2 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
3 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
6 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
7 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
8 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
9 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
12 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
15 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
18 * version 3.3.1.1 released
21 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
22 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
25 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
28 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
31 * version 3.3.1.0 released
34 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
37 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
38 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
39 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
40 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
41 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
42 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
45 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
46 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
49 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
50 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
53 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
54 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
57 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
60 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
61 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
62 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
65 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
66 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
67 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
68 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
69 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
70 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
71 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
74 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
75 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
76 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
77 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
78 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
81 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
82 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
85 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
88 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
89 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
92 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
95 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
98 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
101 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
104 * version 3.3.0.1 released
107 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
108 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
109 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
112 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
115 * version 3.3.0.0 released
118 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
119 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
122 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
123 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
124 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
125 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
126 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
127 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
128 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
129 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
130 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
131 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
132 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
135 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
138 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
141 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
142 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
143 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
146 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
149 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
150 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
153 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
154 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
155 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
156 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
157 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
158 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
159 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
161 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
162 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
163 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
164 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
165 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
166 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
167 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
168 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
169 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
170 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
171 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
172 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
175 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
178 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
181 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
184 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
187 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
188 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
189 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
190 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
191 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
192 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
193 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
194 snapshot loading and saving code
195 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
196 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
197 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
198 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
199 against modification in this case)
200 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
201 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
202 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
203 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
206 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
209 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
210 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
213 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
214 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
217 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
220 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
221 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
222 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
223 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
224 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
225 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
226 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
229 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
230 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
233 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
236 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
237 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
238 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
239 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
240 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
243 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
244 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
245 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
246 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
247 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
248 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
249 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
252 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
253 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
256 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
259 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
260 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
261 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
262 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
263 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
264 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
265 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
266 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
267 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
268 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
271 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
272 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
273 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
274 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
277 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
278 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
279 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
280 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
281 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
284 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
287 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
288 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
289 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
292 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
295 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
296 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
299 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
300 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
301 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
302 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
303 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
304 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
307 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
308 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
309 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
312 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
315 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
318 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
319 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
322 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
323 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
324 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
325 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
328 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
329 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
330 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
331 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
332 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
333 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
336 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
337 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
338 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
341 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
342 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
345 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
348 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
349 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
352 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
355 * version 3.2.6.1 released
358 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
359 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
360 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
361 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
362 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
365 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
366 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
367 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
370 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
371 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
372 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
375 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
376 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
377 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
380 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
383 * version 3.2.6.0 released
386 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
387 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
388 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
391 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
392 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
393 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
394 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
395 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
396 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
397 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
398 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
399 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
400 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
401 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
402 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
403 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
404 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
407 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
410 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
411 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
412 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
413 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
416 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
419 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
420 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
421 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
422 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
423 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
424 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
427 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
430 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
433 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
434 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
435 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
438 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
439 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
440 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
441 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
442 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
443 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
444 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
445 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
448 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
449 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
452 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
453 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
456 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
457 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
460 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
461 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
462 but with the following differences:
463 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
464 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
467 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
468 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
471 - explosion of <element>
473 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
474 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
477 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
478 in UpdateGameControlValues()
479 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
480 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
483 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
484 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
487 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
488 element change pages not being recognized
489 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
490 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
491 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
492 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
493 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
496 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
499 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
500 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
503 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
504 normal, destructible wall
505 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
506 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
509 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
510 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
513 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
516 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
519 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
520 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
521 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
524 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
525 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
526 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
529 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
530 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
531 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
532 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
533 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
534 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
535 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
536 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
537 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
538 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
539 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
542 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
543 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
544 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
545 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
546 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
549 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
552 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
553 current levels current high score in the game panel
556 * version number set to 3.2.5
559 * version 3.2.4 released
562 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
565 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
568 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
569 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
570 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
571 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
572 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
575 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
576 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
579 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
580 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
581 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
582 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
583 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
584 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
585 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
586 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
589 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
592 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
593 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
594 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
595 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
596 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
597 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
598 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
599 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
600 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
601 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
602 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
603 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
604 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
605 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
606 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
607 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
608 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
611 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
612 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
615 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
618 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
619 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
620 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
623 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
624 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
627 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
628 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
629 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
632 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
633 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
636 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
639 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
640 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
641 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
642 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
643 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
644 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
645 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
646 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
647 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
648 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
649 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
650 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
651 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
652 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
653 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
654 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
655 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
658 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
659 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
660 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
663 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
664 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
665 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
666 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
669 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
672 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
673 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
674 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
677 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
678 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
679 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
680 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
681 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
684 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
687 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
690 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
691 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
692 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
695 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
696 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
697 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
698 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
699 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
700 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
701 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
704 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
707 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
708 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
709 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
710 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
711 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
714 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
717 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
718 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
719 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
720 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
721 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
724 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
725 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
726 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
729 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
730 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
733 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
734 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
735 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
736 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
738 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
739 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
742 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
743 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
744 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
745 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
746 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
747 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
748 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
749 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
750 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
752 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
753 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
754 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
756 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
757 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
758 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
759 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
760 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
762 to define the title screen images:
763 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
764 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
766 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
767 directory that have the following file names:
768 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
769 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
771 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
772 that affect all text messages:
773 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
774 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
775 or use directives that affect single text messages:
776 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
777 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
779 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
780 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
781 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
784 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
785 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
786 - readme.y: <top position>
787 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
788 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
789 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
790 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
791 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
792 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
793 - readme.font: font name
794 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
795 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
796 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
797 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
798 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
799 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
800 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
801 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
802 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
803 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
804 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
805 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
806 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
807 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
808 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
809 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
810 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
811 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
812 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
813 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
814 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
815 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
816 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
817 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
818 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
819 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
822 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
825 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
826 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
829 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
830 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
831 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
834 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
835 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
836 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
837 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
838 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
839 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
840 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
843 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
846 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
847 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
848 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
851 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
854 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
855 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
856 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
857 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
858 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
861 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
862 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
865 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
868 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
869 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
872 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
873 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
876 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
879 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
882 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
883 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
884 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
885 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
886 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
887 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
891 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
892 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
895 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
896 - growing steel walls
897 - snappable land mine
900 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
901 - steel text elements
904 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
907 * version number set to 3.2.4
910 * version 3.2.3 released
913 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
914 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
915 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
916 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
919 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
922 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
923 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
926 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
927 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
928 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
929 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
930 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
933 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
934 screen fading is disabled
937 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
938 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
939 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
940 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
943 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
946 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
949 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
952 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
955 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
958 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
959 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
960 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
961 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
964 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
965 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
966 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
967 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
968 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
969 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
970 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
973 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
976 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
979 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
980 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
981 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
982 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
983 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
984 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
985 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
986 fading mode can also be specified:
987 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
988 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
989 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
990 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
991 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
994 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
997 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
998 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
999 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1000 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1003 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1006 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1007 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
1008 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
1009 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
1010 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
1013 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
1014 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
1017 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
1018 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
1021 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
1022 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
1025 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
1026 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
1027 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
1028 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)
1029 * fixed bug with quick-saving tape snapshot despite answering with "no"
1032 * version number set to 3.2.3
1035 * version 3.2.2 released

