The first track in the LotT introduction fades out before the second track
starts. The fade-out is implemented by reducing the velocity of the new notes
that are being played. Because this does not affect notes that are already
playing, the fade-out effect is not very good. I've replaced this by a fade-out
using MIDI channel volume.
This fixes several issues with the introduction animation:
- The timing of the various parts of the introduction did not match the timing
of the original interpreter. The music did not properly match the images and
the last section was completely missing. I've adjusted the timing to beter
match the original interpreter.
- The VGA palette of the first text screens was broken and would display them
as completely white. I've added a patch to add the colors of the palette of the
following text screens.
- The animation of the soldiers approaching each other would fade out on the
original interpreter. I've added this.
- The images of the battle sequence would fade out on the EGA version. This
does not match the original interpreter and has been removed.
