[Scummvm-devel] dreamweb save/load gui

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

Hi,

Last night I committed a set of rather risky patches that hook up the scummvm
GUI to the Dreamweb save/load system. By setting dreamweb_originalsaveload to
false in the config, you get the scummvm GUI. Also, you can now load straight
from the scummvm launcher, regardless of this setting. (Testing very welcome!)


Bertrand raises the following question in a github commit comment:

Any ideas/opinions? I'm personally for using the ScummVM GUI by default (once
it's been confirmed to work), but I know some people prefer the much more
atmospheric in-game GUI.

If we want to actually hack up the original GUI to get more than 7 saves, an
alternative would be using same button system as the inventory. (This was
suggested by someone earlier, but I don't remember who.)
