This exports the previously-internal setLevelDirError function in
FileSystemUtils and uses it for if a level is not found or there was a
parsing error. Previously, if a level failed to load in these ways, it
would take you to the error screen with no error, while printing it to
the console. But this makes it more user-friendly.
As a bonus, the text is localizable, just like the existing usage of
FILESYSTEM_setLevelDirError for if a path couldn't be mounted.
After the scriptclass::startgamemode refactor, a lot of common code is
still being executed even if the level loading failed. This sets the
game-gamestate to TITLEMODE in gotoerrorloadinglevel(), and also returns
early just in case.
Fixes#975.
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.
If you used command-line playtesting to load a level in a zip, the game
would print a warning saying the level wasn't found. This is because the
warning is printed when it tries to load a level before it loads zips,
inside the metadata load function itself.
To fix this, just move the responsibility for printing the error outside
the function, and put it on the caller.
This prints all binary blob check fails. It's an error if the game
rejects the header and will refuse to load it at all, and a warning if
the game continues on.
This also removes the EOF check (`offset + header->size > size`) as a
fatal error. It will only print a warning now. If the last header goes
past the end of file, it will be handled gracefully by PhysFS, which is
the same case in VVVVVV 2.2. This actually fixes a regression from 2.3
where certain custom level tracks that were working perfectly fine in
2.2 (e.g. Summer Spooktacular's track 15) refused to play since 2.3.
This checks the return value of PHYSFS_readBytes() in all cases, and
uses a wrapper to not duplicate common logic. If the read fails, then it
will vlog an error, else if the amount of bytes read was less than
expected, it will vlog a warning.
Additionally, the space allocated for a file in
FILESYSTEM_loadFileToMemory is SDL_calloc()ed instead of SDL_malloc()ed
so if there are less bytes than expected, the memory will at least be
zeroed. This also means we don't have to do the null termination,
because the last byte will already be zeroed.
The return value of PHYSFS_readBytes() when reading the headers of
binary blobs now assigns to `header->size`, so the call has been placed
after the increment to `offset` because `offset` needs the correct (i.e.
intended) size of the header.
In the past I was thinking we could use some kind of feature in VVVVVV
to track outdated strings across language files. But as it turns out, a
manual solution is actually *perfect* (in combination with automatic
syncing): duplicating strings and marking the old one as outdated. We
started doing it in recent PRs, so let's make it official by adding it
to the readme.
In Italian, "Credits" is "Riconoscimenti", which runs offscreen with
the 3x font size that this title uses in the rolling credits at the end
of the game. I'm not sure if the translators saw that specific
instance, or thought the limit complaint was about the main menu button
all along (which is more prominent and *does* stick out far enough that
the complaint could plausibly have been about that, from a translator's
perspective!)
Either way, it's solved now: this string's width is now checked, and if
it will run offscreen at 3x size, it will now be displayed at 2x size
instead. The limit has been increased from 13 to 20 in the language
files accordingly.
This already happened on 2023-03-16, but I held off on updating the
repo's version a bit long: I wanted to wait a little to batch it up
with the next update, but the next update only arrived today, so...
I noticed that in 2.3, the game would launch with default controller
binds upon first launch (e.g. no pre-existing unlock.vvv or
settings.vvv), but in 2.4, this wasn't the case, and the default binds
would only be set the next time the game was launched. This would result
in you being essentially unable to use the controller on first launch
save for the analogue stick and D-pad to move between menu selections
and move the player.
Bisecting pointed to commit 3ef5248db9 as
the cause of the regression. It turns out returning early upon error or
a file not existing didn't set the default controller binds, because
they were done at the end of Game::deserializesettings(). But the binds
would be set on the next launch because if the file didn't exist, a new
file would be written, not with the default binds, but then the next
launch would read the file, see there were no binds, and then set the
default binds accordingly.
To fix this, I made it so that the default controller binds are set when
Game is initialized. That way, it covers all cases where the game can't
read a settings file.
Ever since 2.3, if you bind a controller button to the "menu" action
(i.e. back/escape) you won't be able to change that button to any other
action, because pressing it anywhere in the binding menu will exit to
the previous menu, without applying the binding.
I know action sets will overhaul everything, but 2.4 may (probably
"should") come out before we have action sets. This part is very
broken, and the fix is very easy: just move the bind-assigning code to
above the menu-return-on-esc code, and add a return.
