in order to extract a complete copy of the files. In the case of The Dark Eye, you will also need the files created by the installer. As always, if you run into issues, please let us know on the [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

If your favorite isn't in the supported list, don't despair! ScummVM can open Director titles from 1995 and earlier, so grab the latest [daily build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily) and give it a try. Titles released after 1995 tend to use Director versions that aren't supported yet. If you get stuck, reach out on the [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/) and we can try and help.

If you've encountered a Director title that isn't recognized by ScummVM, that's great! Please let us know on the [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/) so the title can be added to the detection list.

## Engine versions

As of the time of writing, ScummVM can detect **1595** different titles based on Director, with the following counts by Director version:

| D0 | D1 | D2 | D3 | D4 | D5 | D6 | D7 | D8 | D9 | D10 | D11 |
|----|----|----|-----|-----|-----|-----|----|-----|----|-----|-----|
| 12 | 1 | 14 | 288 | 602 | 262 | 194 | 97 | 138 | 31 | 36 | 4 |

ScummVM 2.8.0 will be the first release to include preliminary support for the D5 version of Director! A lot of work has gone into overhauling the codebase to support multiple cast libraries, however there is still plenty of work to be done adding Lingo functions and Xtras.

Adding support for a new Director version is a tricky process. First we need to check for any changes to the movie file format, then add in any new engine and Lingo features, and finally start working through issues in a bunch of candidate games. Because of the difficulty of keeping track of facts vs. assumptions, we only enable features for an engine version once they have been confirmed with testing. This is why D6 and higher games will not open at all, even if the code we have would somewhat work.

Support for the D2, D3 and D4 versions of Director has steadily improved. We are building up a suite of unit tests, both for Lingo and for the various drawing modes in the renderer. Most of the remaining bugs are related to undefined or incidental behavior: consider how two types in Lingo are compared, or the precise order that events are processed in, or how functions respond when you pass them nonsense data? All of these things are relied upon by thousands of Director products! And ScummVM must support all of them as closely as possible.

## XLibs

Macromedia provided a C API with Director, which proved to be very popular for adding new engine features. There are hundreds of XObject and Xtra libraries in circulation, and each has to be reverse engineered and added as code to ScummVM. As of the time of writing, we have added support for **63** of these libraries.

A common use case is video; Director includes the ability to play back QuickTime videos as a sprite, but computers of the day would struggle with the added overhead of Director's renderer if the video resolution was larger than a postage stamp. To work around this, several XLibs exist to play back video as an accelerated overlay. Quite a few D3 and D4 titles are missing video playback due to this type of XLib, and we plan on creating a common method of supporting these.

The good news is that most uncommon XLibs did only one or two things, and are pretty easy to add initial support for. Part of the XLib format is a list of docstrings explaining each of the functions; there is a script in `/devtools` which can turn these docstrings into stubbed C++ code, saving a lot of hassle.

---

That's about it! We have some very dedicated volunteers scouring every corner of the globe for obscure Director titles and testing them; if that sounds like your bag, you can visit them in the #engine-director channel of the [ScummVM Discord](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG). Until next time!
La fine dell'anno si avvicina, e con essa una nuova release di ScummVM. Ecco quindi un rapido aggiornamento a proposito di uno dei sottoprogetti più ambiziosi, che è stato portato avanti a piccoli passi ma con costanza: Macromedia Director!
Per chi non ne fosse a conoscenza, Macromedia Director è stato un popolare framework, utilizzato per migliaia di giochi, software educativi, cataloghi, opere artistiche e multimediali.

## Nuovi Giochi Da Testare

Innanzitutto, la prossima release 2.8.0 includerà il supporto per alcuni nuovi giochi, e abbiamo bisogno del vostro aiuto per testarli!

For many years, the GOG.com affiliate program has been a great way to support the project. By using our affiliate links to buy your favorite games, you granted us a small commission from GOG.com – without having to spend more than the original price.

