Added a new logoEndAfter game constant, which controls how long
the game logo will stay on screen after booting the game, and
extracted its value for The Vampire Diaries.
Moved all hardcoded engine data that changes between games (e.g. number
of items, number of event flags) to a dedicated file and added a function for
accessing it in NancyEngine.
Primary video now affects the mouse the same way it does in the original game: the cursor gets moved to a set location when starting a conversation, and is blocked from moving above a certain threshold. Also removed the static pointer from PlayPrimaryVideoChan0.
When exiting a scene while holding an item, the cursor shown is now the fourth version of the item cursor, just as it is in the original engine. When entering a scene through the map while holding an item, the cursor no longer gets reset to the default one.
The map label's position is now properly calculated instead of being hardcoded. Added the (closed) label that shows up when hovering a disabled location on the map.
Changed the Button class so it doesn't require subclassing. Added a visible button to the Help screen. Also moved several classes' constructors to fix compilation errors.
Implemented Second Chance, which is the original engine's autosave system. This is disabled by default, since it replaces ScummVM's built-in autosaves.
Moved CheatDialog and EventFlagDialog to dialogs.h and removed cheat.h. Fixed a crash on closing the event flags dialog. Fixed the timer data in CheatDialog being incorrectly written to the player time. Removed a couple of incorrectly marked translation strings.
Implemented the original engine's main menu and added an option to enable it from the custom options dialog. Several buttons in the main menu don't work yet since they require implementing additional game states.
SoundManager is now responsible for loading and storing all common sounds (sounds with their own BOOT chunk). All playSound() calls with a hardcoded channel ID now use the chunk name instead. Also fixed some sound inaccuracies when switching between states.
Class members that get properly initialized after the constructor now also get default values during construction to silence warnings. Also fixed a couple of broken entries in response.cpp that were uncovered by these changes.
Moved the static members of SliderPuzzle that were used to save the puzzle's state to a struct inside Scene. Removed the SliderPuzzle::synchronize() function and incorporated its logic into Scene::synchronize(). Also fixed a possible use of uninitialized variables inside the synchronization code.
Added a \0 to every instance of a char buffer being loaded into a Common::String. Fixed an instance of a large buffer getting repeatedly allocated and deleted inside a for loop. Fixed an instance of a small char buffer being unnecessarily allocated on the heap. Also added a readFilename() convenience function to util.h for reading 8-character filenames found in the data.
Did some cleanup of the engine, mostly focusing on the NancyEngine class. Reordered several classes' members, removed unused functions, edited comments, and renamed arfactory_v1.cpp to arfactory.cpp.
The Vampire Diaries' videos are all upside down after decompression, need a palette to be loaded from a separate bitmap file, and background videos are also quarter size (1/2 width and height). This commit adds a GraphicsManager function for loading a Surface or a raw buffer into a ManagedSurface, applying all transformations needed to display it correctly.
Removed the BlitType enum and getBlitType() method from RenderObject, and replaced them with setTransparent(). This was done to reduce redundant code, since ManagedSurface can already pick between a transparent and regular blit depending on whether the provided source surface has a transparent color set. Also added the correct transparent color for The Vampire Diaries, and the transparent color for nancy1 now gets calculated on the fly.
Changed surfaces in the textbox and inventory box so they are now initialized with the screen pixel format instead of the one used inside images. With this change The Vampire Diaries no longer fails a particular assert in the ManagedSurface blitting code, and can now boot successfully.
Added generic methods for getting the pixel format and transparent color. Also added a method for loading an image directly into a ManagedSurface, which also loads the palette and lets The Vampire Diaries logo display properly.
The resource manager now keeps track of its cif trees and calls to loadImage() and loadData() don't need to specify a cif tree. In order to support The Vampire Diaries, IFFs can now be loaded from their own dedicated .iff file, and the engine doesn't require a cif tree to be loaded on boot.
Changed the readBootSummary function so it uses a serializer with the game type enum as its version. With this change, we don't need separate subclasses just to read every different BSUM format, so all of the NancyEngine child classes have been removed.
Made all states (Scene, Credits, Help, etc.) singletons, as well as subclasses of a common State parent with a proper state switching API. Moved the OnPause virtual function from RenderObject to ActionRecord and hooked it into the state switching code. Also got rid of the NancyEngine pointer that got passed around between most classes, and replaced it with several convenience macros. As a result of these changes action records that render to the viewport no longer disappear after opening the menu, and state changes feel snappier.
Added initial support for savestates. The format will most likely change with future commits, but I will only start versioning once the engine supports more than a single game. To support proper serialization the Scene state has had its kInit state split into kInit and kInitStatic, InventoryBox had some of its code reordered, and members of several classes have had their types changed.
