2 * added classic graphics, sounds and music to git repository
3 * added classic level sets to git repository
4 * added element description files to git repository
5 * changed mouse cursor on title screens not being always invisible
6 * added manually edited non-preset audio volume values to select list
7 (if sound, loops or music volume was manually edited in "setup.conf")
10 * fixed using "background.TOOLBOX", which was simply ignored before
13 * added key pad '-', '+' and '0' keys to zoom function in level editor
14 * changed editor key shortcut for undo/redo to 'u' and 'Shift-u'
15 * fixed using 'PageUp' and 'PageDown' keys for element list in editor
18 * added 1%, 2% and 5% to volume controls for sound and music settings
21 * fixed bug with editor border element not adjusted after resizing level
22 * changed unused playfield from "default" to "empty" after loading level
23 * increased number of undo/redo steps in level editor from 10 to 64
26 * added zoom functionality for playfield drawing area to level editor
27 (use left, right and middle mouse buttons on new "zoom" toolbox button
28 or use keys '-', '+' and '0' to zoom out, in or reset to default size)
31 * fixed bug not updating game panel values in visible warp forward mode
34 * changed position of CE/GE use/save template gadgets to be visually
35 separated from other CE/GE gadgets (to prevent accidental use)
36 * fixed bug in editor when using undo after rotating level repeatedly
37 * added 'redo' functionality to editor (by pressing 'undo' with right
38 mouse button or by using key shortcut "Shift-R")
41 * added configurability of editor control buttons (toolbox buttons)
44 * finished configurability of tape date and time display positions
45 * fixed bug with game buttons in tape area not properly redrawn
46 * fixed small graphical bug with default tape time display position
47 * added optionally configurable game frame counter to tape display
50 * fixed configurability of editor element palette (for columns != 4)
53 * improved configurability of tape date and time display positions
54 * added configurability of element properties button in editor
55 * added build dependency for auto-conf files
58 * added looking for editor element descriptions in level set directory
59 (for example, in file "<my-level-folder>/docs/elements/custom_1.txt")
62 * moved "element properties" button in editor from toolbox to palette
63 * added "zoom level tile size" button in editor to toolbox (currently
64 no function behind it; will be used to zoom level editor playfield)
65 * added key shortcuts '1' to '3' to view properties of drawing elements
66 * fixed gadget display bug in editor (door 1 area) after test playing
67 * fixed bugs when changing drawing area gadgets (like group elements)
70 * re-enabled editor palette element options in setup configuration file
73 * fixed loading custom PCX image files with default artwork file names
74 (like "RocksDoor.pcx") which are not redefined in artwork config file
75 (this is a special fix for Zelda 2 and probably some other existing
76 level sets which use new graphics which are not defined in the file
77 "graphicsinfo.conf", but use a file name of one of default graphics
78 (like "RocksScreen.pcx"); this did not work anymore for PCX files
79 since the default graphics files have been changed to PNG files, so
80 different file names are checked now (like "RocksScreen.png"), so if
81 the PNG files cannot be found, the old PCX files are also checked)
84 * added some more graphics customization options for the level editor:
85 - editor.button.prev_level (position)
86 - editor.button.next_level (position)
87 - editor.input.level_number (position)
88 - editor.palette.tile_size (tile size for palette elements)
89 - editor.palette.element_left.tile_size (draw element tile size)
90 - editor.palette.element_middle.tile_size (draw element tile size)
91 - editor.palette.element_right.tile_size (draw element tile size)
92 - editor.input.gfx.level_number (current level number input field)
95 * fixed menu display bugs caused by drawing outside menu area (again)
98 * fixed broken door animations when switching between custom graphics
101 * fixed layout for "level set info" to support custom playfield size
102 * fixed changing from title to info screen with custom playfield size
105 * fixed bug with not updating default bitmap pointer for scaled images
106 * fixed redraw/fade bugs when redefining the playfield size or position
109 * fixed some smaller issues with loading custom artwork
112 * added warnings when using undefined element and graphic names in
113 custom artwork definitions (like ".crumbled_like" or ".clone_from")
114 * added setting default filenames for all cloned graphics in static
115 graphics configuration on startup (to be able to fall back later)
118 * fixed using buttons on main screen with size other than 32x32 pixels
119 * fixed some initialization bugs for scrollbars and main screen buttons
120 * fixed bug when drawing non-element graphics (without separate in-game
121 graphic/bitmap defined) while non-standard game tile size is defined
124 * removed some remaining unused X11 stuff
125 * fixed bug with potentially suppressed exit error message on startup
128 * fixed bug not loading tape when selecting level from level selection
129 screen (thanks to filbo for finding this bug and supplying a patch)
132 * fixed menu display bugs (drawing outside menu area with draw offset)
133 * fixed menu key navigation bugs (when using smaller menu list size)
136 * added support for animated door parts during opening/closing movement
139 * added automatic detection of normal/steel character elements in level
140 editor when drawing text (depending on currently selected element)
143 * eliminated historical ISO-8859-1 characters from source code files
144 (but still using them internally for special character encodings)
145 * changed output of special character for level sketch brushes to UTF-8
148 * added handling of unselectable selectbox options and option headlines
151 * fixed bug when changing between graphic sets with different tile size
152 * cleanup of handling the various graphic sizes for different purposes
153 (like 32x32, 16x16 etc.); this change was needed for the bugfix above
156 * added virtual keyboard on Android port when entering player name
159 * fixed "quick menu doors" and sounds for door and envelope requests
162 * fixed display bugs with certain custom menu definitions regarding the
163 hall of fame (high scores) and setup screens that require scrolling
164 (these display bugs showed up with custom menu graphics of R'n'D jue)
167 * fixed bug with animation frames per line with non-standard tile size
168 (relevant for example for 64x64 sized frames continued on next row)
171 * removed checking of file identifier tokens for configuration files
174 * fixed bug where player actions were only mapped in team mode
175 (this broke four tapes in automatic game engine unit test where
176 old levels contained a non-yellow player, like rnd_abby_king, 011)
179 * removed large parts of the preprocessor hell of old and unused code
182 * updated source file headers (mainly author contact information)
185 * added key shortcuts for window scaling and toggling fullscreen mode:
186 - Ctrl-'+', Ctrl-'-' and Ctrl-'0' for up/downscaling and normal size
187 - "F11" key for toggling fullscreen mode (in addition to Alt-Enter)
190 * fixed some drawing bugs when scaling graphics due to "game.tile_size"
191 * added some performance improvements when handling SDL surface scaling
194 * added custom graphics property "game.tile_size" to define in-game tile
195 size (this defines the tile size actually displayed on the playfield);
196 tile graphics will either be scaled to the defined game tile size or
197 have to be specified with the same image size (using ".tile_size")
200 * added custom graphics property ".tile_size" to define tile image size
201 for game element graphics (like "custom_1.tile_size"); non-standard
202 sized images will then be scaled accordingly to standard tile size
205 * fixed music still being played in Android version when in background
208 * added Android "menu" button to be treated as "yes" requester button
209 (while the Android "back" button was already treated as "no" button)
212 * added command line options "--version" / "-V" to show program version
213 (also shows SDL library versions when prefixed with "--debug" option)
216 * error file set to unbuffered to prevent truncation in case of crashes
219 * fixed bug causing wrong screen updates while playing (whole screen
220 update from backbuffer instead of playfield buffer if REDRAW_ALL set)
221 * fixed nasty (typo) bug in native EM engine causing broken player
222 graphics when using different (redefined) playfield size
225 * fixed bug causing EM/EMC graphics sets containing original 16x16 tiles
226 to be displayed incorrectly (with broken scaling) when switching
227 between small and normal game graphics (thanks a lot to filbo for
228 analyzing and describing how to exactly reproduce this bug)
231 * removed MS-DOS support
232 * removed native X11 support (X11 now only supported via SDL/SDL2)
235 * cleanup of functions RedrawPlayfield() and BlitScreenToBitmap()
238 * fixed level redraw after quick-loading tape with small tile graphics
241 * added compatibility code for existing request door animation settings
244 * added ultra-generic, ultra-flexible request door animation handling
247 * fixed major bugs in handling single-player and multi-player tapes
248 (for details, see http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2086)
251 * fixed various problems with playfield and requester/tape/editor doors
252 defined to be at non-standard screen positions in artwork config file
255 * added envelope style requester dialog (alternative to door requester)
258 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
259 * added setup option to select anti-aliasing quality of scaled windows
262 * improved speed of displaying progress when loading levels and artwork
263 * changed fullscreen and window scaling changes in setup menu to have
264 immediate effect (instead of being effective after leaving setup menu)
267 * fixed toons stopping on continuous touch events on Mac OS X
270 * fixed bug when displaying game envelope with even sized playfield
271 * added graphic configuration options for request (dialog) buttons
274 * fixed some redraw bugs with window scaling under Mac OS X
277 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
280 * fixed problems related to fullscreen switching and window scaling
283 * fixed inconsistent custom artwork constants numbering in src/main.h,
284 src/screen.c and src/conf_gfx.c (this really should be cleaned up)
285 (this bug caused custom artwork definition to set wrong variable)
288 * fixed using fullscreen mode on Android instead of pseudo-window mode
289 * fixed keeping desktop fullscreen mode when changing viewport size
292 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
293 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
296 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
297 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
298 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
301 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
304 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
307 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
308 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
311 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
314 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
315 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
318 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
319 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
320 * changed default graphics from PCX to PNG (needed for Android version
321 to prevent painfully slow image loading, although not compressing PCX
322 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
323 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
324 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
327 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
330 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
333 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
336 * version 3.3.1.2 released
339 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
