There's no reason it needs to be an std::string here.
Although, realistically, we should be using an enum instead of
string-typing, but, eh, that can be fixed later.
Companions would not spawn if you didn't load the current room via a
room transition. This meant that companions wouldn't spawn if you loaded
a save file with a companion, at least not until you moved to a
different room and triggered a screen transition. But most importantly,
it meant that the Intermission 1 supercrewmate would never spawn,
because going to Intermission 1 does a straight gotoroom, and does not
do a room transition.
Turns out the roomchange refactor broke things, because of course it
did. The companion logic was implicitly relying on that bool to be set,
because...? Either way, it doesn't make sense. Using roomchange implied
that the code wanted to be ran only when doing a room transition, which
is clearly not the case here. The best thing to do here is to just move
it to a separate function that gets called at the end of
mapclass::gotoroom().
So, I ended up breaking supercrewmate spawning with that roomchange
refactor. However, upon investigating how to fix it, I was running into
a weird interpolation issue due to scmmoveme, as well as the companion
spawning in the ground in "Very Good". And I was wondering why I or no
one else ended up running into them.
Well, as it turns out, scmmoveme ends up doing absolutely nothing. There
are only two instances where scmmoveme is used. The first is if you
respawn in "Very Good", and somehow have your scmprogress set to that
room. But that's impossible, because whenever you respawn, your
scmprogress is always set to the one after the room you respawn in. Even
if you respawned in the room previous to "Very Good" (which is "Don't
Get Ahead of Yourself!"), it still wouldn't work, since the logic always
kicks in when a gotoroom happens, and not only when a supercrewmate is
actually spawned. Since the scmprogress doesn't match, that case never
gets triggered, and we get to the second time scmmoveme is used, which
is in the catch-all case that always executes.
This second instance... also does nothing, because since we just
respawned, and our scmprogress got set to the room ahead of us, there is
no supercrewmate on screen. Then getscm() returns 0, and the player is
always indice 0, so the only thing we end up doing is setting the
player's x-position to their own x-position. Brilliant.
Anyway, this code results in interpolation issues and the supercrewmate
spawning in the ground on "Very Good" if you die, when my fix is
applied, because my fix moves this logic around to a different frame
order, and that actually ends up making scmmoveme no longer dead code.
So to recap: we have dead code, which looks like it does something, but
doesn't. But if you move it around in a certain way, it ends up having
harmful effects. One of the joys of working on this game...
It's also hilarious that it gets saved to the save file. Why? The only
time this variable is true, it is for literally less than a frame,
because it always gets set to false, because you always respawn using a
gotoroom whenever the supercrewmate dies, because you never respawn in
the same room as a supercrewmate, because Intermission 1 was
deliberately designed that way (else you'd keep continually dying since
the supercrewmate wouldn't move out of the way).
These were bfont_rect, bg_rect, foot_rect, and images_rect.
bg_rect was only used once to draw the ghost buffer in the editor, but
that was only because Ally didn't know you could just pass NULL in, cuz
the ghost buffer is the same size as the backbuffer.
RGBflip() does the exact same thing as getRGB(), now that all the
surface masks have been fixed. This axes RGBflip() and changes all
callers to use getRGB() instead. It is more readable that way.
By doing this, there is less copy-pasting. Additionally, it is now
easier to search for RGBf() - which is an ENTIRELY different function
than RGBflip() - now that the name of RGBf is no longer the first four
characters of some different, unrelated function. Previously I would've
had to do `rg 'RGBf[^\w]'` which was stupid and awful and I hated it.
Turns out, the r, g, and b arguments don't actually do anything!
There was a call to RGBf() in the function. RGBf() is just getRGB() but
first adds 128 and then divides by 3 to each of the color channels
beforehand. Unfortunately, RGBf() does not have any side effects, and
the function threw away the return value. Bravo.
This also reveals that the website images drawn in the credits in the
main menu are only recolored because of a stale `ct` set by the previous
graphics.bigprint(), and not because any color values were passed in to
drawimagecol()... What fun surprises the game has in store for me every
day.
This fixes a regression where entering playtesting while a track was
fading out (by exiting out of playtesting with a track playing and then
immediately entering back in with the level start music set) would
result in no music.
The cause is the game doing fades even though nothing is playing, which
puts it in a confusing state.
This wrapper function is for (a) future-proofing (b) proactive
prevention of future copy-pasting (c) to clarify that we never actually
halt music in the SDL_mixer sense, we only pause it, so to check if the
music is halted we actually check if the music is paused instead. This
is important because Mix_PlayingMusic() does not check if the music is
paused and Mix_PausedMusic() does not check if the music is halted.
When you're on the music changing screen in the editor, it plays the
current track. When you return, it stops playing the track. However, if
you press escape, it doesn't stop playing the track. This is because
pressing escape just returns to the previous menu without stopping
playing the track.
