2 * fixed bug when changing between graphic sets with different tile size
3 * cleanup of handling the various graphic sizes for different purposes
4 (like 32x32, 16x16 etc.); this change was needed for the bugfix above
7 * added virtual keyboard on Android port when entering player name
10 * fixed "quick menu doors" and sounds for door and envelope requests
13 * fixed display bugs with certain custom menu definitions regarding the
14 hall of fame (high scores) and setup screens that require scrolling
15 (these display bugs showed up with custom menu graphics of R'n'D jue)
18 * fixed bug with animation frames per line with non-standard tile size
19 (relevant for example for 64x64 sized frames continued on next row)
22 * removed checking of file identifier tokens for configuration files
25 * fixed bug where player actions were only mapped in team mode
26 (this broke four tapes in automatic game engine unit test where
27 old levels contained a non-yellow player, like rnd_abby_king, 011)
30 * removed large parts of the preprocessor hell of old and unused code
33 * updated source file headers (mainly author contact information)
36 * added key shortcuts for window scaling and toggling fullscreen mode:
37 - Ctrl-'+', Ctrl-'-' and Ctrl-'0' for up/downscaling and normal size
38 - "F11" key for toggling fullscreen mode (in addition to Alt-Enter)
41 * fixed some drawing bugs when scaling graphics due to "game.tile_size"
42 * added some performance improvements when handling SDL surface scaling
45 * added custom graphics property "game.tile_size" to define in-game tile
46 size (this defines the tile size actually displayed on the playfield);
47 tile graphics will either be scaled to the defined game tile size or
48 have to be specified with the same image size (using ".tile_size")
51 * added custom graphics property ".tile_size" to define tile image size
52 for game element graphics (like "custom_1.tile_size"); non-standard
53 sized images will then be scaled accordingly to standard tile size
56 * fixed music still being played in Android version when in background
59 * added Android "menu" button to be treated as "yes" requester button
60 (while the Android "back" button was already treated as "no" button)
63 * added command line options "--version" / "-V" to show program version
64 (also shows SDL library versions when prefixed with "--debug" option)
67 * error file set to unbuffered to prevent truncation in case of crashes
70 * fixed bug causing wrong screen updates while playing (whole screen
71 update from backbuffer instead of playfield buffer if REDRAW_ALL set)
72 * fixed nasty (typo) bug in native EM engine causing broken player
73 graphics when using different (redefined) playfield size
76 * fixed bug causing EM/EMC graphics sets containing original 16x16 tiles
77 to be displayed incorrectly (with broken scaling) when switching
78 between small and normal game graphics (thanks a lot to filbo for
79 analyzing and describing how to exactly reproduce this bug)
82 * removed MS-DOS support
83 * removed native X11 support (X11 now only supported via SDL/SDL2)
86 * cleanup of functions RedrawPlayfield() and BlitScreenToBitmap()
89 * fixed level redraw after quick-loading tape with small tile graphics
92 * added compatibility code for existing request door animation settings
95 * added ultra-generic, ultra-flexible request door animation handling
98 * fixed major bugs in handling single-player and multi-player tapes
99 (for details, see http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2086)
102 * fixed various problems with playfield and requester/tape/editor doors
103 defined to be at non-standard screen positions in artwork config file
106 * added envelope style requester dialog (alternative to door requester)
109 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
110 * added setup option to select anti-aliasing quality of scaled windows
113 * improved speed of displaying progress when loading levels and artwork
114 * changed fullscreen and window scaling changes in setup menu to have
115 immediate effect (instead of being effective after leaving setup menu)
118 * fixed toons stopping on continuous touch events on Mac OS X
121 * fixed bug when displaying game envelope with even sized playfield
122 * added graphic configuration options for request (dialog) buttons
125 * fixed some redraw bugs with window scaling under Mac OS X
128 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
131 * fixed problems related to fullscreen switching and window scaling
134 * fixed inconsistent custom artwork constants numbering in src/main.h,
135 src/screen.c and src/conf_gfx.c (this really should be cleaned up)
136 (this bug caused custom artwork definition to set wrong variable)
139 * fixed using fullscreen mode on Android instead of pseudo-window mode
140 * fixed keeping desktop fullscreen mode when changing viewport size
143 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
144 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
147 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
148 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
149 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
152 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
155 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
158 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
159 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
162 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
165 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
166 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
169 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
170 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
171 * changed default graphics from PCX to PNG (needed for Android version
172 to prevent painfully slow image loading, although not compressing PCX
173 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
174 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
175 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
178 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
181 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
184 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
187 * version 3.3.1.2 released
190 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
191 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
194 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
195 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
196 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
197 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
200 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
203 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
206 * version 3.3.1.1 released
209 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
210 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
213 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
216 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
219 * version 3.3.1.0 released
222 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
225 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
226 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
227 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
228 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
229 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
230 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
233 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
234 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
237 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
238 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
241 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
242 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
245 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
248 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
249 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
250 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
253 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
254 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
255 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
256 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
257 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
258 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
259 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
262 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
263 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
264 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
265 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
266 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
269 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
270 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
273 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
276 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
277 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
280 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
283 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
286 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
289 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
292 * version 3.3.0.1 released
295 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
296 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
297 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
300 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
303 * version 3.3.0.0 released
306 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
307 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
310 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
311 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
312 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
313 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
314 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
315 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
316 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
317 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
318 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
319 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
320 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
323 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
326 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
329 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
330 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
331 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
334 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
337 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
338 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
341 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
342 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
343 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
344 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
345 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
346 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
347 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
349 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
350 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
351 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
352 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
353 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
354 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
355 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
356 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
357 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
358 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
359 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
360 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
363 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
366 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
369 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
372 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
375 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
376 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
377 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
378 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
379 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
380 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
381 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
382 snapshot loading and saving code
383 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
384 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
385 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
386 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
387 against modification in this case)
388 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
389 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
390 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
391 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
394 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
397 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
398 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
401 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
402 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
405 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
408 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
409 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
410 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
411 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
412 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
413 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
414 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
417 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
418 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
421 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
424 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
425 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
426 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
427 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
428 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
431 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
432 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
433 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
434 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
435 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
436 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
437 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
440 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
441 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
