Humongous Entertainment/Progress

< Humongous Entertainment
Revision as of 09:25, 20 October 2005 by Kirben (talk | contribs) (Compared original puttime and updated issues.)

General Issues

  • Add support for deleting and renaming of files, to enable original game's load and save system.
  • Add support for drawWizImage masking, triggered by flag 0x80 (Used in maze)
  • Add support for drawWizComplexPolygon (For Ski Ride & Credits of pajama3)
  • Add support for shadows via XMAP resources in drawWizImage (Used by akos codec 32 too)
  • Dog and probably other games may write non-ASCII characters and '=' into .ini fields values.
 An example of such entry is highscore: "_HS=!$Q!B  Ñ‘=m4". Hex representation of the value is
 "21 24 51 21  42 20 20 a3 3d 6d 34". Probably we substitute non-ascii characters as well as '='
 by \xYY like it is done in C.

Sound system

Complete support for music/sound engine of the games

  • Multiple sound channels (8 channels)
  • Pool music and select music from pool
  • Sound variables (26 variables)
  • Sound flags (Looping and others)
  • Process sound code from SBNG resources, using a secondary process in main loop

U32 library calls

Complete the U32 library calls, triggered by case 2001 of kernelGetFunctions/kernelSetFunctions. Unfortunately the U32 library calls are unique in each HE game.

  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in basketball
  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer
  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccermls
  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer2004

Big Thinkers 1st Grade

Issues effect demo and full game.

  • The image of painting in room isn't updated correctly, after painting your own picture.

Issues effect full game only

  • The car gets stuck in the smart star challenge, maybe sound related ?

Fatty Bear

  • Add support for sound pitch changes for piano notes in DOS version.
  • Regressions which cause parts of the inventory area to be shown in upper left corner in many rooms.

Freddi Fish 1 demo

  • In older demo, the circles of inventory area don't pop into bubbles when clicked on.

Freddi Fish 2

Issues effect demo and full game.

  • Animation isn't synced during songs (ie the music when talking to captain near submarine)

Issues effect full game only

  • When using chalk on black board in school, can draw slightly outside the bounds.

Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries

  • The characters of 'LOADING----' message at start of each level are displayed at wrong positions
  • Russian updated version has bad picture in resource which shows up as garbage even with original interpretator. It crashes ScummVM at elast under Win32. With FreeBSD it works ok.

Let's Explore with Buzzy Games

  • Graphical glitches around screen edges (ie when trying to go outside in farmdemo) sometimes. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.

Pajama Sam 1

  • The characters in the 'Kitchen' should each sing a unique song

Pajama Sam 2

  • Shadows aren't shown correctly, due to lack of XMAP support.

Pajama Sam 3

  • Pajama Sam is always shown wearing a pumpkin over head in 'A Complex Exterior'.
  • Shadows aren't shown correctly, due to lack of XMAP support.
  • Sprites aren't shown during 'Ski Ride', due to lack of zoom and angle support.
  • The images in 'Credits' aren't zoomed out and rotated, due to lack of zoom and angle support.

Pajama Sam's Lost & Found

  • Graphical glitches around screen edges in HE100 version.
  • Extra items to collect are shown sometimes, causing glitches as they are marked found. Maybe an array issue?

Putt-Putt Joins The Circus

  • No cursor image or zoom when using magnifying glass
  • Palette is wrong when loading savegame
  • Shadows aren't shown correctly, due to lack of XMAP support.

Putt-Putt Enters The Race

  • The flashlight doesn't work in 'i-tunnel', only a yellow filled cicle is shown.
  • Cars do not rotate when go over oil. Maybe it's related to Wiz rotation.
  • Shadows aren't shown correctly, due to lack of XMAP support.

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo

  • When you encouner Kenya the lion cub for the first time, you see a short cutscene. When Kenya tries to jump, her back is teared off with waterfall drops. This problem only occurs in the HE72 version.

Putt-Putt Travels Through Time

  • When the T-Rex is moving stone blocks, he is not masked by these blocks.
  • At the beginning, when Mr. Firebird is explaining the time portal, Putt-Putt is shown briefly. Presumably, he's just listening but his mouth is moving as if he was doing the talking.
  • (Possible glitch) I have this faint memory of something interesting/educational happening while driving around in the desert when playing it with the original interpreter, but nothing really happened in ScummVM. A missing feature, a user error, or a false memory? You tell me...

Putt-Putt and Pep's Balloon-O-Rama

  • The characters of 'LOADING-----' message at start of each level are displayed at wrong positions

Putt-Putt's Fun Shop

  • Add support for processWizImage modes 7, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17.
  • Shapes are drawn wrong. See screenshots. Note that set of chaotic lines under cursor on ScummVM screenshot is the filled in zig-zag of original.