340 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
343 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
344 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
345 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
346 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
349 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
352 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
355 * version 3.3.1.1 released
358 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
359 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
362 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
365 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
368 * version 3.3.1.0 released
371 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
374 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
375 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
376 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
377 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
378 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
379 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
382 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
383 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
386 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
387 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
390 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
391 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
394 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
397 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
398 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
399 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
402 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
403 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
404 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
405 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
406 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
407 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
408 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
411 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
412 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
413 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
414 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
415 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
418 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
419 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
422 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
425 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
426 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
429 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
432 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
435 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
438 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
441 * version 3.3.0.1 released
444 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
445 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
446 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
449 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
452 * version 3.3.0.0 released
455 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
456 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
459 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
460 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
461 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
462 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
463 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
464 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
465 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
466 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
467 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
468 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
469 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
472 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
475 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
478 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
479 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
480 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
483 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
486 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
487 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
490 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
491 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
492 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
493 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
494 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
495 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
496 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
498 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
499 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
500 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
501 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
502 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
503 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
504 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
505 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
506 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
507 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
508 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
509 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
512 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
515 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
518 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
521 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
524 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
525 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
526 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
527 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
528 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
529 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
530 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
531 snapshot loading and saving code
532 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
533 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
534 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
535 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
536 against modification in this case)
537 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
538 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
539 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
540 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
543 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
546 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
547 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
550 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
551 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
554 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
557 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
558 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
559 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
560 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
561 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
562 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
563 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
566 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
567 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
570 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
573 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
574 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
575 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
576 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
577 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
580 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
581 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
582 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
583 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
584 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
585 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
586 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
589 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
590 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
593 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
596 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
597 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
598 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
599 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
600 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
601 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
602 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
603 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
604 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
605 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
608 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
609 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
610 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
611 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
614 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
615 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
616 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
617 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
618 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
621 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
624 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
625 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
626 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
629 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
632 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
633 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
636 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
637 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
638 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
639 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
640 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
641 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
644 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
645 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
646 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
649 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
652 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
655 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
656 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
659 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
660 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
661 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
662 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
665 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
666 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
667 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
668 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
669 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
670 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
673 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
674 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
675 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
678 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
679 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
682 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
685 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
686 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
689 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
692 * version 3.2.6.1 released
695 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
696 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
697 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
698 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
699 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
702 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
703 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
704 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