1039 reloading when using the EMC game engine
1040 * changed token names from "last_ce_[1-8]" to "prev_ce_[1-8]"
1043 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
1046 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
1047 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
1048 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
1051 * version number set to 3.2.2
1054 * version 3.2.1 released
1057 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1060 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)

1085 * fixed bug with bumpy scrolling with EM engine in double player mode
1088 * added compatibility code to fix "Snake Bite" style levels that were
1089 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
1092 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1093 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1094 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1095 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1096 block in the element list)
1097 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1098 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1101 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1102 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1105 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1106 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1109 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in
1110 setup menu (input devices section) by using standard button gadgets

1115 key pressed while scrolling the wheel (can be combined with "Shift")
1116 * changed output file "stderr.txt" on Windows platform now always to be
1117 created in the R'n'D sub-directory of the personal documents directory
1118 * added Windows message box to direct to "stderr.txt" after error aborts
1121 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1124 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1125 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1128 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1129 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1130 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1133 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can
1134 affect multiple instances of the same CE, although this kind of
1135 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1138 * version number set to 3.2.1
1141 * version 3.2.0 released
1144 * reorganized level editor element list a bit to match engines better

1161 * fixed bug with level settings being reset in editor and when playing
1162 (some compatibility settings being set not only after level loading)
1163 * fixed crash bug when number of custom graphic frames was set to zero
1164 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1165 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1166 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1169 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1170 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1173 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1174 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code
1177 * added new chunk "NAME" to level file format for level name settings
1178 * added new chunk "NOTE" to level file format for envelope settings
1179 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1180 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1181 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1184 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1185 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1186 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1187 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1190 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1191 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1192 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1195 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1196 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1197 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1198 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1199 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1200 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1201 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1202 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1203 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1204 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1205 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1208 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1209 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1210 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
1211 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time
1212 * changed use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1213 level editor to start of previous or next cascading block of elements
1216 * added the possibility to view the title screen to the info screen menu
1217 * fixed some minor bugs with viewing title screens
1220 * fixed bug with title (cross)fading in/out when using fullscreen mode
1223 * fixed bug that forced re-defining of menu settings in local graphics
1224 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1225 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1228 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1229 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1230 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1233 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1234 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1237 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1240 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes
1241 * fixed bug with creating invisible elements when light switch is on

