Allows testing the speed throttler for possible improvements
and to demonstrate what it affects and what it doesn't.
`speed_throttle 0` disables kGameIsRestarting throttling.
(Except for game-specific workarounds.)
This command is possible due to several recent cleanups of other
throttling mechanisms that overlapped and were absorbed by this one.
This is based on the work done for GSoC by @taylorzhancher in PR #3256
Highlights:
- TTS has been hooked globally onto places where text is shown
- TTS is currently performed for textboxes and button texts
- TTS stops when text windows are disposed (which enhances the in-game
experience)
- No game-specific logic has been added
- This hasn't been extensively tested with all SCI16 games yet
- There will be cases that are not handled properly yet
- The TTS functions have been grouped under a SciTTS class
GOG includes NRS scripts in PQ1VGA and PQ3 which trigger our
warning about fan patches. The patches introduce several forms of
speed throttling but we already throttle at the engine level.
This changes timing throughout the games and may cause conflicts.
This commit:
- Disables the speed throttling that the patches introduce
- Removes the warning for these versions
GOG versions now play the same as original unpatched ones.
- Common: add wordWrap function to ustr.cpp
- Bladerunner: Explicitly state we have a U32String in subs (same as Subtitles::loadOuttakeSubsText)
- Don't use translations for engine specific "put strings", because they might not support.
- SCI: Use const references for showScummVMDialog
- SCUMM:
-- Don't use translation in md5 warning. left comments with the translated version.
-- Remove some redundant headers in help.cpp
-- Don't use translation in handleSaveload when printing to console
-- Also, display success transaction correctly via u32::format
- TESTBED: Use fake constructor when setting label of button
- SKY: Correctly use translation when using SaveStateDescription
- ULTIMA: Don't use translations when display_string
- ENGINES:
-- GenerateUnknownGameReport correctly, with proper translations.
-- There was an error, where a function had been declared twice, in a header file. Correct this.
After the initial changes just to scummvm/gui for u32, this commit includes the whole project
- Widget creations now always have u32 descriptions, labels, or tooltips
- Message dialogs make use of default arguments instead of providing the same argument explicitly
- encode String::format properly before passing on as argument where necessary
- Modify hugo utils (yesNoBox and notify box) to use u32
- Also provide fake constructors for the above which redirect to the u32 constructor
- Convert all keymap descriptions to u32 across all engines
- showConfirmationDialog in mohawk now uses u32
- showScummVMDialog also uses u32
- Scumm engine has dialogs now which use u32
- General fixes and wrapping convertToU32String for setLabels and related functions
- Add a fake constructor to MesssageDialog which redirects to the u32 constructor
The resource patcher can be used to patch non-script resources
like views, maps, sounds, etc. It is more primitive than the script
patcher in that it does not use signatures for safe and automatic
patch relocation, but it does at least allow existing resources to
be grown if needed.
Refs Trac#9788. Refs Trac#9690.
Also gate them behind the presence of a 184.VOC resource instead of GID_CATDATE. This should not matter with regards to the remap effects -- the 2015 and 2016 demos had none, and the first that did has an unknown release status. Only the 2017 demo would fall, which would be easily fixed by dropping in a valid 184.VOC patch file.
This applies to any sleep, but is particularly noticeable in games
that send SysEx messages to MT-32, which add delays by sleeping in
order to avoid buffer overflows in the device firmware.
Convert macros and vars to enums, rename keyboard events in
preparation for adding key up events, clean up unnecessary nested
conditionals, add TODOs for potential future work.
To enable the optional content censoring mode, Phant2 looks
for a RESDUK.PAT file, which is normally placed by the game's
installer if the user chose to enable censorship. If the file
exists, the game reads an unlock password out of the file and
asks the user to enter the password when starting a new game to
create an uncensored game, or to click a "less intense" button
to start the game with censoring. The censorship state of the
game is then persisted in the save game file, and installations
with the RESDUK.PAT file need to enter the password again in
order to restore any of the uncensored saves.
Since we do not have an installer that can enable this feature,
add a game option toggle to enable/disable censoring (for the
releases that have the optional censorship mode) instead so the
censored content feature is available for anyone that wants to use
it. This flag is restored from ScummVM whenever a save game is
loaded, so it can be toggled on or off at any point without
needing a separate save game, unlike in the original interpreter.
For whatever reason, Sierra decided that the final patches would
go in the root directory for Phant2. The game disc includes
(different, older) patches for many of the same resources in the
PATCHES directory, and loading those instead makes the game not
always work quite right.
Upon investigation of Sound code across SCI32 games, it was
determined that there are actually (at least) 3 different
revisions, not just a single SCI2.1 version. This patch only
changes the parts of Sound code that are relevant to the correct
use of Audio32.
Fixes Trac#9736, Trac#9756, Trac#9767, Trac#9791.
In SSCI, games could never start at tick 0 because the video
benchmarking code on game startup would take several ticks to
run. In ScummVM, where the benchmarking code is disabled, it
becomes possible for games to start at tick 0. This can break a
lot of kernel code, which uses tick 0 as a special value
indicating that a feature is not active. For example, in GK2,
the music at the start of the game will not fade in on systems
that are fast enough to start audio playback at tick 0, since
a fade start tick of 0 is used to indicate audio fade is disabled.
Fixes Trac#9830.
Calling to SciEngine::syncSoundSettings from GuestAdditions
recurses back into GuestAdditions, which is obviously not
desirable. Even when it didn't manage to cause infinite recursion
(as in SQ6 demo), it would make the UI behave in broken ways (e.g.
the +/- buttons on the music slider in SQ6 would not work because
the UI would just get updated immediately back to the closest
rounded value).
LSL7 originally came with music in two qualities in subdirectories of
the 'music' directory, 22s8 and 22s16. The gog.com release doesn't do
this and only ships the hq music in the root of 'music/'. This PR adds
it to the search path.
Closes gh-951.
