As described in #1016, there used to be a bug that inflated
levelstats.vvv in 2.3, which was fixed in 2.4, but there was no way
for inflated files to get smaller yet.
This commit changes the storage of levelstats from a std::vector of
structs to a std::map, so that uniqueness is guaranteed and thus the
stats can be optimized automatically. And it also simplifies *and*
optimizes the code that handles the levelstats - no more big loops that
iterated over every element to find the matching level.
(Farewell to the "life optimisation and all that" comment, too)
I tested this with both my own levelstats.vvv, as well as some inflated
ones (including Balneor's 93 MB one) and saw this code correctly reduce
the filesize and speed up the levels list.
Fixes#1016.
The declarations of `std::vector<std::string> customlevelnames` and
`std::vector<int> customlevelscores` are made quite early in the
function, commented with "Old system", but the place where the old
system is processed is after a big chunk of code that processes the new
system (and indeed never uses these vectors). So for readability,
they're now closer to where they're used.
`levelcomplete` and `gamecomplete` were hardcoded using textbox colors
which were offset by 1. This PR fixes that, no longer requiring
slightly-off colors, and instead adding a new property to textboxes
which tell the game to display either level complete or game complete.
This commit adds a system for displaying sprites in textboxes, meant to
replace the hardcoded system in the main game. This does not support
levelcomplete.png and gamecomplete.png yet, which will most likely just
be special cases.
This ensures loading a 2.4 save in the English-only 2.3 or earlier
doesn't result in missing characters because a translated area name
appears in the save file. We are not reading from <summary> anymore
in 2.4.
The way this is done is by not translating the area names inside
mapclass::currentarea(), but at the callsites other than the one which
saves the <summary>.
For both `tele` and `quick`, I removed these attributes of class Game:
- std::string *_gametime
- int *_trinkets
- std::string *_currentarea
- bool *_crewstats[numcrew]
All this info can now be gotten from members of Game::last_telesave and
Game::last_telesave. I've also cleaned up the continue menu to not have
all the display code appear twice (once for telesave and once for
quicksave).
RIP "Error! Error!" though lol
This is what got saved to the area part of the <summary> tags, and it
was specifically set upon pressing ACTION to save in the map menu.
Which meant tsave.vvv may not get an accurate area name (notably
"nowhere" if you hadn't quicksaved before in that session) even though
it's not displayed anywhere so it didn't really matter. But this
variable can be removed - there's only one place where <summary> is
written for both quicksaves and telesaves, so that now gets the area
at saving time.
Fun fact: custom level quicksaves also have a <summary> tag, and it's
even less functional than the one in tsave.vvv, because it stores
whatever main-game area name applies to your current coordinates.
So I simply filled in the level's name instead (just like what the
actual save box says).
Game::telesummary and Game::quicksummary stored the summary string for
the save files - which is the <summary> tag that says something like
"Space Station, 10:30:59". The game only ever displays the quicksave
variant of these two, for "Last Save:" on the map menu's SAVE tab.
So the telesave has a <summary> too, but it's never displayed anywhere.
(In fact, the area is often set to "nowhere"...)
However, the summary strings have another function: detect that both
the telesave and quicksave exist. If a summary string for a save is
empty, then that save is considered not to exist.
I'm refactoring the summary string system, by making the new variables
Game::last_telesave and Game::last_quicksave of type struct
Game::Summary. This struct should have all data necessary to display
the summary string at runtime, and thus translate it at runtime (so
we don't store a summary in a certain language and then display it in
the wrong font later - the summary can always be in the current
language). It also has an `exists` member, to replace the need to
check for empty strings.
The <summary> tag is now completely unused, but is still written to
for older versions of the game to read.
(This commit does not add the new string to the language files, since
Terry now added it separately in his own branch)
It used to take a single int: the area number returned by
mapclass::area(roomx, roomy). All uses of currentarea() were called
with an extra area() call as its argument. Additionally, there's a
good reason why currentarea() should have the room coordinates: in one
of the cases that it's called, there's a special case for the ship's
coordinates. This results in the SAVE screen in the map menu being able
to show "The Ship", while the continue screen shows "Dimension VVVVVV"
instead. Therefore, why not put that exception inside currentarea()
instead, and remove a few callsite map.area() wrappers by making
currentarea() take the room x and y coordinates?
