I just spotted this one - if vy isn't bounds-checked, this causes bogus
input from the createentity() script command to commit Undefined
Behavior. Should've spotted this one when I was adding bounds checks to
the rest of createentity() earlier, but at least it's fixed now.
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().
It is no longer possible to cause Undefined Behavior via accessing
out-of-bounds room properties.
What happens instead is - if you attempt to fetch an out-of-bounds room
property, you get a "blank" room property that just has all of the
defaults, plus its tileset is 1 because all tilesets that are nonzero
use tiles2.png, and it closely emulates the previous behavior where it
was some bogus value but definitely not zero. Its Direct Mode is also 1,
because the tiles contained within it are just mishmashed repeats of
existing tiles on the map, and we shouldn't autotile that.
The roomname also gets cleared in case the user attempts to set the room
name of an out-of-bounds room property.
If you attempt to set the property of an out-of-bounds room property,
then nothing happens.
This replaces all raw ed.level accesses with new setter and getter
funcs, which makes it easier to add bounds checks later. And I've also
removed all the manually-written bounds checks, since they will go into
the new getter and setter.
To get the room properties of a specific room, you use
editorclass::getroomprop(), which returns a pointer to the room
properties - then you just read off of that pointer. To set a room
property, you use editorclass::setroom<PROP>(), where <PROP> is the name
of the property. These are maintained using X macros to avoid
copy-pasting. editorclass::getroompropidx() is a helper function and
shouldn't be used directly.
This removes all traces of Undefined Behavior from getting and placing
tiles.
This mimics the previous behavior (2.2 and below) as reasonably as
possible. `vmult` was previously a vector, there was a bunch of unused
space directly after the end of the usable space of the vector, which
was all filled with zeroes. The same goes for `contents`, having
previously been a vector, and so having a bunch of zeroes immediately
following the end of the in-bounds space. That's why both are 0 if you
index them out of bounds.
This makes it easier to add bounds checks to all accesses of
ed.contents.
To do this, I've added editorclass::gettile(), editorclass::settile(),
and editorclass::getabstile() (with a helper function of
editorclass::gettileidx() that really shouldn't be used directly), and
replaced all raw accesses of ed.contents with those functions
appropriately.
This also makes the code more readable, as a side effect.
The existing bounds checks were correct sometimes but other times were
not.
The bounds check for 2x2 and 2x1 sprites only covered the top-left
sprite drawn; the other sprites could still be out of bounds. But if the
top-left sprite was out of bounds, then none of the other sprites
wouldn't be drawn - although it ought to be that the other sprites still
get attempted to be drawn. So I've updated the bounds checks
accordingly, and now an out of bounds top-left sprite won't prevent the
drawing of the rest of the sprites.
Similarly, if the sprite of a Gravitron square was out of bounds, that
would prevent its indicators from being drawn. But the indicators
weren't being bounds-checked either (2.3 lets you have less than 1200
tiles in a given tilesheet). So the bounds check has been moved to only
cover the drawframe and the indicator indexes accordingly, and an out of
bounds sprite won't prevent attempting to draw the indicators.
It is possible for any of the QueryIntAttribute()s to fail, most
commonly if the attributes don't exist. If that happens, then that part
of the temporary edentity won't be initialized, and we'll end up having
a partially-uninitialized edentity - then doing much of anything with it
will result in undefined behavior.
To fix this, just initialize the temporary edentity.
If an XML tag doesn't contain anything inside, pText will be NULL. If
that happens without being checked, then NULL will be passed to
SDL_strcmp(). SDL_strcmp() will either call libc strcmp() or use its own
implementation; both implementations will still dereference the NULL
without checking it.
This is undefined behavior, so I'm fixing it. The solution is to do what
is done with all other XML parsing functions, and to make sure pText
gets set to a safe empty string (which is just a pointer to a null
terminator) if it happens to be NULL.
PR #279 added game.gametimer solely for the editor ghosts feature. It
seems that whoever originally wrote it (Leo for the now-dead VVVVVV:
Community Edition, I believe) forgot that the game already had its own
timer, that they could use.
