Ahoy there! My work is primarily focused on the [[SCUMM]] engine, with the objective of (trying to) rise its accuracy. | |||
==Worked on== | ==Worked on== | ||
These are my past macrotasks: | |||
* | * [[SCUMM]]: reversed and rewrote the Digital iMUSE subsystem, responsible for audio playback in [[Full Throttle]], [[The Dig]] and [[The Curse of Monkey Island]]; | ||
* | * [[SCUMM]]: revamped the audio subsystem of the SMUSH video playback engine to improve compatibility for [[Full Throttle]] and [[The Dig]]; | ||
* | *[[SCUMM]]: helped rewriting the subtitles and text rendering routines for version 7 and 8 of the engine for accuracy purposes; | ||
*[[SCUMM]]: revamped timer and screen effects routines to match the original DOS games; | |||
* [[SCUMM]]: provided sparse accuracy fixes and improvements regarding versions 4+ of the engine, particularily version 8 ([[The Curse of Monkey Island]]). | |||

Here's all fun stuff I'm working on right now: | |||
* | * [[SCUMM]]: implementing the original GUI and save menus. | ||
== | ==Future TO-DOs== | ||
This is a list of all the tasks I'd like to tackle sooner rather than later, listed in no particular order (and with no guarantee of success...): | |||
* | * [[Humongous Entertainment/Games|SCUMM/HE]]: rewrite the audio system for [[Moonbase Commander]]; | ||
* | * [[SCUMM]]: implement proper Audio CD saving and restoring for [[Loom]] (VGA); | ||
* | * [[SCUMM]]: rewrite [[ScummVM Tools|compress_scumm_bun]] and update the Digital iMUSE engine in order to restore support for compressed audio for [[The Dig]] and [[The Curse of Monkey Island]]; | ||
*[[SCUMM]]: update the Digital iMUSE engine to have proper support for high quality audio (44100Hz, 16-bit) to allow high quality fan-dubs and high quality music replacements; | |||
*[[SCUMM]]: refactor and publish already written tools which would allow users to extract, edit and replace the contents of .BUN files; | |||
*[[SCUMM]]: update the Full Throttle version of the Digital iMUSE engine to support a more recent version of the [https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Creative_Voice Creative Voice File] (.VOC) audio format, so to restore support for the [https://github.com/BLooperZ/remonstered reMONSTERed] fan patch; | |||
*[[SCUMM]]: write a lipsync generation tool for [[The Curse of Monkey Island]] to allow proper lipsync for fan-dubs. | |||
==Eventually wants to work on== | ==Eventually wants to work on== | ||
In the future I'd like to: | |||
* | * [[GrimE]]: port the Digital iMUSE audio engine from [[SCUMM]]; | ||
* | * [[GrimE]]: get familiar with the engine, so to provide accuracy fixes; | ||
* | * [[GrimE]]: reverse and port the HMIFXLIB.DLL library, responsible for reverb and other DSP effects. | ||
But for now I'll have to accept the fact that I simply don't have enough time... :-P | |||
