+2015-05-31

+
+2015-04-22

+
+2015-04-15
+ * added option "program_icon_file" to run-time "special edition" support
+
+2015-04-14
+ * added run-time "special edition" support;
+ this change is especially targeted to the "R'n'D jue" special edition
+ of R'n'D, which changed some defaults at compile-time in previous
+ versions, like:
+ - using a different default artwork set (with fallback artwork for
+ classic artwork not existing in the special edition),
+ - using a different default level set,
+ - using a different program name and user data directory,
+ - starting with different default setup values and
+ - using custom artwork even at a very early stage of startup
+ (like initial fonts and initial loading/busy animation);
+ these changes can now all be accomplished at run-time by using a new
+ program-specific configuration file in the same location and with the
+ same name as the game binary (minus a potential binary file extension
+ ".exe", plus a configuration file extension ".conf", so a binary file
+ "rnd_jue.exe" would be complemented by a new file "rnd_jue.conf" in
+ the same directory);
+ this config file can contain all options found in "setup.conf" plus
+ the following new, internal "special edition" default settings:
+ - program_title (like "R'n'D jue")
+ - program_author (like "Juergen Bonhagen")
+ - program_email (like "jue@artsoft.org")
+ - program_website (like "http://jue.artsoft.org/")
+ - program_copyright (like "(c) 2015 by jue")
+ - program_company (like "A game by jue")
+ - default_graphics_set (like "jue0")
+ - default_sounds_set (like "jue0")
+ - default_music_set (like "jue0")
+ - fallback_graphics_file (like "fallback.png")
+ - fallback_sounds_file (like "fallback.wav")
+ - fallback_music_file (like "fallback.wav")
+ - default_level_series (like "jue_start")
+ - choose_from_top_leveldir ("true" or "false")
+ where the "default" artwork set definitions are used to specify new
+ default artwork that replaces the "classic" artwork sets, while the
+ "fallback" settings specify artwork files used for all artwork files
+ that would exist in the classic artwork sets, but are not defined or
+ cannot be found in the new default artwork set; the program title is
+ used for things like window title, title screens and user data folder
+ name, and the entry point for choosing a level set can be changed
+ from the current level set location to the topmost level tree node
+

+
+2014-12-13
+ * fixed loading custom PCX image files with default artwork file names
+ (like "RocksDoor.pcx") which are not redefined in artwork config file
+ (this is a special fix for Zelda 2 and probably some other existing
+ level sets which use new graphics which are not defined in the file
+ "graphicsinfo.conf", but use a file name of one of default graphics
+ (like "RocksScreen.pcx"); this did not work anymore for PCX files
+ since the default graphics files have been changed to PNG files, so
+ different file names are checked now (like "RocksScreen.png"), so if
+ the PNG files cannot be found, the old PCX files are also checked)
+
+2014-12-03

+
+2014-09-19

+
+2014-09-10
+ * fixed some drawing bugs when scaling graphics due to "game.tile_size"
+ * added some performance improvements when handling SDL surface scaling
+
+2014-09-04
+ * added custom graphics property "game.tile_size" to define in-game tile
+ size (this defines the tile size actually displayed on the playfield);
+ tile graphics will either be scaled to the defined game tile size or
+ have to be specified with the same image size (using ".tile_size")
+
+2014-09-01
+ * added custom graphics property ".tile_size" to define tile image size
+ for game element graphics (like "custom_1.tile_size"); non-standard
