2.55.9

View a summary of what's new in 2.55.

Features

• show bottom 8 pixels acd97ba42  

  The bottom 8 pixels of the screen has always been hidden. This was considered to be a universally bad thing, so they are now visible. A compat quest rule is added to control this behavior.

  When the bottom 8 pixels are enabled, active subscreens are still just 168 pixels tall. Instead, active subscreens travel an extra 8 pixels when opened.

  ZC Player has a setting to configure this too. By default, it defers to the QR as defined in the quest, but users can override this.

Player

• option to disable transparent darkrooms stacking multiple transparent layers d188ece0e

Editor

• 'Reference Tiles' 42197305c  

  In the tile pages, 'RClick->Set as Reference'. This tile will now display on the left-hand side while editing any other tile, as a reference.

ZScript

• Allow '_' to be used as a spacer in numbers 71a1233f9  

  Ex. 100_000 == 100000, 2_147_483_647L = 2147483647L, 0b10_10_10_10 == 0b10101010

• add Game->HeroScreen cfdfc4f76  

  In 2.55, this is always equal to Game->CurScreen. In 3.0, this updates as the player moves around. Added to 2.55 for script compatability.

• add Screen->Index 136e14652  

  In 2.55, this is always equal to Game->CurScreen. In 3.0 scrolling regions, the value of this varies depending on the context (for example, an npc script will have this set to the screen the enemy spawned on).

• add itemdata::FlashCSet, improve itemdata::CSet 7b9ed5505  

  itemdata::CSet contained both the normal and flash csets, and required bitwise operations to access. It also didn't allow for setting the flash cset. Now, itemdata::CSet is only for the normal cset, and the flash cset uses the new itemdata::FlashCSet.

• add Viewport 4f709c1a7  

  This global represents the currently visible playing field. In 2.55, this is all read-only and only changes during scroll transitions. In 3.0, the visible viewport can be modified by scripts, and updates as the player moves around a scrolling region.

• add Screen->DrawOrigin 4a1cf781c  

  Determines how coordinates given to Screen drawing functions are interpreted. For more, see: https://docs.zquestclassic.com/zscript/globals/screen#globals-screen-var-draworigin

• more value range types (.., =.., ..=, =..=) 7caa8a09a
• add ComboAdjust for getting combo position offset by some pixels 799c50086

Bug Fixes

• System menu mouse responsiveness c87cc947f  

  Holding left-click and dragging across menus now allows going through multiple 'submenus' at once, including going back up to clicked-on parent menus. These were features of the old menu system, which were lost during the system upgrade.

• prevent crash when loading midi with 32 tracks b1094de6d
• actually fix loading tile data for old 1.90 quests 17d5fb84c  

  2.55.7 (commit be55516) attempted to fix this, but used the wrong path to the classic quest. This commit fixes the path, but uses a new qst file with only the tile data (since classic_1st.qst is going to be removed).

  See: https://discord.com/channels/876899628556091432/1289597114594103378

Player

• 'Platform' ffcs teleporting the player as the screen loads 93a5429a8
• Game time shows in-game, even when you've 'cheated' 0578ac021
• show hero position in minimap for most special screens 08f27d9c9  

  In the original Zelda, the dot in the minimap rendered even in special screens, except for dungeon passageways. ZC was never rendering for any special screens. Now, even item cellar / guy special rooms will render the dot on the screen the player came from.

• update dmap charted state more reliably 7ee836aed
• fix bad memory access when checking for sword tap 2895858aa
• prevent OOB related to bridges in HeroClass::checkchest 79b897537
• prevent many crashes related to sprite list being full e4cd9b3af
• off-by-one error in y-position world bounds for a few hero attacks

    Relevant changes:

  • fix(zc): more off-by-one errors 73d8493c7

• F5 map snapshot works again 00824cc75
• some collision issues related to 4-way movement with no-gridlock enabled. acc401cc9
• broken 'Z_Eventlog output related to ExStates [13f619b80`](https://github.com/ZQuestClassic/ZQuestClassic/commit/13f619b80794145aa36ddfeacb9cbf9eeef5cd0f)
• prevent crash when loading save files from 3.0 b9f3f3184

Editor

• lockblock/chest combo wizard bad field for counter amount 52a0b3d9d
• Mixed weapon listers now show 'E ' before enemy weapons 12a65f01f  

  Previously, they would, ex., list 'Magic' twice, once for the lweapon and once for the eweapon. This changes it to list 'Magic' and 'E Magic' separately. This does NOT change listers showing only eweapons, such as the enemy editor's attack field.

• 'BtnCounter' subscreen widget ui was crunched 535f42a6c

ZScript Standard Library (std.zh)

• wrap angle in AngleDir4 and AngleDir8 679ac99f4

ZScript

• keep modifications made during last frames before scrolling b481d37f2  

  When scrolling between screens, scripts can run for a few frames just before scrolling begins, but modifications to the temporary screen were not persisting during the actual scroll.

• prevent many out-of-bounds reads/writes d249a6bc3
• use correct upper limit when setting itemdata Tile 5a1f6d425
• properly revert scope when processing class f2ec202d7

Refactors

Editor

• better error messages related to loading enhanced music files 199c902a5
• drop "Load Tileset" and consolidate loading tilesets via File>New 8f83d0370

Tests

• add nargads_trail_crystal_crusades/ffc_carryover.zplay bfc0ee182
• add freeform_shutters.zplay e6ddc2633

CI

2.55.8

View a summary of what's new in 2.55.

Features

• trigger flag 'Only Grounded Weapons' 20e29e5d6  

  Makes weapons that are in the air NOT trigger the combo (until they land)

• subscreen counters can have separate color when "full" d815cfb3a

Editor

• 'Whistle' item editor help text 87733ac41
• large corner option for dungeon carving autocombo mode 99e126345
• -smart-assign CLI switch to compile + assign 88d94ba3c  

  Example usage:

  ./zeditor.exe -smart-assign your_quest.qst

• Item animation previews now preview 'flash' 03f304cc3
• add Cambria as tileset option 7d41dad8b
• hotkey for 'Show FFCs' (no default keybind) 28f57197c

ZScript

• allow trailing commas in enum/array body declarations fefc046a6

Bug Fixes

• correct bad version number used in 2.55 Alpha 86 fa022f93b
• number picker dialog not using proper starting value 8c1b7066b  

  fixes some dialogs in Init Data

• prevent crash when there are too many door combo sets 1a8794c71
• Lift gloves with specific settings not allowing throwing e2c6edf6d  

  Gloves with Button=0 and 'Disable Item Use' set were unable to throw objects once picked up.

Player

• Push (Generic) 'Opposites Cancel' flag not working properly with 0-push directions 41abab9b6
• Add limit to genericdata->RunFrozen() recursion to prevent crashing fcfa741ba  

  Running too many frozen scripts at once caused a stack overflow crash, now it causes a script error message.

• prevent potential crash from show walkability cheat 96267d91f
• remove ladder during warp (#1017) 9d668a66b
• when charging duration of Charge Ring is 0, use default time instead (#1023) 4923c5af3
• remove jittery 1px gap when pushing blocks right/down 2a39e4d89
• step triggers ignoring z-axis 4f0026223
• triggered autowarp combos now use sidewarps eccc64d66  

  autowarps triggered by combotriggers use sidewarps. instead of tilewarps screenflags that make autowarp and sidewarp direct work with triggers now (as they should)

• Custom Bush/Slash combo sprites not spawning centered on the combo a59f93106
• incorrect dungeon check in map view 170d9237d  

  This resulted in drawing doors incorrectly.

