Bug Fixes

Player

• switch triggering on layers 8f2b741aa  

  This regressed in 6b5e98d (z3)

• SCC menus no longer sometimes break 5cbdb4ce9  

  Regressed in 3.0.0-prerelease.104+2025-05-14 (71b272)

• only force grab one held-up item at a time 998655562  

  If the player collects multiple items at or around the same time, and those items run the "hold up" animation, only the first item would show the holding animation while the others would silently be collected.

  Now, the items are collected and held up one at a time. Note that this only applies to "force grabbed" items (ex: settable in scripts via itemsprite::ForceGrab, or as the result of some triggers).

• use correct screen for GoIfScreenD SCC in regions ba61aca04

Refactors

• improve syntax and encoding of message strings 8c038be72  

  Message strings now use an improved syntax that is more readable, supports negative arguments, and is less error prone.

  Previous:

  It's dangerous to go alone! \1\2\3Take this!

  New:

  It's dangerous to go alone! \TextColor\2\3\ Take this!

  Additionally, message strings no longer use a binary encoding to store SCCs, but instead now use plain ASCII. Scripts that require the old binary encoding should use the compat QR.

  See https://docs.zquestclassic.com/tutorials/message_strings for more.

ZScript

• use internal traceStr for TraceToBase 14287ea26

Tests

• add auto_tango.zplay 307a60cf2
