2 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
3 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
4 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
5 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
6 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
7 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
8 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
9 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
10 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
12 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
13 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
14 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
16 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
17 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
18 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
19 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
20 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
22 to define the title screen images:
23 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
24 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
26 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
27 directory that have the following file names:
28 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
29 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
31 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
32 that affect all text messages:
33 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
34 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
35 or use directives affect single text messages:
36 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
37 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
39 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
40 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
41 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
44 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
45 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
46 - readme.y: <top position>
47 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
48 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
49 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
50 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
51 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
52 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
53 - readme.font: font name
54 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
55 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
56 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
57 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
58 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
59 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
60 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
61 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
62 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
63 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
64 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
65 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
66 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
67 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
68 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
69 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
70 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
71 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
72 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
73 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
74 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
75 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
76 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
77 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
78 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
79 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
82 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
85 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
86 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
89 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
90 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
91 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
94 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
95 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
96 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
97 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
98 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
99 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
100 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
103 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
106 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
107 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
108 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
111 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
114 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
115 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
116 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
117 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
118 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens

128 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
129 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
132 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
133 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
136 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
139 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
142 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
143 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
144 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
145 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
146 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
147 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
151 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
152 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
155 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
156 - growing steel walls
157 - snappable land mine
160 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
161 - steel text elements
164 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
167 * version number set to 3.2.4
170 * version 3.2.3 released
173 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
174 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
175 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
176 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
179 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
182 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
183 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
186 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
187 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
188 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
189 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
190 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
193 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
194 screen fading is disabled
197 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
198 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
199 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
200 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)

206 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
209 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
212 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output

219 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
220 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
221 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
224 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
225 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
226 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
227 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
228 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
229 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
230 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
233 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
236 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
239 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
240 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
241 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
242 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
243 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
244 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
245 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
246 fading mode can also be specified:
247 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
248 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
249 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
250 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
251 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
254 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items

259 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
260 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
263 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
266 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
267 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
268 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
269 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
270 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
273 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
274 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
277 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
278 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
281 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
282 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
285 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
286 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key

303 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
306 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
307 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
308 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)

314 * version 3.2.1 released
317 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems

349 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
352 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
353 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
354 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
355 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
356 block in the element list)
357 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
358 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time

378 * added Windows message box to direct to "stderr.txt" after error aborts
381 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
384 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
385 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
388 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
389 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
390 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
393 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can

430 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
433 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes

440 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
441 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
444 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
445 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
446 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
447 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
450 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
451 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
452 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
455 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
456 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
457 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
458 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
459 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
460 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
461 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
462 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
463 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
464 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
465 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
468 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
469 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
470 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
471 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time

488 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
489 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
490 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
493 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
494 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
497 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
500 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes
501 * fixed bug with creating invisible elements when light switch is on
504 * added selection between ECS and AGA graphics for EMC levels to setup

513 * fixed handling of over-large selectboxes (less error-prone now)
514 * fixed bug when creating GE with walkable element under the player
517 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
518 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
519 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
520 - "CE value of triggering element"
521 - "CE score of triggering element"
522 - "CE value of current element"
523 - "CE score of current element"
526 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
529 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
530 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
531 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
532 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
533 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)
534 * fixed bug with not scrolling the screen in multi-player mode with the
535 focus on player 1 when all players are moving in different directions
536 * fixed bug with keeping pointer to gadget even after its deallocation

538 * fixed bug with player focus when playing tapes from network games
541 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-7 binary and source code
544 * code cleanup for game action control for R'n'D and EMC game engine
547 * fixed bug in multi-player movement with focus on both players
548 * added option to control only the focussed player with all input

569 * added limited movement range to EMC engine when focus on all players
572 * fixed bug with missing (zero) score values for native Supaplex levels
575 * added "continuous snapping" (snapping many elements while holding the
576 snap key pressed, without releasing the snap key after each element)
577 as a new player setting for more compatibility with the classic games
580 * finished scrolling for "focus on all players" in EMC graphics engine
583 * level sets with "levels: 0" are ignored for levels, but not artwork
584 * fixed bug when scanning empty level group directories (endless loop)