• bombed walls drawn incorrectly during scrolling e1cff3508

Editor

• add more ? buttons to combo editor about weapon triggers 65e989e30  

  Clarified how the fire triggers work Renamed 'Any Fire' to 'Normal Fire' to better reflect how it actually works

• some lists closing dialogs randomly when rclicked 33096f847
• changing some options in options dlg wasn't updating rclick menu e5ed7a6b7
• show tile 0's actual graphic for gauge widget tile selectors 0e6f66d50
• Mouse Scroll setting not working on 4th combo column 29916995b
• typo in subscreen gauge piece 'Units per Frame' help text 09e7c5e08
• set explicit width for combo lifting drop-down lists 3ea9aac26
• typo in push flag help text 8409561af
• crash on importing combo aliases 888a5ec24
• 'delay' animation preview was calculated wrong 775850d14
• remove hidden combo selection mode toggled with spacebar (#1051) 46503dc88  

  Pressing space changed how combo selection worked in a way that often confused users. There was also no visible indication of this, so it was extra bad. This mode was perhaps useful for something in the combo selector dialog, but outside that it was seemingly not useful at all - and is now removed.

• item 'flash' not previewing on main screen 97042f4f1
• remove extraneous String, but guy is (none) warning 066fb4e6f  

  Due to various new features, this warning is no longer valid, as there are reasons to have a string with no guy, ex. Signposts

ZScript

• prevent potential crash while compiling ternary expressions 52d4ef7f6  

  Regressed 2 years ago in dd975320.

• fix codegen for long integer ^^^ constant 0 fd4d8ae25  

  This was accidentally producing 10000 instead of 1.

• correct broken clipping of draw commands in some cases 37b9ded29  

  Some draw commands clip their contents based on whether the render target is the screen or a custom bitmap. However, the way this was tracked was broken, and resulted in all draw commands in the same batch following a single custom bitmap draw command incorrectly using the clipping bounds meant for just custom bitmaps.

• properly allocate file list to prevent FileSystem->LoadDirectory() crash 346d46d03

Documentation

• link to docs.zquestclassic.com/zscript in zscript.txt, ZScript_Additions.txt 72284f478

Refactors

Editor

• rename boomerang range attribute to duration (#1048) 1657d1072
• in Load Tileset wizard, enable all clear options by default 82819fab6

ZScript Standard Library (std.zh)

• remove DMFS_SIDEVIEW since it was never implemented 29689de17

ZScript

• log errors in ghost_zh when creating an enemy fails 445c75322
• rename Game->LevelStates[]/Game->GlobalStates[] 440d29feb  

  previous names Game->LSwitches[]/Game->GSwitch[] are deprecated

• add a few functions in preparation for z3 regions e5ac9267f  

  While 2.55 won't support scrolling regions, it will still have these following functions so that scripts may be written to be compatible with 2.55 and 3.0.

  Game:

  • mapdata LoadTempScreen(int layer, int screen)
  • mapdata LoadTempScreenForComboPos(int layer, int pos)
  • mapdata LoadScrollingScreen(int layer, int screen)

   

  Screen:

  • ffc LoadFFC(int screen, int index)
  • void TriggerSecrets(int screen)

Tests

• correctly emit error when compiling unsupported ZASM 956953974  

  The -quick-compile and -smart-compile CLI switches were not correctly failing the program or printing an error message when encountering a bad ZASM command.

CI

• use macos-13 for newer clang cd7d682dd

Misc.

Editor

• add help text for conveyors about positive/negative values 240967771

2.55.7

View a summary of what's new in 2.55.

Features

Player

• show save path in game details view 213a7da40

Editor

• add "Auto-Save" and "Auto-Restart" options to test dialog 947bf60c3  

  The test dialog no longer prompts you about unsaved changes. Instead, a new option in the dialog "Auto-Save" will save for you just before launching test mode. This defaults to on, but can be disabled.

  Additionally, the existing "Auto-Restart" option was moved from the launcher to the test dialog, where it belongs.

• show error reason when failing to load quest d722f60f3
• dense forest autocombo mode bf032786e
• extension autocombo mode, for resizing things along one axis 0cd0fdd0b

Bug Fixes

• mapscr::numFFC() no longer returns 1 when there are 0 ffcs 8219f9537
• issue where double clicking could stop working in lists 7ceba6735
• load NES tiles for old quests without tile data 197b5d43b  

  Some 1.90 and older quests save no tile data if they just used the default NES graphics. That broke sometime around 2.50, resulting in crashes or random behavior when loading these rare old quests.

• [mac] Change all CTRL shortcuts to CMD, and allow CTRL in hotkeys c01ae362a  

  The hotkey system already used CMD instead of CTRL, but many old allegro shortcuts were still checking CTRL on Mac (like copy/pasting text). Now they use CMD.

  Also, can now use CTRL when configuring hotkeys on Mac.

Player

• for old quests, darknut shields no longer incorrectly break when hit with hammer 19a3a2ea5
• supress Z_eventlog when game is not active fbadf441c
• improve error handling for saves in titlescreen 471691cd8  

  • When loading a save file failed, the program would exit. Now an error message is displayed
  • Previous places that showed a generic save-related error message are now more specific
  • Fixed a few things that were causing errors related to saves when canceling during save slot creation
  • Canceling the dialog that pops up after creating a new save slot now deletes the save, rather than it defaulting to classic_1st.qst

• New mirrors hanging the game when using their 'Block' feature f7d89849f
• avoid crash on magic relections when sprite list is full fe45f6764
• handle screen transitions on slopes in sideview mode 4e4531354  

  Slopes bugged out big time when moving between screens in sideview mode, shooting players across the screen. That is now fixed, but one should avoid starting upwards-stairs on the edge of a screen, as the player still does not traverse up it when entering from the other side.

Editor

• reenable floating selection for dense forest 287e74d84
• lifted duplicate combo and combo 0 restrictions from autocombo types that did not need them. 2f2dc2015
• reset animation in item dialog on selection change a89fe8cae
• set track to 0 when updating dmap music 279fcd2fa  

  This prevents a bug where an invalid track could be selected when changing the tracker music file in the dmap editor.

• fix Preview mode not working when opened from top menu c5190ea0b
• prevent crash when saving test init data 2469c962e

ZScript

• remove a bunch of unnecessary logging 5b9d5a992
• constants at script or namespace scope counting against the global variable limit 5f58b5423
• properly handle optional params not being compile time values 748697ca7  

  If an optional parameter was not a defaulted to a compile time value, the compiler inserted a random value instead. Now it will emit an error.

• fix off-by-one error in shopdata 27f4c5e8b
• show useful error message when single-quote char string is too long ec93dabfe
• fix combodata Flag, NextData and NextCSet 1aec2f4c6  

  These were never correctly implemented.

• remove bogus error log when using ArrayCopy f5afaae9b

Documentation

ZScript

• fix order of arguments in DrawString on webdocs 11c589a84

Refactors

Player

• improve how title screen assets are loaded 7b0e780a7  

  • Use title_gfx.dat instead of default.qst. This file is smaller and so is quicker to load (200ms -> 100ms on my machine)
  • Don't reload the assets if they are already currently loaded. Previously this file was unnecessarily loaded multiple times while simply navigating the save select screens

ZScript

• remove unused ->ScriptEntry, ->ScriptOccupancy, ->ExitScript a7f06c78a
• always show script context when logging errors 48f515d04  

  Previously the "Print Script Metadata on Traces" QR had to be enabled to show what script caused an error. However, this context is always useful for debugging and so should always be displayed.