444 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
447 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
448 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
449 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
450 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
451 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
452 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
453 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
454 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
455 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
456 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
459 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
460 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
461 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
462 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
465 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
466 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
467 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
468 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
469 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
472 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
475 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
476 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
477 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
480 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
483 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
484 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
487 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
488 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
489 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
490 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
491 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
492 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
495 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
496 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
497 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
500 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
503 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
506 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
507 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
510 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
511 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
512 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
513 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
516 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
517 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
518 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
519 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
520 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
521 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
524 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
525 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
526 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
529 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
530 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
533 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
536 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
537 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
540 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
543 * version 3.2.6.1 released
546 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
547 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
548 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
549 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
550 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
553 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
554 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
555 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
558 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
559 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
560 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
563 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
564 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
565 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
568 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
571 * version 3.2.6.0 released
574 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
575 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
576 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
579 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
580 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
581 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
582 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
583 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
584 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
585 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
586 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
587 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
588 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
589 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
590 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
591 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
592 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
595 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
598 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
599 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
600 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
601 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
604 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
607 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
608 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
609 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
610 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
611 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
612 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
615 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
618 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
621 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
622 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
623 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
626 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
627 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
628 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
629 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
630 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
631 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
632 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
633 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
636 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
637 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
640 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
641 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
644 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
645 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
648 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
649 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
650 but with the following differences:
651 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
652 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
655 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
656 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
659 - explosion of <element>
661 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
662 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
665 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
666 in UpdateGameControlValues()
667 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
668 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
671 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
672 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
675 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
676 element change pages not being recognized
677 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
678 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
679 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
680 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
681 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
684 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
687 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
688 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
691 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
692 normal, destructible wall
693 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
694 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
697 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
698 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
701 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
704 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
707 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
708 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
709 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
712 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
713 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
714 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
717 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
718 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
719 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
720 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
721 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
722 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
723 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
724 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
725 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
726 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
727 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
730 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
731 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
732 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
733 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
734 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
737 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
740 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
741 current levels current high score in the game panel
744 * version number set to 3.2.5
747 * version 3.2.4 released
750 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
753 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
756 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
757 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
758 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
759 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
760 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
763 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
764 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
767 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
768 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
769 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
770 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
771 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
772 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
773 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
774 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
777 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
780 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
781 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
782 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
783 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
784 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
785 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
786 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
787 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
788 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
789 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
790 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
791 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
792 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
793 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
794 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
795 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
796 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
799 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
800 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
803 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
806 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
807 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
808 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
811 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
812 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
815 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
816 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
817 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
820 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
821 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
824 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
827 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
828 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
829 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
830 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
831 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
832 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
833 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
834 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
835 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
836 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
837 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
838 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
839 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
840 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
841 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
842 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
843 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
846 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
847 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
848 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
851 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
852 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
853 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