694 to create the player from a yam yam which is smashed at level start)
697 * added "set player speed: frozen (not moving)" to CE action options
698 * added "move player: l/r/u/d/trigger/-trigger" to CE action options

1523 * version number set to 3.0.3
1526 * version 3.0.2 released
1528 2003-08-21 src/game.c
1529 * fixed bug with creating inaccessible elements at player position
1531 2003-08-20 src/init.c

1544 2003-08-17 (no source files affected)
1545 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
1546 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
1547 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
1548 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
1550 2003-08-16 src/init.c
1551 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
1552 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
1553 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
1555 2003-08-16 src/init.c
1556 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
1557 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
1558 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
1559 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
1561 2003-08-16 src/game.c
1562 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
1564 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

1580 * cleanup of simple sounds / loop sounds / music settings
1582 2003-08-08 (various source files)
1583 * added custom element property for dropping collected elements
1585 2003-08-08 src/conf_gfx.c
1586 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
1588 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
1589 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
1590 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
1591 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
1593 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
1594 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
1597 * version number set to 3.0.1
1600 * version 3.0.0 released
1603 * various bug fixes; among others:
1604 - fixed bug with pushing spring over empty space

1606 - fixed bug with explosion of smashed penguins
1607 - allow Murphy player graphic in levels with non-Supaplex elements
1611 * I have forgotten to document changes for some time
1614 * pre-release version 2.2.0rc1 released
1617 * version number set to 2.1.2
1620 * version 2.1.1 released
1623 * version number set to 2.1.1
1626 * version 2.1.0 released
1629 * version number set to 2.1.0
1631 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
1632 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
1633 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
1635 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
1636 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
1637 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
1638 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
1639 when pressing the Escape key.)
1641 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
1642 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
1644 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
1645 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
1646 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
1648 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
1649 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
1650 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
1651 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
1653 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
1654 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
1655 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
1656 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
1657 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
1659 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
1660 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
1661 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
1662 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
1663 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
1664 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
1665 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
1666 "pause before end" playing mode).
1668 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
1669 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
1671 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
1672 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
1673 to add more setup screens).
1675 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
1676 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
1677 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
1679 2002-03-23 src/files.c
1680 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
1681 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
1683 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
1684 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
1685 correspondig changes.
1687 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
1688 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
1689 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
1691 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
1692 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
1694 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
1695 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
1696 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
1697 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
1699 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
1700 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
1701 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
1702 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
1703 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
1704 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
1705 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
1707 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
1708 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
1709 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
1710 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
1711 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
1712 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
1713 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
1715 2002-03-20 src/files.h
1716 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
1717 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
1718 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
1719 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
1720 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
1722 2002-03-20 src/main.h
1723 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
1724 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
1725 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
1728 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
1731 * Version 2.0.1 released.
1733 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
1734 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
1736 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
1737 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
1739 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
1740 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
1741 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
1742 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
1744 2002-03-17 src/files.c
1745 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
1746 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
1747 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
1748 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
1749 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
1752 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
1753 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
1754 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
1755 with different format, for example after adding new features).
1757 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
1758 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
1759 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
1760 hall-of-fame music.)
1762 2002-03-14 src/events.c
1763 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
1764 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
1766 2002-03-14 src/game.c
1767 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
1768 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
1770 2002-03-14 src/files.c
1771 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
1772 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
1774 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
1775 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
1776 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
1777 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
1778 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
1779 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
1780 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
1781 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
1782 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
1783 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
1784 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
1785 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
1786 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
1787 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
1789 2002-03-14 src/files.c
1790 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
1791 in a human readable format.
1793 2002-03-14 src/game.c
1794 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
1795 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
1796 loaded as a tape for the new level.
1798 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
1799 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
1800 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
1801 StopAnimation() was not called.
1803 2002-03-13 src/files.c
1804 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
1805 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
1806 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
1807 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
1808 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
1809 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
1810 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
1811 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
1813 2002-03-13 src/files.c
1814 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
1816 2002-03-12 src/game.c
1817 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
1818 not getting killed by enemies
1820 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
1821 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
1822 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
1824 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
1825 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
1826 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
1827 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
1828 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
1829 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
