2 * fixed nasty bug (affecting crumbled graphics) after adding new special
3 graphics suffix ".TAPE" (and messing some things up in src/main.c)
6 * fixed wrong argument order in DrawTextBuffer() in gadgets.c
7 (this caused fonts in envelope config in level editor being invisible)
10 * fixed some problems with half tile size and even tile sized playfields
13 * added level selection screen (when clicking on main menu level number)
14 * added level tracing (played, solved) for use in level selection screen
15 (to display already played or solved levels in different font color)
18 * added alternative game mode for playing with half size playfield tiles
19 * fixed another memory violation bug in the native Supaplex game engine
20 (this potential memory bug was also in the original Megaplex code, but
21 apparently only occured under rare conditions triggered by using the
22 additional added preceding playfield memory area to make a few strange
23 levels using dirty off-playfield tricks (bugs) like "12s033.sp" also
24 solvable (this all worked fine in the classic DOS version, of course))
27 * added graphics performance optimization to native Supaplex game engine
28 * fixed bug with accidentally removing preceding buffer in SP engine
29 * moved some editor graphics from "RocksDoor.pcx" to "RocksMore.pcx"
30 (to prevent compatibility mapping of these newer graphics to older
31 (custom) versions of "RocksDoor.pcx" which did not contain them yet)
34 * added separately configurable game panel background to graphics config
35 * fixed displaying Supaplex time (now based on 35 fps instead of 50 fps)
38 * added tape panel graphics and screen positions to graphics config
41 * added compatibility stuff for redefined "global.door" (which affects
42 all parts of that image that have their own graphics definition now)
45 * added sound button graphics to graphics config
48 * added tape button graphics and screen positions to graphics config
51 * improved single step mode in R'n'D, EM and SP engines
54 * version number set to 3.3.0.2
57 * version 3.3.0.1 released
60 * added configurable key shortcuts for snap+direction player actions
61 (probably most useful for recording tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
62 tapes using the single-step mode of the tape recorder)
65 * version number set to 3.3.0.1
68 * version 3.3.0.0 released
71 * fixed missing memory allocation in SP engine when saving engine data
72 for non-SP game engine snapshots (which also stores SP engine part)
75 * fixed problem with scrolling in native EM engine in multi-user mode
76 (this bug was just introduced with the experimental viewport stuff)
77 * fixed animation of splashing acid in EM engine with classic artwork
78 * fixed animation of cracking nut in EM engine with classic artwork
79 * fixed (implemented) single step mode in native EM and SP engines
80 * fixed "latest_engine" flag in classic levels (moved to single sets)
81 * updated SDL library DLLs for Windows to the latest release versions
82 (this fixed some mysterious crashes of the game on Windows systems)
83 * replaced EM and SP set in classic level set with native level files
84 * finally added a newly written "CREDITS" file to the game package
85 * removed sampled music loops from classic music set
88 * changed native Emerald Mine engine to support different viewport sizes
91 * changed native Supaplex engine to support different viewport sizes
94 * added initial, experimental support for different viewport properties
95 (with "viewports" being menu/playfield area and doors; currently the
96 size of the menu/playfield area and door positions can be redefined)
99 * added initial, experimental support for different window sizes
102 * added support for native Sokoban solution files in pure 'udlrUDLR'
103 format with extension ".sln" instead of ".tape" for solution tapes
106 * added image config suffix ".class" to be able to define classes of
107 crumbled elements which are then separated against each others when
108 drawing crumbled borders (class names can freely be defined)
109 (Example: "sand.CRUMBLED.class: sand" and "emc_grass.CRUMBLED.class:
110 emc_grass" results in sand and emc_grass being crumbled separately,
111 even if directly adjacent on the playfield.)
112 * added image config suffix ".style" to use two new features for
114 - "accurate_borders": try to draw correctly crumbled corners (which
115 means that a row of crumbled elements does not have two crumbled
116 corners for each element in the row, but only at the "real" corners
117 at the start and the end of the row of elements)
118 - "inner_corners": also draw inner corners in concave constructions
119 of several crumbled elements -- this is currently a big kludge: the
120 number of frames for crumbled graphic must be "2", with the first
121 frame as usual (crumbled graphic), while the second frame contains
122 the graphic with inner (crumbled) corners for the crumbled graphic
123 (These two features are mainly intended for bevelled walls, not for
124 diggable elements like sand; "inner_corners" only works reliably for
125 static walls, not for in-game dynamically changing walls using CEs.)
