This is another piece of state that needs to be kept and re-played when
switching language, because a different language could change the
dimensions of the text box, which affects how it's centered.
Also, to make sure that crewmate positions override any text centering,
the scriptclass variables textx and texty should be reset in the
position and customposition commands.
This allows switching languages while a text box is on screen by saving
the necessary state for a text box to be retranslated when the language
is switched.
This saves the state of the position and direction of the crewmate that
the text box position is based off of (if applicable), and the text
case of the text box, the script name of the script, and the original
(English) lines of the text box. I did not explicitly label the original
lines as English lines except in a main game context, because
technically, custom levels could have original lines in a different
language.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work for every text box in the game.
Notably, the Level Complete, Game Complete, number of crewmates
remaining, trinket collection, Intermission 1 guides, etc. text boxes
are special and require further fixes, but that will be coming in later
commits.
It doesn't make sense to change the alignment of all existing text boxes
when you're not otherwise able to mutate the text. Whereas the point of
the 'all' argument in setfont is to be able to animate text boxes using
fonts.
There used to be a problem with the setfont and setrtl script commands.
Namely, if you used them in between text boxes naïvely, without any
careful thought, then the fading out text box would suddenly gain the
font of the new one. A kludge solution to this was implemented by simply
blocking the script until the existing text box faded out before
switching the font or RTL, and shipped for 2.4.0.
However, a better solution is to simply bake the font flags in to the
text box, so that way, if the level font switches, then the text box
keeps its font.
This is only for custom levels, because in the main game, the font in a
text box needs to be able to change depending on language. But it seems
like custom level translations weren't much on the roadmap, and so even
the existing hack didn't support changing the font based on translation
(even though translation of custom level cutscenes is supported). So
baking the font flags into the text box here doesn't make things any
worse.
It also makes things better, arguably, by allowing multiple text boxes
to exist on screen at once with different fonts.
Maybe in the future we'll need a flag that specifies that the font
should change depending on language if a translation in said language
exists for the text box, or something like that.
For people that want to override the fonts of every existing text box on
screen, you can specify "all" as the second parameter of setfont or
setrtl to do so.
This makes it so that only inputs between 1 and 255 inclusive will be
accepted. Otherwise, the command has no effect.
This is because the text case is stored as one byte in a string, and a
value of zero would be the null terminator.
We also want to minimize potential weirdness with integer wrapping if we
accept inputs from outside those bounds. While the textcase variable as
used throughout the codebase is plain unqualified `char` (which, unlike
other integers, exists in a quantum superposition of being signed and
unsigned depending on compiler, machine, and various other stuff) and so
there still might be issues there, we definitely don't want anything
higher than 255.
If you load in to gameplay with invincibility mode, glitchrunner mode,
Flip Mode, or slowdown enabled, then there will be text displayed on
screen for a few seconds that says so.
This is to serve as a useful reminder. A common pitfall with using
invincibility is forgetting to turn it off when you don't want it
anymore. What usually happens is that players forget that they have it
on until they encounter a hazard. Now, they can realize it as soon as
they load in.
See #1091.
With the <font> tag (which doesn't indicate RTL-ness as explained),
we've had a setfont(font) scripting command. Now we have an <rtl>
tag, so we need a setrtl(on/off) command too to control that.
The hardest room used to be stored as a room name in whatever language
it was in when you last died enough times to break the record (before
localization, that was always English). Even after localization became
a thing we could get away with this since we only had a single font,
but now we might have actual question marks appearing when the new font
doesn't support characters from the old language.
Therefore, this commit adds more info about the hardest room to save
files - everything that is needed to know in order to do the
translation at display time. These are hardestroom_x and hardestroom_y
for the room coordinates, as well as hardestroom_specialname to mark
special names, in addition to changing the stored room name back to
English. I've also added hardestroom_finalstretch in case we later
decide to drop the English name as a key and rely on just the
coordinates (even though I think that change itself would be more
complicated than any simplification it would accomplish, and I don't
think it's necessary, but better to have it if we do need it later)
`levelcomplete` and `gamecomplete` were hardcoded using textbox colors
which were offset by 1. This PR fixes that, no longer requiring
slightly-off colors, and instead adding a new property to textboxes
which tell the game to display either level complete or game complete.
This commit adds a system for displaying sprites in textboxes, meant to
replace the hardcoded system in the main game. This does not support
levelcomplete.png and gamecomplete.png yet, which will most likely just
be special cases.
This is what got saved to the area part of the <summary> tags, and it
was specifically set upon pressing ACTION to save in the map menu.
