BUILDING ZIP/EZIP/XZIP UNDER MPW
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Compiling, assembling and linking an interpreter and its resources
|
|
is now automated by the Workshop's MAKE function. There are several things
|
|
that still must be done manually to make a shippable disk.
|
|
|
|
1. Installation of a Font (XZIP only)
|
|
|
|
(a) A font resource id is related to its family id by a formula
|
|
which can be found buried in the chapter on fonts in IM:
|
|
|
|
resid = (128 * famid) + size
|
|
|
|
For example, in BZ I picked 8 as the family id of the custom font
|
|
and defined its size as 9-point, so the resource id will be 1033.
|
|
|
|
(b) After a custom font is produced with a font editor (in the
|
|
case of BZ, by munging a copy of the Monaco font), it should be given
|
|
a distinctive id and name (the public domain editor used for BZ,
|
|
FontEdit, doesn't provide for this). I used Apple's ResEdit:
|
|
|
|
[] at FOND, do "get info", change id 4 -> 8
|
|
[] open FOND, change "family id" 4 -> 8 and "res id" 521 -> 1033
|
|
[] at FONT, do "get info", change "res id" as before, and change
|
|
"name" to "BZ Font" or whatever.
|
|
|
|
(c) Finally, use ResEdit to copy, then paste the font into the game
|
|
resource file. (The MPW DeRez utility can be run to put the font data
|
|
into an archivable source format.)
|
|
|
|
2. Signaturization
|
|
|
|
Hancock currently expects to find /3/ instances of the creator
|
|
string ("INFO") in the game resource fork, but the count under MPW seems
|
|
to have increased to /5/. To prevent Hancock from aborting and failing
|
|
(pending a new search strategy), I just patch the first 2 instances
|
|
by hand using FEdit (before running Hancock).
|
|
|
|
3. Finder bits
|
|
|
|
The "bundle bit" must be SET in order for desktop restores to work
|
|
correctly (i.e. clicking on a save file to load it). Under the old
|
|
Lisa workshop it was set by MacCom when the interpreter was moved to a
|
|
Mac disk. Currently I set it with FEdit. Probably there's a better
|
|
way to accomplish this under MPW.