To fix this, I just added some kludge in the return menu function. This
is kinda super bad but it works for now and is just something to clean
up later. Maybe like each menu having exit callbacks or something, I
dunno.
This is kinda a regression, kinda sorta not. In 2.2 and previous,
pressing escape would just close the settings menu entirely, which also
bypassed the music fadeout. 2.3 made it so pressing escape doesn't
entirely close the settings menu, and just returns to the previous menu,
which fails in a different way. But the intended way is definitely to
select the return option and having the music fade out.
This function now properly deletes the Super Gravitron record, the Super
Gravitron rank, and the best game deaths. They were not being properly
reset previously, meaning you would have to go into your save file to
properly clean out your save data.
If the map size was less than 20x20, platv values outside the map would
end up being saved as 67372036.
This happens because SDL_memset() operates on the byte level, and not
the multi-byte level. So it takes only the lower 8 bits of 4 and repeats
it for each byte in each integer, creating 67372036.
This was done in 2.2 and previous probably to fix the fact that there
were multiple conflicting audio controls (the player wants to mute the
audio but the game wants to fade in the audio), but is now actively
harmful since 2.3, because muting the game while finishing the
completion prompt means the music will never come back in, even after
unmuting.
I also notice that when collecting a custom crewmate, the game checks
for the level's start music instead of if there's actually a current
song playing right now. I don't know why this was done, because it
would've been better to copy-paste the trinket collection logic here.
It's entirely possible for the audio to just be muted and never come
back if the level has no start music but plays a song by using a script.
Anyways, leaving it alone because it's quite possible that a level might
be intentionally designed around this, I can't really tell the
intentions of every level creator, and it's easy to work around (either
don't use custom crewmates, which every modern level basically does
nowadays, or just set the start music).
For some reason, when completing a custom level and fading to the menu,
the game attempts to fade the music in and also fade the music out at
the same time. This results in nothing happening at all, and in 2.2 and
previous, results in audio fading out from max volume while the game is
frozen on a black screen after the fadeout.
To avoid any potential badness, just remove these.
In the main game, if you press R during the trinket collection prompt
after collecting a trinket, AND you have never entered Comms Relay, and
you respawn in a different room, the trinket collection gamestate will
be interrupted, but you will still be left with the advance text prompt,
cutscene bars, and muted music.
The previous workaround to fix the music would be to mute and then
unmute the game, but due to the new music changes, this workaround
(which in and of itself is a bug) no longer works. Instead, the music
would have to be restarted by going into another zone on the map.
Having an advance text prompt outside of a cutscene results in the
player being unable to flip, but they can still move around left and
right.
Speedrunners previously used the no-Comms-Relay interrupting behavior to
skip certain trinket collection prompts entirely with a frame-perfect R
press, so I can't patch that out. Having an advance text prompt outside
of a cutscene is (ab)used in custom levels to intentionally prevent the
player from flipping, and furthermore, it's also used in credits warp
runs of the main game to increment the gamestate; so I cannot patch that
out. The ability to press R everywhere even during cutscenes was added
for good reason - to make it less likely that a softlock can happen - so
I don't want to revert it.
But I still think this is worth fixing because previously, the
punishment for missing the frame-perfect window late was simply not
skipping the trinket prompt (since the R-press would be ignored), but
now the punishment is basically having to reset because of the advance
text prompt.
I would usually handle this in gamestate 0, but awful custom levels
might want to intentionally interrupt the gamestate to do, I don't know,
something. No level does that so far, but I'd like to do the least
invasive thing.
So what I've done is made it so the effects of interruption are undone
if you press R and the gamestate is interrupted. This is handled in
mapclass::resetplayer().
Without this, `fixedloop` will loop infinitely until focus is regained.
However, Emscripten won't actually know that focus is regained until
`fixedloop` returns.
getBGR, when used in FillRect, was actually passing colors in RGB order.
But now the masks are fixed, so remove it, and fix up all existing
getBGR colors to use getRGB instead.
Due to the mask inconsistencies, getRGB calls that were passed to
FillRect ended up actually being passed in BGR order. But now that the
masks are fixed, all these BGR colors look wrong. So, fix up all of them
(...that's a _lot_ of copy-pasted code...) to be passed in RGB order.
This fixes the color ordering of every SDL_Surface in the game.
Basically, images need to be loaded in ABGR format (except if they don't
have alpha, then you use RGB? I'm not sure what's going on here), and
then they will be converted to RGB/RGBA afterwards.
Due to the surfaces actually being BGR/BGRA, the game used to use
getRGBA/getRGB to swap the colors back around to BGRA/BGR, but I've
fixed those too.
