Ok, ok, es mag so anmuten, als ob ich hier Schleichwerbung für LucasArts machen würde, da es mal wieder um Grim Fandango gehen soll.
Nur diesmal geht es nicht um das (zugegeben grandiose) Gameplay, sondern, um es kurz zu machen, darum, daß Half-Life nicht erste und einzige Spiel ist, welches prädestiniert ist zum "modden".. Ich stieß, als ich mit SCUMM Revisited in den Innereien des Spieles herumstocherte, in der Hilfe, in der auch erklärt wird, wie das SCUMM-Dateiformat aufgebaut ist - interessant zu lesen, auf folgende Passage: "Writing your own Grim Fandango scripts
Yep! You can write your own scripts using the GrimE engine. In general, it seems that GRIME is very likely to support the making of games by normal users. It has a preference for non-bundled files on the harddrive when choosing which files to use for a game. In order to go explore in the world of GRIME scripting, you need to do at least two things: Learn the Lua language." Vollständige Dokumentation findet man unter lua.org. "Tweak your settings a bit.
The second part is the easiest: Open the registry, find the Grim Fandango entry (usually placed at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC/Grim Fandango/v1.0). Inside this key, add a new string value. Name it "TextAllowed" and give it the value "TRUE". Now, make a directory within the Grim directory on your harddrive called "Scripts". Inside this directory you can place scripts to be run by the engine. By default, GrimE loads the script _system.lua first, and starts executing the function BOOT()." Hiermit.. GRIME Script Functions
Following is a total list of script function names and identifiers defined by GRIME. In addition to these are the internal Lua functions and identifiers. Notice that Lua is case sensitive. GRIME functions

Wenn man denn wollte, könnte, usw. :( Zum Herumspielen hat es bei mir immerhin gereicht, siehe Bild. Und das möchte ich auch allen LeserInnen ans Herz legen:
Holt die alten LucasArts-Adventures aus dem Schrank, saugt euch von mix’n’mojo, unter Tools, SCUMM Revisited, den SCUMM-File-Explorer, und geht damit ein wenig auf Entdeckungsreise - Und immer dran denken: Das X markiert die Stelle.
Unter der oben genannten URL sind auch noch andere "Lucas Hacks" aufgeführt, unter anderem die GF-Developer-Keys, mit denen man auch noch einiges anstellen kann. Die Rache des King Ko..ähh..Calavera - Obacht, ihr Tauben
