The check to see if background music should be started was implemented as part
of the input processing. As a result, background music would not start if the
game was not getting any input. F.e. on the main menu after starting the game,
if you let the music play until it finishes without doing anything, the game
will go silent. Only after moving the mouse will the background music track
start. The original interpreter starts the background music without needing
user input.
I've fixed this by moving the check to start background music to the timer
loop of the MusicPlayer. I've added a check to prevent background music from
starting while the game is not accepting input.
When loading a savegame, the current background music would play for a few
seconds before the game would set the music for the room that just loaded.
This change stops the music when loading a savegame to prevent this.
When fading out a music track, the original interpreter would keep playing the
track at volume 0. ScummVM would instead stop playing the track, which would
cause the background music track to start playing, while there would be no
music in the original interpreter. Also, when starting playback of a new track,
the original interpreter would restore the volume first, then start playback of
the new track, causing a short part of the old track to be played before the
new track starts. ScummVM would turn the volume back up, but not actually apply
this to the MIDI device, causing new tracks to sometimes play at volume 0.
This change fixes these issues. After fading out, actual playback on the MIDI
device is stopped, but the state of the music player keeps indicating that
music is playing. This prevents the background music from starting. Because
playback is actually stopped, the original interpreter issue of playing a short
bit of the old track when the new track starts is prevented. When resetting
volume when starting a new track, the new volume is now applied to the MIDI
device, which fixes the issue of the new track playing at volume 0.
Previous commits added an optional Speed menu to few Apple2GS
games. Now adding it to all other games, except:
- manhunter
- agi demo
- winnie the pooh (that seems like a wrong detection entry)
This simplifies handling of fields, since most of the time it should be
treated as a string. Where we actually need a raw reference, pop(false)
is used.
setAt(lst, 10, 1) will set the 10th element (1 indexed) to 1.
When the array size is smaller than 10, setAt will pad the list will
pad the lst with zeros and add the 1 at the end.
