I don't know who wrote this code originally, but it's extremely obvious
that it was a different person than who wrote the rest of the code.
Anyway, I fixed the spacing and braces so everything is smushed together
less.
Also, there's no need to put the entire warpdir checking in an
'if(room.warpdir>0)' statement. If any of the cases is jumped to, then
you already know that's true.
"Threadmills" are now properly called "conveyors". I don't know why they
were called "threadmills" anyway, the proper spelling is "treadmills".
Also, warp line `p1`s of 0 and 3 are now properly labeled, as well as
the trinket edentity.
Just set the map roomname to the roomname of the room. It's completely
redundant to set the roomname to an empty string and check if the
roomname of the room is empty.
I do this because we declare-and-initialize some variables in the case.
This isn't strictly necessary, since there's no cross-initialization
errors since it's the last case in the switch, but I'd just like to be
future-proof.
Instead of repeating 'ed.level[curlevel]' (or even worse, you type in
that giant expression inside the brackets instead of reusing
'curlevel'), why not just type 'room'? As an added bonus, I added bounds
checks so 'room' is always guaranteed to point to an existing object.
There are some levels that index 'ed.level' out of bounds, and I'd like
to make their behavior properly defined instead of being undefined. One
of the things usually true about out-of-bounds rooms is that they're
always tiles2.png (that means an edlevelclass tileset that isn't 0),
because the chance of the memory location being exactly 0 is smaller
than it being nonzero. So the out-of-bounds room has tileset 1.
Again, it used this severely overcomplicated expression for god knows
what reason. I've replaced it with a simpler one. Also it's const just
to indicate intent.
Previously it copy-pasted this god-awful overcomplicated expression
(possibly for cursed ActionScript legacy reasons?) everywhere, instead
of putting it in a variable, or even just using a simpler one like the
one I replaced it with.
Now the obj.createentity() and obj.createblock() calls are much nicer.
Now if your cursor was at the bottom of the screen when you entered
playtesting but then was moved to the top during playtesting, when you
exit, the roomname won't instantly disappear and then sheepishly rise
back up again.
And if your cursor was at the bottom of the screen when you entered
playtesting, and exited still being that way, the roomname will rise
back down again and won't instantly disappear.
Both of these behaviors make the roomname movement much more continuous
than it was previously, and it feels smoother and less janky.
Also, use inspecial() instead of writing out each part of the
conditional separately. This just basically adds the insecretlab
conditional to the if-statement, which shouldn't be a big deal.
There's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to press Enter on teleporters
during playtesting.
Well, except that you can press Esc in the teleporter menu in order to
go to the pause menu, which isn't intended in playtesting. But I can
just add a check there so that pressing Esc closes the teleporter menu
instead, it's fine.
graphics.textbox.clear() should be used instead of
graphics.textboxremove() or graphics.textboxremovefast(), because even
with graphics.textboxremovefast(), you'll still have to process at least
one frame of GAMEMODE logic before the text boxes are actually properly
removed, and this caused a 1-frame glitch when exiting playtesting with
text boxes on-screen and then re-entering playtesting.
Technically I could've only fixed it in Game::returntoeditor(), but I
wanted to be safe, so I also fixed it in scriptclass::hardreset(), too.
This fixes a bug where the settings menu would immediately be brought up
if you used Esc to exit playtesting, unless you were an incredible ninja
and only pressed it for exactly one frame.
This fixes an annoying bug where if you use Up or Down to press ACTION
on the "All crewmates rescued!" dialogue whenever you rescue the last
crewmate during playtesting, it'll move you to the room above or below
you. This is because ed.keydelay isn't set to 6 (which is the standard
value that it gets set to whenever you press most keys in the editor),
but now it is.
The shouldreturntoeditor variable is supposed to be used because it
fixes the warp background not being reset if you exit into a
horizontally/vertically warping room with a different background. It
also properly resets other variables, which is good, too.
Instead of using gamestates, just directly use the 'script' attribute of
a script box if it is non-empty.
This is accomplished by having to return the index of the block that the
player collides with, so callers can inspect the 'script' attribute of
the block themselves, and do their logic accordingly.
game.customscript is an unnecessary middleman, but it will be kept
around for compatibility reasons. However, it's still possible to crash
the game, so I'm adding this bounds check.
