Features

• QR to disable F6 entirely 8292cc5ff5  

  No popups, warnings, or anything else; F6 will just do nothing with this on. The 'End Game' menu option is also greyed out by this.

Editor

• Warn in the enemy editor when "Hardcoded BS Patras" QR is enabled c525a0e74b Discord  

  When editing a Patra with the 'Hardcoded BS Patras' compat QR enabled, the enemy editor now shows a warning that 2x2 Patras will be hardcoded, ignoring most editor settings (including all firing attributes and inner eye placement).

Bug Fixes

• Allow configuring with CMake 4 without extra flags ef29f9b794  

  CMake 4 refuses to configure dependencies that declare a minimum version below 3.5 (allegro_legacy, gme, websocketpp), which required passing -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 manually.

• Number fields rejecting input when only a max bound was set b7242a5a84  

  Many dialog number fields set only an upper bound, relying on the lower bound defaulting to 0 - for example the item editor's counter 'But Not Above' field, and the size fields in the weapon data editor. A recent fix required both bounds to be explicitly set before applying them, so those fields lost their range clamping and no longer sized their input buffer from the bound's digit count, making it impossible to type more digits than the existing text.

  Regressed recently in 3.0.0-prerelease.205+2026-07-30 (c6ca585830).

Player

• Prevent crash on continue for saves with bad generic script bounds 31fe75adcf  

  Old builds could write save files whose generic script init data was sized below the expected 8 args: every save write stamped the runtime generic script state into the file, including writes of saves that weren't being played - worst was the save-file split migration, which ran before any game loaded and so wiped the stored generic script state of every migrated save with empty, wrongly-sized data. Loading such a save now throws an unhandled out_of_range at continue.

  Loading is now tolerant of short init data, loaded files have their generic script bounds healed, and save writes only sync the runtime generic script state into the save actually being played.

  Regressed recently in 3.0.0-prerelease.205+2026-07-30 (76b97b95ee).

• Prevent crash entering a screen with an out-of-range FFC link 2dcce88490 Discord
• Shooter combos not running scripts on custom lweapons 9f513a751b Discord  

  Shooter combos firing a 'Custom Weapon' id with 'Custom Weapons Are LWeapons' checked would assign the weapon script but never run it, because custom-weapon lweapons only ran scripts when fired by an item or created by a script. Custom eweapons were unaffected.

  Regressed in 2.55-alpha-110 (a90cd1b2e8).

• Cave exit animations only playing on top-left screen of region 703651114b  

  When insta-warping into a scrolling region, the check for cave combos at the warp return square used screen-local coordinates, so it always sampled the region's top-left screen. Cave/Cave2 walk-out animations therefore only played when the return square was on that screen.

  Regressed in 3.0.0-prerelease.89+2025-02-18 (6b5e98dd70).

Editor

• 'Edit New FFC' using garbage values 00b5033c55
• InitD[] args not showing checkbox for bools in editor 294015b302
• String .tsv import scrambling margins and list order 68da80987b Discord  

  Importing a strings .tsv file - even one exported unedited - broke the string data in two ways:

  The margin column is written in top/right/bottom/left order, but the importer read it as top/bottom/left/right, permuting three of the four margins on every import.

  The imported list positions were dropped entirely (the string copy intentionally skips them), forcing every string's list position to its numerical index - except the last imported string, which kept a stale position from before the import, corrupting the string list order.

  Imported list positions are now applied by rank, so hand-edited files with duplicate or gapped position values normalize sensibly instead of breaking the list.

  Regressed in 3.0.0-prerelease.40+2024-02-15 (13e56e789f)

• Undo doing nothing after 'Apply Template to All' 2438b29958  

  Undoing (or redoing) this command restored all the screen snapshots onto a single wrong screen instead of each screen that was changed, so the map appeared unchanged after undo.

  Regressed in 3.0.0-prerelease.71+2024-09-26 (6fd217ecb0).