707 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
708 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
709 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
712 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
713 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
714 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
717 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
720 * version 3.2.6.0 released
723 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
724 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
725 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
728 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
729 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
730 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
731 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
732 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
733 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
734 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
735 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
736 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
737 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
738 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
739 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
740 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
741 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
744 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
747 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
748 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
749 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
750 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
753 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
756 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
757 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
758 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
759 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
760 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
761 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
764 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
767 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
770 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
771 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
772 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
775 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
776 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
777 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
778 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
779 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
780 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
781 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
782 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
785 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
786 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
789 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
790 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
793 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
794 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
797 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
798 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
799 but with the following differences:
800 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
801 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
804 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
805 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
808 - explosion of <element>
810 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
811 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
814 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
815 in UpdateGameControlValues()
816 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
817 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
820 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
821 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
824 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
825 element change pages not being recognized
826 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
827 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
828 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
829 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
830 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
833 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
836 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
837 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
840 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
841 normal, destructible wall
842 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
843 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
846 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
847 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
850 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
853 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
856 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
857 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
858 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
861 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
862 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
863 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
866 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
867 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
868 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
869 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
870 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
871 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
872 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
873 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
874 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
875 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
876 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
879 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
880 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
881 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
882 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
883 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
886 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
889 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
890 current levels current high score in the game panel
893 * version number set to 3.2.5
896 * version 3.2.4 released
899 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
902 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
905 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
906 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
907 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
908 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
909 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
912 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
913 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
916 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
917 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
918 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
919 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
920 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
921 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
922 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
923 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
926 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
929 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
930 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
931 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
932 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
933 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
934 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
935 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
936 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
937 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
938 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
939 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
940 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
941 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
942 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
943 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
944 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
945 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
948 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
949 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
952 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
955 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
956 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
957 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
960 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
961 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
964 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
965 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
966 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
969 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
970 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
973 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
976 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
977 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
978 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
979 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
980 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
981 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
982 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
983 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
984 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
985 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
986 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
987 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
988 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
989 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
990 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
991 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
992 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
995 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
996 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
997 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
1000 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
1001 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
1002 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
1003 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
1006 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
1009 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
1010 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
1011 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
1014 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
1015 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
1016 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
1017 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
1018 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
1021 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
1024 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
1027 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
1028 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
1029 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
1032 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
1033 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
1034 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
1035 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
1036 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
1037 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
1038 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
1041 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
1044 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
1045 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
1046 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
1047 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
1048 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
