If you're in (5, 5) (1-indexed) and you resize the map to (4,5), the
editor stays in (5, 5). This has no real consequences, other than
possibly confusing the user, but it should probably be fixed anyway.
I just discovered this: whereas 2.3 and older versions make gravity
and warp lines - when placed in the editor - stick out one tile
offscreen, the latest version stops the lines at the room border.
This change restores the old behavior, and it's a simple fix: the
refactored code was written to let tiles outside the room block
gravity/warp lines. Instead of all offscreen tiles blocking lines, now
there's a 1-tile padding around the room that will let them through.
Seems like I made a mistake while originally writing the "make
autotiling base" code. This commit fixes the warp background turning
into solid tiles when you switch to a different tileset.
If you had a pink space station background, and switched to a different
tileset, some solid tiles would be placed instead. This commit fixes
that by transforming the room into the basic autotiling tiles before
changing the tileset itself. The reason why I chose this solution is
because it will help with a future change, being unhardcoding warp zone
backgrounds (which'll help with custom autotiling, if that becomes a
thing.)
This commit removes the `NO_EDITOR` and `NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS` defines,
which cleans up the code a lot, and they weren't really needed anyways.
This commit also disables the editor on the Steam Deck, and adds a
program argument to re-enable the editor, `-enable-editor`.
This puts the code to fix mouse coordinates in stretch mode directly
inside KeyPoll::Poll, preventing the need for any other instances of
mouse coordinate usage to copy-paste code.
Autotiling was a mess of functions and if chains and switch statements.
This commit makes autotiling better by assigning each direction to one
bit in a byte, giving each different combination its own value. This
value is then fed into a lookup table to give fine control on which
tiles get placed where.
The lab tileset can now use the single tiles which were before unused
in the autotiler, and the warp zone's background tool now places the
fill used in the main game.
This adds an anonymous enum for sound effects and replaces all calls to
music.playef that use integer literals.
This is not a named enum (that can be used for strict typechecking)
because sound effect IDs are essentially part of the API of the game -
many custom levels use these numbers. This is just to make the source
code more readable without needing a comment to denote what number is
what sound.
This adds an anonymous enum for music tracks and replaces all calls to
music.play and music.niceplay that use integer literals. Additionally,
this is also done for integer literals for cl.levmusic (except 0) and
music.currentsong where appropriate, but _not_ the music areamap because
that would not make it look very aesthetically pleasing in the code.
This is not a named enum (that can be used for strict typechecking)
because music track IDs are essentially part of the API of the game -
almost every custom level uses these numbers. This is just to make the
source code more readable without needing a comment to denote what
number is what track.
This is quite a simple bug: If you edit a script, then close it, you
will no longer be able to use the mute buttons (N and M).
The problem here is that in 2.3, key.disabletextentry() was called when
closing a script. However, #944 removed the call. Therefore, a
regression.
`platv` is a room property that controls platform speed, and it has
always worked (other than some weird storage issues due to a bug).
However, the editor has no way to edit it currently, so people had to
resort to editing the level file by hand, or with a third-party tool.
This commit simply adds an easy way to modify platform speed.
VED has a fill bucket subtool for tiles and backgrounds, which is
really useful when creating rooms. This commit adds a fill bucket as
well, with an adaptive tool highlight, unlike VED.
This makes it so that `CustomEntity`s, at least internally, do not use
global tile position. Instead, they will use room-x and room-y
coordinates, which will be separate from their x- and y- positions.
This makes it much easier to deal with `CustomEntity`s, because you
don't have to divide and modulo everywhere to use them.
Since editorclass::add_entity and editorclass::get_entity_at expect
global tile position in their arguments, I've added room-x and room-y
arguments to these functions too.
Of course, due to compatibility reasons, the XML files will still have
to use global tile position. For the same reason, warp token
destinations are still using global tile position too.
These visualize the horizontal gravity line kludge for rooms beside
eachother. When you enter another room, gravity lines which look like
they're connected between the rooms try to have the same activated
state.
