2 * added run-time "special edition" support;
3 this change is especially targeted to the "R'n'D jue" special edition
4 of R'n'D, which changed some defaults at compile-time in previous
6 - using a different default artwork set (with fallback artwork for
7 classic artwork not existing in the special edition),
8 - using a different default level set,
9 - using a different program name and user data directory,
10 - starting with different default setup values and
11 - using custom artwork even at a very early stage of startup
12 (like initial fonts and initial loading/busy animation);
13 these changes can now all be accomplished at run-time by using a new
14 program-specific configuration file in the same location and with the
15 same name as the game binary (minus a potential binary file extension
16 ".exe", plus a configuration file extension ".conf", so a binary file
17 "rnd_jue.exe" would be complemented by a new file "rnd_jue.conf" in
19 this config file can contain all options found in "setup.conf" plus
20 the following new, internal "special edition" default settings:
21 - program_title (like "R'n'D jue")
22 - program_author (like "Juergen Bonhagen")
23 - program_email (like "jue@artsoft.org")
24 - program_website (like "http://jue.artsoft.org/")
25 - program_copyright (like "(c) 2015 by jue")
26 - program_company (like "A game by jue")
27 - default_graphics_set (like "jue0")
28 - default_sounds_set (like "jue0")
29 - default_music_set (like "jue0")
30 - fallback_graphics_file (like "fallback.png")
31 - fallback_sounds_file (like "fallback.wav")
32 - fallback_music_file (like "fallback.wav")
33 - default_level_series (like "jue_start")
34 - choose_from_top_leveldir ("true" or "false")
35 where the "default" artwork set definitions are used to specify new
36 default artwork that replaces the "classic" artwork sets, while the
37 "fallback" settings specify artwork files used for all artwork files
38 that would exist in the classic artwork sets, but are not defined or
39 cannot be found in the new default artwork set; the program title is
40 used for things like window title, title screens and user data folder
41 name, and the entry point for choosing a level set can be changed
42 from the current level set location to the topmost level tree node
45 * added sound definitions for pressing and releasing main menu buttons
48 * fixed slow tape quick-loading due to unneeded tape area update
51 * replaced stop/play buttons in game panel with save/load buttons
54 * added step-based engine snapshots to undo/redo single steps in game
57 * fixed (swapped) editor zoom directions for '-' and '+' (keypad) keys
60 * added dynamically configurable graphics and layout of editor gadgets
63 * fixed (swapped) editor zoom directions for left and right mouse button
66 * added main menu backlink to level set selection screen
69 * added support for gadget-like pressable menu buttons on main screen
72 * added classic graphics, sounds and music to git repository
73 * added classic level sets to git repository
74 * added element description files to git repository
75 * changed mouse cursor on title screens not being always invisible
76 * added manually edited non-preset audio volume values to select list
77 (if sound, loops or music volume was manually edited in "setup.conf")
80 * fixed using "background.TOOLBOX", which was simply ignored before
83 * added key pad '-', '+' and '0' keys to zoom function in level editor
84 * changed editor key shortcut for undo/redo to 'u' and 'Shift-u'
85 * fixed using 'PageUp' and 'PageDown' keys for element list in editor
88 * added 1%, 2% and 5% to volume controls for sound and music settings
91 * fixed bug with editor border element not adjusted after resizing level
92 * changed unused playfield from "default" to "empty" after loading level
93 * increased number of undo/redo steps in level editor from 10 to 64
96 * added zoom functionality for playfield drawing area to level editor
97 (use left, right and middle mouse buttons on new "zoom" toolbox button
98 or use keys '-', '+' and '0' to zoom out, in or reset to default size)
101 * fixed bug not updating game panel values in visible warp forward mode
104 * changed position of CE/GE use/save template gadgets to be visually
105 separated from other CE/GE gadgets (to prevent accidental use)
106 * fixed bug in editor when using undo after rotating level repeatedly
107 * added 'redo' functionality to editor (by pressing 'undo' with right
108 mouse button or by using key shortcut "Shift-R")
111 * added configurability of editor control buttons (toolbox buttons)
114 * finished configurability of tape date and time display positions
115 * fixed bug with game buttons in tape area not properly redrawn
116 * fixed small graphical bug with default tape time display position
117 * added optionally configurable game frame counter to tape display
120 * fixed configurability of editor element palette (for columns != 4)
123 * improved configurability of tape date and time display positions
124 * added configurability of element properties button in editor
125 * added build dependency for auto-conf files
128 * added looking for editor element descriptions in level set directory
129 (for example, in file "<my-level-folder>/docs/elements/custom_1.txt")
132 * moved "element properties" button in editor from toolbox to palette
133 * added "zoom level tile size" button in editor to toolbox (currently
134 no function behind it; will be used to zoom level editor playfield)
135 * added key shortcuts '1' to '3' to view properties of drawing elements
136 * fixed gadget display bug in editor (door 1 area) after test playing
137 * fixed bugs when changing drawing area gadgets (like group elements)
140 * re-enabled editor palette element options in setup configuration file
143 * fixed loading custom PCX image files with default artwork file names
144 (like "RocksDoor.pcx") which are not redefined in artwork config file
145 (this is a special fix for Zelda 2 and probably some other existing
146 level sets which use new graphics which are not defined in the file
147 "graphicsinfo.conf", but use a file name of one of default graphics
148 (like "RocksScreen.pcx"); this did not work anymore for PCX files
149 since the default graphics files have been changed to PNG files, so
150 different file names are checked now (like "RocksScreen.png"), so if
151 the PNG files cannot be found, the old PCX files are also checked)
154 * added some more graphics customization options for the level editor:
155 - editor.button.prev_level (position)
156 - editor.button.next_level (position)
157 - editor.input.level_number (position)
158 - editor.palette.tile_size (tile size for palette elements)
159 - editor.palette.element_left.tile_size (draw element tile size)
160 - editor.palette.element_middle.tile_size (draw element tile size)
161 - editor.palette.element_right.tile_size (draw element tile size)
162 - editor.input.gfx.level_number (current level number input field)
165 * fixed menu display bugs caused by drawing outside menu area (again)
168 * fixed broken door animations when switching between custom graphics
171 * fixed layout for "level set info" to support custom playfield size
172 * fixed changing from title to info screen with custom playfield size
175 * fixed bug with not updating default bitmap pointer for scaled images
176 * fixed redraw/fade bugs when redefining the playfield size or position
179 * fixed some smaller issues with loading custom artwork
182 * added warnings when using undefined element and graphic names in
183 custom artwork definitions (like ".crumbled_like" or ".clone_from")
184 * added setting default filenames for all cloned graphics in static
185 graphics configuration on startup (to be able to fall back later)
188 * fixed using buttons on main screen with size other than 32x32 pixels
189 * fixed some initialization bugs for scrollbars and main screen buttons
190 * fixed bug when drawing non-element graphics (without separate in-game
191 graphic/bitmap defined) while non-standard game tile size is defined
194 * removed some remaining unused X11 stuff
195 * fixed bug with potentially suppressed exit error message on startup
198 * fixed bug not loading tape when selecting level from level selection
199 screen (thanks to filbo for finding this bug and supplying a patch)
202 * fixed menu display bugs (drawing outside menu area with draw offset)
203 * fixed menu key navigation bugs (when using smaller menu list size)
206 * added support for animated door parts during opening/closing movement
209 * added automatic detection of normal/steel character elements in level
210 editor when drawing text (depending on currently selected element)
213 * eliminated historical ISO-8859-1 characters from source code files
214 (but still using them internally for special character encodings)
215 * changed output of special character for level sketch brushes to UTF-8
218 * added handling of unselectable selectbox options and option headlines
221 * fixed bug when changing between graphic sets with different tile size
222 * cleanup of handling the various graphic sizes for different purposes
223 (like 32x32, 16x16 etc.); this change was needed for the bugfix above
226 * added virtual keyboard on Android port when entering player name
229 * fixed "quick menu doors" and sounds for door and envelope requests
232 * fixed display bugs with certain custom menu definitions regarding the
233 hall of fame (high scores) and setup screens that require scrolling
234 (these display bugs showed up with custom menu graphics of R'n'D jue)
237 * fixed bug with animation frames per line with non-standard tile size
238 (relevant for example for 64x64 sized frames continued on next row)
241 * removed checking of file identifier tokens for configuration files
244 * fixed bug where player actions were only mapped in team mode
245 (this broke four tapes in automatic game engine unit test where
246 old levels contained a non-yellow player, like rnd_abby_king, 011)
249 * removed large parts of the preprocessor hell of old and unused code
252 * updated source file headers (mainly author contact information)
255 * added key shortcuts for window scaling and toggling fullscreen mode:
256 - Ctrl-'+', Ctrl-'-' and Ctrl-'0' for up/downscaling and normal size
257 - "F11" key for toggling fullscreen mode (in addition to Alt-Enter)
260 * fixed some drawing bugs when scaling graphics due to "game.tile_size"
261 * added some performance improvements when handling SDL surface scaling
264 * added custom graphics property "game.tile_size" to define in-game tile
265 size (this defines the tile size actually displayed on the playfield);
