Features

Editor

  • Add warnings to combo editor (can detect problems and warn you about them) 05188bddf
  • Merge 'Favorite Command' and 'Hotkey' systems cbb1ee991
     

    Any 'Hotkey' can now be set to a favorite command, and all old favorite commands now have 'Hotkey's. Favorite command buttons will clear upon this update, as the configs have changed.

  • Hotkey cheatsheet, open with Shift+? 2f0f07d43

ZLauncher

  • set save folder 0269d0102
  • add options for window size, and cap max default window size 47b273d89
     

    [ZLAUNCH] window_width, window_height in zcl.cfg

    Cap max default size to 2x

Bug Fixes

  • prevent clock shifts from hanging the program b379a0ed9
     

    Allegro 5 doesn't use a monotonic clock that ignores suspended time, so day light saving shifts or even hibernating your computer can result in Allegro trying to do so much work to "catch up" that it hangs the program. See liballeg/allegro5#1511 for more.

  • shift key input no longer accidentally ignored c92f096a0
  • passive (non-button) items not respecting "Usable as a Bunny" flag 84d7f07e8
  • ZScript metadata fields cutting off at semicolons in strings ab92b22e7
  • 'box_out' popups sometimes appearing squished in the upper-left ced3bfb71
  • default bs patra has broken animation e846caa2f
  • newer hero movement ladder polish 172c7a5ef

  • being able to carry objects while swimming, when lift glove isn't swim-capable d06f44a33
  • 'Push (Generic)' combos not properly locking into place on block triggers 80845040c

Player

  • Music not properly changing when using some warp types (ex. SCC warp) 0aef5384b
  • extra pushing allowed per screen 8a798d0dd
  • cheats menu being greyed out when it shouldn't be b24044c87
  • new respawn points not accounting for dmap offset d90410dcd
  • initialize fadevolume to avoid undefined behavior 437c27b25
     

    This fixes a bug where music would randomly be silent or extremely loud.

    Also, cap the volume used to play music to 255, to avoid ever playing it so loud again.

  • set volume correctly when music changes with only fading in or out 9274a675b
     

    For example, if the new music has a fade in frame duration of 0, and the old music has a fade out frame duration of >0, then the new music would incorrectly have its volume stuck at 0%.

  • menu bar unaligned with dropdown due to menu using int scaling f8222be89

  • sync fs when writing save order txt file e006c07a7
  • quick save creation link working again 9e4c8a90f
     

    The quest gamedata field was inadvertently set to 0 because the save file was prematurely selected before being saved for the first time, which prevented anything in saves_do_first_time_stuff from sticking.