Earlier this year, GOG.com announced the discontinuation of its old affiliate program. Instead of using a simple referral link, they are now using two external affiliation networks that contain cross-site tracking, as considered by many ad blockers. Since we have been affiliated with GOG.com since 2009, we were able to use the legacy referral links for a couple of months after they initially discontinued them.

Unfortunately, our affiliate links were put to rest effective November 22nd, 2023.

Since we don't feel comfortable that you would have to use external affiliation networks just to support the project, and because tracking users is against our project policies, we decided not to join the new program.

We still value GOG.com as an excellent source for legally purchasing games supported by ScummVM. Even though we are not affiliated with them anymore, we'll continue to support their releases, e.g. by adding and updating the game data files' signatures for the ScummVM supported games that are available for purchase from GOG.com in our detection database and providing links to their releases in [our list of available games](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Where_to_get_the_games).

Thank you GOG.com and everybody who used our affiliate link for your support over the last 14 years!
Per molti anni, il programma di affiliazione a GOG.com è stato un ottimo modo per supportare il nostro progetto. Utilizzando i nostri link affiliati per l'acquisto dei giochi, una piccola commissione veniva automaticamente assegnata a ScummVM, senza alcun sovrapprezzo sul costo originale.

A inizio anno, GOG.com ha annunciato il ritiro del vecchio programma di affiliazione. Anziché un semplice link referral, il nuovo programma usa due network di affiliazione esterni, che contengono tracking cross-site e vengono rilevati da diversi adblocker. Tuttavia, siccome siamo stati affiliati a GOG.com dal 2009, abbiamo potuto mantenere attivi i vecchi link per un paio di mesi oltre la data di dismissione.

Sfortunatamente, i link sono stati definitivamente disabilitati a partire dal 22 novembre 2023.

Dato che non ci sembra corretto obbligarvi a utilizzare questi network per supportare il progetto, e siccome il tracking degli utenti va contro le nostre linee guida, abbiamo deciso di non aderire al nuovo programma.

Riteniamo che GOG.com sia comunque una eccellente risorsa per reperire legalmente molti giochi supportati da ScummVM. Anche se non faremo più parte del loro programma di affiliazione, continueremo a supportare le loro release, aggiornando periodicamente le signature dei file dati dei giochi e linkando le loro release nella pagina wiki [dove reperire i giochi](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Where_to_get_the_games).

Ringraziamo GOG.com e tutti coloro che hanno utilizzato i nostri link affiliati per il contributo (durato 14 anni!)

Put your sleuthing caps on, detectives—it’s time to solve some mysteries! We are proud to announce that a whole batch of HeR Interactive’s Nancy Drew games are now ready for public testing:

In [_Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_Stay_Tuned_for_Danger), a soap opera star needs your help in uncovering who is behind a series of death threats that sound a little too real for comfort.

[_Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_Message_in_a_Haunted_Mansion) has you helping out with repairs in a Victorian mansion. However, a series of strange accidents, plus some murmurings of a ghost haunting, quickly threaten to turn this renovation into an investigation.

In [_Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_Treasure_in_the_Royal_Tower) a failed ski vacation at an eccentric castle with even more eccentric inhabitants soon turns into a quest to uncover a lost piece of the history of the French Revolution.

And if you’re looking for something more thrilling, in [_Nancy Drew: The Final Scene_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_The_Final_Scene), you will find yourself racing against the clock to find your kidnapped friend, while also saving a historical theater with more than a fair share of secrets from demolition.

The games are available for purchase through [HeR Interactive’s website](https://www.herinteractive.com/shop-games/all-games/) or [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=nancy+drew) (Stay Tuned for Danger is not available on Steam, however). Or if you already own a CD copy of the games, their English and Russian variants will also work. To play them with ScummVM, you will need a [daily development build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). As always, if you encounter any issues, please submit a bug report to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
Indossate il vostri cappelli da investigatore, detective - ci sono dei misteri da risolvere! Siamo orgogliosi di annunciare che diversi giochi della serie Nancy Drew della HeR Interactive sono pronti per la fase di test pubblica:

In [_Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_Stay_Tuned_for_Danger), una stella delle telenovelas ha bisogno del tuo aiuto per scoprire chi si cela dietro a una sequenza di minacce di morte, troppo serie per essere ignorate.