266 tile graphics will either be scaled to the defined game tile size or
267 have to be specified with the same image size (using ".tile_size")
270 * added custom graphics property ".tile_size" to define tile image size
271 for game element graphics (like "custom_1.tile_size"); non-standard
272 sized images will then be scaled accordingly to standard tile size
275 * fixed music still being played in Android version when in background
278 * added Android "menu" button to be treated as "yes" requester button
279 (while the Android "back" button was already treated as "no" button)
282 * added command line options "--version" / "-V" to show program version
283 (also shows SDL library versions when prefixed with "--debug" option)
286 * error file set to unbuffered to prevent truncation in case of crashes
289 * fixed bug causing wrong screen updates while playing (whole screen
290 update from backbuffer instead of playfield buffer if REDRAW_ALL set)
291 * fixed nasty (typo) bug in native EM engine causing broken player
292 graphics when using different (redefined) playfield size
295 * fixed bug causing EM/EMC graphics sets containing original 16x16 tiles
296 to be displayed incorrectly (with broken scaling) when switching
297 between small and normal game graphics (thanks a lot to filbo for
298 analyzing and describing how to exactly reproduce this bug)
301 * removed MS-DOS support
302 * removed native X11 support (X11 now only supported via SDL/SDL2)
305 * cleanup of functions RedrawPlayfield() and BlitScreenToBitmap()
308 * fixed level redraw after quick-loading tape with small tile graphics
311 * added compatibility code for existing request door animation settings
314 * added ultra-generic, ultra-flexible request door animation handling
317 * fixed major bugs in handling single-player and multi-player tapes
318 (for details, see http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2086)
321 * fixed various problems with playfield and requester/tape/editor doors
322 defined to be at non-standard screen positions in artwork config file
325 * added envelope style requester dialog (alternative to door requester)
328 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
329 * added setup option to select anti-aliasing quality of scaled windows
332 * improved speed of displaying progress when loading levels and artwork
333 * changed fullscreen and window scaling changes in setup menu to have
334 immediate effect (instead of being effective after leaving setup menu)
337 * fixed toons stopping on continuous touch events on Mac OS X
340 * fixed bug when displaying game envelope with even sized playfield
341 * added graphic configuration options for request (dialog) buttons
344 * fixed some redraw bugs with window scaling under Mac OS X
347 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
350 * fixed problems related to fullscreen switching and window scaling
353 * fixed inconsistent custom artwork constants numbering in src/main.h,
354 src/screen.c and src/conf_gfx.c (this really should be cleaned up)
355 (this bug caused custom artwork definition to set wrong variable)
358 * fixed using fullscreen mode on Android instead of pseudo-window mode
359 * fixed keeping desktop fullscreen mode when changing viewport size
362 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
363 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
366 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
367 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
368 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
371 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
374 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
377 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
378 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
381 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
384 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
385 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
388 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
389 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
390 * changed default graphics from PCX to PNG (needed for Android version
391 to prevent painfully slow image loading, although not compressing PCX
392 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
393 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
394 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
397 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
400 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
403 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
406 * version 3.3.1.2 released
409 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
410 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
413 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
414 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
415 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
416 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
419 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
422 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
425 * version 3.3.1.1 released
428 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
429 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
432 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
435 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
438 * version 3.3.1.0 released
441 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
444 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
445 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
446 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
447 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
448 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
449 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
452 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
453 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
456 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
457 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
460 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
461 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
464 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
467 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
468 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
469 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
472 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
473 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
474 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
475 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
476 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
477 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
478 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
481 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
482 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
483 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
484 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
485 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
488 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
489 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
492 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
495 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
496 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
499 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
502 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
505 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
508 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
511 * version 3.3.0.1 released
514 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
515 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
516 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
519 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
522 * version 3.3.0.0 released
525 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
526 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
529 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
530 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
531 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
532 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
533 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
534 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
535 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
536 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
537 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
538 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
539 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
542 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
545 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
548 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
549 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
550 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
553 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
556 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
557 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
560 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
561 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
562 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
563 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
564 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
565 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
566 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
568 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
569 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
570 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
571 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
572 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
573 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
574 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
575 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
576 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
577 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
578 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
579 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
582 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
585 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
588 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
591 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
594 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
595 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
596 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
597 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
598 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
599 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
