Previously, turning glitchrunner mode on essentially locked you to
emulating 2.0, and turning it off just meant normal 2.3 behavior. But
what if you wanted 2.2 behavior instead? Well, that's what I had to ask
when a TAS of mine would desync in 2.3 because of the two-frame delay
fix (glitchrunner off), but would also desync because of 2.0 warp lines
(glitchrunner on).
What I've done is made it so there are three states to glitchrunner mode
now: 2.0 (previously just the "on" state), 2.2 (previously a state you
couldn't use), and "off". Furthermore, I made it an enum, so in case
future versions of the game patch out more glitches, we can add them to
the enum (and the only other thing we have to update is a lookup table
in GlitchrunnerMode.c). Also, 2.2 glitches exist in 2.0, so you'll want
to use GlitchrunnerMode_less_than_or_equal() to check glitchrunner
version.
This fixes a regression where you're unable to activate activity zones
in in-editor playtesting if your interact button is not separate from
the map button.
When I originally did #743, I didn't have an option to set the bind to
be non-separate, so I removed this logic without adding a
game.separate_interact check. But when I added the option, I overlooked
this code, and so this regression happened. Whoops.
This fixes a regression where you're able to start flipped by restarting
and then holding ACTION.
This happens because when the game resets all variables, it turns
hascontrol back on (because of hardreset()). However, this is handled in
the input function, and it's handled before player input is handled, so
the player is able to get 1 frame of being able to flip after a time
trial resets.
Why didn't this happen in 2.2? Because resetplayer() in 2.2 would set
lifeseq to 10, as if the player had died. However, this is inconsistent,
because loading in to the game for the first time would not result in a
lifeseq of 10. So, in 2.2, restarting the time trial would remove that 1
frame of being able to flip because of lifeseq, while 2.3 doesn't set
lifeseq because the player hasn't died.
I could have fixed this by setting lifeseq in the time trial restart
code, but I decided to just set hascontrol to false instead.
Fixes#770.
The game automatically writes settings to disk after any other setting
is changed, so it should do the same whenever the user changes
controller keybinds.
This is a lot of copy-pasted code, but a little bit of copy-pasting
never hurt anyone...
The keybind to interact with activity zones and teleporters is now
separate from the keybind to open the map, or return to the editor from
in-editor playtesting, or restart a time trial. The keybind is now E,
and the default controller bind is X. No controller button prompts, but
the game didn't have controller button prompts anyways, so whatever.
Doing this now because if people's muscle memory are going to be broken
by not being able to spam the map keybind anymore, at least we can help
a bit by changing the keybind so they can keep spamming it - their
muscle memory is going to be broken anyways.
This option has to be enabled by going to the speedrunner menu options
and selecting "interact button". It is disabled by default.
All prompt text needs to be string-interpolated every time they are
drawn, because it is possible for people to change which interact button
they use in the middle of gameplay, via the in-game options.
Closes#736.
This is a small quality-of-life fix in the same vein as allowing the
player to press Esc in the teleporter menu (which they weren't able to
do in 2.2, either).
When you enter the Super Gravitron, you have to wait until the Super
Gravitron actually starts before being able to press Enter to return to
the Secret Lab. This is annoying if you just want to get back to the
Secret Lab. So, I've made it so the press-Enter-to-return functionality
is enabled from the moment that the Super Gravitron starts.
It turns out, despite the game attempting to prevent you from using
invincibility or slowdown in the Super Gravitron by simply preventing
you from entering the Secret Lab from the menu, it's still possible to
enter the Super Gravitron with it anyways. Just have invincibility or
slowdown (or both!) enabled, enter the game normally, and talk to
Victoria when you have 20 trinkets, to start the epilogue cutscene.
Yeah, that's a pretty big gaping hole right there...
It's also possible to do a trick that speedrunners use called
telejumping to the Secret Lab to bypass the invincibility/slowdown
check, too.
So rather than single-case patch both of these, I'm going to fix it as
generally as possible, by moving the invincibility/slowdown check to the
gamestate that starts the Super Gravitron, gamestate 9. If you have
invincibility/slowdown enabled, you immediately get sent back to the
Secret Lab. However, this check is ignored in custom levels, because
custom levels may want to use the Super Gravitron and let players have
invincibility/slowdown while doing so (and there are in fact custom
levels out in the wild that use the Super Gravitron; it was like one of
the first things done when people discovered internal scripting).
No message pops up when the game sends you back to the Secret Lab, but
no message popped up when the Secret Lab menu option was disabled
previously in the first place, so I haven't made anything WORSE, per se.
A nice effect of this is that you can have invincibility/slowdown
enabled and still be able to go to the Secret Lab from the menu. This is
useful if you just want to check your trophies and leave, without having
to go out of your way to disable invincibility/slowdown just to go
inside.