The game timer does increment on unfocus pause (whereas this doesn't),
but that's a separate issue, and it ought to not do that.
So #434 didn't end up solving the deltaframe flashing fully, only
reduced the chances that it could happen.
I've had the Level Complete image flash a few times when the Game Saved
text box pops up. This seems to be because the Level Complete image is
based off of the text box being at y-position 12, and the Game Saved
text box is also at y-position 12. Level Complete only gets drawn if the
text box additionally has a red channel value of 165, and the Game Saved
text box has a red channel value of 174. However, there is a check that
the text box be fully opaque first before drawing special images. So
what went wrong?
Well, after thinking about it for a while, I realized that even though
there is indeed an opaqueness check, the alpha of the text box updates
BEFORE it gets drawn. And during the deltaframes immediately after it
gets updated, the text box is considered fully opaque. It's completely
possible for the linear interpolation to end up with a red channel value
of 165 during these deltaframes, while the text box is opaque as well.
As always, it helps if you have a high refresh rate, and run the game
under 40% slowdown.
Anyways, so what's the final fix for this issue? Well, use the text box
'target' RGB values instead - its tr/tg/tb attributes instead of its
r/g/b attributes. They are not subject to interpolation and so are
completely reliable. The opaqueness check should still be kept, though,
because the target values don't account for opaqueness. And this way, we
get no more deltaframe flashes during text box fades.
An even better fix would be to not use magic RGB values to draw special
images... but that'd be something to do later.
Clang warns on this. This doesn't fix anything but it does ensure that
whoever's reading it won't be focused as to whether or not omitting the
second set of braces is legal or not.
Previously, with the wrong loop order, this kludge needed to exist so
entities in finalmode didn't have wrong colors for 1 frame when entering
a room. But now the loop order has been fixed, and so this kludge is no
longer needed.
In 2.2, at render time, the game rendered screenshakes and flashes if
their timers were above 0, and then decremented them afterwards. The
game would also update the analogue filter right before rendering it,
too.
In 2.3, this was changed so the flash and screenshake timers were
unified, and also done at the end of the frame - right before rendering
happened. This resulted in 1-frame flashes and screenshakes not
rendering at all. The other changes in this patchset don't fix this
either. The analogue filter was also in the wrong order, but that is
less of an issue than flashes and screenshakes.
So, what I've done is made the flash and screenshake timers update right
before the loop switches over to rendering, and only decrements them
when we switch back to fixed functions (after rendering). The analogue
filter is also updated right before rendering as well. This restores
1-frame flashes and screenshakes, as well as restores the correct order
of analogue filter updates.
This reintroduces 2-frame edge-flipping after the 1-frame input delay
got removed. This is because along with processing input and moving
Viridian, logical onground/onroof assignments need to processed in the
same between-render sequence as well - otherwise Viridian only gets 1
frame of edge-flipping due to frame ordering.
I will need to separate these into two different variables because I
will need to move logical onground/onroof assignments to the start of
gamelogic() - if I kept them together, however, that would change the
visuals of onground/onroof, which I want to keep consistent with 2.2.
To do this, GAMEMODE input needs to be processed, and Viridian needs to
be moved, in the same sequence between render frames. So just move
gameinput to after gamerender. Yes, this is not 2.2 order, but gameinput
only handles player input and nothing else - plus a 1-frame input delay
feels really awful to play with in over-30-mode.
In order to re-remove the 1-frame input delay, we will have to poll
input right after rendering a frame - in other words, just before an
input function gets called.
To do this, I've added a new function enum type - Func_input - that is
the same as a fixed function, but before its function gets called,
key.Poll() gets called. And all input functions have been updated to use
this enum accordingly.
This once again fixes the facing directions of crewmates upon room load,
except now it covers more cases.
So, here is the saga so far:
- 2.0 (presumably) to 2.2: crewmate direction fix is special-cased at
the end of mapclass::loadlevel(). Only covers crewmates created during
the room load, does not cover crewmates created from scripts, only
covers state 18 of crewmates.
