2 * fixed music still being played in Android version when in background
5 * added Android "menu" button to be treated as "yes" requester button
6 (while the Android "back" button was already treated as "no" button)
9 * added command line options "--version" / "-V" to show program version
10 (also shows SDL library versions when prefixed with "--debug" option)
13 * error file set to unbuffered to prevent truncation in case of crashes
16 * fixed bug causing wrong screen updates while playing (whole screen
17 update from backbuffer instead of playfield buffer if REDRAW_ALL set)
18 * fixed nasty (typo) bug in native EM engine causing broken player
19 graphics when using different (redefined) playfield size
22 * fixed bug causing EM/EMC graphics sets containing original 16x16 tiles
23 to be displayed incorrectly (with broken scaling) when switching
24 between small and normal game graphics (thanks a lot to filbo for
25 analyzing and describing how to exactly reproduce this bug)
28 * removed MS-DOS support
29 * removed native X11 support (X11 now only supported via SDL/SDL2)
32 * cleanup of functions RedrawPlayfield() and BlitScreenToBitmap()
35 * fixed level redraw after quick-loading tape with small tile graphics
38 * added compatibility code for existing request door animation settings
41 * added ultra-generic, ultra-flexible request door animation handling
44 * fixed major bugs in handling single-player and multi-player tapes
45 (for details, see http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2086)
48 * fixed various problems with playfield and requester/tape/editor doors
49 defined to be at non-standard screen positions in artwork config file
52 * added envelope style requester dialog (alternative to door requester)
55 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
56 * added setup option to select anti-aliasing quality of scaled windows
59 * improved speed of displaying progress when loading levels and artwork
60 * changed fullscreen and window scaling changes in setup menu to have
61 immediate effect (instead of being effective after leaving setup menu)
64 * fixed toons stopping on continuous touch events on Mac OS X
67 * fixed bug when displaying game envelope with even sized playfield
68 * added graphic configuration options for request (dialog) buttons
71 * fixed some redraw bugs with window scaling under Mac OS X
74 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
77 * fixed problems related to fullscreen switching and window scaling
80 * fixed inconsistent custom artwork constants numbering in src/main.h,
81 src/screen.c and src/conf_gfx.c (this really should be cleaned up)
82 (this bug caused custom artwork definition to set wrong variable)
85 * fixed using fullscreen mode on Android instead of pseudo-window mode
86 * fixed keeping desktop fullscreen mode when changing viewport size
89 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
90 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
93 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
94 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
95 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
98 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
101 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
104 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
105 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
108 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
111 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
112 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
115 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
116 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
117 * changed default graphics from PCX to PNG (needed for Android version
118 to prevent painfully slow image loading, although not compressing PCX
119 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
120 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
121 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
124 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
127 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
130 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
133 * version 3.3.1.2 released
136 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
137 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
140 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
141 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
142 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
143 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
146 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
149 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
152 * version 3.3.1.1 released
155 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
156 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
159 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
162 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
165 * version 3.3.1.0 released
168 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
171 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
172 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
173 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
174 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
175 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
176 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
179 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
180 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
183 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
184 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
187 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
188 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
191 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
194 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
195 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
196 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
199 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
200 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
201 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
202 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
203 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
204 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
205 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
208 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
209 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
210 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
211 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
212 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
215 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
216 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
219 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
222 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
223 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
226 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
229 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
232 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
235 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
238 * version 3.3.0.1 released
241 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
242 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
243 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
246 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
249 * version 3.3.0.0 released
252 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
253 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
256 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
257 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
258 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
259 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
260 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
261 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
262 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
263 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
264 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
265 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
266 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
269 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
272 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
275 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
276 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
277 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
280 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
283 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
284 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
287 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
288 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
289 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
290 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
291 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
292 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
293 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
295 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
296 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
297 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
298 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
299 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
300 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
301 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
302 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
303 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
304 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
305 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
306 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
309 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
312 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
315 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
318 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
321 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
322 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
323 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
324 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
325 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
326 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
327 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
328 snapshot loading and saving code
329 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
330 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
331 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
332 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
333 against modification in this case)
334 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
335 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
336 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
337 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
340 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
343 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
344 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
347 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
348 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
351 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
354 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
355 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
356 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
357 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
358 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
359 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
360 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
363 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
364 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
367 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
370 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
371 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
372 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
373 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
374 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
377 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
378 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
379 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
380 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
381 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
382 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
383 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
386 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
387 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
390 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
393 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
394 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
395 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
396 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
397 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
398 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
399 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
400 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
401 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
402 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
405 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
406 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
407 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
408 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
411 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
412 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
413 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
414 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
415 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
418 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
421 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
422 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
423 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
426 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
429 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
430 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
433 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
434 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
435 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
436 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
437 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
438 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
441 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
442 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
443 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
446 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
449 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
452 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
453 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
456 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
457 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
458 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
459 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
462 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
463 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
464 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
465 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
466 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
467 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
470 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
471 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
472 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
475 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
476 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
479 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
482 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
483 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
486 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
489 * version 3.2.6.1 released
492 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
493 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
494 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
495 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
