2 * added key pad '-', '+' and '0' keys to zoom function in level editor
5 * added 1%, 2% and 5% to volume controls for sound and music settings
8 * fixed bug with editor border element not adjusted after resizing level
9 * changed unused playfield from "default" to "empty" after loading level
10 * increased number of undo/redo steps in level editor from 10 to 64
13 * added zoom functionality for playfield drawing area to level editor
14 (use left, right and middle mouse buttons on new "zoom" toolbox button
15 or use keys '-', '+' and '0' to zoom out, in or reset to default size)
18 * fixed bug not updating game panel values in visible warp forward mode
21 * changed position of CE/GE use/save template gadgets to be visually
22 separated from other CE/GE gadgets (to prevent accidental use)
23 * fixed bug in editor when using undo after rotating level repeatedly
24 * added 'redo' functionality to editor (by pressing 'undo' with right
25 mouse button or by using key shortcut "Shift-R")
28 * added configurability of editor control buttons (toolbox buttons)
31 * finished configurability of tape date and time display positions
32 * fixed bug with game buttons in tape area not properly redrawn
33 * fixed small graphical bug with default tape time display position
34 * added optionally configurable game frame counter to tape display
37 * fixed configurability of editor element palette (for columns != 4)
40 * improved configurability of tape date and time display positions
41 * added configurability of element properties button in editor
42 * added build dependency for auto-conf files
45 * added looking for editor element descriptions in level set directory
46 (for example, in file "<my-level-folder>/docs/elements/custom_1.txt")
49 * moved "element properties" button in editor from toolbox to palette
50 * added "zoom level tile size" button in editor to toolbox (currently
51 no function behind it; will be used to zoom level editor playfield)
52 * added key shortcuts '1' to '3' to view properties of drawing elements
53 * fixed gadget display bug in editor (door 1 area) after test playing
54 * fixed bugs when changing drawing area gadgets (like group elements)
57 * re-enabled editor palette element options in setup configuration file
60 * fixed loading custom PCX image files with default artwork file names
61 (like "RocksDoor.pcx") which are not redefined in artwork config file
62 (this is a special fix for Zelda 2 and probably some other existing
63 level sets which use new graphics which are not defined in the file
64 "graphicsinfo.conf", but use a file name of one of default graphics
65 (like "RocksScreen.pcx"); this did not work anymore for PCX files
66 since the default graphics files have been changed to PNG files, so
67 different file names are checked now (like "RocksScreen.png"), so if
68 the PNG files cannot be found, the old PCX files are also checked)
71 * added some more graphics customization options for the level editor:
72 - editor.button.prev_level (position)
73 - editor.button.next_level (position)
74 - editor.input.level_number (position)
75 - editor.palette.tile_size (tile size for palette elements)
76 - editor.palette.element_left.tile_size (draw element tile size)
77 - editor.palette.element_middle.tile_size (draw element tile size)
78 - editor.palette.element_right.tile_size (draw element tile size)
79 - editor.input.gfx.level_number (current level number input field)
82 * fixed menu display bugs caused by drawing outside menu area (again)
85 * fixed broken door animations when switching between custom graphics
88 * fixed layout for "level set info" to support custom playfield size
89 * fixed changing from title to info screen with custom playfield size
92 * fixed bug with not updating default bitmap pointer for scaled images
93 * fixed redraw/fade bugs when redefining the playfield size or position
96 * fixed some smaller issues with loading custom artwork
99 * added warnings when using undefined element and graphic names in
100 custom artwork definitions (like ".crumbled_like" or ".clone_from")
101 * added setting default filenames for all cloned graphics in static
102 graphics configuration on startup (to be able to fall back later)
105 * fixed using buttons on main screen with size other than 32x32 pixels
106 * fixed some initialization bugs for scrollbars and main screen buttons
107 * fixed bug when drawing non-element graphics (without separate in-game
108 graphic/bitmap defined) while non-standard game tile size is defined
111 * removed some remaining unused X11 stuff
112 * fixed bug with potentially suppressed exit error message on startup
115 * fixed bug not loading tape when selecting level from level selection
116 screen (thanks to filbo for finding this bug and supplying a patch)
119 * fixed menu display bugs (drawing outside menu area with draw offset)
120 * fixed menu key navigation bugs (when using smaller menu list size)
123 * added support for animated door parts during opening/closing movement
126 * added automatic detection of normal/steel character elements in level
127 editor when drawing text (depending on currently selected element)
130 * eliminated historical ISO-8859-1 characters from source code files
131 (but still using them internally for special character encodings)
132 * changed output of special character for level sketch brushes to UTF-8
135 * added handling of unselectable selectbox options and option headlines
138 * fixed bug when changing between graphic sets with different tile size
139 * cleanup of handling the various graphic sizes for different purposes
140 (like 32x32, 16x16 etc.); this change was needed for the bugfix above
143 * added virtual keyboard on Android port when entering player name
146 * fixed "quick menu doors" and sounds for door and envelope requests
149 * fixed display bugs with certain custom menu definitions regarding the
150 hall of fame (high scores) and setup screens that require scrolling
151 (these display bugs showed up with custom menu graphics of R'n'D jue)
154 * fixed bug with animation frames per line with non-standard tile size
155 (relevant for example for 64x64 sized frames continued on next row)
158 * removed checking of file identifier tokens for configuration files
161 * fixed bug where player actions were only mapped in team mode
162 (this broke four tapes in automatic game engine unit test where
163 old levels contained a non-yellow player, like rnd_abby_king, 011)
166 * removed large parts of the preprocessor hell of old and unused code
169 * updated source file headers (mainly author contact information)
172 * added key shortcuts for window scaling and toggling fullscreen mode:
173 - Ctrl-'+', Ctrl-'-' and Ctrl-'0' for up/downscaling and normal size
174 - "F11" key for toggling fullscreen mode (in addition to Alt-Enter)
177 * fixed some drawing bugs when scaling graphics due to "game.tile_size"
178 * added some performance improvements when handling SDL surface scaling
181 * added custom graphics property "game.tile_size" to define in-game tile
182 size (this defines the tile size actually displayed on the playfield);
183 tile graphics will either be scaled to the defined game tile size or
184 have to be specified with the same image size (using ".tile_size")
187 * added custom graphics property ".tile_size" to define tile image size
188 for game element graphics (like "custom_1.tile_size"); non-standard
189 sized images will then be scaled accordingly to standard tile size
192 * fixed music still being played in Android version when in background
195 * added Android "menu" button to be treated as "yes" requester button
196 (while the Android "back" button was already treated as "no" button)
199 * added command line options "--version" / "-V" to show program version
200 (also shows SDL library versions when prefixed with "--debug" option)
203 * error file set to unbuffered to prevent truncation in case of crashes
206 * fixed bug causing wrong screen updates while playing (whole screen
207 update from backbuffer instead of playfield buffer if REDRAW_ALL set)
208 * fixed nasty (typo) bug in native EM engine causing broken player
209 graphics when using different (redefined) playfield size
212 * fixed bug causing EM/EMC graphics sets containing original 16x16 tiles
213 to be displayed incorrectly (with broken scaling) when switching
214 between small and normal game graphics (thanks a lot to filbo for
215 analyzing and describing how to exactly reproduce this bug)
218 * removed MS-DOS support
219 * removed native X11 support (X11 now only supported via SDL/SDL2)
222 * cleanup of functions RedrawPlayfield() and BlitScreenToBitmap()
225 * fixed level redraw after quick-loading tape with small tile graphics
228 * added compatibility code for existing request door animation settings
231 * added ultra-generic, ultra-flexible request door animation handling
234 * fixed major bugs in handling single-player and multi-player tapes
235 (for details, see http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2086)
238 * fixed various problems with playfield and requester/tape/editor doors
239 defined to be at non-standard screen positions in artwork config file
242 * added envelope style requester dialog (alternative to door requester)
245 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
246 * added setup option to select anti-aliasing quality of scaled windows
249 * improved speed of displaying progress when loading levels and artwork
250 * changed fullscreen and window scaling changes in setup menu to have
251 immediate effect (instead of being effective after leaving setup menu)
254 * fixed toons stopping on continuous touch events on Mac OS X
257 * fixed bug when displaying game envelope with even sized playfield
258 * added graphic configuration options for request (dialog) buttons
261 * fixed some redraw bugs with window scaling under Mac OS X
264 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
267 * fixed problems related to fullscreen switching and window scaling
270 * fixed inconsistent custom artwork constants numbering in src/main.h,
271 src/screen.c and src/conf_gfx.c (this really should be cleaned up)
272 (this bug caused custom artwork definition to set wrong variable)
275 * fixed using fullscreen mode on Android instead of pseudo-window mode
276 * fixed keeping desktop fullscreen mode when changing viewport size
279 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
280 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
283 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
284 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
285 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
288 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
291 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
294 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
295 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
298 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
301 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
302 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
305 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
306 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
307 * changed default graphics from PCX to PNG (needed for Android version
308 to prevent painfully slow image loading, although not compressing PCX
309 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
310 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
311 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
314 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
317 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
320 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
323 * version 3.3.1.2 released
326 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
327 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
330 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
331 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
332 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
333 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
336 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
339 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
342 * version 3.3.1.1 released
345 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
346 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
349 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
352 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
