This commit adds most of the code changes necessary for making the game
translatable, but does not yet "unhardcode" nearly all of the strings
(except in a few cases where it was hard to separate added
loc::gettexts from foundational code changes, or all the localization-
related menus which were also added by this commit.)

A relevant paragraph copied from the original commit history:
The idea is that we store all strings somewhere managed, and then the
hashmap only needs pointers to those strings. For storing strings, I
created a `Textbook` structure, which consists of one or more 50 KB
"pages" (allocated as needed) on which you can simply write strings in
both languages back-to-back with `textbook_store(textbook, text)` and
get pointers to each of them. (I was originally going to just use one
big buffer and realloc to double the size when filled up, but then the
hashmap would be full of dangling pointers...) When needed, like when
switching to a different language, an entire textbook can be freed at
once.

I think this is because if you both check that __has_builtin is defined
and use it in the same 'if' preprocessor statement, it can error because
there's no equivalent to short-circuiting in preprocessor statements.
_SDL_HAS_BUILTIN should be safer.
This creates the game over screen for dying in No Death Mode. It's three
lines long and it's only called once. There's no reason it has to be a
separate function. From the name it sounds like it was meant to be a
generic function but it's anything but that. So just inline it in to
where it's called.
This fixes a bug where players could flip in mid-air at the start of
custom levels whose start points were in mid-air, because
onground/onroof were not being reset. This could also be done when
loading in to a save with a checkpoint in mid-air. All that's required
is to exit the game while standing on a surface (or otherwise having a
nonzero onground/onroof).
This reminded me that there were other variables on the player entity
persisting through that made loading in to a level not have a totally
clean slate, such as walkingframe (which could affect sequencing
individual TASes together into one TAS), so it's better to just destroy
the player entity and recreate it.
Except some attributes still have to be persisted for 2.2 and 2.0
glitchrunner mode. But it's better that this is done via a whitelist
rather than a blacklist.
The player duplicate removal code in hardreset is mostly redundant now
(except for some very unlikely corner cases), but there's nothing wrong
with having redundant code as long as it's not harmful. I had a
paragraph here justifying why it could be removed but decided it was
simpler to just keep it.
This print is useful to know if an achievement (one that's not already
unlocked) would actually be unlocked in an end user environment, while
running the game in a dev environment.
Also fixed up the style of the function because it was definitely
inconsistent with the surrounding code.
This overhauls scriptclass::gamemode massively.
The first change is that it now uses an enum, and enforces using that
enum via using its type instead of an int. This is because whenever
you're reading any calls to startgamemode, you have no idea what magic
number actually corresponds to what unless you read startgamemode
itself. And when you do read it, not every case is commented adequately,
so you'd have to do more work to figure out what each case is. With the
enum, it's obvious and self-evident, and that also removes the need for
all the comments in the function too. Some math is still done on mode
variables (to simplify time trial code), but it's okay, we can just cast
between int and the enum as needed.
The second is that common code is now de-duplicated. There was a lot of
code that every case does, such as calling hardreset, setting Flip Mode,
resetting the player, calling gotoroom and so on.
Now some code may be duplicated between cases, so I've tried to group up
similar cases where possible (most notable example is grouping up the
main game and No Death Mode cases together). But some code still might
be duplicated in the end. Which is okay - I could've tried to
de-duplicate it further but that just results in logic relevant to a
specific case that's located far from the actual case itself. It's much
better to leave things like setting fademode or loading scripts in the
case itself.
This also fixes a bug since 2.3 where playing No Death Mode (and never
opening and closing the options menu) and beating it would also give you
the Flip Mode trophy, since turning on the flag to invalidate Flip Mode
in startgamemode only happened for the main game cases and in previous
versions the game relied upon this flag being set when using a
teleporter for some reason (which I removed in 2.3). Now instead of
specifying it per case, I just do a !map.custommode check instead so it
covers every single case at once.
While refactoring scriptclass::startgamemode, I noticed that these
variables weren't being reset. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to have
affected anything because they get overwritten one way or another in
startgamemode. But it's good just to be defensive and reset them anyway.
They are not reset in 2.2 or 2.0 glitchrunner mode because dying during
exiting to the menu is needed for credits warp, and that means the
checkpoint position needs to be maintained through.
This is to indicate when a code path is absolutely, for certain, 100%
unreachable. Useful as the default case inside a case-switch that is for
sure 100% exhaustive because it's inside the case of another case-switch
(and the default case is there to suppress compiler warnings about the
case-switch not being exhaustive), which is a situation coming up in my
scriptclass::startgamemode refactor.
It does this by deliberately invoking undefined behavior, either using a
compiler builtin that does the same thing or being a noreturn function
that returns. (And undefined behavior is not undefined behavior if it is
not executed in a code path, otherwise all NULL checks would be useless
because it'd dereference something that could be NULL in another code
path.)
I have no idea why they were floats in the first place. They are
coordinates, and coordinates are integer positions in this game. They
get converted to float only to be explicitly `static_cast`ed back to
ints in `testwallsy`.
This variable passes along the rule of the entity, which is an int. No
idea why it was converted to a float. Thankfully this is only used for
an unused block type, so it doesn't really matter.
This makes it so room names are no longer pointers to someone else's
memory, and instead to set them you use `mapclass::setroomname`. If the
string is short enough to fit in a static, no-alloc buffer, then it gets
copied there. Otherwise, a new heap allocation is made that duplicates
the string, and the new pointer is used instead.
This makes it possible for room names to contain arbitrary data whose
origin is temporary (e.g. from a script command that could be added in
the future).
This replaces all calls to SDL_free with a new macro, VVV_free, that
nulls the pointer afterwards. This mitigates any use-after-frees and
also completely eliminates double-frees. The same is done for any
function to free specific objects such as SDL_FreeSurface, with the
VVV_freefunc macro.
No exceptions for any of these calls, even if the pointer is discarded
or zeroed afterwards anyway. Better safe than sorry.
This is a macro rather than a function that takes in a
pointer-to-pointer because such a function would have type issues that
require casting and that's just not safe.
Even though SDL_free and other SDL functions already check for NULL, the
macro has a NULL check for other functions that don't. For example,
FAudioVoice_DestroyVoice does not check for NULL.
FILESYSTEM_freeMemory has been axed in favor of VVV_free because it
functionally does the same thing except for `unsigned char*` only.
Trinket and teleporter legends would be drawn even if they were out of
bounds. Trinket legends in particular were easy to do because you can
just place a trinket in a custom level and resize the map to not include
the room of the trinket.
Now, there are checks added so they won't be added if they are out of
bounds. This is in line with the fact that, since 2.3, if a trinket
exists outside of the map in custom levels, it won't count towards the
number of trinkets.
It's becoming pretty clear that the size of the map is important enough
to be queried a lot, but each time it's something like `map.custommode ?
map.customwidth : 20` and `map.custommode ? map.customheight : 20` which
is not ideal because of copy-pasting.
Furthermore, even `map.customwidth` and `map.customheight` are just
duplicates of `cl.mapwidth` and `cl.mapheight`, which are only set in
`customlevelclass::generatecustomminimap`. This is a bit annoying if you
want to, say, add checks that depend on the width and height of the
custom map in `mapclass::initcustommapdata`, but `map.customwidth` and
`map.customheight` are out of date because `generatecustomminimap`
hasn't been called yet. And doing the ternary there requires a `#ifndef
NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS` to reference `cl.mapwidth` and `cl.mapheight` which is
just awful.
So I'm axing `map.customwidth` and `map.customheight`, and I'm axing all
the ternaries that are duplicating the source of truth in
`MapRenderData`. Instead, there will just be one function to call for
the width and height, `mapclass::getwidth` and `mapclass::getheight`,
and everyone can simply call those without needing to do ternaries or
duplication.
The existing code was allergic to putting spaces between tokens, and had
some minor code duplication that I took the time to clean up as well.
The logic should be easier to follow now that the for-loops are no
longer duplicated for each of the map zoom levels.
I tested this by temporarily disabling map fog entirely and going
through a couple different custom levels to compare their minimap with
the existing code. These were A New Dimension and 333333 for 1x, Golden
Spiral and VVVV 4k for 2x, and VVVVVV is NP-Hard for 4x. There was no
difference in the output, not even a single pixel.
This adds color support to the output of the console on Windows. Now if
you're using Windows 10 build 1511 or later (I think it's build 1511
anyway; they added more VT sequence support in later versions), you will
see colors by default. This isn't due to Windows helping in any way;
this commit has to specifically enable it with SetConsoleMode() because
by default, Windows won't enable color support unless we enable it. (Or
if it's enabled in the registry, but having to go through the registry
to enable basic shit like that is completely fucking stupid.)