Basically, if you're in room (1,4) and you go into (2,4), if a
gravity line in (1,4) is activated (gray, on cooldown) and it's
touching the gravity line in (2,4), that gravity line will also be
activated.
This uses DDA (https://w.wiki/6RSQ) to draw a line between the previous
frame's mouse position, and the current frame's mouse position. This
means that there will no longer be gaps in lines of tiles if you move
your mouse fast enough (which is actually rather slow, so it gets
annoying quickly).
The editor's timestep is no longer hardcoded to 24, as I assume that
was only done so there would be less gaps in lines of tiles drawn.
With interpolation, that is no longer an issue, so I've removed the
editor's special case for the timestep.
Scripts used a weird "hook" system, where script names were extracted
into their own list. This was completely unneeded, so it has been
replaced with using the script.customscripts vector directly.
The script editor has been cleaned up, so the cursor's Y position is
relative to the entire script, rather than what's just displaying on
the screen currently. This simplifies a lot of code, and I don't know
why it was done the other way in the first place.
The script selector and script editor cursors have been sped up, since
both lists can be massive, and waiting 6 frames per line is extremely
slow and boring. This is still slow and boring, but we don't have
proper input repetition yet.
This commit moves everything left out of the previous commit to the
state system. This means a bunch of new functions were added as well,
to avoid the code in each function becoming too huge. A lot of cleanup
was done as well, simplifying logic, merging duplicated code, etc.
This commit does NOT touch "script hooks", script editor logic and
autotiling, as those seem to be their own separate beasts.
While warp lines were being drawn, they also got resized to
automatically fit between collision. In renderfixed, gravity lines are
resized the same way. Doing logic while drawing is very poor practice,
so resizing of these has been moved into logic, and merged together.
Aside from some more cleanup, this commit also removes the very poorly
done right click emulation, when you hold CTRL and click. It never
worked well in the past, and even requires a right click to use, so
there's not really any point to keeping it around.
The drawer could definitely be improved further, however I cleaned up a
little bit of the code duplication. I'll have to take a closer look
some other time, but I'm pretty sure that the duplicated code at the
bottom can be removed with a few tweaks, but I'll do that carefully
in a different commit.
Tools were a mess, spread all over the code with hundreds of `else-if`
statements. Instead of magic numbers denoting tools, an enum has been
created, and logic has been extracted into simple switch/cases, shared
logic being deduplicated.
The base of a state system for the editor has been created as well,
laying a good path for further organization improvements. Because of
this, the entire editor no longer gets drawn underneath the menus,
except for a few pieces which I haven't extracted yet. Either way,
this should be good for performance, if that was a concern.
Previously, the game would not store the size of the window itself, and
would always call SDL_GetRendererOutputSize() (via
Screen::GetWindowSize()) to figure out the size of the window. The only
problem is, this would return the size of the whole monitor if the game
was in fullscreen mode. And the only place where the original windowed
mode size was stored would be in SDL itself, but that wouldn't persist
after the game was closed.
So, if you exited the game while in fullscreen mode, then your window
size would get set to the size of your monitor (1920 by 1080 in my
case). Then when you opened the game and toggled fullscreen off, it
would go back to the default window size, which is 640 by 480.
This is made worse, however, if you were in forced fullscreen mode when
you previously exited the game in windowed mode. In that case, the game
saves the size of 1920 by 1080, but doesn't save that you were in
fullscreen mode, so opening the game not in forced fullscreen mode would
result in you having a 1920 by 1080 window, but in windowed mode.
Meaning that not even fullscreening and unfullscreening would put the
game window back to normal size.
The solution, of course, is to just store the window size ourselves,
like any other screen setting, and only use GetWindowSize() if needed.
And just to make things clear, I've also renamed the GetWindowSize()
function to GetScreenSize(), because if it was named "window" it could
lead one to think that it would always return the size of the screen in
windowed mode, when in fact it returns the size of the screen whatever
mode it is in - fullscreen size if in fullscreen mode and window size if
in windowed mode.
And doing this also fixes the FIXME above Screen::isForcedFullscreen().