ZScript

• Clarify FFC Link as same-screen and allow linking to ffc 128 657d596f4c  

  An FFC's Link is the 1-indexed number of an FFC on its own screen, but in multi-screen regions the player resolved it as a region-wide FFC ID, so a linked FFC on any screen other than the region origin moved with the origin screen's FFC instead of its own screen's. Linked FFCs now always resolve against their own screen.

  Also, scripts could not set ffc->Link (or mapdata FFCLink[]) to 128, even though the editor allows linking to the 128th FFC.

  The ffc->Link docs now spell out the same-screen semantics; nothing could ever store a region-encoded ID (scripts were capped at 127 and quests store a single byte), so no existing content is affected.

Visual Studio Code Extension

• Valid annotations and options flagged as syntax errors a239035035  

  Annotation names extending a shorter known name were only partially highlighted, with the rest of the name marked as an error: @ExportRange matched as @Export plus a stray "Range", and @Flag10 through @Flag15 (and their Help variants) matched as @Flag1 plus a stray digit.

  Several names the compiler accepts were flagged as unknown: the @ExportInitD0-7, @Increment, and @Bitflags annotations, two-digit @Attribute10-23 and @AttributeHelp10-23, and the option DEFAULT_STATIC_SCRIPT_MEMBERS. Conversely, FORCE_INLINE is no longer highlighted as a known option, matching its removal from the compiler.

  Regressed in 2.55-alpha-116 (6ecf0775af); the @ExportRange case in 3.0.0-prerelease.205+2026-07-30 (76b97b95ee).

Documentation

• Fix indent issue with multi-paragraph comments on enums 24dee83d50

Build

• Fix Xcode generator failing to configure due to per-source dialog flags 8b16bc9b84  

  The Xcode CMake generator rejects per-config per-source COMPILE_OPTIONS ("Xcode does not support..."), so the -O1 compile-speed flag on src/dialog/*.cpp made the generate step fail, which broke 'cmake --build build_Xcode'. Skip the flag under the Xcode generator; that build is used for profiling, so slower dialog compiles are fine.

  Introduced in 7ff43d0562 (build!: speed up compilation).

Refactors

• Set TextField bounds as a single {low, high} pair cf55ed2543 Discord  

  The separate setLowBound/setHighBound setters (and low/high DSL props) created a window where only half the range was set, which caused two regressions (c6ca585830, 3e7838b56e). Bounds are now given as a single pair - bounds = {low, high} - so a half-set range can no longer exist. High-only sites now state the previously-implicit low of 0 explicitly; the one lone low = 0 (combo wizard proximity field) was always a no-op and is dropped. No behavior change.

Player

• Speed up replay gfx hashing without changing the hash d1c325aa6c  

  The per-frame gfx hash converted the 8bpp frame to 24bpp through allegro's generic cross-format blit, which cost more than the hash itself (together ~13% of an assert-mode Yuurand replay). Replay wall time drops ~8%.

Editor

• Construct undo commands via named params structs b17be8d488  

  The undo command classes were filled in field-by-field at each call site, so adding a field to a command class could silently leave it uninitialized somewhere.

  Each command now takes a params struct built with designated initializers: fields are bound by name (no transposition risk, and C++20 enforces declaration order), and the screen_index fields default to -1 with an ASSERT in the constructor so an omitted field trips in debug builds instead of corrupting screen 0.

Tests

Editor

• Add strings .tsv import command and round-trip test c4a64fb8a9  

  Adds a headless '-import-strings <input.tsv>' CLI command (counterpart to '-export-strings'), and a test that exports a quest's strings, imports them into another quest, and verifies a re-export is identical. Guards the margin/list-order import fixes.

ZScript

• Uncomment line previously broken on win32 bf33d4325d

Misc.

• Add Discord threads reader script 2551970470  

  scripts/threads.py reads bug/feature forum threads via a Discord bot token, taken from the ZC_DISCORD_API_KEY env var or a ~/.zc_discord_key file.

  Also add CLAUDE.md / skills.

ZScript

• Improve auto-generated QR constants file 0a9ea27f21  

  Now 'related qrs' are mentioned in the comments, with a docs link to that QR's constant.