128 * finished code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
131 * started code cleanup of native Supaplex game engine
134 * integrated playing sound effects into native Supaplex game engine
137 * added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
140 * added (hidden) function to save native Supaplex levels with tape as
141 native *.sp file containing level with demo (saved with a file name
142 similar to native R'n'D levels, but with ".sp" extension instead of
143 ".level"); to use this functionality, enter ":save-native-level" or
144 ":snl" from the main menu with the native Supaplex level loaded and
145 the appropriate tape loaded to the tape recorder
146 * fixed potential crash bug caused by illegal array access in engine
147 snapshot loading and saving code
148 * changed setting permissions of score files to be world-writable if
149 the program is not installed and running setgid to allow the program
150 to modify existing score files when run as a different user (which
151 allows cheating, of course, as the score files are not protected
152 against modification in this case)
153 * added (commented out) suggestions for RO_GAME_DIR and RW_GAME_DIR to
154 the top level Makefile for Debian / Ubuntu installations
155 * added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
156 (thanks to Bela Lubkin for the above four patches)
159 * added updating of game values on the panel to Supaplex game engine
162 * finished integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
163 (although some animations do not support full customizability yet)
166 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Infotron.c"
167 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "OrangeDisk.c"
170 * integrated engine snapshot functionality into Supaplex game engine
173 * fixed bug in native Supaplex engine that broke several demo solutions
174 * fixed bug with re-initializing already existing elements in function
175 RelocatePlayer() in src/game.c (causing problems with Sokoban fields
176 counted a second time, making the currently playing level unsolvable)
177 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "SnikSnaks.c"
178 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Electrons.c"
179 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Zonk.c"
182 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "Murphy.c"
183 * done integrating R'n'D graphics engine into file "BugsTerminals.c"
186 * started integrating R'n'D graphics engine into Supaplex game engine
189 * added small kludge that allows transparent pushing animation over
190 non-black background (by using "game.use_masked_pushing: true")
191 * added editor flag to Sokoban field/object elements to automatically
192 finish solved Sokoban style levels (even if they contain non-Sokoban
193 elements, which prevents auto-enabling this feature for such levels)
196 * added new element "from_level_template" which is replaced by element
197 from level template at same playfield position when loaded (currently
198 not accessible from level editor, but only used for special Sokoban
199 level conversion when using "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces")
200 * added special behaviour for "special_flags: load_xsb_to_ces": global
201 settings of individual level files are overwritten by template level
202 (except playfield size, level name, level author and template flag)
205 * added handling of gravity ports when converting Supaplex style R'n'D
206 levels to native Supaplex levels for playing with Supaplex engine
209 * fixed bug in Supaplex engine regarding initial screen scroll position
212 * fixed EMC style pushing animations in the R'n'D graphics engine (when
213 using ".2nd_movement_tile" for animations having start and end tile)
214 * for this to work (look) properly for two-tile pushing animations with
215 non-black (i.e. opaque) background, the pushing graphics drawing order
216 was changed to first draw the pushed element, then the player (maybe
217 this should be controlled by an ".anim_mode" flag yet to be added)
218 * two-tile animations for moving or pushing should have 7 frames for
219 normal speed, 15 frames for half speed etc. to display correct frames
220 * two-tile animations are also displayed correctly with different speed
221 settings for the player (for pushing animations) or moving elements
224 * added searching for template level (file "template.level") not only
225 inside the level set directory, but also in above level directories;
226 this makes is possible to use the same single template level file
227 (placed in a level group directory) for many level sub-directories
230 * fixed bug with steel exit being destructible during opening phase
231 * added token "special_flags" to "levelinfo.conf" (currently with the
232 only recognized value "load_xsb_to_ces", doing the same as the flag
233 "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" on the command line, but as a permanent flag for
234 converting all elements in native (XSB) Sokoban level files to CEs)
237 * fixed some problems with Supaplex engine when compiling for Windows
240 * added special mode to convert elements of Sokoban XSB levels to CEs
241 by adding "-Dload_xsb_to_ces" to the command line starting the game
242 (also adding a dependency to a template level file "template.level")
245 * added reading native Sokoban levels and level packages (XSB files)
248 * fixed bugs in (auto)scrolling behaviour when passing ports or when
249 wrapping around the playfield through "holes" in the playfield border
252 * changed internal playfield bitmap handling from playfield sized bitmap
253 to screen sized bitmap (visible scrolling area), therefore speeding up
254 graphics operations (by eliminating bitmap updates in invisible areas)
255 and removing playfield size limitations due to increasing bitmap size
256 for larger playfield sizes (while the new implementation always uses
257 a fixed playfield bitmap size for arbitrary internal playfield sizes)
260 * fixed bug with single step mode (there were some cases where the game
261 did not automatically return to pause mode, e.g. when trying to push
262 things that cannot be pushed or when trying to run against a wall)
265 * added support for loading Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
268 * fixed SP engine to set "game over" not before lead out counter done
271 * fixed (potential) compile error when using GCC option "-std=gnu99"
272 (thanks to Tom "spot" Callaway)
275 * fixed array allocation in native Supaplex engine to correctly handle
276 preceding scratch buffers (needed because of missing border checking)
277 * fixed playfield initialization to correctly add raw header bytes as
278 subsequent scratch buffer (needed because of missing border checking)
281 * most important parts of native Supaplex engine integration working:
282 - native Supaplex levels can be played in native Supaplex engine
283 - native Supaplex level/demo files ("*.sp" files) can be re-played
284 - all 111 classic original Supaplex levels automatically solvable
285 - native Supaplex engine can be selected and used from level editor
286 - logic of re-playing Supaplex demos migrated to R'n'D tape logic
289 * fixed another translation problem from VisualBasic to C (where "int"
290 should be "short") causing unsolvable demos with bugs and terminals
291 ("bugs" being related to the Supaplex "buggy base" element here ;-) )
294 * fixed bug when reading Supaplex single level files (preventing loader
295 from seeking to level position like in Supaplex level package files)
298 * first classic Supaplex level running and solved by solution/demo tape
301 * started with integration of native Supaplex engine, using source code
302 of Megaplex from Frank Schindler, based on original Supaplex engine
305 * version number set to 3.2.6.2
308 * version 3.2.6.1 released
311 * fixed bug with element_info[e].gfx_element not being initialized in
312 early game stage, causing native graphics in EMC level sets to be
313 mapped completely to EL_EMPTY (causing a blank screen when playing)
314 (this only happened when starting the program with an EMC set with
315 native graphics, but not when switching to such a set at runtime)
318 * deactivated blit-to-same-surface workaround again (see 2009-03-24)
319 and using self-compiled, patched SDL.dll that solves this problem
320 (interim solution until release of SDL 1.2.14 that should fix this)
323 * extended backwards compatibility mode to allow already fixed bug with
324 change actions (see "2008-02-05") for existing levels (especially the
325 Zelda and Zelda II levels and other cool stuff by Alan Bond like FMV)
328 * reactivated workaround to prevent program crashes due to blitting to
329 the same SDL surface that apparently only occurs on Windows systems
330 (this is no final solution; this problem needs further investigation)
333 * version number set to 3.2.6.1
336 * version 3.2.6.0 released
339 * fixed behaviour of player option "no centering when relocating" which
340 was incorrect when disabled and relocation target inside visible area
341 and "no scrolling when relocating" enabled at the same time
344 * fixed problems with re-mapping players on playfield to input devices:
345 previously, players found on the level playfield were changed to the
346 players connected to input devices (for example, player 3 in the level
347 was changed to player 1 (using artwork of player 3, to be able to use
348 a player with a different color)); this had the disadvantage that CE
349 conditions using player elements did not work (because the players in
350 the level definition are different to those effectively used in-game);
351 the new system uses the same player elements as defined in the level
352 playfield and re-maps the input devices of connected players to the
353 corresponding player elements when playing the level (in the above
354 example, player 3 now really exists in the game and is moved using the
355 events from input device 1); level tapes still store the events from
