2 * improved speed of displaying progress when loading levels and artwork
3 * changed fullscreen and window scaling changes in setup menu to have
4 immediate effect (instead of being effective after leaving setup menu)
7 * fixed toons stopping on continuous touch events on Mac OS X
10 * fixed bug when displaying game envelope with even sized playfield
11 * added graphic configuration options for request (dialog) buttons
14 * fixed some redraw bugs with window scaling under Mac OS X
17 * fixed problems with window scaling and updating related setup value
20 * fixed problems related to fullscreen switching and window scaling
23 * fixed inconsistent custom artwork contant numbering in src/main.h,
24 src/screen.c and src/conf_gfx.c (this really should be cleaned up)
25 (this bug caused custom artwork definition to set wrong variable)
28 * fixed using fullscreen mode on Android instead of pseudo-window mode
29 * fixed keeping desktop fullscreen mode when changing viewport size
32 * fixed remaining text input problems for non-ASCII keys with modifier
33 * added window scaling options to graphics setup menu
36 * fixed key code problems with certain keys for SDL2
37 (keypad keys not being in numerical order; number of function keys)
38 * fixed text input problems for text characters using modifier keys
41 * fixed fullscreen option for SDL2 (using only desktop fullscreen now)
44 * fixed graphical bugs when using renderer/texture based graphics
47 * fixed playing certain sounds (menu navigation sound and counting
48 score sound after solving a level) when "normal sounds" are disabled
51 * continued porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (levels now playable)
54 * added SDL2 renderer/texture based graphics frame handling to allow for
55 "desktop" style fullscreen mode and scaling of game screen/window
58 * removed limitation of artwork files to selected file types (this means
59 that every file type supported by SDL_image and SDL_mixer can be used)
60 * changed default graphics vom PCX to PNG (needed for Android version to
61 prevent painfully slow loading of images, although not compressing PCX
62 files in the assets directory of the APK package might also work fine)
63 * fixed bug with SDL_BlitSurface creating garbage when source and target
64 surface are the same (this bug also existed in versions of SDL 1.2.x)
67 * started porting Rocks'n'Diamonds to Android (already shows main menu)
70 * ported Rocks'n'Diamonds to SDL2 (first simple version that works)
73 * version number set to 3.3.1.3
76 * version 3.3.1.2 released
79 * improved error handling: display error message on screen (not only in
80 the error file or on the console), and display path of the error file
83 * fixed problem with R'n'D restarting with same level set that may have
84 caused a problem (and therefore failing again and again); after an
85 error, the last level set is now deactivated in file "levelsetup.conf"
86 to restart with default level set (which should work without error)
89 * fixed determining main game data directory on Mac OS X "Mavericks"
92 * version number set to 3.3.1.2
95 * version 3.3.1.1 released
98 * added scripts directory to distribution package to enable building
99 element definitions after editing artwork config source code files
102 * added volume controls for sounds, loops and music to sound setup
105 * version number set to 3.3.1.1
108 * version 3.3.1.0 released
111 * version number set to 3.3.1.0
114 * fixed display of level time switching from ascending to descending
115 when making use of the "time orb bug" (see element setting in editor)
116 (see level 053 of set "rnd_equinox_tetrachloride_ii" for an example)
117 * fixed graphics performance problems (especially on Mac OS X) by using
118 whole-playfield redraw on SDL target, while still using the previous
119 single-tile redraw method on X11 target (using redraw tiles threshold)
122 * fixed code (esp. random/tape handling) when compiled on 64-bit systems
123 (by replacing all "long" types by "int" types)
126 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
127 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
130 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
131 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
134 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
137 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
138 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
139 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
142 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
143 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
144 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
145 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
146 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
147 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
148 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
151 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
152 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
153 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
154 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
155 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
158 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
159 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
162 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
165 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
166 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
169 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
172 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
175 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
178 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
181 * version 3.3.0.1 released
184 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
185 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
186 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
189 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
192 * version 3.3.0.0 released
195 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
196 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
199 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
200 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
201 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
202 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
203 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
204 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
205 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
206 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
207 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
208 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
209 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
212 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
215 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
218 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
219 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
220 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
223 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
226 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
227 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
230 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
231 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
232 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
233 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
234 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
235 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
236 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
238 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
239 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
240 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
241 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
242 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
243 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
244 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
245 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
246 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
247 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
248 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
249 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
252 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
255 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
258 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
261 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
264 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
265 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
266 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
267 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
268 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
269 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
270 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
271 snapshot loading and saving code
272 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
273 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
274 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
275 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
276 against modification in this case)
277 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
278 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
279 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
280 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
283 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
286 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
287 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
290 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
291 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
294 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
297 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
298 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
299 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
300 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
301 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
302 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
303 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
306 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
307 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
310 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
313 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
314 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
315 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
316 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
317 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
320 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
321 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
322 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
323 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
324 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
325 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
326 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
329 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
330 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
333 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
336 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
337 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
338 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
339 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
340 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
341 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
342 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
343 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
344 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
345 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
348 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
349 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
350 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
351 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
354 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
355 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
356 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
357 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
358 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
361 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
364 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
365 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
366 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
369 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
372 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
373 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
376 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
377 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
378 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
379 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
380 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
381 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
384 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
385 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
386 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
389 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
392 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
395 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
396 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
399 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
400 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
401 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
402 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
405 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
406 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
407 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
408 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
409 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
410 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
413 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
414 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
415 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
418 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
419 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
422 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
