Added a hidden ConfMan property that controls how many
saves are allowed, and added code that sets it to 8 at
startup, provided the game is nancy7 or earlier. This makes
sure that later games, which had infinite saves, can have
their save menus supported correctly.
Changed the names of the pointers to GraphicsManager
and CursorManager to be shorter, since they were
inconsistent with the rest of the managers, and typing
them out is a chore.
Added a struct corresponding to the MARK boot chunk,
which contains the source rects for the autotext markings
introduced in nancy8 (and used in the journal).
In nancy8, the save/load menu got a rewrite, and its data
is incompatible with the older version. This commit
introduces a new struct type for the new LOAD data,
and makes sure it is loaded. This allows nancy8 to boot.
Added support for the freshly modified nancy.dat. The
previous version is also supported and will be kept that way
until the next time nancy.dat gets updated in master
(most likely after work on nancy8/9 is finished)
Removed the detection flag that was used to mark a
specific nancy3 version with 1 extra byte in its BSUM.
Instead, a heuristic has been added to the BSUM reading
code that checks for it at runtime.
The Russian translations of nancy5 and up (except for
nancy6) switched to a Windows-1251 encoding for their
strings, and changed up the format of the FONT chunks.
Added facilities for reading patch files embedded within
nancy.dat. The patches are distributed as a single ciftree,
which is loaded (almost) normally into SearchMan. However,
patches can also be enabled/disabled at will via specific
ConfMan entries, whose names are also embedded within
nancy.dat, and read at runtime.
CifFile/CifTree classes have been completely rewritten and
moved to their own header file. ResourceManager is now
exclusively responsible for loading IFF files, making sure
loose .iff/.cif files take precedence before ones embedded
in a ciftree.
Also, completed work on the cif/ciftree exporting functions.
Made sure that the main loop doesn't run for a frame longer
than it should when quitting the game. Also fixed the checks
for suppressed graphics so they now actually work.
Added support for three different action records types
(TableIndexOverlay, TableIndexPlaySound, and
TableIndexSetValueHS), all of which use nancy6's newly-
introduced TABL chunk, which describes a table of values
that can be changed through interaction. This is used
in nancy6's museum narrations puzzle.
It seems the version of nancy3 I use for testing is slightly
different from the one that was shipped originally, and the
one currently being sold on Steam. Notably, it features a
slightly different BSUM format not found in later games,
with the difference being there to support the Dreamcatcher
logo shown in the beginning. This commit fixes every other
version, which do not have that extra logo or bit.
In cases where the mouse falls inside a hotspot with the
same cursor type in both the previous and next scenes,
we now avoid a single frame where the cursor flashes to
the default and then back.
The PCAL chunk is no longer an exception to the
way BOOT chunks are read and processed; it now has
its own struct type and can be accessed through
getEngineData().
Previously, the NancyEngine class was responsible for
handling creation and destruction of many naked pointers
to engine data, which led to several instances of memory
leaks that needed to be fixed. These changes introduce a
standard way of handling that same data, similar to the
one already used by PuzzleData inside Scene. Unfortunately,
this does add the need for relevant data to be casted to
the proper type before it is handled.
Fixed up all the old commented-out menu code and made
it useable again. Added support for at least up to nancy5's
main menu. For now, several buttons have been left disabled
and the menus are only accessible through a hidden
config option.
Added facilities for deferred loading of data that would take
far too long for a single frame. Deferred loading is
executed after the regular loop, where the system would
previously just sleep. Added deferred loading to RaycastPuzzle, which now no longer freezes the game
while initializing.
The new nancy.dat structure is now read correctly by
the engine. As a result, sound channels are no longer
hardcoded, and some new logic has been added to
dialogue condition handling.
Nancy3 did away with earlier versions of the engine's usage
of 1 and 2 as false/true values. This commit adds two
new values to NancyEngine: _true and _false, which hold
the correct values used by different versions of the engine.
Implemented the three Conversation action record types
introduced in nancy2. These replace primary video, with
ConversationVideo being just a renamed
PlayPrimaryVideoChan0.