2.55.6

View a summary of what's new in 2.55.

Features

• configurable charge step for enemy rope walk style (#953) f01c2d522  

  If "Walk Attr." (aka misc attribute 10) is >0, enemies with the "Rope" walk style will use that custom value for the charging step.

• use allegro 5 for DUMB tracker audio (mod, it, s3m, xm) c8c5d3569  

  The listed tracker formats now support setting loop points in the DMap Music tab, including setting the speed / position in ZScript. Note, the only enhanced music formats that do not support these features now are: spc, gbs, vgm, gym, and nsf.

  This also happens to fix an issue where tracks that have builtin loops were incorrectly playing silence before looping.

• support delete keyboard shortcuts for most text controls e6a3ff822  

  • Ctrl+Backspace (Mac: Opt+Backspace) - deletes from cursor to next word boundrary
  • Alt+Backspace (Mac: Cmd+Backspace) - deletes from cursor to beginning of the line

Bug Fixes

• improve key input latency by simplifying d_vsync_proc cbf5f0eb6
• call allegro_exit before exit to avoid rare hang seen on linux d9b0b8d67
• generate correct version string for 1.92 quests 24de952ee
• ctrl+a,c,v work again in text fields 4280a7ef5
• use correct conversion from 6-bit to 8-bit colors db551f976  

  Multiple places converted 6-bit colors to 8-bit by just multiplying by 4, which is wrong (ex: 63 * 4 = 252, but 255 is expected). Now we use a lookup table. This fixes:

  • The hex color shown in palette and tile editors
  • various components drawn in the editor (like the minimap)
  • exporting jpg images

• prevent crash when deleting all text in some input fields b492be6b3

Player

• Damage combos with Custom Damage not working on FFCs cdf6736b5
• correctly restore sword/potion/triforce items with fairies in pre-2.55 quests 0a5af9c70
• restore palette after wavy effect 4c9bb4688  

  The wavy effect was leaving the palette slightly off what it should have been, which was making the colors slightly saturated until the next time the palette changed.

• do not ignore replay forever if save has not been played yet 5315b9e8f
• draw decorations correctly during scrolling 98ca34d88  

  Some decorations (like combo sprites) are drawn without the correct offset during screen scrolling, and worse were not disappearing after the end of the scroll (not until its animation naturally finished). Now these decoration sprites are drawn correctly during scrolling, and get removed.

• lockblocks on layer 0 no longer ignored in cave dmaps if locked door present bacf7e3d9  

  Context: https://discord.com/channels/876899628556091432/1278165595321405554

• pause music when opening player data with cheat shortcut bf75a402a
• avoid crash in Go To cheat by checking destination is valid 03db97be2  

  This cheat dialog expects you to input the screen number before any DMap xoff is applied, which can result in directing the game to load an invalid screen and crash. Now the screen is validated, and the xoff is displayed next to each DMap in the dropdown.

• fire trail weapons glow in dark rooms, just like flames 8b4b84d2c

Editor

• prevent dmap editor crash when map is no longer valid 3fdf19026
• prevent various quest report crashes 0be115688
• set the default values for patra's (2 and 3) inner eyes 5cba3160c
• reduce latency on combo page paste 35c4e18bb

ZScript

• scripts no longer use wrong context after many sprites created 1fe2717be  

  After 65536 sprites have been created without closing the player, the ID of subsequent sprites was too high for how the internal script engine stored the state for each script. This resulted in randomly using some other script's state, causing general mayhem.

• LoadDirectory always failing due to bad path validation 6cad0f194

Build

• upgrade to latest GME 9cbfda0c3  

  https://github.com/libgme/game-music-emu/compare/6b676192d98302e698ac78fe3c00833eae6a74e5...05a2aa29e8eae29316804fdd28ceaa96c74a1531

Refactors

• reduce amount of copying in readmaps f64f9497e  

  This makes loading yuurand.qst 21% faster (2445ms -> 1927ms)

2.55.5

View a summary of what's new in 2.55.

Features

Player

• add opt-in automation for uploading replays 2cee0ae2a  

  When enabled, once a week replays are uploaded to a server when the program exits. Only replays of known quests from the database are uploaded. There is also an option to manually trigger this process rather than enabling it automatically.

  Please consider enabling this, as it greatly helps out with development by allowing us to prevent bugs. This is important for any new features we add, but extremely so for the upcoming Z3 scrolling overhaul.

  See docs/replays.md for more information about the replay system.

  Removes these methods:

  • Graphics->Greyscale()
  • Graphics->Monochrome()
  • Game->GreyscaleOff()
  • Game->GreyscaleOn()

   

  None of these are used in published quests, Graphics->Tint() and Graphics->MonochromeHue() can be used instead, and removing these simplifies some rendering logic.

• remove option to configure run function name 561bb71a6

Misc.

Player

• add qst_title, qst_hash as replay meta fields dd5d65044

2.55.4

View a summary of what's new in 2.55.

Features

• add 'Note' item wizard, notes can play relative strings now b55a47b39
• add enemy flag to control if affected by "Kill All Enemies" b102f3fb0
• add option to use the native OS dialog to select/create files 5953252f5  

  A new button allows using the OS dialog to select/create a file. This can be used directly by setting the Native File Dialog option in the launcher.

Editor

• show CSet in combo pages b6b0f0365
• hex entry for string control code dialog 6d5b46655

ZScript

• allow function return and parameter types to use [] 9a797f67c  

  This doesn't enforce array types, but allows 3.0 scripts to be backwards-compatabile with 2.55

Bug Fixes

Player

• npc scripts for many enemies ending after one frame 5c44cb6ba  

  Enemies larger than one tile use a different code path than other enemies, and that path was mistakenly only allowing scripts to run for a single frame.

Editor

• prevent invalid string access resulting in crash a29a80185

ZLauncher

• hide update tab on linux 843167862

Build

• add cmake install commands for linux 139839098

• set default install folder on linux to ~/zquestclassic b982a1f5a
• generate changelog when doing linux install 592236643

Refactors

• remove expensive busy loop in render throttler 218b38ec0  

  Replaces a busy loop with a much cheaper mutex condition variable to control FPS.

  The maxfps option now works for values less than 60 fps.

Player

• add cache to generation of translucency tables 10d8b84c0  

  This took up a lot of CPU time during the titlescreen and during animations such as screen wipes / triforce pickup / etc.

ZScript Standard Library (std.zh)

• delete unused and unwanted stuff 5291c4cd2  

  These files have been deleted from the std library:

  • std_zh/assert.zh
  • std_zh/astar.zh
  • std_zh/infostring.zh
  • std_zh/math.zh
  • std_zh/std_legacy.zh
  • std_zh/std_meta.zh
  • std_zh/std_update.zh
  • std_zh/std_user_defs.zh
  • std_zh/std_vars.zh
  • std_zh/weapon.zh

   

  These files either do not belong in a standard library (too specific), are not finished, or otherwise provide little to no value so are just a maintenance burden.

ZScript

• reduce the scripts included by default 0891e663c  

  This removes some scripts that aren't useful, or aren't a good fit for default inclusion.

ZScript

• remove ZASM debugger b3b79f66e  

  This was already made inaccessible from the GUI in 1da2d02, but now it is removed entirely. Work on a real debugger will begin soon.