1051 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
1054 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
1055 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
1056 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
1057 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
1058 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
1061 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
1062 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
1063 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
1066 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
1067 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
1070 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
1071 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
1072 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
1073 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
1075 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
1076 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
1079 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
1080 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
1081 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
1082 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
1083 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
1084 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
1085 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
1086 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
1087 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
1089 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
1090 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
1091 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
1093 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
1094 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1095 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1096 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1097 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1099 to define the title screen images:
1100 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1101 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1103 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
1104 directory that have the following file names:
1105 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1106 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1108 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
1109 that affect all text messages:
1110 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
1111 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
1112 or use directives that affect single text messages:
1113 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1114 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
1116 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
1117 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
1118 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
1121 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
1122 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
1123 - readme.y: <top position>
1124 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
1125 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
1126 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
1127 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
1128 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
1129 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
1130 - readme.font: font name
1131 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
1132 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
1133 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
1134 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
1135 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
1136 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
1137 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
1138 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
1139 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
1140 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
1141 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
1142 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
1143 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
1144 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
1145 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
1146 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
1147 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
1148 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
1149 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
1150 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
1151 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
1152 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
1153 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
1154 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
1155 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
1156 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
1159 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
1162 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
1163 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
1166 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
1167 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
1168 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
1171 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
1172 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
1173 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
1174 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
1175 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
1176 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
1177 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
1180 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
1183 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
1184 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
1185 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
1188 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
1191 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
1192 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
1193 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
1194 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
1195 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
1198 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
1199 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
1202 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
1205 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
1206 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
1209 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
1210 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
1213 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
1216 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
1219 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
1220 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1221 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
1222 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
1223 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
1224 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
1228 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
1229 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
1232 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1233 - growing steel walls
1234 - snappable land mine
1237 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1238 - steel text elements
1241 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
1244 * version number set to 3.2.4
1247 * version 3.2.3 released
1250 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
1251 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
1252 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
1253 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
1256 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
1259 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
1260 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
1263 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
1264 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
1265 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
1266 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
1267 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
1270 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
1271 screen fading is disabled
1274 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
1275 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
1276 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
1277 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
1280 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
1283 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
1286 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
1289 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
1292 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
1295 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
1296 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
1297 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
1298 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
1301 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
1302 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
1303 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
1304 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
1305 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
1306 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
1307 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
1310 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
1313 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
1316 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
1317 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
1318 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
1319 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
1320 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
1321 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1322 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1323 fading mode can also be specified:
1324 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1325 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1326 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
1327 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
1328 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
1331 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
1334 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
1335 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
1336 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1337 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1340 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1343 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1344 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player

1429 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1430 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event

1466 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1467 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid

1533 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1534 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1535 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1536 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1537 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1538 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1539 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1540 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1541 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1542 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1545 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing

1603 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1606 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1607 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D

2705 2002-08-10 src/libgame/system.h
2706 * Default "snap" and "bomb" keys for Mac OS X set to left control key
2707 and keypad enter key -- Macs seem not to distinguish between left

2710 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2711 * Fixed small NetBSD compilation bug.
