2 * fixed level redraw after quick-loading tape with small tile graphics
5 * added compatibility code for existing request door animation settings
8 * added ultra-generic, ultra-flexible request door animation handling
11 * fixed major bugs in handling single-player and multi-player tapes
12 (for details, see http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2086)
15 * fixed various problems with playfield and requester/tape/editor doors
16 defined to be at non-standard screen positions in artwork config file
19 * added envelope style requester dialog (alternative to door requester)
22 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
23 * added setup option to select anti-aliasing quality of scaled windows
26 * improved speed of displaying progress when loading levels and artwork
27 * changed fullscreen and window scaling changes in setup menu to have
28 immediate effect (instead of being effective after leaving setup menu)
31 * fixed toons stopping on continuous touch events on Mac OS X
34 * fixed bug when displaying game envelope with even sized playfield
35 * added graphic configuration options for request (dialog) buttons
38 * fixed some redraw bugs with window scaling under Mac OS X
41 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
44 * fixed problems related to fullscreen switching and window scaling
47 * fixed inconsistent custom artwork contant numbering in src/main.h,
48 src/screen.c and src/conf_gfx.c (this really should be cleaned up)
49 (this bug caused custom artwork definition to set wrong variable)
52 * fixed using fullscreen mode on Android instead of pseudo-window mode
53 * fixed keeping desktop fullscreen mode when changing viewport size
56 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
57 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
60 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
61 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
62 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
65 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
68 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
71 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
72 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
75 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
78 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
79 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
82 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
83 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
84 * changed default graphics vom PCX to PNG (needed for Android version to
85 prevent painfully slow loading of images, although not compressing PCX
86 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
87 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
88 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
91 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
94 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
97 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
100 * version 3.3.1.2 released
103 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
104 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
107 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
108 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
109 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
110 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
113 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
116 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
119 * version 3.3.1.1 released
122 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
123 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
126 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
129 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
132 * version 3.3.1.0 released
135 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
138 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
139 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
140 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
141 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
142 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
143 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
146 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
147 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
150 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
151 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
154 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
155 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
158 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
161 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
162 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
163 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
166 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
167 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
168 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
169 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
170 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
171 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
172 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
175 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
176 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
177 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
178 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
179 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
182 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
183 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
186 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
189 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
190 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
193 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
196 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
199 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
202 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
205 * version 3.3.0.1 released
208 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
209 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
210 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
213 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
216 * version 3.3.0.0 released
219 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
220 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
223 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
224 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
225 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
226 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
227 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
228 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
229 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
230 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
231 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
232 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
233 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
236 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
239 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
242 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
243 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
244 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
247 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
250 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
251 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
254 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
255 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
256 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
257 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
258 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
259 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
260 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
262 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
263 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
264 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
265 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
266 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
267 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
268 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
269 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
270 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
271 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
272 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
273 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
276 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
279 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
282 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
285 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
288 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
289 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
290 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
291 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
292 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
293 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
294 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
295 snapshot loading and saving code
296 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
297 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
298 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
299 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
300 against modification in this case)
301 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
302 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
303 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
304 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
307 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
310 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
311 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
314 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
315 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
318 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
321 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
322 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
323 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
324 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
325 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
326 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
327 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
330 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
331 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
334 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
337 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
338 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
339 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
340 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
341 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
344 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
345 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
346 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
347 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
348 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
349 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
350 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
353 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
354 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
357 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
360 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
361 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
362 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
363 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
364 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
365 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
366 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
367 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
368 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
369 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
372 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
373 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
374 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
375 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
378 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
379 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
380 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
381 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
382 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
385 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
388 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
389 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
390 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
393 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
396 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
397 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
400 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
401 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
402 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
403 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
404 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
405 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
408 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
409 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
410 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
413 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
416 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
419 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
420 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
423 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
424 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
425 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
426 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
429 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
430 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
431 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
432 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
433 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
434 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
437 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
438 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
439 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
442 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
443 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
446 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
449 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
450 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
453 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
456 * version 3.2.6.1 released
459 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
460 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
461 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
462 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
463 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
466 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
467 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
468 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
471 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
472 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
473 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
476 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
477 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
478 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
481 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
484 * version 3.2.6.0 released
487 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
488 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
489 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
492 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
493 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
494 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
495 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
496 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
497 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
498 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
499 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
500 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
501 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
502 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
503 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
504 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
505 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
508 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
511 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
512 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
513 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
514 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
517 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
520 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
521 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
522 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
523 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
524 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
525 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
528 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
531 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
534 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
535 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
536 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
539 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
540 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
541 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
542 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
543 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
544 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
545 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
546 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
549 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
550 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
553 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
554 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
557 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
558 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
561 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
562 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
563 but with the following differences:
564 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
565 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
568 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
569 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
572 - explosion of <element>
574 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
575 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
578 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
579 in UpdateGameControlValues()
580 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
581 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
584 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
585 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
588 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
589 element change pages not being recognized
590 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
591 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
592 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
593 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
594 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
597 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
600 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
601 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
604 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
605 normal, destructible wall
606 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
607 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
610 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
611 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
614 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
