This flag is removed for a few reasons:
* Engines universally set this flag to true for widths > 320,
which made it redundant everywhere;
* This flag functioned primarily as a "force 1x scaler" flag,
since its behaviour was almost completely undocumented and users
would need to figure out that they'd need an explicit non-default
scaler set to get a scaler to operate at widths > 320;
* (Most importantly) engines should not be in the business of
deciding how the backend may choose to render its virtual screen.
The choice of rendering behaviour belongs to the user, and the
backend, in that order.
A nearby future commit restores the default1x scaler behaviour in
the SDL backend code for the moment, but in the future it is my
hope that there will be a better configuration UI to allow users
to specify how they want scaling to work for high resolutions.
This change should have no functional change, but makes the sound code
more decoupled, modular and readable, prior to attempting a fix for
bug #3528164 - "DREAMWEB: missing sound effects/music cues during main
title".
This new variable removes the need for duplicates strings of the form
"DREAMWEB.*" spread throughout the dreamweb engine, replacing them with
a common const string on the engine holding the datafile name prefix.
This will reduce binary size and it should also simplify adding support
for foreign language variants, where the datafile name prefix is
changed.
To demostrate usage and prove this, showPCX() is migrated to using this.
- Add TODOs for the CD checks in setupTimedTemp() and startTalk()
- The current doSomeTalk() is for the CD version only
- Implement a difference of the CD version in intro
