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.
In summary, if you got to gamestate 1002 or 1012 without an advancetext,
and you had completestop on, you were basically softlocked. So just add
those gamestates there and advance the gamestate if advancetext is off.
This infinite loop would occur because once you pressed left or right,
the game keeps searching through all the list of teleporters until it
finds one that is unlocked. But if there's none that are unlocked, then
the game goes into an infinite loop, which brings up the Not Responding
dialog on Windows so you can kill it.
Normally, you're not supposed to have no teleporters unlocked while
being able to access a teleporter, but you can achieve this by going to
Class Dismissed from a custom level (while making sure you don't start
in 0,0, because there's a teleporter there that you would unlock).
The solution is to make sure at least one teleporter is unlocked before
doing any searching.
A do-while is just a while-loop, but the inner block will always run
once before the conditional is checked.
It looks like in order to achieve this desired behavior (always run the
block once before checking the conditional), instead of using a do-while
loop, Terry just used a normal while-loop and copy-pasted the inner
block on the outside.
So I'm de-duplicating the code.
This was caused by the fact that not all unlocks were done through the
Game::unlocknum() function. Some just set the unlock number directly.
But it's fixed now.
Ved has this useful feature where instead of having to manually travel
to a room whose coordinates you know, you can just press G and type in
coordinates to go there.
VCE added this, but I changed the text to be "x,y" instead of "(x,y)"
because otherwise it could confuse someone into thinking they need to
type parentheses when in reality they don't need to and typing them will
just make it not work.
Also I made sure to add an error message if the user types in an invalid
format. Failing silently would just confuse people, and maybe they'll
start thinking the feature doesn't work or something like that. VCE
doesn't have this helpful error message.
Lastly, VCE has a bug where if you use the shortcut to go from one
horizontally/vertically warping room to another, the background of the
previous room will still be there and scroll off with the background of
the room you went to, instead of just having the new background only.
This is because they forgot a 'graphics.backgrounddrawn = false;'. But
don't worry, *I* didn't forget about it.
This is basically FIQ's patch from VCE, except he never upstreamed it
because he said something along the lines of it seeming to not fit the
purpose of upstream.
But anyway, it basically just de-duplicates all the text input and text
finishing handling code and cuts down on the large amount of copy-paste
in the editor functions. It makes things way more maintainable.
Interesting note, it seems like FIQ had the intent to refactor the text
input in editor settings (i.e. the level metadata details), but never
got around to it in VCE. Maybe we'll finish that job for him later.
The problem we're running into is entirely contained in the Screen - we need to
either decouple graphics context init from Screen::init or we need to take out
the screenbuffer interaction from loadstats (which I'm more in favor of since we
can just pull the config values and pass them to Screen::init later).
Allowing users to reverse cycle tilesets/tilecols/enemies prevents them
from having to press the hotkey a zillion times in order to get to the
one they want if the one they want just happens to be behind the current
one they're on.
This tilecol conveniently lets players use one of the unpatterned Space
Station tilesets you see on the left side of tiles.png but never get to
use without Direct Mode.
It does have a few weird quirks, but it should be safe to use.
Previously, it was:
if (ed.settingsmod)
{
(Settings menu controls)
...
}
else
{
(Literally everything else
Also a bunch of copy-pasted ed.keydelay checks)
...
}
Now it is:
if (ed.settingsmod)
{
(Settings menu controls)
...
}
else if (ed.keydelay > 0)
{
ed.keydelay--;
}
else if (key.keymap[SDLK_LCTRL] || key.keymap[SDLK_RCTRL])
{
// Ctrl modifiers
...
}
else if (key.keymap[SDLK_LSHIFT] || key.keymap[SDLK_RSHIFT])
{
// Shift modifiers
...
}
else
{
// No modifiers
ed.shiftkey = false;
...
}
It might not counteract how completely huge this code is, but it's at
least organized better.
Also, I had to change the map resize logic around slightly, else it'll
get triggered any time you do a shift modifier keypress.
Their drawframe needs to be incremented by 2 instead of 1, because
they're double-sized.
Animation type 3 is used by the cloud emitter in The Solution is
Dilution, animation type 6 is used by the radar dish in Comms Relay.
Animation type 4 is used by the maverick bus in B-B-B-Busted, but it's
not noticeable since it spawns offscreen. This bug would cause all of
those entities to appear incorrectly for the deltaframes between the
tick the room got loaded and the next tick after that.
This is noticeable in flibit's tweet showing off my over-30-FPS patch:
https://twitter.com/flibitijibibo/status/1273983014930993153
Now that you have a mini menu in MAPMODE, it's a bit annoying to have to
deal with the slowed-down timestep when pressing left/right/ACTION
inside it. Especially since going to an options menu restores the
timestep back to normal (because it's in TITLEMODE). Also removed it
from TELEPORTERMODE for consistency.
That way, they don't show up as "?: something else" and their proper
names are shown.
I didn't update the song numbers to include the newly-allowed songs
because otherwise it'd no longer correlate with what song numbers you
use for the music() simplified command.
This is basically just bolting on the "frames" part of a time trial
score. There's not enough space to properly show it on the time trial
select screen, maybe we can figure something out later. But I at least
want to implement the functionality now.
This doesn't make the editor completely accessible on controller, but
it's a good start at least. VCE already let you move between rooms with
the D-Pad, though.
These functions will only complain once if they receive an out-of-bounds
tile. And it's only once because these functions are called frequently
in rendering code.
A macro WHINE_ONCE() has been added in order to not duplicate code.
Disabling the one-way recolor if assets are mounted is needed to make
existing levels not look bad, but what about levels that want to use the
recolor anyway?
The best solution here is to just introduce another bool into the XML,
and make the re-color opt-in and only present if assets are mounted if
that tag is present.
Some levels (like Unshackled) have decided to manually re-color the
one-way tiles on their own, and us overriding their re-color is not
something they would want. This does mean custom levels with custom
assets don't get to take advantage of the re-color, but it's the exact
same behavior as before, so it shouldn't really matter that much.
I would've liked to specifically detect if a custom tiles.png or
tiles2.png was in play, rather than simply disabling it if any asset was
mounted, but it seems that detecting if a specific file was mounted from
a specific zip isn't really PHYSFS's strong suit.
One-ways have always had this problem where they're always yellow. That
means unless you specifically use yellow, it'll never match the tileset.
The best way to fix this without requiring new graphics or changing
existing ones is to simply re-tint the one-way with the given color of
the room. That way, the black part of the tile is still black, but the
yellow is now some other color.
Ved has this useful feature where you can "lock" a gravity line or warp
line in place, meaning it'll no longer extend its length until it
touches a tile. A line is locked if the p4 of the edentity is 1.
VVVVVV doesn't support this, but now it does. The horrifying thing is
that it stretches the lines out *while rendering the line*, so it looks
like logic and rendering aren't that separate after all (although, I
already learned that when I did my over-30-FPS patch).
This change was half-backported from the localization branch, except I
just came up with "scaling mode" as a better term than the more generic
"graphics mode". It doesn't make sense to still have the option be
called "toggle letterbox" because a third option (integer mode) was
added at some point.
The options for fullscreen and scaling mode were at the top, then there
were various other graphical options, and then the option to resize to
the nearest window size that is of an integer multiple was all the way
below that. Now that last option is moved to be right below the other
options related to window sizing.