854 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
857 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
860 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
861 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
862 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
865 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
866 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
867 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
868 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
869 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
872 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
875 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
878 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
879 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
880 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
883 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
884 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
885 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
886 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
887 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
888 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
889 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
892 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
895 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
896 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
897 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
898 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
899 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
902 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
905 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
906 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
907 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
908 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
909 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
912 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
913 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
914 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
917 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
918 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
921 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
922 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
923 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
924 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
926 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
927 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
930 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
931 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
932 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
933 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
934 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
935 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
936 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
937 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
938 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
940 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
941 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
942 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
944 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
945 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
946 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
947 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
948 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
950 to define the title screen images:
951 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
952 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
954 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
955 directory that have the following file names:
956 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
957 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
959 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
960 that affect all text messages:
961 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
962 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
963 or use directives that affect single text messages:
964 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
965 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
967 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
968 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
969 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
972 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
973 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
974 - readme.y: <top position>
975 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
976 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
977 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
978 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
979 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
980 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
981 - readme.font: font name
982 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
983 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
984 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
985 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
986 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
987 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
988 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
989 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
990 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
991 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
992 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
993 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
994 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
995 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
996 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
997 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
998 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
999 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
1000 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
1001 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
1002 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
1003 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
1004 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
1005 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
1006 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
1007 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
1010 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
1013 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
1014 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
1017 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
1018 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
1019 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
1022 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
1023 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
1024 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
1025 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
1026 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
1027 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
1028 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
1031 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
1034 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
1035 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
1036 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
1039 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
1042 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
1043 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
1044 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
1045 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
1046 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
1049 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
1050 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
1053 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
1056 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
1057 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
1060 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
1061 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
1064 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
1067 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
1070 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
1071 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1072 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
1073 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
1074 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
1075 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
1079 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
1080 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
1083 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1084 - growing steel walls
1085 - snappable land mine
1088 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1089 - steel text elements
1092 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
1095 * version number set to 3.2.4
1098 * version 3.2.3 released
1101 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
1102 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
1103 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
1104 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
1107 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
1110 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
1111 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
1114 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
1115 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
1116 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
1117 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
1118 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
1121 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
1122 screen fading is disabled
1125 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
1126 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
1127 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
1128 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
1131 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
1134 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
1137 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
1140 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
1143 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
1146 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
1147 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
1148 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
1149 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
1152 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
1153 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
1154 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
1155 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
1156 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
1157 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
1158 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
1161 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
1164 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
1167 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
1168 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
1169 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
1170 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
1171 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
1172 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1173 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1174 fading mode can also be specified:
1175 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1176 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1177 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
1178 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
1179 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
1182 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
1185 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
1186 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
1187 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1188 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1191 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1194 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1195 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
1196 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
1197 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
1198 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
1201 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
1202 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
1205 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
1206 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
1209 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
1210 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
1213 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
1214 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
1215 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
1216 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)
1217 * fixed bug with quick-saving tape snapshot despite answering with "no"
1220 * version number set to 3.2.3
1223 * version 3.2.2 released
1226 * fixed bug with redrawing screen in fullscreen mode after quick tape
1227 reloading when using the EMC game engine
1228 * changed token names from "last_ce_[1-8]" to "prev_ce_[1-8]"
1231 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
1234 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
1235 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
1236 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
1239 * version number set to 3.2.2
1242 * version 3.2.1 released
1245 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1248 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)
1251 * fixed bug that caused broken tapes when manually appending to tapes
1252 using the "pause before death" functionality, followed by recording
1253 * added setup option to disable fading of screens for faster testing
1256 * code cleanup of new fading functions
1259 * changed behaviour after solved game -- do not immediately stop engine
1260 * added some more smooth screen fadings (game start, hall of fame etc.)
1263 * fixed bug with displaying pushed CE with value/score/delay anim_mode
1266 * added configurable level preview position, tile size and dimensions
1267 * added configurable game panel value positions (gems, time, score etc.)