356 input devices 1 to 4, which are then re-mapped to players accordingly
357 when re-playing the tape (just as it is done when playing the level)
360 * fixed bug with player relocation while the player switches an element
363 * fixed bug with EM/DC style exit and EM/DC style steel exit which was
364 not walkable (and did not let the player enter) when in process of
365 opening, but not fully open yet (which can cause the player not being
366 able to enter the exit in EM/DC style levels in time)
369 * fixed some bugs regarding the new level/CE random seed reset options
372 * moved "level settings" and "editor settings" to two tabbed screens in
373 level editor to gain space for additional level property settings
374 * added level setting to start a level with always the same random seed
375 * added CE action "set random seed" to re-initialize random seed in game
376 (this is the only CE action that gets executed before the CE changes,
377 which is needed to use the newly set random seed during the CE change)
380 * fixed redraw problem of special editor door when playing from editor
383 * fixed initialization of gfx_element for level sketch image creation
386 * added switch for EM style dynamite "[ ] explodes with chain reaction"
387 (with default set to "on" for existing levels, but "off" for all new
388 levels), as EM style dynamite does not chain-explode in original EM
391 * added optional initial inventory for players (pre-collected elements)
392 * added change page actions "set player inventory" and "set CE artwork"
393 * added recognition of "player" parameter on change pages when player
394 actions are defined, but no trigger player in corresponding condition
395 (this resulted in actions that only affected the first player before)
396 * fixed bug with change actions being executed for newly created custom
397 elements resulting from custom element changes, when the intention was
398 only to check for change actions for the previous custom element
401 * changed design and size of element drawing area in level editor
402 * added "element used as action parameter" to element change actions
405 * added possibility to reanimate player immediately after his death
406 (for example, by "change to <player> when explosion of <player>")
409 * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
410 * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
413 * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
414 that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
415 but with the following differences:
416 - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
417 - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
420 * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
421 as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
424 - explosion of <element>
426 (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
427 first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
430 * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
431 in UpdateGameControlValues()
432 * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
433 game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
436 * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
437 try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
440 * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
441 element change pages not being recognized
442 * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
443 * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
444 other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
445 when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
446 push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
449 * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
452 * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
453 with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
456 * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
457 normal, destructible wall
458 * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
459 different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
462 * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
463 program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
466 * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
469 * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
472 * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
473 * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
474 * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
477 * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
478 * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
479 * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
482 * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
483 automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
484 custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
485 any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
486 * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
487 "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
488 defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
489 used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
490 custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
491 the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
492 would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
495 * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
496 for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
497 to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
498 * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
499 * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
502 * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
505 * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
506 current levels current high score in the game panel
509 * version number set to 3.2.5
512 * version 3.2.4 released
515 * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
518 * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
521 * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
522 unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
523 * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
524 if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
525 * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
528 * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
529 * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
532 * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
533 if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
534 element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
535 the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
536 triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
537 * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
538 default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
539 * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
542 * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
545 * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
546 those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
547 in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
548 directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
549 makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
550 are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
551 because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
552 set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
553 is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
554 * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
555 and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
556 * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
557 this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
558 value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
559 value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
560 that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
561 * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
564 * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
565 when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
568 * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
571 * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
572 config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
573 * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
576 * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
577 * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
580 * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
581 was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
582 (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
585 * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
586 enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
589 * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
592 * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
593 menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
594 in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
595 SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
596 used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
597 "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
598 choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
599 * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
600 - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
601 - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
602 - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
603 - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
604 - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
605 - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
606 - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
607 - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
608 * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
611 * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
612 * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
613 * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
