SCI Possible to re-compile KQ4?

[FluffyQuack]

Is it possible to re-compile or run this? https://github.com/EricOakford/SCI-Decompilation-Archive/tree/master/kq4

I thought it would be fun to try to experiment with some changes to the game. I've got experience with programming and scripting, but I'm completely new to Sierra engines and tools.

Yes, you can. You just need the game, which is available on GOG or Steam. After installing, you just need to place the decompilation into the game's directory, and compile it using SCICompanion.

I managed to figure it out just before you sent the message. Like your instructions, I copied my game install (used my GOG copy), then copied over your decompilation, and then opened it in SCI Companion. I ran into an issue where clicking "Compile all" didn't end up with any changes in the game, but I learned that I also had to click on "Rebuild resources" for the new scripts to be used by the game. I think I've got everything set up correctly now.