600 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
601 snapshot loading and saving code
602 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
603 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
604 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
605 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
606 against modification in this case)
607 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
608 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
609 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
610 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
613 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
616 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
617 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
620 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
621 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
624 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
627 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
628 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
629 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
630 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
631 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
632 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
633 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
636 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
637 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
640 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
643 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
644 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
645 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
646 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
647 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
650 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
651 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
652 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
653 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
654 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
655 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
656 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
659 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
660 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
663 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
666 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
667 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
668 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
669 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
670 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
671 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
672 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
673 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
674 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
675 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
678 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
679 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
680 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
681 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
684 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
685 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
686 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
687 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
688 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
691 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
694 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
695 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
696 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
699 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
702 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
703 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
706 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
707 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
708 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
709 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
710 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
711 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
714 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
715 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
716 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
719 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
722 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
725 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
726 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
729 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
730 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
731 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
732 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
735 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
736 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
737 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
738 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
739 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
740 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
743 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
744 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
745 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
748 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
749 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
752 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
755 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
756 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
759 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
762 * version 3.2.6.1 released
765 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
766 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
767 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
768 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
769 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
772 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
773 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
774 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
777 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
778 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
779 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
782 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
783 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
784 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
787 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
790 * version 3.2.6.0 released
793 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
794 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
795 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
798 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
799 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
800 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
801 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
802 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
803 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
804 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
805 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
806 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
807 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
808 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
809 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
810 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
811 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
814 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
817 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
818 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
819 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
820 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
823 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
826 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
827 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
828 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
829 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
830 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
831 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
834 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
837 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
840 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
841 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
842 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
845 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
846 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
847 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
848 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
849 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
850 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
851 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
852 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
855 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
856 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
859 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
860 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
863 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
864 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
867 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
868 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
869 but with the following differences:
870 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
871 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
874 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
875 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
878 - explosion of <element>
880 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
881 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
884 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
885 in UpdateGameControlValues()
886 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
887 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
890 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
891 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
894 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
895 element change pages not being recognized
896 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
897 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
898 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
899 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
900 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
