2 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
5 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
8 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
11 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
14 * version 3.3.0.1 released
17 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
18 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
19 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
22 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
25 * version 3.3.0.0 released
28 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
29 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
32 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
33 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
34 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
35 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
36 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
37 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
38 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
39 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
40 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
41 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
42 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
45 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
48 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
51 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
52 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
53 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
56 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
59 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
60 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
63 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
64 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
65 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
66 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
67 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
68 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
69 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
71 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
72 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
73 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
74 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
75 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
76 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
77 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
78 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
79 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
80 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
81 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
82 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
85 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
88 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
91 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
94 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
97 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
98 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
99 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
100 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
101 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
102 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
103 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
104 snapshot loading and saving code
105 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
106 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
107 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
108 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
109 against modification in this case)
110 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
111 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
112 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
113 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
116 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
119 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
120 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
123 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
124 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
127 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
130 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
131 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
132 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
133 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
134 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
135 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
136 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
139 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
140 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
143 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
146 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
147 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
148 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
149 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
150 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
153 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
154 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
155 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
156 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
157 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
158 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
159 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
162 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
163 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
166 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
169 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
170 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
171 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
172 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
173 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
174 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
175 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
176 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
177 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
178 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
181 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
182 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
183 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
184 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
187 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
188 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
189 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
190 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
191 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
194 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
197 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
198 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
199 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
202 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
205 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
206 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
209 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
210 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
211 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
212 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
213 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
214 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
217 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
218 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
219 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
222 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
225 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
228 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
229 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
232 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
233 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
234 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
235 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
238 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
239 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
240 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
241 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
242 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
243 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
246 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
247 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
248 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
251 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
252 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
255 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
258 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
259 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
262 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
265 * version 3.2.6.1 released
268 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
269 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
270 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
271 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
272 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
275 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
276 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
277 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
280 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
281 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
282 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
285 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
286 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
287 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
290 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
293 * version 3.2.6.0 released
296 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
297 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
298 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
301 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
302 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
303 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
304 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
305 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
306 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
307 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
308 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
309 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
310 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
311 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
312 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
313 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
314 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
317 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
320 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
321 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
322 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
323 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
326 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
329 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
330 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
331 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
332 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
333 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
334 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
337 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
340 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
343 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
344 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
345 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
348 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
349 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
350 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
351 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
352 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
353 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
354 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
355 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
358 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
359 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
362 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
363 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
366 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
367 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
370 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
371 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
372 but with the following differences:
373 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
374 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
377 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
378 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
381 - explosion of <element>
383 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
384 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
387 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
388 in UpdateGameControlValues()
389 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
390 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
393 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
394 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
397 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
398 element change pages not being recognized
399 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
400 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
401 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
402 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
403 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
406 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
409 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
410 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
413 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
414 normal, destructible wall
415 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
416 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
419 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
420 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
423 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
426 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
429 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
430 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
431 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
434 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
435 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
436 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
439 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
440 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
441 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
442 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
443 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
444 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
445 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
446 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
447 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
448 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
449 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
452 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
453 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
454 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
455 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
456 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
459 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
462 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
463 current levels current high score in the game panel
466 * version number set to 3.2.5
469 * version 3.2.4 released
472 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
475 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
478 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
479 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
480 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
481 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
482 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
485 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
486 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
489 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
490 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
491 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
492 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
493 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
494 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
495 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
496 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
499 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
502 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
503 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
504 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
505 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
506 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
507 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
508 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
509 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
510 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
511 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
512 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
513 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
514 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
515 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
516 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
517 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
518 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
521 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
522 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
525 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
528 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
529 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
530 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
533 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
534 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
537 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
538 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
539 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
542 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
543 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
546 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
549 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
550 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
551 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
552 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
553 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
554 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
555 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
556 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
557 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
558 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
559 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
560 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
561 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
562 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
563 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
564 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
565 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
568 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
569 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
570 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
573 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
574 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
575 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
576 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
579 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
582 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
583 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
584 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
587 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
588 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
589 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
590 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
591 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
594 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
597 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
600 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
601 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
602 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
605 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
606 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
607 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
608 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
609 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
610 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
611 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
614 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
617 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
618 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
619 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
620 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
621 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
624 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
627 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
628 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
629 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
630 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
631 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
634 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
635 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
636 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
639 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
640 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
643 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
644 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
645 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
646 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
648 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
649 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
652 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
653 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
654 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
655 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
656 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
657 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
658 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
659 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
660 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
662 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
663 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
664 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
666 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
667 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
668 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
669 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
670 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
672 to define the title screen images:
673 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
674 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
676 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
677 directory that have the following file names:
678 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
679 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
681 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
682 that affect all text messages:
683 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
684 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
685 or use directives that affect single text messages:
686 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
687 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
689 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
690 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
691 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
694 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
695 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
696 - readme.y: <top position>
697 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
698 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
699 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
700 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
701 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
702 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
703 - readme.font: font name
704 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
705 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
706 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
707 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
708 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
709 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
710 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
711 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
712 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
713 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
714 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
715 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
716 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
717 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
718 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
719 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
720 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
721 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
722 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
723 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
724 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
725 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
726 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
727 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
728 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
729 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
732 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
735 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
736 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
739 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
740 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
741 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
744 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
745 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
746 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
747 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
748 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
749 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
750 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
753 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
756 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
757 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
758 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
761 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
764 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key