• tweak Region-> and screen script internals in preparation for z3 e02113363  

  Region->OriginScreen is now of type screendata, and Region->OriginScreenIndex is added to return just the screen index.

  Similar change made to Region->GetScreenForComoboPos(int pos).

• use faster register allocation in jit c6da3fe63  

  asmjit's register allocation was using a bin-packing algorithm. This turns out to be very slow for the assembly that our jit compiler emits, since the vast majority of variables exist for only a single basic block. Instead of bin-packing, the much faster and simpler linear scan register allocation algorithm is now used.

  For a very large 200k-instruction script, compilation went from 19.5s to 2.8s (a 85% decrease).

  With this improvement, the 20k-instruction limit for jit has been removed. One example of the impact of this is that yuurand.zplay, which the jit compiler was previously mostly disabled for since most of its scripts are huge, now has all its scripts compiled. This increased the average FPS for yuurand.zplay from ~320 to ~2000, while still reducing the total time spent compiling.

  Theoretically this change in register allocation may produce slower runtime code, but there was no drop in FPS realized in the maths.zs stress test.

  The first row of the .tsv (tab separated values) file are the column names, followed by an example row to designate where the first three lines begin and end for each string (but you can add more lines than that).

  For best results in a spreadsheet, "Freeze" the first two rows and use a monospace font for the "message" column.

• add options for window size, and cap max default window size 47b273d89  

  [ZLAUNCH] window_width, window_height in zcl.cfg

  Cap max default size to 2x

Bug Fixes

• prevent clock shifts from hanging the program b379a0ed9  

  Allegro 5 doesn't use a monotonic clock that ignores suspended time, so day light saving shifts or even hibernating your computer can result in Allegro trying to do so much work to "catch up" that it hangs the program. See https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/pull/1511 for more.

• swords not updating properly, sometimes 915670436
• old quest subscreen minimap titles overlapping dc548320e
• placing flags on layers not marking the layer screen as "valid" 8c74b7296
• ensure file is closed when qst fails to load c702f24fc
• retain monitor resolution for fullscreen mode 981c6c1f9  

  Previously, the maximum monitor resolution would be used when using fullscreen mode. That was bad because it messes up the window layout of anything else on that monitor. Now we create fullscreen displays without changing the resolution.

  Also, no longer destroy and recreate the display to change fullscreen/windowed mode. Switching between is much smoother now, and the code got a bit simpler and safer.

• changer ffcs counting for trigger groups and similar effects (they shouldn't) e9d91d8fa

Player

• Music not properly changing when using some warp types (ex. SCC warp) 0aef5384b
• extra pushing allowed per screen 8a798d0dd
• cheats menu being greyed out when it shouldn't be b24044c87
• new respawn points not accounting for dmap offset d90410dcd
• initialize fadevolume to avoid undefined behavior 437c27b25  

  This fixes a bug where music would randomly be silent or extremely loud.

  Also, cap the volume used to play music to 255, to avoid ever playing it so loud again.

• set volume correctly when music changes with only fading in or out 9274a675b  

  For example, if the new music has a fade in frame duration of 0, and the old music has a fade out frame duration of >0, then the new music would incorrectly have its volume stuck at 0%.

• menu bar unaligned with dropdown due to menu using int scaling f8222be89

• prevent calling dmap script twice in scrolling dmap warp e8edc34e9
• set previously unset save_t write_to_disk in all places adca2b376
• not showing error dialogs in title screen, and unbreak -only switch c32a29d1d
• clear spin state during screen scroll 7ca93107b  

  This avoid a ghost sword visible during scrolling, and also prevents a nasty bug where the player's action state would be frozen until hit.

• prevent crash in save creation by resetting global vars 2b3c4119d  

  When a game is loaded, many global variables are initialized to a known state. These variables were not reset when the game ends and returns to the title screen. However, save creation happens to call code that checks the active subscreen pointer, which was invalidated. Accessing this could randomly crash or corrupt the program.

  Now, these global variables are reset also just before loading the title screen.

• prevent failing to save after continue 870510c96
• lift glove 'disable item use' not stopping sword SFX from playing 3e6fe6e05
• remember last save slot position when returning to save select screen a3bc81309
• [win32] invisible hero because of MSVC bug 511934cea
• remember cheat on continue game 99675afa2
• 'Custom Weapon' itemclasses rounding down step speed 8f4b63428
• restore option to scale display to full window size b618eb983  

  This broke when the display was fixed to only show at the correct aspect ratio. Default is still as before, but now the "Force Integer Values for Scale" option works again.

• still allow for game area to be stretched, ignoring aspect ratio 381583118
• ignore gamepad input when window is not active 646ef8f08
• weird newer movement edge-case 0dd159abb
• opening spacebar map triggering some secret effects on the current screen c1d9c1dca
• lens unintentionally making enemies sometimes invisible 1a9273955
• lens unintentionally making enemies sometimes invisible 111569113
• Divine Escape particles sometimes flying in wrong directions d2472cceb
• crash when running replay without any real saves f90cb0253
• remove unnecessary absolute path check for standalone mode saves ed4afb985
• show final game frame when opening/closing subscreen 07dddb5e9  

  For older quests utilizing none of the QRs related to "cool scrolling", the subscreen open/close crawl would show a version of the game frame that was missing a few things, like enemy or player sprites.

  This should allow us to simplify the rendering (no need to render most things twice to a secondary bitmap), and just looks better.

• do not stretch GUI fad67d962
• tall grass on layers not applying its sfx/sprite 76f952fc9
• fix snapshot with NOSUBSCR not supplying a palette and not accounting for NOSUBSCROFFSET 45bf325cb
• set default volume to 100% instead of 25% 8a4f7cf2e
• prevent grid aligning while jumping, which broke jumping for some old quests 2d8a18875
• for replay mode, whistle sfx pauses game for number of frames proportional to sfx length instead of 0 frames 1f38de5b0
• hero action "swimhit" incorrectly unset due to broken isSwimming() check 8b10722d8
• combo cycling reset too early for animations with frame skips 601cba74f  

  Turns out this never worked properly!

• defer deletion of sprites to end of animate logic 548c3e15d  

  This fixes a crash caused when a sprite deletes itself in middle of its animate logic.

• prevent OOB access for darkroom ditherrectfill 07dfbbe3f  

  When scrolling, this function could be told to grab a line of the bitmap memory outside its bounds, which resulted in a crash.

• reset global variables on continue game for replays f3b34561f
• actually stop mp3/ogg 994d743dc  

  Due to a bug ogg and mp3 formats were really just "paused" when told to stop, so setting the volume afterwards would result in resuming music that was meant to be over.

• ambient/background sfx volume not being set 52594bfc7  

  The recent removal of "digi_volume" made all background sfx play at full volume. Fixed that.

  Additionally, fixed a bug in the sound dialog that skipped the first sfx when adjusting currently playing sounds to the new volume. That first sfx is often a background sfx.

• various slope improvements, like fixing ffc slopes f80e024ca
• fix mirror shield not resetting the last used mirror combo position 2c375403a
• save select screen not showing new hp after save->reset 8d15352e5
• load default quest for sfx when loading replay 4bc56aef2  

  Quests before custom sfx rely on the default quest providing sfx, but that wasn't being loaded when playing back a replay. So it would either use whatever the last quest loaded, or have nothing, which was the case for the replay test script.

