If you exited from the editor, custom assets would not be unmounted. But
I made sure to put the FILESYSTEM_unmountassets() before the
music.play(6) because otherwise the menu music wouldn't play.
You could also exit to the menu from a custom level using the
rollcredits() command, so I made sure to put a
FILESYSTEM_unmountassets() when returning to the menu from the credits
as well. I also made sure to put it before the music.playef(18) so
there's no risk of the sound effect not playing properly, or not playing
the non-level-specific one.
I added a comment to both FILESYSTEM_unmountasset()s to make sure anyone
reading the code is aware of the frame order dependency.
This is really awful, but there's not much we can do.
TinyXML-2 no matter what will never stop on newlines, so without
changing the XML parser, this is the best we can do - just remove the
"\n " (that's a linefeed plus exactly 12 spaces) if it
appears at the end of the contents of an edentity tag.
Also a giant comment for good measure.
Looks like duplicate player entities persisting across rooms is a
semi-useful feature used by some levels. Still, though, it's a bit of a
nuisance to have duplicate player entities persisting across game
sessions. And levels can't rely on this persistence anyway, anyone could
just close the game and re-open it to get rid of the duplicate entities
regardless.
If a trinket or crewmate ID is out-of-bounds, it will not be created.
This is not only because the `collect`/`customcollect` check in
entityclass::createentity() would then be out-of-bounds, but also
touching it would also be out-of-bounds, too.
Display trinkets will always be created if the ID is out-of-bounds.
Apparently some people (@AllyTally) have been creating display trinkets
with IDs of -1 in order to get a display trinket that always shows up,
which is rather horrifying. But it makes sense, there's a lot more
nonzero int values than there are the amount of int values that are
zero, so it's fairly likely that the `collect` check will always come up
to be true (nonzero). Also, it's more useful to be able to have a
display trinket that always shows up without having to collect a trinket
beforehand, than it is to have it not be created (because technically by
default, you're already in the world where you don't have it created).
Display trinkets still have their `para` set to their ID, though, and if
they managed to gain an `onentity` of 1, bad things could happen... So
just to be sure, I added INBOUNDS checks to crewmates and trinkets in
entityclass::updateentities() so no UB will happen if you collect a
crewmate/trinket with an out-of-bounds ID. Also, I de-duplicated the
`collect`/`customcollect` setting, too.
The flashy color of the elephant can be hard on people's eyes,
especially if they're the type who want screen effects disabled because
they might have epilepsy. The elephant takes up a good 3/4ths of the
screen, you know. If screen effects are disabled, the elephant will use
color 22, which is a neutral gray.
I'm only adding this because the VVVVVV speedrun mods (@tzann, @mohoc)
invalidate all runs that have the elephant texture removed, even though
many people would be looking at a potentially epilepsy-inducing image
many times a day grinding 100% speedruns. (Imo, their justification for
this is flimsy at best.)
The only class that actually needs its i/j/k kept is scriptclass,
because some custom levels rely on it for creating custom activity
zones. So I haven't touched that.
Other than that, there's no chance that anything important relies on
i/j/k in any other class. For that to be the case, it would have to use
i/j/k without initializing it beforehand, and that can simply be
detected by removing the attribute from the header file and seeing where
the compiler complains. And the compiler complains only about cases
where it's initialized first. (Note that due to this check, I *haven't*
removed Graphics's `m` as it precisely does exactly this, using it
without initializing it first.)
Interestingly enough, otherlevelclass and towerclass have unused i/k
variables for whatever reason.
This prevents the game from being saved if you manage to trigger a
savetele() during a "special" gamemode (like if you use the Gravitron
out-of-bounds glitch when replaying Intermission 2, then go to Game
Complete that way).
If you don't have a font.txt, it could happen that a font index is
requested that's out-of-bounds. And that would result in a segfault. So
to fix that I'm adding INBOUNDS checks to all functions that index the
fontmap.
This fixes indexing out-of-bounds in the functions that draw all the
special images such as the elephant and teleporters. Let's make sure the
game doesn't segfault.
I tracked down all the functions that took in an entity's drawframe and
made sure that no matter what value an entity's drawframe was, the game
would never segfault.
To deal with using a different image file for Flip Mode, it looks like
copy-paste was used. This isn't exactly maintainable code. So I'm
replacing it with a reference that changes depending on if the game is
in Flip Mode or not, instead.
Removing the player entity has all sorts of nasty effects, such as
softlocking the game because many inputs require there to be a player
present, such as opening the quit menu.
The most infamous glitch to remove the player entity is the Gravitron
Fling, where the game doesn't see a gravity line at a specific
y-position in the current room, and when it moves the bottom gravity
line it moves the player instead. When the gravity line gets outside the
room, it gets destroyed, so if the player gets dragged outside the room,
they get destroyed, too. (Don't misinterpret this as saying anytime the
player gets dragged outside the room, they get destroyed - it's only the
Gravitron logic that destroys them.)
