Every cited block was read again at HEAD: no ref left to review, no file name or hash literal added to a cited file since the pin (--detect-new-files --watch-hashes), refs recaled with their pins. Profiles built by a platform at a fixed commit, or whose bump would leave prose under an older pin, stay where they were.

C++ reimplementation of the SMBX 1.3 engine. The engine itself ships
|
|
no game assets. Asset packs are searched at startup under every root
|
|
of AppPathManager::assetsSearchPath(): the root itself (legacy
|
|
layout), then each directory or archive of its assets/ folder.
|
|
ref: src/main/asset_pack.cpp:249-378 (s_find_asset_packs),
|
|
lib/AppPath/private/app_path.cpp:135-181
|
|
|
|
A directory is scanned when it carries graphics/ui/, an archive when
|
|
it carries _meta.ini. Two descriptors are recognized:
|
|
_meta.ini archive pack ([content] engine "TheXTech", platform
|
|
matching the running target, pack-id)
|
|
gameinfo.ini directory pack ([game] id, menu images under
|
|
[android])
|
|
A pack under assets/ is ignored when no id could be read, while the legacy
|
|
root pack needs none.
|
|
ref: src/main/asset_pack.cpp:125-207, 334-339
|
|
|
|
The pack-selection menu loads an icon, a logo and a background. Only
|
|
the logo is checked: without it the pack is ignored ("Could not load
|
|
UI assets from possible asset pack").
|
|
ref: src/main/asset_pack.cpp:115-117, 225-233, 282-283
|
|
|
|
The selected pack is then loaded by GFX_t::load, which fails when one
|
|
of the UI images it requires from graphics/ui/ is missing.
|
|
ref: src/gfx.cpp:121-229, src/main/asset_pack.cpp:415-438
|
|
|
|
TheXTech is content-agnostic. The reference packs that TheXTech
|
|
releases alongside the engine are the SMBX 1.3 asset pack
|
|
(`thextech-assets-smbx13`) and the free Adventures of Demo pack
|
|
(`thextech-assets-adventures-of-demo`). Any pack that satisfies the
|
|
structure above runs.
|
|
|
|
Paths below are written from a search root. TheXTech/ is the name the
|
|
build gives its user directory (THEXTECH_DIRECTORY_PREFIX) and its
|
|
system directory, and the application directory is searched the same way.