496 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
499 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
500 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
501 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
504 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
505 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
506 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
509 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
510 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
511 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
514 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
517 * version 3.2.6.0 released
520 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
521 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
522 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
525 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
526 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
527 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
528 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
529 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
530 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
531 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
532 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
533 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
534 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
535 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
536 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
537 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
538 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
541 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
544 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
545 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
546 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
547 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
550 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
553 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
554 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
555 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
556 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
557 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
558 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
561 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
564 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
567 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
568 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
569 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
572 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
573 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
574 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
575 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
576 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
577 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
578 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
579 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
582 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
583 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
586 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
587 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
590 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
591 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
594 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
595 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
596 but with the following differences:
597 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
598 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
601 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
602 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
605 - explosion of <element>
607 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
608 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
611 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
612 in UpdateGameControlValues()
613 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
614 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
617 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
618 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
621 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
622 element change pages not being recognized
623 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
624 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
625 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
626 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
627 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
630 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
633 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
634 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
637 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
638 normal, destructible wall
639 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
640 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
643 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
644 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
647 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
650 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
653 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
654 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
655 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
658 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
659 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
660 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
663 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
664 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
665 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
666 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
667 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
668 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
669 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
670 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
671 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
672 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
673 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
676 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
677 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
678 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
679 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
680 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
683 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
686 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
687 current levels current high score in the game panel
690 * version number set to 3.2.5
693 * version 3.2.4 released
696 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
699 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
702 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
703 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
704 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
705 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
706 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
709 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
710 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
713 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
714 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
715 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
716 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
717 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
718 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
719 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
720 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
723 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
726 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
727 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
728 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
729 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
730 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
731 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
732 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
733 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
734 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
735 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
736 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
737 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
738 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
739 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
740 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
741 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
742 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
745 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
746 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
749 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
752 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
753 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
754 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
757 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
758 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
761 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
762 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
763 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
766 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
767 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
770 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
773 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
774 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
775 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
776 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
777 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
778 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
779 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
780 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
781 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
782 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
783 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
784 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
785 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
786 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
787 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
788 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
789 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
792 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
793 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
794 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
797 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
798 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
799 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
800 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
803 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
806 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
807 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
808 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
811 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
812 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
813 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
814 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
815 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
818 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
821 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
824 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
825 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
826 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
829 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
830 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
831 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
832 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
833 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
834 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
835 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
838 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
841 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
842 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
843 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
844 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
845 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
848 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
851 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
852 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
853 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
854 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
855 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
858 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
859 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
860 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
863 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
864 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
867 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
868 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
869 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
870 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
872 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
873 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
876 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
877 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
878 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
879 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
880 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
881 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
882 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
883 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
884 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
886 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
887 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
888 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
890 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
891 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
892 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
893 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
894 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
896 to define the title screen images:
897 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
898 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
900 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
901 directory that have the following file names:
902 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
903 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
905 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
906 that affect all text messages:
907 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
908 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
909 or use directives that affect single text messages:
910 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
911 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
913 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
914 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
915 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
918 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
919 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
920 - readme.y: <top position>
921 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
922 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
923 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
924 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
925 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
926 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
927 - readme.font: font name
928 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
929 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
930 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
931 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
932 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
933 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
