ZUpdater

• add release channel to builds to specify where zupdater looks for updates bb9023ea8
   

  This adds a "channel" configuration to releases that limits what releases the updater will consider when looking for new versions. This allows us to configure a "2.55" release channel, and prevents the from updating into 3.0 releases while still allowing it to grab new releases from 2.55.

  This is necessary long term as it allows 2.55 users getting easy bug fix updates without moving them to 3.0, which should only be done explicitly.

Web

• include cambria tileset 34580b86f

• Crumble type now uses 'Continuous' as a checkbox, fix wizard for Crumbling type 020466990
• various issues with the default display size for windowed mode 20f6fa908
   

  Instead of using the monitor scale / DPI to multiply the size we set the window to, it now looks at the monitor resolution and uses the largest integer multiple of the base resolution (256x240 for zplayer, 456x342 for zeditor and zlauncher). This always takes into account the scaling of the OS (the monitor width/height changes when you modify that). If a window size is saved from a previous run, it will use that instead -- unless it won't fit, then it goes back to getting the largest resolution for the given monitor. More details:

  • Completely change how the initial display is sized for windowed mode.
    Instead of using the monitor DPI to scale up a base resolution,
    default to as large a resolution as possible while maintaining an
    integer scale. This particular commit retains the previous behavior
    for Windows, but the next one will move Windows to the new behavior
    (separate commits just in case a revert is necessary)
  • Set the desired window size for zeditor before creating the display,
    not after.
  • Use the base resolution in zplayer for the allegro 5 screen bitmap,
    instead of 2x the base resolution. Should improve rendering time a bit
  • More reliable behavior on mac. Previously would possibly cut off top
    part of screen and mess up mouse events if the initial display height
    was bigger than the available height
  • Set default for fullscreen option on Mac back to off. On newer M2
    Macs fullscreen display creation is bugged. Fine for Windowed -> then
    Maximize, and fine for older Macs, but for now just set the default
    to windowed mode to be safe

• simplify display size for windows too a049b6ce6
• set window title as early as possible to reduce flash of text d7312b9dc
• mark render item transform dirty when changing parent f59d8b314
   

  This bug resulted in the tooltip / highlighter being offset when the window size changes.

• bomb equippability not respecting cost counter customization c7ffbf652
• many issues with the 'Doors' dialog 6e97f2aaf
   

  Also adds new '(None)' door type. The player will not 'auto-walk' when entering from a '(None)' door, and no combos are placed when setting one in zq.

• use simpler temp file creation for all platforms 5018d9e54
   

  This should resolve problems with making save files observed on some Linux setups.

Player

• fixed passageway and item cellar fade-in when "New Dark Rooms" rule is on 4748d9a89
• playtime not drawing unless scrolling ddd3f26a1
   

  I'm so mad at how dumb this was. Specifically, it doesn't draw if you have "subscreen over sprites" disabled unless you're scrolling.

• 1-pixel gap in 'show walkability' cheat draw ee0eda1e2
• 'Newer Player Movement' corner-shove being far too lenient d0e2908b1

• fix corner shove solidity 7c5c7c992
• set size when making info layer to avoid crash 5163053b5
• titlescreen hp offset when hp_per_heart != 16 31f3840e4
• Lift 'Special Item' setting wrong state 7215fd92d
• properly reset directory cache 8cacad3d5
• subscreens with item-overridden level items not properly displaying 913003180
• snapshot entire player screen for gui snapshot, which was missing a5 layers 8f416879e
• set game played to false to fix quest progression sword/health bug be675976b

Editor

• fixed crash when opening preview mode 23ad85cfb
• made autocombos respect moving, adding, and removing combos f8d89f5ad
• prevent crash when changing font 640378df8
• prevent data loss when grabbing tile from old quests f8fdd7bb7
• qrs having wrong category name in search menu 5391348e4
• import maps was unhelpfully clearing everything 50c6377e1
   

  The map import tool was checking if the first screen's valid field was a special value denoting it was "cleared" by the user. It's unclear why valid holds this information, but presently it's not useful and breaks map imports randomly.

• use cross platform clock for timing to fix combo editor animation 163f9a91f
• use cross platform clock for zscript compile timing cde9a4688
• format zc_args.txt correctly be4390661

• test mode init data marking quest as "needs saving" extraneously 243088418
• mark tooltip dirty if text changes 164f77d33
• Fix palette desyncs (permanently?) b5a7ee226
   

  Should no longer need to ever manually 'rebuild transparency table'. As such, the default keybind for 'Reset Transparency' is now '(None)' instead of 'B'

• do not freeze screen bitmap while in pal dialog 95fac7ac8
• Tall Grass combo wizard dropset not setting flags properly 4732eb4b0
• prevent bad overlay when no tile is copied 5f76b78fe
• more tile page problems from 4-bit: scaling, overlay 1f65a0cca
• snapshot entire editor screen to include a5 layers 8cd737c5a

Refactors

• memcpy the buffer in PACKFILE fread 8f547f8f5
   

  This saves ~500ms on my Mac when loading Yuurand.qst

• speed up copy_tile / tilesize 01e13ec0a
• use safe cstr reading functions b1a7b8d43
• add bounded_vec container type 9edaa62a2
• render a4->a5 bitmaps in first pass 8ef8665a7
• reorder field initializer list to fix compiler warnings 8d64f8374
• simplify render tree drawing b52d7eaea
   

  This adds prepare and render functions to the RenderTreeItem class. Also makes them virtual so that new classes can be made to represent a render item. The minimap drawing code was moved to this.