766 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
767 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
768 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens

778 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
779 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
782 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
783 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
786 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
789 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
792 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
793 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
794 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
795 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
796 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
797 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
801 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
802 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
805 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
806 - growing steel walls
807 - snappable land mine
810 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
811 - steel text elements

817 * version number set to 3.2.4
820 * version 3.2.3 released
823 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
824 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
825 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
826 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
829 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
832 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
833 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
836 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
837 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
838 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
839 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
840 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
843 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
844 screen fading is disabled
847 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
848 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
849 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
850 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
853 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
856 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
859 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code

871 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
874 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
875 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
876 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
877 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
878 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
879 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
880 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
883 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
886 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
889 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
890 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
891 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
892 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
893 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
894 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
895 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
896 fading mode can also be specified:
897 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
898 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
899 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
900 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
901 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
904 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items

909 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
910 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
913 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
916 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
917 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
918 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
919 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
920 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
923 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
924 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
927 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
928 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
931 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
932 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
935 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
936 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key

956 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
957 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
958 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)

964 * version 3.2.1 released
967 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems

1002 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1003 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1004 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1005 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1006 block in the element list)
1007 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1008 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1011 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu

1031 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1034 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1035 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1038 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1039 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1040 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1043 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can

1074 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1075 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1076 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1079 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1080 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys

1089 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1090 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1091 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1094 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1095 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1096 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1097 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1100 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1101 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1102 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1105 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1106 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1107 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1108 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1109 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1110 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1111 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1112 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1113 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1114 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1115 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1118 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1119 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1120 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor

1134 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1135 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1138 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1139 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1140 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1143 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1144 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1147 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1150 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes

1167 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1168 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
1169 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
1170 - "CE value of triggering element"

1172 - "CE value of current element"
1173 - "CE score of current element"
1176 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1179 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1180 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
1181 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
1182 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
1183 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)
1184 * fixed bug with not scrolling the screen in multi-player mode with the
1185 focus on player 1 when all players are moving in different directions
1186 * fixed bug with keeping pointer to gadget even after its deallocation
1187 * fixed bug with allowing "focus on all players" in network games
1188 * fixed bug with player focus when playing tapes from network games

1219 * added limited movement range to EMC engine when focus on all players
1222 * fixed bug with missing (zero) score values for native Supaplex levels

1226 snap key pressed, without releasing the snap key after each element)
1227 as a new player setting for more compatibility with the classic games
1230 * finished scrolling for "focus on all players" in EMC graphics engine

2195 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2196 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2197 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2198 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2200 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2201 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2202 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2203 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2205 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2206 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2207 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2208 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2209 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2211 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2212 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2214 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2236 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2238 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2239 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2240 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2241 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2243 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2244 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
2247 * version number set to 3.0.1

2270 * version 2.1.1 released
2273 * version number set to 2.1.1
2276 * version 2.1.0 released
2279 * version number set to 2.1.0
2281 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2282 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2283 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2285 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2286 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2287 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2288 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2289 when pressing the Escape key.)
2291 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2292 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2294 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2295 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2296 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2298 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2299 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2300 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2301 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2303 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2304 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2305 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2306 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2307 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2309 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2310 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2311 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2312 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2313 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2314 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2315 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2316 "pause before end" playing mode).
2318 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2319 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2321 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2322 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2323 to add more setup screens).
2325 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2326 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2327 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2329 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2330 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2331 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2333 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2334 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2335 correspondig changes.
2337 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2338 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2339 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2341 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2342 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2344 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2345 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2346 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2347 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2349 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2350 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2351 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2352 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2353 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2354 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2355 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2357 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2358 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2359 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2360 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2361 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2362 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2363 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2365 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2366 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2367 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2368 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2369 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2370 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2372 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2373 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2374 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2375 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2378 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2381 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2383 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2384 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2386 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2387 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2389 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2390 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2391 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2392 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2394 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2395 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2396 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2397 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2398 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2399 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2402 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2403 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2404 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2405 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2407 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2408 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2409 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2410 hall-of-fame music.)
2412 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2413 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2414 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2416 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2417 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2418 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2420 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2421 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2422 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2424 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2425 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2426 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2427 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2428 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2429 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2430 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2431 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2432 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2433 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2434 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2435 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2436 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2437 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2439 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2440 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2441 in a human readable format.
2443 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2444 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2445 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2446 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2448 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2449 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2450 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2451 StopAnimation() was not called.
2453 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2454 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2455 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2456 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2457 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2458 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2459 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2460 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2461 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2463 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2464 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2466 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2467 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2468 not getting killed by enemies
2470 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2471 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2472 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2474 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2475 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2476 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2477 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2478 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2479 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
