* Backwards playback/seeking
** Myst ME needs this for the retracting weight in the clock tower (*sigh*)
* The Cyan logo repeats some frames at the end. I call it "Cyan logo syndrome." This is caused by the lack of handling of multiple edit lists. FFmpeg doesn't handle this yet either.

The game is playable and should be completable to all four endings, though many issues still need to be fixed.

* Myst ME support is missing these codecs: QDesign Music 2 (partially working) and Sorenson Video 1.
* Myst 10th Edition requires the Myst ME codecs plus Sorenson Video 3.
* JPEG Optimization for Myst ME.
* Myst Original - Background sound restarts incorrectly compared to original interpreter on a number of cards. <br>Good test case for this is Myst Card 4697 and 4689 (Myst Imager Forechamber Tunnel - Background Music).<br>These play resource Ids 4697 and 4689 from VIEW sound block respectively, which is the same sound, but glitches <br>due to the playback restart. It is probable the original interpreter on new sound playback continues from the <br>same time offset, if this is within the new sound's duration i.e. thus no "seam" is heard.

Main Mohawk TODO

Video

  • Some Cinepak frames have corruption.
    • The Myst linking book video on D'ni has a corrupted Cinepak frame (data-wise). Right now, we just skip that frame (and throw a warning). It looks like QuickTime does this too.
    • The CD (but not the DVD) version of Riven has at least two videos with a corrupt frame: the wood chipper (when power is directed elsewhere) and using the trap book before talking with Gehn (when not on Tay).
  • Myst's fortress rotation holo-simulator requires playing QT movies with edit lists backwards. For now this is hacked around in the Mechanical code so that the puzzle works properly.

Myst Status

The game is completable to all four endings.

Known issues

  • Myst ME 10th Anniversary Edition requires Sorenson Video 3 for the UbiSoft logo
    • Since SVQ3 is quite large (and based on h.264), we may suggest the user just take the video from the Macintosh portion of the disc, which is QTRLE
  • The help system is missing in Myst ME

Riven TODO

Status

The game first became completable with bb5db4a. As of 245b733, the game is completable with no prior knowledge.

Main TODO

  • Cleanup hotspot debugging mode. The water effect and videos write over it.

Living Books TODO

  • Take another look at how rewinding is meant to work.

  • Implement the rest of the scripting used in the later LB games, including variable saving/loading.
  • Handle the proxies and compiled scripts used in v4 (The Rugrats Adventure Game, Arthur's Computer Adventure). fuzzie has preliminary code for this.

CSTime TODO

  • Implement the intro/transition videos (HQ/time tunnel).
  • Draw the text on Carmen's notes.

Other Games TODO

  • They (mostly) all use QuickTime video.
    • The re-release of Zoombinis uses Bink Video!
    • Some Kid Pix games use Smacker (in tSMK resources)
  • Some educational games (e.g. Treehouse, Zoombini) use some TrueType fonts.