934 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
935 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
936 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
937 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
938 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
939 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
940 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
941 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
942 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
943 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
944 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
945 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
946 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
947 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
948 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
949 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
950 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
951 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
952 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
953 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
956 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
959 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
960 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
963 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
964 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
965 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
968 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
969 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
970 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
971 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
972 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
973 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
974 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
977 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
980 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
981 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
982 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
985 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
988 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
989 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
990 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
991 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
992 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
995 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
996 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
999 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
1002 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
1003 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
1006 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
1007 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
1010 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
1013 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
1016 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
1017 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1018 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
1019 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
1020 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
1021 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
1025 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
1026 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
1029 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1030 - growing steel walls
1031 - snappable land mine
1034 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1035 - steel text elements
1038 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
1041 * version number set to 3.2.4
1044 * version 3.2.3 released
1047 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
1048 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
1049 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
1050 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
1053 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
1056 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
1057 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
1060 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
1061 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
1062 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
1063 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
1064 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
1067 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
1068 screen fading is disabled
1071 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
1072 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
1073 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
1074 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
1077 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
1080 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
1083 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
1086 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
1089 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
1092 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
1093 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
1094 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
1095 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
1098 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
1099 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
1100 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
1101 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
1102 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
1103 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
1104 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
1107 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
1110 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
1113 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
1114 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
1115 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
1116 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
1117 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
1118 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1119 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1120 fading mode can also be specified:
1121 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1122 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1123 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
1124 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
1125 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
1128 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
1131 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
1132 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
1133 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1134 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1137 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1140 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1141 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
1142 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
1143 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
1144 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
1147 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
1148 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
1151 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
1152 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
1155 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
1156 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
1159 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
1160 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
1161 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
1162 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)
1163 * fixed bug with quick-saving tape snapshot despite answering with "no"
1166 * version number set to 3.2.3
1169 * version 3.2.2 released
1172 * fixed bug with redrawing screen in fullscreen mode after quick tape
1173 reloading when using the EMC game engine
1174 * changed token names from "last_ce_[1-8]" to "prev_ce_[1-8]"
1177 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
1180 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
1181 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
1182 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
1185 * version number set to 3.2.2
1188 * version 3.2.1 released
1191 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1194 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)
1197 * fixed bug that caused broken tapes when manually appending to tapes
1198 using the "pause before death" functionality, followed by recording
1199 * added setup option to disable fading of screens for faster testing
1202 * code cleanup of new fading functions
1205 * changed behaviour after solved game -- do not immediately stop engine
1206 * added some more smooth screen fadings (game start, hall of fame etc.)
1209 * fixed bug with displaying pushed CE with value/score/delay anim_mode
1212 * added configurable level preview position, tile size and dimensions
1213 * added configurable game panel value positions (gems, time, score etc.)
1216 * fixed small bug with time displayed incorrectly when collecting CEs
1219 * fixed bug with bumpy scrolling with EM engine in double player mode
1222 * added compatibility code to fix "Snake Bite" style levels that were
1223 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
1226 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1227 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1228 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1229 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1230 block in the element list)
1231 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1232 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1235 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1236 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1239 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1240 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1243 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in
1244 setup menu (input devices section) by using standard button gadgets
1245 * added support for mouse scroll wheel (caused buggy behaviour before)
1246 * added support for scrolling horizontal scrollbars with mouse wheel by
1247 holding "Shift" key pressed while scrolling the wheel
1248 * added support for single step mouse wheel scrolling by holding "Alt"
1249 key pressed while scrolling the wheel (can be combined with "Shift")
1250 * changed output file "stderr.txt" on Windows platform now always to be
1251 created in the R'n'D sub-directory of the personal documents directory
1252 * added Windows message box to direct to "stderr.txt" after error aborts
1255 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1258 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1259 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1262 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1263 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1264 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1267 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can
1268 affect multiple instances of the same CE, although this kind of
1269 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1272 * version number set to 3.2.1
1275 * version 3.2.0 released
1278 * reorganized level editor element list a bit to match engines better
1281 * fixed newly introduced bug with wrongly initializing clipboard element
1284 * fixed bug with displaying visible/invisible level border in editor
1287 * reorganized some elements in the level editor element list
1290 * fixed bug with displaying any player as "yellow" when moving into acid
1291 * fixed bug with displaying running player when player stopped at border
1294 * fixed bug with player exploding when moving into acid
1295 * fixed bug with level settings being reset in editor and when playing
1296 (some compatibility settings being set not only after level loading)
1297 * fixed crash bug when number of custom graphic frames was set to zero
1298 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1299 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1300 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1303 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1304 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1307 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1308 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code
1311 * added new chunk "NAME" to level file format for level name settings
1312 * added new chunk "NOTE" to level file format for envelope settings
1313 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1314 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1315 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1318 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1319 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1320 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1321 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1324 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1325 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1326 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1329 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1330 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1331 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1332 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1333 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1334 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1335 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1336 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1337 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1338 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1339 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1342 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1343 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1344 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
1345 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time
1346 * changed use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1347 level editor to start of previous or next cascading block of elements

2292 * unavailable setup options now marked as "n/a" instead of "off"
2293 * new boolean directive "latest_engine" for "levelinfo.conf": when set
2294 to "true", levels are always played with the latest game engine,
2295 which is desired for levels that are imported from other games; all
2296 other levels are played with the engine version stored in level file

2419 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2420 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2421 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2422 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2424 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2425 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2426 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2427 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2429 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2430 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2431 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2432 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2433 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2435 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2436 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2438 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2460 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2462 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2463 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2464 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2465 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2467 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2468 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
2471 * version number set to 3.0.1

2485 * I have forgotten to document changes for some time
2488 * pre-release version 2.2.0rc1 released
2490 2002-08-25 src/libgame/setup.c, src/libgame/sound.c
2491 * Level series artwork now configurable via level series config file.
