The one with custom Guys, quest package exports, and a ZScript VS Code extension.

Features

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

  Also refactor how shape drawing works to remove the need for duplicate ZQ versions.

• Add general SFX/Sprites to combos (no zscript access yet) 4d55a2a74
• add solid damage combo QRs ab146e65f  

  also fixed "No Solid Damage Combos" QR and fixed more issues with Newer Hero Movement

• Customize 'Guy' per-room (compat ruled) 00302d51e
• multiple new options related to subscreen item selection 6ff6a775f  

  • 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.

  # 0 to only compile on the main thread
  jit_threads = -2

• free jit script handles on engine shutdown 52db50c21

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 Hotkey struct to 'hotkey.h'/'hotkey.cpp' 629fd8d9f

• move newcombo stuff to 'combo.h'/'combo.cpp' 2c3fe05c7
• move combo 'advanced paste' to 'combo.cpp', use enum flags, rename 'sizes.h' to 'general.h' a4afbd4a3
• move triggerflags to combo.h e37432d49
• move misc data stuff to 'misctypes.h'/'misctypes.cpp' abac74960
• 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.