355 * version 3.3.1.0 released
358 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
361 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
362 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
363 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
364 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
365 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
366 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
369 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
370 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
373 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
374 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
377 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
378 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
381 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
384 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
385 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
386 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
389 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
390 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
391 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
392 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
393 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
394 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
395 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
398 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
399 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
400 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
401 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
402 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
405 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
406 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
409 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
412 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
413 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
416 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
419 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
422 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
425 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
428 * version 3.3.0.1 released
431 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
432 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
433 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
436 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
439 * version 3.3.0.0 released
442 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
443 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
446 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
447 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
448 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
449 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
450 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
451 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
452 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
453 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
454 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
455 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
456 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
459 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
462 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
465 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
466 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
467 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
470 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
473 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
474 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
477 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
478 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
479 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
480 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
481 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
482 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
483 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
485 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
486 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
487 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
488 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
489 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
490 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
491 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
492 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
493 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
494 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
495 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
496 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
499 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
502 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
505 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
508 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
511 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
512 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
513 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
514 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
515 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
516 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
517 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
518 snapshot loading and saving code
519 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
520 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
521 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
522 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
523 against modification in this case)
524 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
525 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
526 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
527 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
530 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
533 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
534 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
537 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
538 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
541 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
544 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
545 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
546 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
547 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
548 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
549 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
550 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
553 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
554 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
557 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
560 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
561 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
562 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
563 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
564 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
567 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
568 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
569 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
570 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
571 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
572 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
573 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
576 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
577 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
580 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
583 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
584 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
585 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
586 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
587 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
588 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
589 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
590 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
591 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
592 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
595 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
596 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
597 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
598 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
601 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
602 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
603 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
604 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
605 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
608 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
611 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
612 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
613 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
616 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
619 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
620 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
623 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
624 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
625 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
626 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
627 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
628 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
631 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
632 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
633 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
636 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
639 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
642 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
643 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
646 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
647 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
648 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
649 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
652 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
653 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
654 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
655 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
656 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
657 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
660 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
661 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
662 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
665 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
666 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
669 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
672 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
673 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
676 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
679 * version 3.2.6.1 released
682 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
683 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
684 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
685 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
686 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
689 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
690 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
691 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
694 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
695 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
696 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
699 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
700 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
701 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
704 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
707 * version 3.2.6.0 released
710 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
711 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
712 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
715 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
716 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
717 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