2492 "levelinfo.conf" may now contain directives "graphics_set",
2493 "sounds_set" and "music_set" to select artwork sets which are
2494 globally defined or which are included into other level series.
2497 * version number set to 2.1.2
2500 * version 2.1.1 released
2502 2002-08-10 src/libgame/system.h
2503 * Default "snap" and "bomb" keys for Mac OS X set to left control key
2504 and keypad enter key -- Macs seem not to distinguish between left
2505 and right modifier keys (both generate scan code for left key). :-(
2507 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2508 * Fixed small NetBSD compilation bug.
2509 Thanks to Adam Ciarcinski for the bug report.
2511 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2512 * Added support for audio device "/dev/sound/dsp" (devfs).
2513 Thanks to Christoph Bauer for the corresponding report.
2515 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2516 * Bug fixed that caused regular crashes under SDL/Windows version.
2517 Mixer_InsertSound(): Always stop music before playing new music,
2518 else "mixer_active_channels" can get fucked up.
2519 Thanks to Keith Peterston for the bug report.
2522 * version number set to 2.1.1
2525 * version 2.1.0 released
2527 2002-05-31 src/libgame/image.c
2528 * Read_PCX_to_Pixmap(): Fixed bad memory leak by freeing "ximageinfo"
2529 and "image" after converting loaded PCX image file to X11 Pixmap.
2530 This really showed up when reloading custom artwork several times.
2532 2002-05-20 src/libgame/sound.c
2533 * added support for 16 bit WAV sound files
2536 * version number set to 2.1.0
2538 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2539 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2540 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2541 * added support for TrueColor PCX graphics files
2542 * enhanced sound system (especially regarding stereo and loop sounds)
2544 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2545 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2546 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2547 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2548 when pressing the Escape key.)
2550 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2551 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2553 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2554 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2555 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2557 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2558 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2559 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2560 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2562 2002-04-01 src/libgame/misc.c
2563 * Added (currently incomplete) function "getKeyFromKeyName()" simply
2564 for orthogonality. When really needed, this function must be
2565 extended accordingly (analog to "getKeyFromX11KeyName()").
2567 2002-04-01 src/libgame/setup.c
2568 * Changed setup "TYPE_KEY" (internal, X11 style key symbol name) to
2569 "TYPE_KEY_X11" and added "TYPE_KEY" (human readable key symbol name).
2570 (This was needed for custom key setup handling in "src/screens.c".)
2572 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2573 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2574 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2575 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2576 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2578 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2579 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2580 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2581 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2582 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2583 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2584 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2585 "pause before end" playing mode).
2587 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2588 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2590 2002-03-30 src/libgame/toons.c
2591 * New libgame source file "toons.c" for the program independant part
2594 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2595 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2596 to add more setup screens).
2598 2002-03-29 src/libgame/setup.c
2599 * Changed "LoadLevelInfoFromLevelDir()" so that not only directories
2600 with level sub-directories are recognized, but also directories
2601 that directly contain level files.
2603 2002-03-29 src/libgame/sound.c
2604 * Changed "boolean stereo = TRUE;" to "static boolean stereo = TRUE;".
2605 (This was a bug that showed up only when in mono audio mode.)
2607 2002-03-24 src/libgame/x11.c, src/libgame/sdl.c, src/libgame/image.c
2608 * Changed image loading code to not exit on error, but set error by
2609 using "SetError()" accordingly. Image loading errors must now be
2610 catched by above layers (src/init.c for example).
