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.

'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.

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).

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.

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.