617 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
620 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
621 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
622 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
625 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
626 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
627 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
630 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
631 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
632 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
633 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
634 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
635 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
636 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
637 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
638 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
639 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
640 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
643 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
644 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
645 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
646 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
647 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
650 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
653 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
654 current levels current high score in the game panel
657 * version number set to 3.2.5
660 * version 3.2.4 released
663 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
666 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
669 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
670 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
671 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
672 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
673 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
676 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
677 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
680 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
681 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
682 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
683 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
684 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
685 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
686 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
687 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
690 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
693 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
694 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
695 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
696 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
697 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
698 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
699 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
700 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
701 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
702 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
703 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
704 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
705 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
706 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
707 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
708 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
709 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
712 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
713 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
716 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
719 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
720 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
721 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
724 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
725 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
728 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
729 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
730 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
733 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
734 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
737 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
740 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
741 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
742 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
743 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
744 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
745 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
746 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
747 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
748 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
749 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
750 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
751 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
752 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
753 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
754 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
755 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
756 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
759 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
760 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
761 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
764 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
765 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
766 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
767 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
770 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
773 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
774 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
775 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
778 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
779 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
780 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
781 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
782 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
785 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
788 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
791 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
792 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
793 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
796 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
797 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
798 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
799 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
800 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
801 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
802 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
805 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
808 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
809 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
810 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
811 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
812 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
815 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
818 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
819 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
820 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
821 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
822 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
825 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
826 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
827 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
830 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
831 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
834 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
835 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
836 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
837 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
839 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
840 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
843 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
844 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
845 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
846 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
847 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
848 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
849 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
850 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
851 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
853 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
854 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
855 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
857 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
858 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
859 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
860 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
861 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
863 to define the title screen images:
864 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
865 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
867 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
868 directory that have the following file names:
869 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
870 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
872 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
873 that affect all text messages:
874 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
875 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
876 or use directives that affect single text messages:
877 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
878 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
880 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
881 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
882 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
885 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
886 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
887 - readme.y: <top position>
888 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
889 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
890 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
891 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
892 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
893 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
894 - readme.font: font name
895 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
896 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
897 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
898 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
899 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
900 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
901 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
902 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
903 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
904 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
905 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
906 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
907 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
908 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
909 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
910 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
911 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
912 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
913 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
914 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
915 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
916 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
917 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
918 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
919 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
920 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
923 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
926 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
927 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
930 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
931 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
932 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
935 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
936 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
937 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
938 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
939 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
940 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
941 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
944 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
947 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
948 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
949 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
952 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
955 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
956 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
957 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
958 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
959 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
962 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
963 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
966 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
969 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
970 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
973 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
974 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
977 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
980 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
983 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
984 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
985 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
986 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
987 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
988 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
992 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
993 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
996 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
997 - growing steel walls
998 - snappable land mine
1001 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
1002 - steel text elements
1005 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
1008 * version number set to 3.2.4
1011 * version 3.2.3 released
1014 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
1015 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
1016 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
1017 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
1020 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
1023 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
1024 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
1027 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
1028 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
1029 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
1030 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
1031 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
1034 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
1035 screen fading is disabled
1038 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
1039 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
1040 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
1041 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
1044 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
1047 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
1050 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
1053 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
1056 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
1059 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
1060 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
1061 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
1062 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
1065 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
1066 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
1067 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
1068 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
1069 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
1070 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
1071 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
1074 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
1077 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
1080 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
1081 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
1082 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
1083 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
1084 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
1085 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1086 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1087 fading mode can also be specified:
1088 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1089 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1090 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
1091 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
1092 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
1095 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
1098 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
1099 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
1100 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1101 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1104 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1107 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1108 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
1109 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
1110 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
1111 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
1114 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
1115 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
1118 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
1119 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
1122 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
1123 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
1126 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
1127 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
1128 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
1129 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)
1130 * fixed bug with quick-saving tape snapshot despite answering with "no"
1133 * version number set to 3.2.3
1136 * version 3.2.2 released
1139 * fixed bug with redrawing screen in fullscreen mode after quick tape
1140 reloading when using the EMC game engine
1141 * changed token names from "last_ce_[1-8]" to "prev_ce_[1-8]"
1144 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
1147 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
1148 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
1149 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
1152 * version number set to 3.2.2
1155 * version 3.2.1 released
1158 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1161 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)
1164 * fixed bug that caused broken tapes when manually appending to tapes
1165 using the "pause before death" functionality, followed by recording
1166 * added setup option to disable fading of screens for faster testing
1169 * code cleanup of new fading functions
1172 * changed behaviour after solved game -- do not immediately stop engine
1173 * added some more smooth screen fadings (game start, hall of fame etc.)
1176 * fixed bug with displaying pushed CE with value/score/delay anim_mode
1179 * added configurable level preview position, tile size and dimensions
1180 * added configurable game panel value positions (gems, time, score etc.)