In [_Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_Message_in_a_Haunted_Mansion), sei convolta nella ristrutturazione di una villa Vittoriana. Tuttavia una serie di strani incidenti, e le dicerie di una possibile infestazione di fantasmi, trasformano rapidamente la ristrutturazione in una investigazione.

In [_Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_Treasure_in_the_Royal_Tower) una fallimentare settimana bianca in un eccentrico castello, con ospiti ancora più eccentrici, diventa una sorta di caccia al tesoro per svelare una parte sconosciuta della Rivoluzione Francese.

E se sei alla ricerca di qualcosa di più elettrizzante, in [_Nancy Drew: The Final Scene_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_The_Final_Scene), sarai impegnata in una corsa contro il tempo per rintracciare una tua amica rapita e al contempo salvare uno storico teatro (che racchiude non pochi segreti) dalla demolizione.

I giochi sono acquistabili tramite il [sito della HeR Interactive](https://www.herinteractive.com/shop-games/all-games/) o [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=nancy+drew) (nota: Stay Tuned for Danger non è disponibile su Steam). Se invece disponi dei CD, le versioni in Inglese e in Russo sono anch'esse supportate. Per utilizzare questi giochi, avrai bisogno di un [daily build della versione di sviluppo](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). Come sempre, se riscontri malfunzionamenti, ti invitiamo a segnalarli sul nostro [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

We are very pleased to announce today the start of the testing period of two single-game engines: _Kingdom: The Far Reaches_ and _Escape From Hell_!

[_Kingdom_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Kingdom:_The_Far_Reaches), was developed and released by Interplay in 1995. Only the DOS version of the game (available on [gog.com](https://www.gog.com/en/game/kingdom_the_far_reaches?pp=22d200f8670dbdb3e253a90eee5098477c95c23d)) is supported. It's a cartoon FMV game, with an inventory, in which you have to guide Lathan Kandor through a medieval world, discovering the magic spells and the items required to defeat an evil wizard.

[_Escape From Hell_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Escape_from_Hell), was developed for Electronic Arts by the game veterans Richard Seaborne and Alan Murphy and was released in 1990. You play Alan in this keyboard-only Role Playing Game and visit Hell, looking for your girlfriend who was accidentally teleported there.

Both games use heavily hardcoded logic which is error prone and requires a lot of testing, so we need your feedback more than ever as they are both incompletely tested. There is sadly only one known demo for [Kingdom](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/kingdom/). Support for the Windows and Mac versions of _Kingdom_ may come later! Please [contact us](https://www.scummvm.org/contact/) if you have some other demos of both games.

To play any of these games, you will need a [daily development build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). As always, please submit your bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/) and please take some [screenshots](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way!
Siamo lieti di annunciare l'inizio della fase di test per due nuovi motori, ciascuno dedicato ad un singolo gioco: _Kingdom: The Far Reaches_ e _Escape From Hell_!

[_Kingdom_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Kingdom:_The_Far_Reaches), è stato sviluppato e rilasciato dalla Interplay nel 1995. Solamente la versione DOS del gioco (disponibile su [gog.com](https://www.gog.com/en/game/kingdom_the_far_reaches?pp=22d200f8670dbdb3e253a90eee5098477c95c23d)) è supportata. Si tratta di un gioco FMV in stile cartoon, dove dovrai guidare Lathan Kandor attraverso un mondo medievale, scoprire incantesimi e recuperare gli oggetti necessari per sconfiggere un mago malvagio.

