Director: New week – new challenge

And once again I’m writing about my GSOC progress.

This week:

  • Loading transition info and implementation of some movings (8/52).
  • Imitation 2 track sound system (such as in Director).
  • Rendering trail sprites (it works like background images)
  • Parsing new kind of scripts  – movie scripts.

Speaking of scripts,  there is a work on the Lingo compiler by sev.  There is, at present execution some media interface commands like play part of sound files and the processing of alias map. Also put/set commands have been added.

Were reviewed, Director ‘go to movie (label)‘ commands. In many games this is main command, with this you can simulate  walking across levels. But this transition using special name of movie, and because of that movie loading was redesigned.

I know I promised to show The Journeyman Project movie files. But right palette still got trouble.

Specifically for this post, I’ve copied in my local code, palette, which contuinity uses as fallback. And some of JMP movies seems more or less pretty.