718 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
719 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
720 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
721 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
722 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
723 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
724 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
725 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
726 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
727 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
728 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
731 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
734 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
735 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
736 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
737 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
740 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
743 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
744 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
745 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
746 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
747 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
748 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
751 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
754 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
757 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
758 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
759 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
762 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
763 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
764 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
765 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
766 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
767 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
768 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
769 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
772 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
773 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
776 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
777 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
780 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
781 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
784 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
785 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
786 but with the following differences:
787 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
788 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
791 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
792 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
795 - explosion of <element>
797 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
798 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
801 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
802 in UpdateGameControlValues()
803 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
804 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
807 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
808 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
811 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
812 element change pages not being recognized
813 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
814 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
815 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
816 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
817 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
820 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
823 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
824 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
827 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
828 normal, destructible wall
829 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
830 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
833 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
834 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
837 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
840 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
843 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
844 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
845 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
848 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
849 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
850 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
853 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
854 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
855 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
856 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
857 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
858 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
859 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
860 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
861 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
862 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
863 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
866 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
867 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
868 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
869 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
870 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
873 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
876 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
877 current levels current high score in the game panel
880 * version number set to 3.2.5
883 * version 3.2.4 released
886 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
889 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
892 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
893 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
894 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
895 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
896 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
899 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
900 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
903 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
904 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
905 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
906 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
907 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
908 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
909 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
910 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
913 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
916 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
917 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
918 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
919 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
920 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
921 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
922 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
923 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
924 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
925 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
926 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
927 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
928 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
929 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
930 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
931 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
932 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
935 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
936 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
939 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
942 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
943 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
944 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
947 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
948 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
951 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
952 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
953 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
956 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
957 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
960 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
963 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
964 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
965 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
966 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
967 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
968 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
969 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
970 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
971 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
972 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
973 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
974 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
975 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
976 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
977 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
978 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
979 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
982 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
983 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
984 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
987 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
988 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
989 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
990 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
993 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
996 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
997 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
998 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
1001 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
1002 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
1003 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
1004 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
1005 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
1008 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
1011 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
1014 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
1015 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
1016 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
1019 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
1020 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
1021 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
1022 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
1023 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
1024 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
1025 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
1028 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
1031 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
1032 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
1033 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
1034 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
1035 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
1038 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
1041 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
1042 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
1043 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
1044 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
1045 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
1048 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
1049 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
1050 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
1053 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
1054 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
1057 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
1058 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
1059 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
1060 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
