- The free/restricted axis distinction is gone; the joystick always
operates in "free" mode.
- Added direction snapping functionality to help aid exact movement in
cardinal and/or diagonal directions. The snapping angle can be
adjusted from 0% (disabled) to 100% (similar to the old "restricted"
mode). The snapping angle can also be biased towards cardinals or
diagonals.
- When the maximum zone is less than or equals dead zone, moving
the character will always move at maximum speed (as in the old
"restricted" mode).
- Most of these settings are now visualized in the options menu and can
be tested there.
This requires some look-ahead, so quantize_lasers will now compute all
samples ahead of time before starting to build segments. The samples are
held in a global dynamic array to minimize reallocations.
Not included by default, intended for custom distributions (for DoKomi
in particular)
Also improve the upgrade mechanism by ignoring settings that were not
changed in the config being parsed.
The framedump mode captures every frame and saves it as a .png image.
This can be useful for rendering videos.
To activate, set the `TAISEI_FRAMEDUMP` environment variable to a
prefix. A 8-digit frame number followed by ".png" will be appended to
this string to form the filename of each frame.
Example:
$ mkdir /var/tmp/taisei
$ export TAISEI_FRAMEDUMP="/var/tmp/taisei/frame-"
$ taisei -f1 -r /foo/some-replay.tsr
$ ls /var/tmp/taisei
frame-00000000.png frame-00000001.png frame-00000002.png
...
`TAISEI_FRAMEDUMP_SOURCE` can be set to either "screen" or "viewport".
The default is "screen", which records the whole game screen as it
appears (minus the letterboxing borders). "viewport" makes it record the
stage viewport only. The image is taken directly from the viewport
framebuffer, so elements that are drawn over the viewport will be
missing, such as the dialogue or the pause menu.
`TAISEI_FRAMEDUMP_COMPRESSION` can be set to change the quality of zlib
compression of the png images, ranging from 0 to 9. The default is 1.
Additionally, it's now possible to take screenshots of the game viewport
by pressing Alt+P (by default). This works on the same principle as
`TAISEI_FRAMEDUMP_SOURCE=viewport`, so the same caveats apply. This can
be used to take a clean screenshot of the viewport while the game is
paused.