I tested this in my Windows 10 virtual machine and it's completely
working.
Previously, we were using `color_enabled` to mean both that the color
was supported and that it was enabled by the user (which it is enabled
by default). But this logic doesn't work well if the color check
function is called again and ends up enabling color after the user
disabled it. To fix this, just separate the two so the user controls one
`color_supported` variable and the `color_enabled` variable is separate.
Check both of them in order to print color, of course.
This adds the `-console` command-line option (for Win32 only) so the
game can spawn an attached console window which will contain all console
output.
This is to make it easier for people to debug on Windows systems.
Otherwise, the only way to get console output would be to either compile
the application as a console app (i.e. switch the subsystem to console)
- which is undesirable for regular users as this makes it so a console
is always spawned even when unwanted - or launch the game with shell
arguments that make it so output is redirected to a file.
As a result, color checking support is factored out of vlog_init() into
its own function, even though we don't support colors on Windows.
Using SDL_GetTicks() to seed the Gravitron RNG caused many
reproducibility issues while syncing https://tasvideos.org/7575S . To
fix this, add a frame counter, which is a number that is incremented
every frame and never resets, and use it instead.
If someone needs to switch back to SDL_GetTicks() for old TASes, then
provide the -seed-use-sdl-getticks command-line option for them.
In its previous location, it would only print the value of `s` after it
had been mutated by `splitmix32` four times, and it doesn't get used
after that, so the print isn't very useful.
Mixing code and declarations here is fine because starting from a few
months ago, we compile with C99 and if we ever need to compile with C90
then it's trivial to add braces surrounding the declarations.
If a music track has a loop comment with a negative value, ignore all
comments of the track. This is just to prevent any weirdness from
happening as it's safer to just let the track loop improperly. Also log
to the console to let users know.
This is the same thing that SDL_mixer does now:
libsdl-org/SDL_mixer@e819489459
This commit happened as a result of discussion on the VVVVVV Discord
server about SDL_mixer 2.0.4 behavior with weird loop comment values
(e.g. octal input with leading zeroes). This is simply updating the code
to be in line with what newer versions of SDL_mixer do.
Just in case it happens. Comments aren't really important to the game
(at worst a track will just loop in the wrong place) so it's fine to
carry on here and ignore all comments if this happens.
This does the following:
- Const-qualify variables if they are not modified
- Place each statement onto their own separate lines
- Place the asterisk with the type instead of the variable name
- Combine declarations and initializations where possible
They weren't ever being used, and nobody really ever uses the return
value from the printf family of functions anyway. They return how many
bytes were actually printed, but if it's less than you expected then
there's not much you can really do about them. Also the vlog_* functions
were computing them inaccurately because I only set the return value to
the return value of vprintf when there's other print functions being
called, but regardless there's no reason to have a return value here
anyway.
The hilariously-named WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN slims down the number of
header files included in the already-massive `windows.h`. I know people
say Moore's law and precompiled headers and all that (well, we don't use
precompiled headers), but they kinda forgot about virtual machines, and
there's no reason not to define this and slim down the number of headers
anyway.
This started when I saw the warning that GetVersionExW was deprecated,
then looked it up and found StackOverflow answers saying that you should
basically detect the feature directly instead of checking the version,
which makes sense to me. Then I found that I could probably detect color
support by using GetConsoleMode and GetStdHandle. But then I asked
myself what the point was unless you could get color output directly in
the terminal, which it seems like you really can't if your app is a GUI
app. (I have no idea why Windows makes this pointless distinction
between console and GUI apps...)
I tested Command Prompt, PowerShell, Windows Terminal (which is just
PowerShell again), and even Git Bash (MINGW64), but none of them will
ever give the console output of a GUI app such as VVVVVV. The closest I
got is that Git Bash doesn't seem to detach the process, but it will
simply produce no output.
At this point I feel like it's not worth it keeping this code around if
it didn't even work in the first place, so I'm removing it. People can
always enable color by using the -forcecolor command-line argument
anyway.
I'm fine with putting the release version in a header file, thus
necessitating the need to recompile every file that includes it if it's
changed, simply because it's not supposed to be changed that often.
The SDL_arraysize is necessary because sometimes we'll have subreleases
(e.g. 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3), and who knows, maybe we'll get to 2.10
someday.
This reworks how the commit hash and date are compiled so that if
they're changed (and they're changed often), only one source file needs
to be recompiled in order to update it everywhere in the game, no matter
how many source files use the hash or date.
The commit hash and date are now declared in InterimVersion.h (and they
need `extern "C"` guards because otherwise it results in a link fail on
MSVC because MSVC is stupid).
To do this, what now happens is that upon every rebuild,
InterimVersion.in.c is processed to create InterimVersion.out.c, then
InterimVersion.out.c is compiled into its own static library that is
then linked with VVVVVV.
(Why didn't I just simply add it to the list of VVVVVV source files?
Well, doing it _now_ does nothing because at that point the horse is
already out of the barn, and the VVVVVV executable has already been
declared, so I can't modify its sources. And I can't do it before
either, because we depend on the VVVVVV executable existing to do the
interim version logic. I could probably work around this by cleverly
moving around lines, but that'd separate related logic from each other.)
And yes, the naming convention has changed. Not only did I rename
Version to InterimVersion (to clearly differentiate it from
ReleaseVersion, which I'll be adding later), I also named the files
InterimVersion.in.c and InterimVersion.out.c instead of
InterimVersion.c.in and InterimVersion.c.out. I needed to put the file
extension on the end because otherwise CMake wouldn't recognize what
kind of language it is, and I mean like yeah duh of course it doesn't,
my text editor doesn't recognize it either.
This fixes a regression where the game ignored the amount of frames you
held down a direction if you released the direction during death.
Previously, the game only checked the amount of frames you held down a
direction if you were able to control the player. If you weren't able to
control the player (e.g. during the death animation), then the number of
frames it counted didn't change. This also meant that if you were
holding a direction before you died, but released it during death, the
game wouldn't zero out the number of frames you held it.
This behavior was useful because it meant you could keep the
deceleration momentum that you normally get by holding a direction for 5
frames just by holding a direction for less than 5 frames after dying,
if you had the rest of the hold frames before you died. This behavior is
what's used in https://tasvideos.org/7575S at around frame 7200.
Unfortunately, #609 made it so that the direction hold processing
happened even if the player didn't have control, meaning that it would
zero the hold frames during the death animation in the TAS, thus
desyncing it when it performed the maneuver it relied on the extra
momentum for after Viridian respawns.
The solution here is to just add the check back in again.
Fixes#887.
While fixing #885, I noticed that I had a bunch of
`special/stdin.vvvvvv` entries saved in my `levelstats.vvv`. At once I
knew that the dumb `special/stdin` hack that actually checks if the
filename passed is `special/stdin` was to blame.
STDIN playtesting was first merged, I knew in the back of my mind that
it was a bit of a dumb hack, but I didn't know it would cause
consequences like showing up in `levelstats.vvv`. For now, I'll just
have to patch it, but hopefully in the future I'll remove the dumb hack
entirely. Commenting both instances of the dumb hack with instructions
to grep for it should help maintainers out.
This is useful to investigate any TAS desync/reproducibility issues
relating to RNG, because even though I specifically separated the
Gravitron RNG away from other RNG and made it not dependent on the
system libc rand() function, there's still apparently some differences
in RNG execution between systems, resulting in TASVideos submission 7575
( https://tasvideos.org/7575S ) not syncing for everyone except the
author.
It seems that SDL_GetTicks(), which is used to seed the xoshiro RNG, is
not reliably consistent between systems, so in the future I will
probably replace it with a counter that is incremented each frame
starting from game startup, which is probably better.
This fixes the following warnings:

| ^
These warnings are because the non-static data members (i.e. data
members that will be different for each instance of a class) are being
initialized at the same time as they're being declared, which means
that's what their value will be when the class instance is initialized.
However, this is only a C++11 feature, and we don't use C++11. Luckily,
we don't need to do this, and this is in fact redundant because we
already zero out the class instance in its constructor using
SDL_zerop(). Therefore, we should remove these initializers to fix
compliance with C++03.
Instead, for any number that isn't in the list of number words, just
return the regular Arabic numerical representation (i.e. just convert it
to string). It's better than having "Lots" or "???", neither of which
really tell you what the number actually is.