2612 2002-03-24 src/libgame/misc.c
2613 * New functions "SetError()" and "GetError()" to provide more
2614 flexible error handling.
2616 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2617 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2618 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2620 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2621 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2622 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2624 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2625 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2626 correspondig changes.
2628 2002-03-23 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/system.h
2629 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new files "setup.c"
2632 2002-03-23 src/libgame/setup.c
2633 * New libgame source file "setup.c" that contains now most setup and
2634 level directory stuff previously handled in "src/files.c".
2636 2002-03-23 src/libgame/joystick.c
2637 * New libgame source file "joystick.c" that contains now all joystick
2638 stuff previously handled in "src/joystick.c" of "Rocks'n'Diamonds".
2640 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2641 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2642 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2644 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2645 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2647 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2648 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2649 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2650 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2652 2002-03-22 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/sound.c
2653 * Added command line option "-s" / "--sounds" and "-m" / "--music"
2654 to specify alternative sound and music directories. (The former
2655 shortcut "-s" for "--serveronly" has changed accordingly.)
2657 2002-03-22 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2658 * Added new gadget events for displaying gadget info texts:
2659 "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING" and "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING". Before,
2660 the info text callback function was only called when entering
2661 a gadget (implicit "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING"). But the info text
2662 was never erased. This can now be done by checking the event type
2663 in the info callback function.
2665 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2666 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2667 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2668 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2669 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2670 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2671 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2673 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2674 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2675 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2676 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2677 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2678 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2679 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2681 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2682 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2683 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2684 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2685 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2686 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2688 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2689 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2690 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2691 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2693 2002-03-20 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2694 * "va_arg(ap, boolean)" changed to "(boolean)va_arg(ap, int)";
2695 this caused problems especially on PowerPC architecture (although
2696 it is wrong on i386 and other architectures, too)
2698 2002-03-20 src/libgame/pcx.c, src/libgame/image.c
2699 * Added support for loading and displaying true-color PCX files.
2701 2002-03-20 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/x11.c
2702 * Added command line option "-g" / "--graphics" to specify an
2703 alternative graphics directory.
2706 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2709 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2711 2002-03-19 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/sdl.c [src/tools.c]
2712 * Moved function "GetPixel()" from src/tools.c ("Mirror Magic" code)
2713 to libgame source files; needed for SDL fullscreen bug workaround
2716 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2717 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2719 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2720 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2722 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2723 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2724 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2725 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2727 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2728 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2730 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2731 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2732 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2733 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2735 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2736 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2737 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2738 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2739 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2740 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2743 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2744 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2745 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2746 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2748 2002-03-17 src/libgame/sound.c
2749 * Bug in "StopMusic()" fixed: SDL_mixer functions may be called
2750 even when sound not available.
2751 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2753 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2754 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2755 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2756 hall-of-fame music.)
2758 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sound.c, src/libgame/platform.h
2759 * Added /dev/dsp (streaming audio) support for NetBSD (instead of the
2760 /dev/audio (ulaw) based Unix audio interface).
2761 Thanks to Krister Walfridsson <cato@df.lth.se> for the patches.
2763 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sdl.c
2764 * Workaround for fullscreen bug in WIN32 version of SDL (at least
2765 in the currently actual version 1.2.3) by using "standard" screen
2766 resolutions like 800x600 and mapping all input (mouse events) and
2767 output (screen drawing) accordingly.
2769 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2770 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2771 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2773 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2774 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2775 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2777 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2778 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2779 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2781 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2782 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2783 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2784 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2785 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2786 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2787 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2788 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2789 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2790 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2791 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2792 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2793 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2794 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2796 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2797 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2798 in a human readable format.
2800 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2801 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2802 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2803 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2805 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2806 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2807 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2808 StopAnimation() was not called.
2810 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2811 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2812 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2813 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2814 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2815 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2816 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2817 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2818 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2820 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2821 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2823 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2824 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2825 not getting killed by enemies
2827 2002-02-28 src/libgame/sound.c
2828 * Fixed small problem with new SDL_Mixer 1.2.1:
2829 Mix_VolumeMusic() must be called _after_ Mix_PlayMusic(),
2830 or it has no effect.
2832 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2833 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2834 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2836 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2837 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2838 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2839 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2840 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2841 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