1253 * fixed handling of over-large selectboxes (less error-prone now)
1254 * fixed bug when creating GE with walkable element under the player
1257 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1258 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
1259 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
1260 - "CE value of triggering element"
1261 - "CE score of triggering element"
1262 - "CE value of current element"
1263 - "CE score of current element"
1266 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1269 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1270 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
1271 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
1272 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
1273 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)
1274 * fixed bug with not scrolling the screen in multi-player mode with the
1275 focus on player 1 when all players are moving in different directions
1276 * fixed bug with keeping pointer to gadget even after its deallocation
1277 * fixed bug with allowing "focus on all players" in network games
1278 * fixed bug with player focus when playing tapes from network games
1281 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-7 binary and source code
1284 * code cleanup for game action control for R'n'D and EMC game engine
1287 * fixed bug in multi-player movement with focus on both players
1288 * added option to control only the focussed player with all input
1291 * added player focus switching to level tape recording and re-playing
1294 * fixed some bugs in player focus switching in EMC and RND game engine
1297 * added special Supaplex animations for Murphy digging and snapping
1298 * added special Supaplex animations for Murphy being bored and sleeping
1301 * added four new yam yams with explicit start direction for EMC engine
1302 * fixed bug in src/libgame/text.c with printing text outside the window
1305 * fixed small bug in EMC level loader (copyright sign in EM II levels)
1308 * added delayed ignition of EM style dynamite when used in R'n'D engine
1309 * added limited movement range to EMC engine when focus on all players
1312 * fixed bug with missing (zero) score values for native Supaplex levels
1315 * added "continuous snapping" (snapping many elements while holding the
1316 snap key pressed, without releasing the snap key after each element)
1317 as a new player setting for more compatibility with the classic games
1320 * finished scrolling for "focus on all players" in EMC graphics engine
1323 * level sets with "levels: 0" are ignored for levels, but not artwork
1324 * fixed bug when scanning empty level group directories (endless loop)
1327 * fixed bug with explosion graphic for player using "Murphy" graphic
1328 * fixed bug with explosion graphic if player leaves explosion in time
1329 * changed some descriptive text in setup menu to use medium-width font
1330 * added key shortcut settings for switching player focus to setup menu
1333 * fixed bug with random value initialization when recording tapes
1334 * fixed bug with playing single player tapes when team mode activated

2152 (like pushing falling elements, but now with moving elements)
2155 * finally fixed serious bug in code for delayed element pushing (again)
2158 * unavailable setup options now marked as "n/a" instead of "off"
2159 * new boolean directive "latest_engine" for "levelinfo.conf": when set
2160 to "true", levels are always played with the latest game engine,
2161 which is desired for levels that are imported from other games; all
2162 other levels are played with the engine version stored in level file
2163 (which is normally the engine version the level was created with)

2285 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2286 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2287 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2288 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2290 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2291 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2292 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2293 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2295 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2296 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2297 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2298 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2299 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2301 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2302 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2304 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2326 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2328 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2329 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2330 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2331 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2333 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2334 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
2337 * version number set to 3.0.1

2363 * version number set to 2.1.1
2366 * version 2.1.0 released
2369 * version number set to 2.1.0
2371 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2372 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2373 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2375 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2376 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2377 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2378 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2379 when pressing the Escape key.)
2381 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2382 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2384 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2385 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2386 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2388 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2389 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2390 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2391 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2393 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2394 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2395 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2396 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2397 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2399 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2400 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2401 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2402 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2403 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2404 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2405 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2406 "pause before end" playing mode).
2408 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2409 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2411 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2412 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2413 to add more setup screens).
2415 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2416 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2417 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2419 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2420 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2421 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2423 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2424 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2425 correspondig changes.
2427 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2428 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2429 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2431 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2432 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2434 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2435 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2436 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2437 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2439 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2440 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2441 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2442 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2443 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2444 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2445 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2447 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2448 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2449 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2450 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2451 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2452 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2453 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2455 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2456 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2457 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2458 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2459 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2460 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2462 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2463 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2464 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2465 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2468 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2471 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2473 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2474 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2476 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2477 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2479 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2480 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2481 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2482 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2484 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2485 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2486 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2487 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2488 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2489 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2492 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2493 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2494 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2495 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2497 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2498 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2499 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2500 hall-of-fame music.)
2502 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2503 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2504 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2506 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2507 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2508 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2510 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2511 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2512 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2514 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2515 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2516 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2517 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2518 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2519 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2520 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2521 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2522 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2523 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2524 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2525 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2526 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2527 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2529 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2530 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2531 in a human readable format.
2533 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2534 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2535 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2536 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2538 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2539 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2540 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2541 StopAnimation() was not called.
2543 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2544 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2545 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2546 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2547 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2548 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2549 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2550 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2551 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2553 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2554 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2556 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2557 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2558 not getting killed by enemies
2560 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2561 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2562 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2564 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2565 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2566 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2567 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2568 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2569 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