• use correct graphic when holding up purchase from bottle shop 03d123012
• apply BS swim sprites compat rule to Zelda 3000 qst 5f7ab3c23  

  This QR is applied to all 1.90 quests, but Zelda 3000 was saved in 1.92 and this visual bug was overlooked.

• consume button presses in subscreen menu 23f44b9f6  

  The subscreen refactor ~6 months ago resulted in button presses not being eaten. One side effect of this was the item selection sfx playing for every frame the button was down, instead of the intended one time.

• greyed out pasting in string list f2440669d
• create test init data relative to qst init, not base init fadfe7d74  

  This was originally done this way to avoid changing test init data when the quest's actual init data changed, but that maybe is not as useful as the other approach.

  Also very simply fixes the problem of screen data (and other init values) not being properly set.

• hide unimplemented enemies 875589f19
• handle error instead of crashing if package export fails 53f7a7253
• stop clearing screen when editing palette 47aaddd62  

  Since the render refactor, we haven't needed to clear the screen when changing palettes, since this dialog is rendered to a different bitmap than whats in the background.

  Setting item->X,Y on fairy items additionally sets the position of the corresponding fairy enemy sprite. However, the getter returns the item coordinate. This resulted in unexpected behavior from something harmless like item->X = item->X causing the engine fairy movement to halt.

• "Copy URL" in player now uses correct test params 8b5eaf56d
• sync fs when writing save order txt file e006c07a7
• quick save creation link working again 9e4c8a90f  

  The quest gamedata field was inadvertently set to 0 because the save file was prematurely selected before being saved for the first time, which prevented anything in saves_do_first_time_stuff from sticking.

Build

• fix missing libpng for web build a6c345e5a
• fix missing libogg for web build a5254efa0
• upgrade to latest asmjit 65ae72c6d  

  Resolves MSVC release mode bug: https://github.com/asmjit/asmjit/issues/427

• add default file for compiler "signature" 26e8cd4db  

  This is to make the build just work in a clean checkout until I get around to removing this pointless thing altogether.

Refactors

• remove unused 'VSync' option (it didn't do anything) 74bbc05b7
• key files d0864dc8d  

  Now work from the folder the quest is in OR the exe is in, and saves to the folder the quest is in. Also cleaned up the code for handling reading key files.

• move global inits from init_game to new init_game_vars c4f5c11ae
• make lamp_paid not static for replay determinism 534d82e91
• remove ZASM debugger from menu 377981e09  

  You may still activate this with [CONSOLE] print_ZASM = 1 in zc.cfg, but the option is no longer in the player menu. This will be removed entirely soon - it's so slow it can lock up a computer, and not useful enough to keep around.

  We may introduce a proper debugger in the future for ZScript to serve the purpose the ZASM debugger tried to.

• remove extra draws to scrollbuf in draw_screen d57d0318b
• remove digi_music volume control e426c5d1c  

  digi_music is a global volume control for all allegro 4 music streams, which is only used for GME (so all those chiptune formats). But we already apply emusic_volume (enhanced music) to all non-MIDI music, so digi_music was at best redundant, and at worse a confusing knob that only modified some music formats.

  It's been removed from the Sound dialog, and now defaults to 255 (100%). It can still be modified via scripts, though this should be changed to just set/read emusic_volume sometime in the near future.

  BTW - ~6 months ago OGG was changed to use Allegro 5 instead of 4, which means at that point digi_music no longer had any effect on OGG volume.

• remove music buffer setting 9a6ae020b  

  This only applied to it/xm/s3m/mod music. There's no need to expose this to users. Instead, always use 128KB as a buffer size.

ZScript

• internal label errors now prevent compile 1b0d63bfa
• add 'itemdata->LAttributes[]' to access attributes as a full 32-bit long value 83f9d2d03
• add Region in anticipation of z3 scrolling 403c19750  

  To enable scripts to work in 2.55 and in a future release with z3 scrolling, we are adding a non-functional Region:

  • Region->Width: width in pixels (today, always 256)
  • Region->Height: height in pixels (176)
  • Region->ScreenWidth: width in screens (1)
  • Region->ScreenHeight: height in screens (1)
  • Region->NumCombos: number of combo positions (176)
  • Region->ID: region id (0 - meaning just a normal 1x1 area)
  • Region->OriginScreen: top-left screen in the region
  • Region->GetScreenForComboPos(int pos): given a combo position, returns the screen index associated with it
  • Region->TriggerSecrets(int screen_index): trigger secrets for given screen. The screen must be in the region

   

  For example, if a script uses Region->NumCombos instead of 176 to iterate all the combos in the current area, it will work in both regions and non-regions. Additionally you should use ComboAt(x, y) rather than anything else to translate between pixel coordinates and a combo position.

• mark combo->CSet deprecated, in favor for the better named ->CSet2 81cd99579

2.55 Alpha 120

Features

• Add 'Screen->Data[]', 'Screen->DataSize' script data array for every screen. b080de56c

Player

• added a setting to put a limit on 'uncapped' FPS so the game still runs at playable speeds 5f9a3d367

Editor

• Pressing 'esc' while zoomed in on the minimap now unzooms (instead of trying to quit zq) 918cdafca

• script access for player and enemy flicker and flash effects 4a1bf1223

ZUpdater

• add release channel to builds to specify where zupdater looks for updates bb9023ea8  

  This adds a "channel" configuration to releases that limits what releases the updater will consider when looking for new versions. This allows us to configure a "2.55" release channel, and prevents the from updating into 3.0 releases while still allowing it to grab new releases from 2.55.

  This is necessary long term as it allows 2.55 users getting easy bug fix updates without moving them to 3.0, which should only be done explicitly.

• various issues with the default display size for windowed mode 20f6fa908  

  Instead of using the monitor scale / DPI to multiply the size we set the window to, it now looks at the monitor resolution and uses the largest integer multiple of the base resolution (256x240 for zplayer, 456x342 for zeditor and zlauncher). This always takes into account the scaling of the OS (the monitor width/height changes when you modify that). If a window size is saved from a previous run, it will use that instead -- unless it won't fit, then it goes back to getting the largest resolution for the given monitor. More details:

  • Completely change how the initial display is sized for windowed mode. Instead of using the monitor DPI to scale up a base resolution, default to as large a resolution as possible while maintaining an integer scale. This particular commit retains the previous behavior for Windows, but the next one will move Windows to the new behavior (separate commits just in case a revert is necessary)
  • Set the desired window size for zeditor before creating the display, not after.
  • Use the base resolution in zplayer for the allegro 5 screen bitmap, instead of 2x the base resolution. Should improve rendering time a bit
  • More reliable behavior on mac. Previously would possibly cut off top part of screen and mess up mouse events if the initial display height was bigger than the available height
  • Set default for fullscreen option on Mac back to off. On newer M2 Macs fullscreen display creation is bugged. Fine for Windowed -> then Maximize, and fine for older Macs, but for now just set the default to windowed mode to be safe

• simplify display size for windows too a049b6ce6
• set window title as early as possible to reduce flash of text d7312b9dc
• mark render item transform dirty when changing parent f59d8b314  

  This bug resulted in the tooltip / highlighter being offset when the window size changes.

• bomb equippability not respecting cost counter customization c7ffbf652
• many issues with the 'Doors' dialog 6e97f2aaf  

  Also adds new '(None)' door type. The player will not 'auto-walk' when entering from a '(None)' door, and no combos are placed when setting one in zq.

• use simpler temp file creation for all platforms 5018d9e54  

  This should resolve problems with making save files observed on some Linux setups.