[_Escape From Hell_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Escape_from_Hell), è stato sviluppato per la Electronic Arts dai programmatori veterani Richard Seaborne e Alan Murphy, e rilasciato nel 1990. In questo gioco di ruolo, controllato esclusivamente da tastiera, impersoni Alan e visiti l'Inferno alla ricerca della tua ragazza, che è stata accidentalmente teletrasportata lì.

Entrambi i giochi utilizzano ampiamente la logica hardcoded, che è soggetta a errori e richiede molti controlli. Pertanto più che mai necessitiamo del tuo feedback, dato che entrambi i giochi non sono stati testati a sufficienza. Sfortunatamente, è disponibile solamente una demo di [Kingdom](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/kingdom/). Il supporto per le versioni Windows e Mac di _Kingdom_ potrebbe essere aggiunto in futuro! Per favore [contattaci](https://www.scummvm.org/contact/) se possiedi altri demo dei due giochi.

Per provare questi giochi, avrai bisogno di un [daily build della versione di sviluppo](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). Come sempre, puoi segnalare eventuali bug sul nostro [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/), e non dimenticarti di catturare qualche [screenshot](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots)!

_Dark Side_, the exciting sequel of the groundbreaking [_Driller_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Driller), is ready for public testing!

[_Dark Side_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Dark_Side), like its predecessor, was released by Incentive Software Limited in 1988, shortly after _Driller_. The updated gameplay features a jetpack that allows you to leave the ground, providing a new and fresh perspective that emphasizes the excitement and challenges of exploring Tricuspid, the second alien moon of planet Evath.

This time, the vicious Ketars have scattered and hidden Energy Collection Devices (ECD) around their base to destroy your home planet. It’s up to you to destroy them first! The tricky part is many ECDs are connected to each other and can regenerate instantly, so you must figure out the right order to successfully complete your mission.

Our reimplementation of the Freescape engine features graphics using software (TinyGL) or hardware mode (OpenGL) at arbitrary resolution. The initial _Dark Side_ support includes DOS (EGA/CGA modes), ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. Additionally, there are [two playable demos](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/freescape/) if you want to test the game. Support for Amiga and AtariST will be available later! Please [contact us](https://www.scummvm.org/contact/) if you have some other release.

To play any of these supported releases, you will need a [daily development build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). As always, please submit your bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
_Dark Side_, il fantastico sequel del rivoluzionario [_Driller_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Driller), è pronto per la fase di test pubblica!

Come il suo predecessore, [_Dark Side_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Dark_Side) è stato rilasciato nel 1998 dalla Incentive Software Limited, poco dopo _Driller_. Le nuove funzionalità di gioco includono un jet-pack che, permettendo di alzarsi da terra, fornisce una nuova prospettiva di gioco focalizzata sull'esplorazione di Tricuspid, la seconda luna del pianeta alieno Evath.

Questa volta, i feroci Ketars hanno disperso e nascosto degli Energy Collection Devices (ECD) intorno alla loro base, per distruggere il tuo pianeta natio. Tocca a te distruggerli per primo! Il problema è che molti ECDs sono collegati tra loro e si rigenerano istantaneamente, dovrai quindi trovare l'ordine corretto per completare la tua missione.

La nostra reimplementazione del motore Freescape supporta modalità grafiche software (TinyGL) o hardware (OpenGL), a risoluzione qualsiasi. Il supporto iniziale per _Dark Side_ include le versioni DOS (modalità EGA/CGA), ZX Spectrum e Amstrad CPC. Inoltre, sono disponibili [due demo giocabili](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/freescape/) se intendi testare il gioco. Il supporto per le versioni Amiga e Atari ST verrà aggiunto successivamente! Per favore, [contattaci](https://www.scummvm.org/contact/) se disponi di altre versioni.

Per giocare con una di queste versioni, avrai bisogno di un [daily build di sviluppo](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). Come sempre, ti invitiamo a segnalare eventuali bug usando il nostro [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