  Consolidates the logic for when a render item is dirty, and moves allegro 4 bitmap handling into a new derived class.

• use a single bitmap for dialog tint 8a8ef4667
• add bitmap_flags to rti 6af0dcc23
• Init Data / Gamedata acb7c8481
   

  Change how Init Data is stored and saved to the quest file (and rearrange the dialog slightly) - Allow setting mcguffin level state for all levels in init data/cheats instead of just levels 1-8 - Init data health can be in HP instead of just in Hearts - Can set init values for script counters 26-100 (was missing before) - Change how data is stored and saved to the save file

• cache zasm script size be7c81d3c
• move zcsound source files to src/sound 09dfea4eb
• remove zcmusicd.cpp 15628e6f3
• move ffc set data / changer out of ffc.cpp and to src/zc 3a6d2d394
   

  This is the first step to moving ffc.cpp to zcbase.

• cleanup combo position handling, optimize spotlight code 44cb8bb72
• cache config read for use_linear_bitmaps 4c922be5e
• remember previous screen clip for scrolling pane 7a8021809
• avoid copying combo everywhere 0ecfa71f6
• limit default window size to 3x the base resolution, and add a buffer so to always be less than the monitor size 2f6cf5a72
• unpack 4-bit tiles when quest is loaded ff01c741b
   

  This reduces CPU usage by ~3%.

  Previously, 4-bit tiles were only unpacked just before being drawn. Unpacking means converting into a format ready for drawing, which is somewhat slow to do in functions as hot as tile drawing. Now, when a qst is loaded all 4-bit tiles are unpacked in memory. When saving a qst the reverse happens. This change has no impact on the qst file format.

• avoid copy when drawing tile without any transformation 973303a3c
   

  This reduces CPU usage by ~7%.

• make get_qr faster by unpacking the bits ahead of time 990eb380b
   

  This reduces CPU usage by ~5.5%.

• Split graphical weapon init code, in prep for ignite sprites 9ca67c7b0
• make tooltips simpler to install, and map prev/next tooltip ca09be0e2

Player

• do far less work in platform_fallthrough 8861f51f1
• do less work in run_gswitch_timers 78af21af8
• avoid costly script object dealloc when destroying dummy item c22e9d68f
• use more accurate but slower tile drawing when drawing on edge of bitmap c1601e941
• respect bitmap clip in tile drawing functions, remove usage of temp_buf in screen draw a42586c11
• totally remove temp_buf in screen draw, and masked_blit 93f25b690
   

  This refactor reduces CPU usage by roughly 6%.

  This results in some unavoidable minor graphical changes for quests with the QR "Subscreen Appears Above Sprites" disabled. Specifically, sprites (such as jumping enemies, weapons, etc) continue to draw over the subscreen background as before, but now also draw over the individual subscreen UI elements. In most cases this looks better, and better follows what the QR text says will happen.

  https://hoten.cc/tmp/compare-report-screen-draw-refactor/

• cache result of item_tile_mod, which saves 17% of CPU time b3c942902
• remove accidental copy in run_gswitch_timers 9646be4b1
• show dialog when saving fails 2a571d392

Editor

  Use the same smart FPS throttle that the player uses in the editor too.

  This doubled the FPS in the Web version.

• draw minimap to smaller bitmap df2602f85
   

  Also add a callback to RenderTreeItem, which allows the main drawing code to directly render the minimap as needed.

• bah humbug! 21ecb9203
• remove pointless time code d0549a3ed
• simplify tile copy during grabbing eb1a43609

ZScript

• replace script debug_id with composite id (type, index) 8e6c48a21
   

  The previous hack of using a global variable incremented in the constructor had strange behavior, and would result in different ids given when reloading a quest.

• use .contains instead of .find in jit.cpp 02dbb040c

ZLauncher

• group current version info in updater tab 986b27145
• open new website for release note buttons 1c8149e0f

• run fewer replay tests for web, for now ec906a94b
• specify bash shell to fix windows failing test results upload ced10c828
• only consider ancestors when searching for baseline commit 69c4cf890
   

  Previously it would only look at the main branch, but that does not support long-living branches nor multiple release branches.

• fetch all git history for compare job c5f2a5b1a
• explictly ask for python tests in ci.yml, which stopped running b/c of f589ada 36666a369

ZLauncher

• add support zc button 11ec92044

Web

• make quest url a bit friendlier 8aa27f494
• use gzip instead of allegro PACKFILE compression dee67d885
   

  gzip compresses better than allegro PACKFILEs:

  And it's a bit faster to load a qst in the Web version when it doesn't have to decompress it. For Yuurand.qst, loading time (including downloading) from 17.4s to 14.5s

• better indicate download progress for compressed assets 3fb07895d
• support default open URL for tilesets b1e6584dd