This factors out the slowdown and invincibility conditionals to a
function. This means less copy-pasted code, and it also conveys intent
(that we don't want to allow competitive options if we have either of
these cheats enabled).
This function isn't implemented in the header because then we would have
to include Map.h for map.invincibility, and transitive includes are
evil. Although, map.invincibility ought to be on Game instead (it was
only mapclass due to 2.2-and-previous argument passing), but that's a
bunch of variable reshuffling that can be done later.
They are now factored out to an inline function named incompetitive().
This is so their usage can be changed without having to change each
individual one in every place. This also clarifies the intent of using
these conditionals (they are for when we're in a "competitive" mode).
This fixes a bug where using the fullscreen toggle keybind (Alt+Enter,
Alt+F, or F11) wouldn't update the color of the "resize to nearest" menu
option. The color doesn't functionally change anything - the option
still won't work, and will still have the message telling you that you
need to be in windowed mode when you move your menu selection to it -
but it's an easy inconsistency to fix; just move the menu recreation in
to Screen::toggleFullScreen() itself.
The game dereferences graphics.screenbuffer without checking it first...
it's unlikely to happen, but the least we can to do be safe is to add a
check and assert here.
Pressing Esc to cancel the confirm quit menu didn't play the squeak, in
contrast to pressing ACTION to cancel it, so now it does; pressing Esc
to close the pause menu or pressing ACTION will also now play the
Viridian squeak too.
The config option has been removed. I'm going to implement something
that automatically shows and hides the mouse cursor whenever
appropriate, which is better than a config option.
This reverts only a part of f196fcd896 -
as the original commit author did not do their changes atomically, they
also squashed in a de-duplication within the same commit. So I'm only
reverting the part of the commit that wasn't the de-duplication, which
is simply the changes to the music.fadeout() calls.
This is being (partially) reverted for several reasons:
1. It's not the correct behavior. What this does instead is persist the
track through after you restart the time trial, instead of fading it
out, then restarting it again. This is in contrast to behavior in
2.2, and I see no reason to not keep the same behavior.
2. It's a single-case patch. The time trials are not the only time in
the game a music track could fade out and then be restarted with the
same track - custom levels could do the same thing too. Instead of
fixing only one case, we should strive to fix EVERY case.
The original commit author (trelbutate) also didn't write anything in
the commit description of f196fcd896. What
you should write in the commit description is things like rationale,
analysis, and other good information that would be useful to anyone
looking at your commit to understand why you did what you did. Having no
commit description leaves readers in the dark as to why you did what you
did.
Thus, I don't know why trelbutate went with this solution, or if they
knew that it was only a single-case patching, or if they knew that it
wasn't 2.2 behavior.
By not writing the commit description, they miss a chance for
reflection; speaking from personal experience, I myself have gone back
and improved my commits countless times because I wrote commit
descriptions for every single one of them, and sometimes whenever I
write them, I think to myself "hang on a minute, that doesn't sound
quite right" and end up finding improvements.
If trelbutate wrote a commit description, they might have realized that
it wasn't 2.2 behavior, and gone back and fixed up their commit to be
correct. As it stands, though, they didn't have to think about it in the
first place because they never bothered to write a commit description.
It turns out this entire chunk of code is simply unneeded (and is
actively harmful) since when we're done with the time trial,
quittomenu() gets called, and that removes the previous stack frame
anyway.
I'm guessing that I added this code, then added quittomenu(), then
didn't consider how this code and quittomenu() would mix. But anyways,
this bug is fixed.
Fixes#714.
This adds music and volume sliders to the audio options. To use the
sliders, you navigate to the given option, then press ACTION, and your
selection will be transferred to the slider. Pressing left or right will
move the slider accordingly. Then you can press ACTION to confirm the
volume is what you want and deselect it, or you can press Esc to cancel
the volume change, and it will revert to the previous volume; both
actions will write your settings to disk.
Most of this commit is just adding infrastructure to support having
sliders in menus (without copy-pasting code), which is a totally
completely new user interface that has never been used before in this
game. If we're going to be adding something new, I want to make sure
that it at least is done the RIGHT way.
Closes#706.
Pressing return in gameplay options would send you back to the pause
menu instead of the general options menu, and pressing return in graphic
options would send you back to the pause menu instead of the general
options menu, too. Additionally, pressing Esc in graphic options would
also send you back to the pause menu instead of the general options
menu.
Like I said before, the menu system is still a bit hardcoded in some
places, and these happened because Terry forgot to update them when he
changed the menus around.
Fixes#711.
The in-game menu code is better than it was in 2.2 but still pretty
hardcoded, so to fix this just change each individual case around. This
bug happened because the "options" button was in the place where "quit
to menu" was previously, but Terry forgot to update it when changing all
the options around.