• ack halt/resume draw events from allegro 438a18c1a  

  Without this, the [osx] allow_live_resize = false configuration option results in the window freezing on resize.

Refactors

• memcpy the buffer in PACKFILE fread 8f547f8f5  

  This saves ~500ms on my Mac when loading Yuurand.qst

• speed up copy_tile / tilesize 01e13ec0a
• use safe cstr reading functions b1a7b8d43
• add bounded_vec container type 9edaa62a2
• render a4->a5 bitmaps in first pass 8ef8665a7
• reorder field initializer list to fix compiler warnings 8d64f8374
• simplify render tree drawing b52d7eaea  

  This adds prepare and render functions to the RenderTreeItem class. Also makes them virtual so that new classes can be made to represent a render item. The minimap drawing code was moved to this.

  Consolidates the logic for when a render item is dirty, and moves allegro 4 bitmap handling into a new derived class.

• use a single bitmap for dialog tint 8a8ef4667
• add bitmap_flags to rti 6af0dcc23
• Init Data / Gamedata acb7c8481  

  Change how Init Data is stored and saved to the quest file (and rearrange the dialog slightly) - Allow setting mcguffin level state for all levels in init data/cheats instead of just levels 1-8 - Init data health can be in HP instead of just in Hearts - Can set init values for script counters 26-100 (was missing before) - Change how data is stored and saved to the save file

• cache zasm script size be7c81d3c
• move zcsound source files to src/sound 09dfea4eb
• remove zcmusicd.cpp 15628e6f3
• move ffc set data / changer out of ffc.cpp and to src/zc 3a6d2d394  

  This is the first step to moving ffc.cpp to zcbase.

• cleanup combo position handling, optimize spotlight code 44cb8bb72
• cache config read for use_linear_bitmaps 4c922be5e
• remember previous screen clip for scrolling pane 7a8021809
• avoid copying combo everywhere 0ecfa71f6
• limit default window size to 3x the base resolution, and add a buffer so to always be less than the monitor size 2f6cf5a72
• unpack 4-bit tiles when quest is loaded ff01c741b  

  This reduces CPU usage by ~3%.

  Previously, 4-bit tiles were only unpacked just before being drawn. Unpacking means converting into a format ready for drawing, which is somewhat slow to do in functions as hot as tile drawing. Now, when a qst is loaded all 4-bit tiles are unpacked in memory. When saving a qst the reverse happens. This change has no impact on the qst file format.

• avoid copy when drawing tile without any transformation 973303a3c  

  This reduces CPU usage by ~7%.

• make get_qr faster by unpacking the bits ahead of time 990eb380b  

  This reduces CPU usage by ~5.5%.

• Split graphical weapon init code, in prep for ignite sprites 9ca67c7b0
• make tooltips simpler to install, and map prev/next tooltip ca09be0e2
• remove unused single_instance 618d9986f
• minor combo alias optimizations/cleanup 8d1d73e44

Player

• do far less work in platform_fallthrough 8861f51f1
• do less work in run_gswitch_timers 78af21af8
• avoid costly script object dealloc when destroying dummy item c22e9d68f
• use more accurate but slower tile drawing when drawing on edge of bitmap c1601e941
• respect bitmap clip in tile drawing functions, remove usage of temp_buf in screen draw a42586c11
• totally remove temp_buf in screen draw, and masked_blit 93f25b690  

  This refactor reduces CPU usage by roughly 6%.

  This results in some unavoidable minor graphical changes for quests with the QR "Subscreen Appears Above Sprites" disabled. Specifically, sprites (such as jumping enemies, weapons, etc) continue to draw over the subscreen background as before, but now also draw over the individual subscreen UI elements. In most cases this looks better, and better follows what the QR text says will happen.

ZScript

• replace script debug_id with composite id (type, index) 8e6c48a21  

  The previous hack of using a global variable incremented in the constructor had strange behavior, and would result in different ids given when reloading a quest.

Web

• make quest url a bit friendlier 8aa27f494
• use gzip instead of allegro PACKFILE compression dee67d885

  And it's a bit faster to load a qst in the Web version when it doesn't have to decompress it. For Yuurand.qst, loading time (including downloading) from 17.4s to 14.5s

• better indicate download progress for compressed assets 3fb07895d
• support default open URL for tilesets b1e6584dd

2.55 Alpha 119

Features

• subscreen scripts, ZScript subscreen access  

  Add 'Subscreen Scripts', which run while the engine active subscreen is open. Add ZScript types 'subscreendata', 'subscreenpage', 'subscreenwidget'

    Relevant changes:

  • feat: subscreen scripts, ZScript subscreen access cb2d6b521
  • feat: 'subscreendata' datatype implementation 64026507c
  • feat: 'subscreenpage' datatype implementation 0d049c655
  • feat: 'subscreenwidget' datatype implementation for shared vars 5e8e6dcc8
  • feat: start 'subscreenwidget' datatype implementation for type vars 57649a824
  • feat: more 'subscreenwidget' datatype implementation for type vars 9a8334236
  • feat: more 'subscreenwidget' datatype implementation for type vars 5c0c1a9ef
  • feat: finish 'subscreenwidget' datatype implementation for type vars 252033a21
  • fix(zc): fix a couple subscreen drawing issues e82b08532
  • refactor: start implementing subscreen scripts e19d0fda1

• lightbeams now respect solid ffcs/pushblocks (compat QR'd) 8555d9430
• 'Mirror (Custom)' combo type for customizable reflection 5c06dfcf4
• Spotlight combos work on ffcs, fixed lightbeam-ffc hitboxes fd039e808
• Subscreen widgets now have unique labels, and display coordinates 4553336cd  

  ZScript can get a subscreen by it's label. Display coordinates are the coordinates that make up the bounding box rectangle for a widget.

• change grid-snapping on FFCs, blue squares, item square, etc c4f28895e  

  Now, these all snap to the half-grid by default, but do not snap to the grid while 'Shift' is held.

• new DMap editor behavior where titles are no longer limited to 20 chars and intro strings use a string table dropdown 6bd8a9acb

Player

• add command "-create-save " cc459c65b
• remove encoding layer for save files a0c81ae88  

  Just like the previous work to remove the encoding layer for qst files.

  Previous save files can still be read, but when next saved will no longer be encoded.

  Should be a tad faster to read and write, especially reading in bulk as the title screen no longer needs to read the entire file to decode, when it only needs the first part of the file.

  Also changes save file writing to disk to instead write to a temporary and move to the destination when done. This may prevent a source of save file corruption.

