However, it's possible that GOG was smarter than just dumping and overwriting files. In short, this can work if the files added are removed and the files overwritten are replaced. 'Removing' them is done by a patch that replaces - or adds - some small files (not the videos) Gabriel Knight 2 scanlines are hardcoded into the video driver. Also, games provide brightness boost information in conjunction with the black-lined video flag to try to partially mitigate the fact that the black lines make the video darker if the calls don’t include brightness information, then the videos will render too darkly if we force it on. Unconditionally forcing black-lined video when the option is enabled would incorrectly render if someone chooses to use “little movie” mode, and I don’t know if there are other places in the game (or in other SCI32 games) that intentionally did not use the black-lined video flag even in “big movie” mode. I am still evaluating whether this is something that we can/should deal with. You may try moving/renaming 11.SCR, 11.HEP, 34.SCR, 34.HEP, 36.SCR and 36.HEP in the PATCHES directory to restore the original video playback code, which will make the toggle work, but this isn’t really supported and may cause other problems. I'm going to run this game in real dos but I'll make a quick batch file so I can swap between scan lines on and off. Typically, Gabriel will have to interrogate other characters, choosing conversation topics and thus gradually finding clues and advancing towards the mystery’s solution.I found a web page here: that says to move or rename 6 files in the patch folder but if you rename all 6 I found that the start and prolog buttons are missing to start the game you can only restore or quit so just rename 11.HEP, 11.SCR, 36.HEP and 36.SCR to get all the buttons back, the web page mentions that doing the renaming can cause problems but I didnt run the game in Scummvm so I didnt see any problems when using dosbox 0.74. Though the game still has plenty of inventory-based puzzles characteristic for classic adventure, its gameplay is heavily inclined towards dialogue. The game’s icon-based interface is the same as in Sierra’s previous titles, with verb commands that allow interaction with the game world and its inhabitants. In this way it is more similar to the company’s earlier Laura Bow games. Created by Jane Jensen, the game differs from Sierra’s Quest games (e.g. Space Quest) by having a realistic setting and focusing (despite its supernatural elements and humor) on mature themes and detective work. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is a third-person puzzle-solving adventure game. ![]() In the beginning Gabriel collects evidence in hope of using the material for his new novel but soon he finds himself personally involved in the investigation, and plunges deeper into the world of secret societies and murderous cults. The police detective assigned to investigate the crime is Gabriel’s friend. One day, a blood-chilling murder shocks the inhabitants of the city. Tormented by terrifying nightmares, he must spend every waking moment scouring the side streets and back alleys of New Orleans for the key to his dark past. He is the last in a long line of Shadow Hunters, those fated to fight supernatural forces of evil. Gabriel Knight is a wise-cracking bookstore owner and would-be author. ![]()
