|
|
Modern Jedi engine reimplementation by Lucius Dark, supporting LucasArts
|
|
Dark Forces (shipping) and Outlaws (in-progress).
|
|
|
|
TFE itself bundles the engine data under TheForceEngine/ in the source tree,
|
|
which batocera.ports/theforceengine.mk rsyncs to
|
|
/usr/share/batocera/datainit/system/configs/theforceengine/ on install:
|
|
Captions/ Documentation/ ExternalData/ Fonts/
|
|
Mods/ Shaders/ SoundFonts/ UI_Text/ UI_Images/
|
|
|
|
The user is expected to supply the retail game data. Dark Forces is probed
|
|
by checking for DARK.GOB in the configured source-data path
|
|
(TheForceEngine/main.cpp:484-485, with PATH_SOURCE_DATA from TFE_Paths).
|
|
|
|
Dark Forces loader list (TFE_DarkForces/darkForcesMain.cpp:70-83):
|
|
c_gobFileNames[] = DARK.GOB, SOUNDS.GOB, TEXTURES.GOB, SPRITES.GOB
|
|
c_optionalGobFileNames[] = enhanced.gob
|
|
The DOS retail Dark Forces floppy and CD both ship DARK.GOB, SOUNDS.GOB,
|
|
TEXTURES.GOB, SPRITES.GOB; enhanced.gob is the TFE-only HD asset pack.
|
|
|
|
Dark Forces official patch v1.22 (df_patch4) is pulled by the build script as
|
|
df_patch4.zip from df-21.net and dropped under Mods/, so the engine applies
|
|
the retail v1.22 patches on top of any user retail install (THEFORCEENGINE_
|
|
PATCH_SOURCE in the batocera mk). The patch itself is bundled with the
|
|
emulator, not with the retail data.
|
|
|
|
Outlaws: every method of TFE_Outlaws/outlawsMain.cpp is a stub and
|
|
runGame() returns false. The only Outlaws file the code names is
|
|
Outlaws.lab, tested by the settings dialog before it stores the Outlaws
|
|
source path (TFE_FrontEndUI/frontEndUi.cpp:1340); the line that would
|
|
make it the active source path is commented out (:1344).