- 2.3 currently (after #220): crewmate direction fix is moved to
entityclass::createentity(), which covers every avenue of crewmate
creation (including from scripts), but still only covers state 18.
- This commit: crewmate direction fix now covers every possible state of
the crewmate, also does not copy-paste any code.
What I've done instead is to make it so createentity() will immediately
call updateentities() on the pushed-back entity. This is kludge-y, but
is completely okay to do, because unlike other entities, crewmate
entities never change their state or have any side-effects from
double-evaluation, meaning calling updateentities() on them is
idempotent and it's okay to call their updateentities() more than once.
This does have the slight danger that if the states of crewmates were to
change in the future to no longer be idempotent, this would end up
resulting in a somewhat hard-to-track-down double-evaluation bug, but
it's worth taking that risk.
This fix is not applied to entity 14 (the supercrewmate) because it is
possible that calling updateentities() on it will immediately remove the
entity, which is not idempotent (it's changing the state of something
outside the object). Supercrewmates are a bit difficult to work with
outside of the main game anyways, and if you spawn them you could
probably just use the changedir() script command to fix their direction,
so I'm not inclined to fix this for them anyway.
This copy-pasted code only existed because the previous loop order was
incorrect and rendered entities before they would get properly updated
by the fixed render function. Now, the fixed render function is
guaranteed to be called before the render function, so we can rely on
that to update the drawframe and realcol of entities instead of
duplicating the code ourselves in createentity().
The drawframe assignment is still kept to fix the case where dying while
completestop is active (i.e. during a trinket or crewmate rescue
cutscene) and respawning in a different room won't turn everything into
Viridian sprites.
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.
The new loop order introduces a glitch where the menu would display
whichever menu was saved to kludge_ingametemp for 1 frame right as the
user returned to the pause menu. This happened because the
game.returntomenu() happens in titleinput(), which comes before
titlerender(). To fix this, we just need to defer it to 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.
Sometimes, there needs to be code that gets ran at the end of the game
loop, otherwise rendering issues might occur. Currently, we do this by
special-casing each deferred routine (e.g. shouldreturntoeditor), but it
would be better if we could generalize this deference instead.
Deferred callbacks can be added using the DEFER_CALLBACK macro. It takes
in one argument, which is the name of a function, and that function must
be a void function that takes in no arguments. Also, due to annoying C++
quirks, void functions taking no arguments cannot be attributes of
objects (because they have an implicit `this` parameter), so it's
recommended to create each callback separately before using the
DEFER_CALLBACK macro.
Otherwise, the player would appear to "zip" during the deltaframes
between their previous position and their new position. This did not
happen in the previous game loop order and only happens in the new one.
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.
The previous location of this loop was placed there because it happened
just after the end of the render function. Now that the loop order is
fixed, the first thing that happens after the render function is the
start of gamelogic(), so this loop should go there now, else entity
positions won't be interpolated.
Also it now preincrements instead of postincrements because I like
preincrements.
Okay, so the reason why all render functions were moved to the end of
the frame in #220 is because it's simpler to call two fixed functions
and then a delta function instead of one fixed function, then a delta
function, and then another fixed function.
This is because fixed functions need special handling inside
deltaloop(), and you can't simply duplicate this handling after calling
a delta function. Oh, and to make matters worse, it's not always
fixed-delta-fixed, sometimes (like in MAPMODE and TELEPORTERMODE) it's
delta-fixed-fixed, so we'd need to handle that somehow too.
The solution here is to generalize the game loop and factor out each
function, instead of hardcoding it. Instead of having hardcoded
case-switches directly in the loop, I made a function that returns an
array of functions for a given gamestate, along with the number of
functions, then the game loop processes it accordingly. In fixedloop(),
it iterates over the array and executes each function until it reaches a
delta function, at which point it stops. And when it reaches the end of
the array, it goes back to the start of the array.
But anyway, if it gets to a delta function, it'll stop the loop and
finish fixedloop(). Then deltaloop() will call the delta function. And
then on the next frame, the function index will be incremented again, so
fixedloop() will call the fixed functions again.
