Well it would require some work to do that, but it *is* possible. So I'll leave this open with low priority, since I think it's not a real big thing.

did you have the chance to have a look at it?

Now the game is selled by gog with scummvm attached. It would be nice to implement subs for the .vqa video by scummvm... could you please get an eye on it? it has been a long time since zoppologo opened this request, maybe things are changed?

Things are the same as back then.

Sorry for necroposting,
Maybe the code used in sword1\animation.cpp (movieTexts) could do the trick.
We could take an array from, let's say, VQAXX.txt files purposely created and load it in memory by vqa.cpp function.
On our forum a user suggested something like this (not real code):

VQA01.txt content:
startframe
endframe
subtitle

startframe
endframe
subtitle
ecc..

open function
bool VQAMovie::open(const char *filename)

void VQAMovie::play()

_screen->updateScreen();

_screen->printText(const char *str, int x, int y, color1, color2);

bool VQAMovie::open(const char *filename)
{
if filename.txt exists, load sub array
}

void VQAMovie::play() {

//other code

for (uint i = 0; i < _header.numFrames; i++) {

//other code

sub_width = _screen->getTextWidth(subtitles_to_be_shown);

_screen->printText(subtitles_to_be_shown,
(320-sub_lenght) / 2, 180,
0xFF, 0xFF);

_screen->updateScreen();

}

}

//subtitles_to_be_shown code

for (uint i=0; i < array_lenght_sub; i++) {
if ( (current_frame >= start_frame[i]) &&
(current_frame <= end_frame[i]) )
subtitles_to_be_shown = subtitles[i];
}

Hope it helps.
