- engine-debug-tools/: a debug dump hotkey + dump2png to inspect
decoded critter frames independent of the renderer (see root
README.md's "Debugging" section).
- engine-patches/04,05: fix critter sprite scale and an OpenGL
texture cache collision, found using that tooling.
- mdlp: fix encodeFrames RLE-diffing upscaled frames against a
previous-frame reference the real RSD8 decoder never implements
(verified against Night Dive's original Mac source down to the
68K assembly) - was rendering as scattered static in-game.
- Upscale pipeline: better color quantization (dithering, pure-ramp
exclusion) and per-resource model selection.
- patchelf gl4es's embedded SONAME to libGL.so so AGP's jniLibs packaging
(which drops any file not literally named "*.so") and the dynamic
linker's NEEDED-entry resolution (by embedded SONAME, not filename)
finally agree - fixes the "library \"libGL.so.1\" not found" crash seen
on real Quest hardware.
- QuestShockActivity now checks that res/data and res/sound exist before
starting the native engine, showing an explanatory dialog instead of
crashing on init_popups' unchecked NULL resource load when a fresh
install has no game data copied in yet.
- dist/questshock-<version>-android-arm64.apk is now versioned from the
same git-tag-or-dev-placeholder scheme as the desktop tarball
(build-image/version.sh, shared by both via the Makefile and
build-apk.sh).
- build-image/prepare-android-project.sh (prep logic extracted out of
build-apk.sh) can now stage android/ for a native build directly in
Android Studio (--host-paths), exporting the prebuilt SDL2/SDL2_mixer/
fluidsynth-lite/gl4es libraries and writing host-resolvable paths,
instead of only ever building inside the Docker image.
- Corrected GET_ASSETS.txt/GET_ASSETS_QUEST.txt, which wrongly described
merging res/pc/hd and res/pc/cdrom trees out of the raw installer's
sshock.kpf - an already-installed copy's res/data res/sound can just
be copied directly, with extract_assets.sh only needed from the raw
installer.
dependency (SDL2, SDL2_mixer, fluidsynth-lite, a MIDI soundfont)
prebuilt, so compiling the engine needs no network access - just the
image and the engine source. Add res/assets/extract_assets.sh to pull
the game's data files out of a purchased GOG installer, and a Makefile
that assembles a runnable dist/ from the two.
Also add `make package`, which builds a redistributable tarball that
omits the proprietary game assets (shipping res/GET_ASSETS.txt instead)
plus license information for both the MIT tooling and the GPLv3 engine,
and a Gitea Actions workflow that builds and publishes it to
dl.ladkau.de on every push.
