More accurate behavior, such as Font objects properly inheriting
their name attributes, and centralization of code for picking
the first existing name from a passed string array.
Also centralizes initial default_name population in core.
Note: This currently breaks the mruby binding build.
Assuming that there is enough memory for mkxp to stay in the
background and that the OS doesn't kill the process, this should
allow smooth resuming after moving back into the foreground.
For now, EGL context loss is not handled.
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.
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.
Previously, any font names requested by RGSS would be translated
directly to filenames by lowercasing and replacing spaces with
underscores (and finally doing some extension substitution).
To make this whole thing work smoother as well as get closer to
how font discovery is done in VX, we now scan the "Fonts/" folder
at startup and index all present font assets by their family name;
now, if an "Open Sans" font is present in "Fonts/", it will be
used regardless of filename.
Font assets with "Regular" style are preferred, but in their
absence, mkxp will make use of any other style it can find for
the respective family. This is not the exact same behavior as
VX, but it should cover 95% of use cases.
Previously, one could substitute fonts via filenames, ie. to
substitute "Arial" with "Open Sans", one would just rename
"OpenSans.ttf" to "arial.ttf" and put it in "Fonts/". With the
above change, this is no longer possible. As an alternative, one
can now explicitly specify font family substitutions via mkxp.conf;
eg. for the above case, one would add
fontSub=Arial>Open Sans
to the configuration file. Multiple such rules can be specified.
In the process, I also added the ability to provide
'Font.(default_)name' with an array of font families to search
for the first existing one instead of a plain string.
This makes the behavior closer to RMXP; however, it doesn't
work 100% the same: when a reference to the 'Font.name' array is
held and additional strings are added to it without re-assignig
the array to 'Font.name', those will be ignored.
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!
An exception is made of TexPool, which will need a
bit more testing before transitioning to std containers.
Also replace 'int' with 'size_t' where it is used only
as an array index.
Releasing a Tilemap atlas into the pool on every map switch
will blow out tons of smaller textures for very little gain,
as atlas textures are already pretty much impossible to
recycle anywhere but in new Tilemaps.
