Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 I can't give you a specific date.
 I'm currently trying to figure everything out.

 The current subtitle patch is ONLY able to show subtitles and do audio at
 the same time. You can't switch the subtitles off, at least to my
 knowledge. And it also seems impossible to run the game in text-only mode.

 I'm currently trying to do exactly that. Support text-only. Audio-only and
 audio+subtitles mode.

 But it is complicated and I can't just use the code within the patched
 scripts.

 What I meant with "minus the additional subtitles", is that video
 subtitles do not exist within the game, but those were added manually by
 the 2 "hackers" with that patch.

 My plan is that you can still add those video subtitles by copying over
 the .msg files, but we won't patch the game that way automatically,
 because we would have to add all of those video subtitles inside ScummVM.
 But you shouldn't need to patch any scripts.

 I also already found out that tons of those .scr/.hep files are not needed
 in any case and those are just 1:1 copies of the scripts used within the
 game.

 I will hopefully also fix the missing inventory audio.
