== kPlatform subops == | |||
kPlatform supports a handful of miscellaneous Mac-specific sub operations. The SCI32 ones are different than SCI16, and some changed between SCI32 versions. I have decompiled and audited all kPlatform calls in all SCI32 Mac scripts, so this is a complete list of who uses what outstanding operations: | |||
* KQ7 does custom saving and restoring with subops 3, 4, and 5 to initiate, save, and restore files. Initiate is called when starting a new game. Initiate and Restore would display a native Mac save or open dialog with a hard-coded and misspelled prompt such as "Who's game?". The interpreter would remember the current save file, not the game scripts. These subops take no parameters. | |||
* Shivers also does custom saving and restoring with subops 3, 4, and 5 but they take parameters similar to the normal kSave and kRestore functions. It appears the interpreter is no longer in charge of tracking the current save file. | |||
* Lighthouse also does custom saving and restoring but just for fun it only uses subop 3 but adds a sub-subop parameter for the three operations. It appears that -1 initializes, 1 saves, and 0 restores. | |||
* Mother Goose uses subops 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 for saving and restoring. This includes delete functionality. These subops take parameters similar to kSave and kRestore. | |||
* Phantasmagoria sets the music volume from the control panel with subop 12 and passes a volume parameter between 0 and 15. | |||
