2 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
5 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
6 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
7 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
10 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
11 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
12 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
13 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
14 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
15 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
16 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
19 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
20 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
21 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
22 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
23 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
26 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
27 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
30 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
33 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
34 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
37 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
40 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
43 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
46 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
49 * version 3.3.0.1 released
52 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
53 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
54 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
57 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
60 * version 3.3.0.0 released
63 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
64 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
67 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
68 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
69 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
70 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
71 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
72 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
73 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
74 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
75 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
76 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
77 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
80 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
83 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
86 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
87 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
88 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
91 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
94 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
95 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
98 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
99 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
100 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
101 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
102 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
103 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
104 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
106 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
107 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
108 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
109 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
110 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
111 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
112 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
113 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
114 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
115 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
116 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
117 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
120 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
123 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
126 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
129 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
132 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
133 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
134 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
135 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
136 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
137 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
138 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
139 snapshot loading and saving code
140 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
141 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
142 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
143 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
144 against modification in this case)
145 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
146 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
147 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
148 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
151 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
154 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
155 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
158 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
159 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
162 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
165 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
166 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
167 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
168 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
169 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
170 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
171 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
174 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
175 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
178 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
181 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
182 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
183 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
184 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
185 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
188 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
189 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
190 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
191 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
192 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
193 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
194 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
197 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
198 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
201 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
204 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
205 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
206 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
207 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
208 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
209 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
210 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
211 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
212 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
213 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
216 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
217 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
218 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
219 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
222 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
223 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
224 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
225 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
226 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
229 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
232 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
233 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
234 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
237 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
240 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
241 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
244 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
245 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
246 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
247 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
248 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
249 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
252 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
253 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
254 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
257 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
260 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
263 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
264 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
267 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
268 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
269 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
270 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
273 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
274 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
275 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
276 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
277 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
278 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
281 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
282 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
283 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
286 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
287 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
290 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
293 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
294 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
297 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
300 * version 3.2.6.1 released
303 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
304 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
305 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
306 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
307 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
310 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
311 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
312 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
315 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
316 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
317 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
320 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
321 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
322 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
325 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
328 * version 3.2.6.0 released
331 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
332 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
333 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
336 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
337 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
338 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
339 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
340 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
341 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
342 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
343 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
344 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
345 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
346 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
347 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
348 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
349 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
352 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
355 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
356 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
357 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
358 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
361 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
364 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
365 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
366 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
367 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
368 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
369 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
372 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
375 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
378 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
379 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
380 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
383 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
384 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
385 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
386 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
387 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
388 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
389 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
390 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
393 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
394 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
397 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
398 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
401 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
402 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
405 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
406 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
407 but with the following differences:
408 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
409 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
412 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
413 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
416 - explosion of <element>
418 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
419 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
422 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
423 in UpdateGameControlValues()
424 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
425 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
428 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
429 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
432 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
433 element change pages not being recognized
434 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
435 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
436 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
437 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
438 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
441 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
444 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
445 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
448 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
449 normal, destructible wall
450 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
451 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
454 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
455 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
458 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
461 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
464 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
465 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
466 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
469 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
470 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
471 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
474 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
475 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
476 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
477 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
478 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
479 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
480 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
481 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
482 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
483 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
484 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
487 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
488 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
489 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
490 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
491 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
494 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
497 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
498 current levels current high score in the game panel
501 * version number set to 3.2.5