425 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
426 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
429 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
432 * version 3.2.6.1 released
435 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
436 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
437 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
438 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
439 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
442 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
443 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
444 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
447 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
448 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
449 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
452 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
453 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
454 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
457 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
460 * version 3.2.6.0 released
463 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
464 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
465 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
468 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
469 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
470 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
471 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
472 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
473 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
474 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
475 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
476 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
477 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
478 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
479 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
480 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
481 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
484 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
487 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
488 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
489 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
490 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
493 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
496 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
497 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
498 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
499 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
500 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
501 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
504 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
507 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
510 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
511 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
512 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
515 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
516 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
517 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
518 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
519 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
520 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
521 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
522 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
525 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
526 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
529 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
530 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
533 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
534 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
537 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
538 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
539 but with the following differences:
540 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
541 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
544 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
545 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
548 - explosion of <element>
550 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
551 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
554 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
555 in UpdateGameControlValues()
556 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
557 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
560 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
561 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
564 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
565 element change pages not being recognized
566 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
567 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
568 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
569 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
570 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
573 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
576 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
577 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
580 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
581 normal, destructible wall
582 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
583 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
586 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
587 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
590 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
593 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
596 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
597 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
598 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
601 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
602 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
603 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
606 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
607 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
608 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
609 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
610 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
611 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
612 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
613 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
614 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
615 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
616 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
619 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
620 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
621 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
622 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
623 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
626 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
629 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
630 current levels current high score in the game panel
633 * version number set to 3.2.5
636 * version 3.2.4 released
639 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
642 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
645 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
646 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
647 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
648 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
649 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
652 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
653 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
656 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
657 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
658 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
659 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
660 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
661 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
662 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
663 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
666 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
669 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
670 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
671 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
672 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
673 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
674 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
675 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
676 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
677 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
678 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
679 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
680 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
681 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
682 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
683 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
684 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
685 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
688 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
689 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
692 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
695 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
696 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
697 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
700 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
701 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
704 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
705 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
706 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
709 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
710 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
713 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
716 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
717 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
718 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
719 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
720 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
721 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
722 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
723 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
724 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
725 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
726 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
727 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
728 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
729 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
730 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
731 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
732 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
735 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
736 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
737 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
740 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
741 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
742 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
743 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
746 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
749 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
750 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
751 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
754 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
755 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
756 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
757 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
758 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
761 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
764 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
767 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
768 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
769 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
772 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
773 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
774 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
775 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
776 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
777 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
778 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
781 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
784 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
785 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
786 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
787 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
788 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
791 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
794 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
795 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
796 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
797 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
798 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
801 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
802 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
803 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
806 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
807 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
810 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
811 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
812 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
813 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
815 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
816 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
819 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
820 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
821 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
822 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
823 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
824 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
825 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
826 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