2712 Thanks to Adam Ciarcinski for the bug report.
2714 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c

2718 2002-08-10 src/libgame/sound.c
2719 * Bug fixed that caused regular crashes under SDL/Windows version.
2720 Mixer_InsertSound(): Always stop music before playing new music,

2725 * version number set to 2.1.1
2728 * version 2.1.0 released
2730 2002-05-31 src/libgame/image.c
2731 * Read_PCX_to_Pixmap(): Fixed bad memory leak by freeing "ximageinfo"

2733 This really showed up when reloading custom artwork several times.
2735 2002-05-20 src/libgame/sound.c
2736 * added support for 16 bit WAV sound files
2739 * version number set to 2.1.0

2747 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2748 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2749 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2750 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2751 when pressing the Escape key.)
2753 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2754 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2756 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2757 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2758 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2760 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2761 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2762 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2763 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2765 2002-04-01 src/libgame/misc.c
2766 * Added (currently incomplete) function "getKeyFromKeyName()" simply
2767 for orthogonality. When really needed, this function must be
2768 extended accordingly (analog to "getKeyFromX11KeyName()").
2770 2002-04-01 src/libgame/setup.c
2771 * Changed setup "TYPE_KEY" (internal, X11 style key symbol name) to
2772 "TYPE_KEY_X11" and added "TYPE_KEY" (human readable key symbol name).
2773 (This was needed for custom key setup handling in "src/screens.c".)
2775 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2776 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2777 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2778 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2779 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2781 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2782 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2783 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2784 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2785 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2786 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2787 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2788 "pause before end" playing mode).
2790 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2791 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2793 2002-03-30 src/libgame/toons.c
2794 * New libgame source file "toons.c" for the program independant part
2797 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2798 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2799 to add more setup screens).
2801 2002-03-29 src/libgame/setup.c
2802 * Changed "LoadLevelInfoFromLevelDir()" so that not only directories
2803 with level sub-directories are recognized, but also directories
2804 that directly contain level files.
2806 2002-03-29 src/libgame/sound.c
2807 * Changed "boolean stereo = TRUE;" to "static boolean stereo = TRUE;".
2808 (This was a bug that showed up only when in mono audio mode.)
2810 2002-03-24 src/libgame/x11.c, src/libgame/sdl.c, src/libgame/image.c
2811 * Changed image loading code to not exit on error, but set error by
2812 using "SetError()" accordingly. Image loading errors must now be
2813 catched by above layers (src/init.c for example).
2815 2002-03-24 src/libgame/misc.c
2816 * New functions "SetError()" and "GetError()" to provide more
2817 flexible error handling.
2819 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2820 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2821 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2823 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2824 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2825 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2827 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2828 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2829 correspondig changes.
2831 2002-03-23 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/system.h
2832 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new files "setup.c"
2835 2002-03-23 src/libgame/setup.c
2836 * New libgame source file "setup.c" that contains now most setup and
2837 level directory stuff previously handled in "src/files.c".