616 * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
617 * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
618 unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
619 * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
622 * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
625 * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
626 * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
627 * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
630 * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
631 - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
632 - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
633 (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
634 * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
637 * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
640 * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
643 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
644 and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
645 for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
648 * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
649 * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
650 position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
651 * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
652 of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
653 * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
654 directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
657 * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
660 * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
661 values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
662 - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
663 - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
664 - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
667 * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
670 * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
671 teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
672 illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
673 since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
674 * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
677 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
678 and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
679 * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
682 * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
683 between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
686 * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
687 configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
688 * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
689 to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
691 * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
692 and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
695 * added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
696 which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
697 program startup) and title screens shown for a given level set; these
698 title screens can be composed of up to five title images and up to
699 five title text messages (each drawn using an optional background
700 image), also using background music and/or sounds; aspects like
701 background images, sounds and music of title screens can either be
702 defined generally (valid for all title screens) or specifically (and
703 therefore differently for each title screen) using these directives:
705 to define a background image, sound or music file for all screens:
706 - background.TITLE_INITIAL (for all title screens for game startup)
707 - background.TITLE (for all title screens for level sets)
709 to define a background image, sound or music file for a single screen:
710 - background.titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
711 - background.titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
712 - background.titlemessage_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
713 - background.titlemessage_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
715 to define the title screen images:
716 - titlescreen_initial_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
717 - titlescreen_x (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
719 to define the title text messages, place text files into the level set
720 directory that have the following file names:
721 - titlemessage_initial_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
722 - titlemessage_x.txt (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
724 to define the properties of the text messages, either use directives
725 that affect all text messages:
726 - [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
727 - [titlemessage].<suffix>
728 or use directives that affect single text messages:
729 - titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
730 - titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
732 valid values for <suffix> are the same as for readme.<suffix> below;
733 use ".sort_priority" (default: 0) to define an arbitrary order for
734 title images and title messages (which can therefore be mixed)
737 * added full configurability of "readme.txt" screen appearance:
738 - readme.x: <left position used with alignment>
739 - readme.y: <top position>
740 - readme.width: <maximim text width in pixels>
741 - readme.height: <maximum text height in pixels>
742 - readme.chars: <maximum number of chars per line>
743 - readme.lines: <maximum number of lines displayed>
744 - readme.align: left,center,right (default: center)
745 - readme.top: top,middle,bottom (default: top)
746 - readme.font: font name
747 - readme.autowrap: true,false (default: true)
748 - readme.centered: true,false (default: false)
749 - readme.parse_comments: true,false (default: true)
750 - readme.sort_priority: (not used here, but only for title screens)
751 when "readme.chars" and/or "readme.lines" is set to "-1" (this is the
752 default), they are automatically determined from "readme.width" and
753 "readme.height" accordingly; when they are not "-1", they have
754 precedence over "readme.width" and "readme.height"
755 * added internal ad-hoc config settings for displaying text files like
756 title messages or "readme.txt" style level set info files:
757 - .font: font name (default: readme.font)
758 - .autowrap: true,false (default: readme.autowrap)
759 - .centered: true,false (default: readme.centered)
760 - .parse_comments: true,false (default: readme.parse_comments)
761 (the leading '.' and the separating ':' are mandatory here); to use
762 these ad-hoc settings, they have to be written inside a comment, like
763 "# .autowrap: false" or "# .centered: true"; these settings then
764 override the above global settings (they can even be used more than
765 once, like "# .centered: true", then some text that should be drawn
766 centered, then "# .centered: false" to go back to non-centered text;
767 important note: after using "# .parse_comments: false", or when using
768 "readme.parse_comments: false", detecting and parsing comments inside
769 the file is disabled and comments are just printed like normal text;
770 also be aware that all automatic text size calculations are done with
771 the font defined in "readme.font", while using different fonts using
772 "# .font: <font>" inside the text file may cause unexpected results
775 * changed some numerical limits in the level editor from 255 to 999
778 * added option "system.sdl_videodriver" to select SDL video driver
779 * added output of SDL video and audio driver to "version info" page
782 * added group element drawing to IntelliDraw drawing functions
783 * fixed animation resetting problem again (last try broke Snake Bite)
784 * fixed diagonal scrolling in screen scrolling (last try broke Pac Man)
787 * added new (special) "include: <filename>" directive that works in all
788 configuration files (like "graphicsinfo.conf") and that has the same
789 effect as if that directive would be replaced with the content of the
790 specified file (this can be useful to split large configuration files
791 into several smaller ones and include them from one main file, or to
792 store configuration settings that always stay the same into a separate
793 file, while including it and only add those parts that really change)
796 * fixed minor bug (screen redraw of player tiles) in EMC graphics engine
799 * fixed bug in "InitMovingField()" where treating an integer array as
800 boolean caused wrong resetting of animations while elements are moving
801 * fixed problem with resetting animations when starting element change
804 * added sort priority for order of title screens and title messages
807 * changed end of game again: do not wait for the user to press a key
808 anymore, but directly ask/confirm tape saving and go to hall of fame
809 * re-enabled quitting of lost game by pressing space or return again
810 * added blanking of mouse pointer when displaying title screens
811 * added remaining menu draw offset definitions for info sub-screens
814 * added setup option to select game speed (from very slow to very fast)
815 * improved handling of title text messages (initial and for level set)
818 * added new options "auto-wrap" and "centered" for DC2 style envelopes
821 * fixed displaying and typing of player name when it is centered
822 * added special characters to be allowed for player name (not only A-Z)
825 * fixed blit in ScrollLevel() to same bitmap to not overlap anymore
826 (newer versions of the SDL library seem to not like this anymore)
829 * added code for configuration directives for control of game panel
832 * fixed small cosmetical bug with underlining property tabs in editor
835 * fixed small drawing bug in X11FadeRectangle
836 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
837 - EM/DC style exits that disappear after passing
838 - white key and gate (one white key needed for each white gate)
839 - fake gate (there is no key to open/pass this kind of gate!)
