2 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
3 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
6 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
7 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
8 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
11 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
14 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
17 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
18 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
21 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
24 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
25 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
28 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
29 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
30 * changed default graphics vom PCX to PNG (needed for Android version to
31 prevent painfully slow loading of images, although not compressing PCX
32 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
33 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
34 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
37 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
40 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
43 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
46 * version 3.3.1.2 released
49 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
50 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
53 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
54 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
55 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
56 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
59 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
62 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
65 * version 3.3.1.1 released
68 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
69 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
72 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
75 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
78 * version 3.3.1.0 released
81 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
84 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
85 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
86 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
87 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
88 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
89 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
92 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
93 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
96 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
97 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
100 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
101 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
104 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
107 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
108 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
109 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
112 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
113 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
114 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
115 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
116 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
117 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
118 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
121 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
122 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
123 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
124 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
125 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
128 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
129 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
132 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
135 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
136 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
139 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
142 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
145 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
148 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
151 * version 3.3.0.1 released
154 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
155 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
156 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
159 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
162 * version 3.3.0.0 released
165 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
166 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
169 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
170 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
171 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
172 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
173 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
174 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
175 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
176 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
177 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
178 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
179 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
182 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
185 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
188 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
189 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
190 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
193 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
196 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
197 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
200 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
201 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
202 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
203 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
204 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
205 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
206 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
208 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
209 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
210 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
211 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
212 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
213 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
214 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
215 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
216 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
217 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
218 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
219 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
222 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
225 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
228 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
231 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
234 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
235 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
236 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
237 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
238 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
239 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
240 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
241 snapshot loading and saving code
242 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
243 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
244 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
245 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
246 against modification in this case)
247 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
248 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
249 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
250 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
253 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
256 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
257 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
260 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
261 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
264 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
267 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
268 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
269 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
270 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
271 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
272 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
273 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
276 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
277 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
280 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
283 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
284 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
285 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
286 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
287 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
290 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
291 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
292 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
293 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
294 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
295 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
296 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
299 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
300 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
303 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
306 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
307 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
308 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
309 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
310 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
311 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
312 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
313 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
314 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
315 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
318 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
319 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
320 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
321 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
324 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
325 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
326 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
327 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
328 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
331 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
334 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
335 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
336 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
339 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
342 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
343 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
346 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
347 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
348 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
349 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
350 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
351 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
354 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
355 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
356 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
359 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
362 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
365 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
366 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
369 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
370 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
371 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
372 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
375 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
376 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
377 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
378 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
379 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
380 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
383 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
384 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
385 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
388 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
389 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
392 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
395 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
396 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
399 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
402 * version 3.2.6.1 released
405 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
406 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
407 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
408 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
409 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
412 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
413 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
414 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
417 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
418 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
419 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
422 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
423 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
424 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
427 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
430 * version 3.2.6.0 released
433 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
434 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
435 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
438 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
439 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
440 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
441 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
442 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
443 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
444 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
445 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
446 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
447 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
448 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
449 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
450 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
451 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
454 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
457 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
458 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
459 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
460 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
463 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
466 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
467 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
468 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
469 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
470 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
471 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
474 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
477 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
480 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
481 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
482 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
485 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
486 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
487 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
488 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
489 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
490 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
491 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
492 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
495 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
496 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
499 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
500 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
503 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
504 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
507 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
508 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
509 but with the following differences:
510 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
511 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
514 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
515 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
518 - explosion of <element>
520 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
521 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
524 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
525 in UpdateGameControlValues()
526 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
527 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
530 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
531 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
534 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
535 element change pages not being recognized
536 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
537 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
538 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
539 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
540 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
543 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
546 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
547 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
550 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
551 normal, destructible wall
552 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
553 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
556 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
557 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
560 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
563 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
566 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
567 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
568 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
571 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
572 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
573 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
576 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
577 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