827 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
829 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
830 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
831 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
833 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
834 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
835 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
836 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
837 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
839 to define the title screen images:
840 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
841 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
843 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
844 directory that have the following file names:
845 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
846 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
848 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
849 that affect all text messages:
850 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
851 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
852 or use directives that affect single text messages:
853 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
854 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
856 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
857 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
858 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
861 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
862 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
863 - readme.y: <top position>
864 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
865 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
866 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
867 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
868 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
869 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
870 - readme.font: font name
871 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
872 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
873 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
874 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
875 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
876 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
877 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
878 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
879 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
880 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
881 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
882 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
883 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
884 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
885 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
886 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
887 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
888 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
889 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
890 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
891 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
892 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
893 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
894 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
895 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
896 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
899 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
902 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
903 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
906 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
907 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
908 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
911 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
912 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
913 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
914 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
915 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
916 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
917 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
920 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
923 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
924 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
925 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
928 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
931 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
932 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
933 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
934 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
935 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
938 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
939 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
942 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
945 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
946 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
949 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
950 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
953 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
956 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
959 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
960 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
961 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
962 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
963 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
964 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
968 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
969 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
972 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
973 - growing steel walls
974 - snappable land mine
977 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
978 - steel text elements
981 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
984 * version number set to 3.2.4
987 * version 3.2.3 released
990 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
991 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
992 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
993 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
996 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
999 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
1000 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
1003 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
1004 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
1005 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
1006 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
1007 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
1010 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
1011 screen fading is disabled
1014 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
1015 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
1016 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
1017 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
1020 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
1023 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
1026 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
1029 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
1032 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
1035 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
1036 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
1037 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
1038 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
1041 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
1042 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
1043 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
1044 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
1045 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
1046 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
1047 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
1050 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
1053 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
1056 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
1057 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
1058 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
1059 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
1060 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
1061 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1062 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
1063 fading mode can also be specified:
1064 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1065 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
1066 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
1067 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
1068 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
1071 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
1074 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
1075 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
1076 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
1077 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
1080 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
1083 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
1084 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
1085 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
1086 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
1087 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
1090 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
1091 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
1094 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
1095 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
1098 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
1099 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
1102 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
1103 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
1104 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
1105 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)
1106 * fixed bug with quick-saving tape snapshot despite answering with "no"
1109 * version number set to 3.2.3
1112 * version 3.2.2 released
1115 * fixed bug with redrawing screen in fullscreen mode after quick tape
1116 reloading when using the EMC game engine
1117 * changed token names from "last_ce_[1-8]" to "prev_ce_[1-8]"
1120 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
1123 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
1124 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
1125 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
1128 * version number set to 3.2.2
1131 * version 3.2.1 released
1134 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1137 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)
1140 * fixed bug that caused broken tapes when manually appending to tapes
1141 using the "pause before death" functionality, followed by recording
1142 * added setup option to disable fading of screens for faster testing
1145 * code cleanup of new fading functions
1148 * changed behaviour after solved game -- do not immediately stop engine
1149 * added some more smooth screen fadings (game start, hall of fame etc.)
1152 * fixed bug with displaying pushed CE with value/score/delay anim_mode
1155 * added configurable level preview position, tile size and dimensions
1156 * added configurable game panel value positions (gems, time, score etc.)
1159 * fixed small bug with time displayed incorrectly when collecting CEs
1162 * fixed bug with bumpy scrolling with EM engine in double player mode
1165 * added compatibility code to fix "Snake Bite" style levels that were
1166 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
1169 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1170 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1171 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1172 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1173 block in the element list)
1174 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1175 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1178 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1179 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1182 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1183 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1186 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in
1187 setup menu (input devices section) by using standard button gadgets

1189 * added support for scrolling horizontal scrollbars with mouse wheel by
1190 holding "Shift" key pressed while scrolling the wheel
1191 * added support for single step mouse wheel scrolling by holding "Alt"
1192 key pressed while scrolling the wheel (can be combined with "Shift")
1193 * changed output file "stderr.txt" on Windows platform now always to be
1194 created in the R'n'D sub-directory of the personal documents directory
1195 * added Windows message box to direct to "stderr.txt" after error aborts
1198 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1201 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1202 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1205 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1206 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1207 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1210 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can
1211 affect multiple instances of the same CE, although this kind of
1212 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1215 * version number set to 3.2.1
1218 * version 3.2.0 released
1221 * reorganized level editor element list a bit to match engines better
1224 * fixed newly introduced bug with wrongly initializing clipboard element
1227 * fixed bug with displaying visible/invisible level border in editor
1230 * reorganized some elements in the level editor element list
1233 * fixed bug with displaying any player as "yellow" when moving into acid
1234 * fixed bug with displaying running player when player stopped at border
1237 * fixed bug with player exploding when moving into acid
1238 * fixed bug with level settings being reset in editor and when playing
1239 (some compatibility settings being set not only after level loading)
1240 * fixed crash bug when number of custom graphic frames was set to zero