As already described in cc61194bed, as
well as Ved's commits from the last almost two weeks, starting VVVVVV
from Ved for playtesting could be made a lot faster by "preloading" the
game - letting it do all its asset loading in the background without
creating a window - and then waiting until the level is passed in via
stdin. There's only one problem left with this approach: VVVVVV
currently expects the starting position to be passed via command line
arguments, which isn't known yet at the time we'd like to start VVVVVV.
Therefore, this commit allows passing the starting position via the
level XML, instead of via arguments.
The extra XML looks like this, and is added next to the <Data> tag:
<Playtest>
<playx>214</playx>
<playy>112</playy>
<playrx>100</playrx>
<playry>100</playry>
<playgc>0</playgc>
<playmusic>4</playmusic>
</Playtest>
This is handled similarly to how the equivalent arguments are handled:
when the level metadata is loaded for CLI playtesting, we also try to
find this tag, and if it exists, it sets the same variables that the
arguments would have otherwise set.
There's always been a bit of an inconsistency in the game where enabling
invincibility would make spikes so solid that enemies and moving
platforms would treat spikes as solid and bounces off of them.
This fixes that by adding an `invincible` parameter to collision
functions, so the functions will only treat spikes as solid if that
parameter is true, and the parameter passed will only be true if it's
called for an entity that is a humanoid and invincibility mode is
enabled.
Also, for clarity, `spikecollide` is renamed to `towerspikecollide`
because it's only used for tower spikes. And as a small optimization,
`checktowerspikes` returns early if invincibility mode is enabled.
This is a minor optimization to streamline the experience of Ved
playtesting. Previously, the user would have to wait for all the assets
to load when launching playtesting (most of the time, I suspect, is
taken up by loading music from a vvvvvvmusic blob). With this
optimization, however, the game can be launched in the background and
its assets can be loaded, while it blocks on STDIN input. During this
time, the user in Ved will be choosing where to start playtesting. After
Ved provides STDIN input, then the window will be created and appears
instantaneously.
This also fixes a related issue in which providing an invalid
playtesting level name would result in a brief window flash that gets
instantly destroyed. With this, if the level is invalid then no window
is ever shown at all.
Probably should have done this earlier in 2.3, but better late than
never.
This makes it easier for third-party programs like Ved to detect what
version of the game this is.
Slightly quick-n-dirty for now, I'll de-duplicate the version number
later, and add commit hash and date if applicable.
Without this, entering in-game and opening the map with missing graphics
will result in a segfault. This is because even if the image doesn't
exist, it's still pushed into the `images` std::vector as a NULL
pointer. And it segfaults because we dereference it (to get things like
their width and height). In contrast, passing them to SDL is fine
because SDL always checks for NULL first.
There are three different places where we call PHYSFS_openRead. This
commit makes sure all of them print a statement upon failure along with
the PhysFS reason for failure, and assigns the log level of each print
as so:
- FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory: Debug print (previously no
print existed in the first place), because some files (such as
font.txt) may or may not be needed, but if it isn't then no need to
print and worry the user. The game will error anyway if a critical
file like a graphics file is missing.
- FILESYSTEM_loadBinaryBlob: Debug print (previously info print),
because sometimes it's not needed, such as mmmmmm.vvv. I remember one
user being worried that the game printed "Unable to open file
mmmmmm.vvv" when it's not critical unlike vvvvvvmusic.vvv (and that
file is assumed to exist if data.zip exists anyways). Though maybe we
should move to loose-leaf files to save on memory usage (and so we
don't have to use special tools to modify a binary blob)...
- FILESYSTEM_loadZip: Error print. If we're calling this function, we
really do expect the zip to be loaded, and if it fails because we
can't open the file in the first place, then it would be good to know
why.
This commit adds a new string formatting system to replace uses of
`SDL_snprintf` and string concatenation.
Making our own string formatting system has been briefly discussed
during the review of the localization branch, and on the VVVVVV
Discord. It's inspired by Python's format strings, but simpler.
This is primarily to benefit localization - strings will be easier to
understand (`Now using %s Tileset` → `Now using {area} Tileset`,
`"%s remain"` → `"{n_crewmates|wordy} remain"`), translators can change
the word order for their language's grammar (`%1$s` is a POSIX
extension), and this system is also less error-prone (making the format
string not align with the actual arguments won't result in a crash or
UB).
It also integrates our needs better - particularly the "wordy" numbers
without having to have a `help.number_words(n).c_str()` at the
callsite, translators can opt in and out of wordy numbers per string,
and this should also make it easier to solve #859.
This commit adds the formatting system itself, and changes one
`SDL_snprintf` in the code to use it as a small demo (the rest should
probably be done in the localization branch to avoid more unneeded
work).
The system is described in full detail in VFormat.h and in the pull
request description.
This removes the magic numbers previously used for controlling the fade
mode, which are really not readable at all unless you already know what
they mean.

5: FADE_FADING_IN
There is also the macro FADEMODE_IS_FADING, which indicates when the
intention is to only check if the game is fading right now, which wasn't
clearly conveyed previously.
I also took the opportunity to clean up the style of any lines I
touched. This included rewriting if-else chains into case-switches,
turning one-liner if-then statements into proper blocks, fixing up
comments, and even commenting the `fademode == FADE_NONE` on the tower
spike checks (which, it was previously undocumented why that check was
there, but I think I know why it's there).
As for type safety, we already get some by transforming the variable
types into the enum. Assignment is prohibited without a cast. But,
apparently, comparison is perfectly legal and won't even give so much as
a warning. To work around this and make absolutely sure I made all
existing comparisons now use the enum, I temporarily changed it to be an
`enum class`, which is a C++11 feature that makes it so all comparisons
are illegal. Unfortunately, it scopes them in a namespace with the same
name as a class, so I had to temporarily define macros to make sure my
existing code worked. I also had to temporarily up the standard in
CMakeLists.txt to get it to compile. But after all that was done, I
found the rest of the places where a comparison to an integer was used,
and fixed them.
Previously, it was copy-pasted and slightly different, when really, they
ought to both be the exact same code.
It kind of pains me that the room name, glitch name, and hidden name
don't own their own memory, but, that's to be addressed later.
What's a bit annoying is that the `temp` variable used in
`teleporterrender` also ends up being reused later in the function. In
this case, I opted to just redeclare them when they are used anyway, to
make it clearer.
Apart from `teleporterrender` no longer calling `map.area` or caring
about `map.custommode`, it also no longer cares about
`graphics.fademode` being 0. I could never actually get this condition
to be false in practice, and I have absolutely no idea why it's there.
I'm guessing it could be some weird edge case rendering issue if the
screen is fully black? But I wouldn't know how to trigger that, and
anyway it should probably be fixed elsewhere. So I'm just going to
remove that conditional.
It's quite rare, though possible, that during finalstretch you could see
a glitchy tileset that looked like this:
https://i.imgur.com/V7cYKDW.png
This happened because final_mapcol, the variable that controls which
color of finalstretch is rendered, could end up being 7. Normally, it's
in the range of 1..6, which perfectly correlates with the Warp Zone
tilesets in tiles2.png, and the higher the number the farther back in
the tileset it goes from the gray Warp Zone tileset. However, if it's 7,
then it'll start grabbing tiles from the Ship plus some unused blank
tiles, which does not look pretty in the slightest.
This happened because it's possible, though exceedingly unlikely, that
fRandom(), a function which returns a float between 0..1, could return
exactly 1. fRandom() calls rand(), which returns a result between 0 and
RAND_MAX, and divides it by RAND_MAX. This value is implementation
dependent, but required to be at least 32767, and on most systems is
2147483647. Even taking the value of 32767, that means there's a 0.003%
chance that you could get this glitchy tileset when the game cycled the
color in finalstretch. But of course, playing the game for long periods
of time will eventually increase this chance - cycling the color 1,000
times (around 17 minutes of playing) will result in the chance being 3%.
Then as the calculations in the finalstretch color cycling logic calls
fRandom(), then multiplies by 6 and adds 1, it was possible for
fRandom() to return exactly 1, then have
6 added to it, resulting in final_mapcol being 7.
To fix this, just decrement the multiplication by fRandom() to multiply
by 5 instead of 6. Now the only possible numbers that calculation can
produce would be 1..6.
This fixes a limitation where the level filename had to be the exact
same name as the name of the zip, because the game used the name of the
level to identify the zip of which to load assets, and this also made it
impossible to use assets for more than one level in a zip.