840 - extended magic wall which also handles pearls and crystals
844 * changed maximum value for endless loop detection to a higher value
845 (some levels really used very deep recursion without being endless)
848 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
849 - growing steel walls
850 - snappable land mine
853 * added new elements for newly supported Diamond Caves II levels:
854 - steel text elements
857 * added level file loader for native Diamond Caves II levels
860 * version number set to 3.2.4
863 * version 3.2.3 released
866 * fixed malloc/free bug when updating EMC artwork entries in level list
867 * added workaround (warning and request to quit the current game) when
868 changing elements cause endless recursion loop (which would otherwise
869 freeze the game, causing a crash-like program exit on some systems)
872 * fixed nasty string overflow bug when entering too long envelope text
875 * added feedback sounds for menu navigation "menu.item.activating" and
876 "menu.item.selecting" (for highlighting and executing menu entries)
879 * improved "no scrolling when relocating" to also consider scroll delay
880 (meaning that the player is not automatically centered in this case;
881 this makes it possible to "invisibly" relocate the player to a region
882 of the level playfield which looks the same as the old level region)
883 * fixed bug with not recognizing "main.input.name.align" when active
886 * fixed bug with displaying masked borders over title screens when
887 screen fading is disabled
890 * fixed infinite loop / crash bug when killing the player while having
891 a CE with the setting "kill player X when explosion of <player X>"
892 * added special editor graphic for "char_space" to distinguish it from
893 "empty_space" when editing a level (in-game graphics still the same)
896 * fixed nasty bug with initialization only done for the first player
899 * small change to handle loading empty element/content list micro chunks
902 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.3-0 binary and source code
905 * some optimizations on startup speed by reducing initial text output
908 * added caching of custom artwork information for faster startup times
911 * fixed graphical bug when using fewer menu entries on level selection
912 screen than usual (with "menu.list_size.LEVELS" directive)
913 * fixed crash bug (Windows/SDL only) caused by BlitBitmap blitting from
914 the backbuffer to the backbuffer by error (with identical rectangle)
917 * fixed bug when displaying titlescreen with size less than element tile
918 * fixed bug that caused elements with "change when digging <e>" event
919 to change for _every_ digged element, not only those specified in <e>
920 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when dropping element one
921 tile over the player that can both fall down and smash players
922 * fixed bug that caused impact style collision when element changed to
923 falling/smashing element over the player immediately after movement
926 * fixed bug that allowed making engine snapshots from the level editor
929 * fixed bugs with player name and current level positions on main screen
932 * added configuration directives for control of title screens:
933 - "title.fade_delay" for fading time
934 - "title.post_delay" for pause between screens (when not crossfading)
935 - "title.auto_delay" to automatically continue after some time
936 these settings can each be overridden by specifying them with titles:
937 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
938 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.{fade_delay,post_delay,auto_delay}"
939 fading mode can also be specified:
940 - "titlescreen_initial_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
941 - "titlescreen_{1-5}.anim_mode: {fade,crossfade}
942 default is using normal fading for menues and initial title screens,
943 while using cross-fading for level set title screens
944 * fixed bug with background not drawn in Hall of Fame after game was won
947 * added configuration directives for the remaining main menu items
950 * added additional configuration directives for info screen draw offset:
951 menu.draw_{x,y}offset.INFO[{ELEMENTS,MUSIC,CREDITS,PROGRAM,LEVELSET}]
952 * added additional configuration directives for preview info text
953 * limited mouse wheel sensitive screen area to scrollable screen area
956 * added highlighted menu text entries to menu navigation when selected
959 * fixed bug that prevented player from correctly being created in the
960 top left corner by a custom element change in a level without player
961 * fixed bug that prevented player from being killed when indestructible,
962 non-walkable element is placed on player position by extended change
963 * added configurable menu button, text and input positions to main menu
966 * added page fading effects for remaining info sub-screens
967 * fixed small bug that caused some delays when answering door request
970 * added directives "border.draw_masked.*" for menu/playfield area and
971 door areas to display overlapping/masked borders from "global.border"
974 * fixed bug with CE with move speed "not moving" not being animated
975 * when changing player artwork by CE action, reset animation frame
978 * fixed bug with not unmapping main menu screen gadgets on other screens
979 * fixed bug with un-pausing a paused game by releasing still pressed key
980 * fixed bug with not redrawing screen when toggling to/from fullscreen
981 mode while fast reloading tape (without redrawing playfield contents)

996 * fixed bug in GameWon() when level contains no exit (like in Sokoban)
999 * added engine snapshot functionality for instant tape reloading (this
1000 only works for the last tape saved using "quick save", and does not
1001 work across program restarts, because it completely works in memory)
1004 * version number set to 3.2.2
1007 * version 3.2.1 released
1010 * fixed nasty bugs with handling error message file on Mac OS X systems
1013 * general code cleanup (removing many annoying "#if 0" blocks etc.)