Also, there are many places in the code that use entity-getting
functions that have a fallback value of 0. If it was possible to remove
the player, then it's possible for this fallback value of 0 to index
obj.entities out-of-bounds, which is not good.
To fix this, entityclass::removeentity() is now a bool that signifies if
the entity was successfully removed or not. If the entity given is the
player (meaning it first checks if it's rule 0, just so in 99% of cases
it'll short-circuit and won't do the next check, which is if
entityclass::getplayer() says the indice to be removed is the player),
then it'll refuse to remove the entity, and return false.
This is a change in behavior where callers might expect
entityclass::removeentity() to always succeed, so I changed the
removeentity_iter() macro to only decrement if removing the entity
succeeded. I also changed entityclass::updateentities() from
'removeentity(i); return true;' to 'return removeentity(i);'.
Apparently it results in Undefined Behavior if the argument given isn't
representable as an unsigned char. This means that (potentially) plain
char and signed chars could be unsafe to use as well.
It's rare that this could happen in practice, though. std::isdigit() is
only used by is_positive_num() which is only used by find_tag(), so
someone would have to deliberately put something crazy after an `&#` in
a custom level file in order for this to happen. Still, better to be
safe than sorry and all.
This fixes a compile error that could happen where the compiler doesn't
know what std::isdigit() is, but I'm puzzled as to why this wasn't
happening earlier, 'cause I've only been reported that it happens by
only one person.
Continuing from #280, another potential source of out-of-bounds indexing
(and thus, Undefined Behavior badness) comes from script commands. A
majority of them don't do any input validation at all, which means the
potential for out-of-bounds indexing and segfaulting in custom levels.
So it's always good to add bounds checks to them.
Interesting note, the only existing command that has bounds checks is
the flag() command. That means you can't turn out-of-bounds flags on or
off. But there's no bounds checks for ifflag(), or customifflag(), which
means you CAN index out-of-bounds with those commands! That's a bit bad
to do, so.
Also, I decided to add the bounds checks for playef() at the
musicclass::playef() level, instead of just the level of the playef()
command. I don't know of any other cases outside of the command where
musicclass::playef() will index out of bounds, but musicclass is the one
containing the indexed vector anyway, I wanted to cover more cases, and
it's better to be safe than sorry.
And this the function with the least amount of cases where its sentinel
value is used unchecked. Thankfully. obj.getplayer() was a bit of a slug
to get through.
obj.getplayer() can return -1, which can cause out-of-bounds indexing of
obj.entities, which is really bad. This was by far the most changes, as
obj.getplayer() is the most used entity-getting function that returns
-1, as well as the most-used function whose sentinel value goes
unchecked.
To deal with the usage of obj.getplayer() in mapclass::warpto(), I just
added general bounds checks inside that function instead of changing all
the callers.
A few months ago, I added ghosts to the VVVVVV: Community Edition editor. I was told recently I should think
about upstreaming it, and with Terry saying go ahead I finally ported them into VVVVVV. There's one slight
difference however--you can choose whether you have them or not in the editor's settings menu. They're off by
default, and this is saved to the save file.
Anyway, when you're playtesting, the game saves the players position, color, room coordinates and sprite every 3
frames. The max is 100, where if it tries to add more, the oldest one gets removed.
When you exit playtesting, the saved positions appear one at a time, and you can use the Z key to speed it up.
[Here's a video of them in action.](https://o.lol-sa.me/4H21zCv.mp4)
2.2 and earlier had this god-awful thing where it put the closing tag of
an edentity onto the next line, and then kept the indentation the same.
This requires parsing the XML in an extremely specific way (i.e.
ignoring the whitespace) so the newline and indentation isn't taken as
part of the actual contents of the tag.
2.3 removed this awful whitespace entirely to make it easier on parsers.
When I tested #270, I tested against a 2.3 re-save of Dimension Open and
diffed the two, because I thought testing against the original version
of the level would result in a bunch of noise I didn't want due to the
whitespace change. Well, I did exactly what I intended, and ended up
ignoring the whitespace change so much that levels saved in this stupid
format ended up getting broken.
Luckily, we can just tell TinyXML-2 to parse a document exactly like how
TinyXML-1 would've parsed it, by supplying the COLLAPSE_WHITESPACE enum
to it (by default it's on PRESERVE_WHITESPACE).
This removes the TinyXML source files, removes it from CMakeLists.txt,
removes all the includes, and removes the functions
FILESYSTEM_saveTiXmlDocument() and FILESYSTEM_loadTiXmlDocument() (use
FILESYSTEM_saveTiXml2Document() and FILESYSTEM_loadTiXml2Document()
instead).
Additionally I've cleaned up the tinyxml2.h include in FileSystemUtils.h
so that it doesn't actually include tinyxml2.h unnecessarily, meaning a
change to TinyXML2 shouldn't rebuild all files that include
FileSystemUtils.h.
Seems a bit wasteful to do the whole "parse the XML document thing"
instead of a simple file check. It doesn't even fail if the XML document
is invalid, but whatever.
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.