Instead, we just look up where the level came from, so we can always
load its assets regardless of its filename.
Additionally, the zip structure checks can go away too, simplifying the
code further.
This WOULD be a huge breaking change, if it weren't for the fact that no
one uses them. Which is why I'm removing them, to simplify the code.
I asked on the VVVVVV Discord whether anyone used them or was even aware
of them and basically the answer was no. I go on Distractionware and no
one uses them. And why would they, when they'd have to distribute the
level .vvvvvv file separately? Better to just distribute everything in
one zip. And it's quite a bit obscure that you have to suffix the file
with .data.zip anyway.
During review of #869, I looked at this part of the codebase again. I
have no idea how or why, but during the course of 2.4 this whole area
just became a mess.
The issues I fixed (in no particular order):
- Copy-pasting the code that loads from the binary blobs
- Making sure SDL_RWFromConstMem is used over SDL_RWFromMem wherever
possible
- Adding checks to make sure the index from the binary blob is valid
(it's possible it could not exist)
- Adding checks to make sure we gracefully handle
SDL_RWFromConstMem/PHYSFSRWOPS_openRead returning NULL
- Moving the pointer asterisk to the type instead of the name :)
This isn't necessary, but it does silence these annoying logs if you
pass an invalid argument or don't have data.zip:
[ERROR] Could not get window size: Invalid renderer
[WARN] Stats not loaded! Not writing unlock.vvv.
[ERROR] Could not get window size: Invalid renderer
[WARN] Settings not loaded! Not writing settings.vvv.
To do this, I've added FILESYSTEM_isInit().
We are no longer copy-pasting LodePNG source files directly.
As we can't rename lodepng.cpp to lodepng.c in the submodule itself, we
need to make a wrapper file, lodepng_wrapper.c, that #includes
lodepng.cpp, but gets compiled as C.
This prevents writing to unlock.vvv or settings.vvv if the game hasn't
made an attempt to load them yet. Otherwise, if the game aborted via
VVV_exit() because of, say, failure to parse a graphics file, it would
overwrite perfectly existing valid save data since it hasn't loaded it
yet.
Fixes#870.
Another cause of #870 is d0ffafe117, as a
bisect tells me. What that commit did is remove screenbuffer as a
pointer, since it's a statically-allocated object that _should_ always
exist, and it removed the `screenbuffer == NULL` guards in savestats()
and savesettings(). Unfortunately, those guards did something very
important - namely, they prevented writing to the save files when the
filesystem wasn't initialized. But that wasn't made clear, because it
seemed like the point of those guards was to prevent dereferencing NULL.
So instead, explicitly make it clear that
FILESYSTEM_saveTiXml2Document() needs to fail if the filesystem isn't
initialized. I've done this by adding an isInit bool to
FileSystemUtils.cpp.
Issue #870 showed one of the problems that this game has, namely that it
only sometimes checks SDL return values, and did not do so in this case.
Part of the cause of #870 is that Screen::GetWindowSize does not check
the return value of SDL_GetRendererOutputSize, so when that function
fails (as in the case where m_renderer is NULL and does not exist), it
does not initialize the out values, so it ends up writing uninitialized
values to the save files.
We need to make sure every function's return value is checked, not just
SDL functions, but that will have to be done later.
While reviewing #272, I noticed that the PR was passing these two
arguments through a helper function, even though they really shouldn't
ever change. To obviate the need to pass these through, I'm making them
global variables.
pathSep is just a string literal from PhysFS, while basePath is a whole
complicated calculation from SDL and needs to be freed. It will be freed
upon filesystem deinit (as is done with PhysFS and the STDIN buffer).
Additionally the logic in FILESYSTEM_init is simplified by no longer
needing to keep a retval variable or use gotos to free basePath in
there.
This lets any script name use capitals and spaces all they want, while
still being able to jump to them via iftrinkets() or similar.
The issue is that whenever tokenize() is ran, all spaces are stripped
and every argument is lowercased before being put into `words`. So, the
solution here is to create a raw_words array that doesn't perform space
stripping or lowercasing, and to refer to that whenever there's a script
command that loads a script. We keep the lowercasing and space removal
elsewhere to be more forgiving to newcomers.
This is technically a forwards compatibility break, but it's only a
minor one, and all levels that utilize it can still be easily modified
to work on older versions anyway.
As reported by Dav999, Victoria and Vermilion's trophy colors are
swapped again in 2.4. He points to
37b7615b71, the commit where I fixed the
color masks of every single surface to always be RGB or RGBA.
It sounded plausible to me, because it did have to do with colors, after
all. However, it didn't make sense to me, because I was like, I didn't
touch the trophy colors at all after I originally fixed them.
After I ruled out the RGBf() function as a confounder, I decided to see
whether intentionally reversing the color order in RGBf() to be BGR
would do anything, and to my surprise it actually swapped the colors
back around and it didn't actually look bad.
And then I realized: Swapping the trophy colors between RGB and BGR
ordering results in similar colors that still look good, but are simply
wrong, but not so wrong that they take on a color that no crewmate uses,
so it'd appear as if the crewmates were swapped, when in reality the
only thing that was swapped was actually the color order of the colors.
Trying to fix this by swapping the colors again, I actively confused
colors 33 and 35 (Vermilion and Victoria) with colors 32 and 34
(Vitellary and Viridian), so I was confused when Vermilion and Victoria
weren't swapping. Then as a debugging step, I only changed 34 to 32
without swapping 32 as well, and then finally noticed that I was
swapping Vitellary and Viridian, because there were now two Vitellarys.
And then I was reminded that Vitellary and Viridian were also wrongly
swapped since 2.0 as well.
And so then I finally realized: The original comments accompanying the
colors were correct after all. The only problem was that they were fed
into a function, RGBf(), that read the colors backwards, because the
codebase habitually changed the color order on a whim and it was really
hard to reason out which color order should be used at a given time, so
it ended up reading RGB colors as BGR, while it looked like it was
passing them through as-is.
So what happened was that in the first place, RGBf() was swapping RGB to
BGR. Then I came and swapped Vermilion and Victoria, and Vitellary and
Viridian around. Then later I fixed all the color masks, so RGBf()
stopped swapping RGB and BGR around. But then this ended up swapping the
colors of Vermilion and Victoria, and Vitellary and Viridian once again!
Therefore, swapping Vermilion and Victoria, and Vitellary and Viridian
was incorrect. Or at least, not the fix to the root cause. The root
cause would be to swap the colors in RGBf(), but this would be sort of
confusing to reason about - at least if I didn't bother to just type the
RGB values into an image editor. But that doesn't fix the real issue,
which is that the game kept swapping RGB and BGR around in every corner
of the codebase.
I further confirmed that there was no more RGB or BGR swapping by
deleting the plus-one-divide-by-three transformation in RGBf() and
seeing if the colors looked okay. Now with the colors being brighter, I
could see that passing it straight through looked fine, but
intentionally reversing it to be BGR resulted in colors that at a
distance looked okay, but were either washed out or too bright. At least
finally I could use my 8 years of playing this game for something.
So in conclusion, actually, 37b7615b71
("Fix surface color masks") was the real fix, and
d271907f8c ("Fix Secret Lab Time Trial
trophies having wrong colors") was the real regression. It's just that
the regression came first, but it wasn't really a regression until I did
the other fix, so the fix isn't the regression, the regression is...
this is hurting my brain. Or the real regression was the friends we made
along the way, or something like that.
This is the most trivial bug ever caused by the technical debt of those
god-awful reversed color masks.
---
This reverts commit d271907f8c.
Fixes#862.
In hindsight, the FAudio pointer will likely be in SoundTrack since we will
want to keep the mastering voice closer to the sounds and their source voice
arrays, while the MusicTrack will likely just be one source voice that gets
PCM from different streams.
This looks redundant but will actually help in the transition to FAudio; we
mostly want to keep the game logic the same while reimplementing the current
mixer, weirdness and all. Once that's done and confirmed to be stable and
consistent we can start cutting out the workarounds and quirks.
This meant making the track vectors static, but that's kind of what we do with musicclass anyway?
In any case, this will make the transition to FAudio MUCH less invasive.
This is quite simple. Just use a function pointer that switches out
which function we're going to use.
...Or not. C++ syntax makes this a bit awful since the function is a
member of a class. Did I mention how much I don't like C++?
Issue #849 suggested making integer be the default on Big Picture and
Steam Deck, but after thinking about it more, I think it's better and
more simple to just default to integer mode in general.