Language folders can now have a graphics folder, with these files:
- sprites.png and flipsprites.png: spritesheets which contain
translated versions of the word enemies and checkpoints
- spritesmask.xml: an XML file containing all the sprites that should
be copied from the translated sprites and flipsprites images to
the original sprites/flipsprites.
This means that the translated spritesheets don't have to contain ALL
sprites - they only have to contain the translated ones. When loading
them, the game assembles a combined spritesheet with translated sprites
replacing English ones as needed, and this sheet is used to visually
substitute the normal sprites at rendering time.
It's important to note that even if 32x32 enemies have pixel-perfect
hitboxes, this is only a visual change. This has been discussed several
times on Discord - basically we don't want to give people unfair
advantages or disadvantages because of their language setting, or
change existing gameplay and speedruns tactics, which may depend on the
exact pixel arrangements of the enemies. Therefore, the hitboxes are
still based on the English sprites. This should be basically
unnoticeable for casual players, especially with some thought from
translators and artists, but there will be an option in the speedrunner
menu to display the original sprites all the time.
I removed the `VVV_freefunc(SDL_FreeSurface, *tilesheet)` in
make_array() in Graphics.cpp, which frees grphx.im_sprites_surf and
grphx.im_flipsprites_surf. Since GraphicsResources::destroy() already
frees these, it looks like the only purpose the one in make_array()
serves is to do it earlier. But now we need them again later (when
switching languages) so let's just not free them early.
It'll start working in the next commit... See the description there.
(This commit does not add the new strings to the language files, since
Terry now added them separately in his own branch)
The intention of the recent refactor was to make it so that the
temporary surfaces would be allocated only once, when the mode is
enabled, and be freed upon exit.
To do this, Graphics.cpp owns the pointers, and passes them to
ApplyFilter to modify. Except ApplyFilter doesn't actually modify the
pointers, because it's only a single pointer, not a pointer-to-pointer.
So every frame of rendering it would actually be creating a new surface
and leaking memory.
To fix this, they need to be pointer-to-pointer variables that get
modified.
I also added error logs in case the surface creation failed.
Right now, Windows assumes all our console output is code page ????.
That means our UTF-8 output appears mangled. (I ran into this while
testing IME text input by outputting strings to the console)
For a moment I was scared we'd need to do UTF-16 conversions and call
Windows-specific print functions like WriteConsoleW() in our vlog
functions, but fortunately SetConsoleOutputCP(CP_UTF8) works just fine.
Since VVVVVV 2.3, time trial best times are stored not just with the
number of seconds, but also the number of frames. However, there was
no room to display it with the old design of the time trials screen.
Now there is, so it can easily be displayed now with a small change!
Unset frames are stored as -1, which fits perfectly into the frames
argument of help.format_time(), because in that case the amount of
centiseconds is not shown.
It should be noted that opening VVVVVV 2.2 will instantly wipe your
frames records, as described by #1030. But many people will likely
never open 2.2 anymore.
In 8484b36198, I fixed the title screen
showing up if you go to the language screen from in-game, while not
having any language files. There was also one other possible way to get
this to happen that I missed though: if you do have language files, and
you have not set your language yet, and you start a playtest via the
command line (e.g. by using Ved), and you then change the language
from the in-game options. That is now fixed.
I really thought I was going to need to block changing the language
in-game altogether, but activity zone prompts are now fixed and the
only obvious problem I can think of right now is having a dialogue
open, so I just disable the language option if a textbox is displayed.
(like how the map menu only has the save option if a script is running)
The translations for the prompts used to be looked up at creation time
(when the room is loaded or the activity zone is otherwise spawned),
which meant they would persist through changing the language while
in-game. This would look especially weird when the languages you switch
between use different fonts, as the prompt would show up in the old
language in the new language's font.
