Short-term ToDos

• BUGS
  • Several warnings when entering the forest in ITE:
    • Anim::readAnimHeader(): found different start: 2567. Fix Anim::play()!
    • ITE_DecodeFrame: Invalid frame offset 8d4!
    • Anim::play: Error decoding frame 40!
  • Assertion failed: spriteList.spriteCount>spriteNumber, file saga/sprite.cpp, line 153 when entering the Elk King's court in ITE. Possibly related to character portraits.
  • When visiting Sist's office Rif becomes invisible and uncontrollable
  • Actors are always restored to exit #0. It is especially noticeable at ISO levels
  • When save was made at scene where there are actors additional to main three, game crashes during load
  • Protection screen (in Rats maze) crashes in Floppy version

• Interface
  • handleConverseUpdate scrolls converse too quickly
  • handleCommandUpdate scrolls inventory too quickly
  • Options dialog
  • Save/Load dialog

Long-term ToDos

Bugs/misfeatures

• Make actor animation Event-driven. See FIXME in actor.cpp. Maybe it should be INTERVAL_EVENT
• No script func should use ScriptDataWord directly. All of them should be converted to appropriate data types via getTYPE() functions
• Fix the usage of Rect so that it's more consistent with the rest of ScummVM, e.g. a rectangle covering the entire ITE screen should have right=320 and bottom=200. (eriktorbjorn, partly - mostly? - done)
• Inspect Font module - free memory, GameFontIds <-> FONT_ID
• Walk bug. When announcer puts medallion on Rif he should go backwards instead of turning and walking faced to screen
• In many places RSC_LoadResource() is called but memory is not freed afterwards, i.e. there is a huge leak
• Optimize screen output. Now we blit whole screen for each frame.
• When using the original XMIDI music resources, some songs play at the wrong speed. The worst example I've heard of this is the "Elk Fanfare" during the intro. It could be the meta events we don't handle, but at least the tempo event doesn't seem to make any difference. Maybe something in the data header instead...?
• In the dog's castle at guards' room (scene_change 177 ang go down) subtitles aren't shown. In floppy version there is complete silence both textual and audial. Looks to me as if subtitles are drawn outside the screen. Are the coordinates calculated wrong, or should the text drawing code compensate?
• Sound in old Win demo is all wrong -- either there is some unique sound format or I didn't guess it correctly

Legacy items

• Remove any traces of the additional level of abstraction reinherit used
• Remove homerolled high level data structures like stacks that should be provided by ScummVM if they aren't already.
• OO'ify (blah_mod.h contains public stuff, blah.h private stuff) [almost done]

Plans

• Remove use of floating point, especially doubles.
• Implement ShowSaveReminder(), that is that diskette
• Puzzle
