Log Message:
syncscumm: add Betrayed Alliance Book 1 as an MIT-licensed SCI door
Betrayed Alliance Book 1 (Ryan Slattery / Slattstudio) is an original
EGA, parser-driven SCI adventure -- the second SCI title after Cascade
Quest, and the cleanest provenance of the fetch-only games: it ships an explicit MIT LICENSE.TXT permitting redistribution outright (unlike Space
Quest 0's Sierra IP or Cascade Quest's un-granted freeware). This adds an xtrn/betrayedalliance package: install-xtrn.ini, getdata.js, reference scummvm.example.ini + syncscumm.example.ini, and a README.
Because it is MIT-licensed it could legally be bundled, but the package
still fetches it -- lighter repo, always the pinned release, consistent
with the other titles. getdata.js downloads the pinned release-v1.3.3.1 "-minimal" zip from the author's own GitHub release, verifies a pinned
sha256 + size, and unpacks ONLY the SCI resources (resource.map/001, RESOURCE.CFG) plus the game's LICENSE.TXT -- kept with the data to honor
the MIT notice clause. The release zip nests everything under a top-level folder and bundles a whole DOSBox package (DOSBox.exe, SCIV.EXE, drivers)
for modern Windows; the extract recurses into the folder, flattens it,
and matches only those files, so the DOSBox payload is never written.
ScummVM detects the resources as game id sci-fanmade and names the title "Betrayed Alliance 1.3.3.1" -- the newest version its detection tables recognize (engines/sci/detection_tables.h), and the pinned zip's
resource.map is a byte-exact match. Per-user saves land in data/user/<####>/betrayed/ (the dir is shortened from the full title so
the cmd, with the sci-fanmade target, stays under the 100-char cap).
deploy.js learns the package; boot_betrayedalliance.sh headless-boots it
as a second SCI-engine acceptance check (500 frames).
