gzip compress uploaded replays 6153fb25f
update replay versions on save load c730b0ee7

Previously, save files associated with replay file were permanently pinned to their initial replay version. This prevented older saves from benefiting from subsequent engine bug fixes. The replay version now dynamically updates when a save file is continued, seamlessly bringing new fixes to ongoing playthroughs without breaking existing replays.

prevent crash when loading music with non-ASCII filenames 782cbb596
[mac] prevent crash from deeply nested dialogs a6aa14dd0
prevent rare crash by checking if time mutex exists 344d442b6
compat issues with quests before 2.53 related to owning mcguffin items 5e87baedf

Player

check water correctly when scrolling down a277612ff

When scrolling down while swimming, the player could sometimes incorrectly use a walking animation rather than swimming.

This regressed in 2.55.12.
minor index logic error related to subscreens 69d4ce5e1
'Show Hitbox' cheat hitboxes being slightly misaligned 6ab87bf89
show cheat hitboxes for invisible enemies fb0983d34
prevent crash when combos trigger dface2a9a

Regressed in 2.55.13.
melee weapon hitboxes lingering forever based on 'Live One Extra Frame' rule 3ebb28f73
graphical errors in older quests 37475b9f2

Many older quests were incorrectly drawing the player, held items, or some enemies and weapons over the subscreen.

Regressed in 2.55 alpha 120 (93f25b690).
'slashable' combos (tall grass, etc) wrongly 'cutting' via triggers tab d80ca68c2

Due to some old half-finished code, slashables were responding to all weapons set in their combo triggers tab, even with ->ComboType Effects not checked. This behavior has been fixed, now requiring ->ComboType Effects to trigger.

Old quests loaded will automatically update any affected combos to behave as they did previously.
Hero sometimes drowning when drown QR is off 1bfd4172e
Newer Hero Movement buggy collision re: damage combos along the top of the screen 85a2b22f0

Hitting the corner of any solid horizontally was wrongly checking the TOP of the screen for damage combos.
0-damage brang/hshot items not obeying script-changed damage values 278a0f17e

If a script changed the damage of the weapon but not the item, enemies who don't have "Damaged by Power 0 Weapons" checked would take the ITEM's damage amount rather than the WEAPON's. This also affected generic scripts changing the damage in an enemy hit event.
Spinning Tiles not becoming the next combo b5d6fe0f5

No idea when this initially "broke", or if it ever worked at all, but the help text says it is supposed to, so fixed it with a compat rule.
statue shooters / spintiles / etc not working properly with triggers fd6f3baa1

triggers changing combos wasn't calling screen_combo_modify_preroutine()/postroutine()
Sprite light radius ignoring hit offsets e7cb154d7
prevent soft-lock in whirlwind over water 31acb4665

This regressed in 2.55.13 (b27da2ea2).

Editor

prevent long label from visually breaking combo editor 5f76b941b
delete invalid command history 9e5205318

When reducing the map count, the command undo/redo history were retaining entries for old maps. If attempting to undo/redo a command from a deleted map, the editor would crash.

Now, those entries are deleted when the map count reduces.
prevent screen palette truncating to byte (0xFF) 2038dc8a2
Rename Under Combo -> Undercombo in many places for consistency c4bffbd24
don't show compat QR confirmation when creating new quest 98b53c99a

When creating a new quest from an older tileset, don't show a confusing confirmation dialog about disabling compat QRs. It won't hurt a new quest to disable these QRs, and this dialog is likely to confuse new users.
show correct combos from adjacent screens 7d4c4f88d

When the screen editor displays combos from adjacent screens, it was randomly showing the wrong combos.

Regressed in 2.55 alpha 109 (be515839b).

ZScript Standard Library (std.zh)

set MAX_DEFENSE to correct value 69e12ea8c

It should be 41, but it was 42.

ZScript

broken bitmap draws 99d851094

Some bitmap drawing methods were broken, such as masked draws used in a boss fight in Nayru's Odyssey. For that quest, it caused the boss to always be invisible.

This regressed in 2.55.10.

https://discord.com/channels/876899628556091432/1490714916439593141
npcdata->InitD[] / WeaponInitD[] being *10000 6d1d92a4c
class destructors ending prematurely 470b5bf18

When a destructor calls a user function, the script engine incorrectly ended the destructor after that function call, skipping anything that came after.
skip JIT compiler for larger scripts 89061ed7a

If the experimental JIT feature is on, now really large scripts are not compiled. It takes too long to compile large scripts in 2.55 so now we don't bother.
some included headers using bad DrawCombo frame parameter f91768189

this fixes combo draws not animating properly in ghost, tango, and EmilyMisc.zh
add newlines missing in some error messages 1b67f37fb
change Region->OriginScreenIndex to int instead of long 8fd165bc8
add getters for ffc::LastChangerX and ffc::LastChangerY e00fe7fd4

These were never implemented.

Refactors

[mac] unify F-keys for reset/quit 66102a674
Previously on Mac, reset/quit were mapped to different keys than on other platforms because historically F9/10 were reserved by the OS. However, that is no longer the case on modern Macs.

These function keys on Mac now match other platforms:
- Reset is now F9 (was F7)
- Quit is now F10 (was F8)
- Screensaver and Palette Toggle have been moved back to F7 and F8, respectively
speed up subscreen draws by simplifying string operations f710001f8

Player

turn off replay_debug by default 45a023a99

This makes replay files significantly smaller by disabling debug mode, which stores a hash for every graphics frame in the replay file. This is no longer needed for replays recorded by players so it's time to disable it.

Editor

format map, screen locations more consistently dd0ceb26c
- Format map + screen pairs using a common format: decimal for map, hex with a 0x prefix for screen, and spaces for legibility. Example: 19 : 0x5A.
- Fix an issue in quest report tools that incorrectly used hex to format the map component.

ZScript

increase ZASM hang threshold 19cdd25b4

Every set number of ZASM instructions, the scripting engine checks if the player hit F9 or F10 to allow them to quit during an infinite loop. The default was to check every 1000 instructions, but that is way too frequent. Now, the engine checks every 100k instructions. This reduces the amount of unnecessary overhead related to checking for key events.
