For unknown variants it now checks that the file is actually an
AGS game to avoid false positive due to generic names used by
some of the detection entries (such as 'game.exe'). Also unknown
variants can now be added.
At some point when splitting the MetaEngine to a detection
plugin and a static meta engine, the former was called
MetaEngine while the latter was called MetaEngineConnect.
Thus was then later change to MetaEngineDetection and
MetaEngine. But some references were left to the former
names in comments and documentation.
This is a doxygen review for 4 header files that have been
identified as high priority for GSoD:
- advancedDetector.h
- metaengine.h
- engine.h
- util.h
It also adds doxy groups to other headers from this folder to
make them appear properly in the structure.
This will give an error dialog and not actually start the game. The dialog can be customized with a message from the ADGameDescription::extra field.
Some changes have been made to DetectedGame to prevent the string from the extras field to be appended to the game description.
- Update AMEC's getFileProps (changes related to MacResMan)
- This commit also includes a change from other engines.
- Fallback detection here depends upon many Engine resources.
- As such, it might not be suitable to add all of them to executable.
- Thus, shift fallback detection to the dynamic part.
- The static part gets the relevant Engine plugin & then tries to call it.
- This way, fallback detection for Wintermute will depend on the engine plugin.
- Normal detection will still work fine.
- Add fallbackDetectExtern, meant to be overriden by child classes, if fallbackdetection heavily depends on Engine code.
- Add getFileProperties helper.
- End function names with "extern" to distinguish from normal.
- We have a default createInstance method overridden from MetaEngine from before in AME.
- So, just leave that as-is, and call the child class's function from there.
- Lastly, in AMEC - the generic createInstance is called, so we redirect it to call the one in the MetaEngine.
- Then, games can be run normally.
Common::MacResMan is now able to open files from a specified
Common::Archive. This is a bit hacky as dynamic_cast is used to break
the Archive encapsulation to retreive the underlying FSNode. It should
however be more correct than the previous code that assumed files were
at the root of the currently running game's path.
AdvancedDetector constructs a Common::Archive from its FileMap based
filesystem cache and uses it to detect the mac resource fork files.
This cuts the time it takes to run the detection code with all the
engines enabled as dynamic plugins on the 3DS to 30 s from 280 s.
The engine ID identifies which engine should be used to launch the target.
Also remove the 'single ID' system. Different games from engines that used
that system now have different game IDs.

When a user tries to add a game expecting it to be a particular
game for a particular engine, but a detector from another engine
happens to match some files that exist in the game directory and
reports on those files instead, this can cause a lot of confusion
because the detector doesn't say what engine or game it thought it
matched.
This patch adds the name of the matching engine as well as any
matching game IDs (if applicable) to the detector's logged output.
It also provides more specific guidance about where to send the
detection information (to the bug tracker), and properly wraps the
first part of the report to 80 columns.

This allows an engine to match files that exist multiple times
in the same game directory with the same basename.
For example, different releases of Torin's Passage in SCI engine
come with zero or more GERMAN, FRENCH, ENGLISH, etc. directories,
all containing files with the same basenames but with different
contents per language. Because the allFiles map used only the
basename of a file as a key, it could not match more than one of
these localization directories, which made it impossible to select
from all the possible languages.