1038 * fixed bug with bumpy scrolling with EM engine in double player mode
1041 * added compatibility code to fix "Snake Bite" style levels that were
1042 broken due to a bugfix regarding EL_SOKOBAN_FIELD_PLAYER in 3.2.0
1045 * fixed bug with scrollbars inside editor when using the Windows mouse
1046 enhancement tool "True X-Mouse" (which injects key events to the event
1047 queue to insert selected stuff into the Windows clipboard, which gets
1048 confused with the "Insert" key for jumping to the last editor cascade
1049 block in the element list)
1050 * added Rocks'n'Diamonds icon for use as window icon to SDL version
1051 * added key shortcut "Alt + Enter" to toggle fullscreen mode at any time
1054 * added selection of preferred fullscreen mode to setup / graphics menu
1055 (useful if default mode 800 x 600 does not match screen aspect ratio)
1058 * improved down-scaling of images for better editor and preview graphics
1059 * changed user data directory for Mac OS X from Unix style to new place
1062 * improved level number selection in main menu and player selection in
1063 setup menu (input devices section) by using standard button gadgets

1074 * improved general scrollbar handling (when jump-scrolling scrollbars)
1077 * changed scrollbars to always show last line as first after scrolling
1078 (that means jumping n - 1 screen lines instead of n screen lines)
1081 * fixed level versions of EMC level loader (from V4 to V1, V2 and V3)
1082 * fixed level time for EMC levels for V2 engine (V2 and V5 levels)
1083 * fixed special handling of vertically stacked acid becoming fake acid
1086 * fixed bug (very special case) with CE_SCORE_GETS_ZERO, which can

1088 change condition usually only affects one single custom element
1091 * version number set to 3.2.1
1094 * version 3.2.0 released

1116 * fixed crash bug when number of custom graphic frames was set to zero
1117 * fixed bug with teleporting player on walkable tile not working anymore
1118 * added partial compatibility support for pre-release-only "CONF" chunk
1119 (to make Alan Bond's "color cycle" demo work again :-) )
1122 * fixed some bugs when displaying title screens from info screen menu
1123 * fixed bug which caused EMC doors #5 to #8 to be passable without keys
1126 * changed file major version to 3 to reflect level file format changes
1127 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-8 binary and source code
1130 * added new chunk "NAME" to level file format for level name settings
1131 * added new chunk "NOTE" to level file format for envelope settings
1132 * changed name of chunk "CONF" to "ELEM" (for normal element settings)
1133 * updated magic(5) file to recognize changed and new level file chunks
1134 * removed change events "change when CE value/score changes" as unneeded
1137 * changed gravity (which only affects the player) from level property
1138 to player property (only makes a difference in multi-player levels)
1139 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes"
1140 * added change events "change when CE value/score changes of <element>"
1143 * added new chunk "INFO" to level file format for global level settings
1144 * added all element settings from "HEAD" chunk to "CONF" chunk
1145 * added all global level settings from "HEAD" chunk to "INFO" chunk
1148 * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
1149 elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
1150 elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
1151 chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
1152 already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
1153 which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
1154 (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
1155 too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
1156 reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
1157 requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
1158 with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
1161 * added credits pages to the "credits" section that were really missing
1162 * added some missing element descriptions to the level editor
1163 * added down position of switchgate switch to the level editor
1164 and allowed the use of both switch positions at the same time
1165 * changed use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1166 level editor to start of previous or next cascading block of elements
1169 * added the possibility to view the title screen to the info screen menu
1170 * fixed some minor bugs with viewing title screens
1173 * fixed bug with title (cross)fading in/out when using fullscreen mode
1176 * fixed bug that forced re-defining of menu settings in local graphics
1177 config file which are already defined in existing base config file
1178 * fixed small bug that caused door sounds playing when music is enabled
1181 * added the possibility to define up to five title screens for each
1182 level set that are displayed after loading using (cross)fading in/out
1183 (this was added to display the various start images of the EMC sets)
1186 * added "CE score gets zero [of]" to custom element trigger conditions
1187 * added setup option to display element token name in level editor
1190 * added compatibility code for Juergen Bonhagen's menu artwork settings
1193 * fixed bug with displaying wrong animation frame 0 after CE changes
1194 * fixed bug with creating invisible elements when light switch is on
1197 * added selection between ECS and AGA graphics for EMC levels to setup

1206 * fixed handling of over-large selectboxes (less error-prone now)
1207 * fixed bug when creating GE with walkable element under the player
1210 * added use of "Insert" and "Delete" keys to navigate element list in
1211 level editor to start of custom elements or start of group elements
1212 * added virtual elements to access CE value and CE score of elements:
1213 - "CE value of triggering element"
1214 - "CE score of triggering element"
1215 - "CE value of current element"
1216 - "CE score of current element"
1219 * fixed "grass" to "sand" in older EM levels (up to file version V4)
1222 * changed behaviour of network games with internal errors (because of
1223 different client frame counters) from immediately terminating R'n'D
1224 to displaying an error message requester and stopping only the game
1225 (also to prevent impression of crashes under non command-line runs)
1226 * fixed playing network games with the EMC engine (did not work before)
1227 * fixed bug with not scrolling the screen in multi-player mode with the
1228 focus on player 1 when all players are moving in different directions
1229 * fixed bug with keeping pointer to gadget even after its deallocation