1062 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
1063 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
1066 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
1067 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
1068 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
1069 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
1070 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
1071 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
1072 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
1073 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
1074 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
1076 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
1077 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
1078 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
1080 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
1081 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1082 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1083 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1084 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1086 to define the title screen images:
1087 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1088 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1090 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
1091 directory that have the following file names:
1092 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1093 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1095 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
1096 that affect all text messages:
1097 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
1098 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
1099 or use directives that affect single text messages:
1100 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1101 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1103 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
1104 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
1105 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
1108 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
1109 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
1110 - readme.y: <top position>
1111 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
1112 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
1113 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
1114 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
1115 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
1116 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
1117 - readme.font: font name
1118 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
1119 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
1120 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
1121 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
1122 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
1123 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
1124 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
1125 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
1126 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
1127 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
1128 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
1129 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
1130 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
1131 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
1132 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
1133 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
1134 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
1135 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
1136 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
1137 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
1138 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
1139 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
1140 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
1141 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
1142 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
1143 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
1146 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
1149 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
1150 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
1153 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
1154 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
1155 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
1158 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
1159 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
1160 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
1161 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
1162 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
1163 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
1164 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
1167 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
1170 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
1171 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
1172 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
1175 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
1178 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
1179 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
1180 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
1181 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
1182 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
1185 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
1186 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
1189 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
1192 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
1193 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
1196 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
1197 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
1200 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
1203 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
1206 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
1207 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1208 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
1209 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
1210 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
1211 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
1215 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
1216 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
1219 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1220 - growing steel walls
1221 - snappable land mine
1224 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1225 - steel text elements
1228 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
1231 * version number set to 3.2.4
1234 * version 3.2.3 released
1237 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
1238 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
1239 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
1240 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
1243 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
1246 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
1247 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
1250 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
1251 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
1252 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
1253 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
1254 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
1257 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
1258 screen fading is disabled
1261 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
1262 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
1263 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
1264 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
1267 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
1270 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
1273 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
1276 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
1279 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
1282 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
1283 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
1284 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
1285 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
1288 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
1289 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
1290 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
1291 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
1292 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
1293 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
1294 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
1297 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
1300 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
1303 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
1304 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
1305 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
1306 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
1307 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
1308 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1309 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1310 fading mode can also be specified:
1311 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1312 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1313 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
1314 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
1315 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
1318 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
1321 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
1322 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
1323 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1324 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1327 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1330 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1331 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
1332 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
1333 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
1334 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
1337 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
1338 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
1341 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
1342 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
1345 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
1346 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame

1416 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1417 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event

1453 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1454 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1457 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can

1520 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1521 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1522 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1523 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1524 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1525 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1526 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1527 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1528 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1529 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1532 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing

1587 - "CE score of current element"
1590 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1593 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1594 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
1595 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
1596 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
1597 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)

2614 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2615 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2616 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined

2692 2002-08-10 src/libgame/system.h
2693 * Default "snap" and "bomb" keys for Mac OS X set to left control key
2694 and keypad enter key -- Macs seem not to distinguish between left

2697 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2698 * Fixed small NetBSD compilation bug.
