Drewol/unnamed-sdvx-clone v0.5.0

Version 0.5.0

on GitHub

There's been quite some time since the last proper release so there's really too much to
bring up. Since most of you have been playing on a relatively up to date version a lot
in here won't be completely new but most changes since 0.4.0 will still be listed here
for completeness sake.

There is also now a tool for those coming from K-Shoot MANIA that want to keep their scores.
ksm2usc-score-import

With the new workflow using a develop branch there will hopefully be more frequent releases.

Fixes

Too many to list.

Skin incompability notice

• Gauges

--- gameplay.lua
--- gameplay.gauge and gameplay.gaugeType are removed
local function getGauge()
 if type(gameplay.gauge) == "table" then
   return gameplay.gauge.value
 end
 return gameplay.gauge
end
local function getGaugeType()
 if type(gameplay.gauge) == "table" then
   return gameplay.gauge.type
 end
 return gameplay.gaugeType
end

• Game mode API (mirror/excessive/etc)

-- result.flags has been removed, now use gauge_type
local function isExcessive(result)
  if result.flags == nil then
    return result.gauge_type == 1
  end
  return result.flags & 1 == 1
end
local function isMirror(result)
  if result.flags == nil then
    return result.mirror
  end
  return result.flags & 2 == 2
end
local function isRandom(result)
  if result.flags == nil then
    return result.random
  end
  return result.flags & 4 == 4
end

-- example
-- results.lua
isMirror(result)
-- challengeresults.lua
isMirror(chart)
