The left side of each picture was cut off, and padded with white at the
right side instead. This regression was introduced somewhere between
1.7.0 and 1.8.0 as part of a "graphics rewrite + cleanup".
This was originally a feature of ScummVM: to allow, say, Amiga style
cursors and menus in DOS version. Thus, it was forgotten about when
we added GUIOs.
Now the log() function writes to a file, as
the AGI engine did.
It appears that ScummVM doesn't have any "append" functionality.
As a result, I made this implementation create a new file each time
a message is logged. Note that the file is only created if the
log() function is called. The file name includes the game name
and the current time, ensuring that logs won't be overwritten.
The format is: agi.<gameid>.<currentime>.log and will be logged to
the working directory.
Last week I first implemented the log() function. In that commit
I just had it log to the console. In this commit we start
writing to a file.
This log() function was previously unimplemented in ScummVM. Its
purpose is to write log messages and some metadata about the game state
to a file.
This functionality does not affect game play. Presumably Sierra used
this to beta test their games. They would log the words that their
testers used but the game did not understand. The testers would
then submit the log file back to Sierra. Sierra would add the missing
words or descriptions to their games before release.
This is the first diff of a couple which will incrementally add this
functionality. In this diff, we just collect the information we need to
generate a log message close to what AGI actually did.
There are two notable differences which will be fixed in future diffs:
(See the comments in the code for more details.)
1. No message formatting.
2. We log to the console only.
For context, I'm currently writing an AGI game and would like to
collect this output from my friends and family, which is why I'm
implementing this functionality today.
Depending on other game option checkboxes. This is used to
enable/disable the semi-smooth scrolling checkboxes for FM Towns Loom,
since it's only used when smooth scrolling is enabled.
Macintosh versions of GR and MH1-2 use the same combined directory
filename convention as DOS, Atari ST and Apple IIgs (but not Amiga or
CoCo3). However, the filename convention for volumes uses the common
AGI v2 format, without a game id prefix.
Example:
DOS: GRDIR, GRVOL.x
Mac: GRDIR, VOL.x
To account for this, we'll use the following:
1. Rather than take the directory filename prefix from volume files,
we now get this from the directory files themselves (which makes
more sense anyway).
2. Later, when loading individual volumes, check for Mac platform and
exclude the prefix from the path.
This improves the previous single game check for Mac Gold Rush, which
formed directory and volume paths for that game only. This check is
now obsolete and has been removed. The detection flag that was used to
invoke the workaround has also been removed.
Add both Manhunters to detection tables. They don't start yet (because
the AGI V3 games store their directory files differently). I'll attempt
to fix this by adapting the method used for Mac Gold Rush.
Also add a new PC version of MH2 in order to resolve an md5 conflict
with the Mac version.
* Remove redundant language text
* Fix entries with duplicate md5 hashes
* UTF-8 titles since they're now supported
* Correct titles to match game & AGI Wiki
* New CoCo 3 ports of fanmade titles
* Fix alphabetical sorting
Gourd of the Beans is now listed as a Windows game. This was
released in 2015 and was always distributed with a modern interpreter,
specifically NAGI. It was never meant to be played in MS-DOS.
