The German demo has an installer that copies part of the game's
resources, but omits all the files that are needed to actually run it.
Thus, require onetime.pak to be present (a required resource), which
will ignore directories that the demo installer has created
There seem to be some differences in the data structures between the English
demo and the other versions of the game, which causes ScummVM to reference
invalid animations, hotspots and fonts. Marked it as unstable for now.
For each engine:
- Make a new folder detection
- Move detection-related files inside the folder
- Add a new module "enginename/detection"
- Add DETECT_OBJS here
- Adjust the normal engine module to remove detect_objs
- Adjust every file for the new changes.
Common::MacResMan is now able to open files from a specified
Common::Archive. This is a bit hacky as dynamic_cast is used to break
the Archive encapsulation to retreive the underlying FSNode. It should
however be more correct than the previous code that assumed files were
at the root of the currently running game's path.
AdvancedDetector constructs a Common::Archive from its FileMap based
filesystem cache and uses it to detect the mac resource fork files.
This cuts the time it takes to run the detection code with all the
engines enabled as dynamic plugins on the 3DS to 30 s from 280 s.
This commit introduces the following changes:
1. Graphics::loadThumbnail()
Now returns a boolean and takes a new argument skipThumbnail which
defaults to false. In case of true, loadThumbnail() reads past the
thumbnail data in the input stream instead of actually loading the
thumbnail. This simplifies savegame handling where, up until now,
many engines always read the whole savegame metadata (including
the thumbnail) and then threw away the thumbnail when not needed
(which is in almost all cases, the most common exception being
MetaEngine::querySaveMetaInfos() which is responsible for loading
savegame metadata for displaying it in the GUI launcher.
2. readSavegameHeader()
Engines which already implement such a method (name varies) now take
a new argument skipThumbnail (default: true) which is passed
through to loadThumbnail(). This means that the default case for
readSavegameHeader() is now _not_ loading the thumbnail from a
savegame and just reading past it. In those cases, e.g.
querySaveMetaInfos(), where we actually are interested in loading
the thumbnail readSavegameHeader() needs to explicitely be called
with skipThumbnail == false.
Engines whose readSavegameHeader() (name varies) already takes an
argument loadThumbnail have been adapted to have a similar
prototype and semantics.
I.e. readSaveHeader(in, loadThumbnail, header) now is
readSaveHeader(in, header, skipThumbnail).
3. Error handling
Engines which previously did not check the return value of
readSavegameHeader() (name varies) now do so ensuring that possibly
broken savegames (be it a broken thumbnail or something else) don't
make it into the GUI launcher list in the first place.
Added it into hasFeature() of all engines which returned `true` in
simpleSaveNames() before.
As mentioned in #788, SCI is not always using simple names, so it
doesn't have such feature now.
Engines with "simple" savenames would support "Run in background" in
save/load dialog and gradual save slots unlocking. Other engines
save/load feature would be locked until save sync is over.
This unifies the engine names in MetaEngine::getName() and the
credits. In particular drop "Engine" or "engine" from the names when
it was present and use expanded names in credits when the
MetaEngine uses it (e.g. "Beneath a Steel Sky" instead of "BASS").
