- In runGame(), in main.cpp, we get a plugin of type MetaEngine.
- This MetaEngine cannot createInstances, but it just a helper class.
- Connect a MetaEngine class with it's factory class - MetaEngineConnect.
- Then, simply call the method.
Up until last commit, everything was working fine but the amount of files changed was too large. This commit tries to reduce the changes.
- Add a fake constructor to Keymap, text-to-speech, setDescription (save-state)
- Redirecting functions for PopUpWidget::appendEntry, ButtonWidget::setLabel, GUIErrorMessage
- Use the above functions and constructors to reduce changes in Engines
- Fix warnings being in unicode. Only output english text in - Warnings, Errors, etc.
- Mark some strings as "translation" strings. (Not yet added to POTFILES)
- Remove some CP related things from po/modules.mk
- Previously used some Common::convertToU32 where it was not necessary, replace this with u32constructor
This commit also includes some additional major changes.
- Return U32String from TransMan getTranslation()
- Change tooltips to be U32Strings
- Remove temporary code of convertToU32String
- U32 Support various dialogs (Browser, FileBrowser, Messages, Chooser, etc)
- U32 for music plugins
- U32 for OSD messages
- Add some helper functions to ustr.cpp
- Change default tooltips from nullptr & 0 -> ""
- Some runtime exceptions may occur when changing languages due to incorrect String::Format
By implementing MetaEngine::buildEngineOptionsWidget, engines can
instantiate a container widget that will be shown in the Engine tab of
the edit game dialog. The default implementation retains the existing
behavior and shows the extra GUI options.
Game controller input is now enabled whenever a compatible device is
connected. The keymapper's keymaps are refreshed when a joystick is added
or removed.
Fixes#10366.
When returning to the launcher with dynamic plugins enabled, the config manager
is re-created, invalidating the pointers the keymapper keeps to the
configuration domains.
Fixes#11348.
Previously backend defaults where added to the keymap defaults.
However, it became apparent backends need to change the default bindings
to resolve conflicts.
The engineId, gameId and description come from static data in the game
engines. When the game engines are compiled as dynamic plugins, the QGD
structure may outlive the engine plugin. Making a copy ensures the data
remains available.
Fixes#11292.
Qualified game names have the following form: engineId:gameId.
Unqualified game names are still supported as long as they are not
ambiguous. However they are considered deprecated and are no longer
displayed by the --list-games command.
The engine ID identifies which engine should be used to launch the target.
Also remove the 'single ID' system. Different games from engines that used
that system now have different game IDs.
