This class manages a buffer where all data usually stored in detection
plugin will get copied before unloading the plugin and starting the
game.
This class expects that two functions are present in every
GameDescription: sizeBuffer which calculates how many bytes we will need
to store the entry in RAM and toBuffer which copies the data in the
buffer and fix the pointers in the class.
At the end, it is expected that an ADDynamicGameDescription doesn't
depend anymore on data stored in the detection plugin.
The AD_GAME_DESCRIPTION_HELPERS macro allow to implement these functions
in all GameDescription which don't have any pointer except those in
ADGameDescription.
The autosave refactoring that was done in
7adad5aaf5831dc5adcee140f38aacc4a5db2518 used g_engine for identifying the
autosave slot. This worked for in-game save/load, but doesn't fit when
called from the launcher.
Fix by passing MetaEngine to SaveStateDescriptor ctor and using it for this
query.
Amends 7adad5aaf5831dc5adcee140f38aacc4a5db2518.
Some engines call setAutosave and some don't. isAutosave is used to
determine if a saved game is an autosave, but in fact, on most cases it
just falls back to comparing the name to "Autosave".
This is wrong for several reasons:
* Older versions of ScummVM used Autosave 0.
* The name "Autosave" is translated, so if you change the language, it
won't be detected.
Instead of relying on the name, use the well-known getAutosaveSlot() from
Engine/MetaEngine.
Fixes#12735.
This employs a "lazy" approach: the "format" for the credits stays
exactly as it was, i.e., perl code. Of course one may want to change
this to another format (e.g. YAML, JSON, XML; or also shell script or
AWK, like `configure.engine` uses). But I deliberately kept it simple,
to get a minimal change that is easy to verify. Any further changes to
e.g. the format can be layered atop this.
It seems that screen content must be written in native endianness
here, not in little-endian.
This appears to fix most scenes, cutscenes, and the bag.
Shadows, menus, and text are still wrong. Audio hasn't been tested
yet.
