To help reduce the number of bugs in official releases, here is an unofficial prerelease build to give people a chance to find and report any obvious new bugs. The official release will come in a few days.

 

The Windows prerelease of 2.55.12 can be downloaded here. Keep this separate from your main ZC install. Once the version has been officially released, replace this prelease build with one from official channels (the updater, GitHub, or zquestclassic.com). This link will expire at that point.

 

Use this thread to discuss or ask questions about the new changes.

 

Changelog:

 

# Features

 

 

zc: multiple control schemes

  You can now configure different schemes for keyboard/gamepad controls,

  and configure quests to use a specific scheme.

  

  The dialog for binding controls has also been improved.

 

zq: new boxes to enter timed warp time in minutes/seconds

zq: improve map view with mouse zoom/drag

zq: added 'Combo Pools' / 'Auto Combos' to 'Quest->Graphics' menu

zq: add 'Open Combo Page' to screen right-click menu

zq: subscreen editor option for "Duplicate In-Place"

  If enabled, duplicating a widget will place the new one at the same x,y

  as the original, instead of shifting it down-right by 1 grid unit.

 

zq: right-click the map/screen bookmarks to clear

std_zh: add a few functions

  * `GetLayerComboE`: green effect square

  * `DrainedCounter`: counter's current value, accounting for DCounter

  * `InputToDir` / `PressToDir`: get direction based on held/pressed inputs

  * `DirToInput` / `DirToPress`: sets input based on a direction

 

 

# Bug Fixes

 

scrolling ui panes sometimes blanking out contents

 

[win] correctly position drive selector in file dialog

  When the tileset dialog wizard opens the file dialog, it could sometimes

  incorrectly position some elements, mostly the drive selector.

 

build with PulseAudio support; fixes sound in many Linux distros

improve keyboard driver

missing 8 pixels in active subscreen

  compat qr for old behavior

 

allegro5 render layers having uninitialized transforms

zc: prevent drowning when walk-through-walls cheat is enabled

zc: lift glove action script clearing owned script objects after first frame

zc: hookshot wedging the player into walls sometimes

  This bug has apparently been present since 2.50.2, and already HAD a fix

  implemented, the fix was just very slightly broken.

 

zc: only force grab one held-up item at a time

  If the player collects multiple items at or around the same time, and

  those items run the "hold up" animation, only the first item would show

  the holding animation while the others would silently be collected.

  

  Now, the items are collected and held up one at a time. Note that this

  only applies to "force grabbed" items (ex: settable in scripts via

  `itemsprite::ForceGrab`, or as the result of some triggers).

 

zc: draw transparency correctly during death

  During the death animation, the first frame of the redshift did not

  correctly update the transparency table, so transparent colors appeared

  darker than they should.

 

zc: getting stuck on solid FFCs w/ new movement disabled

zc: "respawning" to another screen using wrong dmap's xoffset

zc: properly load files saved as .QST

  The qst file selector when creating a save was always making the file

  extension lowercased. On Windows and Mac that doesn't matter because the

  filesystem is case insensitive, but on Linux / web it prevents loading

  files saved as .QST rather than .qst

 

zc: Active shields and Passive Button Roc Items not running scripts

  Active shields (either standard or set on a passive button), and Roc

  Items (set on a passive button) were not running their Action Script

  when used.

 

zc: prevent exploding bombs falling into pits not near them

  This was caused by bombs having a large hit offset when exploding, and a

  check was bounding the coordinates back into the valid screen area. This

  caused the bomb to fall into pits along the right edge of the screen.

 

zc: prevent player getting hit by some sources during pitfalls

zc: Whistle defense not respecting 'Ignore' behavior

zc: 'Menu' gamepad button not activating the menu

zc: use configured `Halt Duration`, `Acceleration Factor` for peahats

zq: don't incorrectly show '-->' in the String list

  Now it appears when it is the 'Next String' of the string visibly above

  it in the list, regardless of the base index number.

 

zq: quest report `Save` button not working

zq: enemy defense list missing 'Switch w/ Player'

zq: correctly show cset/combo type for selected layer

  The "Show CSets/Types" feature is meant to only show the currently

  selected layer, but instead it was showing the highest layer (except for

  when "Show Flags" was also enabled, which prevented the bug).

 

zq: prevent rare crash in subscreen Counter Block wizard

  If the "Inf Char" field was empty when the dialog closes, the program

  could possibly crash.

 

zq: improve usability of number input fields

  Some number input fields limit the number of characters based on the max

  value; but these required deleting the "0" before it would allow typing

  the full value, which was clunky.

  

  Now these fields have an additional character space to account for the

  leading 0.

 

zq: remove frame of lag when opening tiles dialog

zq: lag in tile/combo/alias/etc pages dialogs

zq: skip timed autosave when there are no changes

  Autosave no longer saves if there are no changes since the last save,

  just like normal saves. This prevents the window from popping up

  repeatedly when the editor is idle.

 

zq: dmap import/export

std_zh: update ghost.zh to use 128 ffcs instead of 32

zscript: using `[]` on some types crashing the parser

zscript: support changing BS-Zelda animation, many scrolling related QRs

zscript: prevent crash in `Game->GetItem()`

zscript: prevent crash when using empty string with some file functions

zscript: for x64 jit, check CPU supports SSE4.1

  This prevents a crash when the jit is enabled on CPUs that don't support

  SSE4.1 (~2007 for Intel, ~2013 for AMD).

 

zscript: printf/sprintf '%f' improperly ending in `.` instead of `.0` for integers

web: resolve issues with non-US standard keyboard layouts

 

# Build

 

 

improve packaging, lean on CMake more

  The `cmake --install` command should now work on all platforms to

  install ZC locally.

  

  * Updated docs/building.md

  * Use CMake's install and cpack features to coordinate what resources

    and shared libraries are needed at runtime, and for creating

    distributable packages. This replaces package.py and package_mac.sh

  * On Linux, follow conventions: shared libraries go into lib/, binaries

    go into bin/, and resources go into share/zquestclassic

  * For the generated Mac .dmg, add custom background saying "Take this!"

  * For Mac app bundles, .dylib files now go into Contents/Frameworks

    instead of Contents/libs

 

vendor libdumb and link statically

switch to libjpeg_turbo

upgrade allegro

  https://github.com/c...13...my-fork-14

 

vendor zlib

vendor libpng

update nativefiledialog

  This fixes an issue where on Windows the native file dialog always

  opened at the most recently viewed folder, instead of using whatever

  folder ZC requested to open.

 

 

# Refactors

 

speed up bitmap rendering by removing branch

speed up draw_tile16_unified

simplify overtile16

speed up puttile16

speed up drawtile16_cs2

speed up overtile8

cache bitmap used in overtile16_scale

 

use vsnprintf instead of uvszprintf for text rendering

  The Unicode-aware allegro function makes text rendering ~40% slower, but

  we don't need Unicode here.

 

log error reason when failing to open file

log all al_trace output to stdout (except on Windows)

zc: stop printing include paths in zplayer

zq: upgrade Under Combo dialog to new gui
