2 * version 3.3.0.1 released
5 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
6 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
7 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
10 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
13 * version 3.3.0.0 released
16 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
17 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
20 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
21 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
22 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
23 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
24 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
25 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
26 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
27 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
28 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
29 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
30 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
33 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
36 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
39 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
40 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
41 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
44 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
47 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
48 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
51 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
52 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
53 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
54 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
55 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
56 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
57 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
59 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
60 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
61 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
62 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
63 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
64 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
65 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
66 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
67 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
68 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
69 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
70 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
73 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
76 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
79 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
82 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
85 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
86 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
87 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
88 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
89 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
90 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
91 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
92 snapshot loading and saving code
93 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
94 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
95 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
96 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
97 against modification in this case)
98 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
99 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
100 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
101 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
104 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
107 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
108 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
111 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
112 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
115 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
118 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
119 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
120 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
121 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
122 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
123 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
124 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
127 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
128 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
131 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
134 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
135 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
136 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
137 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
138 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
141 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
142 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
143 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
144 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
145 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
146 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
147 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
150 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
151 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
154 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
157 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
158 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
159 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
160 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
161 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
162 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
163 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
164 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
165 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
166 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
169 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
170 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
171 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
172 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
175 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
176 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
177 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
178 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
179 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
182 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
185 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
186 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
187 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
190 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
193 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
194 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
197 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
198 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
199 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
200 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
201 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
202 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
205 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
206 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
207 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
210 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
213 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
216 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
217 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
220 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
221 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
222 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
223 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
226 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
227 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
228 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
229 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
230 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
231 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
234 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
235 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
236 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
239 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
240 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
243 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
246 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
247 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
250 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
253 * version 3.2.6.1 released
256 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
257 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
258 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
259 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
260 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
263 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
264 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
265 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
268 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
269 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
270 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
273 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
274 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
275 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
278 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
281 * version 3.2.6.0 released
284 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
285 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
286 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
289 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
290 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
291 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
292 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
293 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
294 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
295 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
296 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
297 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
298 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
299 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
300 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
301 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
302 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
305 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
308 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
309 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
310 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
311 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
314 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
317 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
318 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
319 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
320 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
321 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
322 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
325 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
328 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
331 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
332 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
333 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
336 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
337 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
338 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
339 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
340 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
341 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
342 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
343 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
346 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
347 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
350 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
351 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
354 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
355 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
358 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
359 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
360 but with the following differences:
361 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
362 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
365 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
366 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
369 - explosion of <element>
371 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
372 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
375 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
376 in UpdateGameControlValues()
377 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
378 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
381 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
382 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
385 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
386 element change pages not being recognized
387 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
388 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
389 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
390 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
391 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
394 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
397 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
398 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
401 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
402 normal, destructible wall
403 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
404 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
407 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
408 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
411 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
414 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
417 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
418 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
419 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
422 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
423 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
424 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
427 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
428 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
429 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
430 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
431 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
432 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
433 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
434 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
435 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
436 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
437 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
440 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
441 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
442 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
443 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
444 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
447 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
450 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
451 current levels current high score in the game panel
454 * version number set to 3.2.5
457 * version 3.2.4 released
460 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
463 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
466 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
467 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
468 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
469 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
470 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
473 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
474 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
477 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
478 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
479 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
480 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
481 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
482 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
483 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
484 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
487 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
490 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
491 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
492 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
493 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
494 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
495 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
496 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
497 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
498 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
499 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
500 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
501 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
502 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
503 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
504 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
505 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
506 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
509 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
510 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
513 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
516 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
517 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
518 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
521 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
522 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
525 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
526 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
527 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
530 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
531 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
534 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
537 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
538 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
539 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
540 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
541 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
542 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
543 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
544 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
545 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
546 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
547 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
548 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
549 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
550 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
551 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
552 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
553 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
556 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
557 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
558 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
561 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
562 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
563 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
564 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
567 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
570 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
571 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
572 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
575 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
576 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
577 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
578 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
579 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
582 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
585 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
588 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
589 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
590 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
593 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
594 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
595 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
596 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
597 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
598 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
599 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
602 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
605 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
606 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
607 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
608 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
609 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
612 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
615 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
616 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
617 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
618 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
619 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
622 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
623 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
624 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
627 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
628 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
631 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
632 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
633 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
634 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
636 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
637 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
640 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
641 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
642 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
643 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
644 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
645 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
646 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
647 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
648 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
650 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
651 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
652 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
654 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
655 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
656 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
657 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
658 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
660 to define the title screen images:
661 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
662 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
664 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
665 directory that have the following file names:
666 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
667 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
669 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
670 that affect all text messages:
671 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
672 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
673 or use directives that affect single text messages:
674 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
675 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
677 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
678 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
679 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
682 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
683 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
684 - readme.y: <top position>
685 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
686 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
687 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
688 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
689 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
690 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
691 - readme.font: font name
692 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
693 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
694 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
695 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
696 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
697 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
698 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
699 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
700 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
701 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
702 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
703 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
704 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
705 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
706 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
707 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
708 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
709 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
710 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
711 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
712 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
713 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
714 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
715 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
716 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
717 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
720 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
723 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
724 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
727 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
728 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
729 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
732 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
733 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
734 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
735 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
736 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
737 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
738 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
741 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
744 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
745 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
746 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
749 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
752 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
753 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
754 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
755 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
756 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens

