CGA v1 patch

comment:1 by sev-, 20 years ago

This is v1 of the patch.

It implements CGA rendering as in loom and monkeyega.

You can select CGA rendering either on Graphics/Gfx tab in launcher or specify it with --render-mode=[cga|ega|herc].

Herc worked in: maniac v1 maniac v2 zak v1 zak v2 monkeyega

CGA worked in: maniac v1 maniac v2 zak v1 zak v2 monkeyega loom indy3

EGA worked in (for VGA games): loomcd monkey2 atlantis

Herc and CGA settings have no effect now. CGA affects only 16 color games as it is where it was supported in originals though dithering routine was checked with monkeyega and loom. In Zak & MM it is definitely different

This lacks documentation in the README, but otherwise seems fine.

Might want to turn the "cgaDither" array const, but that's totally unimportant, of course :-)

BTW, at least the atari version of Indy3 was also playable in 640x400 black&white.