1270 * fixed small bug with time displayed incorrectly when collecting CEs
1273 * fixed bug with bumpy scrolling with EM engine in double player mode
1276 * added compatibility code to fix "Snake Bite" style levels that were
1277 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
1280 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1281 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1282 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1283 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1284 block in the element list)
1285 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1286 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1289 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1290 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1293 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1294 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1297 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in
1298 setup menu (input devices section) by using standard button gadgets
1299 * added support for mouse scroll wheel (caused buggy behaviour before)
1300 * added support for scrolling horizontal scrollbars with mouse wheel by
1301 holding "Shift" key pressed while scrolling the wheel
1302 * added support for single step mouse wheel scrolling by holding "Alt"
1303 key pressed while scrolling the wheel (can be combined with "Shift")
1304 * changed output file "stderr.txt" on Windows platform now always to be
1305 created in the R'n'D sub-directory of the personal documents directory
1306 * added Windows message box to direct to "stderr.txt" after error aborts
1309 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1312 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1313 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1316 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1317 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1318 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1321 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can
1322 affect multiple instances of the same CE, although this kind of
1323 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1326 * version number set to 3.2.1
1329 * version 3.2.0 released
1332 * reorganized level editor element list a bit to match engines better
1335 * fixed newly introduced bug with wrongly initializing clipboard element
1338 * fixed bug with displaying visible/invisible level border in editor
1341 * reorganized some elements in the level editor element list
1344 * fixed bug with displaying any player as "yellow" when moving into acid
1345 * fixed bug with displaying running player when player stopped at border
1348 * fixed bug with player exploding when moving into acid
1349 * fixed bug with level settings being reset in editor and when playing
1350 (some compatibility settings being set not only after level loading)
1351 * fixed crash bug when number of custom graphic frames was set to zero
1352 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1353 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1354 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1357 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1358 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1361 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1362 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code

1386 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1387 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1388 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1389 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1390 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1391 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,

2474 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2475 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2476 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2478 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2479 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2480 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2481 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2483 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2484 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2485 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2486 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2487 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2489 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2490 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2492 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2514 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2516 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2517 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2518 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2519 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2521 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2522 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
2525 * version number set to 3.0.1

2539 * I have forgotten to document changes for some time
2542 * pre-release version 2.2.0rc1 released
2544 2002-08-25 src/libgame/setup.c, src/libgame/sound.c
2545 * Level series artwork now configurable via level series config file.
2546 "levelinfo.conf" may now contain directives "graphics_set",
2547 "sounds_set" and "music_set" to select artwork sets which are
2548 globally defined or which are included into other level series.
2551 * version number set to 2.1.2
2554 * version 2.1.1 released
2556 2002-08-10 src/libgame/system.h
2557 * Default "snap" and "bomb" keys for Mac OS X set to left control key
2558 and keypad enter key -- Macs seem not to distinguish between left
2559 and right modifier keys (both generate scan code for left key). :-(
2561 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2562 * Fixed small NetBSD compilation bug.
2563 Thanks to Adam Ciarcinski for the bug report.
2565 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2566 * Added support for audio device "/dev/sound/dsp" (devfs).
2567 Thanks to Christoph Bauer for the corresponding report.
2569 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2570 * Bug fixed that caused regular crashes under SDL/Windows version.
2571 Mixer_InsertSound(): Always stop music before playing new music,
2572 else "mixer_active_channels" can get fucked up.
2573 Thanks to Keith Peterston for the bug report.
2576 * version number set to 2.1.1
2579 * version 2.1.0 released
2581 2002-05-31 src/libgame/image.c
2582 * Read_PCX_to_Pixmap(): Fixed bad memory leak by freeing "ximageinfo"
2583 and "image" after converting loaded PCX image file to X11 Pixmap.
2584 This really showed up when reloading custom artwork several times.
2586 2002-05-20 src/libgame/sound.c
2587 * added support for 16 bit WAV sound files
2590 * version number set to 2.1.0
2592 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2593 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2594 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2595 * added support for TrueColor PCX graphics files
2596 * enhanced sound system (especially regarding stereo and loop sounds)
2598 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2599 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2600 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2601 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2602 when pressing the Escape key.)
2604 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2605 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2607 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2608 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2609 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2611 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2612 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2613 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2614 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2616 2002-04-01 src/libgame/misc.c
2617 * Added (currently incomplete) function "getKeyFromKeyName()" simply
2618 for orthogonality. When really needed, this function must be
2619 extended accordingly (analog to "getKeyFromX11KeyName()").
2621 2002-04-01 src/libgame/setup.c
2622 * Changed setup "TYPE_KEY" (internal, X11 style key symbol name) to
2623 "TYPE_KEY_X11" and added "TYPE_KEY" (human readable key symbol name).
2624 (This was needed for custom key setup handling in "src/screens.c".)
2626 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2627 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2628 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2629 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2630 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2632 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2633 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2634 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2635 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2636 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2637 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2638 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2639 "pause before end" playing mode).
2641 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2642 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2644 2002-03-30 src/libgame/toons.c
2645 * New libgame source file "toons.c" for the program independant part
2648 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2649 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2650 to add more setup screens).
2652 2002-03-29 src/libgame/setup.c
2653 * Changed "LoadLevelInfoFromLevelDir()" so that not only directories
2654 with level sub-directories are recognized, but also directories
2655 that directly contain level files.
2657 2002-03-29 src/libgame/sound.c
2658 * Changed "boolean stereo = TRUE;" to "static boolean stereo = TRUE;".