1183 * fixed small bug with time displayed incorrectly when collecting CEs
1186 * fixed bug with bumpy scrolling with EM engine in double player mode
1189 * added compatibility code to fix "Snake Bite" style levels that were
1190 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
1193 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1194 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1195 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1196 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1197 block in the element list)
1198 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1199 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1202 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1203 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1206 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1207 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1210 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in
1211 setup menu (input devices section) by using standard button gadgets
1212 * added support for mouse scroll wheel (caused buggy behaviour before)
1213 * added support for scrolling horizontal scrollbars with mouse wheel by
1214 holding "Shift" key pressed while scrolling the wheel
1215 * added support for single step mouse wheel scrolling by holding "Alt"
1216 key pressed while scrolling the wheel (can be combined with "Shift")
1217 * changed output file "stderr.txt" on Windows platform now always to be
1218 created in the R'n'D sub-directory of the personal documents directory
1219 * added Windows message box to direct to "stderr.txt" after error aborts
1222 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1225 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1226 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1229 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1230 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1231 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1234 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can
1235 affect multiple instances of the same CE, although this kind of
1236 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1239 * version number set to 3.2.1
1242 * version 3.2.0 released
1245 * reorganized level editor element list a bit to match engines better
1248 * fixed newly introduced bug with wrongly initializing clipboard element
1251 * fixed bug with displaying visible/invisible level border in editor
1254 * reorganized some elements in the level editor element list
1257 * fixed bug with displaying any player as "yellow" when moving into acid
1258 * fixed bug with displaying running player when player stopped at border
1261 * fixed bug with player exploding when moving into acid
1262 * fixed bug with level settings being reset in editor and when playing
1263 (some compatibility settings being set not only after level loading)
1264 * fixed crash bug when number of custom graphic frames was set to zero
1265 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1266 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1267 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1270 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1271 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1274 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1275 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code
1278 * added new chunk "NAME" to level file format for level name settings
1279 * added new chunk "NOTE" to level file format for envelope settings
1280 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1281 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1282 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1285 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1286 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1287 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1288 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1291 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1292 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1293 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1296 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1297 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1298 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1299 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1300 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1301 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1302 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1303 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1304 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1305 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1306 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1309 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1310 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1311 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
1312 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time
1313 * changed use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1314 level editor to start of previous or next cascading block of elements
1317 * added the possibility to view the title screen to the info screen menu
1318 * fixed some minor bugs with viewing title screens
1321 * fixed bug with title (cross)fading in/out when using fullscreen mode
1324 * fixed bug that forced re-defining of menu settings in local graphics
1325 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1326 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1329 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1330 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1331 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1334 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1335 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1338 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1341 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes
1342 * fixed bug with creating invisible elements when light switch is on
1345 * added selection between ECS and AGA graphics for EMC levels to setup
1348 * adjusted font handling for various narrow EMC style fonts

2259 * unavailable setup options now marked as "n/a" instead of "off"
2260 * new boolean directive "latest_engine" for "levelinfo.conf": when set

2386 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2387 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2388 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2389 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2391 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2392 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2393 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2394 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2396 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2397 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2398 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2399 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2400 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2402 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2403 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2405 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2427 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2429 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2430 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2431 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2432 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2434 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2435 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
2438 * version number set to 3.0.1

2464 * version number set to 2.1.1
2467 * version 2.1.0 released
2470 * version number set to 2.1.0
2472 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2473 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2474 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2476 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2477 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2478 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2479 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2480 when pressing the Escape key.)
2482 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2483 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2485 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2486 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2487 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2489 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2490 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2491 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2492 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2494 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2495 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2496 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2497 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2498 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2500 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2501 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2502 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2503 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2504 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2505 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2506 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2507 "pause before end" playing mode).
2509 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2510 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2512 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2513 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2514 to add more setup screens).
2516 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2517 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2518 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2520 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2521 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2522 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2524 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2525 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2526 correspondig changes.
2528 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2529 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2530 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2532 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2533 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2535 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2536 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2537 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2538 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2540 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2541 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2542 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2543 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2544 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2545 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2546 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2548 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2549 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2550 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2551 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2552 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2553 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2554 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2556 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2557 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2558 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2559 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2560 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2561 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2563 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2564 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2565 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2566 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2569 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2572 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2574 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2575 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2577 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2578 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2580 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2581 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2582 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2583 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2585 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2586 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2587 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2588 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2589 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2590 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2593 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2594 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2595 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2596 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2598 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2599 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2600 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2601 hall-of-fame music.)
2603 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2604 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2605 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2607 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2608 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2609 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2611 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2612 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2613 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2615 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2616 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2617 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2618 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2619 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2620 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2621 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2622 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2623 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2624 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2625 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2626 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2627 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2628 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2630 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2631 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2632 in a human readable format.
2634 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2635 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2636 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2637 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2639 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2640 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2641 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2642 StopAnimation() was not called.
2644 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2645 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2646 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2647 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2648 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2649 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2650 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2651 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2652 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2654 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2655 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2657 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2658 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2659 not getting killed by enemies
2661 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2662 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2663 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2665 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2666 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2667 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2668 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2669 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2670 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
