188 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
189 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
192 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can

254 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
255 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group

257 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
258 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
259 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
260 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
261 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
262 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
263 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
264 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore

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

1434 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
1435 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
1436 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
1437 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
1438 when pressing the Escape key.)
1440 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
1441 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
1443 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
1444 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
1445 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
1447 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
1448 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
1449 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
1450 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
1452 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
1453 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
1454 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
1455 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
1456 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
1458 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
1459 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
1460 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
1461 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
1462 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
1463 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
1464 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
1465 "pause before end" playing mode).
1467 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
1468 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
1470 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
1471 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
1472 to add more setup screens).
1474 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
1475 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
1476 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
1478 2002-03-23 src/files.c
1479 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
1480 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
1482 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
1483 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
1484 correspondig changes.
1486 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
1487 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
1488 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
1490 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
1491 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
1493 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
1494 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
1495 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
1496 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
1498 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
1499 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
1500 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
1501 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
1502 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
1503 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
1504 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
1506 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
1507 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
1508 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
1509 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
1510 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
1511 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
1512 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
1514 2002-03-20 src/files.h
1515 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
1516 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
1517 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
1518 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
1519 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
1521 2002-03-20 src/main.h
1522 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
1523 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
1524 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
1527 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
1530 * Version 2.0.1 released.
1532 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
1533 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
1535 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
1536 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
1538 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
1539 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
1540 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
1541 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
1543 2002-03-17 src/files.c
1544 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
1545 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
1546 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
1547 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
1548 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
1551 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
1552 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
1553 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
1554 with different format, for example after adding new features).
1556 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
1557 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
1558 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
1559 hall-of-fame music.)
1561 2002-03-14 src/events.c
1562 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
1563 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
1565 2002-03-14 src/game.c
1566 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
1567 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
1569 2002-03-14 src/files.c
1570 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
1571 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
1573 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
1574 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
1575 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
1576 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
1577 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
1578 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
1579 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
1580 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
1581 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
1582 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
1583 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
1584 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
1585 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
1586 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
1588 2002-03-14 src/files.c
1589 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
1590 in a human readable format.
1592 2002-03-14 src/game.c
1593 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
1594 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
1595 loaded as a tape for the new level.
1597 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
1598 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
1599 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
1600 StopAnimation() was not called.
1602 2002-03-13 src/files.c
1603 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
1604 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
1605 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
1606 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
1607 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
1608 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
1609 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
1610 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
1612 2002-03-13 src/files.c
1613 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
1615 2002-03-12 src/game.c
1616 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
1617 not getting killed by enemies
1619 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
1620 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
1621 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
1623 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
1624 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
1625 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
1626 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
1627 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
1628 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