1241 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1242 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1243 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1246 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1247 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1250 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1251 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code
1254 * added new chunk "NAME" to level file format for level name settings
1255 * added new chunk "NOTE" to level file format for envelope settings
1256 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1257 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1258 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1261 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1262 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1263 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1264 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1267 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1268 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1269 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1272 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1273 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1274 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1275 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1276 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1277 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1278 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1279 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1280 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1281 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1282 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1285 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1286 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1287 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
1288 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time
1289 * changed use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1290 level editor to start of previous or next cascading block of elements
1293 * added the possibility to view the title screen to the info screen menu
1294 * fixed some minor bugs with viewing title screens
1297 * fixed bug with title (cross)fading in/out when using fullscreen mode
1300 * fixed bug that forced re-defining of menu settings in local graphics
1301 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1302 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1305 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1306 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1307 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1310 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1311 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1314 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1317 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes
1318 * fixed bug with creating invisible elements when light switch is on
1321 * added selection between ECS and AGA graphics for EMC levels to setup
1324 * adjusted font handling for various narrow EMC style fonts
1327 * changed EM engine behaviour back to re-allow initial rolling springs
1330 * fixed handling of over-large selectboxes (less error-prone now)
1331 * fixed bug when creating GE with walkable element under the player
1334 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1335 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
1336 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
1337 - "CE value of triggering element"
1338 - "CE score of triggering element"
1339 - "CE value of current element"
1340 - "CE score of current element"
1343 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1346 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of

2235 * unavailable setup options now marked as "n/a" instead of "off"
2236 * new boolean directive "latest_engine" for "levelinfo.conf": when set

2362 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2363 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library
2364 cannot handle PCX files with less than 256 colors (contributed
2365 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2367 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2368 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2369 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined
2370 (only set to default) -- invalid graphics now set to default graphic
2372 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2373 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2374 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,
2375 resulting in player being drawn as EL_EMPTY (which should only be
2376 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2378 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2379 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2381 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2403 * fixed bug with missing graphic for active red disk bomb
2405 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2406 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2407 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2408 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2410 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2411 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition
2414 * version number set to 3.0.1

2437 * version 2.1.1 released
2440 * version number set to 2.1.1
2443 * version 2.1.0 released
2446 * version number set to 2.1.0
2448 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2449 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2450 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2452 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2453 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2454 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2455 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2456 when pressing the Escape key.)
2458 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2459 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2461 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2462 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2463 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2465 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2466 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2467 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2468 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2470 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2471 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2472 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2473 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2474 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2476 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2477 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2478 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2479 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2480 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2481 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2482 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2483 "pause before end" playing mode).
2485 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2486 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2488 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2489 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2490 to add more setup screens).
2492 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2493 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2494 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2496 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2497 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2498 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2500 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2501 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2502 correspondig changes.
2504 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2505 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2506 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2508 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2509 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2511 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2512 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2513 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2514 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2516 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2517 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2518 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2519 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2520 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2521 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2522 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2524 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2525 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2526 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2527 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2528 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2529 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2530 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2532 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2533 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2534 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2535 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2536 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2537 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2539 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2540 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2541 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2542 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2545 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2548 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2550 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2551 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2553 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2554 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2556 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2557 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2558 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2559 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2561 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2562 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2563 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2564 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2565 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2566 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2569 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2570 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2571 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2572 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2574 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2575 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2576 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2577 hall-of-fame music.)
2579 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2580 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2581 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2583 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2584 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2585 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2587 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2588 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2589 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2591 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2592 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2593 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2594 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2595 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2596 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2597 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2598 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2599 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2600 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2601 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2602 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2603 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2604 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2606 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2607 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2608 in a human readable format.
2610 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2611 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2612 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2613 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2615 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2616 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2617 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2618 StopAnimation() was not called.
2620 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2621 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2622 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2623 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2624 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2625 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2626 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2627 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2628 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2630 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2631 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2633 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2634 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2635 not getting killed by enemies
2637 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2638 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2639 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2641 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2642 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2643 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2644 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2645 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2646 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
