Looking through the automatically converted sources (made with PtoC) and adding the standard header to the files (with the awesome help of License Header Manager for Visual Studio) and a namespace for my engine took up most of my Monday. Luckily, I am a bit more familiar with Git by now, so using it didn't cause me any troubles.
My plan is now to make the converted sources more readable using Artistic Style, then add an empty engine to my work and hook it into ScummVM. You can read more about the procedure here. (And I hope soon here, in my blog as well when I am finished with it.)
There is still the problem of the missing ROOMNUMS.INC, but I think we'll be able to get through it, thanks to this great wiki the original author made himself to help the porters. (Especially with the help of this page.)
By the way, if you are interested in my work and would like to follow it a little closer, you can find my repository on GitHub, where I "commit early, commit often."
Great to see you've made a good start!
ReplyDeleteI've been combing through the sources, and I've made a first guess at the room number constants that were missing from the file ROOMNUMS.INC. I've checked it into the "extras" directory of my Avalot repository on github.
I'm glad you're finding the wiki useful! If you need anything further explained, please do let me know.
Happy hacking!
OMG! Thank you very much for your incredible amount of help!
DeleteThe wiki was already crucial at my understanding of your code, and every bit of information you wish to share with me is still very welcome!
Of course I'll ask you if something isn't clear.
Thank you again! :)