Reason being that people in Big Picture shouldn't expect the picture to
look different if they're out of Big Picture but still in fullscreen, or
have the picture look different in fullscreen depending on if they
launched the game for the first time in Big Picture or not. And besides,
the less lines of code, the better. So I'm just making integer mode the
default.
This enum is to just make each mode be readable, instead of mysterious
0/1/2 values. It's not a strictly-typed enum because we still have to
serialize it as ints in the XML, but it's better than just leaving them
as ints.
This also adds a NUM_SCALING_MODES enum, so we don't have to hardcode
that 3 when cycling scaling modes anymore.
This is mainly to make sure the game is definitely set to fullscreen in
Big Picture and on the Steam Deck, and to also remove windowed options
that wouldn't make sense if you're not on a desktop (toggling
fullscreen, resize to nearest). Those options would also be removed on
console and mobile too.
There's a bit of an annoying bug where if you launch the game in forced
fullscreen mode, but then exit and relaunch in normal mode, your game
will have fullscreen window sizes but it won't be fullscreen. This is
because forced fullscreen mode tries to preserve your non-forced
fullscreen setting, but due to the way window sizes are stored and
queried, it can't preserve the non-forced window size. This is a bit
difficult to work around, so I'm just putting in a FIXME here because we
can fix it later and I'd rather have a slightly buggy forced fullscreen
mode than not have one at all.
Closes#849.
Here's my notes on all the existing functions and what kind of time
formats they output:
- Game::giventimestring(int hrs, int min, int sec)
H:MM:SS
MM:SS
- Game::timestring()
// uses game.hours/minutes/seconds
H:MM:SS
MM:SS
- Game::partimestring()
// uses game.timetrialpar (seconds)
MM:SS
- Game::resulttimestring()
// uses game.timetrialresulttime (sec) + timetrialresultframes (1/30s)
MM:SS.CC
- Game::timetstring(int t)
// t = seconds
MM:SS
- Game::timestringcenti(char* buffer, const size_t buffer_size)
// uses game.hours/minutes/seconds/frames
H:MM:SS.CC
MM:SS.CC
- UtilityClass::timestring(int t)
// t = frames, 30 frames = 1 second
S:CC
M:SS:CC
This is kind of a mess, and there's a lot of functions that do the same
thing except using different variables. For localization, I also want
translators to be able to localize all these time formats - many
languages use the decimal comma instead of the decimal point (12:34,56)
maybe some languages really prefer something like 1時02分11秒44瞬...
Which I don't know to be correct, but it's good to be prepared for it
and not restrict translators arbitrarily to only changing ":" and "."
when we can start making the system better in the first place.
I added a new function, UtilityClass::format_time. This is the place
where all time formats come together, given the number of seconds and
optionally frames. I have simplified the above-mentioned functions
somewhat, but I haven't given them a complete refactor or renaming -
I mainly made sure that they all use the same backend so I can make the
formats consistent and properly localizable.
(And before we start shoving more temporary char buffers everywhere
just to get rid of the std::string's, maybe we need to think of a
globally used working buffer of size SCREEN_WIDTH_CHARS+1, as a
register of sorts, for when any line of text needs to be made or
processed, then printed, and then goes unused. Maybe help.textrow,
or something like that.)
As for this commit, the available time formats are now more consistent
and changed a little in some places. Leading zeroes for the first unit
are now no longer included, time trial results and the Super Gravitron
can now display hours when they went to 60 minutes before, and we now
always use .CC instead of :CC. These are the formats:
- H:MM:SS
- H:MM:SS.CC
- M:SS
- M:SS.CC
- S.CC (only used when always_minutes=false, for the Gravitrons)
Here's what changes to the current functions:
- Game::partimestring() is removed - it was used in two places, and
could be replaced by game.timetstring(game.timetrialpar)
- Game::giventimestring(h,m,s) and Game::timestring() are now wrappers
for the other functions
- The four remaining functions (Game::resulttimestring(),
Game::timetstring(t), Game::timestringcenti(buffer, buffer_size)
and UtilityClass::timestring(t)) are now wrappers for the "central
function", UtilityClass::format_time.
- UtilityClass::twodigits(int t) is now unused so it's also removed.
- I also added int UtilityClass::hms_to_seconds(int h, int m, int s)
This de-duplicates the code, simplifying the codebase and reducing the
number of code paths that needs to be maintained. It also adds
robustness checks to LoadIcon that weren't there before (checking that
loading the file succeeded and that decoding the file also succeeded).
Now, you might think that loading the image with alpha will change
things in some way. But actually, I tested it, and I'm pretty sure it
doesn't. Since my window manager, i3, doesn't display icons, I've had to
resort to this hacky multi-liner
( https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/48866 ) to dump the icon to a PAM
file. I don't know what a PAM file is and all my various attempts to
convert it into something readable failed. But what I did instead was
just grab the icon of the game before this commit (on 2.3, just to be
extra sure), and `diff`ed it with the grabbed icon now, and they end up
being the exact same file. So there's literally no difference.
The only other consideration is that LoadImage needs to be exported,
since it's implemented in GraphicsResources.cpp. I just opted to
forward-declare it right before LoadIcon in Screen.cpp, since it's
really the only other time it's used. No need to create a new header
file for it or anything.
This is just to simplify the function. I really don't see any point in
taking away the alpha for some images, other than to disappoint people
who mod the game assets. It just complicates loading the image with no
real gain. To reduce maintenance costs, let's remove this alternate code
path.
Also it's a default argument and I don't like default arguments.
This argument... doesn't do anything.
First off, setting it to true explicitly enables blending on the
resulting surface, which is kind of the exact opposite of the variable
name and is misleading to say the least? And secondly, SDL surfaces have
blending enabled by default anyways, so it still doesn't even do
anything.
It's also a default argument, and I'm not one to shy away from removing
such default arguments.
This includes:
- Removing the constructor in favor of actually being able to see that
there's an actual function called being made initializing the struct
- Removing the use of a reference in Screen::init() in favor of using a
pointer
- Adding the struct qualifier everywhere (it's not much typing),
although technically you could typedef it in C, but I'd rather much
not typedef just to remove a tag qualifier
I know earlier I removed the gameScreen extern in favor of using
screenbuffer, but that was only to be consistent. After further
consideration, I have found that it's actually really stupid.
There's no reason to be accessing it through screenbuffer, and it's
probably an artifact of 2.0-2.2 passing stack-allocated otherwise-global
classes everywhere through function arguments. Also, it leads to stupid
bugs where screenbuffer could potentially be NULL, which has already
resulted in various annoying crashes in the past. Although those could
be fixed by simply initializing screenbuffer at the very top of main(),
but, why not just scrap the whole thing anyway?
So that's what I'm doing.
As a nice side effect, I've removed the transitive include of Screen.h
from Graphics.h. This could've been done already since it only includes
it for the pointer anyway, but it's still good to do it now.
In aa7b63fa5f, I didn't notice that the
result was implicitly being converted to int by the min/max from before.
I instead added it to the existing char, but that resulted in a char
overflow (it's unsigned, so thankfully not undefined behavior).
But of course the entire point of that commit is to make it explicitly
clear when you are converting between types, intentionally or otherwise,
in min/max comparisons. So despite causing a regression (which I have
now fixed), at least it did its job.
It's been long overdue that this variable be named properly. 2.2 added
integer scaling mode (thanks Ethan), 2.3 renamed it to scaling mode. Now
2.4 will properly call it what it is so people won't be confused by it.
The ScreenSettings struct member is renamed from stretch to scalingMode
along with the Screen class member being renamed, as well as the
toggleStretchMode function being renamed to toggleScalingMode as well.
Unfortunately, due to compatibility, we can't change the <stretch> XML
tag.
VVV_min/max are functions that only operate on ints, and SDL_min/max are
macros that operate on any type but double-evaluate everything.
I know I more-or-less said earlier that SDL_min/max were dumb but I've
changed my mind and think it's better to use them, taking care to make
sure you don't double-evaluate, rather than trying to generate your own
litany of functions with either your own hand-rolled generation macros,
C++ templates, C11 generics, or GCC extensions (that last one you'd
technically use in a macro but it doesn't really matter), all of which
have more downsides than just not double-evaluating.
And the upside of not double-evaluating is that you're disencouraged
from having really complicated single-line min/max expressions and
encouraged to precompute the values beforehand anyway so the final
min/max is more readable. And furthermore you'll notice when you
yourself end up doing double-evaluations anyway. I removed a couple
instances of Graphics::len() being double-evaluated in this commit (as
well as cleaned up some other min/max-using code). Although the only
downside to those double-evaluations was unnecessary computation,
rather than checking the wrong result or having multiple side effects,
thankfully, it's still good to minimize double-evaluations where
possible.
