Animations often run at full speed without any delays. Apparently the target hardware of that time (286/386, Amiga, Mac) would ensure sufficient slowdown. Unfortunately, comparing with DOSBox, ScummVM runs somewhat faster. I have tried to add extra delays depending on the amount of onscreen activity. I have finally gotten a result which is very similiar to DOSBox execution.
Basing this on the screen activity is not optimal. Ideally, it would be based on the orignal cpu activity. But we can hardly do that...
The font has to be set to the standard font once during the intro sequence to display the Westwood copyright. When hitting Esc at the right time it could prevent the font to be reset correcty.
- The high quality music seems to work fine. I haven't done any extensive comparison with emulation, but all music tracks have been played with asan enabled. I haven't actually finished playing through the game, though (still stuck in the damn fireberry cave), so the finale still needs to be tested...
- I am not sure about the low quality music. It should work, but hasn't really seen much testing. Currently, I don't have any way to switch to the low quality music anyway. Maybe I'll add a launcher option for it.
- The 16bit mode I have been trying to invent doesn't work. Priority was finishing the original sound first.
- GMM volume settings haven't been fully implemented and don't work
* KYRA: Support Russian LoK translation by Siberian Gremlin
* Mention source of engine data translation
* Mark Russian CD as fan translation to force subtitles
- add support for the Sega Font and add text display methods at least for the sequence player
- finish sequence player (add all missing opcodes and other missing code portions)
- some improvement to the resource class
- some renaming and cleanup
Initial file handling, palette and graphics support. The opening credits get played satisfactory. Following up with the cinematics player will be much easier now...
This piece of code is not functional as the test will always evaluate
to false so hiding this with a preprocessor guard will not cause any
functional change. It is now clearly marked with FIXME and TODO along
with a comment for future reference.
Reorganize all files in sub directories. The file placement isn't as intuitive as it might be for other engines, which is probably the reason why this hasn't been done before.
