What changed in EDuke32, build by build

Patch from Fox.

2. In "EVENT_DISPLAYCROSSHAIR" and "EVENT_DISPLAYCURSOR", make "userdef[].return" 1 and 2 return the coordinates, and 3 the alpha ("EVENT_DISPLAYCURSOR" only). 3. New event "EVENT_DISPLAYPOINTER" Similar to "EVENT_DISPLAYCURSOR", it is used to display the pointer that controls the aiming in Wii. "RETURN" / "userdef[].return" work in the same way as "EVENT_DISPLAYCURSOR". Patch from Fox.

This works like an extension of the RETURN gamevar and it accepts multiple values. Reading or writing the value of "userdef[].return 0" is the same as reading of writing the RETURN gamevar. The following userdefs are now aliases: - m_origin_x = userdef[].return 1 - m_origin_y = userdef[].return 2 - screenarea_x1 = userdef[].return 0 - screenarea_y1 = userdef[].return 1 - screenarea_x1 = userdef[].return 2 Additionally, the API for EVENT_PLAYLEVELMUSICSLOT is hereby redefined to use return 1 and 2 (not 0) _instead of_ ud.m_*_number. Patch from Fox.

Make sure ud.displaybonusscreen is set to 1 if you want this to take place. The bonus screen can still be skipped by setting RETURN to -1 in EVENT_ENDLEVELSCREEN.

Inspired by x86 assembly, these stand for "above" and "below", and perform unsigned versions of greater-than and less-than, respectively. Useful for testing array bounds.

Patch from Fox.

Called when a music track will be started from the beginning, and when the current track is continued after loading a save, etc. The requested track is passed into PLAYLEVELMUSICSLOT via ud.m_volume_number and ud.m_level_number.

New events: "EVENT_MENUCURSORLEFT" "EVENT_MENUCURSORRIGHT" "EVENT_MENUCURSORSHADE" "EVENT_MENUSHADESELECTED" New userdef structures: "menu_shadedeselected" "menu_shadedisabled" "menutext_zoom" "menutext_xspace" "menutext_pal" "menutext_palselected" "menutext_paldeselected" "menutext_paldisabled" "menutext_palselected_right" "menutext_paldeselected_right" "menutext_paldisabled_right" "gametext_zoom" "gametext_xspace" "gametext_pal" "gametext_palselected" "gametext_paldeselected" "gametext_paldisabled" "gametext_palselected_right" "gametext_paldeselected_right" "gametext_paldisabled_right" "minitext_zoom" "minitext_xspace" "minitext_tracking" "minitext_pal" "minitext_palselected" "minitext_paldeselected" "minitext_paldisabled" "minitext_palselected_right" "minitext_paldeselected_right" "minitext_paldisabled_right" "menutitle_pal" "slidebar_palselected" "slidebar_paldisabled" Self-explanatory. Use in conjunction with "menutext_tracking" and "gametext_tracking" ("mgametext_tracking" is now ignored). The values for disabled shade is added to the selected or deselected shades. The palettes have a disabled > selected > deselected hierarchy, and are applied if not zero. Patch from Fox

divr <dividend> <divisor> Divide gamevar <dividend> by <divisor> and round (aka round to nearest) the result. A result of 0.5 will equal 1. divru <dividend> <divisor> Divide gamevar <dividend> by <divisor> and round up (aka round away from zero) the result. Additionally "divrd" can be used to round down (aka round toward zero), which is equivalent to the current div command as tested on x86, ARM, and PowerPC. Note that "shiftr" rounds up negative values. Patch from Fox.

RETURN is the tilenum to be displayed. It is pre-populated with what the game will display for the current frame. Set RETURN to -1 to disable.

When pressed it switches between pipebomb / detonator or shrinker / expander. New event "EVENT_ALTWEAPON" Akin to "EVENT_PREVIOUSWEAPON" and "EVENT_NEXTWEAPON". RETURN is set to 12. Patch from Fox.

"statusbarflags" is a bitfield. Values are: STATUSBAR_NONONE = 1 STATUSBAR_NOMINI = 2 STATUSBAR_NOFULL = 4 STATUSBAR_NOSHRINK = 8 STATUSBAR_NOFRAGBAR = 16 STATUSBAR_NOOVERLAY = 32 STATUSBAR_NOMODERN = 64 Default value is 8. In case you modify it, you also have to set the other status bar related userdefs in EVENT_SETDEFAULTS. Default values in EDuke32 are: screen_size = 4; statusbarmode = 1; althud = 1; "statusbarrange" is used to add more alternatives for the status bar without breaking the option in the menu. If used, the mini status bar (screen_size = 4) will cycle through "statusbarcustom" when changing the screen size. Also fix the size of the viewport when the screen is shrunk and the scale of the status bar is not 100%. Patch from Fox.

New event "EVENT_MAINMENUSCREEN" Triggered before the main menu is displayed. Set RETURN to -1 to disable the screens that appear before the main menu. New event "EVENT_NEWGAMESCREEN" Triggered when a new game is started. Set RETURN to -1 to disable The Birth intro animation. New event "EVENT_ENDLEVELSCREEN" Triggered when a level ends. Set RETURN to -1 to disable the bonus and deathmatch score screens after a level ends. New event "EVENT_EXITGAMESCREEN" Triggered when a running game is ended. Set RETURN to -1 to disable the deathmatch score screen when you quit mid-game. New event "EVENT_EXITPROGRAMSCREEN" Triggered when the program is closed. Set RETURN to -1 to disable the shareware or TEN screen,sif they were enabled in LOGO_FLAGS. Patch from Fox.

Use this event to change the value of userdefs when initializing cfg settings with defaults. Patch from Fox.

Overrides the aspect ratio for IVF files. cutscene <path> { aspect <numerator> <denominator> } Note: For ANMs, you can use rotatesprite and setaspect to draw TILE_ANIM (currently defined as 30716) in EVENT_CUTSCENE with a custom aspect. Patch from Fox.