Which meant tsave.vvv may not get an accurate area name (notably
"nowhere" if you hadn't quicksaved before in that session) even though
it's not displayed anywhere so it didn't really matter. But this
variable can be removed - there's only one place where <summary> is
written for both quicksaves and telesaves, so that now gets the area
at saving time.
Fun fact: custom level quicksaves also have a <summary> tag, and it's
even less functional than the one in tsave.vvv, because it stores
whatever main-game area name applies to your current coordinates.
So I simply filled in the level's name instead (just like what the
actual save box says).
This commit fixes an obscure bug with `destroy(moving)` and
`destroy(disappear)` where, when looping through entities, the code
doesn't actually check what the entity is before trying to destroy the
block underneath it.
To fix this, we just put the block-destroying code *inside* of the
check, instead of being outside of it.
I also fixed the code style because it was horrible.
Closes#925.
My fix here is to delay the font change until all fading-out textboxes
have disappeared. See it as adding a sort of `untilbars` or `untilfade`
for text box fadeout, into setfont.
This doesn't prevent every possible way to change the font of an
existing textbox, but you would need to use internal scripting to still
do it (and basically be doing it on purpose) - the problem in
simplified scripting when you simply do textbox-setfont-textbox is
gone.
This commit removes the `NO_EDITOR` and `NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS` defines,
which cleans up the code a lot, and they weren't really needed anyways.
This commit also disables the editor on the Steam Deck, and adds a
program argument to re-enable the editor, `-enable-editor`.
This adds an anonymous enum for the unlock and unlocknotify arrays and
unlocknum function, and replaces all integer literals with them.
This is not named and thus cannot be used for strict typechecking
because these are actually indexes into an array in XML save files, so
the numbers themselves matter a lot.
This replaces the swngame int variable with a named enum and enforces
strict typechecking on it.
Strict typechecking is okay here as the swngame variable is not part of
the API surface of the game in any way and is completely internal.
And just to make things clear, I've added a SWN_NONE enum to use for
initialization, because previously it was being initialized to 0, even
though 0 was the Gravitron.
This adds an anonymous enum for sound effects and replaces all calls to
music.playef that use integer literals.
This is not a named enum (that can be used for strict typechecking)
because sound effect IDs are essentially part of the API of the game -
many custom levels use these numbers. This is just to make the source
code more readable without needing a comment to denote what number is
what sound.
This adds an anonymous enum for music tracks and replaces all calls to
music.play and music.niceplay that use integer literals. Additionally,
this is also done for integer literals for cl.levmusic (except 0) and
music.currentsong where appropriate, but _not_ the music areamap because
that would not make it look very aesthetically pleasing in the code.
This is not a named enum (that can be used for strict typechecking)
because music track IDs are essentially part of the API of the game -
almost every custom level uses these numbers. This is just to make the
source code more readable without needing a comment to denote what
number is what track.
This adds a "- Press {button} to skip -" prompt to both the credits and
ending picture sequences.
It was always possible to skip them by pressing Enter, but not many
people knew this. In fact, even I didn't know this until I saw Elomavi
do it a year or so ago. So it's not really intuitive that this is
possible.
The prompt only shows up if you've completed the game before, and
disappears after two seconds similar to the "[Press {button} to return
to editor]" text.
Unfortunately, given how the game works, game completion is detected
based on if you have unlocked Flip Mode or not. At this point, the
unlock for the game being completed (unlock 5) will already be set to
true no matter what during the Plenary fanfare, but the Flip Mode unlock
(unlock 18) won't be until the player hits "play" on the main menu. As a
special case, the prompt will always show up in M&P (because Flip Mode
is always unlocked in M&P).
This command was changed from setactivityposition(x,y) to
setactivityposition(y), but there's a small problem here:
```diff
else if (words[0] == "setactivityposition")
{
- obj.customactivitypositionx = ss_toi(words[1]);
obj.customactivitypositiony = ss_toi(words[2]);
}
```
This meant that the function still took two arguments, the first of
which was unused and the second of which was the Y position of the
activity zone. This is now fixed.
game.quittomenu() correctly resets state, as it's the function that's
always used when quitting to menu. This fixes a bug where if a level
with assets failed to load, it wouldn't unload the assets.
After the scriptclass::startgamemode refactor, a lot of common code is
still being executed even if the level loading failed. This sets the
game-gamestate to TITLEMODE in gotoerrorloadinglevel(), and also returns
early just in case.
Fixes#975.
This updates the interpolation positions of the player when transforming
into and out of VVVVVV-Man.