This is an option for speedrunners whose muscle memory is precisely
trained and used to the 1-frame input delay that existed in 2.2 and
below. It is located in Game Options -> Advanced Options, and is off by
default.
To re-add the 1-frame input delay, we simply move the key.Poll() to the
start of the frame, instead of before an input function gets ran -
undoing what #535 did.
There is a frame ordering-sensitive issue here, where toggling
game.inputdelay at the wrong time could cause double-polling. However,
we only toggle it in an input function, which regardless is always
guaranteed to be ran after key.Poll() (it either happened at the start
of the frame or just before the input function got ran), so this is not
an issue. But, in case we ever need to toggle this variable in the
future, we can just use the defer callbacks system to defer the toggle
to the end of the frame - also added by #535.
Added at the request of Habeechee on the VVVVVV speedrunning Discord
server.
Since mainmenu is only ever used in Input.cpp, I might as well make it
clearer by moving it into a static global variable in Input.cpp. (The
same applies to fadetolab/fadetomenu, but I didn't think much about
those at the time... that'll be a refactor for later.)
While I've decoupled fademode from gamemode starting, being faded out on
the title screen results in a black screen and you being unable to make
any input. So we'll need to store the current fademode in a temporary
variable when going to in-game options, then put it back when we return
to the pause menu. Yes, you can turn on glitchrunner mode during the
in-game options, and then immediately return to the pause menu to
instantly go back to the title screen; this is intended.
Due to frame ordering, putting the fademode back needs to be deferred to
the end of the frame to prevent a 1-frame flicker.
It's actually sufficient enough to do this temporary fademode storage to
fix the whole thing, but I also decided to decouple fademode and
gamemode starting just to be sure.
Assuming glitchrunner mode is off, if you open the pause menu while
fully faded-out and then go to Graphic Options or Game Options, then the
'mode' that you selected previously will kick in again and you'll be
suddenly warped back.
So if you previously started a new game in the main game (mode 0, also
the selected mode if you do this from command-line playtesting), and
then open the pause menu and go to in-game options, then you'll suddenly
go back to starting a new game again. If you had started a custom level,
doing this will warp you back to the start of the level again.
The problem is simple - when the title screen is fully faded out, it
calls startgamemode(). So the solution is simple as well - just decouple
the fademode from calling startgamemode(), and use a different variable
to know when to actually call startgamemode().
This makes it easier to add bounds checks to all accesses of
map.explored. Also, all manually-written existing bounds checks have
been removed, because they're going to go into the new getters and
setters.
The getter is mapclass::isexplored() and the setter is
mapclass::setexplored().
The background would change for 1 frame before sending you back to the
pause menu or editor settings. The map.nexttowercolour() call needs to
be deferred until the end of the frame.
game.shouldreturntoeditor was added to fix a frame ordering issue that
was causing a bug where if you started playtesting in a room with a
horizontal/vertical warp background, and exited playtesting in a
different room that also had a horizontal/vertical warp background and
which was different, then the background of the room you exited in would
slowly scroll offscreen, when you re-entered the editor, instead of the
background consisting entirely of the actual background of the room.
Namely, the issue was that the game would render one more frame of
GAMEMODE after graphics.backgrounddrawn got set to false, and re-set it
to true, thus negating the background redraw, so the editor background
would be incorrect.
With defer callbacks, we can now just use a couple lines of code,
instead of having to add an extra kludge variable and putting handling
for it all over the code.
Previously, before the game loop order got fixed, going to the in-game
settings would switch over to the new render function too early, causing
a deltaframe glitch that had to be fixed. But now, the render function
only gets switched when the current gamestate's function list gets
finished executing, so the game won't suddenly switch to titlerender()
in the middle of the ACTION press to the in-game settings screen.
As a consequence, titleupdatetextcol() no longer needs to be exported to
Input.cpp.
This is a small quality-of-life tweak that makes it so if you're in the
middle of editing a level, you don't have to save the level, exit to the
menu, change whatever setting you wanted, re-enter the editor, and type
in the level name, just to change one setting. This is the same as
adding Graphic Options and Game Options to the in-game pause menu,
except for the editor, too.
To do this, I'm reusing Game::returntopausemenu() (because all of its
callers are the same callers for returning to editor settings) and
renamed it to returntoingame(), then added a variable named
ingame_editormode to Game. When we're in the options menus but still in
the editor, BOTH ingame_titlemode and ingame_editormode will be true.
This is a small quality-of-life thing that makes it so you don't have to
move your menu selection all the way over to the "return" button in
order to return to the previous menu. You can just press Escape instead
to return to the previous menu. The previous behavior of pressing Escape
was to bring up the 'confirm quit' menu, or if you were in an options
menu in-game, return to the pause menu.
