Guus Sliepen 3be6a63fd8 Start of new music using ABC and Csound.
Two basic, unfinished songs, written in ABC notation are added. The Makefile
will convert the .abc files to MIDI files, which are rendered using Csound. At
the moment, Csound is set up to use the Fluidsynth engine to render sound using
soundfonts, and the reverbsc opcode is used to add a reverb effect.

ABC notation is much easier to write music in than using "raw" Csound score
notation. Also, the abcm2ps utility can create very nice sheet music from ABC
files.

Guus Sliepen c72fa54344 Replace plasma sound effect with one generated using Csound.
This is the first sound effect which is generated from scratch
using Csound. The advantages of this are:

- Real source code for sound.
- Anyone with a text editor can tweak the sound effects.
- Source code is much more compact that the sound file itself.
- Sound files can be regenerated with arbitrary quality.

Guus Sliepen 7bc36c16b2 Make the very first cutscene a little bit more interesting.
Before, all the ships were moving at exactly the same speed, making them appear
static on screen.  Now, Chris is moving slowly to the right, but the WEAPCO
fighters are changing velocity now and then, both horizontally and vertically,
never quite reaching Chris but increasing their attempts.

Guus Sliepen 3c9f8e2135 Do not allow player to switch destinations in flight.
When travelling between planets, while the progress bar was growing, it was
possible to click on planets, thereby changing the final destination planet.

Guus Sliepen f51dbd0669 Use a better way to create images of ships taking damage.
The old technique was to overlay a semi-transparent red rectangle over an
existing ship image, and then make 50% red pixels transparent. For some reason,
the transparency is not working correctly. Instead, don't overlay anything,
but set the red component of all non-black pixels to the maximum value.

Guus Sliepen 336a0798fa Don't overwrite static data files.
The code always tries to overwrite some data files when not using a .pak
file. This is only useful for upstream development. Put #ifdefs around
this code.
2012-02-27 15:35:56 +01:00
Guus Sliepen 4c5eed148f chdir() to the data directory before loading data.
This is necessary for starfighter to find the data files if it is not
using a .pak file.

Guus Sliepen 1d25dd0379 Fix status display of plasma output boosters during game. 2011-09-17 11:24:56 +02:00
Guus Sliepen 96996ce167 Redo the whole plasma system.
- We now have both minPlasma* and maxPlasma* variables.
- *PlasmaRate now goes from 1 to 5 just like Damage and Output.
- Internally, plasma now goes into the primary weapon, there is no
  temporary weapon anymore.
- When upgrading the primary weapon, the new minimum amount of Damage,
  Output and Rate immediately goes into effect when starting the next
  msision.
- Super Charge now works exactly the same again as in the original.
- But shows blinkenlights in the bottom status bar when it is in use.

- Add myself as additional programmer, Astrid as replacement graphics and sound
  finder.

Guus Sliepen e7f5c3825b Simplify spread bullet code.
There were three flags, WF_STRAIGHT, WF_THIN_SPREAD and WF_WIDE_SPREAD,
when only one flag, WF_SPREAD suffices. This makes the code simpler and
gets rid of some duplication.

Guus Sliepen ac71e3d3ec Explicit limits for the maximum amount of rockets.
Put the maximum amount of rockets that can be caried in the description, and
also adjust the amount of rocket pods one has when buying a secondary weapon.
The laser and charge beam will remove all rocket capacity. To soften the blow,
you get at least capacity for 5 rockets when buying homing missile systems,
or 10 when buying normal missile system.

Guus Sliepen 744f1977e1 Reset charge cannon charge and laser heat after each mission.
This prevents these variables from turning into a huge amount of missiles when
buying a missile launcher in the shop.

This fixes Debian bug #286933.

Guus Sliepen 6bfba4064b Make wrap() functions really wrap.
Before, if a value was over one of the limits, it would be set to the
other limit. For most usecases, that was fine, however for the starfield
this would cause stars to become aligned to each other after a while.

making certain missions impossible to complete.