763 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
766 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
767 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
770 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
771 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
774 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
777 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
780 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
781 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
782 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
783 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
784 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
785 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
789 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
790 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
793 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
794 - growing steel walls
795 - snappable land mine
798 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
799 - steel text elements
802 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
805 * version number set to 3.2.4
808 * version 3.2.3 released
811 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
812 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
813 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
814 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
817 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
820 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
821 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
824 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
825 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
826 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
827 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
828 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
831 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
832 screen fading is disabled
835 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
836 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
837 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
838 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
841 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
844 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
847 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
850 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output

859 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
862 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
863 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
864 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
865 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
866 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
867 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
868 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
871 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
874 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
877 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
878 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
879 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
880 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
881 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
882 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
883 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
884 fading mode can also be specified:
885 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
886 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
887 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
888 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
889 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
892 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items

897 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
898 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
901 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
904 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
905 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
906 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
907 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
908 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
911 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
912 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
915 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
916 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
919 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
920 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
923 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
924 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key

941 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
944 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
945 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
946 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
949 * version number set to 3.2.2
952 * version 3.2.1 released
955 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
958 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)

987 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
990 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
991 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
992 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
993 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
994 block in the element list)
995 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
996 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
999 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu

1019 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1022 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1023 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1026 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1027 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1028 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1031 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can

1064 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1067 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1068 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1071 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes

1077 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1078 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1079 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1082 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1083 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1084 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1085 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1088 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1089 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1090 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1093 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1094 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1095 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1096 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1097 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1098 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1099 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1100 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1101 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1102 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1103 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1106 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1107 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1108 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor

1122 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1123 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1126 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1127 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1128 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1131 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1132 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1135 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1138 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes

1155 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1156 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
1157 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
1158 - "CE value of triggering element"
1159 - "CE score of triggering element"
1160 - "CE value of current element"
1161 - "CE score of current element"
1164 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1167 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1168 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
1169 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
1170 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
1171 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)
1172 * fixed bug with not scrolling the screen in multi-player mode with the
1173 focus on player 1 when all players are moving in different directions
1174 * fixed bug with keeping pointer to gadget even after its deallocation
1175 * fixed bug with allowing "focus on all players" in network games
1176 * fixed bug with player focus when playing tapes from network games
1179 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-7 binary and source code

1207 * added limited movement range to EMC engine when focus on all players
1210 * fixed bug with missing (zero) score values for native Supaplex levels
1213 * added "continuous snapping" (snapping many elements while holding the
1214 snap key pressed, without releasing the snap key after each element)
1215 as a new player setting for more compatibility with the classic games
1218 * finished scrolling for "focus on all players" in EMC graphics engine
1221 * level sets with "levels: 0" are ignored for levels, but not artwork

1274 * added spring bumper (reflects spring) from EMC engine to R'n'D engine
1277 * added selectbox for initial player speed to player settings in editor
1280 * version 3.1.2 created that is basically version 3.1.1, but with a

1328 * added new player option "use level start element" in level editor
1329 to set the correct focus at level start to elements from which the
1330 player is created later (this did not work before for cascaded CE
1331 changes resulting in creation of the player; it is now also possible

2183 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2184 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2185 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2186 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2188 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2189 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2190 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2191 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2193 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2194 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2195 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2196 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2197 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2199 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2200 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit

2224 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2226 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2227 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2228 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2229 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2231 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2232 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition

2258 * version 2.1.1 released
2261 * version number set to 2.1.1
2264 * version 2.1.0 released
2267 * version number set to 2.1.0
2269 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2270 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2271 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2273 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2274 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2275 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2276 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2277 when pressing the Escape key.)
2279 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2280 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2282 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2283 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2284 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2286 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2287 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2288 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2289 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2291 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2292 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2293 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2294 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2295 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2297 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2298 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2299 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2300 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2301 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2302 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2303 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2304 "pause before end" playing mode).
2306 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2307 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2309 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2310 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2311 to add more setup screens).
2313 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2314 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2315 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2317 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2318 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2319 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2321 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2322 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2323 correspondig changes.
2325 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2326 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2327 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2329 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2330 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2332 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2333 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2334 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2335 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2337 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2338 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2339 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2340 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2341 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2342 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2343 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2345 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2346 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2347 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2348 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2349 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2350 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2351 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2353 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2354 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2355 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2356 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2357 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2358 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2360 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2361 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2362 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2363 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2366 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2369 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2371 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2372 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2374 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2375 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2377 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2378 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2379 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2380 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2382 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2383 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2384 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2385 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2386 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2387 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2390 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2391 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2392 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2393 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2395 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2396 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2397 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2398 hall-of-fame music.)
2400 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2401 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2402 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2404 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2405 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2406 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2408 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2409 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2410 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2412 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2413 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2414 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2415 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2416 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2417 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2418 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2419 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2420 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2421 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2422 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2423 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2424 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2425 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2427 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2428 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2429 in a human readable format.
2431 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2432 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2433 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2434 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2436 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2437 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2438 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2439 StopAnimation() was not called.
2441 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2442 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2443 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2444 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2445 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2446 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2447 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2448 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2449 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2451 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2452 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2454 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2455 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2456 not getting killed by enemies
2458 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2459 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2460 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2462 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2463 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2464 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2465 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2466 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2467 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
