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.
The 'tainted' area of a Bitmap describes what parts are no
longer in a 'cleared' state. When we blit to a fully cleared
are of a Bitmap at full opacity, we can completely disregard
the existing pixels in the operation, meaning we can skip any
blending calculations and just blit / upload straight to the
texture. This greatly speeds up text message rendering.
In the process, pixman has become a new dependency for mkxp,
but the results of this optimization are well worth it!
