457 2003-08-16 src/init.c
458 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining

463 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
464 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,

466 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
468 2003-08-16 src/game.c
469 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
471 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

497 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
498 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
500 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
501 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
504 * version number set to 3.0.1

539 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
540 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
542 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
543 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
544 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
545 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
546 when pressing the Escape key.)
548 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
549 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
551 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
552 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
553 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
555 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
556 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
557 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
558 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
560 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
561 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
562 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
563 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
564 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
566 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
567 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
568 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
569 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
570 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
571 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
572 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
573 "pause before end" playing mode).
575 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
576 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
578 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
579 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
580 to add more setup screens).
582 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
583 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
584 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
586 2002-03-23 src/files.c
587 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
588 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
590 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
591 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
592 correspondig changes.
594 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
595 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
596 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
598 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
599 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
601 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
602 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
603 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
604 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
606 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
607 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
608 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
609 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
610 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
611 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
612 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
614 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
615 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
616 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
617 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
618 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
619 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
620 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
622 2002-03-20 src/files.h
623 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
624 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
625 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
626 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
627 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
629 2002-03-20 src/main.h
630 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
631 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
632 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
635 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
638 * Version 2.0.1 released.
640 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
641 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
643 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
644 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
646 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
647 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
648 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
649 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
651 2002-03-17 src/files.c
652 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
653 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
654 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
655 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
656 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
659 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
660 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
661 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
662 with different format, for example after adding new features).
664 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
665 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
666 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
669 2002-03-14 src/events.c
670 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
671 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
673 2002-03-14 src/game.c
674 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
675 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
677 2002-03-14 src/files.c
678 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
679 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
681 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
682 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
683 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
684 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
685 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
686 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
687 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
688 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
689 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
690 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
691 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
692 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
693 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
694 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
696 2002-03-14 src/files.c
697 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
698 in a human readable format.
700 2002-03-14 src/game.c
701 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
702 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
703 loaded as a tape for the new level.
705 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
706 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
707 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
708 StopAnimation() was not called.
710 2002-03-13 src/files.c
711 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
712 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
713 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
714 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
715 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
716 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
717 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
718 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.

724 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
725 not getting killed by enemies

728 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does

731 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
732 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are

734 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