This problem is now fixed by letting the activity zone block keep
around the English prompt instead of the translated prompt, and letting
the prompt be translated at display time. This fixes a big part of the
reason I was going to disable changing the language while in-game; I
might only need to do it while textboxes are active now! :)
If someone makes a build of the game without copying the correct
folders, their version will have no translations, and display some text
wrong (like credits or button glyphs, or any custom levels that rely on
characters in the fonts being there). So I added a message in the
bottom left corner of the title screen to warn for that.
If you've never set a language before (<lang_set> is not 1), then the
language screen will show up before the title screen. Selecting the
language will then make the title screen show up.
If no language files are present, the old logic for handling this was
to simply show the language screen at startup anyway, and let it
display the error message that language files are missing, as a warning
that the game is not packaged correctly. However, this logic has two
flaws:
- If the user has ever had language files and set a language before
(in a VVVVVV on that computer), the warning element is gone because
the language screen is not shown in that case - the game is simply in
English
- If the user has never set a language before, and then goes to the
language screen later via the menu, they will be sent to the title
screen, even if they were in-game. The main menu will also be broken.
The new way is to not show the language screen at startup if language
files are missing, and to change the logic so that you will only be
sent to the title screen if you actually haven't seen the title screen
yet.
I will also add a proper warning that fonts or language files are
missing by adding a message in the bottom left corner (in place of the
MMMMMM installed message).
We had two separate cases for translators for this string (a
"TO UNLOCK:" one and a secret lab trophy one) but I forgot to use
the latter in the code, so both places in the game were using the
former. This is now fixed.
Originally, we were using just the hint, but this didn't work well for
toggling VSync (see #831). Then I added SDL_RenderSetVSync to SDL, and
used that instead for toggling, but we were still setting the hint on
game startup.
Now, to keep things consistent, and just to make sure we don't get any
surprising behavior should things change in the future, this makes it so
game startup uses SDL_RenderSetVSync too.
This fixes#1013 by axing the use of SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY and
instead using SDL_SetTextureScaleMode.
The hint is unwieldy to use, and since #923, has resulted in a
regression where starting the game in filtered mode then switching to
nearest results in scaled textures still being filtered.
The proper solution is to use SDL_SetTextureScaleMode on the two
textures that are drawn to the final screen: gameTexture and
tempShakeTexture.
This commit fixes an obscure bug with `destroy(moving)` and
`destroy(disappear)` where, when looping through entities, the code
doesn't actually check what the entity is before trying to destroy the
block underneath it.
To fix this, we just put the block-destroying code *inside* of the
check, instead of being outside of it.
I also fixed the code style because it was horrible.
Closes#925.
My fix here is to delay the font change until all fading-out textboxes
have disappeared. See it as adding a sort of `untilbars` or `untilfade`
for text box fadeout, into setfont.
This doesn't prevent every possible way to change the font of an
existing textbox, but you would need to use internal scripting to still
do it (and basically be doing it on purpose) - the problem in
simplified scripting when you simply do textbox-setfont-textbox is
gone.
Showing the option on the "play a level" option feels to me as though
inexperienced players would think they're not supposed to open the
player levels, because the message says editor levels are unsupported,
right? But the message is only referring to the level editor, so in my
opinion, it's clearer to only show it there.
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`.
For some reason, the credits button was always specifically removed from
M&P builds. After some discussion with Terry Cavanagh on the VVVVVV
Discord server, we agreed that there was no reason this should be
removed. So, it's getting put back in.
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.
If this text on the time trial results screen would overlap with the
time value, all rank labels will be displayed on the header line
instead ("TIME TAKEN:" etc). This works because the overlap with the
time most likely only happens with CJK fonts (where the time will be
very wide because of the font size) while strings like "TIME TAKEN"
take up very little space due to only needing 4 characters or so for
the same information.
