In SCI3, Sierra removed the ability of the main renderer to
automatically scale CelObjs with different source resolutions.
Instead, in SCI3, all CelObjs are treated as having the same
resolution as the screen (i.e. 640x480).
In all SCI3 games other than RAMA, keeping the code paths for
resolution-dependent scaling is not a problem because all the
assets and game code are correctly designed to use the same
640x480 resolution throughout. RAMA, on the other hand, was
written with the text subsystem set to a resolution of 630x450
(Phant1's screen resolution), and in SSCI, resolution-dependent
scaling code was not removed from the *text* subsystem. As a
result, RAMA's game scripts rely on the slightly larger scaled
dimensions coming out of the text system when determining the size
of screen items for rendering, and then also rely on the main
renderer ignoring the 630x450 resolution baked into the bitmaps
generated by the text subsystem when drawing them to the screen.

Was a game bug, finally fixed.
This was a combined effort of wjp and myself. Thanks to wjp.
We both don't own QfG2 1.000 atm, so we could not try it for that
version.

This file normally stores brightness, music volume, and most
recently used save game directory. Since we store the music volume
ourselves and don't use the save game directory, the only
potentially useful information is the brightness level, and that
is fine to just restore from the save games.

Basic keyup event support appears to have been added in the SCI1.1
IBM keyboard driver, and more robust support was provided in SCI32
which actually gets used by at least Lighthouse. This patch adds
support for keyup events in SCI1.1+.
Fixes Trac#10242.

Convert macros and vars to enums, rename keyboard events in
preparation for adding key up events, clean up unnecessary nested
conditionals, add TODOs for potential future work.

When in Galaxy Galleria, going into the software store and trying
to shoplift the SQ4 Hintbook will crash the game after you leave
and are electrocuted.
Fixes Trac#10229. Closes gh-1031.

Trying to find differences in Lighthouse's audio sample playback,
I discovered that SCI3 had its own variant of handling volumes and
sending this volume information back to game scripts. It is not
known if this fixes any sound bug.

This subop is used only by RAMA.
The VMD objects in RAMA's game code contain a frame rate field,
which is usually -1, but occasionally is not. In the cases where
it is not -1, it appears to be either set for a video with sound
(so the value doesn't do anything to that video), or it is just
resetting back to the baked-in frame rate of the video file (so
it doesn't need to exist, except to fix videos broken by earlier
played videos with explicit frame rates).
Since this is a global state flag that does not get reset in SSCI,
the ultimate effect of kPlayVMDSetFrameRate in RAMA is that it does
nothing to any of the videos where the explicit frame rate is set,
but it does inadvertently cause *other* videos with no sound and no
explicit frame rate to have a different frame rate depending upon
what was played earlier in the game (and whether or not the engine
was restarted in the meantime).
This bad transferring of frame rates is most noticeable with the
exit-video of the vidmail player, which is played when you back out
after selecting a vidmail. Its nominal framerate is 10fps, but it
will play at whatever frame rate was last set by some other video
that happened to have an explicit frame rate, even if that frame
rate was bogus.
So, just ignore all calls to this subop, as it is fatally buggy.

This code is currently untestable and is almost certainly at least
partly based on guesswork & not actual reverse-engineering (as was
the case for all other pre-2015 SCI32 code), so future developers
interested in adding SCI32 Mac support should use it only as an
intermediate reference rather than as known good code.

There seems to be no difference between DOS and Windows versions
of the game from what I could see in the game code (it checks
platform but only seems to just set a global which is never used),
and from what I could tell online they are all DOS/Windows hybrids,
so just simplify life and make them all DOS platform versions.

Near the end of the game, RAMA will start trying to store some
invalid references. This does not affect the save game negatively
in any way, but it was causing the kernel to assert a signature
failure.

This is used by RAMA in room 6201, after eating the alien fruit.

Despite what game script disassembly lead me to believe, the game
seems to create only one auto-save, which ends up being saved as
911.sg (not autorama.sg). This save file is created just before
entering the underground Avian Lair in New York, and seems to be
designed as some emergency backup since entering the Avian Lair is
a one-way trip.

Used by RAMA, in various places, starting with the refrigerator
at base camp after the cable car at the beginning of the game.

Which were originally only played, when using the Windows interpreter.
Afaik the DOS interpreter was incapable of playing more than 1
sample at a time, which was probably the reason why Sierra only
added these for the Windows interpreter.
For example a sample is now played, when points are awarded.
Those samples are currently used all the time and will also
enhance the game, when platform DOS is chosen.
In case someone wishes to opt-out of this, we could add a game
specific option.
We do something like this for Space Quest 3 already,
that's why I don't see a reason to add a game option right now.

In a couple of places, Lighthouse updates the renderer with screen
items for the next room before the room transition video plays.
This is normally fine when using the compositing video renderer
because the videos are drawn into new planes which occlude the
screen items, so the screen items are culled from the draw list
and do not submit their palettes. However, when in HQ video mode,
we currently force the overlay renderer, which was not blocking
screen items before forcing a frameOut, so the screen items'
palettes got submitted prematurely in this case and caused bad
rendering after the video finished playback.
Now, if we are forcing into the overlay code path, we still create
a blank plane behind the overlay before the forced frameOut in
order to correctly occlude screen items and keep them from
participating in rendering before they normally would.
Fixes Trac#10233, Trac#10235.

Previously, notifying bots to the end of a speech fragment was
done in ~TTtalker. Which caused problems when in progress talkers
were freed when exiting the game with a speech was in progress,
since it would try to start the next following speech fragment.
