Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion SCUMM is a video game engine developed at Lucasfilm Games, later renamed Lucas. Arts, to ease development on their first graphic adventure game. Maniac Mansion 1. It was subsequently used as the engine for later Lucas. Arts adventure games. It falls somewhere between a game engine and a programming language, allowing designers to create locations, items and dialogue sequences without writing code in the language in which the game source code ends up. This also allowed the games script and data files to be cross platform, i. SCUMM is also a host for embedded game engines such as the Interactive MUsic Streaming Engine i. MUSE, the INteractive Streaming ANimation Engine INSANE, CYST in game animation engine, FLEM places and names object inside a room, and MMUCUS. SCUMM has been released on these platforms 3.

HistoryeditThe original version was coded by Ron Gilbert with some initial help by Chip Morningstar aka. Un. Xman in 1. 98. Aric Wilmunder a. SCUMM Lord and various others.

Tokens like P. R. I. N. E. were the first to be utilized. The nature of SCUMM emerged from the background of most of the early programmers at Lucas. Arts, including Wilmunder, having been programmers for mainframe computers. At the time, personal computers PC did not have large enough abilities or speed to edit and compile programs, so often the Lucas. Arts coders would write code as cleanly as possible on a mainframe system to remove all errors so that, while compiling on a PC would be slow, it would be less error prone. This concept informed the idea of a scripting language that would be cross platform. SCUMM was developed to be a tool that converted human readable commands into byte sized tokens that then would be read by an executable interpreter program that presented the game to the player. For example, the SCUMM command walk dr fred to laboratory door would be tokenized to a 4 byte command. They did not want to have specific details about a game hard coded into the script, so the tokenizer would be able to recognize actors by their name from the script instead of by internal numbers. The only exception was to display a characters dialog in a different text color for Maniac Mansion in which they had to include the number, but this was subsequently revised by the time Zak Mc. Kracken was released. The scripts included the ability to multitask, such as having background actors enact behavior while waiting for foreground actions to complete. The combined tools enabled for rapid prototyping of a game. Scripters could work with preliminary character and background art drawn by the artists to hone their scripts while providing feedback to the artists. The SCUMM program was responsible for tokenizing the scripts and gathering all other assets such as art and sound as a package. The reusable interpreter was called SPUTM, the SCUMM Presentation Utility TM which was renamed on shipment of the game to the name of the games executable. SPUTM would interpret the scripts, load assets from disc, and handle the other user interactions with the game. SPUTM was not actually trademarked, but according to Wilmunder, they wanted to name it after another bodily fluid. SCUMM was subsequently reused in many later Lucas. Arts adventure games being both updated and rewritten several times. According to Wilmunder, the version of SCUMM for Maniac Mansion had about 8. Other tools and engines were developed alongside SCUMM to aid in development, and named for other body fluids. SPIT was used to manage text fonts on different parts of the screen. FLEM was used to define a specific room, track objects within it, and specify clipping planes for character animation. MMUCAS was used with FLEM to compile a room and its objects into one file that would enable the scripters to make rapid changes without having to recompile the rooms description. BYLE and subsequently CYST were used for character animations and scaling, the latter used for the more complex art in Lucas. Arts later games. For the game Full Throttle, the team worked to integrate SCUMM with the INSANE animation engine that had formerly been developed for Star Wars Rebel Assault. Though Wilmunder had gotten the two systems to work for shipment of Full Throttle, the interaction between the two was not always stable, and spent time before The Curse of Monkey Island to have SCUMM work atop the INSANE engine, replacing some of the SCUMM engine parts to use that were native to INSANE. Internally, much of the workings of SCUMM were undocumented, as Wilmunder believed that it was relatively simple to learn, but he changed this approach before The Secret of Monkey Island. To train new hires on the engine, Gilbert put them through SCUMM University, a week long period where they were taught how to use the SCUMM engine. These new hires, called scummlets, then were given the opportunity to explore and expand on example work to help identify where they would best fit into the development team. Lucas. Arts finally abandoned the SCUMM engine in 1. Black Screen During Boot Windows 7. Grim. E, using the free software scripting language Lua, for the games Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island. In March 2. 01. 6 Wilmunder revealed that he would share design documents for many of Lucas. Arts adventure games and the source code for the SCUMM engine, which he plans to provide in digital format via Git. Hub. 3Most SCUMM games feature a verbobject design paradigm. The player controlled character has an inventory, and the game world is littered with objects with which the player can interact, using a variety of verbs. A large set of these featured in the early games, but by Full Throttle 1. The Curse of Monkey Island 1. Loom 1. 99. 0 replaces the conventional SCUMM interface of verbs with spells played on a musical distaff. Puzzles generally involve using the right verb action with the appropriate object  use biscuit cutter with rubber tree, for example. Talk to commonly produces dialogue sequences, in which the player selects from a list of predefined questions or comments, and the character they are talking to replies with a predefined response. The notable exception to this general paradigm is Loom 1. ReimplementationeditCompilereditScumm. C is a set of tools including a script and a costume compiler, a walkboxes editor, charset, graphics, audio and midi tools, able to compile its own Java. Script like language into SCUMM v. Scumm. VM. It allows anyone with the needed skills to create new and original SCUMM games, with features on par with Day of the Tentacle and Sam Max Hit the Road. A similar project named Scumm. GEN aims to achieve the same thing, with user friendly tools. Scummbler is a compiler for SCUMM bytecode, for versions 3 to 5 of the SCUMM engine. It uses scripts decompiled from the original game files, retrieved using a combination of an unpacking tool like Scumm. Packer7 also by the author of Scummbler, and the descumm tool from Scumm. VM. These scripts can be re inserted into the original game files, making it useful for modifying existing games, such as for translation.