The reason why the wall stuck flipping behavior happened in the first
place was because the code went like this:
if (jumppressed)
{
if (onground && gravitycontrol == 0)
{
gravitycontrol = 1;
}
if (onroof && gravitycontrol == 1)
{
gravitycontrol = 0;
}
}
Basically, if you were both on ground and on a roof (i.e. stuck in a
wall), you would flip, but then due to code order and the fact that the
statement is not connected to the previous one, you would immediately
unflip afterwards. But if you were already flipped then the only path
that can be taken is to unflip you, since it's the statement that
appears last.
52fceb3f69 replaces the onground/onroof
conditionals with any_onground/any_onroof, so any player entity would
allow you to flip. But otherwise the code is the same. So is that the
problem?
No; tracing it through with GDB reveals that when you flip,
gravitycontrol is being set to 1, but never being set to 0. And it turns
out that's because any_onroof is not getting set. And that happens
because of another thing that 52fceb3f69
did - which was to set any_onground/any_onroof to true if indeed any
player entity was on ground or on a roof.
Unfortunately, the way Leo did it was to make the two statements
mutually exclusive - an 'if'-'else if' instead of two separate
statements. So a single entity could not mark both any_onground and
any_onroof as true (and the majority of the time, you will be a single
entity).
Thus, the solution is to just drop that 'else'.
Fixes#855.
I noticed when going frame-by-frame in Vertigo that sometimes the
wrapping enemies at the top sometimes just "popped" in frame. This is
because the sprite warp code only draws the warping sprite of sprites at
the bottom of the screen if they're below y=210. However, the warp point
starts at y=232, and warp sprites can be at most 32x32, which is exactly
the case with the Vertigo sprites, which are exactly 32x32. So the warp
code should start warping sprites if they're below y=200 (232 - 32)
instead.
Horizontal warping also has this problem; it warps at x=320 and
starts drawing warp sprites at x=300, even though it should start
drawing at x=288 (320 - 32). I've gone ahead and fixed that as well.
This is just in case the background gets changed by a custom level or
something to be something that would otherwise result in bad contrast.
Also if it needs to go outside the box for some reason. And I just like
the look of the outline.
Whew, look at all those copy-pasted print statements!
Doing this because of the in-game timer feature. The text would
otherwise clash harshly with the timer otherwise. Even with the outline
it still clashes, but at least there's an outline so it's not as harsh.
This adds centiseconds to the in-game timer, as well as the time trial
timer.
This is to aid speedrun moderators in determining when exactly a run was
completed, which they can't easily do if the timer only has a precision
up to a second.
The problem was that it also needed to check that game.swnmode was true,
in addition to game.swngame being 1, to actually check that the Super
Gravitron was being played.
Currently, all game-gamestate variables are just ints. This is not
particularly type-safe, in case the number of enums changes. To verify
that all current uses of the game-gamestate variables actually use the
enums, change them to be typed with the enum instead.
(As an aside, we should probably rename this so that it can't be
confused with Terry's state machine that has several different ways to
exploit to warp you to the credits, but that's something to do later.)
You'll note that getting in to the glitchy state of the game (the state
where you could play the game after it had hardreset() called on it)
required the player to quit to menu with ingame_titlemode set to true.
Well, quitting to menu calls hardreset(). So if hardreset() is called
when quitting, then you can no longer preserve ingame_titlemode that
way. This is a bit overkill, but I'm just taking precautions.
The game will now assert if the main menu is created while
ingame_titlemode is true, or if we attempt to load into a mode while
it's true. And if assertions are disabled then it just stops doing it
anyway.
I don't think there's any way to get a glitched ingame_titlemode again,
ever since I removed save data deletion taking you back to the main
menu. But I've had enough bugs with the fact that we more-or-less use
the same state for main menu options and in-game options, and that
glitched ingame_titlemode bug DID just happen, so I'm taking
precautions.
The next commit will add logic that more-or-less quits the whole block
if ingame_titlemode, and instead of adding another layer of indentation
I will just pull this into its own function so we can use a return
statement.
While I was testing deleting data while you were in-game, I noticed that
deleting data gave you all the "Win with less than X deaths" trophies,
even if you never got any of them before deleting data. Well, it turns
out that if you have the best game death count of 0, then you win every
trophy, and if you have the best game death count of -1 then that means
you haven't completed the game yet.
This reset was added in e3bfc79d4a, so at
least it's not in 2.3, but I only have myself to blame for making this
mistake. Whoops.
Going back to the main menu allowed for glitchiness to occur if you
deleted your save data while in in-game options. This meant you could
then load back in to the game, and then quit to the menu, then open the
options and then jump back in-game, exploring the state of the game
after hardreset() had been called on it. Which is: pretty glitchy.
For example, this meant having your room coordinates be 0,0 (which is
different from 100,100, which is the actual 0,0, thanks for the
100-indexing Terry), which caused some of the room transitions to be
disabled because room transitions were disabled if the
game.door_up/down/left/right variables were -2 or less, and they were
computed based on room coordinates, which meant some of them went
negative if you were 0,0 and not 100,100. At least this was the case
until I removed those variables for, at best, doing nothing, and at
worst, being actively harmful.
Anyways, so deleting your save data now just takes you back to the
previous menu, much like deleting custom level data does. I don't know
why deleting save data put you back on the main menu in the first place.
It's not like the options menu needed to be reloaded or anything. I
checked and this was the behavior in 2.0 as well, so it was probably
added for a dumb reason.
I considered prohibiting data deletion if you were ingame_titlemode, but
as of the moment it seems to be okay (if albeit weird, e.g. returning to
menu while in Secret Lab doesn't place your cursor on the "play"
button), and I can always add such a prohibition later if it was really
causing problems. Can't think of anything bad off of the top of my head,
though.
Btw thanks to Elomavi for discovering that you could do this glitch.
Okay, so, this is the elephant sprite, right?
https://i.imgur.com/dtS70zk.png
This is how it looks in the actual game, when you stitch all the rooms
together:
https://i.imgur.com/aztVnFT.png
Looks kind of messed-up, doesn't it?
Okay, so, in the bottom two rooms (11,9) and (12,9), the elephant is
placed at y-position -152. But in (11,8) and (12,8), it's placed at
y-position 96. This is despite the fact that -152 plus 240 is 88, not
96.
Similarly, in the left two rooms (11,8) and (11,9), the elephant is
placed at x-position 64, but in the right two rooms (12,8) and (12,9),
the elephant is placed at -264. This is despite the fact that 64 minus
320 is -256, not -264.
All of this stems from the calculations in Otherlevel.cpp using offsets
of -248 and -328 instead of -240 and -320.
So there's an 8-pixel offset that causes the elephant to be chopped off
when viewed with all the rooms stitched together. Simple enough to fix.
For the y-position fixes, I decremented the initial 8-pixel multiplier
as well, else the elephant would sink into the floor.
And this is what the elephant looks like now after stitching:

Thanks to Tzann for pointing this out.
These warnings are kinda spammy, and they make sense in principle.
vlog_error takes a format string, so passing it an arbitrary string
(even error messages from libraries) isn't a good idea.
Dvoid from Discord just reported a crash when trying to load a
custom tiles2.png that was encoded weirdly.
The problem is that we don't check the return value from LodePNG, so
LodePNG gives us a null pointer, and then
SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom doesn't check this null pointer,
which then propagates until we crash in SDL_ConvertSurfaceFormat (or
rather, one of its sub-functions), and we would probably crash somewhere
else anyway if it continued.
After properly checking LodePNG's return value, along with printing the
error, it turns out that Dvoid's custom tiles2.png had an "invalid CRC".
I don't know what this means but it sounds worrying. `feh` can read the
file correctly but it also reports a "CRC error".
SDL_GetTicks64() is a function that got added in SDL 2.0.18, which is
just an SDL_GetTicks() without a value that wraps every ~49 days,
instead wrapping after the sun explodes and kills us all. Oh sorry,
didn't mean to get existential.
For now, put this behind an SDL_VERSION_ATLEAST guard, which will be
removed when SDL 2.0.18 officially releases and we can update to it.
My latest rebase of #624 (refactoring/splitting editor.cpp) accidentally
overwrote #787 and essentially reverted it entirely. So, add it back in.