1230 * fixed bug with allowing "focus on all players" in network games
1231 * fixed bug with player focus when playing tapes from network games
1234 * uploaded pre-release (test) version 3.2.0-7 binary and source code
1237 * code cleanup for game action control for R'n'D and EMC game engine

1261 * added delayed ignition of EM style dynamite when used in R'n'D engine
1262 * added limited movement range to EMC engine when focus on all players
1265 * fixed bug with missing (zero) score values for native Supaplex levels
1268 * added "continuous snapping" (snapping many elements while holding the
1269 snap key pressed, without releasing the snap key after each element)
1270 as a new player setting for more compatibility with the classic games
1273 * finished scrolling for "focus on all players" in EMC graphics engine
1276 * level sets with "levels: 0" are ignored for levels, but not artwork
1277 * fixed bug when scanning empty level group directories (endless loop)
1280 * fixed bug with explosion graphic for player using "Murphy" graphic
1281 * fixed bug with explosion graphic if player leaves explosion in time

1319 * improved screen redraw for EMC graphics engine (faster and smoother)
1320 * when not scrolling, do not redraw the whole playfield if not needed
1323 * added multi-player mode for EMC game engine (with up to four players)
1326 * added android (can clone elements) from EMC engine to R'n'D engine
1329 * added spring bumper (reflects spring) from EMC engine to R'n'D engine
1332 * added selectbox for initial player speed to player settings in editor
1335 * version 3.1.2 created that is basically version 3.1.1, but with a
1336 major bug fixed that prevented editing your own private levels
1337 * version 3.1.2 released
1340 * added magic ball (creates elements) from EMC engine to R'n'D engine

2238 * changed all "classic" PCX image files with 16 colors or less to
2239 256 color (8 bit) storage format, because the Allegro game library

2241 graphics are not affected and might look wrong in the DOS version)
2243 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2244 * fixed bug which (for example) crashed the level editor when defining
2245 "dynamite.EDITOR: [NONE]", because graphics may not be undefined

2248 2003-08-16 src/init.c
2249 * fixed graphical bug of player digging/collecting/snapping element
2250 when no corresponding graphic/animation is defined for this action,

2252 done to elements being collected, but not to the player)
2254 2003-08-16 src/game.c
2255 * fixed small graphical bug of player not totally moving into exit
2257 2003-08-16 src/libgame/setup.c

2281 2003-08-07 src/files.c, src/editor.c src/game.c, src/main.h
2282 * extended variable "level.gravity" to "level.initial_gravity" and
2283 "game.current_gravity" to prevent level setting from being changed
2284 by playing the level (keeping the runtime value after playing)
2286 * fixed graphics bug when digging element that has 'crumbled' graphic
2287 definition, but not 'diggable' graphic definition

2319 * version 2.1.0 released
2322 * version number set to 2.1.0
2324 2002-04-03 to 2002-05-19 (various source files)
2325 * graphics, sounds and music now fully configurable
2326 * bug fixed that prevented walking through tubes when gravity on
2328 2002-04-02 src/events.c, src/editor.c
2329 * Make Escape key less aggressive when playing or when editing level.
2330 This can be configured as an option in the setup menu. (Default is
2331 "less aggressive" which means "ask user if something can be lost"
2332 when pressing the Escape key.)
2334 2002-04-02 src/screen.c
2335 * Added "graphics setup" screen.
2337 2002-04-01 src/screen.c
2338 * Changed "choose level" setup screen stuff to be more generic (to
2339 make it easier to add more "choose from generic tree" setup screens).
2341 2002-04-01 src/config.c, src/timestamp.h
2342 * Added source files "src/config.[ch]" and "src/timestamp.h" (which
2343 automatically gets created by "src/Makefile" and contains an actual
2344 compile-time timestamp to identify development versions of the game).
2346 2002-03-31 src/tape.c, src/events.c
2347 * Added quick game/tape save/load functions to tape stuff which can be
2348 invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Default: "F1" saves game/tape, "F2"
2349 loads previously recorded tape and directly goes into recording mode
2350 from the end of the tape (therefore appending to the tape).
2352 2002-03-31 src/tape.c
2353 * Added "index mark" function to tape recorder. When playing or
2354 recording, "eject" button changes to "index" button. Setting index
2355 mark is not yet implemented, but pressing index button when playing
2356 allows very quick advancing to end of tape (when normal playing),
2357 very fast forward mode (when playing with normal fast forward) or
2358 very fast reaching of "pause before end of tape" (when playing with
2359 "pause before end" playing mode).
2361 2002-03-30 src/cartoons.c
2362 * Moved some stuff from cartoons.c to the new "src/libgame/toons.c".
2364 2002-03-29 src/screen.c
2365 * Changed setup screen stuff to be more generic (to make it easier
2366 to add more setup screens).
2368 2002-03-23 src/main.c, src/main.h
2369 * Various changes due to the introduction of the new libgame files
2370 "setup.c" and "joystick.c".
2372 2002-03-23 src/files.c
2373 * Generic parts of "src/files.c" (mainly setup and level directory
2374 stuff) moved to new libgame file "src/libgame/setup.c".
2376 2002-03-23 src/joystick.c
2377 * File "src/joystick.c" moved to libgame source tree, with
2378 correspondig changes.
2380 2002-03-22 src/screens.c
2381 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Another bug in level series navigation fixed.
2382 (Wrong level series information displayed when entering main group.)
2384 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2385 * Slight change to support new gadget event "GD_EVENT_INFO_LEAVING".
2387 2002-03-22 src/editor.c
2388 * Changed behaviour of "Escape" key in level editor to be more
2389 intuitive: When in "Element Properties" or "Level Info" mode,
2390 return to "Drawing Mode" instead of leaving the level editor.
2392 2002-03-21 src/game.c, src/editor.c, src/files.c
2393 * 2.0.1 introduced the corrected "Emerald Mine" style behaviour of
2394 gems (emeralds, diamonds, ...) slipping down from normal wall,
2395 steel wall and growing wall (as in E.M.C. style levels). Although
2396 the behaviour of contributed and private levels wasn't changed (due
2397 to the use of "level.game_version"; see previous entry), editing
2398 those levels will (of course) change the behaviour accordingly.