2699 Thanks to Adam Ciarcinski for the bug report.
2701 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c

2703 Thanks to Christoph Bauer for the corresponding report.
2705 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2706 * Bug fixed that caused regular crashes under SDL/Windows version.
2707 Mixer_InsertSound(): Always stop music before playing new music,
2708 else "mixer_active_channels" can get fucked up.
2709 Thanks to Keith Peterston for the bug report.
2712 * version number set to 2.1.1
2715 * version 2.1.0 released
2717 2002-05-31 src/libgame/image.c
2718 * Read_PCX_to_Pixmap(): Fixed bad memory leak by freeing "ximageinfo"
2719 and "image" after converting loaded PCX image file to X11 Pixmap.
2720 This really showed up when reloading custom artwork several times.
2722 2002-05-20 src/libgame/sound.c
2723 * added support for 16 bit WAV sound files
2726 * version number set to 2.1.0

2734 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2735 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2736 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2737 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2738 when pressing the Escape key.)
2740 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2741 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2743 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2744 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2745 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2747 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2748 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2749 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2750 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2752 2002-04-01 src/libgame/misc.c
2753 * Added (currently incomplete) function "getKeyFromKeyName()" simply
2754 for orthogonality. When really needed, this function must be
2755 extended accordingly (analog to "getKeyFromX11KeyName()").
2757 2002-04-01 src/libgame/setup.c
2758 * Changed setup "TYPE_KEY" (internal, X11 style key symbol name) to
2759 "TYPE_KEY_X11" and added "TYPE_KEY" (human readable key symbol name).
2760 (This was needed for custom key setup handling in "src/screens.c".)
2762 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2763 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2764 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2765 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2766 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2768 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2769 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2770 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2771 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2772 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2773 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2774 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2775 "pause before end" playing mode).
2777 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2778 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2780 2002-03-30 src/libgame/toons.c
2781 * New libgame source file "toons.c" for the program independant part
2784 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2785 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2786 to add more setup screens).
2788 2002-03-29 src/libgame/setup.c
2789 * Changed "LoadLevelInfoFromLevelDir()" so that not only directories
2790 with level sub-directories are recognized, but also directories
2791 that directly contain level files.
2793 2002-03-29 src/libgame/sound.c
2794 * Changed "boolean stereo = TRUE;" to "static boolean stereo = TRUE;".
2795 (This was a bug that showed up only when in mono audio mode.)
2797 2002-03-24 src/libgame/x11.c, src/libgame/sdl.c, src/libgame/image.c
2798 * Changed image loading code to not exit on error, but set error by
2799 using "SetError()" accordingly. Image loading errors must now be
2800 catched by above layers (src/init.c for example).
2802 2002-03-24 src/libgame/misc.c
2803 * New functions "SetError()" and "GetError()" to provide more
2804 flexible error handling.
2806 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2807 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2808 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2810 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2811 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2812 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2814 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2815 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2816 correspondig changes.
