Scaling works correctly with the Windows variant, which uses AVI files,
but the DOS variant uses Robot videos, and the way scaling is done
there is different, and is not working yet with KQ7 DOS. Nonetheless,
both versions are included in the game, so it's not a major issue.
This commit introduces the following changes:
1. Graphics::loadThumbnail()
Now returns a boolean and takes a new argument skipThumbnail which
defaults to false. In case of true, loadThumbnail() reads past the
thumbnail data in the input stream instead of actually loading the
thumbnail. This simplifies savegame handling where, up until now,
many engines always read the whole savegame metadata (including
the thumbnail) and then threw away the thumbnail when not needed
(which is in almost all cases, the most common exception being
MetaEngine::querySaveMetaInfos() which is responsible for loading
savegame metadata for displaying it in the GUI launcher.
2. readSavegameHeader()
Engines which already implement such a method (name varies) now take
a new argument skipThumbnail (default: true) which is passed
through to loadThumbnail(). This means that the default case for
readSavegameHeader() is now _not_ loading the thumbnail from a
savegame and just reading past it. In those cases, e.g.
querySaveMetaInfos(), where we actually are interested in loading
the thumbnail readSavegameHeader() needs to explicitely be called
with skipThumbnail == false.
Engines whose readSavegameHeader() (name varies) already takes an
argument loadThumbnail have been adapted to have a similar
prototype and semantics.
I.e. readSaveHeader(in, loadThumbnail, header) now is
readSaveHeader(in, header, skipThumbnail).
3. Error handling
Engines which previously did not check the return value of
readSavegameHeader() (name varies) now do so ensuring that possibly
broken savegames (be it a broken thumbnail or something else) don't
make it into the GUI launcher list in the first place.
To enable the optional content censoring mode, Phant2 looks
for a RESDUK.PAT file, which is normally placed by the game's
installer if the user chose to enable censorship. If the file
exists, the game reads an unlock password out of the file and
asks the user to enter the password when starting a new game to
create an uncensored game, or to click a "less intense" button
to start the game with censoring. The censorship state of the
game is then persisted in the save game file, and installations
with the RESDUK.PAT file need to enter the password again in
order to restore any of the uncensored saves.
Since we do not have an installer that can enable this feature,
add a game option toggle to enable/disable censoring (for the
releases that have the optional censorship mode) instead so the
censored content feature is available for anyone that wants to use
it. This flag is restored from ScummVM whenever a save game is
loaded, so it can be toggled on or off at any point without
needing a separate save game, unlike in the original interpreter.
The GOG.com release is missing the AVIs used for the intro &
ending animations in Windows. I'm unaware of any substantive
differences between the DOS and Windows versions otherwise, so
just not allowing Windows to be selected as a platform when the
video files are missing seems like it should be fine. (Same thing
in the opposite direction for a case where the DOS Robot files
are missing, though I don't know of a specific case where that is
a thing with KQ7 2.00b.)
The game was originally titled "Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh",
but the publisher now seem to be titling it "Phantasmagoria 2: A
Puzzle of Flesh". It was never referred to using roman numerals in
any release as far as I can find (the French "Fatal Obsessions"
release was just "Phantasmagoria: Obsessions Fatales").
1. Added a new game option for linear interpolation when scaling
video in ScummVM builds with USE_RGB_COLOR;
2. 8bpp videos that put black in a palette index other than 0
(KQ7) should now always render correctly without the earlier
game-specific workarounds which did not work very well;
3. Data from game scripts regarding video size and position are
now ignored, since games always just try to show videos in the
middle of the screen, but frequently get this a little bit
wrong, causing either bad aspect ratios or off-center videos;
4. Builds without USE_RGB_COLOR support will not crash when
attempting to play >8bpp AVIs, like those from KQ7 2.00b.
Fixes Trac#9843, Trac#9762.
For the moment, only warn about bad resources when a game is
actually starting, since unknown but valid resources being
detected by the fallback detector currently also trigger the
warning.
Phant1, PQ:SWAT, GK2, and Phant2 all have different audio maps
and audio volumes on each CD. In order to make this work within
ScummVM, where CDs are never swapped, each RESOURCE.AUD for these
games must be renamed to RESAUD.00x and each RESOURCE.SFX renamed
to RESSFX.00x.
Added games are:
Hoyle Classic Games
Hoyle Bridge
Hoyle Children's Collection
Hoyle Solitaire (CD and Hard Drive versions)
Additionaly, kGetConfig was modified to support two settings used by
these games: "laptop" and "jumpto".
The demo versions of these games were using a very different engine -
SCI1.1 vs SCI2/SCI2.1. Thus, we split them into different game IDs,
to avoid mixing specific game checks for them, as well as specific
game workarounds, which are different for the demos than the full
versions. Also, the demos should be working when SCI32 is disabled.
For these games, we don't use ADGF_DEMO, to avoid game IDs like
foodemo-demo
Removed the superfluous initForDetection() function, which was not
updated in commit 2f17ba2b0a and
caused the fallback detector to crash because of uninitialized
variables
Auto-saving is not used by SCI, but slot 0 is ScummVM "standard"
for auto-saving, that's why it's not available for saving anymore.
Jones still uses slot 0 for saving/restoring (because it's
hardcoded and changing it would break it somewhat)
Deleting + restoring is still possible of couse.
Instead of choosing Windows as platform, users can now also simply
click this option for Gabriel Knight 1 + King's Quest 6
Defaults to high resolution graphics
This means tick-based times are saved to save games, as in SCI32
engine, instead of seconds, which are not accurate enough. It
also means places in SCI engine that need to access game ticks
should do so through g_sci instead of g_system or g_engine.
Original name + description were inaccurate. We don't actually
do undithering (besides the view undithering), but we instead
skip the EGA dithering code.
