The new approach is to delay kAnimate briefly (with an 68ms timeout)
while there is a zero-tick PalVary running, so that it has time to
trigger.
The previous workaround would immediately process a zero-tick
PalVaryInit/PalVaryReverse. This caused problems in QfG3 (bug #10304)
where it interfered with PalVaryPause.
The previous workaround could also be modified to handle pause/resume,
but this new approach should be closer to SSCI's behaviour, which used a
timer for a zero-tick PalVary too.
This fixes bug #10304, and keeps #5298 fixed too.
Bitmaps in ScrollWindow and Robot code are managed by the kernel
and not by game scripts, although they must be able to be
referenced through a reg_t. To prevent incorrect GC of bitmaps
that are in use but not referenced by any game script, explicit
memory management of hunk entries can be enabled.
This means tick-based times are saved to save games, as in SCI32
engine, instead of seconds, which are not accurate enough. It
also means places in SCI engine that need to access game ticks
should do so through g_sci instead of g_system or g_engine.
This needs to be performed because the screen palette might not change
after the call. Fixes the display of the bat in the character selection
screen in the full version of QFG4
More transparency/color mapping effects are now working (e.g. the
flashlight at the Gedde tomb in GK1, the rays of light at Schloss Ritter
in GK1, the torch in the QFG4 demo and the shadows in QFG4, PQ4 and KQ7)
Fixes some graphics glitches in the QFG4 demo and the menus of QFG4, by
implementing one of the transparency effects used mainly in SCI32.
Many thanks to fuzzie for her debugging info on QFG4 demo and to wjp for
his great help on the dissassembly
This tries to make our code a bit more compliant with our code formatting
conventions. For future use, this is the command I used:
git ls-files "*.cpp" "*.h" | xargs sed -i -e 's/[ \t]*$//'
MKID_BE relied on unspecified behavior of the C++ compiler,
and as such was always a bit unsafe. The new MKTAG macro
is slightly less elegant, but does no longer depend on the
behavior of the compiler.
Inspired by FFmpeg, which has an almost identical macro.
- Moved palette color count inside the GfxPalette class
- Enabled all of the kPalette subops for 16 color SCI1 games, apart from
the ones for intensity palette animation, and palette resource loading
- Removed isVGA() and isAmiga32color() methods from the resource manager -
they ended up in having inconsistent code
