MOHAWK: MYST: Stonage Laggy door animation

[dafioram]

git: 9f6b4a1583

When in stoneage opening and closing the door up to the generator room from above the animation looks laggy, the door slides from one position to another. Where as in the original it is a very clean look.

I have seen this in a few other places/doors.

I'm not sure what you mean. The doors have "animations" for sliding open / closed.

The game scripts contain commands like this one to describe them:
`
Running command: o_directionalUpdatePlaySound(3163, 5, 6, 180, 222, 374, 333, 6, 15)

sound: 3163
delay between steps: 5
animated update data size: 6
rect.left: 180
rect.top: 222
rect.right: 374
rect.bottom: 333
kind / direction: 6
steps: 15

`

It asks the engine to render the slide animation in 15 steps, waiting 5 milliseconds between each step.

In ScummVM we draw at most one step per frame so the animations don't go too fast. The original game relied on the computers of the time being slower.

I think it would look better with fewer steps (so it looks more like the original), but I will defer judgement to you.

[dafioram]

Maybe just make the delay less so the whole thing happens faster.

Current behavior is fine.