2839 2002-03-23 src/libgame/joystick.c
2840 * New libgame source file "joystick.c" that contains now all joystick
2841 stuff previously handled in "src/joystick.c" of "Rocks'n'Diamonds".
2843 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2844 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2845 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2847 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2848 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2850 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2851 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2852 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2853 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2855 2002-03-22 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/sound.c
2856 * Added command line option "-s" / "--sounds" and "-m" / "--music"
2857 to specify alternative sound and music directories. (The former
2858 shortcut "-s" for "--serveronly" has changed accordingly.)
2860 2002-03-22 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2861 * Added new gadget events for displaying gadget info texts:
2862 "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING" and "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING". Before,
2863 the info text callback function was only called when entering
2864 a gadget (implicit "GD_EVENT_INFO_ENTERING"). But the info text
2865 was never erased. This can now be done by checking the event type
2866 in the info callback function.
2868 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2869 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2870 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2871 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2872 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2873 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2874 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2876 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2877 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2878 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2879 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2880 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2881 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2882 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2884 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2885 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2886 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2887 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2888 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2889 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2891 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2892 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2893 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2894 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2896 2002-03-20 src/libgame/gadgets.c
2897 * "va_arg(ap, boolean)" changed to "(boolean)va_arg(ap, int)";
2898 this caused problems especially on PowerPC architecture (although
2899 it is wrong on i386 and other architectures, too)
2901 2002-03-20 src/libgame/pcx.c, src/libgame/image.c
2902 * Added support for loading and displaying true-color PCX files.
2904 2002-03-20 src/libgame/misc.c, src/libgame/x11.c
2905 * Added command line option "-g" / "--graphics" to specify an
2906 alternative graphics directory.
2909 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2912 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2914 2002-03-19 src/libgame/system.c, src/libgame/sdl.c [src/tools.c]
2915 * Moved function "GetPixel()" from src/tools.c ("Mirror Magic" code)
2916 to libgame source files; needed for SDL fullscreen bug workaround
2919 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2920 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2922 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2923 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2925 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2926 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2927 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2928 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2930 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2931 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2933 2002-03-18 src/libgame/misc.c [src/files.c]
2934 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2935 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2936 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2938 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2939 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2940 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2941 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2942 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2943 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2946 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2947 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2948 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2949 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2951 2002-03-17 src/libgame/sound.c
2952 * Bug in "StopMusic()" fixed: SDL_mixer functions may be called
2953 even when sound not available.
2954 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2956 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2957 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2958 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2959 hall-of-fame music.)
2961 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sound.c, src/libgame/platform.h
2962 * Added /dev/dsp (streaming audio) support for NetBSD (instead of the
2963 /dev/audio (ulaw) based Unix audio interface).
2964 Thanks to Krister Walfridsson <cato@df.lth.se> for the patches.
2966 2002-03-15 src/libgame/sdl.c
2967 * Workaround for fullscreen bug in WIN32 version of SDL (at least
2968 in the currently actual version 1.2.3) by using "standard" screen
2969 resolutions like 800x600 and mapping all input (mouse events) and
2970 output (screen drawing) accordingly.
2972 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2973 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2974 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2976 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2977 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2978 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2980 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2981 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2982 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2984 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2985 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2986 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2987 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2988 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2989 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2990 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2991 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2992 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2993 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2994 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2995 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2996 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2997 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2999 2002-03-14 src/files.c
3000 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
3001 in a human readable format.
3003 2002-03-14 src/game.c
3004 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
3005 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
3006 loaded as a tape for the new level.
3008 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
3009 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
3010 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
3011 StopAnimation() was not called.
3013 2002-03-13 src/files.c
3014 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
3015 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
3016 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
3017 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
3018 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
3019 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
3020 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
3021 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
3023 2002-03-13 src/files.c
3024 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
3026 2002-03-12 src/game.c
3027 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
3028 not getting killed by enemies
3030 2002-02-28 src/libgame/sound.c
3031 * Fixed small problem with new SDL_Mixer 1.2.1:
3032 Mix_VolumeMusic() must be called _after_ Mix_PlayMusic(),
3033 or it has no effect.
3035 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
3036 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
3037 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
3039 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
3040 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
3041 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
3042 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
3043 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
3044 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
