# Bug Fixes

 

correct bad version number used in 2.55 Alpha 86

 

number picker dialog not using proper starting value

  fixes some dialogs in Init Data

 

prevent crash when there are too many door combo sets

Lift gloves with specific settings not allowing throwing

  Gloves with Button=0 and 'Disable Item Use' set were unable to throw objects once picked up.

 

zc: Push (Generic) 'Opposites Cancel' flag not working properly with 0-push directions

zc: Add limit to `genericdata->RunFrozen()` recursion to prevent crashing

  Running too many frozen scripts at once caused a stack overflow crash, now it causes a script error message.

 

zc: prevent potential crash from show walkability cheat

zc: remove ladder during warp (#1017)

zc: when charging duration of Charge Ring is 0, use default time instead (#1023)

zc: remove jittery 1px gap when pushing blocks right/down

zc: step triggers ignoring z-axis

zc: triggered autowarp combos now use sidewarps

  autowarps triggered by combotriggers use sidewarps. instead of tilewarps

  screenflags that make autowarp and sidewarp direct work with triggers now (as they should)

 

zc: Custom Bush/Slash combo sprites not spawning centered on the combo

zc: incorrect dungeon check in map view

  This resulted in drawing doors incorrectly.

 

zc: bombed walls drawn incorrectly during scrolling

zq: add more ? buttons to combo editor about weapon triggers

  Clarified how the fire triggers work

  Renamed 'Any Fire' to 'Normal Fire' to better reflect how it actually works

 

zq: some lists closing dialogs randomly when rclicked

zq: changing some options in options dlg wasn't updating rclick menu

zq: show tile 0's actual graphic for gauge widget tile selectors

zq: `Mouse Scroll` setting not working on 4th combo column

zq: typo in subscreen gauge piece 'Units per Frame' help text

zq: set explicit width for combo lifting drop-down lists

zq: typo in push flag help text

zq: crash on importing combo aliases

zq: 'delay' animation preview was calculated wrong

zq: remove hidden combo selection mode toggled with spacebar (#1051)

  Pressing space changed how combo selection worked in a way that often confused

  users. There was also no visible indication of this, so it was extra bad. This

  mode was perhaps useful for something in the combo selector dialog, but outside

  that it was seemingly not useful at all - and is now removed.

 

zq: item 'flash' not previewing on main screen

zq: remove extraneous `String, but guy is (none)` warning

  Due to various new features, this warning is no longer valid, as

  there are reasons to have a string with no guy, ex. Signposts

 

zscript: prevent potential crash while compiling ternary expressions

  Regressed 2 years ago in dd975320.

 

zscript: fix codegen for long integer `^^^` constant 0

  This was accidentally producing `10000` instead of `1`.

 

zscript: correct broken clipping of draw commands in some cases

  Some draw commands clip their contents based on whether the render

  target is the screen or a custom bitmap. However, the way this was

  tracked was broken, and resulted in all draw commands in the same batch

  following a single custom bitmap draw command incorrectly using the

  clipping bounds meant for just custom bitmaps.

 

zscript: properly allocate file list to prevent `FileSystem->LoadDirectory()` crash

 

# Documentation

 

link to docs.zquestclassic.com/zscript in zscript.txt, ZScript_Additions.txt

 

# Refactors

 

zq: rename boomerang range attribute to duration (#1048)

zq: in Load Tileset wizard, enable all clear options by default

std_zh: remove DMFS_SIDEVIEW since it was never implemented

zscript: log errors in ghost_zh when creating an enemy fails

 

zscript: rename `Game->LevelStates[]`/`Game->GlobalStates[]`

  previous names `Game->LSwitches[]`/`Game->GSwitch[]` are deprecated

 

zscript: add a few functions in preparation for z3 regions

  While 2.55 won't support scrolling regions, it will still have these

  following functions so that scripts may be written to be compatible with

  2.55 and 3.0.

  

  Game:

  

  - `mapdata LoadTempScreen(int layer, int screen)`

  - `mapdata LoadTempScreenForComboPos(int layer, int pos)`

  - `mapdata LoadScrollingScreen(int layer, int screen)`

  

  Screen:

  

  - `ffc LoadFFC(int screen, int index)`

  - `void TriggerSecrets(int screen)`

 

 

# Tests

 

 

correctly emit error when compiling unsupported ZASM

  The `-quick-compile` and `-smart-compile` CLI switches were not

  correctly failing the program or printing an error message when

  encountering a bad ZASM command.

 

 

# CI

 

use macos-13 for newer clang

 

# Misc.

 

zq: add help text for conveyors about positive/negative values