Editor

• 'Highlight Current Layer' option, when enabled dithers out non-active layers. 69267fb51
• "Open Tile Page" now saves which page was last opened f6f3090e1
• options to control the size and color of the dither when using "Highlight Current Layer" 08be9cd24
• added cset to the autocombo preview, made autocombo engravings in the combo list draw over the selector 466c7b5ba
• added a popup when using an invalid autocombo explaining why it's invalid da634dba1
• added a "Connect to Edge" flag to certain autocombos, changing how they interact with the edge of the screen 7e0ddb89a

• double click in text procs selects all text d7f12e957
• option for tooltip highlight color (instead of pink hardcoded) 0036f21c1
• reworked double click in text procs to select by word a3bfa4a75
• checkerboard background option for invalid data 39549c142

• dragged items in the subscreen editor can be snapped to the grid with ctrl 03274b2d8
• 'File->Load Tileset' to start a new quest from a tileset 211e53bff
• subscreen wizards for generating item grids and counter blocks 365e95fd2
• "connect to solids" flag for basic and relational autocombos a28a3efa7

ZScript Standard Library (std.zh)

• add 'SF_LAST', convert SF_ constants to enum 053b63911

ZScript

• 'auto' variable declarations 1b06c63ea
• 'sprintf' will resize the buffer if it is too small. bc9fc80f8

Visual Studio Code Extension

• update keyword highlighting 2dad50771

Web

• migrate to new database manifest and use CDN 5c823a081  

  • Quests and associated music are now hosted at data.zquestclassic.com, via DigitalOcean's CDN. This should make downloading faster.
  • Add preloads for the manifest and the wasm

   

  New format for quest manifest:

  • Supports multiple releases of a quest (creating a new release each time the contents have changed). Currently always shows the latest, but when a save slot is first created it locks to that version. Later, will add a way to upgrade/alert user that there is a new version for an existing save
  • Add an approval bit, so we can be granular about what quests are published and playable in the web version

   

  Drive-by bug fixes:

  • bug preventing saving files (see 2803f8 and 98f366)
  • bug preventing editor from persisting qst file due to missing filesystem sync
  • bug preventing copy/download browser local files from showing when user opts out of mounting a directory
  • (for all platforms) bug that changes .sav files to use a relative path (to the configured quest directory) for the associated qst file, instead of an absolute path. Save files were portable before because of some non-trivial magic when resolving a qst path, but this makes it more explicitly portable

• reduce amount of preloaded data 24e1eee5c  

  zc.data is 5 MB now, instead of 15+

Bug Fixes

• active global script double-running due to warp script check 28d9aaf3d
• wrong 'maxdigits' on old subscreen counters 8c4b2b9b7
• fixed memory leak when changing enhanced music tracks c9bcdb22a
• favorite combos corruption when loading 1.92 or older quests cca598afc
• some small errors related to subscreens/subscreen scripting d2721853c
• [linux] use /var/tmp instead of /tmp for save-then-move 2803f8fcb  

  /tmp is for files that are not expected to persist. When running under flatpak, a tmpfs is mounted to /tmp, so we cannot move files from that to a real physical drive. This resulted in saving failing.

  /var/tmp is the better choice, since files there are expected to persist and so will always be a physical drive.

• [linux] for flatpak, create tmp file in app directory 98f366eda
• moveflags not set correctly for pre-2.50 enemies 58d73e0cf
• replays depending on wrong moveflags 8c359cdb3  

  not sure of a better commit title

• fixed unresponsive input in SCC menus e394d09cd
• fixed line heights after drawing tiles to strings with SCCs f05923d8c
• check if A wpn slot when doing bomb deselect 9bc8776cb  

  This is a potential fix for a bug that prevents the sword/A slot from working after using the last bomb. The bug is very difficult to reproduce, so not certain to be the fix.

• removed leftover references to favorite combo aliases 8a122dd40
• use transform matrices for render tree badeba084  

  The previous adhoc system supported translation and scaling in a very broken way, making it impossible to construct a non-trivial render item hierarchy.

  Now it uses proper transforms matrices. Implemented with dirty flags - each render item has a world matrix (and inverse, for mouse lookups) that only update when the underlying transformations change (or one of its parents)

2.55 Alpha 117

Features

• Add 75 new 'Custom Counters' (26-100) c30c57aa6
• Music and sound stuff galore!  

  • Enhanced music using MP3 and OGG can now be given loop points and crossfade timings in the DMap editor. The music will then loop at those points and fade in and out with those timings.
  • Scripts have new ways to interact with enhanced music: GetMusicPos(), SetMusicPos(), SetMusicSpeed(), GetMusicLength(), and SetMusicLoop()
  • Scripts can also play music with crossfades using CrossfadeEnhancedMusic().
  • Scripts can play sounds with different, volume, pan, frequency, and looping with PlaySoundEx().

  // Turns a SFX into an instrument by playing it back at different frequencies
  ffc script Piano
  {
     void run()
     {
         // Frequency values and keys for different notes
         int hz[] =   {16350L, 17320L, 18350L, 19450L, 20600L, 21830L, 23120L, 24500L, 25960L, 27500L, 29140L, 30870L, 32700L};
         int keys[] = {KEY_Z,  KEY_S,  KEY_X,  KEY_D,  KEY_C,  KEY_V,  KEY_G,  KEY_B,  KEY_H,  KEY_N,  KEY_J,  KEY_M,  KEY_COMMA};
         int sz = SizeOfArray(hz);
         int sfx = Rand(60); // Pick a random SFX
         while(true)
         {
             for(int i=0; i<sz; ++i)
             {
                 if(Input->KeyPress[keys[i]])
                 {
                     int j = (hz[i]/hz[0]) * 22050L; // Multiply by the sample rate of most default SFX
                     Audio->PlaySoundEx(sfx, 100, 0, j);
                 }
             }
  
             Waitframe();
         }
     }
  }

  • Scripts can also adjust sounds mid playback with AdjustSound() and track their completion with GetSoundCompletion().

  ffc script AdjustSound
  {
     void run()
     {
         // Play the sound panned to the left at half volume
         Audio->PlaySoundEx(SFX_SECRET, 50, -128, -1, false);
         // Run until the sound has stopped playing
         while(Audio->GetSoundCompletion(SFX_SECRET)!=-1)
         {
             int pct = Audio->GetSoundCompletion(SFX_SECRET) / 100;
             // Pan the sound to the right while increasing in volume
             Audio->AdjustSound(SFX_SECRET, Lerp(50, 100, pct), Lerp(-128, 127, pct), -1, false);
             Waitframe();
         }
     }
  }

  • Scripts can set MusicRefresh to prevent music from resetting when changing screens

• add software updater  

  ZUpdater looks for the newest versions, and allows you to download and replace your current installation with it.

  You can run zupdater.exe directly, or you can use the new "Update" tab in ZLauncher. ZLauncher also has an option to auto-focus the tab on startup if a new version is detected.

  Note: this feature currently requires Python 3 to be installed.

  Also: drive-by fixes for launching a process on unix, though the updater feature doesn't use this.

Player

• split saves into individual files b6b151149  

  Each save slot created is now stored in a separate file, kept in the saves/ folder. This path is configurable with [zeldadx] save_folder.

  An existing zc.sav file is split into individual files, and the original is moved to saves/backup.

  The order of the save slots is maintained by saves/order.txt. You may freely rearrange the lines of this text file, though you must do so when the program is not open for it to have any effect.

  Any save file that gets deleted will simply be moved to saves/deleted. If you ever want it truly gone, you can delete the folder yourself. If you want to restore it, just move it back to saves/.

  Individual save files are only loaded into memory as needed, and only partially if only needed to display info on the title screen (like the name, icon, hearts, etc).

  The -standalone switch still works the same, but the save file is at saves/standalone.sav.

• change save slot limit from 15 to ∞ 1e0794e25
• copy save file to backup folder on every save bfa22af7b
• support more than one qst file for -standalone mode 7ebfcf8d3  

  Previously, standalone mode only worked for a single quest file at a time. For example, run -standalone game.qst once and game.qst becomes the only quest that will work with the save file generated. Now, each quest will use a save file derived from the name of the quest file.

