The backend options tab is for backend specific options. The backends
supporting it implements the function buildBackendOptionsWidget which
defines the options elements and layout.
The backend options tab layout may differ depending on the current
domain. The options in the "Global options" tab applies to all games
while the options in the "Game options" tab only applies to a specific
game. The options in the "Global config" options tab can be set during
game play. Some options, e.g. graphics cannot be changed while running
the game while backend options can.
The first version of the backend options tab was a non-scrollable
container. The "Game options" tab includes an "Override Global options
checkbox" which, when checked, enables the options defined by the
backend.
The number of iOS7 backend options increased rapidly which caused some
options to fall outside the tab container on screens with limited
space in height. An attempt to fix that was made by the same creator
of this commit in the commit: 8db736f155
The attempt was not perfect in any way, else this commit wouldn't
exist... The "Override Global options checkbox" on the "Game options"
tab became misplaced. It also required the backend to add padding
to GUI elements it shouldn't know of.
To fix this properly put the backend options tab in a single Scroll-
Container. This way the "Override Global options checkbox" can be
properly placed related to the backend options widgets. All backend
options can also be accessed in every backend options tab layout,
Global options, Game options and Global config thanks to the scrollbar
automatically provided by the ScrollContainer.
Update all themes with the new layout.
This is very confusing to the users, so now instead of hiding or disabling
the buttons, we show message explaining the reason why it is disabled now
- The engine is not supporting loading from GMM at all
- The engine does not allow save/load at this time
These messages could be overridden by the engines
Depending on other game option checkboxes. This is used to
enable/disable the semi-smooth scrolling checkboxes for FM Towns Loom,
since it's only used when smooth scrolling is enabled.
This allows for the removal of hardcoded extra GUI options from the
theme files, and lifts restrictions related to the maximum number
of allowed ExtraGuiOptions
- Rename the one in ME to avoid ambiguity.
- ME is named *static & MEC is named *dynamic.
- This change means that engines can build 2 types of option widgets.
- The "Engine" tab is created statically regardless if an engine plugin is present or not.
- The in-game options are built using the MEC.
- With this commit, engines/dialogs is no longer dependant on MetaEngine, and instead used MEC all over.
Up until last commit, everything was working fine but the amount of files changed was too large. This commit tries to reduce the changes.
- Add a fake constructor to Keymap, text-to-speech, setDescription (save-state)
- Redirecting functions for PopUpWidget::appendEntry, ButtonWidget::setLabel, GUIErrorMessage
- Use the above functions and constructors to reduce changes in Engines
- Fix warnings being in unicode. Only output english text in - Warnings, Errors, etc.
- Mark some strings as "translation" strings. (Not yet added to POTFILES)
- Remove some CP related things from po/modules.mk
- Previously used some Common::convertToU32 where it was not necessary, replace this with u32constructor
- Remove extra parantheses leftover from temp code
- SaveLoadDialog - do not encode when setting labels
- Remove mapping variable from ThemeEngine::loadScalableFont (and use default 0)
- Remove incorrect u32 constructor wrapper from confman.set in eventrecorder.cpp
- Where necessary as in, where translated messages are used.
- GUIErrorMessage now takes in U32String
- error messages across some engines use U32Strings. they are changed because they show a message dialog.
This commit also includes some additional major changes.
- Return U32String from TransMan getTranslation()
- Change tooltips to be U32Strings
- Remove temporary code of convertToU32String
- U32 Support various dialogs (Browser, FileBrowser, Messages, Chooser, etc)
- U32 for music plugins
- U32 for OSD messages
- Add some helper functions to ustr.cpp
- Change default tooltips from nullptr & 0 -> ""
- Some runtime exceptions may occur when changing languages due to incorrect String::Format
- ButtonWidgets (Button, Radio, Checkbox, dropdown)
- StaticTextWidgets
- PopUpWidgets
- Tabs
- Add a temporary overloaded drawDDText function to make other widgets draw normally
Some platforms should not allow quitting ScummVM. For example the Apple's
HUG for iOS state that we should "Never quit an iOS applications
programmatically". Adding the kFeatureNoQuit allows those backend
that need it to remove the possibility to quit the application.
By implementing MetaEngine::buildEngineOptionsWidget, engines can
instantiate a container widget that will be shown in the Engine tab of
the edit game dialog. The default implementation retains the existing
behavior and shows the extra GUI options.