2400 This change seems a bit too hard after thinking about it, because
2401 the EM style behaviour is not the "expected" behaviour (gems would
2402 normally only slip down from "rounded" walls). Therefore this was
2403 now changed to an element property for gem style elements, with the
2404 default setting "off" (which means: no special EM style behaviour).
2405 To fix older converted levels, this flag is set to "on" for pre-2.0
2406 levels that are neither contributed nor private levels.
2408 2002-03-20 src/files.h
2409 * Corrected settings for "level.game_version" depending of level type.
2410 (Contributed and private levels always get played with game engine
2411 version they were created with, while converted levels always get
2412 played with the most recent version of the game engine, to let new
2413 corrections of the emulation behaviour take effect.)
2415 2002-03-20 src/main.h
2416 * Added "#include <time.h>". This seems to be needed by "tape.c" for
2417 compiling the SDL version on some systems.
2418 Thanks to the several people who pointed this out.
2421 * Version number set to 2.0.2.
2424 * Version 2.0.1 released.
2426 2002-03-18 src/screens.c
2427 * "HandleChooseLevel()": Small bug in level series navigation fixed.
2429 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2430 * Moved some common functions from src/files.c to src/libgame/misc.c.
2432 2002-03-18 src/files.c [src/libgame/misc.c]
2433 * Changed permissions for new directories and saved files (especially
2434 score files) according to suggestions of Debian users and mantainers.
2435 Thanks to Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com> for the patch.
2437 2002-03-17 src/files.c
2438 * Changed "{Load|Save}{Level|Tape}()" to IFF style file format:
2439 Replaced "cookie" header string ("ROCKSNDIAMONDS_...\n") with
2440 real IFF style header "RND1....XXXX" (where "XXXX" is "CAVE"
2441 for levels and "TAPE" for tapes). Old "cookie" style format is
2442 still supported for reading. New level and tape files are written
2445 * New IFF chunk "VERS" contains version numbers for file and game
2446 (where "game version" is the version of the program that wrote the
2447 file, and "file version" is a version number to distinguish files
2448 with different format, for example after adding new features).
2450 2002-03-15 src/screen.c
2451 * "DrawHallOfFame()": "FadeSounds()" when entering the hall of fame.
2452 (Before, you heard a mixture of the in-game music and the
2453 hall-of-fame music.)
2455 2002-03-14 src/events.c
2456 * Function "DumpTape()" (files.c) now available by pressing 't' from
2457 main menu (when in DEBUG mode).
2459 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2460 * "GameWon()": When game was won playing a tape, now there is no delay
2461 raising the score and no corresponding sound is played.
2463 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2464 * Changed "LoadTape()" for real chunk support and also adjusted
2465 "SaveTape()" accordingly.
2467 2002-03-14 src/game.c, src/tape.c, src/files.c
2468 * Important changes to tape format: The old tape format stored all
2469 actions with a real effect with a corresponding delay between the
2470 stored actions. This had some major disadvantages (for example,
2471 push delays had to be ignored, pressing a button for some seconds
2472 mutated to several single button presses because of the non-action
2473 delays between two action frames etc.). The new tape format just
2474 stupidly records all device actions and replays them later. I really
2475 don't know why I haven't solved it that way before?! Old-style tapes
2476 (with tape file version less than 2.0) get converted to the new
2477 format on-the-fly when loading and can therefore still be played;
2478 only some minor parts of the old-style tape handling code was needed.
2479 (A perfect conversion is not possible, because there is information
2480 missing about the device actions between two action frames.)
2482 2002-03-14 src/files.c
2483 * New function "DumpTape()" to dump the contents of the current tape
2484 in a human readable format.
2486 2002-03-14 src/game.c
2487 * Small tape bug fixed: When automatically advancing to next level
2488 after a game was won, the tape from the previous level still was
2489 loaded as a tape for the new level.
2491 2002-03-14 src/tape.c
2492 * Small graphical bug fixed: When pressing ""Record" or "Play" on
2493 tape, cartoons did not get completely removed because
2494 StopAnimation() was not called.
2496 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2497 * Changed "LoadLevel()" and "SaveLevel()" to add new chunk "CNT2".
2498 Fixed bug of "CONT" and "BODY" (chunk size was set to 8-bit element
2499 size even when using 16-bit elements). Added new chunk "CNT2" for
2500 16-bit amoeba content (previously written in 8-bit field in "HEAD"
2501 chunk even when content was 16-bit element). "CNT2" should now be
2502 able to store content for arbitrary elements (up to eight blocks of
2503 3 x 3 element arrays). All "CNT2" elements will always be stored as
2504 16-bit elements. "CONT" (with 8/16-bit elements) now obsolete.
2506 2002-03-13 src/files.c
2507 * Changed "LoadLevel()" for real chunk support.
2509 2002-03-12 src/game.c
2510 * Fixed problem (introduced after 2.0.0 release) with penguins
2511 not getting killed by enemies
2513 2002-02-24 src/game.c, src/main.h
2514 * Added "player->is_moving"; now "player->last_move_dir" does
2515 not contain any information if the player is just moving at
2517 Before, "player->last_move_dir" was misused for this purpose
2518 for the robot stuff (robots don't kill players when they are
2519 moving). But setting "player->last_move_dir" to MV_NO_MOVING
2520 broke tapes when walking through pipes!
2521 ("IS_MOVING()" uses "MovPos[][]", but this fails when it is 0
2522 in a continuous movement. This fact is ignored for friends and