  You can also provide a specific path if you like. It will be resolved relative to the save/ folder (you can also use an absolute path). Example usage: -standalone game.qst me.sav

• record music and sfx position for scripts in replays 7c1bd3b22

Editor

• Remember 'View Layer 2/3 as BG' setting e04aeaf47
• add Shift+Minus/Plus for changing combo in combo editor f77eb091b
• configure multiple init datas for test mode 44d7ecf90  

  Test Mode now allows you to customize test-only init data. You can make multiple init datas. They are saved to your zquest.cfg. A basic name is auto-assigned, but you can set your own name by modifying your config.

  When you create a new test init data, your current quest's init data is used as the starting point. Later modifying the quest init data has no impact on your test init datas.

  You can also directly modify the init data values in the config, though the format is not documented anywhere.

ZLauncher

• add button to view current release notes 76ad2c2a0

Web

• support music crossfading, set position, set speed 61104f63f  

  This drops the web-specific implementation of zcmusic via SDL_mixer. It was only done that way because we weren't building any sound libraries from source, so using emscripten's port system + SDL_mixer was a workaround. But SDL_mixer only supports a single music channel, so it cannot do crossfading, so it's time to drop it.

Bug Fixes

• cutscene combos being incompatible with replays b6e7680f8
• set exe path string to empty if fail to get exe path 728d3ce03
• changer ffc interactions, ffc timer interactions 9ad10b881
• use ut8 encoding for config and filenames 134c2fd7a  

  Config values can now carry non-ascii values. This required also configuring allegro to treat file paths as UTF8.

  Fonts have varying support for characters outside ASCII characters. Probably we currently have no fonts that adequately cover non-latin characters. While you may see gibberish in the file picker, files should still load just fine.

• pushable blocks not respecting lens layer hiding/revealing c4f332289
• support leading dot in file selector filter 9ffaa4cec  

  This recently broke loading zplay files because the constant for the extension changed from zplay to .zplay, and the old file selector expect no leading dot, unlike every other file path API known to man.

Player

• split save code from title.cpp, remove .icn ab10ed1e5  

  .icn files contained just the color data for each ring variant needed by the title screen. The idea was to avoid loading each quest just to show a single tile graphic. But, this same data is already in the gamedata save structure, so we don't need to maintained a separate file doing the same. The greatly simplifies much of the code dealing with displaying these icons.

• remove skipicon and print_metadata_for_each_save_slot config options 7a45e5691

Features

• Torch combos support shapes, dirs, new Square shape. 57f6cea0c

  • Cursor can be allowed to select empty slots (Freeform Subscreen Cursor)
  • Can be set to require pressing B to equip (Always Press To Equip)
  • Items have 'Non-equippable' flag, allowing them to be cursor-selected without allowing them on buttons.

• add quest package export for standalone app 669ed4833  

  In the ZQuest File -> Export menu, there is a new option to package your .qst file as a standalone application. This gives you the option to distribute your quest in a way that allows people to play without grabbing any other files, or needing to select a file when starting a save slot.

  For a qst game.qst with a title "My Game", it looks like this:

  - My Game
  	- My Game.exe
  	- data/
  		- zelda.exe
  		- zc_args.txt
  		- game.qst
  		- ... all support files ...
  

  This is located in the packages folder of the root installation folder.

  Double clicking My Game.exe launches ./data/zelda.exe with the CLI switches listed in zc_args.txt. By default, the export tool provides these switches: -only game.qst -notitle. You can set whatever else you like. For example, if you want to skip the save file screen entirely, you can use -standalone instead of -only.

  Every time a package export is done in ZQuest, the folder is created from scratch.

  To include additional files, make a folder ./packages/My Game_extra and place whatever your quest needs (music, images, zc_args.txt, zc.cfg, etc). The export tool will copy this folder into the package folder at the end, which allows you to overwrite whatever you want.

  Custom icons are also supported. See docs/packaging_quests.md for details.

Refactors

• un-inline zc_math functions eba451962  

  This allows for us to always optimize these functions, even for Debug builds. Good for replay determinism.

• actually skip reading qst sections when requested 142485948  

  Only the tile importer for qst files uses the feature of skipping sections when loading a qst file. This would still read and process every section, it just wouldn't persist anything. So it wasn't really any quicker.

  This paves the way for removing keepdata from all of our loading code.

• add 'qrs.h','qrs.cpp' and move 'box_' related functions b0a55a23e
• optimize some more headers/zdefs stuff 9b309630c

• move triggerflags to combo.h e37432d49

• only use 'QMisc' as a single global 'miscQdata' for all programs 03522af1b
• remove keepdata boolean from packfile reading ef3faef68

Player

• remove windows midi_patch; improve switch out/in dc48c2763  

  This code was pausing/restarting MIDIs and resetting the volume in a convulted manner, likely to workaround some old bug with MIDIs seen on windows only. We've since upgraded to allegro 5, which gives a different backend for playing MIDIs, so this bug is likely ancient history now.

  There was some issue with blurring window focus losing percussion, sometimes. Not sure if this change will have an impact, but let's see.

  Replaced the midi_patch UI toggle with pause_in_background.

• do not show guys in screen enemy selector 28c47172e  

  The first twenty enemy ids are reserved for guys, and can produce unexpected behavior when used as screen enemies. If a screen is using one of these enemy ids, the name was showing as "(None)" in the screen enemy list. It will now show "Guy - Do Not Use!".

  The enemy selector list also will no longer show any of these enemy ids.

2.55 Alpha 111

Full Changelog: https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/compare/2.55-alpha-110...2.55-alpha-111

• Fixed a serious bug released in Alpha 110 where item positions would get reset for cave warps. If you saved in that version, you'll need to re-set those item positions. Always remember to backup quests when upgrading versions!
• For the longest time, input would be unpredictably ignored or delayed a few frames for button press checks. No more! If you have super sensitive timing, you may notice the game has become more responsive to your button mashing.
• More, see the changelog!

Bug fixes!

Too many. See detailed changelog.

Better undo/redo

Better undo/redo history for screens editing. Before U would only remember one change. Now, it remembers all the changes like a proper undo/redo system.

New shortcuts: CTRL+Z to undo, and CTRL+SHIFT+Z/CTRL+Y to redo. (CMD for Mac people)

Recording/replay system

To prepare for the upcoming z3 scrolling update, we need many recordings of games to add to a test database. If you want to help with that, please send us your .zplay files! Read on to see how:

NOTE: use the latest nightly to record a game, as there is a critical bug for recording in Alpha 110.

the following is from docs/replay.md

Replays are .zplay text files that ZC can create and play back to replay a game session. All button inputs and RNG seeds are recorded so that ZC can recreate the same playthrough frame-by-frame. Here is a demo.

This system was created primarily as a way to create automated tests. For more on that, see tests/run_replay_tests.py.

A new save file can be recorded by selecting the ZC > Replay > Enable recording new saves menu option. This will make any new save file also be recorded. You'll see an alert box telling you where the file will be saved. You can save and continue whenever without harming the recording process.

At any time, you can playback a replay in the ZC > Replay menu to watch it again, and can even take manual control whenever you want. This will not modify any exiting saved games. Note that you currently aren't be able to persist a save file when replaying a .zplay from this menu.

Later work on this system may introduce more user-facing features, such as savestates, rewinding, or creating a new game file from a replay.

In the meantime, a great way to contribute to ZC development is to enable the recording feature for your new games, and provide us your .zplay files. You don't have to finish the game, any amount of playthroughs could be helpful. The more we have, the better coverage our testing system will have, and the fewer regressions/compatibility bugs there will be!