To avoid going through gamestates, we'll need to carry the name of the
script on the script box itself. And to do that, we'll need to set the
'script' attribute of script boxes when translating edentities into real
entities in custom levels.
This patch optimizes the loop used to limit the framerate in 30-FPS-only
mode so that it uses SDL_Delay() instead of an accumulator. This means
that the game will take up less CPU power in 30-FPS-only mode. This also
means that the game loop code has been simplified, so there's only two
while-loops, and only two places where game.over30mode is checked, thus
leading to easier-to-understand logic.
Using an accumulator here would essentially mean busywaiting until the
34 millisecond timer was up. (The following is just what leo60228 told
me.) Busywaiting is bad because it's inefficient. The operating system
assumes that if you're busywaiting, you're performing a complex
calculation and handles your process accordingly. And this is why
sleeping was invented, so you could busywait without taking up
unnecessary CPU time.
When I moved duplicate player entity removal to
scriptclass::hardreset(), I also inadvertently made it so all non-player
entities got removed as well, even though this wasn't my intent. And
thus, pressing Enter to restart a time trial removes every entity except
the player, since it calls script.hardreset().
The time trial script.hardreset() is bad for other reasons (see #367),
however it's still a good idea to reset only what's needed in
script.hardreset().
There's a bug where playtesting from Ved doesn't properly play the music
of the level, due to no fault with Ved.
This was because the music was being faded out by
scriptclass::startgamemode() case 23 after main() called music.play().
To fix this, just call music.play() when all the other variables are
being set in Game::customloadquick().
So you get a trophy and achievement for completing the game in Flip
Mode. Which begs the question, how does the game know that you've played
through the game in Flip Mode the entire way, and haven't switched it
off at any point? It looks like if you play normally all the way up
until the checkpoint in V, and then turn on Flip Mode, the game won't
give you the trophy. What gives?
Well, actually, what happens is that every time you press Enter on a
teleporter, the game will set flag 73 to true if you're NOT in Flip
Mode. Then when Game Complete runs, the game will check if flag 73 is
off, and then give you the achievement and trophy accordingly.
However, what this means is that you could just save your game before
pressing Enter on a teleporter, then quit and go into options, turn on
Flip Mode, use the teleporter, then save your game (it's automatically
saved since you just used a teleporter), quit and go into options, and
turn it off. Then you'd get the Flip Mode trophy even though you haven't
actually played the entire game in Flip Mode.
Furthermore, in 2.3 you can bring up the pause menu to toggle Flip Mode,
so you don't even have to quit to circumvent this detection.
To fix both of these exploits, I moved the turning on of flag 73 to
starting a new game, loading a quicksave, and loading a telesave (cases
0, 1, and 2 respectively in scriptclass::startgamemode()). I also added
a Flip Mode check to the routine that runs whenever you exit an options
menu back to the pause menu, so you can't circumvent the detection that
way, either.
The music for the Tower is supposed to be ecroF evitisoP in Flip Mode,
and Positive Force when not in Flip Mode. However, if you go to the
options from the pause menu and toggle Flip Mode, the music isn't
changed.
Fixing this is pretty simple, just check the current area if not in a
custom level and play the correct track accordingly when toggling Flip
Mode from in-game.
Gamestates 300..336 are used to start scripts in custom levels. However,
it looks like instead of having the cases have common code, each
individual case was copy-pasted numerous times, which is pretty
wasteful.
std::string is one of those special types that has a constructor that
just initializes itself to a blank state automatically. This means all
`std::string`s are by default already `""`, so there's no need to set
them. And in fact, cppcheck throws out warnings about performance due to
initializing `std::string`s this way.
I ran the game through cppcheck and it spat out a bunch of member
attributes that weren't being initialized. So I initialized them.
In the previous version of this commit, I added constructors to
GraphicsResources, otherlevelclass, labclass, warpclass, and finalclass,
but flibit says this changes the code flow enough that it's risky to
merge before 2.4, so I got rid of those constructors, too.
Looks like coins were basically a scrapped mechanic, although I'm not
sure what these attributes were for. I guess counting the number of
coins in each room? But why, when you can just make a function to count
them automatically? Whatever.