903 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
906 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
907 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
910 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
911 normal, destructible wall
912 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
913 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
916 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
917 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
920 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
923 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
926 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
927 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
928 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
931 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
932 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
933 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
936 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
937 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
938 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
939 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
940 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
941 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
942 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
943 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
944 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
945 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
946 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
949 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
950 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
951 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
952 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
953 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
956 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
959 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
960 current levels current high score in the game panel
963 * version number set to 3.2.5
966 * version 3.2.4 released
969 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
972 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
975 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
976 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
977 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
978 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
979 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
982 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
983 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
986 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
987 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
988 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
989 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
990 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
991 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
992 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
993 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
996 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
999 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
1000 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
1001 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
1002 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
1003 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
1004 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
1005 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
1006 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
1007 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
1008 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
1009 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
1010 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
1011 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
1012 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
1013 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
1014 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
1015 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
1018 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
1019 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
1022 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
1025 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
1026 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
1027 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
1030 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
1031 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
1034 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
1035 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
1036 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
1039 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
1040 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
1043 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
1046 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
1047 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
1048 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
1049 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
1050 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
1051 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
1052 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
1053 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
1054 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
1055 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
1056 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
1057 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
1058 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
1059 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
1060 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
1061 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
1062 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
1065 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
1066 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
1067 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
1070 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
1071 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
1072 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
1073 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
1076 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
1079 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
1080 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
1081 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
1084 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
1085 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
1086 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
1087 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
1088 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
1091 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
1094 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
1097 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
1098 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
1099 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
1102 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
1103 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
1104 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
1105 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
1106 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
1107 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
1108 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
1111 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
1114 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
1115 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
1116 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
1117 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
1118 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
1121 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
1124 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
1125 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
1126 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
1127 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
1128 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
1131 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
1132 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
1133 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
1136 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
1137 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
1140 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
1141 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
1142 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
1143 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
1145 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
1146 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
1149 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
1150 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
1151 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
1152 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
1153 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
1154 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
1155 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
1156 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
1157 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
1159 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
1160 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
1161 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
1163 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
1164 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1165 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1166 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1167 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1169 to define the title screen images:
1170 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1171 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1173 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
1174 directory that have the following file names:
1175 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1176 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1178 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
1179 that affect all text messages:
1180 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
1181 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
1182 or use directives that affect single text messages:
1183 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1184 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1186 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
