- Windows-only samples now respect "Prefer digital sound effects" config
- Windows-only samples now only applied when a regular digital sample
doesn't exist. This is SSCI behavior and mildly affects two sound
effects in the monolith burger mini-game. Confirmed in disassembly.
- Windows-only samples now play in Windows mode and DOS samples and
MIDIs play in DOS mode.
- Default audio experience now matches the selected platform.
This mainly concerns restoring sounds after loading savefiles, but it should make the whole relationship between playing and paused sounds more accurate.
The test case which I was told about was KQ4, room 21, picking up the golden ball under the bridge, saving during playback of the pickup sound and then loading that savegame. It would result in hanging note due toe the sound being triggered multiple times by reconstructPlaylist() and updateSci0Cues(). Now, the sound should only start once.
I've changed the code to be more in line with disasm and tested some situations that sluicebox told me about or that I found in the comments (ICEMAN room 14, LSL3 start scene). I got rid of isQueued, since the original doesn't have that, it has caused some confusion and doesn't even get saved with the savegames.
I cleaned up updateSci0Cues(), so that it (together with processUpdateCues()) does a bit more what the original Midi timer proc does there. An exception is the sound fade out code in processUpdateCues(). It seems that we need that, as we don't have the fading code in the drivers like the original.
The original SCI0 code is actually much simpler than our code. It relies on a correctly sorted playlist (based on priority), but my impression is that we got that right, even if we do it slightly differently. I added a sortPlayList() to the sound init, since the original inserts the node at the right position, too.
Now that we match SSCI behavior when it comes to interrupting samples
when new samples play, we need to implement kDoAudio(13) so that the CD
version of Freddy Pharkas can detect these interruptions. Otherwise,
the game will softlock if the points sound effect or narration is
interrupted.
Fixes several problems with the SoundResource class:
- Constructor doesn't fully initialize object if resource doesn't exist
- Destructor crashes if object not fully initialized
- Constructor has no mechanism to report failure
- Callers believe failure is reported by constructor returning null
- SoundCommandParser::initSoundResource attempts to pre-detect failure
insufficiently in the absence of a formal mechanism.
SoundResource now always fully initializes, the destructor no longer
accesses uninitialized memory, and an exists() method has been added
which callers now test.
SQ6 Mac can now progress past the main menu.
Sound:vol is updated when updating cues starting in SCI_VERSION_1_MIDDLE.
Fixes bug #10244. SQ4 localized floppy versions depend on this when getting
in the orange ship, they fade music and wait for the volume to reach zero.
Confirmed against asm that this is not in SQ4 floppy (early) but is in
LSL1VGA (middle) and SQ4 localized floppies and SQ4CD (late).
Trying to find differences in Lighthouse's audio sample playback,
I discovered that SCI3 had its own variant of handling volumes and
sending this volume information back to game scripts. It is not
known if this fixes any sound bug.
Which were originally only played, when using the Windows interpreter.
Afaik the DOS interpreter was incapable of playing more than 1
sample at a time, which was probably the reason why Sierra only
added these for the Windows interpreter.
For example a sample is now played, when points are awarded.
Those samples are currently used all the time and will also
enhance the game, when platform DOS is chosen.
In case someone wishes to opt-out of this, we could add a game
specific option.
We do something like this for Space Quest 3 already,
that's why I don't see a reason to add a game option right now.
This fixes at least the character selection screen in QFG4CD,
where the sound for the torches is supposed to loop, but wasn't
because kDoSoundSetLoop would bail out before setting the loop
property on the soundObj.
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.
This patch includes enhancements to the ScummVM integration with
SCI engine, with particular focus on SCI32 support.
1. Fixes audio volumes syncing erroneously to ScummVM in games
that modify the audio volume without user action (e.g. SCI1.1
talkies that reduce music volume during speech playback). Now,
volumes will only be synchronised when the user interacts with
the game's audio settings. This mechanism works by looking for
a known volume control object in the stack, and only syncing
when the control object is present. (Ports and planes were
researched and found unreliable.)
2. Fixes audio syncing in SCI32 games that do not set game
volumes through kDoSoundMasterVolume/kDoAudioVolume, like GK1,
GK2, Phant1, and Torin.
3. Fixes speech/subtitles syncing in SCI32 games that do not use
global 90, like LSL6hires.
4. Fixes in-game volume controls in SCI32 games reflecting
outdated audio volumes when a change is made during the game
from the ScummVM launcher.
5. Fixes SCI32 games that would restore volumes from save games
or reset volumes on startup, which caused game volumes to be
out-of-sync with ScummVM when started.
6. ScummVM integration code for audio sync has been abstracted
into a new GuestAdditions class. This keeps the ScummVM-
specific code all in one place, with only small hooks into the
engine code. ScummVM integrated save/load code should probably
also go here in the future.
Fixes Trac#9700.
This provides a complete implementation of kDoAudio through
SCI2.1mid, plus partial implementation of SCI3 features.
Digital audio calls shunted through kDoSound have also been
updated to go through the SCI32 audio mixer, though these shunts
are a bit hacky because the ScummVM implementation of kDoSound
does not currently match how SSCI kDoSound is designed.
It is probably possible in the future to just replace the SCI1.1
audio code (audio.cpp) with the new SCI32 code, since the major
differences seem to be that (1) SCI1.1 only supported one digital
audio playback channel (this is configurable already), (2) it
had extra commands for CD audio playback and queued sample
playback.
The demo versions of these games were using a very different engine -
SCI1.1 vs SCI2/SCI2.1. Thus, we split them into different game IDs,
to avoid mixing specific game checks for them, as well as specific
game workarounds, which are different for the demos than the full
versions. Also, the demos should be working when SCI32 is disabled.
For these games, we don't use ADGF_DEMO, to avoid game IDs like
foodemo-demo
SCI1 sound resources can have an embedded priority. We now use that by
default, unless an explicit DoSound/SetPriority call overrides it.
Thanks waltervn.
This fixes relative priority of songs in at least PQ3 room 29.
Also increase savegame version to 33.
it seems that sound system up till SCI0_LATE uses int16, afterwards it seems they changed to byte
main music object (conMusic) in Laura Bow 1 uses -1 as priority. This was truncated to 255 till now, which resulted in many sound effects not getting played, because those used priority 0
