SengokuRanceFont.DLL falls back to MS Gothic for characters whose glyphs
are absent from the FNL font. Reproduce this behavior to enable Japanese
translations of mods based on the MangaGamer release of Sengoku Rance.
Add an HLL-local composite font that wraps each selected FNL font_size
together with a FreeType Gothic font_size. The composite font checks for
each glyph in the FNL font and delegates rendering and size to Gothic
when the glyph is missing.
Scale fallback glyphs down and adjust their vertical position so that
they align with the FNL text line.
Move alpha_clipper_parts_no into inherited part parameters so child
parts use their parent's clipper unless they explicitly override it.
Bump the save version to 7.
parts_release detached children without marking them dirty, leaving
them with global parameters inherited from the released parent.
Furthermore, parts_update_component skipped global parameter updates
for parentless parts.
Mark orphaned children dirty and combine parentless parts against the
root parameters.
Offset the sprite so that the origin matches the anchor selected by the
graphic key's align field. Use the source rectangle dimensions when an
area is specified, and the full texture dimensions otherwise.
Serialize the SealEngine plugin bound to the component. Instances now
remember the name so referenced assets can be reloaded.
Bump the parts save format version to 6.
Blade Briders inserts three layer functions at func_id 3-5 into the
assignment used by Rance9, shifting all subsequent func_ids up by three.
Evenicle uses the same assignment as Blade Briders.
Use this assignment internally and add three to Rance9 func_ids before
dispatch. Also implement the functions 3-5.
In SealEngine, the frame images of a billboard instance are PNG files in
the archive, named "<name>\<basename>.png", "<name>\<basename>[1].png"
and so on, and the motion frame number is the index into them.
This also changes the lifetime management for billboard motions. A
billboard's motion holds the frame animation state of the instance,
which the game sets up before calling Load, so keep it across loads
and free it in free_instance.
Store the four billboard vertex positions and UVs in each RE_instance
and use them for regular billboard rendering. The static billboard mesh
is kept for billboard particles.
Long overdue fix for this effect, which is heavily used in Sengoku
Rance. The origin for the grid is now properly at the center of the
screen, as in the original engine.
This is the same as EFFECT_VWAVE_CROSSFADE, except with a different
maximum amplitude and the screen scrolls vertically.
(Used in Rance 9 when transitioning to a flashback scene.)
Improve the math in this effect so that it matches Alicesoft's
implementation. This is almost a pixel-perfect recreation of the effect.
The only difference is that our waves are rendered with a smoother edge.
Add a game-specific hack to mitigate poor performance when performing
certain UI operations in Rance 9.
Without this hack, the game creates an array of 990000 entries and then
calls Array.Find on it whenever it acquires or releases a parts number.
This was especially painful in debug builds, where the game would freeze
for 1-2 seconds when switching to the items screen for example.
The hack replaces the Array.Find calls with arithmetic.
The returned integer array contains p->delegate_index, not p->no.
I don't think this caused any bugs, because the game code rejects
returned indices that are > the delegate array length, and the delegate
index appears to always be -1 when this function is called.
Fixes an issue in English version of Rance 9 where item description text
was overly compressed. Now ChipmunkSpriteEngine.SP_GetFontWidth returns
the same values as the official engine.
There are still text layout bugs with item descriptions in Rance 9
(affecting both JP and EN versions), but this at least makes the text
readable.
On Windows RAND_MAX is 0x7fff, which makes Rand() and RandF() far too
coarse. Use mt19937 instead so that seeded sequences reproduce the
original engine's behavior.
Text lines are saved individually without newlines. Insert an explicit
newline between lines on load so the original line structure is
restored. Also free the strings read from the save data.
Rance 9's AFA archives have no ID field, so asset IDs are sequential
indices local to each archive. When the game loads an additional CG
archive, the ID spaces overlap: a name resolved to an ID against the
base archive later fetches a different CG from the additional archive.
Keep the CG name instead.
Bumps the save version to 5; version 4 and earlier saves still store IDs
and are converted on load.
AFAFactory.LoadArchive passed the SJIS archive name straight through, so
the extra assets loaded by the Rance 9 v2.00 patch were never found.
Move the path resolution out of CGManager.LoadArchive so that both
callers share it.
