When riding with Charon in one direction, the script stops the
background sounds. When you ride in the other direction, it doesn't.
Since the cutscenes play music, you may now have two pieces of music
playing over each other. Work around this by pausing the mixer during
the cuscenes (there are two different ones) for going back.
Some ZGI scripts use action:add(14999, [...]) to add to the score.
Without this, it would always add 0 instead. This affected the puzzles
where you use the snapdragon and where you open the first time tunnel.
It was pointed out on the GOG forum that you can't get a perfect score
in Zork: Grand Inquisitor. Once case I've found that looks like it
should award points, but doesn't, is the Spell Checker (tp4g.scr). It
turns out that the script doesn't award the points until after it has
changed your location, and ScummVM interprets the location change as a
signal that the script has ended. With this change, the script continues
until it finishes on its own.
As far as I can see, this is how ScummVM has always done it. I don't
think the original Z-Engine project did, though.
If this was the only such case, I would feel much more comfortable about
making this change. As it is, I'm a bit nervous about it. One other
positive difference is that with the change, you get to keep the sword
and rope after entering the monastery (um1e.scr). Without it, they are
lost but apparently no longer needed?
This fixes the delay outside the Frobozz Electric building.
In all other places, delay_render is called with a value
ranging from 1 to 10, so the 100 here looks to be a script
bug, and causes an unnecessary long pause in that scene.
Thus, we're capping the frame delay value to 10.
Fixes an edge case where the player goes to the dark room with the grue
without holding a torch, and then quickly runs away before the grue's
sound effect finishes. Many thanks to eriktorbjorn for the original
workaround
As suggested by Marisa-Chan. I had based my earlier implementation
on parseCritera(), and was unaware of this alternative. The good
thing is that the diff from the old code is now much smaller, which
should reduce the risk of regressions. (There is a lot I haven't
tested here...)
The volume can be either a constant or a state value. The latter is
used by ZGI to simulate a sound being heard at different distances,
e.g. the beehive in the Dungeon Master's hideout.
This is the original behavior. This was noted in bug #6761. Specifically,
the knocker on the door plays a sound whenever it is a the top of the bottom
of the swing. By only allowing one sound effect to play at the same time, the
knocker would only play once, even though it bounces at the bottom.
Also, this hooks up the MPEG-PS decoder, but only if libmpeg2 is
compiled in. The DVD videos are still disabled until AC3 audio support
is implemented.
The hires DVD videos are encoded a 720x480 resolution, with double the
frame rate of the lowres ones (29.97FPS up from 15FPS)
Also, rename the graphics 'Effect' class in order to avoid naming clashes (and/or coder
confusion) with the newly named ScriptingEffect class.
Lastly, add some documentation for the classes for further clarity.
This is the first part of the changes to make the engine use RGB555
internally again. This is done to simplify the rendering pipeline -
the engine will use RGB555 internally, but will output to RGB565.
The overall changes have been broken into two commits, thus this
first commit will break all the game colors