2818 2002-03-23 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/system.h
2819 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new files "setup.c"
2822 2002-03-23 src/libgame/setup.c
2823 * New libgame source file "setup.c" that contains now most setup and
2824 level directory stuff previously handled in "src/files.c".
2826 2002-03-23 src/libgame/joystick.c
2827 * New libgame source file "joystick.c" that contains now all joystick
2828 stuff previously handled in "src/joystick.c" of "Rocks'n'Diamonds".
2830 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2831 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2832 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2834 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2835 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2837 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2838 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2839 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2840 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2842 2002-03-22 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/sound.c
2843 * Added command line option "-s" / "--sounds" and "-m" / "--music"
2844 to specify alternative sound and music directories. (The former
2845 shortcut "-s" for "--serveronly" has changed accordingly.)
2847 2002-03-22 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2848 * Added new gadget events for displaying gadget info texts:
2849 "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING" and "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING". Before,
2850 the info text callback function was only called when entering
2851 a gadget (implicit "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING"). But the info text
2852 was never erased. This can now be done by checking the event type
2853 in the info callback function.
2855 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2856 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2857 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2858 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2859 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2860 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2861 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2863 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2864 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2865 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2866 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2867 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2868 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2869 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2871 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2872 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2873 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2874 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2875 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2876 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2878 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2879 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2880 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2881 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2883 2002-03-20 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2884 * "va_arg(ap, boolean)" changed to "(boolean)va_arg(ap, int)";
2885 this caused problems especially on PowerPC architecture (although
2886 it is wrong on i386 and other architectures, too)
2888 2002-03-20 src/libgame/pcx.c, src/libgame/image.c
2889 * Added support for loading and displaying true-color PCX files.
2891 2002-03-20 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/x11.c
2892 * Added command line option "-g" / "--graphics" to specify an
2893 alternative graphics directory.
2896 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2899 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2901 2002-03-19 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/sdl.c [src/tools.c]
2902 * Moved function "GetPixel()" from src/tools.c ("Mirror Magic" code)
2903 to libgame source files; needed for SDL fullscreen bug workaround
2906 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2907 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2909 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2910 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2912 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2913 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2914 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2915 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2917 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2918 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2920 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2921 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2922 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2923 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2925 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2926 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2927 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2928 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2929 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2930 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2933 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2934 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2935 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2936 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2938 2002-03-17 src/libgame/sound.c
2939 * Bug in "StopMusic()" fixed: SDL_mixer functions may be called
2940 even when sound not available.
2941 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2943 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2944 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2945 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2946 hall-of-fame music.)
2948 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sound.c, src/libgame/platform.h
2949 * Added /dev/dsp (streaming audio) support for NetBSD (instead of the
2950 /dev/audio (ulaw) based Unix audio interface).
2951 Thanks to Krister Walfridsson <cato@df.lth.se> for the patches.
2953 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sdl.c
2954 * Workaround for fullscreen bug in WIN32 version of SDL (at least
2955 in the currently actual version 1.2.3) by using "standard" screen
2956 resolutions like 800x600 and mapping all input (mouse events) and
2957 output (screen drawing) accordingly.
2959 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2960 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2961 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2963 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2964 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2965 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2967 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2968 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2969 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2971 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2972 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2973 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2974 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2975 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2976 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2977 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2978 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2979 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2980 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2981 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2982 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2983 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2984 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2986 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2987 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2988 in a human readable format.
2990 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2991 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2992 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2993 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2995 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2996 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2997 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2998 StopAnimation() was not called.
3000 2002-03-13 src/files.c
3001 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
3002 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
3003 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
3004 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
3005 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
3006 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
3007 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
3008 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
3010 2002-03-13 src/files.c
3011 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
3013 2002-03-12 src/game.c
3014 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
3015 not getting killed by enemies
3017 2002-02-28 src/libgame/sound.c
3018 * Fixed small problem with new SDL_Mixer 1.2.1:
3019 Mix_VolumeMusic() must be called _after_ Mix_PlayMusic(),
3020 or it has no effect.
3022 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
3023 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
3024 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
3026 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
3027 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
3028 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
3029 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
3030 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
3031 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
