Ok, so it was a bit of a struggle at first figuring out the new API, but
honestly it wasn't so bad in the end.
I made a copy of my old unlock.vvv before testing this, and checking
with `diff` the only difference is the new `encoding="UTF-8"` in the XML
declaration, which isn't a bad thing.
Surprisingly, I only had to change some names and stuff around at the
top of the function. The rest of the function could be left untouched
and it worked fine.
Some of the file was indented with two spaces and the rest indented with
tabs. It feels like two different people worked on the file, one more
than the other. Since most of it uses two spaces, I'll just replace the
tabs with two spaces.
This is to respect the fact that the top half of the file is indented
with spaces, while the bottom half is indented with tabs.
Graphics::reloadresources() is on the bottom half.
The previous way manually concatenated the first 7 characters of the
string together (and had an std::min() calculation). The new way instead
does std::string::substr(), which is much more snappy.
The actual unindent is done in a separate commit to minimize noise,
because diffs are terrible at clearly conveying unindents (it should put
all the minus lines together and all the plus lines together, too).
The entirety of the rest of scriptclass::loadcustom() is encased in a
block that first checks if the script with the name even exists. Instead
of indenting the rest of the function, just invert the check and reduce
indentation level.
This commit refactors custom level scripts to no longer be stored in one
giant vector containing not only every single script name, but every
single script's contents as well. More specifically,
scriptclass::customscript has been converted to an std::vector<Script>
scriptclass::customscripts (note the extra S), and a Script is just a
struct with an std::string name and std::vector<std::string> contents.
This is an improvement in both performance and maintainability. The game
no longer has to look through script contents in case they're actually
script names, and then manually extract the script contents from there.
Instead, all it has to do is look for script names only. And the
contents are provided for free. This results in a performance gain.
Also, the old system resulted in lots of boilerplate everywhere anytime
scripts had to be handled or parsed. Now, the boilerplate is only done
when saving or loading a custom level. This makes code quality much,
much better.
To be sure I didn't actually change anything, I tested by first saving
Dimension Open in current 2.3 (because current 2.3 gets rid of the
awful edentity whitespace), and then resaved it on this patch. There is
absolutely no difference between the current-2.3-resave and
this-patch-resave.
This enforces the C++03 standard for people making pull requests who may
not realize their fancy features are too new and shouldn't be used
(cough, cough, @leo60228).
I did some internet searching and this is what I got from this page:
https://crascit.com/2015/03/28/enabling-cxx11-in-cmake/
This resulted in two bugs:
1. Custom assets would not be unmounted when quitting to the menu.
2. Custom assets would be unmounted when playtesting a level.
The solution is to unmount assets in Game::quittomenu() instead.
Main game would retain custom level assets, now fixed. Also, custom fonts load properly. Finally, levels can be stored as a zip and placed in the levels folder, with the .vvvvvv file at the root of the zip and custom asset folders (graphics, sounds etc) also at the root.
Previously, the editor would always say it saved or loaded a level,
even if it was not successful. For example, because a file to load does
not exist, a file to save has illegal characters in its name or the
name is too long to be stored. Now failure is reported. Also, when
quitting the editor and saving before quitting is unsuccessful, the
editor will abort quitting.
I think it's a bit silly to always include the Steam and GOG APIs
whenever we build VVVVVV, since the only time they'll ever be used is in
a live build and not a dev build.
So now Steam and GOG are disabled by default. If you want them, you'll
need to add -DSTEAM=ON or -DGOG=ON respectively at CMake time. They're
also both automatically enabled for release builds.
This commit adds bounds checks to those commands in case say()/reply()
asks for more lines than there are left in the all-script-lines buffer
(not just the current script, so in order for it to segfault your script
has to be last in the all-script-lines vector), and in case text() asks
for more lines than there are in the rest of the rest of the parsed
internal script.
For some reason, scriptclass::loadcustom() sometimes refers to
`customscript` as `script.customscript` instead of `customscript`. The
`script.` is unnecessary.
Although it's not an issue, this should minimize the stack footprint of
calling scriptclass::load(), especially if it goes down to calling
scriptclass::loadcustom() or scriptclass::loadother().
Otherwise, it would end up indexing a vector out-of-bounds, which is UB
and causes a segfault, too. This is used in some constructs like
say(-1)
<internal command>
where the text contents don't matter, only that a text box shows up.
The `speak` command is the exact same as the `speak_active` command,
except without one line of code. So instead of copy-pasting the entire
thing, it's better to just combine them into the same chunk of code.
Instead each line is now held in a const char* array, like it should be.
This results in less work for the compiler, especially with
optimization, since every time the compiler encounters a constant
argument in a function, it has to go off and locate a place to put it.
But if we're upfront and say, hey, here's all the strings we ever need
conveniently packaged into one place, it'll be much more cooperative.
I have the feeling that none of the devs understood what extern did, and
they kind of just sprinkled it everywhere until things started working.
But like all other classes, it should just be one line in the class's
respective header file, and shouldn't be so messy.
