[12:38] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> As an early start to this week's Screenshot Friday, a screenshot from the ending of Return of the Phantom. Not only has my recent work at supporting the game been merged into master at the beginning of the week, but it is now officially completable, with the first playthrough just finished. 🎉
[12:38] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> So what comes next? Gameplay wise, there's still some polishing needed for the sound/speech code. Plus, there's an outstanding bug where sprites are drawn on top of on-screen conversation dialogs when they should be clipped. But apart from that, the gameplay should be pretty robust.. I fixed a variety of display bugs and crashes as I did my play-through, so I'm hopeful that it's resulted in a pretty solid engine core.
[12:38] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> Apart from that, there are still two main areas of work remaining. Firstly is the game's menus, including the difficulty menu, and the original save/load dialogs. In my playthrough I exclusively used GMM save/loads, so the dialogs still need work. Secondly, there seems to have been some new functionalities added to the animation viewer used for the intro cutscene. When I tried playing it using the Rex Nebular animation viewer it m
[12:38] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> It'll be great after all these years, and with the later M4 games already supported, to finally see the list of games supported by the earlier MADS engine expanding.

[21:19] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> Nothing particularly cool. There's a whole internal debugger that could be enabled by entering the sequence "WIDEPIPE". It contains a whole bunch of keys that I may spend a bit of time enabling, just in case for any future historical interest. The engine itself also has a bunch of placeholder functions that aren't connected to anywhere, for things like shaking the screen and other effects. Though it's possible that these may be us
[21:19] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> The sprite system was an interesting implementation. Basically, all the sprite drawing functions shared much of their structure in common, just with extra bits added here and there. Such as for versions with depth checking would have lines to check a pixel for depth before being drawn. Or for scaling, figuring out a translation of x/y looping to drawing extra/less pixels. Rather than have a single drawing function, they have about
[21:20] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> From a programming perspective, it was also kind of cool to see the similarities and differences between MADS and M4. I can see why, back in the early days when I first joined, there was an attempt made to try and join MADS and M4 together. Of course, there are enough differences that I can also see how it would have ended up being a mess of special MADS vs M4 use cases throughout the entire engine, even if the work succeeded. It'
[21:30] <grogbot_> [discord] <dreammaster> The sound driver was, once again, pretty annoying. As with Rex Nebular, the game comes with about 7 sound drivers, one for each block/section of rooms in the game. And each driver contains embedded code for playing back the music, using direct port access, and custom data. And one set for each supported sound card. In this case, I decided to cheat, and threw everything into the Claude AI to see what it could make of it. The result

[21:45] <grogbot_> [discord] <Digitall> @dreammaster If not aware, MADSv2 has a large bunch of GCC Compiler Warnings from me with current master... I can provide some if you wish, but will see if I can fix some
[21:46] <grogbot_> [discord] <godelite_> I don't know how to do that sorry. The github for that VoiceMod does mention the bug, so that "developer" is aware of it. The game itself has no bugs, just when you add the VoiceMod then it creates a SaveGame bug where if you save the game and then restore it, the speech bubbles dissappear.