2659 (This was a bug that showed up only when in mono audio mode.)
2661 2002-03-24 src/libgame/x11.c, src/libgame/sdl.c, src/libgame/image.c
2662 * Changed image loading code to not exit on error, but set error by
2663 using "SetError()" accordingly. Image loading errors must now be
2664 catched by above layers (src/init.c for example).
2666 2002-03-24 src/libgame/misc.c
2667 * New functions "SetError()" and "GetError()" to provide more
2668 flexible error handling.
2670 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2671 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2672 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2674 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2675 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2676 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2678 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2679 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2680 correspondig changes.
2682 2002-03-23 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/system.h
2683 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new files "setup.c"
2686 2002-03-23 src/libgame/setup.c
2687 * New libgame source file "setup.c" that contains now most setup and
2688 level directory stuff previously handled in "src/files.c".
2690 2002-03-23 src/libgame/joystick.c
2691 * New libgame source file "joystick.c" that contains now all joystick
2692 stuff previously handled in "src/joystick.c" of "Rocks'n'Diamonds".
2694 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2695 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2696 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2698 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2699 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2701 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2702 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2703 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2704 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2706 2002-03-22 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/sound.c
2707 * Added command line option "-s" / "--sounds" and "-m" / "--music"
2708 to specify alternative sound and music directories. (The former
2709 shortcut "-s" for "--serveronly" has changed accordingly.)
2711 2002-03-22 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2712 * Added new gadget events for displaying gadget info texts:
2713 "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING" and "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING". Before,
2714 the info text callback function was only called when entering
2715 a gadget (implicit "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING"). But the info text
2716 was never erased. This can now be done by checking the event type
2717 in the info callback function.
2719 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2720 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2721 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2722 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2723 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2724 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2725 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2727 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2728 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2729 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2730 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2731 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2732 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2733 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2735 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2736 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2737 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2738 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2739 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2740 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2742 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2743 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2744 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2745 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2747 2002-03-20 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2748 * "va_arg(ap, boolean)" changed to "(boolean)va_arg(ap, int)";
2749 this caused problems especially on PowerPC architecture (although
2750 it is wrong on i386 and other architectures, too)
2752 2002-03-20 src/libgame/pcx.c, src/libgame/image.c
2753 * Added support for loading and displaying true-color PCX files.
2755 2002-03-20 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/x11.c
2756 * Added command line option "-g" / "--graphics" to specify an
2757 alternative graphics directory.
2760 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2763 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2765 2002-03-19 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/sdl.c [src/tools.c]
2766 * Moved function "GetPixel()" from src/tools.c ("Mirror Magic" code)
2767 to libgame source files; needed for SDL fullscreen bug workaround
2770 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2771 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2773 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2774 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2776 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2777 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2778 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2779 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2781 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2782 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2784 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2785 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2786 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2787 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2789 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2790 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2791 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2792 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2793 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2794 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2797 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2798 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2799 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2800 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2802 2002-03-17 src/libgame/sound.c
2803 * Bug in "StopMusic()" fixed: SDL_mixer functions may be called
2804 even when sound not available.
2805 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2807 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2808 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2809 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2810 hall-of-fame music.)
2812 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sound.c, src/libgame/platform.h
2813 * Added /dev/dsp (streaming audio) support for NetBSD (instead of the
2814 /dev/audio (ulaw) based Unix audio interface).
2815 Thanks to Krister Walfridsson <cato@df.lth.se> for the patches.
2817 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sdl.c
2818 * Workaround for fullscreen bug in WIN32 version of SDL (at least
2819 in the currently actual version 1.2.3) by using "standard" screen
2820 resolutions like 800x600 and mapping all input (mouse events) and
2821 output (screen drawing) accordingly.
2823 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2824 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2825 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2827 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2828 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2829 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2831 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2832 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2833 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2835 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2836 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2837 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2838 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2839 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2840 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2841 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2842 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2843 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2844 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2845 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2846 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2847 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2848 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2850 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2851 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2852 in a human readable format.
2854 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2855 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2856 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2857 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2859 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2860 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2861 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2862 StopAnimation() was not called.
2864 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2865 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2866 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2867 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2868 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2869 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2870 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2871 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2872 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2874 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2875 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2877 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2878 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2879 not getting killed by enemies
2881 2002-02-28 src/libgame/sound.c
2882 * Fixed small problem with new SDL_Mixer 1.2.1:
2883 Mix_VolumeMusic() must be called _after_ Mix_PlayMusic(),
2884 or it has no effect.
2886 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2887 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2888 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2890 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2891 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2892 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2893 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2894 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2895 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