- ERROR/WARNING screen title was overlapping with message
- Crewmate screen names and rescued statuses were overlapping with each
other
- Textboxes on Level Complete screen were overlapping with each other
and the crewmate was not vertically centered in the box
- Some strings were running into each other in flip mode, instead of
being moved out of each other (PR_CJK_HIGH and PR_CJK_LOW worked the
wrong way around because of FLIP macros being applied to Y coords)
- In-game esc menu was "bouncy" with selected menu options because of a
hardcoded 16 pixel offset
- Bindings in the gamepad menu were overlapping with each other
- Some Super Gravitron "Best Time" labels and values were a little too
close
Two changes:
- The labels on the Game Complete! screen for number of trinkets/deaths
/time etc have been moved two pixels to the right, and had their
limits increased by 1 character
- The inaccuate limit for "quit to main menu" has been increased
If you provided any one of -playx, -playy, -playrx, -playry, -playgc, or
-playmusic in command-line arguments for command-line playtesting, then
the game would always try to play music, even if you passed a negative
-playmusic. This wouldn't do anything in that case, unless you had
MMMMMM installed, in which case it would play MMMMMM track 15
(Predestined Fate Final Level) due to the legacy wraparound bug.
To fix this, only play music if the track provided is greater than -1.
Additionally, to prevent it from playing Path Complete by default if you
specify any of the other save position arguments but n ot -playmusic,
it's now initialized to -1 instead of 0.
Turns out `graphics.drawrect` exists. Well, not anymore!
This was another function from before the renderer rewrite which tried
to draw a rectangle by using four filled rectangles. We can draw
outline rectangles properly now, so let's make sure everywhere does it!
As #974 states, the lab background only ever uses the first generated
value from `backboxint`, so let's change it to a normal variable
instead of an array. Also, stars don't need their width/height set to
2 constantly... they never change in the first place, Terry!
Some code still used rectangles to draw things like lines and pixels,
so this commit adds more draw functions to support drawing lines and
pixels without directly using the renderer.
Aside from making generated minimaps draw points instead of 1x1
rectangles, this commit also batches the point drawing for an
additional speed increase.
This fixes a bug where if a track was resumed, pausing it by unfocusing
the window (if enabled, of course) would not resume it after refocusing
the window.
This happens because resuming the music doesn't change currentsong back
from -1, and the window refocusing code checks that currentsong isn't -1
before resuming music.
haltedsong is only used when resuming music. It is set back to -1 when
resuming music or when playing a new track.
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 fixes a regression where main game teleporter icons (which would be
target icons if flag 12 was on) would be rendered on the minimap after
loading from a custom quicksave.
This is because this was always enabled when loading from a custom
quicksave, but the game didn't start rendering them until PR #898, which
de-duplicated the minimap rendering code.
The best fix here is to just not enable the teleporters when loading
from custom quicksaves.
This adds an anonymous enum for time trial indexes (e.g. the bestrank,
bestlives, etc. arrays and timetriallevel), and replaces all integer
literals with them.
Just like the unlock arrays, these are indexes to an array in XML save
files, so the numbers matter, and therefore should not use strict
typechecking.
This adds an anonymous enum for the unlock and unlocknotify arrays and
unlocknum function, and replaces all integer literals with them.
This is not named and thus cannot be used for strict typechecking
because these are actually indexes into an array in XML save files, so
the numbers themselves matter a lot.
This replaces the swngame int variable with a named enum and enforces
strict typechecking on it.
Strict typechecking is okay here as the swngame variable is not part of
the API surface of the game in any way and is completely internal.
And just to make things clear, I've added a SWN_NONE enum to use for
initialization, because previously it was being initialized to 0, even
though 0 was the Gravitron.
The clock on the Game Saved quicksave screen has always been upside-down
in Flip Mode. And technically, the trinket was too, but this was
unnoticeable because the default trinket sprite is symmetrical.
To fix this, draw flipsprites.png if these sprites are being drawn in
Flip Mode instead of sprites.png.
There's not any ill effects of it being initialized to 0 that I am aware
of (because in most cases, it either gets overwritten anyways or there
isn't a track playing in the first place), but it shouldn't be 0,
because that's Path Complete, so fixing this just in case.
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.
