Bugs, glitches and ToDos

Script bugs

Implement/finish up some commands and script functions:

• Commands:
  • cmd_restart (used in RtZ)

• Script functions:
• For all:
  • sfPollEvent
  • sfPlayMusic (for LGoP2/Manhole)
  • sfGetMusicBeat
  • sfPlayCd, sfStopCd, sfGetCdStatus, sfGetCdTime
  • sfGetSynthType
• For Return to Zork:
  • sfGetSoundEnergy (used to animate the mouths of characters when they're talking)
  • sfRestartEvents
  • sfDrawAnimPic
  • sfShakeScreen
• For LGoP2:
  • sfHomeText
• For Manhole:NE:
  • sfSetTextPos
  • sfPlayNote
  • sfStopNote
  • sfPlayTele
  • sfStopTele

General

- LGoP2 does not wait for a mouse click when examining some objects - e.g. the magazines in the Indian's teepee or the human prisoners on planet X. This makes the message shown when examining those objects disappear prematurely

Graphics

• Some screen effects are missing:
  • FX 1
  • FX 3
  • FX 4
  • FX 5
  • FX 6
  • FX 7
  • FX 8
  • FX 11 (inverse of 10)
  • FX 13 (inverse of 12)
  • FX 16
  • FX 18
  • FX 19
  • FX 20
• Use "dirty rectangles" (e.g. in updateSprites())

Sound

• Music is disabled in LGoP2 and Manhole (it's not loaded correctly)
• Finish up MIDI music playing (only Soundblaster music is played for now)

Video

• In RtZ's intro, after the flyover, an invalid number of sound chunks is read. There is currently a hack which stops the parser when this happens to prevent the game from crashing, but the intro credits screen is not shown

File-specific tasks

database.cpp

• Read/verify database header
• Verify save game header

pmvplayer.cpp

• Read/evaluate PMV file header

screen.cpp

• Implement drawMenuText in drawSpriteChannels -> it's never used
• Implement clipRect in placeSprite(), placeAnim() and placeText()
• Finish up Screen::show()
• Finish up printText()

Bugs of the original engine

• The screen effect palette changes incorrectly after a PMV video
• Animations in LGoP2 are incorrectly drawn above text (they should be drawn below it). An example can be seen when talking to the Indian as Lydia and performing the kiss/screw action. Also, with Barth, it can be seen from the first screen if you try and shoot Barth's spaceship: Barth will say something, and the smoke from the spaceship will be incorrectly drawn above the letters