Actually, the previous game loop was actually made up of one big loop,
with a gamestate function loop nested inside it, flanked with code that
ran at the start and end of the "big loop". This would be easy to handle
with one loop (just include the beginning and end functions with the
gamestate functions in the array), except that the gamestate functions
could suddenly be swapped out with unfocused functions (the ones that
run when you unfocus the window) at any time (well, on frame boundaries,
since key.isActive only got checked once, guarding the entire "inner
loop" - and I made sure that changing key.isActive wouldn't immediately
apply, just like the previous game loop order) - so I had to add yet
another layer of indirection, where the gamestate functions could
immediately be swapped out with the unfocused functions (while still
running the beginning and end code, because that was how the previous
loop order worked, after all).
This also fixes a regression that the game loop that #220 introduced
had, where if the fixed functions switched the gamestate, the game would
prematurely start rendering the gamestate function of the new gamestate
in the deltaframes, which was a source of some deltaframe glitches. But
fixing this is likely to just as well cause deltaframe glitches, so it'd
be better to fix this along with fixing the loop order, and only have
one round of QA to do in the end, instead of doing one round after each
change separately.
Fixes #464... but this isn't the end of the patchset. There are bugs
that need to be fixed, and kludges that need to be reverted.
Y-position 180 would be the position of the Level Complete and Game
Complete special text boxes in Flip Mode. However, since the y-position
of flipme text boxes actually no longer change (because we have to
accomodate changing Flip Mode on-the-fly), these text boxes will never
actually be y-position 180 - so we should remove these checks for
clarity.
A-ha! I've spotted an inconsistency! The normal trinket collection text
boxes (gamestate 1000-1003) is aware of Flip Mode, and will position
themselves accordingly to read the correct way in Flip Mode. However,
foundtrinket() doesn't do this.
Well, now it does.
This is why the text box attribute was named flipme, after all.
You may have noticed that the flipme command inverts textflipme instead
of simply setting it to true. Well, that's because it should be the same
as the previous behavior, which was essentially to invert it instead of
setting it to true - i.e. calling flipme twice would keep the original
text box position in Flip Mode, which means it would be upside-down
(this is a lot of flipping to keep track of...) - because flipme added
to texty in-place instead of simply assigning to it. (It did the
calculation incorrectly in 2.2 and previous, but I digress.)
Similarly, textflipme is not reset in hardreset(), because none of the
other script text box variables are reset either.
This ensures that if the player decides to toggle Flip Mode while one of
these text boxes is up, they won't be oriented improperly. Additionally,
it also de-duplicates a bunch of Flip Mode check code, which is also a
win.
createtextboxreal() is the same as createtextbox(), but with a flipme
parameter added to create text boxes that have their flipme attribute
set to true. createtextbox() just calls createtextboxreal() with flipme
set to false, and createtextboxflipme() just calls createtextboxreal()
with flipme set to true; this is because I do not want to use C++
function overloading.
Instead of calculating the y-position of the text box when it's created,
we will store a flag that says whether or not the text box should be
flipped in Flip Mode (and thus stay right-side-up), and when it comes
time to draw the text box, we will check Flip Mode and calculate the
position then.
Instead of duplicating the same variables over and over again,
Graphics::drawgui() can just make its own SDL_Rect. It's not that hard.
As far as I can tell, textrect was always being properly kept up to date
by the time Graphics::drawgui() got around to rendering
(textboxclass::resize() keeps being called a LOT), so this shouldn't be
a noticeable change from the user perspective.
The "Game Saved" text box, along with its associated telesave() call,
exists in both Game.cpp and Script.cpp, so one of them is the copy-paste
of the other. Unfortunately this copy-paste resulted in an inconsistency
where both of them don't check for the same things when deciding whether
or not the telesave should actually happen (this is why you don't
copy-paste, kids... it's scary!).
Either way, de-duplicating this now is less work for me later.
Every Level Complete sequence is the same copy-pasted thing, but with
minor changes. To make my work easier, I'm de-duplicating them so I have
less text boxes to change later, and less grind to grind.