504 * version 3.2.4 released
507 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
510 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
513 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
514 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
515 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
516 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
517 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
520 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
521 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
524 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
525 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
526 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
527 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
528 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
529 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
530 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
531 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
534 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
537 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
538 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
539 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
540 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
541 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
542 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
543 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
544 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
545 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
546 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
547 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
548 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
549 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
550 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
551 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
552 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
553 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
556 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
557 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
560 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
563 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
564 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
565 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
568 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
569 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
572 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
573 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
574 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
577 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
578 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
581 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
584 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
585 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
586 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
587 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
588 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
589 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
590 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
591 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
592 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
593 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
594 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
595 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
596 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
597 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
598 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
599 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
600 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
603 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
604 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
605 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
608 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
609 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
610 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
611 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
614 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
617 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
618 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
619 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
622 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
623 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
624 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
625 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
626 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
629 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
632 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
635 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
636 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
637 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
640 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
641 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
642 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
643 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
644 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
645 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
646 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
649 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
652 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
653 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
654 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
655 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
656 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
659 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
662 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
663 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
664 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
665 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
666 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
669 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
670 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
671 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
674 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
675 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
678 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
679 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
680 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
681 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
683 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
684 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
687 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
688 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
689 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
690 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
691 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
692 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
693 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
694 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
695 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
697 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
698 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
699 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
701 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
702 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
703 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
704 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
705 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
707 to define the title screen images:
708 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
709 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
711 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
712 directory that have the following file names:
713 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
714 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
716 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
717 that affect all text messages:
718 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
719 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
720 or use directives that affect single text messages:
721 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
722 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
724 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
725 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
726 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
729 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
730 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
731 - readme.y: <top position>
732 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
733 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
734 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
735 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
736 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
737 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
738 - readme.font: font name
739 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
740 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
741 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
742 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
743 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
744 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
745 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
746 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
747 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
748 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
749 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
750 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
751 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
752 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
753 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
754 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
755 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
756 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
757 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
758 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
759 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
760 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
761 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
762 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
763 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
764 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
767 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
770 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
771 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
774 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
775 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
776 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
779 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
780 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
781 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
782 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
783 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
784 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
785 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
788 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
791 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
792 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
793 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
796 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
799 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
800 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
801 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
802 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
803 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
806 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
807 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
810 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
813 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
814 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
817 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
818 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
821 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
824 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
827 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
828 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
829 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
830 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
831 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
832 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
836 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
837 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
840 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
841 - growing steel walls
842 - snappable land mine
845 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
846 - steel text elements
849 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
852 * version number set to 3.2.4
855 * version 3.2.3 released
858 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
859 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
860 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
861 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
864 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
867 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
868 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
871 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
872 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
873 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
874 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
875 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
878 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
879 screen fading is disabled
882 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
883 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
884 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
885 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
888 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
891 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
894 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
897 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
900 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
903 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
904 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
905 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
906 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
909 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
910 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
911 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
912 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
913 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
914 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
915 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
918 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
921 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
924 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
925 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
926 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
927 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
928 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
929 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
930 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
931 fading mode can also be specified:
932 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
933 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
934 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
935 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
936 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
939 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
942 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
943 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
944 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
945 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
948 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
951 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
952 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
953 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
954 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
955 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
958 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
959 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
962 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
963 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
966 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
967 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
970 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
971 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
972 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
973 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)

