1 Hack 日志

• 8月22日开始动手修改改vcmi（英雄无敌3的开源游戏引擎）的源码， 让它支持简体中文版的游戏数据。
• 8月25日，已经有一个可工作的修改版，但自己不满意。这个版本的原理是每次要显 示文本的时候，都用自己写的编码转换函数将字符串从GBK编码转为UTF8编码，从而 能正常地显示中文。但每次显式都转换，每秒游戏要10帧以上，每帧要显示的字符串 可以多达数十个，这样每秒要做数百次字符串转换，效率很低。虽然这样的计算量对 现代CPU来说不算啥，但心里觉得别扭。高效的做法应该是将游戏数据中的GBK编码的 字符串载入内存的时候只做一次编码转换，转换为UTF8编码。
• 这时开始置疑PC游戏相关工作的意义，所以工作中断了。
• 中断一个月后，觉得开始的事情没做完，心里别扭，就决定来个收场。于是9月27号， 开始做一个高效的修改。9月28日算大功告成。这个事可以告一段落了。

以下是对源码所做的修改，和怎么编译安装，当时用英文做的记录，懒得再翻译回中文了。

2 Changes

1. client/CMessage.cpp

   in function CMessage::breakText(), line 153

               // added by [email protected], 2013-08-28
               // If the text[z] is less than 0, it is the first byte of a UTF8 Chinese word.
   #ifdef ZH_CN
               else if (text[z] < 0){
                   z++;
                   z++;
                lineLength += graphics->fonts[font]->getSymbolWidth(text[z]);
               }
   #endif
   

2. client/gui/Fonts.cpp
   
   in function CTrueTypeFont::getStringWidth(), line 255

       // added by [email protected], 2013-08-28
       // If we are handling simplified chinese, it is a UTF8 string
   #ifdef ZH_CN
       TTF_SizeUTF8(font.get(), data.c_str(), &width, NULL);
   #else
       TTF_SizeText(font.get(), data.c_str(), &width, NULL);
   #endif
   

   in function CTrueTypeFont::renderText(), line 279

        if (blended)
               // added by [email protected], 2013-09-28 Sat
               // If we are handling simplified chinese game data, it is a UTF8 string
   #ifdef ZH_CN
            rendered = TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended(font.get(), data.c_str(), color);
   #else
            rendered = TTF_RenderText_Blended(font.get(), data.c_str(), color);
   #endif
        else
               // added by [email protected], 2013-09-28 Sat
               // If we are handling simplified chinese game data, it is a UTF8 string
   #ifdef ZH_CN
            rendered = TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid(font.get(), data.c_str(), color);
   #else
            rendered = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font.get(), data.c_str(), color);
   #endif
   

3. add lib/ConvertEncoding.cpp and lib/ConvertEncoding.h
   
   The content of ConvertEncoding.h is:

   char * convert_enc(char *src_enc, char *dest_enc, const char * src_string);
   

   The content of ConvertEncoding.cpp is:

   /*
    * ConvertEncoding.cpp, for vcmi using CJK(China/Japan/Korea) data.
    *
    * Authors: Wu Jiqing ([email protected])
    *
    * License: GNU General Public License v2.0 or later
    *
    */
   // added by jiqingwu([email protected])
   // 2013-09-27 Fri
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <iconv.h>
   #include <string.h>
   
   // added by [email protected], 2013-09-27 Fri
   char * convert_enc(char *src_enc, char *dest_enc, const char * src_string)
   {
   #define UTF8_STR_LEN 5000
   
       static char out_string[UTF8_STR_LEN], *sin, *sout;
       int  in_len, out_len, ret;
       iconv_t c_pt;
   
       if ((c_pt = iconv_open(dest_enc, src_enc)) == (iconv_t)-1)
       {
           printf("iconv open failed!\n");
           return NULL;
       }
       // iconv(c_pt, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
       in_len  = strlen(src_string) + 1;
       out_len = UTF8_STR_LEN;
       sin = (char *)src_string;
       sout = out_string;
       ret = iconv(c_pt, &sin, (size_t *)&in_len, &sout, (size_t *)&out_len);
       if (ret == -1)
       {
           return NULL;
       }
       iconv_close(c_pt);
       return out_string;
   }
   

   to link ConvertEncoding.o into library, add two lines into lib/CMakeLists.txt:

   set(lib_SRCS
           ...
           ConvertEncoding.cpp
   )
   
   set(lib_HEADERS
           ...
           ConvertEncoding.h
   )
   

