Julie Marchant 24f44e509f Implemented Unicode text rendering... I think?
I'm in a bit of a rush so I can't check yet (also it's deactivated
for now). But I think I'm finished? Will check later.

Julie Marchant 0d822ee7d7 Changed my name indicated in the credits from "onpon4" to "Julie Marchant". 2019-05-23 11:29:02 -04:00

onpon4 e3c2e2fddc Switched the build system from a hand-made makefile to Autotools.
That actually took quite some time, but it's finally finished now.
It's missing only a couple minor things from the old Makefile.

onpon4 94b93c6ddb Removed the intro text.
I considered rewriting it, but I don't think the intro text really
adds anything. Starfighter is an action game, not an adventure game,
so it's just out of place to show a paragraph of backstory before
the game starts.

onpon4 ac844d8d54 Removed the "planets" data files.
This is the last of the data files I wanted to remove.

This commit also includes some dialog changes.

I copied some of this code into a comment elsewhere, because I want
to use it as a reference when creating a new save format.

onpon4 e557d9920a Removed the suggestion from the Comms screen that Phoebe's name is unknown.
I think this might partly be because of my dialog changes, but this
causes a minor continuity error, since the mission clearly states
that you're rescuing "Phoebe Lexx", and there's also the fact that
the indicator now says "Phoebe" instead of "Target". I figure just
make her name known from the start; the explanation can be that the
ship automatically transmits the name.

onpon4 e71e3b8a96 Moved the "brief" data files to C code. 2016-01-07 21:18:14 -05:00
onpon4 822ff849e4 Removed the very last of the image-related magic numbers (in source code).
The only magic numbers left now are related to positioning, image
sizing, and the remaining "data" files (the "planets" and "brief" ones).
At least, I'm pretty sure that's the case.

onpon4 5acc9f37f3 Moved cutscenes to C. 2016-01-04 20:17:06 -05:00
onpon4 0da184f424 Moved the ship image definitions to C code.
Now, this has an unfortunate effect of screwing up cutscenes. I'll
fix that by moving cutscene definitions to C as well.

onpon4 228671a560 Updated copyright notices, marked starfighter.desktop as trusted. 2016-01-03 17:49:32 -05:00
onpon4 16473a715f Moved alien definitions from ".dat" files to alien.cpp.
Like "scripts", these definitions in text files make absolutely no
sense. They are completely unreadable, and Starfighter's engine is
inflexible anyway.
2016-01-03 14:14:31 -05:00
onpon4 e258921987 Moved all "script" files to C code.
I'm going to do this for all of the stuff in the "data" directory.
It was obviously an attempt to make Starfighter more flexible
somehow, but it fails at that entirely. More importantly, these
things are both unreadable and easy to make mistakes on. Simple
C code is much easier to read.

The only disadvantage is that recompiling is now needed to change
the "scripts", but considering that they had hidden limits and
no one was making custom missions to begin with, I don't consider
this to be a real loss.

onpon4 bdf1b49d44 Removed a broken failure condition from the "script" of mission 13.
To my recollection, actually, this bug has *always* been present.
At first, I fixed it (the problem was the entry in script13.txt
was malformed), but when I did that, it caused the objective of
destroying Ursula's ship to be considered completed. In other words,
the game doesn't even have code to handle this as a failure
condition! So I've decided to remove it instead. It wasn't that
great of an idea, anyway.

onpon4 e3d6ab1a81 More dialog tweaks. 2015-06-11 23:14:46 -04:00
onpon4 6fa0321d31 Edited dialog.
Mainly to better match Chris's new portrait.

onpon4 b71a99fbe5 Added improvements to Sid by Lachlan Cartland. 2015-06-10 11:02:13 -04:00

onpon4 139fe8bd9e Some small tweaks/fixes. 2015-03-28 22:33:11 -04:00
onpon4 7e69ee79ad Replaced the Sourceforge link in various places with a Savannah link. 2015-03-26 22:25:12 -04:00
onpon4 bb0d6b4849 Modified cutscene 4 text. 2015-03-09 19:39:21 -04:00
onpon4 982d39278c Removed the dialog from the start of mission 26.
I feel it's unnecessary, and it can be an annoying wait if you're
struggling with Kline.
2015-03-08 17:56:38 -04:00
onpon4 912ff8b86c Modified script for mission 11 to better match the music. 2015-03-08 16:19:41 -04:00
onpon4 60783849e4 Removed the extro text from the credits.
I don't feel it's really necessary, and besides, it's annoying that
due to the way it's implemented it prevents you from doing anything
while it's shown.

onpon4 bce8932119 Changed the mercenary's claim about his ship being an upgraded Firefly.
The claim made sense with the original graphics, but with the current
graphics replacements, the Firefly and his ship look nothing alike.
To remedy this, the mercenary's dialog no longer calls it an
"upgrade to the standard Firefly". He just thanks Chris and says that
he made it.

onpon4 e2c2fdf944 Added JunglistMilitia to the credits. 2015-03-03 07:32:28 -05:00
onpon4 b378457215 Fixed a typo. 2015-02-27 19:21:20 -05:00
onpon4 d4d64dda6b Corrected bad use of fscanf.
In most cases, this has also resulted in limits being lifted. (The
only place I haven't done this is for planets in intermission.cpp,
but I think I'll take away that 10-planet limit as well.)

Guus Sliepen 8810b090fa Remove external files for missions, shop items, aliens and weapons.
The source code contains routines to initialise all these resources, but also
functions to load from and store to external files.  Support for external files
has now been removed; this removes a potential difference between compiling
with or without USEPAK, and makes it easier to change missions in the code.

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 78459e9fdb Update copyright notices, bump version to 1.2. 2012-02-26 22:25:57 +01:00
Guus Sliepen bde2d5c8cf Update credits.
- Explicitly mention all the authors and licenses used for the new graphics
  and sounds.
- Remove credits for the old music.
- Mention Valgrind and cppcheck under the Quality Assurance section.
- 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 d6c17d176f Don't use .bmp and .gif anymore, use .png for all lossless graphics. 2011-08-27 16:18:29 +02:00
Guus Sliepen 3dcea6c81f Fix a spelling error. 2011-08-27 12:24:37 +02:00

Guus Sliepen 3d1b5ab67b Import data/ directory.
This has already some typos fixed that were fixed in the Debian package of starfighter.