See the previous two commits, a lot of the time we don't need
std::string objects to be passed to these functions because we already
have C strings.
Commit 1/3: font::print_wrap
Commit 2/3: font::print
-> Commit 3/3: font::len
We no longer need to pass a std::string object to the print and len
functions - in fact, we often only have a C string that we want to
print or get the visual width of (that C string most often comes from
loc::gettext), and it's a bit wasteful to wrap it in a new std::string
object on every print/len call.
This does mean adding a few more .c_str()s, but there's not many places
where a std::string is being passed to these functions, and we already
use .c_str() sometimes.
-> Commit 1/3: font::print_wrap
Commit 2/3: font::print
Commit 3/3: font::len
This makes them stand out more.
The border around the tool has also been moved to be drawn first.
Otherwise, it would be drawn on top of the outline of the text, which
would look bad.
"by {author}" is a string that will cause a lot of localization-related
problems, which then become much worse when different languages and
levels can also need different fonts:
- If the author name is set to something in English instead of a name,
then it'll come out a bit weird if your VVVVVV is set to a different
language: "de various people", "por various people", etc. It's the
same problem with Discord bots completing "playing" or "watching" in
their statuses.
- Translators can't always fit "by" in two letters, and level creators
have understandably always assumed, and will continue to assume, that
"by" is two letters. So if you have your VVVVVV set to a language that
translates "by" as something long, then:
| by Various People and Others |
...may suddenly show up as something like:
|thorer Various People and Othe|
- "by" and author may need mutually incompatible fonts. For example, a
Japanese level in a Korean VVVVVV needs to be displayed with "by" in
Korean characters and the author name with Japanese characters, which
would need some very special code since languages may want to add
text both before and after the name.
- It's very possible that some languages can't translate "by" without
knowing the gender of the name, and I know some languages even
inflect names in really interesting ways (adding and even replacing
letters in first names, surnames, and anything in between, depending
on gender and what else is in the sentence).
So to solve all of this, the "by" is now replaced by a 10x10 face from
sprites.png, like a :viridian: emote. See it as a kind of avatar next
to a username, to clarify and assert that this line is for the author's
name. It should be a fairly obvious/recognizable icon, it fixes all the
above problems, and it's a bonus that we now have more happy faces in
VVVVVV.
By default, when you open the level editor to start a new level, the
level font will now match your VVVVVV language; so if you're, say,
Japanese, then you can make Japanese levels from the get-go. If you
want to make levels for a different target audience, you can change the
font via a new menu (map settings > change description > change font).
The game will remember this choice and it will become the new initial
level font.
They need to know how wide the text is going to be in a particular
font, so font::string_wordwrap and font::string_wordwrap_balanced now
take a flags argument like all the printing and dimensions-getting
functions. next_wrap and next_wrap_s take a Font* now, they're internal
to Font.cpp so they can take a Font and avoid double flag-parsing. But
if any non-Font.cpp code needs next_wrap/next_wrap_s in the future, I'd
just make a public wrapper that takes a uint32_t flags and passes the
Font* to the internal functions.
- If the level font is higher than 10 pixels, the third description
line (Desc3) is disabled and unavailable. CJK languages require less
characters to convey the same message (140 characters caused people
to cram tweets in all languages except CJK) and this gives us enough
room in the levels list without having to cram the metadata even more
than it already was or showing less levels per page.
- The "Untitled Level" and "by Unknown" now selectively show up in the
interface font instead of the level font.
The last two deprecated functions are:
- Graphics::Print
- Graphics::PrintWrap
These are used a lot, but they're relatively easy to replace, since the
only flag I probably have to immediately worry about is PR_CEN. I do
often need to add PR_FONT_* flags but I don't need to add any
PR_2X/PR_3X/PR_4X anymore.
Only three deprecated functions remain:
- Graphics::Print
- Graphics::PrintWrap
- Graphics::bigprint
I also fixed multiline transparent textboxes having their outlines
overlap the text itself, and fixed textboxclass::padtowidth assuming
glyph widths of 8 (it made the hints at the start of intermission 1
run offscreen for example)
