That is, if the PROP tool is active and is configured correctly, instead of sampling a type and activating the corresponding ElementTool, sample whichever property has been configured in the PROP tool and put the result back into the PROP tool.
The problem is that Engine outlives GameController and thus also LuaScriptInterface. The solution is to not try to access LSI's lua_State if it doesn't exist; this is the case in Engine's dtor.
This is ugly as hell and the root of the problem is the cursed ownership model of LuaComponents and Windows by Engine, which I don't think I'll be fixing any time soon.
PMODE_SPARK does weird colour ops with alpha values larger than 255, so of course it looks odd with the new code that expects alpha to be at most 255. The solution is to do the work on the spot.
Other effects may also be affected by this new assumption.
This was because brushes are not in an initialized state by default, SetRadius needs to be called on them before they can be used. This is ensured elsewhere but had not been ensured on this code path.
This is hilariously bad design and needs to be fixed sometime.
This had been overlooked for a long time because intensity defaults to 1.0f and is seldom changed. The underlying issue is that an intensity value higher than 1.0f produces fire_alpha values above 255, which the new graphics code doesn't deal with properly. That said, that code works fine for every other case, so the solution is to add a special case for when fire_alpha is used.
By refusing to exit unless the property being set is correct, rather than throwing an error when it's not and exiting anyway. It's still possible to cancel changing the current setting by exiting with Esc.
This was an unused and by default disabled element that did nothing even when enabled. 146 used to be the element ID allocated to some legacy GOL variant that I cannot be bothered to look into, and the element itself existed in this vegetative state for years to ensure some sort of compatibility that I found no trace of or reason for.
Also make the element list friendlier, both for humans and for git. The list held consecutive integers starting from 0, so it was ripe for factoring. Element ID's are skipped if the name that they would normally belong to is not a string but rather a disabler(), the closest thing to a null/nil/none value in meson.
This allows multiple instances of the game to be loaded in a single page.
Also stop emitting htmls as a build artifact and require presence of #PowderSessionInfo.
Notable changes:
- tpt.{input,throw_error,message_box,confirm} have been superseded by ui.begin{Input,ThrowError,MessageBox,Confirm}, each with an extra callback argument and no blocking behaviour, but otherwise the same semantics as their predecessors.
- The "script not responding" error doesn't wait for user confirmation anymore, it fires without asking. Future exercise: maybe let the user configure the timeout.
- Remove the confirmPrompt argument of tpt.getscript; this also means it unconditionally fails if the destination file exists.
Because apparently GameSaves can have type = 0 particles.
Also possibly fix other odd phenomena. Background: I moved all spawnability checks to the previous loop over particles in 2e2c3181b5 and removed all of them from this loop. It turns out that I should have at least left the type == 0 check alone, because that's what ultimately prevented particles from being added to the simulation.
Both Save and Load were recently migrated to block coordinates, see 7ef02a6c0b. The expected behaviour for Save is to extend the particle-oriented rect it gets to the smallest enclosing block-oriented rect and save all blocks inside that rect, but exclude the particles that fall outside the original rect. Using block coordinates made this exclusion impossible.
Since b393050e55, surface normals were calculated incorrectly because blocking cells were detected as blocking only if they were within the heading of the scout process (see that commit for terminology). This had been true even before that commit but it had had less visible effects because both processes would traverse their neighbours in the same order, which the initial heading approximation code (direction_to_map, removed in this commit) had worked better with.
This commit fixes this by separating information about blocking entirely from information about current heading, as it should be. This fixes a few prism-type saves such as id:1188302, but is also not entirely backwards-compatible, for all saves that are considered broken as far as normal calculation code is concerned (e.g. the surfaces are not long enough or are wobbly) will now be broken differently from before. This affects for example many coalescing laser-type saves such as id:482187 that rely on very specific arrangements of very few particles of reflective material behaving as perfect 45deg mirrors.
Recent changes made to multiple instances of paste placement code caused inconsistencies between what paste previews suggested would happen and what actually happened during pasting. Relevant code factored out.
This makes the *A Win32 API variants work correctly with UTF-8 parameters, which is nice because standard C/C++ facilities use those (because microsoft's libc is a steaming pile of microsoft code). OF COURSE this only works on win10 1903 and above. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/globalizing/use-utf8-code-page
Not useful anymore, it can only fail if the GameSave passed in is nullptr, which this commit guards against.
Also make Simulation::Load and Simulation::Save take block-oriented positions and rects.
