This removes the static dependency on fluidsynth being present
at buildtime (even headers aren't needed anymore).
Even though midi is a default format for the RPG XP/VX series,
it has fallen more and more out of use, with VX Ace completely
abandoning it from the RTP and making ogg vorbis the de facto
standard. Midi support is kept for legacy reasons, but isn't
encouraged. On top of all this, fluidsynth together with glib
is a heavy dependency that often times won't even be used.
Making it optional at build time is an attempt to unify and
keep build config fragmentation low.
In RGSS3, fluidsynth / midi is not initialized at all by
default, but rather on demand when either a midi track is
played back or Audio.setup_midi is called.
Setup active RGSS version at runtime. Desired version can be
specified via config, or as default, auto detected from the game
files. This removes the need to build specifically for each
version, which should help packaging a lot.
This also greatly reduces the danger of introducing code that
wouldn't compile on all RGSS version paths (as certain code paths
were completely ifdef'd out).
This can be optimized more, eg. not compiling shaders that aren't
needed in the active version.
Removes the need to manually convert the Game.ini to UTF-8 every
time with eg. Japanese games. Also, setting the window title on
OSX with invalid UTF-8 crashes.
This functionality and the dependency on libiconv and libguess
are optional and can be enabled with `CONFIG+=INI_ENCODING`.
If turned off and invalid UTF-8 is encountered, the game title
is treated as being empty (ie. the folder name is used instead).
This adds a new dependency with libfuildsynth. MIDI support
is built by default, but can be disabled if not desired.
All RTP songs should work well, but there are known problems
with other files (see README). Also, the pitch shift implementation
is somewhat poor and doesn't match RMXP (at least subjectively).
A soundfont is not included and must be provided by
the user themself.
GL entrypoint resolution is now done manually. This has a couple
immediate benefits, such as not having to retrieve hundreds of
functions pointers that we'll never use. It's also nice to have
an exact overview of all the entrypoints used by mkxp.
This change allows mkxp to run fine with core contexts, not sure
how relevant that is going to be in the future.
What's noteworthy is that _all_ entrypoints, even the ones core
in 1.1 and guaranteed to be in every libGL, are resolved
dynamically.
This has the added benefit of not having to link directly against
libGL anymore, which also cleans up the output of `ldd` quite
a bit (SDL2 loads most system deps dynamically at runtime).
GL headers are still required at build time.
Because Windows has case insensitive paths, this should
be turned on (which it is by default) for maximum
compatibility. Can be turned off as an optimization
(this will speed up startup a little depending on the
number of game assets).
This looks like a pretty major change, but in reality,
80% of it is just renames of types and corresponding
methods.
The config parsing code has been completely replaced
with a boost::program_options based version. This
means that the config file format slightly changed
(checkout the updated README).
I still expect there to be bugs / unforseen events.
Those should be fixed in follow up commits.
Also, finally reverted back to using pkg-config to
locate and link libruby. Yay for less hacks!
When using something like Valgrind that will run
mkxp 20 times slower than normal, frame skip will
make the redraw loop completely grind to a halt.
Set 'frameSkip' to false in the config to
avert this.
Making this an option makes no sense. It ought to
be the default behavior, as RMXP pitch shifts PCM
based audio files the exact same way.
This reverts commit ac35d4214e.