For some reason, the accessibility option that was meant to disable
flashes doesn't disable ALL flashes, only screen flashes and screen
shaking. This commit disables a lot more, most importantly randomness
in colors, the player flashing on death/respawn, and teleporters
flashing.
This updates the interpolation positions of the player when transforming
into and out of VVVVVV-Man.
Otherwise, it can be seen that the player "zips" quickly during these
transformations if the Secret Lab entrance cutscene is played with
screen effects off.
Unfortunately, 1de459d9b4 caused a
regression where musicclass::niceplay() didn't work, because fading out
the music would cause haltdasmusik() to be called, which would reset the
fade variables.
To fix this, haltdasmusik() will now only reset the fade variables if
it's not called from a fade, which is signaled with a function
parameter.
`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 fixes a regression from 2.3 where the very beginning of A New
Dimension isn't silent.
A New Dimension's level music is set to Predestined Fate, but there is a
script box the player touches right upon spawning that stops playing
music. Then after the player ascends upwards, they touch a script box
that plays Predestined Fate. But in 2.2 and before, the very beginning
is silent due to the script box that stops music.
However in 2.3, due to the changes made to playing music during a fade,
the initial level music trying to play Predestined Fate during a music
fadeout from the main menu resulted in Predestined Fate being stored in
the nice fade variables, which kicked in after halting the music since
halting didn't reset those variables.
This resets those variables whenever music is halted, and now the
beginning of A New Dimension is back to how it was in 2.2 and before.
This fixes a regression where the red channel 0 glitch didn't work,
because the surface was always whitened, because LoadSprites would
whiten the image before converting it to surface.
This regression happened because of #923.
Fixes#962.
Misa asked me if this should only work for non-transparent textboxes,
and it shouldn't - that was kind of an oversight.
To make it work for transparent textboxes as well, I made a little
restructuring to avoid duplicating the code - fill_buttons() is now
called textbox_line(), and it replaces the direct accessing of the
textbox lines in the printing loops. The code that checks the width
of the textbox does not need to be copied, since the text box is
naturally not drawn for transparent text boxes.
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.
As reported by Lilithtreasure on the VVVVVV Discord server, it is
possible to get gray moving platforms and enemies in the main game.
This happens if you play the main game after loading a custom level with
a room that is gray at the same coordinates. E.g. if you play a custom
level with a gray room at (12, 4), then exit and go to Gantry and Dolly
in the main game which is also at (12, 4), then the platforms there
would be gray too.
This is because there is a missing map.custommode check.
The missing piece from sound effects was handling what to do when the
buffer ran out. Which seems to happen often when decoding from OGG,
unlike WAV. This handling involves callbacks to functions named
refillReserve and swapBuffers.
Without this code,some sound effects would be cut off early, as
documented in #953. This might also explain the division by 20 - which
I've copied too, just in case.
Now OGG sound effect tracks should be identical to music tracks (except
I've stripped the looping code out).
Fixes#953.
We were using this function to check if the format of the existing voice
is different from the format of the voice we intended to play. However,
whereas the format we use is the FAudioWaveFormatEx struct, the only
details we get from FAudioVoice_GetVoiceDetails is the
FAudioVoiceDetails struct, which has much less details and is missing
important things like whether the format is 8-bit or 16-bit or something
else.
And of course, if we don't check that the number of bits matches, then
it still leads to playback issues as described in #953.
There are no other functions in FAudio that operate on
FAudioWaveFormatEx structs. So instead, we'll just have to do it
ourselves, and store the format of the existing voice alongside the
format of the intended voice. And then use SDL_memcmp to make sure the
formats are the same before playing, and if not, then destroy and
re-create the voice.
Fixes#953.
There's a few places where textboxes are constructed through code, but
they pass in the color's RGB values in manually. This commit
unhardcodes most of them them, replacing them with a color lookup.
The ones that weren't changed are special cases, like `175, 174, 174`.
I thought 2.2 already had separate map and interact gamepad bindings,
and they simply got neglected and broken with 2.3's split Enter/E key
option. But actually, the new split Enter/E option also applied to
gamepad buttons, and a separate interact binding was added, without
really indicating anything if Enter and E are not split. And I guess
using the same button for map and interact by default also makes sense
for simplicity...
This commit makes sure the button glyph displayed in-game is at least
the correct button. The gamepad bindings menu is also slightly modified
to darken the interact option - the button glyphs code now
automatically causes them to show equal buttons anyway, so it wasn't
too big of a change to also darken the line and disable the binding
option. To me this says: "the interact key is fixed to be the same as
enter right now, but there is a way to change it."
