This heuristic was originally how all SCI16 speed tests were handled.
It has been gradually replaced with script patches, until all games
were patched in: ea48986006
At the time, I left this in because it had the benefit of speeding up
the SCI11 test variants so that they didn't produce a startup delay.
Now we know that this heuristic has been identifying regular rooms as
speed tests and unthrottling them too, causing unintended effects.
Some of this behavior was masked by fast-cast throttling occurring
everywhere, until: e09010f7d8
For example, the QFG1VGA Sierra logo animation changes speed and runs
very fast as soon as the sparkle is finished. The Longbow map rooms
were also detected as speed test rooms and animated too fast. Cast-less
rooms like LB2's title screen run unthrottled and consume CPU.
There are only a few SCI11 speed test rooms, so now they're explicitly
unthrottled in kGameIsRestarting with the other throttling exceptions.
- Add "kAnimate fast cast state" to "version" debug command
- Make it possible for script patcher signatures to get fully
used outside of the regular script patcher
- Remove previous fastcast detections and replace them with
a signature heuristic
- Remove object name checking, when fastcast global is set
- Heuristic detects "fast cast" support incorrectly for multilingual
KQ5, but it seems the game never sets the global, so it won't
matter. KQ5 CD (also SCI1 late) has fastcast support.
- Remove hack in GfxView::draw
- Add lots of comments to ScriptPatcher class
This fixes EcoQuest 1 Floppy showing the anemone on top of the
message box (see bug #5170)
adjusted comments about that and also renamed the bit, also added additional TODO, because hoyle 4 has special code that gets into action, when bit 0 is not set, but bit 2 is
svn-id: r53853
kAddToPic doesnt do loop/cel fixups, it also doesnt support global scaling and will only set nsRect on scaled Cels, not reusing fill() of kAnimate anymore, but doing those things separately
fixes kq6 - 2nd window shown instead of peppermint bush (bug #3070465)
should be save to backport
svn-id: r52887
it's set. Currently game-specific for Hoyle4; fixes bug #3038424. But
other SCI1.1 games should be tested with a general version of this to
see whether it fixes relevant bugs.
svn-id: r52818
fixes kq5 trunk getting closed again during intro - is actually a script bug that sets cel to some really high number - bug #3037578, may also fix other similar issues
svn-id: r51969
- Removed the custom types MemoryHandle, LoopNo, CelNo (cause we ended up having code like LoopNo loopNo = ...)
- Improved the sanity checks in frameOut()