578 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
579 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
580 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
581 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
582 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
583 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
584 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
585 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
586 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
589 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
590 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
591 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
592 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
593 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
596 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
599 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
600 current levels current high score in the game panel
603 * version number set to 3.2.5
606 * version 3.2.4 released
609 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
612 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
615 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
616 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
617 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
618 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
619 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
622 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
623 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
626 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
627 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
628 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
629 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
630 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
631 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
632 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
633 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
636 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
639 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
640 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
641 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
642 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
643 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
644 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
645 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
646 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
647 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
648 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
649 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
650 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
651 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
652 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
653 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
654 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
655 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
658 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
659 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
662 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
665 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
666 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
667 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
670 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
671 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
674 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
675 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
676 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
679 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
680 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
683 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
686 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
687 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
688 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
689 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
690 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
691 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
692 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
693 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
694 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
695 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
696 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
697 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
698 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
699 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
700 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
701 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
702 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
705 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
706 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
707 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
710 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
711 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
712 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
713 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
716 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
719 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
720 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
721 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
724 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
725 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
726 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
727 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
728 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
731 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
734 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
737 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
738 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
739 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
742 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
743 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
744 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
745 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
746 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
747 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
748 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
751 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
754 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
755 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
756 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
757 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
758 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
761 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
764 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
765 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
766 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
767 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
768 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
771 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
772 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
773 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
776 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
777 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
780 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
781 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
782 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
783 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
785 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
786 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
789 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
790 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
791 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
792 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
793 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
794 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
795 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
796 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
797 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
799 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
800 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
801 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
803 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
804 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
805 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
806 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
807 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
809 to define the title screen images:
810 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
811 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
813 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
814 directory that have the following file names:
815 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
816 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
818 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
819 that affect all text messages:
820 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
821 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
822 or use directives that affect single text messages:
823 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
824 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
826 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
827 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
828 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
831 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
832 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
833 - readme.y: <top position>
834 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
835 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
836 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
837 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
838 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
839 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
840 - readme.font: font name
841 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
842 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
843 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
844 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
845 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
846 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
847 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
848 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
849 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
850 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
851 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
852 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
853 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
854 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
855 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
856 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
857 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
858 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
859 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
860 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
861 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
862 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
863 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
864 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
865 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
866 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
869 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
872 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
873 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
876 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
877 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
878 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
881 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
882 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
883 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
884 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
885 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
886 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
887 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
890 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
893 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
894 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
895 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
898 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
901 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
902 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
903 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
904 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
905 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
908 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
909 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
912 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
915 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
916 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
919 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
920 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
923 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
926 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
929 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
930 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
931 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
932 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
933 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
934 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
938 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
939 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
942 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
943 - growing steel walls
944 - snappable land mine
947 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
948 - steel text elements
951 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
954 * version number set to 3.2.4
957 * version 3.2.3 released
960 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
961 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
962 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
963 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
966 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
969 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
970 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
973 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
974 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
975 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
976 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
977 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
980 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
981 screen fading is disabled
984 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
985 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
986 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
987 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
990 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
993 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
996 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
999 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
1002 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
1005 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
1006 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
1007 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
1008 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
1011 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
1012 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
1013 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
1014 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
1015 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
1016 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
1017 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
1020 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
1023 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
1026 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
1027 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
1028 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
1029 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
1030 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
1031 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1032 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1033 fading mode can also be specified:
1034 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1035 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1036 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
1037 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
1038 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
1041 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
1044 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
1045 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
1046 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1047 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1050 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1053 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1054 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
1055 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
1056 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
1057 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
1060 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
1061 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
1064 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
1065 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
1068 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
1069 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
1072 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
1073 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
1074 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
1075 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)
1076 * fixed bug with quick-saving tape snapshot despite answering with "no"
1079 * version number set to 3.2.3
1082 * version 3.2.2 released
1085 * fixed bug with redrawing screen in fullscreen mode after quick tape
1086 reloading when using the EMC game engine
1087 * changed token names from "last_ce_[1-8]" to "prev_ce_[1-8]"
1090 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
1093 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
1094 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
1095 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
1098 * version number set to 3.2.2
1101 * version 3.2.1 released
1104 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1107 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)

