This infinite loop would occur because once you pressed left or right,
the game keeps searching through all the list of teleporters until it
finds one that is unlocked. But if there's none that are unlocked, then
the game goes into an infinite loop, which brings up the Not Responding
dialog on Windows so you can kill it.
Normally, you're not supposed to have no teleporters unlocked while
being able to access a teleporter, but you can achieve this by going to
Class Dismissed from a custom level (while making sure you don't start
in 0,0, because there's a teleporter there that you would unlock).
The solution is to make sure at least one teleporter is unlocked before
doing any searching.
A do-while is just a while-loop, but the inner block will always run
once before the conditional is checked.
It looks like in order to achieve this desired behavior (always run the
block once before checking the conditional), instead of using a do-while
loop, Terry just used a normal while-loop and copy-pasted the inner
block on the outside.
So I'm de-duplicating the code.
This was caused by the fact that not all unlocks were done through the
Game::unlocknum() function. Some just set the unlock number directly.
But it's fixed now.
Ved has this useful feature where instead of having to manually travel
to a room whose coordinates you know, you can just press G and type in
coordinates to go there.
VCE added this, but I changed the text to be "x,y" instead of "(x,y)"
because otherwise it could confuse someone into thinking they need to
type parentheses when in reality they don't need to and typing them will
just make it not work.
Also I made sure to add an error message if the user types in an invalid
format. Failing silently would just confuse people, and maybe they'll
start thinking the feature doesn't work or something like that. VCE
doesn't have this helpful error message.
Lastly, VCE has a bug where if you use the shortcut to go from one
horizontally/vertically warping room to another, the background of the
previous room will still be there and scroll off with the background of
the room you went to, instead of just having the new background only.
This is because they forgot a 'graphics.backgrounddrawn = false;'. But
don't worry, *I* didn't forget about it.
This is basically FIQ's patch from VCE, except he never upstreamed it
because he said something along the lines of it seeming to not fit the
purpose of upstream.
But anyway, it basically just de-duplicates all the text input and text
finishing handling code and cuts down on the large amount of copy-paste
in the editor functions. It makes things way more maintainable.
Interesting note, it seems like FIQ had the intent to refactor the text
input in editor settings (i.e. the level metadata details), but never
got around to it in VCE. Maybe we'll finish that job for him later.
The problem we're running into is entirely contained in the Screen - we need to
either decouple graphics context init from Screen::init or we need to take out
the screenbuffer interaction from loadstats (which I'm more in favor of since we
can just pull the config values and pass them to Screen::init later).
Allowing users to reverse cycle tilesets/tilecols/enemies prevents them
from having to press the hotkey a zillion times in order to get to the
one they want if the one they want just happens to be behind the current
one they're on.
This tilecol conveniently lets players use one of the unpatterned Space
Station tilesets you see on the left side of tiles.png but never get to
use without Direct Mode.
It does have a few weird quirks, but it should be safe to use.
Previously, it was:
if (ed.settingsmod)
{
(Settings menu controls)
...
}
else
{
(Literally everything else
Also a bunch of copy-pasted ed.keydelay checks)
...
}
Now it is:
if (ed.settingsmod)
{
(Settings menu controls)
...
}
else if (ed.keydelay > 0)
{
ed.keydelay--;
}
else if (key.keymap[SDLK_LCTRL] || key.keymap[SDLK_RCTRL])
{
// Ctrl modifiers
...
}
else if (key.keymap[SDLK_LSHIFT] || key.keymap[SDLK_RSHIFT])
{
// Shift modifiers
...
}
else
{
// No modifiers
ed.shiftkey = false;
...
}
It might not counteract how completely huge this code is, but it's at
least organized better.
Also, I had to change the map resize logic around slightly, else it'll
get triggered any time you do a shift modifier keypress.
Their drawframe needs to be incremented by 2 instead of 1, because
they're double-sized.
Animation type 3 is used by the cloud emitter in The Solution is
Dilution, animation type 6 is used by the radar dish in Comms Relay.
Animation type 4 is used by the maverick bus in B-B-B-Busted, but it's
not noticeable since it spawns offscreen. This bug would cause all of
those entities to appear incorrectly for the deltaframes between the
tick the room got loaded and the next tick after that.
