Another week spent on working on WAGE and I am getting closer to finishing up.<\/p>\n
Continuing the issue with the font from last week, we decided to just hardcode the correct font as the game might have been using a different version of the engine with different behavior.<\/p>\n
After that I worked on implementing the about screen. Different games do different font types, sizes, alignment, etc. so I just went with a general center aligned screen. It took some time to get the alignment working properly but I managed to do that.<\/p>\n
There were a bunch of game specific bugs left to deal with, 24 to be exact so I started working on them one by one. There wasn’t much in terms of how I solved them and the process was to just set some breakpoints in places related to the bug and see what’s going wrong.<\/p>\n
To fix them I had to implement some game specific fixes but I think it’s the only way as they all might have used a slightly different version of the engine.<\/p>\n
The only notable task from these fixes was to add more resolution options to WAGE. Originally it was hardcoded to run at 512×342 but now it also supports 800×600 and 1024×768. This was necessary to support some games which needed larger windows.<\/p>\n
Currently there are 13 tasks left and most of them fall under the category of “Ignored bytes while rendering” and “Unhandled comparisons while executing the script”. I don’t have a good idea of why these are caused but so far I haven’t found any difference in the behavior in the Original vs ScummVM so they might be harmless after all. I’ll look more into them and that should be the last I have to do.<\/p>\n
