Simon1 and Simon2 fade the screen to black whenever leaving a room,
but this can be slow to render on some devices, and for some people
nowadays it can really make the pace of the game quite slow.
This commit enables the Accolade AdLib driver's OPL3 mode for Elvira 1. It adds
some extra notes, most notable in the intro track. A small fix is applied to
one of the instruments in the intro track to make it work properly with this
mode.
This adds support for the AdLib and MT-32 sound effects in Elvira 2 and
Waxworks. It adds an option to the UI to toggle between sampled and
synthesized SFX. It also adds the following enhancements:
- AdLib OPL3 mode for Elvira 2, Waxworks and Simon 1 floppy demo. This can be
selected using a new UI option.
- Mixed AdLib/MIDI mode for Elvira 2 and Waxworks.
- Implemented "monophonic chords", a feature of the original MIDI code which
would play only the highest note of a chord on AdLib. Most noticable in the
Waxworks music.
- Added UI option to select Simon 1 DOS music tempos.
- Rewrite of the AdLib and MT-32 drivers to remove duplication and make use of
features of the standard multisource drivers.
- Refactored MidiPlayer to standardize interface and remove code moved to the
drivers and parsers.
For each engine:
- Make a new folder detection
- Move detection-related files inside the folder
- Add a new module "enginename/detection"
- Add DETECT_OBJS here
- Adjust the normal engine module to remove detect_objs
- Adjust every file for the new changes.
- Move AGOSGameDescription -> detection.h
- Move obsoleteGameIDsTable -> obsolete.h
- Both the above points are because the detection needs them, as well as the engine.
- By moving to headers in this pattern, we avoid many unnecessary inclusions and keep everything clean.
Added it into hasFeature() of all engines which returned `true` in
simpleSaveNames() before.
As mentioned in #788, SCI is not always using simple names, so it
doesn't have such feature now.
Engines with "simple" savenames would support "Run in background" in
save/load dialog and gradual save slots unlocking. Other engines
save/load feature would be locked until save sync is over.
This in fact slightly changes the priority order of added archives. Formerly,
all archives in SearchMan were preferred to the customly added ones in
ArchiveMan. All standard paths (i.e. path and extrapath) will be still be
searched before the custom ones (which are all priority 0 right now) but system
specific paths will be searched after (due to their priority being -1). Since
system specific paths shouldn't contain any game data files this should
hopefully be harmless.
This wasn't tested for games with CAB archives.
This includes a renaming of ADObsoleteGameID to Engine::ObsoleteGameID,
and AdvancedDetector::findGameID now is Engines::findGameID.
Doxygen comments were added or improved
Now AD can search nested directories. By default it is turned off,
but there is new parameter to ADParameters struct. Usually value
of 2 is good enough for all purposes.