1187 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
1188 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
1191 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
1192 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
1193 - readme.y: <top position>
1194 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
1195 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
1196 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
1197 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
1198 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
1199 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
1200 - readme.font: font name
1201 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
1202 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
1203 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
1204 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
1205 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
1206 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
1207 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
1208 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
1209 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
1210 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
1211 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
1212 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
1213 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
1214 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
1215 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
1216 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
1217 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
1218 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
1219 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
1220 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
1221 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
1222 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
1223 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
1224 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
1225 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
1226 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
1229 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
1232 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
1233 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
1236 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
1237 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
1238 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
1241 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
1242 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
1243 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
1244 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
1245 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
1246 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
1247 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
1250 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
1253 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
1254 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
1255 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
1258 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
1261 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
1262 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
1263 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
1264 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
1265 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
1268 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
1269 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
1272 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
1275 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
1276 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
1279 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
1280 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
1283 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
1286 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
1289 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
1290 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1291 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
1292 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
1293 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
1294 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
1298 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
1299 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
1302 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1303 - growing steel walls
1304 - snappable land mine
1307 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1308 - steel text elements
1311 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
1314 * version number set to 3.2.4
1317 * version 3.2.3 released
1320 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
1321 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
1322 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
1323 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
1326 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
1329 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
1330 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
1333 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
1334 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
1335 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
1336 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)

1500 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event

1603 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1604 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1605 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1606 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1607 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1608 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1609 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1610 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1611 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1612 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1615 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing

1673 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1676 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of

2811 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2812 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2813 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2814 * added support for TrueColor PCX graphics files
2815 * enhanced sound system (especially regarding stereo and loop sounds)
2817 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2818 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2819 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2820 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2821 when pressing the Escape key.)
2823 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2824 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2826 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2827 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2828 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2830 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2831 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2832 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2833 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2835 2002-04-01 src/libgame/misc.c
2836 * Added (currently incomplete) function "getKeyFromKeyName()" simply
2837 for orthogonality. When really needed, this function must be
2838 extended accordingly (analog to "getKeyFromX11KeyName()").
2840 2002-04-01 src/libgame/setup.c
2841 * Changed setup "TYPE_KEY" (internal, X11 style key symbol name) to
2842 "TYPE_KEY_X11" and added "TYPE_KEY" (human readable key symbol name).
2843 (This was needed for custom key setup handling in "src/screens.c".)
2845 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2846 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2847 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2848 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2849 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2851 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2852 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2853 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2854 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2855 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2856 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2857 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2858 "pause before end" playing mode).
2860 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2861 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2863 2002-03-30 src/libgame/toons.c
2864 * New libgame source file "toons.c" for the program independant part
2867 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2868 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2869 to add more setup screens).
2871 2002-03-29 src/libgame/setup.c
2872 * Changed "LoadLevelInfoFromLevelDir()" so that not only directories
2873 with level sub-directories are recognized, but also directories
2874 that directly contain level files.
2876 2002-03-29 src/libgame/sound.c
2877 * Changed "boolean stereo = TRUE;" to "static boolean stereo = TRUE;".
2878 (This was a bug that showed up only when in mono audio mode.)
2880 2002-03-24 src/libgame/x11.c, src/libgame/sdl.c, src/libgame/image.c
2881 * Changed image loading code to not exit on error, but set error by
2882 using "SetError()" accordingly. Image loading errors must now be
2883 catched by above layers (src/init.c for example).
2885 2002-03-24 src/libgame/misc.c
2886 * New functions "SetError()" and "GetError()" to provide more
2887 flexible error handling.
2889 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2890 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2891 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2893 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2894 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2895 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2897 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2898 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2899 correspondig changes.
2901 2002-03-23 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/system.h
2902 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new files "setup.c"
2905 2002-03-23 src/libgame/setup.c
2906 * New libgame source file "setup.c" that contains now most setup and
2907 level directory stuff previously handled in "src/files.c".