1129 * fixed small bug with time displayed incorrectly when collecting CEs
1132 * fixed bug with bumpy scrolling with EM engine in double player mode
1135 * added compatibility code to fix "Snake Bite" style levels that were
1136 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
1139 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1140 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1141 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1142 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1143 block in the element list)
1144 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1145 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1148 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1149 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1152 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1153 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1156 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in

1159 * added support for scrolling horizontal scrollbars with mouse wheel by
1160 holding "Shift" key pressed while scrolling the wheel
1161 * added support for single step mouse wheel scrolling by holding "Alt"
1162 key pressed while scrolling the wheel (can be combined with "Shift")
1163 * changed output file "stderr.txt" on Windows platform now always to be
1164 created in the R'n'D sub-directory of the personal documents directory
1165 * added Windows message box to direct to "stderr.txt" after error aborts
1168 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1171 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1172 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1175 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1176 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1177 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1180 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can
1181 affect multiple instances of the same CE, although this kind of
1182 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1185 * version number set to 3.2.1
1188 * version 3.2.0 released
1191 * reorganized level editor element list a bit to match engines better
1194 * fixed newly introduced bug with wrongly initializing clipboard element

1204 * fixed bug with displaying running player when player stopped at border
1207 * fixed bug with player exploding when moving into acid
1208 * fixed bug with level settings being reset in editor and when playing
1209 (some compatibility settings being set not only after level loading)
1210 * fixed crash bug when number of custom graphic frames was set to zero
1211 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1212 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1213 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1216 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1217 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1220 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1221 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code
1224 * added new chunk "NAME" to level file format for level name settings
1225 * added new chunk "NOTE" to level file format for envelope settings
1226 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1227 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1228 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1231 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1232 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1233 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1234 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1237 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1238 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1239 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1242 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1243 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1244 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1245 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1246 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1247 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1248 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1249 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1250 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1251 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1252 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1255 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1256 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1257 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
1258 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time
1259 * changed use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1260 level editor to start of previous or next cascading block of elements
1263 * added the possibility to view the title screen to the info screen menu
1264 * fixed some minor bugs with viewing title screens
1267 * fixed bug with title (cross)fading in/out when using fullscreen mode
1270 * fixed bug that forced re-defining of menu settings in local graphics
1271 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1272 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1275 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1276 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1277 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1280 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1281 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1284 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1287 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes
1288 * fixed bug with creating invisible elements when light switch is on
1291 * added selection between ECS and AGA graphics for EMC levels to setup
1294 * adjusted font handling for various narrow EMC style fonts
1297 * changed EM engine behaviour back to re-allow initial rolling springs
1300 * fixed handling of over-large selectboxes (less error-prone now)
1301 * fixed bug when creating GE with walkable element under the player
1304 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1305 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
1306 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
1307 - "CE value of triggering element"
1308 - "CE score of triggering element"
1309 - "CE value of current element"
1310 - "CE score of current element"
1313 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1316 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1317 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
1318 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
1319 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
1320 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)
1321 * fixed bug with not scrolling the screen in multi-player mode with the
1322 focus on player 1 when all players are moving in different directions
1323 * fixed bug with keeping pointer to gadget even after its deallocation
1324 * fixed bug with allowing "focus on all players" in network games
1325 * fixed bug with player focus when playing tapes from network games
1328 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-7 binary and source code
1331 * code cleanup for game action control for R'n'D and EMC game engine
1334 * fixed bug in multi-player movement with focus on both players

2205 * unavailable setup options now marked as "n/a" instead of "off"
2206 * new boolean directive "latest_engine" for "levelinfo.conf": when set

2332 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2333 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2334 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2335 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2337 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2338 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2339 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2340 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2342 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2343 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2344 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2345 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2346 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2348 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2349 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2351 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2373 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2375 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2376 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2377 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2378 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2380 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2381 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
2384 * version number set to 3.0.1

2407 * version 2.1.1 released
2410 * version number set to 2.1.1
2413 * version 2.1.0 released
2416 * version number set to 2.1.0
2418 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2419 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2420 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2422 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2423 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2424 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2425 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2426 when pressing the Escape key.)
2428 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2429 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2431 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2432 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2433 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2435 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2436 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2437 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2438 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2440 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2441 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2442 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2443 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2444 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2446 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2447 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2448 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2449 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2450 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2451 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2452 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2453 "pause before end" playing mode).
2455 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2456 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2458 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2459 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2460 to add more setup screens).
2462 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2463 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2464 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2466 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2467 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2468 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2470 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2471 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2472 correspondig changes.
2474 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2475 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2476 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2478 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2479 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2481 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2482 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2483 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2484 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2486 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2487 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2488 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2489 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2490 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2491 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2492 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2494 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2495 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2496 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2497 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2498 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2499 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2500 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2502 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2503 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2504 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2505 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2506 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2507 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2509 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2510 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2511 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2512 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2515 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2518 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2520 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2521 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2523 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2524 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2526 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2527 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2528 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2529 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2531 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2532 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2533 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2534 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2535 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2536 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2539 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2540 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2541 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2542 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2544 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2545 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2546 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2547 hall-of-fame music.)
2549 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2550 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2551 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2553 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2554 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2555 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2557 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2558 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2559 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2561 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2562 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2563 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2564 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2565 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2566 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2567 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2568 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2569 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2570 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2571 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2572 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2573 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2574 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2576 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2577 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2578 in a human readable format.
2580 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2581 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2582 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2583 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2585 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2586 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2587 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2588 StopAnimation() was not called.
2590 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2591 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2592 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2593 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2594 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2595 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2596 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2597 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2598 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2600 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2601 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2603 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2604 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2605 not getting killed by enemies
2607 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2608 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2609 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2611 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2612 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2613 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2614 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2615 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2616 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