It's still not ideal of course, and I know a similar change to the
gamepad menu to hide the interact option was rejected a year ago
because action sets would already fix it, but it's a year later now,
and showing misleading button glyphs should be fixed in 2.4, whether it
will already have action sets or not (And at this point I think the
plan already is to keep the existing input system for 2.4)
And it's a 3 line diff to darken and disable the option, compared to
fully hiding the option.
The language screen has a "Press Space, Z, or V to select" hint, which
I forgot to update for supporting button glyphs in #943, so this commit
does.
<action_hint>Press Space, Z, or V to select</action_hint>
<gamepad_hint>Press {button} to select</gamepad_hint>

"newer" probably means "the last edit date is newer because it was just
cloned", so let's see if including it in the cache means the last edit
date will be kept the same too... We can freely do this, as the cache
key includes the hash of the file itself.
Since the initial `cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" ..` seems to be a
real bottleneck on the Windows CI (sometimes taking multiple minutes
for seemingly no reason), cache the build folder based on the hash
of CMakeLists.txt. It should be possible to reuse the build folder if
CMakeLists hasn't changed, and if it does change (because someone adds
a source file or library or something), we'll just do that initial
cmake with -G once, and cache that version as well.
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows
For some reason, this test takes a dozen seconds or more. Maybe because
it needs to boot up powershell or something like that? No idea, but
it's just sitting there. The cache action has a return value that
indicates whether there was a cache hit, so there's no need to use
Test-Path, saving CI time.
EDIT: Maybe the SDL cache hasn't ever been working. It seems to cache
30 bytes (huh?) and the folder it caches is C:\SDL, not C:\SDL2-2.24.0
as the folder would look like. So it was probably downloading SDL every
time anyway?
Also, I upgraded the cache@v2 action to cache@v3. I added a cache@v3
myself and noticed this was still using cache@v2, so I figured, why not
future-proof it? And that's when I notice this warning: "Node.js 12
actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use
Node.js 16: actions/cache@v2." So it's pretty good timing.
This was easier than I expected - just add an optional buttons="1"
attribute to cutscenes.xml. It's treated like the speaker attribute -
it's only there as context for the translator, and for the cutscene
test.
Due to rebasing messiness and diff noise, it's probably best if pull
requests either don't sync all the language files at all (and only
modify the English ones) OR only do it as a final commit. It's still
something we need to figure out, lol.
If a controller button is pressed, a controller is connected (even at
startup!) or an axis is moved, the game will switch to displaying
controller glyphs. If a keyboard key is pressed or the last controller
is removed, the game will switch to displaying keyboard keys.
This adds mappings from SDL's Xbox-based SDL_GameControllerButton
constants, to glyphs for the following layouts:
- LAYOUT_NINTENDO_SWITCH_PRO,
- LAYOUT_NINTENDO_SWITCH_JOYCON_L,
- LAYOUT_NINTENDO_SWITCH_JOYCON_R,
- LAYOUT_DECK,
- LAYOUT_PLAYSTATION,
- LAYOUT_XBOX,
- LAYOUT_GENERIC,
There may still be errors in these, but they should be mostly correct.
I'm leaving it up to Ethan to make it show the correct button glyphs
for the correct controllers being connected (and possibly to fix these
mappings where needed).
Violet's dialogue now looks like this:
squeak(purple)
text(purple,0,0,2)
Remember that you can press {b_map}
to check where you are on the map!
position(purple,above)
textbuttons()
speak_active
The new textbuttons() command sets the next textbox to replace {b_map}
with the map button, and {b_int} with the interact button. The
remaining keys would be added as soon as they need to be added to
ActionSets.h as well.
This adds a function that converts an action (such as interacting
in-game) to the corresponding button text ("ENTER", "E") or button
glyph (PlayStation triangle, Steam Deck Y, etc). This function
currently only gives the existing ENTERs or Es, because I don't know
how best to detect controller usage, or whether the game is running on
a Steam Deck, or what buttons need to be displayed there. Still, it
should now be really easy to adapt the rendering of keyboard keys to
consoles, controllers, or rebound keys.
To identify the actions that currently need to be displayed, this
commit also adds the initial enums for action sets as described by
Ethan in a comment in #834 (Jan 18, 2022).