2909 2002-03-23 src/libgame/joystick.c
2910 * New libgame source file "joystick.c" that contains now all joystick
2911 stuff previously handled in "src/joystick.c" of "Rocks'n'Diamonds".
2913 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2914 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2915 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2917 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2918 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2920 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2921 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2922 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2923 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2925 2002-03-22 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/sound.c
2926 * Added command line option "-s" / "--sounds" and "-m" / "--music"
2927 to specify alternative sound and music directories. (The former
2928 shortcut "-s" for "--serveronly" has changed accordingly.)
2930 2002-03-22 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2931 * Added new gadget events for displaying gadget info texts:
2932 "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING" and "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING". Before,
2933 the info text callback function was only called when entering
2934 a gadget (implicit "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING"). But the info text
2935 was never erased. This can now be done by checking the event type
2936 in the info callback function.
2938 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2939 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2940 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2941 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2942 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2943 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2944 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2946 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2947 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2948 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2949 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2950 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2951 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2952 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2954 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2955 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2956 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2957 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2958 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2959 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2961 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2962 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2963 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2964 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2966 2002-03-20 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2967 * "va_arg(ap, boolean)" changed to "(boolean)va_arg(ap, int)";
2968 this caused problems especially on PowerPC architecture (although
2969 it is wrong on i386 and other architectures, too)
2971 2002-03-20 src/libgame/pcx.c, src/libgame/image.c
2972 * Added support for loading and displaying true-color PCX files.
2974 2002-03-20 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/x11.c
2975 * Added command line option "-g" / "--graphics" to specify an
2976 alternative graphics directory.
2979 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2982 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2984 2002-03-19 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/sdl.c [src/tools.c]
2985 * Moved function "GetPixel()" from src/tools.c ("Mirror Magic" code)
2986 to libgame source files; needed for SDL fullscreen bug workaround
2989 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2990 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2992 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2993 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2995 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2996 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2997 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2998 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
3000 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
3001 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
3003 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
3004 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
3005 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
3006 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
3008 2002-03-17 src/files.c
3009 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
3010 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
3011 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
3012 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
3013 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
3016 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
3017 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
3018 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
3019 with different format, for example after adding new features).
3021 2002-03-17 src/libgame/sound.c
3022 * Bug in "StopMusic()" fixed: SDL_mixer functions may be called
3023 even when sound not available.
3024 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
3026 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
3027 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
3028 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
3029 hall-of-fame music.)
3031 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sound.c, src/libgame/platform.h
3032 * Added /dev/dsp (streaming audio) support for NetBSD (instead of the
3033 /dev/audio (ulaw) based Unix audio interface).
3034 Thanks to Krister Walfridsson <cato@df.lth.se> for the patches.
3036 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sdl.c
3037 * Workaround for fullscreen bug in WIN32 version of SDL (at least
3038 in the currently actual version 1.2.3) by using "standard" screen
3039 resolutions like 800x600 and mapping all input (mouse events) and
3040 output (screen drawing) accordingly.
3042 2002-03-14 src/events.c
3043 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
3044 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
3046 2002-03-14 src/game.c
3047 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
3048 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
3050 2002-03-14 src/files.c
3051 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
3052 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
3054 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
3055 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
3056 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
3057 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
3058 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
3059 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
3060 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
3061 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
3062 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
3063 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
3064 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
3065 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
3066 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
3067 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
3069 2002-03-14 src/files.c
3070 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
3071 in a human readable format.
3073 2002-03-14 src/game.c
3074 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
3075 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
3076 loaded as a tape for the new level.
3078 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
3079 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
3080 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
3081 StopAnimation() was not called.
3083 2002-03-13 src/files.c
3084 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
3085 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
3086 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
3087 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
3088 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
3089 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
3090 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
3091 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
3093 2002-03-13 src/files.c
3094 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
3096 2002-03-12 src/game.c
3097 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
3098 not getting killed by enemies
3100 2002-02-28 src/libgame/sound.c
3101 * Fixed small problem with new SDL_Mixer 1.2.1:
3102 Mix_VolumeMusic() must be called _after_ Mix_PlayMusic(),
3103 or it has no effect.
3105 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
3106 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
3107 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
3109 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
3110 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
3111 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
3112 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
3113 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
3114 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