This is noticeable in flibit's tweet showing off my over-30-FPS patch:
https://twitter.com/flibitijibibo/status/1273983014930993153
Now that you have a mini menu in MAPMODE, it's a bit annoying to have to
deal with the slowed-down timestep when pressing left/right/ACTION
inside it. Especially since going to an options menu restores the
timestep back to normal (because it's in TITLEMODE). Also removed it
from TELEPORTERMODE for consistency.
That way, they don't show up as "?: something else" and their proper
names are shown.
I didn't update the song numbers to include the newly-allowed songs
because otherwise it'd no longer correlate with what song numbers you
use for the music() simplified command.
This is basically just bolting on the "frames" part of a time trial
score. There's not enough space to properly show it on the time trial
select screen, maybe we can figure something out later. But I at least
want to implement the functionality now.
This doesn't make the editor completely accessible on controller, but
it's a good start at least. VCE already let you move between rooms with
the D-Pad, though.
These functions will only complain once if they receive an out-of-bounds
tile. And it's only once because these functions are called frequently
in rendering code.
A macro WHINE_ONCE() has been added in order to not duplicate code.
Disabling the one-way recolor if assets are mounted is needed to make
existing levels not look bad, but what about levels that want to use the
recolor anyway?
The best solution here is to just introduce another bool into the XML,
and make the re-color opt-in and only present if assets are mounted if
that tag is present.
Some levels (like Unshackled) have decided to manually re-color the
one-way tiles on their own, and us overriding their re-color is not
something they would want. This does mean custom levels with custom
assets don't get to take advantage of the re-color, but it's the exact
same behavior as before, so it shouldn't really matter that much.
I would've liked to specifically detect if a custom tiles.png or
tiles2.png was in play, rather than simply disabling it if any asset was
mounted, but it seems that detecting if a specific file was mounted from
a specific zip isn't really PHYSFS's strong suit.
One-ways have always had this problem where they're always yellow. That
means unless you specifically use yellow, it'll never match the tileset.
The best way to fix this without requiring new graphics or changing
existing ones is to simply re-tint the one-way with the given color of
the room. That way, the black part of the tile is still black, but the
yellow is now some other color.
Ved has this useful feature where you can "lock" a gravity line or warp
line in place, meaning it'll no longer extend its length until it
touches a tile. A line is locked if the p4 of the edentity is 1.
VVVVVV doesn't support this, but now it does. The horrifying thing is
that it stretches the lines out *while rendering the line*, so it looks
like logic and rendering aren't that separate after all (although, I
already learned that when I did my over-30-FPS patch).
This change was half-backported from the localization branch, except I
just came up with "scaling mode" as a better term than the more generic
"graphics mode". It doesn't make sense to still have the option be
called "toggle letterbox" because a third option (integer mode) was
added at some point.
The options for fullscreen and scaling mode were at the top, then there
were various other graphical options, and then the option to resize to
the nearest window size that is of an integer multiple was all the way
below that. Now that last option is moved to be right below the other
options related to window sizing.
VVVVVV's menus are kind of packed to the brim, so I thought it was time
to recategorize the menus a little bit. There's now a new "advanced
options" menu which holds the following options which were moved out of
graphic options, game options and especially accessibility options:
- toggle mouse
- unfocus pause
- fake load screen
- room name background
- glitchrunner mode
I also made the positioning of the titles and descriptions more
consistent, and made some options which were moved to the new menu not
so abbreviated ("load screen" and "room name bg")
For whatever reason, not all arguments of createentity() are exposed in
the command.
We have to keep in mind that (1) unspecified arguments default to 0
(instead of the 320 and 240 for argument 8 and 9 that createentity()
usually defaults to), and that (2) arguments persist across commands.
(Why not get rid of argument persistence, you say? Unfortunately, some
levels rely on argument persistence to call gotoposition() without
specifying the third argument, even though you're supposed to specify
all three arguments.)
To add these arguments without breaking levels, I re-added the
createentity() defaults of 320 and 240 for args 8 and 9, and then I
reset the new arguments afterwards when I'm done. Technically this could
be bad if other commands used those higher arguments, but none of them
really do. (Except createcrewman(), but it only sets argument 6 to 0
sometimes anyway, but argument 6 is already supposed to default to 0.)