988 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
991 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
992 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
993 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
996 * version number set to 3.2.2
999 * version 3.2.1 released
1002 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1005 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)

1037 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1038 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1039 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1040 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1041 block in the element list)
1042 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1043 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1046 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1047 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1050 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1051 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1054 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in
1055 setup menu (input devices section) by using standard button gadgets

1066 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1069 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1070 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1073 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1074 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1075 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1078 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can
1079 affect multiple instances of the same CE, although this kind of
1080 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1083 * version number set to 3.2.1
1086 * version 3.2.0 released

1109 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1110 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1111 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1114 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1115 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1118 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1119 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code
1122 * added new chunk "NAME" to level file format for level name settings
1123 * added new chunk "NOTE" to level file format for envelope settings
1124 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1125 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1126 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1129 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1130 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1131 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1132 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1135 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1136 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1137 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1140 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1141 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1142 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1143 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1144 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1145 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1146 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1147 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1148 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1149 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1150 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1153 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1154 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1155 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
1156 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time

1168 * fixed bug that forced re-defining of menu settings in local graphics
1169 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1170 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1173 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1174 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1175 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1178 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1179 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1182 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1185 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes
1186 * fixed bug with creating invisible elements when light switch is on
1189 * added selection between ECS and AGA graphics for EMC levels to setup
1192 * adjusted font handling for various narrow EMC style fonts
1195 * changed EM engine behaviour back to re-allow initial rolling springs
1198 * fixed handling of over-large selectboxes (less error-prone now)
1199 * fixed bug when creating GE with walkable element under the player
1202 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1203 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
1204 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
1205 - "CE value of triggering element"
1206 - "CE score of triggering element"
1207 - "CE value of current element"
1208 - "CE score of current element"
1211 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1214 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1215 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
1216 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
1217 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
1218 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)
1219 * fixed bug with not scrolling the screen in multi-player mode with the
1220 focus on player 1 when all players are moving in different directions
1221 * fixed bug with keeping pointer to gadget even after its deallocation
1222 * fixed bug with allowing "focus on all players" in network games
1223 * fixed bug with player focus when playing tapes from network games
1226 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-7 binary and source code
1229 * code cleanup for game action control for R'n'D and EMC game engine

1253 * added delayed ignition of EM style dynamite when used in R'n'D engine
1254 * added limited movement range to EMC engine when focus on all players
1257 * fixed bug with missing (zero) score values for native Supaplex levels
1260 * added "continuous snapping" (snapping many elements while holding the
1261 snap key pressed, without releasing the snap key after each element)
1262 as a new player setting for more compatibility with the classic games
1265 * finished scrolling for "focus on all players" in EMC graphics engine
1268 * level sets with "levels: 0" are ignored for levels, but not artwork
1269 * fixed bug when scanning empty level group directories (endless loop)

1311 * improved screen redraw for EMC graphics engine (faster and smoother)
1312 * when not scrolling, do not redraw the whole playfield if not needed
1315 * added multi-player mode for EMC game engine (with up to four players)
1318 * added android (can clone elements) from EMC engine to R'n'D engine
1321 * added spring bumper (reflects spring) from EMC engine to R'n'D engine
1324 * added selectbox for initial player speed to player settings in editor
1327 * version 3.1.2 created that is basically version 3.1.1, but with a

2233 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2235 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2236 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2237 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined

2240 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2241 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2242 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,

2246 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2247 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2249 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2273 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2274 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2275 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2276 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2278 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2279 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition

2314 * version number set to 2.1.0
2316 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2317 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2318 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2320 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2321 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2322 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2323 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2324 when pressing the Escape key.)
2326 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2327 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2329 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2330 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2331 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2333 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2334 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2335 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2336 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2338 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2339 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2340 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2341 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2342 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2344 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2345 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2346 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2347 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2348 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2349 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2350 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2351 "pause before end" playing mode).
2353 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2354 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2356 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2357 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2358 to add more setup screens).
2360 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2361 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2362 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2364 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2365 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2366 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2368 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2369 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2370 correspondig changes.
2372 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2373 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2374 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2376 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2377 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2379 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2380 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2381 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2382 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2384 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2385 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2386 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2387 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2388 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2389 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2390 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2392 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2393 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2394 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2395 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2396 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2397 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2398 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2400 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2401 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2402 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2403 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2404 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2405 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2407 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2408 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2409 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2410 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2413 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2416 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2418 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2419 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2421 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2422 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2424 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2425 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2426 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2427 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2429 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2430 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2431 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2432 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2433 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2434 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2437 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2438 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2439 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2440 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2442 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2443 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2444 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2445 hall-of-fame music.)
2447 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2448 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2449 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2451 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2452 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2453 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2455 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2456 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2457 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2459 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2460 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2461 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2462 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2463 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2464 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2465 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2466 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2467 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2468 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2469 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2470 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2471 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2472 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2474 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2475 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2476 in a human readable format.
2478 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2479 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2480 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2481 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2483 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2484 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2485 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2486 StopAnimation() was not called.
2488 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2489 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2490 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2491 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2492 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2493 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2494 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2495 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2496 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2498 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2499 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2501 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2502 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2503 not getting killed by enemies
2505 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2506 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2507 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2509 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2510 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2511 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2512 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2513 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2514 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
