Place file named 'scummvm=autorun' next to the ScummVM.
If the file is empty, scummvm will run in autodetect mode, basically
as './scummvm -p . --auto-detect'.
If the file is not empty, then command line parameters will be read
from it one per line. Empty lines and lines starting from '#' are ignored.
If the user supplies more parameters at the command line, those
will also be used and will override the parameters from the autorun file.
Rename scummvm executable into 'scummvm-auto*' and it is equivalent
of 'scummvm -p . --auto-run'. All additional arguments on the command
line are also processed and override the automatic arguments.
This new mode is functionally identical to playback mode, however
a new recording file is used to track the actual output of ScummVM.
This feature can be used to update a suite of existing recordings after
a renderer or a timing change.
Fixes GUI events leaking into engines at startup. This caused
Phantasmagoria 1 to skip its introduction if the game was started from
the ScummVM GUI with a keyboard (Enter) but not with a mouse because
the key-down event started the engine and the key-up event remained
in the queue.
This also purges and mouse events since we happen to already have a
purgeMouseEvents() method. We may want to also clear joystick inputs,
or possibly the entire event queue, but that can be done after the
upcoming release. For now, the known bug is fixed.
When not displaying the GUI, plugins are not unloaded.
This can cause problems on AmigaOS where plugins must be unloaded before
exiting. Else, some plugins with global destructors cause crashes being
destroyed too late.
OSystem now just returns a nullptr if there is no text to speech manager instance
(because none is compiled into the binary, or the system doesn't provide support
for it). This removed the need for the engine authors to add scummvm osystem compile
time options checks into their engine code
At some point when splitting the MetaEngine to a detection
plugin and a static meta engine, the former was called
MetaEngine while the latter was called MetaEngineConnect.
Thus was then later change to MetaEngineDetection and
MetaEngine. But some references were left to the former
names in comments and documentation.
This was only used by the ps2 backend, and that backend no longer
exists. Also now backends that want to force RTL should use the
kFeatureNoQuit OSystem feature instead.
This config was handled in the DefaultEventManager, but this did not
work for engines that quit the game without using a QUIT_EVENT (such
as SCI). So now it is handled one level up directly in scummvm_main.
Note: It is still also handled in the DefaultEventManager so that we
get the correct confirmation dialog there when "confirm_exit" is true.
