-Wintermute Engine - Copyright (c) 2011 Jan Nedoma
-ScummVM port by Einar Johan Trøan Sømåen (somaen)
-
-***************************
-*** General information ***
-***************************
-The Wintermute Engine is a game engine mainly aimed at creating adventure
-games, it supports both 3D, 2.5D, 2D and First-Person games, and has numerous
-games both free, open-source and commercial created with it. This port was
-created by somaen as part of Google Summer of Code 2012.
-
-****************
-*** Features ***
-****************
-This port of the Wintermute Engine (WME) is based on WME Lite, which lacks the following functionality
-originally found in WME: (from http://res.dead-code.org/doku.php/wmelite:start)
-
-The following features of WME 1.x are NOT supported by WME Lite:
-* 3D characters. WME Lite only supports 2D games.
-* Sprite frame mirroring.
-* Sprite rotations.
-* Sprite blending modes.
-* Video playback.
-* Plugins.
-* Calling external functions from DLL libraries from scripts.
-* Game Explorer support.
-* 'Directory' script object.
-
-This port does reimplement a few of these features, currently:
-* Sprite frame mirroring - WORKS.
-* Video playback - Theora PARTIALLY WORKING. (Slow, and doesn't support seeking)
-
-In addition, this port removes a few additional features that were never/rarely used:
-* 'File' script object - ScummVM doesn't have any easy way to write/read arbitrary files.
-* Debugger/Compiler - weren't properly accessible in WME Lite anyhow.
-* CD-numbering support in .dcp-files - was never used.
-* 'SaveDirectory'-property of 'Game' will not return anything usefull to the game-scripts (saving is handled through SaveFileMan)
-
-*******************************
-*** Additional limitations: ***
-*******************************
-* Only .OGG and RAW-.WAV sounds are supported at this point
-* TTF-fonts might behave a bit differently, owing to both the change to FreeType in WME Lite
-    and the change in dpi in this port of WME.
-* The window-caption-setting in-game will be ignored, for the sake of concistency with ScummVM.
-* Most VKey-combinations might still be missing (as they already were in WME Lite)
-* Since we don't use FreeImage, some games might use odd files that weren't expected when the 
-    image-decoders in ScummVM were written. One example here is interlaced-PNGs.
-* UTF8-support is not ported, which means only games with western charsets will work for now.
-* Games that select language by moving .dcp-files around still need a bit more handling on detection/load
-    adding support for those languages on a language-by-language basis.
-* Most games assume the availability of the Windows-fonts (particularly arial.ttf)
-    at this point no fallback has been put in place for using FreeFonts as replacements,
-	simply for lack of having them easily accessible to the engines at this point. So, at least
-	arial.ttf should be put in either the game-folder or made available through the extras-folder
-	for now, otherwise kGUIBigFont will be used as a replacement.
-

-*********************************
-*** Advanced engine-features: ***
-*********************************
-At this point the engine implements the following "advanced engine features":
-* RTL ("Return to Launcher") support
-* Global options dialog support
-* Listing savestates via command line or Launcher
-* Loading savestates via command line or Launcher
-* Deleting savestates via the Launcher and GMM
-* Savestate metadata support
-* Loading/Saving during run time
-
-and NOT the following:
-* Enhanced debug/error messages
-
-*****************
-*** Detection ***
-*****************
-Since Wintermute has authoring tools available, there will at any point in
-time be atleast a few games that are works-in-progress, and as the authors
-of these games might want to test their games in ScummVM, the engine has
-to be able to detect arbitrary Wintermute-games, to this end the detector
-code in this engine will check any folder containing "data.dcp", and try to
-read "startup.settings" and "default.game" (or optionally any other .game-file
-defined in startup.settings), the Name/Caption fields in the .game-file will
-be used as gameid/title (prefixing the gameid with "wmefan-" to avoid confusion
-with any other WME game that might happen to have taken that id.
-
-All COMPLETED games should have their md5s and gameid's properly added, IFF
-they don't require 3D. 
-
-3D games may also be added, for the purpose of giving the user feedback
-as to why their game won't run, but at this point, any such MD5 should
-be added as a comment only, to avoid confusion, as no mechanism for giving
-the user feedback about 3D-games not being supported is currently added.
-
-*************************************
-*** Games targeted by the engine: ***
-*************************************
-This engine potentially targets a very large amount of games:
-http://res.dead-code.org/doku.php/games:start
-
-Since the feature-set of WME Lite differs from that of the full Wintermute Engine,
-games will need to be targeted on a case-by-case, feature-by-feature basis, this is
-a list of the games that are currently known to work (although perhaps with minor
-issues) through to completion:
-
-* Dirty Split (dirtysplit)
-* the white chamber (twc)
-* Chivalry is NOT dead (chivalry)
-* Rosemary (rosemary)
-* The Box (thebox)
-* J.U.L.I.A. (Demo) (julia)
-* Pigeons in the park (pigeons)
-
-Untested, but starts:
-* East Side Story (Demo) (eastside)
-* Actual Destination (actualdest)
-* Ghost in the sheet (ghostsheet)
-
-********************************
-*** Games with known issues: ***
-********************************
-Certain games will work mostly fine with this engine, but can still
-be impossible to complete for various reasons, this is a list of games
-that technically qualify (as in they do not require the 3D-parts of the engine)
-but have issues that make them problematic or not completable:
-
-Won't start:
-* Five Lethal Demons (5ld) - Requires support for interlaced PNGs
-* Five Magical Amulets (5ma) - Requires support for interlaced PNGs
-* Kulivoeko - Requires support for interlaced PNGs
-* Reversion (reversion) - Requires support for Non-V1.1 JPEGs and interlaced PNGs
-* Mirage (mirage) - Tries to seek in a vorbis-stream inside a ZipStream
-* Hamlet or the last game without MMORPS features, shaders and product placement (hamlet)
-    - Requires support for interlaced PNGs
-
-Gameplay broken:
-* J.U.L.I.A. (Full game) (julia) - Requires sprite-rotation for a puzzle.
-
-Non-critical:
-* Ghost in the sheet (ghostsheet) - uses Non-V1.1-JPEGs
-* East Side Story (eastside) - wants "framd.ttf"
-
-*****************************
-*** General known issues: ***
-*****************************
-
-Mostly a TODO-section, to not forget fixing outstanding general issues:
-* Save/Load-screens are not shown during save/load
-    this is probably a result of reducing the amount of redrawing done
-	during save/load, and I'm not sure it should be put back, if that means
-	making saves slower again.
-* Font-sizes are wrong enough to allow Dirty Split to draw text that is hidden in
-    the original game (most visible on the coin-interface)
-* Alpha-masks for Theora-videos are broken on big-endian platforms
-