If it's at all possible to use `const std::string&` when passing
`std::string`s around, then we use it. This is to limit the amount of
memory usage as a result of the frequent use of `std::string`s, so the
game no longer unnecessarily copies strings when it doesn't need to.
I've made a new function, Graphics::do_print(), that does the actual
text printing itself. All the interfaces of the other functions have
been left alone, but now just call do_print() instead.
I also removed PrintOffAlpha() and just calculated the center x-position
in bprintalpha() itself (like bigbprint() does) to make it easier to
de-duplicate code.
Text boxes have `r`, `g`, and `b`, and `tr`, `tg`, and `tb`. `tr`, `tg`,
and `tb` are the real colors of the text box, and `r`, `g`, and `b` are
merely the colors of the text box as the text box's alpha value is
applied to them.
Compare this with, say, activity zones (which are drawn like text boxes
but aren't text boxes): There is `activity_r`, `activity_g`, and
`activity_b`, and when they're drawn they're all multiplied by
`act_alpha`.
So just do the same thing here. Ditch the `tr`, `tg`, and `tb`
variables, and make `r`, `g`, and `b` the new `tr`, `tg`, and `tb`
variables. That way, there's simply less state to have to update
separately. So we can get rid of `textboxclass::setcol()` as well.
This is a variable that's only used in one method, and it's always
initialized beforehand. No need to carry it around, taking up memory,
and making code analysis more complicated.
All parameters are now made const, to aid in the reader in knowing that
they aren't ever changed.
Useless comments have been removed and been replaced with helpful
comments.
Useless parentheses have been removed.
Spacing has been made consistent.
Declarations and code are no longer mixed.
I'm honestly not too sure why drawcustompixeltextbox ever existed? All
it seemed to do was draw even more horizontal/vertical tiles to finish
any gaps in the tiling... which was all completely unnecessary and
wasteful, because even the previous drawpixeltextbox implementation
covered all gaps in all custom level map sizes that I tried.
Anyway, that at least gets rid of one copy-pasted function.
This draws the remaining horizontal/vertical tile just beside the final
corner if the width/height is not a multiple of 8. (It'd be wasteful to
draw it if the width/height was a perfect multiple of 8, and result in
double-drawing translucent pixels if there were any.)
This has an advantage over the previous system of shifting the
horizontal/vertical tiling, in that custom corner textures don't look
weird due to overlapping like this. Now, custom horizontal/vertical
tiles _can_ look weird if they don't completely tile correctly (or if
they have translucent pixels), but that's better than mucking up the
corners.
`w` and `h` are provided alongside `w2` and `h2`. `w2` and `h2` are in
blocks of 8, while `w` and `h` are in pixels. Therefore, `w2` and `h2`
can just be figured out by diving `w` and `h` by 8.
Also, `xo` and `yo` were used to slide the horizontal/vertical tiling of
the text box a bit into one set of corners, so the horizontal/vertical
tiling wouldn't visibly overlap with the other corners, if using default
textures. This requires hardcoding it for each width/height of text box,
which isn't something that's generalizable. Also, it results in corners
that look weird if the corners have custom textures that don't adhere to
the same shape as default textures.
In the next commit I'll fix the non-multiple-of-8 text box dimensions
differently. Can't do it in this commit or the diff looks weird (at
least with my diff algorithm).
This fixes a bug where the player could bring up the map on the very
first frame of a gamemode(game) animation. This is because the menu
animation checked graphics.menuoffset, but graphics.menuoffset wouldn't
have changed at that point because it only set graphics.resumegamemode.
Instead, just check for graphics.resumegamemode directly. We also need
to assign it to false whenever the map is closed so the player won't be
prevented from using the map screen again.
This fixes all the headaches about map.extrarow having to be the correct
value and which way it should be and whatnot. The latest headache was
the detection that prevent user-initiated menu animations while an
animation was already happening being tripped because
graphics.menuoffset would be 230 (due to closing the menu while being in
a room without a room name), but then going to a room with a room name
would check for 240 instead, and 230 is less than 240. (The numbers are
the wrong way round because I got the ternaries the wrong way round, but
even if the numbers are the correct way round, the bug would still
happen, but it would just be reversed.)
So instead, I've just made it 240 for both. This doesn't change the
duration of the menu animation (because the animation moves in
increments of 25, and 230 / 25 == 240 / 25 under integer division). It
might change the animation slightly, but it was already inconsistent
anyway because map.extrarow was always set to be 1 in custom levels, and
I legitimately would not be able to tell the difference without
recording the animations and nitpicking it frame-by-frame.
Fixes#841.
The player gets kicked out of the Super Gravitron if they have
invincibility or slowdown enabled. However, this can be confusing if no
message pops up
( https://steamcommunity.com/app/70300/discussions/0/3039355280230178910/ )
. So I've made it so that a text box will pop up when they get kicked
out.