This is the same as #787 except it uses the new names, uses SDL_INLINE
to inline the function, and uses named constants.
GCC warns on casting `void*` to function pointers. This is because the C
standard makes a clear distinction between pointers to objects (`void*`)
and pointers to functions (function pointers), and does not specify
anything related to being able to cast object pointers to function
pointers.
The warning message is factually wrong, though - it states that it is
forbidden by ISO C, when in fact it is not, and is actually just
unspecified.
We can't get rid of the cast entirely, because we need the explicit cast
(the C standard _does_ mandate you need an explicit cast when converting
between object pointers and function pointers), and at the end of the
day, this is simply how `SDL_LoadFunction()` works (and more
importantly, how `dlsym()` works), so we can't get rid of it, and we
have no reason to anyways since it means we don't have a hard runtime
dependency on Steam (unlike some other games) and casting `void*` to
function pointers always behaves well on every single platform we ship
on that supports Steam.
Unfortunately, this warning seems to be a part of -Wpedantic, and
there's no way to disable this warning specifically without disabling
-Wpedantic. Luckily, I've found a workaround - just cast to `intptr_t`
before casting to the function pointer. Hopefully the compiler doesn't
get smarter in the future and this ends up breaking or anything...
* Add `setactivityposition(x,y)`, add new textbox color `transparent`
This commit adds a new internal command as a part of the visual activity zone changes I've been making.
This one allows the user to reposition the activity zone to anywhere on the screen.
In addition, this commit adds the textbox color `transparent`, which just sets r, g and b to 0.
rgb(0, 0, 0) normally creates the color black, however in VVVVVV textboxes, it makes the background
of them invisible, and makes the text the off-white color which the game uses elsewhere.
* add new variables to hardreset
* Fix unwanted text centering; offset position by 16, 4
It makes sense for `setactivityposition(0, 0)` to place the activity zone in the default position,
so the x has been offset by 16, and the y has been offset by 4.
Text was being automatically centered, meaning any activity zone which wasn't centered had misplaced text.
This has been fixed by calculating the center manually, and offsetting it by the passed value.
In previous versions, the game mistakenly checked the wrong color
channel of sprites, checking the red channel instead of the alpha
channel. I abuse this in some of my levels. Then I broke it when
refactoring masks so the game now no longer checks the red channel but
seems to check the blue channel instead. So re-fix this to the previous
bug, and preserve the previous bug with a comment explaining why.
This broke when I was refactoring things earlier, because we no longer
have a direct reference to the contents array, instead using a copied
int. But we have a settile() function anyway, so why not use it?
It is impossible to get on the quicksave screen in time trials, because
Enter is always bound to restarting time trials in a time trial, and
there's no way to open the map screen otherwise.
So, I've decided to add a fun little message in case someone somehow
manages to get to this screen in a time trial.
As is typical, the code was copy-pasted to account for Flip Mode, and
then copy-pasted again to account for custom levels, leading to four
instances of the same code.
I clean this up while also improving code style. This is where the new
FLIP macro and the fixed PrintWrap help a lot - otherwise the "Game
saved ok!" screen would look really wrong without the height
corrections.
It now looks more like the FLIP macro in Render.cpp: The y-position is
simply the height of the area the object is being flipped in, minus the
y-position itself, minus the height of the object. So:
flipped_yp = constant - yp - height
This is just a mathematical simplification of the existing statement,
which is:
flipped_yp = yp + 2 * (constant/2 - yp) - height
Using algebra, the 2 distributes into the parentheses, so
flipped_yp = yp + constant - 2 * yp - height
And the two `yp`s add together, so
flipped_yp = constant - yp - height
It's more readable this way.
Also I am using a named constant instead of a hardcoded one.
Otherwise, the text will be in the wrong position compared to normal
mode.
PrintWrap is not used in Flip Mode yet, but it will be used on the map
screen in an upcoming change of mine. The FLIP macro in Render.cpp can't
help us there, since it would need to know the height of the wrapped
text at compile time, when the height is only figured out at runtime
based off of the string (or, well, right _now_ the string _is_ known,
but we are going to merge localization for 2.4, and it's better to
future-proof...), and only PrintWrap itself can figure out the height of
the text. (Or, well, I suppose you could call it from outside the
function, but that's not very separation-of-concernsy style.)
Flipping objects in Flip Mode needs to account for the heights of those
objects (that's why flipme text boxes in Flip Mode in 2.2 were
positioned wrongly).
Also, turn it into a macro instead of an inline function.
This changes the positions of all existing de-duplicated map menu text
in Flip Mode, but it'll be more correct.
I misread SDL's code and thought that SDL's `begin_code.h` was internal
only to SDL. It turns out you get it when you include basically any
header, such as `SDL_stdinc.h`. So use it directly instead of copying it
for our own.
Between accounting for Flip Mode and custom levels, this code was
copy-pasted three times, leading to _four_ instances of one code!
Anyways, I've cleaned it up. The position of the text in Flip Mode is
going to differ by 4 pixels from how it was previously, but that really
shouldn't matter.
While dying in No Death Mode was fixed to no longer say "One trinkets"
in 2.3, if you win in No Death Mode with one trinket, the game would say
"One trinkets".
So to fix this, just slot a ternary in there. The code is already kind
of bad anyways and is going to be refactored/de-STLed in the future
regardless, so I'm not feeling too badly about shoving a ternary in
there like that.
This macro is to make it so it won't be error-prone to write the
semi-confusing `(a % b + b) % b` statement, and you can just use an easy
macro instead.
Currently, the only places a positive modulo is needed is when switching
tilesets, enemies, and warp directions in the editor, as well as when
getting a tile in the tower, since towers just repeat themselves
vertically. Towers used this weird while-loop to sort of emulate a
modulo, which isn't half-bad, but is unnecessary, and I don't think any
compiler would recognize it as a modulo. (And if it's not optimized to a
proper modulo... what happens if the number being moduloed is really,
really big?)
Believe it or not, there are still some remnants of the ActionScript
coding standards in the codebase! And one of them sometimes pops up
whenever an integer division happens.
As it so happens, it seems like division in ActionScript automatically
produces a decimal number. So to prevent that, the game sometimes
subtracts off the remainder of the number to be divided before
performing the division on it.
Thus, we get statements that look like
(a - (a % b)) / b
And probably more parentheses surrounding it too, since it would be
copy-pasted into yet another larger expression, because of course it
would.
`(a % b)` here is subtracting the remainder of `a` divided by `b`, using
the modulo operator, before it gets divided by `b`. Thus, the number
will always be divisible by `b`, so dividing it will mathematically not
produce a decimal number.
Needless to say, this is unnecessary, and very unreadable. In fact, when
I saw these for the first time, I thought they were overcomplicated
_modulos_, _not_ integer division! In C and C++, dividing an integer by
an integer will always result in an integer, so there's no need to do
all this runaround just to divide two integers.
To find all of these, I used the command
rg --pcre2 '(.+?).+?-.+?(?=\1).+?%.+?([\d]+?).+?\/.+?(?=\2)'
which basically matches expressions of the form 'a - a % b / b', where
'a' and 'b' are identical and there could be any characters in the
spaces.
There's really no need to put the y-multiplication in a lookup table.
The compiler will optimize the multiplication better than putting it in
a lookup table will.
To improve readability and to hardcode things less, the new
SCREEN_WIDTH_TILES and SCREEN_HEIGHT_TILES constant names are used, as
well as adding a new TILE_IDX macro to calculate the index of a tile in
a concatenated-rows (row-major in formal parlance) array. Also, tile
numbers are stored in a temporary variable to improve readability as
well (no more copy-pasting `contents[i + vmult[j]]` over and over
again).
There's really no reason for this simple multiplication plus division to
be in a lookup table. The compiler will optimize it faster than putting
it in a lookup table will, I'm sure.
This comment was referring to a now-deleted variable named mkdirResult
that was binary-"or"ed with all mkdir() results... except for the saves
directory. That variable was only used for save file migration, which is
now axed, so this comment is referring to nothing now.
I don't really know the answer to Ethan's question, but it doesn't
matter now.
So, it turns out freeing everything in binaryBlob::clear() without
checking for NULL results in an abort() because clear() gets called on
musicWriteBlob after it attempts to write the compiled music. It's just
that no one's using VVV_COMPILEMUSIC, so no one's ran into this.
I'm keeping VVV_COMPILEMUSIC around so in the future people can compile
music directly from the game (and probably half the existing
VVV_COMPILEMUSIC code is going to be thrown out, but oh well).
