Cine/TODO

Source Cleanup

• Wrap the code into C++ classes where applicable/suitable. Possible classes candidates :
  • Gfx/Screen (bg_list.cpp, gfx.cpp)
  • Script (script.cpp)
  • Resource (bg.cpp, msg.cpp, part.cpp, prc.cpp, pal.cpp)
  • CineEngine (object.cpp, anim.cpp, various.cpp)
  • Sound (already done)
• rename functions and variables that need it
• reorganize functions and variables in cine/various.cpp

ToDo

• implement, adapt or remove the following options in the system menu :
  • Pause
  • Restart Game
  • Change Backup Drive
• add support for AtariST sound and music resources (if different from Amiga)
• add support for MT32 and PC Speaker instruments in the PC SoundFX player code (write PCSoundDriver subclasses)
• add code for fadeIn/fadeOut
• optimize the rendering (doing a full screen and palette refresh on each frame could be avoided)
• use Common::List instead of custom linked lists (should allow removal and/or simplification of several functions)
• cruisE and Cine have several chunks of code in common, find a way to factorize
  • sound code/system
  • gfx routines
  • unpacking routine
  • resource loading (parts, vol.cnf)
• finish Operation Stealth support
  • Palette not correct on loading savegames for first screen.
  • Z-Order not correct e.g. Scene 2 in the Bank Vault
  • Save/Load not possible between Scene 5 (Otto throws John into Sea off Boat) until after Scene 6 Labyrinth Arcade Sequence and During Scene 8 Rat Labyrinth Arcade Sequences - Think this was possible in the original and makes the arcade sequences much harder.
  • WARNING: Undefined opcode 0x40 in OSScriptInfo::opcodeHandler!
  • WARNING: Unable to find part file for filename '02-.ADL'!
  • WARNING: Unable to load soundfx instrument '02-.ADL'!
  • WARNING: Unable to find part file for filename 'QTRACK32.SPL'!
  • Misspelling Script Bugs :
    • Object "Bench of Bank Notes" - Should be Bunch
    • Read(y) - Missing y
    • Passport "English" should be British
    • Electrique Cable (for Razor) - should be Electric
• Clean up any remaining memory leaks

Bugs

• Future Wars: Looping samples don't loop in Amiga version (#3091660)