4. lib/CGeneralTextHandler.cpp,
   
   To include "ConvertEncoding.h"

   // added by jiqingwu([email protected])
   // 2013-09-27 Fri
   #include "ConvertEncoding.h"
   

   in function CLegacyConfigParser::readString(), line 112

       // added by [email protected], 2013-09-27 Fri
       // convert gbk string to utf-8 string.
       // (For simplified Chinese game data, the string is GBK encoded)
   #ifdef ZH_CN
       char * utf8_str = convert_enc("GBK", "UTF8", ret.c_str());
       return std::string((const char*)utf8_str);
   #else
       return ret;
   #endif
   

5. lib/filesystem/CBinaryReader.cpp,
   
   to include "ConvertEncoding.h":

   // added by <[email protected]>, 2013-09-28 Sat
   #include "../ConvertEncoding.h"
   

   in function CBinaryReader::readString(), line 95

       // added by [email protected], 2013-08-22
       // If we are handling chinese data, convert gbk string to utf-8 string.
   #ifdef ZH_CN
       char * utf8_str = convert_enc("GBK", "UTF8", ret.c_str());
       return std::string((const char*)utf8_str);
   #else
       return ret;
   #endif
   

3 Install by compiling

1. add such a line into ./CMakeLists.txt to enable supporting Simplifed Chinese Game Data

   add_definitions(-DZH_CN)
   

2. make a directory build under the source dir

   mkdir build
   

3. create makefiles

   cd build
   cmake ..
   

   This may take a short while.

4. compile

   make
   

5. install (root privilege is needed)

   make install
   

   Check the directories of vcmi

   vcmiclient -v
   

   You will see the result like this:

   Starting...
   VCMI 0.93
     data directory:    /usr/local/share/vcmi
     library directory: /usr/local/lib/vcmi
     path to server:    /usr/local/bin/vcmiserver
   

   Here, vcmi is installed under /usr/local

6. Use the Data from the chinese version of Death of Shadow. Link the ‘Data‘, ‘Maps‘, ‘Mp3‘ directories under /usr/local/share/vcmi like this (You need have root privilege):

   cd /usr/local/share/vcmi
   ln -s /Data/Dir/of/ChineseGame Data
   ln -s /Maps/Dir/of/ChineseGame Maps
   ln -s /Mp3/Dir/of/ChineseGame Mp3
   

7. To show chinese characters in this game, you need put a true type font which supports Chinese into /usr/local/share/vcmi/Data.

   cp /chinese/font/path /usr/local/share/vcmi/Data
   

   Edit the /usr/local/share/vcmi/config/fonts.json, modify the truetype font section like this:

   "trueType":
   {
       "BIGFONT"  : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 22, "blend" : true},
       "CALLI10R" : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 10, "blend" : true},
       "CREDITS"  : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 28, "blend" : true},
       "HISCORE"  : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 13, "blend" : true},
       "MEDFONT"  : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 16, "blend" : true},
       "SMALFONT" : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 13, "blend" : true},
       "TIMES08R" : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 11, "blend" : true},
       "TINY"     : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 11, "blend" : true},
       "VERD10B"  : { "file" : "ChineseFont.ttf", "size" : 13, "blend" : true}
   }
   

   Where ChineseFont.ttf is your true type font.

Thanks. I‘ll take a look on this. I don‘t like idea of using ifdef‘s to enable
some functionality but you‘ve tracked every place that needs changes - that will
help.