Since this refers to specific exported file data, let's make sure this
is portable. I'm not sure if we'll ever ship on systems where
sizeof(int) != 4 or sizeof(bool) != 1, but better to be safer and
future-proof than not.
This variable is only used when compiling music. Since it doesn't
actually keep track of the number of headers otherwise, ifdef it behind
VVV_COMPILEMUSIC.
2.3 introduced a regression with destroy(platforms). The problem was
that isplatform wasn't being set to false when the entity got disabled,
so if the platform was moving, it would keep moving until it hit a wall,
instead of stopping immediately.
Previously, loading STDIN used std::istreambuf_iterator and std::vector
and whatnot because... I guess it was less typing? But this isn't 1989;
we have the disk space to spare and we don't need to use fancy stuff
just to save on typing. It's not that hard to implement an array that
regrows to the nearest power of two every time.
All system header includes should come before project-specific includes
(includes specific to this game), while coming after the include
specific to the given file (if any; main.cpp doesn't have any).
These are unused.
Ethan originally added them in case Terry wanted achievement
percentages. But he didn't add them, and I don't think the achievements
are changing anytime soon, so it's safe to remove this dead code.
If the string is hardcoded, then use compile-time string literal
concatenation instead.
I don't know if compilers are smart enough to recognize when you're
passing in hardcoded strings and to concatenate them into the string
literal at compile time instead. I also don't know that if compilers are
smart enough to recognize that, that further they recognize all the
logging functions are just wrappers around printf, and so they can
perform the same optimization at those function call sites, too. So it's
better to just do the string concatenation explicitly instead.
Instead of having three separate copies of the function list, use macro
magic to make it so there is only one list that we use in three
different cases.
SDL just got an API to toggle VSync without having to tear down the
renderer ( libsdl-org/SDL#4157 ). We can remove the workaround and use
that instead. For now, we are putting it behind an ifdef until SDL
2.0.18 officially releases in November.
Fixes#831.
Constants.h will house constants like the screen size and others. But
basically only the screen size for now.
Now we don't have to type that "4 bytes per 40 chars (whole screen)"
comment everywhere...
Since those are all downstream recipients of either static storage or
memory that doesn't move for the duration of the custom level, it's okay
to make these be `const char*`s without having to redo any of the RAII
memory management.
mapclass::currentarea() is included in this as well. I also cleaned up
Tower.cpp's headers to fix some transitive includes because I was
removing UtilityClass.h includes from all other level files too.
The "Untitled room" names no longer show any coordinates, because doing
so would require complicated memory management that's completely
unneeded. No one will ever see them, and if they do they already know
they have a problem anyway. The only time they might be able to see them
is if they corrupted the areamap, but this was only possible in 2.2 and
previous by dying outside the room deaths array in Outside Dimension
VVVVVV, which has since been patched out. Besides, sometimes the
"Untitled room" gets overwritten by something else anyway (especially in
Finalclass.cpp), so it really, really doesn't matter.
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.
This makes it so gamemode(teleporter) will always do an animation, even
if the game is already in TELEPORTERMODE.
I used this script to test:
gamemode(teleporter)
delay(5)
gamemode(teleporter)
delay(5)
gamemode(teleporter)
In 2.2, this script starts the map menu bringing-up animation three
times.
In previous 2.3, this script starts the map menu bringing-up animation
once, but then the next gamemode(teleporter) immediately finishes the
animation, and the third gamemode(teleporter) does nothing.
This commit restores it to 2.2 behavior.
This makes it so it's not even possible to stay on the TELEPORTERMODE
screen by opening the map while it's being brought down. It also makes
it so the map animation is able to be canceled when being brought up
just by opening the map and closing it.
Fixes#833.
This restores it to 2.2 behavior, where the cutscene bars timer also
ticked in TELEPORTERMODE. It was a 2.3 regression that the cutscene bars
timer didn't tick there.
This makes it so if you manage to get stuck in TELEPORTERMODE when a
cutscene ends, the cutscene won't be stuck on untilbars() waiting for
the cutscene bars to go away, since the cutscene bars timer now ticks.
Also, add a sync parameter to avoid calling syncfs too often.
Calling syncfs twice in a row is both inefficient and leads to errors
displaying twice. This allows us to bypass it when saving unlock.vvv as
part of savestatsandsettings.
This object basically had no reason to exist... it was just more verbose
to use, which really reminded me of Java. Anyway, this is the last thing
named after the editor for no reason when it should be a part of the
customlevelclass, so I moved its attributes to customlevelclass.
This fixes the fact that the name of the singular type is plural, but
the name of the plural array is singular. Which has always annoyed me,
too. Also this makes it more clear that custom entities don't have much
to do with the editor.
That's what it is - it's an entity in a custom level. Not something to
do with the editor, necessarily. Like before, the name of the XML
element will remain the same.
That's what edlevelclass is... so that's what it should be named. (Also
removes that "ed", too, making this less coupled to the in-game editor.)
Unfortunately, for compatibility reasons, the name of the XML element
will still remain the same.
CustomLevels.h now uses 4-space indents - like all other space-indented
files - instead of 2-space indents. This has bugged me for a while and I
decided to just fix it now.
This is a pretty hefty commit! But essentially, I made a new editorclass
object, and moved all functions and variables that only get used in the
in-game level editor to that class. This cleanly demarcates which things
are in the editor and which things are just general custom level stuff.
Then I fixed up all the callers. I also fixed up some NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS
and NO_EDITOR ifdefs, too, in several places.
As far as I can tell, this function has never been implemented, and only
existed in this header file. FILESYSTEM_getLevelDirFileNames() already
exists (well, used to exist; it's been changed and renamed to
FILESYSTEM_enumerateLevelDirFileNames()), so I'm removing this now.
This accompanies the editor.cpp -> CustomLevels.cpp change; I'll be
splitting out the editor functions in the next commit. The name of the
include guard has been changed as well, but not anything else.
This moves editorrenderfixed(), editorrender(), editorinput(),
editorlogic(), and their associated functions to a new file named
Editor.cpp - which is exactly what it says on the tin; it stores all the
functions related to the actual in-game editor loop. Also, the existing
editor.cpp has been renamed to CustomLevels.cpp.
All XML functions now check the return value of
tinyxml2::XMLDocument::Error() after each document gets loaded in to
TinyXML-2. If there's an error, then all functions return. This isn't
strictly necessary, but printing the error message that TinyXML-2 is the
bare minimum we could do to be useful.
Additionally, I've standardized the error messages of missing or
corrupted XML files.
Also, the way the game went about making the XML handles was... a bit
roundabout. There were two XML handles, one for the document and one for
the root element - although only one XML handle suffices. So I've
cleaned that up too.
I could've gone further and added error checking for a whole bunch of
things (e.g. missing elements, missing attributes), but this is good
enough.
Also, if unlock.vvv or settings.vvv don't exist yet, the game is
guaranteed to no-op instead of continuing with the function. Nothing bad
seems to happen if the function continues, but the return statements
should be there anyway to clearly indicate intent.
If settings.vvv doesn't exist, loadsettings() calls savesettings(), but
savesettings() already prints a message if settings.vvv doesn't exist.
So then the output would look like
No settings.vvv found. Creating new file
No settings.vvv found
Which is clearly redundant.
The same thing happens with unlock.vvv, but in that case the following
prints instead
No unlock.vvv found. Creating new file
No Stats found. Assuming a new player
I will need to be able to return from this function if there's an XML
error, otherwise writing out the control flow manually gets really
nasty. And while I'm at it, it's some a nice de-duplication as well.
To do this, we create a temporary struct that bundles up all the
information we want for the summary, and pass it in to the intermediate
load function.
Furthermore, we can get rid of reading map.finalstretch - it affects
nothing. map.finalmode is still needed, however, because of the usage of
map.area().
Previously, Flip Mode rendering had to be complicated and allocate
another buffer to call FlipSurfaceVerticle, and it was just a mess.
Instead, why not just do SDL_RenderCopyEx, and let SDL flip the screen
for us? This ends up pretty massively simplifying the rendering code.
`-forcecolor` will force color to be on. `-nocolor` will force color to
be off.
And just because I'm a nice person, I've also added British versions of
those flags. As a treat.
This includes the bold as well.
INFO is just default, WARN is yellow, ERROR is red.
We try to automatically detect if the output is a TTY (and thus supports
colors), and don't emit colors if so. Windows 10 supports ANSI color
codes starting with a specific build, but we don't care to emit whatever
garbage Microsoft invented for builds older than that.