This is good enough for now but also more limited than I'd like because if the thumbnail arrives (gets rendered or downloaded) later than the preview is opened, it's never shown.
This also fixes local save thumbnails being resized such that they are just short of filling the space they are supposed to.
Also fix textboxes drawing their borders in the wrong place.
flood_water would occasionally corrupt pmap by moving the pmap entry at i's location even if the entry itself didn't refer to i. pmap updates are tricky, they are best handled by Simulation::move.
Saving blockair/blockairh is nice because RecalculateBlockAirMaps uses the sim rng, which means the sim rng would get advanced in Simulation::Load. Also rename RecalculateBlockAirMaps to ApproximateBlockAirMaps because that's what it is, an approximation, and it's needed only if there are no block air maps in the save.
Simulation::frameCount keeps track of frames elapsed since the beginning of the simulation, zeroed at clear_sim. It overflows when it reaches the 64-bit limit, which means anything that depends on it should either handle this, or not fail catastrophically. sandcolour (the only thing that depends on it as of now) is a good example of the latter: sandcolour has a periodicity of 360 frames, which means that there is one sandcolour period that is cut short by the overflow. This is not "handled" (the period is cut short, which is detectable by users) but is not catastrophic either (it's not a big deal, and it won't ever happen unless someone hacks the save).
Also restrict saves with determinism data to 98.0.
Achieved by adding a new element property called CarriesTypeIn, whose bits signal to save loading code which properties of particles of the element class in question carry element IDs. The bits in this property are numbered the same way as sim.FIELD_* constants for consistency. One would signal from Lua that a custom element carries element IDs in its tmp like this:
elem.property(id, "CarriesTypeIn", 2 ^ sim.FIELD_TMP)
"Carrying an element ID in a property" is to be interpreted as follows: the property is treated as a combination of a PMAPBITS-bit (so, currently 9-bit) unsigned integer lower part holding an element ID and a 32-PMAPBITS-bit (so, currently 23-bit) signed integer upper part holding whatever makes sense for the element. CONV, for example, uses this signed integer in its ctype as the extra "v" parameter for particle creation.
Some checks on particles, most importantly whether their element IDs refers to an enabled element, were done _before_ in-save element IDs are mapped to in-simulation element IDs. This resulted in some particles being removed if their IDs were unlucky enough.
A bug existed before where certain events would not update Engine's lastTick. If the sim was lagging hard, then this could cause "script is not responding" errors to appear in unintentional situations.
The starting execution time is tracked in LuaScriptInterface instead now, and set in tpt_lua_pcall
Also replace a few rename calls with RenameFile calls. Old code doesn't expect rename to overwrite existing files without question, when it in fact can.
These are the only bit of shared state between the Request user thread and RequestManager that aren't covered by RequestHandle::stateMx. The problem was that they were not covered by anything, which meant that they were not guaranteed to be coherent between threads.
Also fix WriteFile being unable to overwrite existing files. The rename would fail because the file was still open, and the sanity remove in response to that would also fail for the same reason.
We can't rely on atexit, handlers registered with it are in a hard to establish ordering relationship with destructors of static and thread-local objects.
Namely: no, yes, and yes and ask at startup.
The install_check option is thus replaced by the can_install option. -Dinstall_check=true maps to -Dcan_install=yes_check, while -Dinstall_check=false maps to -Dcan_install=yes. -Dcan_install=no is new and is recommended for downstream packaging, where -Dinstall_check=false was historically used.
Also improve error messages about bad configuration here and there and scatter configuration code in subdirectories, where they can be closer to their areas of effect.
... while retaining all the functionality of stamps.def.
Also fix stamp names encoding only 32 bits of the timestamp, migrate from stamps.def to stamps.json if the latter doesn't exist, delete both on migration to the shared data directory, rescan stamps at startup, and make rescanning a painless process in general by removing invalid entries and adding missing entires at the beginning of the list.
Request ownership is no longer flaky. Requests are now owned by the code that makes requests, and Requests and the RequestManager co-own RequestHandles. RequestManager disowns a RequestHandle if it's done with it or if Request code reports that it's no longer needed.
All libcurl code has been moved to RequestManager. This is nice because once NOHTTP is removed, we can add any number of RequestManager implementations, for example one for Android.
Client outliving RequestManager is still a problem, this will have to be addressed later.
More precisely, refactor the code responsible for routing these GameController events to the Lua side. The issue with the previous solution was it relied on preprocessor macros to switch between Lua-ful and Lua-less builds.