If you're on the main menu (and thus don't have any previous menu) and
press Escape, the game will instead bring up the 'confirm quit' menu.
For consistency, the "quit game" option on the main menu will also bring
up the 'confirm quit' menu as well, instead of immediately closing the
game.
Pressing the controller button mapped to Escape will also work as well.
The only menus that don't have return buttons are the 'countdown' menus
- so the game will not let you press Escape if there's a menu countdown
happening.
Now that pressing Escape in the 'continue' menu will just bring you back
to the 'play' menu, there's no need to specifically put
map.nexttowercolour() first when canceling the 'confirm quit' menu.
In #553, when Dav999 added error messages to settings menus if the game
was unable to successfully save the changed settings, he seemed to have
forgotten the PPPPPP/MMMMMM toggle option.
However, I can fully blame him for only that miss. The Flip Mode options
were using game.savemystats (which was removed in #591), so if he
searched for all instances of game.savestats()
(game.savestatsandsettings() was only added in #557), he would've missed
the game.savemystats.
Later, when I did #591, I didn't realize that I should've replaced the
ones in the Flip Mode options with game.savestatsandsettings_menu(), so
part of the blame does fall on me.
Anyways, this is fixed now.
If there was absolutely no music playing, and you went to the in-game
options to switch between MMMMMM and PPPPPP, the behavior would be a bit
glitchy.
If you started with PPPPPP, switching once to MMMMMM wouldn't play
anything, but then switching back to PPPPPP would play MMMMMM track 15.
Then switching back to MMMMMM wouldn't do anything, but then switching
back to PPPPPP again would play PPPPPP track 15 - and from there, the
behavior is stable.
If you started with MMMMMM, switching once to PPPPPP would play MMMMMM
track 15. Then switching back to MMMMMM wouldn't do anything, but then
switching back to PPPPPP would play PPPPPP track 15 - and as above, the
behavior is stable after that.
Anyways, the point is, -1 shouldn't be passed to musicclass::play()
unless you want glitchy things. And I'm not patching -1 out of
musicclass::play() itself, because passing negative numbers results in a
useful glitch (that's existed since 2.2) where you can play MMMMMM
tracks while having PPPPPP selected, effectively doubling the amount of
usable music tracks within a custom level; it also seems like the game
does -1 checks elsewhere, so I'm just being consistent with the rest of
the game (although, yes, I am technically single-case patching this).
This bug is technically NOT a regression - the code responsible for it
has been around since the source release.
However, it hasn't been a problem until Graphic Options and Game Options
were added to the pause screen. Since then, if you opened the pause menu
in Flip Mode, pressing up would move to the menu option below, and
pressing down would move to the menu option above. Notably, left and
right still remain the same.
This is because the map screen input code assumes that the menu options
will be flipped around - however, this has never been the case. What
happens instead is that the menu options get flipped around time when in
Flip Mode - flipping what's already flipped - so it ends up the same
again.
(Incidentally enough, the up/down reversing code is present on the title
screen, and is correct - if you happen to set graphics.flipmode to true
on the title screen, the title screen doesn't negate the flipped menu
options, so pressing up SHOULD be treated like pressing down, and vice
versa. However, in 2.3, it's not really possible to set
graphics.flipmode to true on the title screen without using GDB or
modifying the game. In 2.2 and previous, you can just complete the game
in Flip Mode, and the variable won't be reset; 2.3 cleaned up all exit
paths to the menu to make sure everything got reset.)
This isn't a problem when there's only two options, but since 2.3 adds
two more options to the pause screen, it's pretty noticeable.
Anyway, this is fixed by simply removing the branch of the
graphics.flipmode if-else in mapinput(). The 'else' branch is now the
code that gets executed unconditionally. Don't get confused by the diff;
I decided to unindent in the same commit because it's not that many
lines of code.
Since you're now allowed to bring up the map screen during cutscenes,
you've also been able to activate activity zones and teleporter prompts
during cutscenes. This only really affects custom levels; nowhere in the
main game can you overlap with an activity zone while in a cutscene.
To fix this, I've just added a script.running check to Enter keybind
processing.
I was looking through all calls to game.returnmenu(), and I noticed that
the return option in the game pad screen didn't have a
map.nexttowercolour(). I tested it and, yep, returning from there
doesn't update the background color.
So that should be fixed now.
I'm... not sure why this was here? It's absolutely not needed.
I'm guessing maybe at one point during development, there might have
been wanted a special song to be played during the credits, or no song
at all (although the function being niceplay() instead of play() seems
to support the first possibility) - but there's no need for this to be
here.
Now that recreating the same menu keeps currentmenuoption, we can remove
all these superfluous assignments. This means repeating ourselves less;
in case the option numbers change in the future, we won't have to
remember to update these reassignments, too.