Otherwise, it can be seen that the player "zips" quickly during these
transformations if the Secret Lab entrance cutscene is played with
screen effects off.
There's a few places where textboxes are constructed through code, but
they pass in the color's RGB values in manually. This commit
unhardcodes most of them them, replacing them with a color lookup.
The ones that weren't changed are special cases, like `175, 174, 174`.
This was easier than I expected - just add an optional buttons="1"
attribute to cutscenes.xml. It's treated like the speaker attribute -
it's only there as context for the translator, and for the cutscene
test.
Violet's dialogue now looks like this:
squeak(purple)
text(purple,0,0,2)
Remember that you can press {b_map}
to check where you are on the map!
position(purple,above)
textbuttons()
speak_active
The new textbuttons() command sets the next textbox to replace {b_map}
with the map button, and {b_int} with the interact button. The
remaining keys would be added as soon as they need to be added to
ActionSets.h as well.
This commit moves everything left out of the previous commit to the
state system. This means a bunch of new functions were added as well,
to avoid the code in each function becoming too huge. A lot of cleanup
was done as well, simplifying logic, merging duplicated code, etc.
This commit does NOT touch "script hooks", script editor logic and
autotiling, as those seem to be their own separate beasts.
This commit replaces the old system with the new one, making it much
easier to edit the transforming and glitchy roomnames. Additionally,
this syncs flag 72 to finalstretch.

This commit adds a better system for animated roomnames.
The old system, like many other systems, were very hardcoded, and can be
described as mostly else-if chains, with some fun string comparisons.
The new system uses lists of text for transformations and glitchy names,
making it much easier to add new cases if needeed.
This commit implements the system but does not replace the old system,
where that is done in the next commit.
The settings for special roomnames can be read from level XML, and
`setroomname()` can be used from commands to set a new, static name.
After discussing with Ally and Dav, we came to the agreement that this
is basically useless since the prompt will always be centered and take
up most of the horizontal space of the screen.
And the x-position was only added as an offset because at some point,
there was a missing space from the side of the "- Press ENTER to
Teleport -" prompt, and the offset was there so people could mimic the
prompt accordingly. But that was fixed at some point, so it's useless
now.
By default, when you open the level editor to start a new level, the
level font will now match your VVVVVV language; so if you're, say,
Japanese, then you can make Japanese levels from the get-go. If you
want to make levels for a different target audience, you can change the
font via a new menu (map settings > change description > change font).
The game will remember this choice and it will become the new initial
level font.
If a custom level doesn't specify a font, it should be the 8x8 font.
But the main game can't specify a font, it's just the interface font
because that's for the language that the game is in.
They need to know how wide the text is going to be in a particular
font, so font::string_wordwrap and font::string_wordwrap_balanced now
take a flags argument like all the printing and dimensions-getting
functions. next_wrap and next_wrap_s take a Font* now, they're internal
to Font.cpp so they can take a Font and avoid double flag-parsing. But
if any non-Font.cpp code needs next_wrap/next_wrap_s in the future, I'd
just make a public wrapper that takes a uint32_t flags and passes the
Font* to the internal functions.
Some textboxes need to be in the level font (like room names, cutscene
dialogue, etc - even in the main game), and some need to be in the
interface font (like when you collect a shiny trinket or crewmate). So
most of these textboxes now have graphics.textboxprintflags(font_flag)
as appropriate.
RoomnameTranslator.cpp is now also migrated to the new print system -
in room name translator mode, the room name is now displayed in the 8x8
font if it's untranslated and the level font if it is.
Level text such as room names, text box content, and the contents of
the script editor need to be displayed in the level-specific font, and
tweaked to look right. This involves displaying less lines in the
script editor, making text boxes bigger, displaying some text higher
and some text lower. This is still unfinished, but it's the real start
of a migration to font::print functions!
The following functions were moved directly:
- next_wrap
- next_wrap_s
- string_wordwrap
- string_wordwrap_balanced
- string_unwordwrap
These ones will probably still need get a flags argument, except for
string_unwordwrap (since they need to know what font we're talking
about.
The implementation of graphics.len has also been moved to Font.cpp,
but graphics.len still exists for now and is deprecated.
The MAKEANDPLAY, NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS, and NO_EDITOR defines remove content
or features. However, they then raise several warnings because of some
cases, functions, or variables that end up not being used.
This silences them by using the UNUSED macro, or by adding a default
catch-all case if the define is defined (so unhandled cases will still
raise warnings in a build that doesn't have these defines).
