Yay! The color palette is FIXEDÂ once and for all! No more radioactive green snot on every object and champion and door and what not! The GUI looks fabulous with it’s newfound colours, it’s just so much more pleasant to click on it now.
Now, the original game uses copper to stretch those few colours the Amiga platform could offer at any given moment and given that ScummVM has no support for something like that (and why would it?) I shied away from even coming close to trying to fix it. Now as the end is nigh, it had to be fixed, and so it was! Phase one, double the palette and offset the pixel colours. Phase two ???. Phase three, profit!
Relatedly the engine is almost complete. What’s missing is correcting some display functions, hunting down a few annoying bugs and making sure the game can be finished and then all will be well. The later, so I gather, is not yet achievable. The fluxcages spawned to trap Mr Chaos cannot be seen, because the function drawing them is missing, and that particular function happens to be in assembly (… ehh) and so I can’t really test if anything is happening at all, gonna have to make it draw some dummy image.
As always, here’s a nice GIF, basking in it glory:
