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.
This is just in case these values happen to be used without being
initialized or anything. I vaguely recall someone reporting an issue
where they didn't have a "Documents" folder on Windows and their level
folder ended up being a garbage path, so it's good to do this.
There's a bug in the cutscene that plays if your companion is Vitellary
in the room "Now Stay Close To Me...". The relevant gamestate is
gamestate 43, which for Vitellary calls the script `int1yellow_4`.
When Vitellary says the text box "That big... C thing! I wonder what it
does?", Terry intended for Vitellary to change his facing direction to
the left, as you can see with the command `changedir(yellow,0)` in the
original scripting. `changedir()` just changes the `dir` attribute of an
entity, and a `dir` of 0 means face left and a `dir` of 1 means face
right.
Then when Vitellary says "Maybe we should take it back to the ship to
study it?", Terry intended for him to face rightwards once again, as
indicated by the `changedir(yellow,1)` command.
Unfortunately, what happens instead is that when Vitellary says the
first text box ("That big... C thing! I wonder what it does?"), he turns
left for precisely one frame, and then afterwards goes back to facing
right. Then the second text box comes around, but he's already facing
right. How come?
Well, the problem here is that Vitellary's AI for "follow Viridian" is
overriding his `dir` attribute. Vitellary's AI says "get close to
Viridian", but Vitellary is already close enough to them that he stays
put. However, he still turns to face them as part of that AI.
To fix that, we need to put him in the AI mode that specifically says to
face left, with the command `changeai(yellow,faceleft)`. That way, he no
longer has the AI mode of following Viridian, and he will actually look
left for the intended duration instead of only looking left for one
frame.
But then we have another problem. When the cutscene ends, Vitellary no
longer follows Viridian. I mean it makes sense - we just placed him in
"only face left" mode, not "follow Viridian" mode! And this is not
merely a visual problem, because Vitellary is a supercrewmate and the
game won't let the player walk off the screen if Vitellary isn't
offscreen yet.
To fix THAT issue, we'll need to put Vitellary back in "follow Viridian"
mode. It turns out that the `changeai()` command was more intended for
scripting crewmates (entity type 12), NOT supercrewmates (entity type
14). As such, the command assumes that you'll want state numbers that
apply to entity type 12, such as 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, even though the
only one that applies to entity type 14 is state 0, and every other
state number just makes it so that the entity doesn't move an inch. And
specifying faceleft/faceright is just state number 17.
Luckily, we can still pass the raw state number to `changeai()`, we
don't have to use its intended names. So I do a `changeai(yellow,0)` to
set Vitellary's state number back to 0 when it comes time to make him
face right again.
As a bonus, I added comments to the changed lines. This is a semi-obtuse
method of scripting, so it's always good to clarify.
The spikes are removed if the game is in no death or time trial mode,
however the removal is accomplished by modifying a static array. So if
the player switches to no death or time trial mode and switches back to
regular play, the spikes will no longer be present until the game is
restarted.
This simple fix writes the spikes back to the static array if the game
is not in no death or time trial mode. Another option is to maintain 2
static arrays - one with the spikes and one without - but that is
needlessly wasteful and prone to mistakes (one array updated but not the
other).
For some reason, there were just exact duplicates of the talkgreen_2
script and alarmon/alarmoff commands. I have no idea why, but cppcheck
identified them.
Graphics::drawmenu() no longer has copy-pasted code for each individual
case. Instead, the individual cases have their own adding on to common
code, which is far easier to maintain.
Also, the only difference Graphics::drawlevelmenu() does is in some
y-positioning stuff. There's no reason to make it a whole separate
function and duplicate everything AGAIN. So it's been consolidated into
Graphics::drawmenu() as well, and I've added a boolean to draw a menu
this way if it's the level menu.
Instead, the string in MenuOption is just a buffer of 161 chars, which
is 40 chars (160 bytes if each were the largest possible UTF-8 character
size) plus a null terminator. This is because the maximum length of a
menu option that can be fit on the screen without going past is 40
chars.
There's no need to use a template here. Just manually call SDL_tolower()
or SDL_toupper() as needed.
Oh yeah, and use SDL_tolower() and SDL_toupper() instead of libc
tolower() and toupper().
I don't know how no one realized that the for-loop to (poorly)
initialize m_headers was basically unnecessary, and that the memset()
should've just been used instead. Well, except it should also be
replaced with SDL_memset(), but that's besides the point.
Also, I decided to hardcode the 128 thing less, in case people want to
fork the source code and make a build where it's changed.
So, originally, I wanted to keep them on Game, but it turns out that if
I initialize it in Game.cpp, the compiler will complain that other files
won't know what's actually inside the array. To do that, I'd have to
initialize it in Game.h. But I don't want to initialize it in Game.h
because that'd mean recompiling a lot of unnecessary files whenever
someone gets added to the credits.
So, I moved all the patrons, superpatrons, and GitHub contributors to a
new file, Credits.h, which only contains the list (and the credits max
position calculation). That way, whenever someone gets added, only the
minimal amount of files need to be recompiled.
They're always the same size, so there's no need for them to be vectors.
Also made the number of elements in ed.level/kludgewarpdir controllable
by maxwidth/maxheight.
I removed editorclass::saveconvertor() because I didn't want to convert
it to treat ed.contents like an array, because it's unused so I'd have
no way of testing it, plus it's also unused so it doesn't matter. Might
as well get rid of it.
These unused vars are:
- Graphics::bfontmask_rect
- Graphics::backgrounds
- Graphics::bfontmask
- GraphicsResources::im_bfontmask
While it seems that Graphics::backgrounds was indexed in
Graphics::drawbackground(), in reality there was never anything in that
vector and thus actually using it would cause a segfault.
map.contents always has 1200 tiles in it, there's no reason it should be
a vector.
This is a big commit because it requires changing all the level classes
to return a pointer to an array instead of returning a vector. Which
took a while for me to figure out, but eventually I did it. I tested to
make sure and there's no problems.
They're always fixed-size anyways, there's no need for them to be
vectors.
Also used the new INBOUNDS_ARR() macro for the map.explored bounds
checks in Script.cpp, and made map.explored a proper bool array instead
of an int array.
Again, basically no reason for it to exist on the class itself.
The usage of the variable was replaced with temp2 instead of temp
because there was already a temp variable in the function it was used
in.
Since they're always fixed-size, they don't need to be dynamically-sized
vectors.
entityclass::customcrewmoods is now a proper bool instead of an int now,
and I replaced the hardcoded constant 6 with a static const int Game
attribute to make it easier to change.
These are the besttimes, besttrinkets, bestlives, and bestrank
attributes of Game. bestframes was already a plain array.
As these are always fixed-sized, there's no reason for them to be
vectors. Also, I put their size in a static const int so it's easy to
change how many of them there are.
They're always fixed-size, so there's no need to them to be a dynamic
vector.
I changed their type to `bool` too because they don't need to be `int`s.
Also, I replaced the hardcoded 25 constant with at least a name, in case
people want to change it in the future.
It could index the `words` array out-of-bounds if there were more than
40 arguments in a command. Not like that would ever happen, but it's
still good to be sure.
