onpon4 e9330907b7 Reconstructed player hit messages. 2016-11-19 08:24:12 -05:00
onpon4 7578f3814f Removed the death messages.
At first I was doing the same thing to them I did to the bragging
messages, but when it came to actually thinking of things these
characters should say, nothing I liked came up. The main problem
is nothing fits the characters' expressions. Add to that the
complexity of making this really work right, and it's just not
worth it.

The Sid death message has also been removed, both for consistency
and because of the mismatch of Chris's face with what he said there.

onpon4 3c6c41ee49 Added simpler kill messages for Phoebe and Ursula. 2016-11-17 22:36:53 -05:00
onpon4 3987ffc9b1 Added some kill messages for Chris.
I'll be adding some more that include talking to Phoebe and Ursula
later.

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 dda76c8fe4 Added a message to make it clearer to newcomers that you can leave early.
The game previously didn't give any clear indication that secondary
objectives are optional. This message should make this feature more
obvious.

onpon4 362584ff38 Made some corrections to the documentation. 2016-06-02 10:58:49 -04:00

onpon4 59334f3818 1.5.1 release
A bit early, but that problem with mines was just awful.
2016-01-13 20:54:36 -05:00
onpon4 59088cce0c Make mines simply disappear when they time out rather than exploding.
The explosions of mines off in the distance are extremely annoying in
the Mars mission, in particular. There's no real point in them
doing a timed off-screen explosion, anyway; if they just disappear,
the player won't notice.

onpon4 2ea268c704 Corrected the install location for the icon. 2016-01-12 15:41:24 -05:00
onpon4 47c8dfd1d9 And thus ends the saga of stupidity. 2016-01-12 14:54:41 -05:00
onpon4 a3afb0a133 Whoops
Just... whoops. *game*.timeTaken, not *engine*.timeTaken. Fixed that...
2016-01-12 14:53:34 -05:00
onpon4 a2e2207a67 Reversed a ruinous change.
Dur... event times can be negative, and yet here I am changing it to
unsigned.
2016-01-12 14:43:42 -05:00
onpon4 3c35f4043d Added installation of starfighter.desktop and starfighter.png. 2016-01-12 14:03:08 -05:00
onpon4 855481e965 Bumped to 1.5.1-dev. 2016-01-12 10:43:57 -05:00
onpon4 a0f68d722b Fixed type inconsistency.
SDL_GetTicks() returns Uint32, but I was using the long int type,
which could mean signed or unsigned, not to mention any size. Changed
missionCompleteTimer and timeTaken to Uint32 for consistency.

onpon4 e6bd534cdf More magic numbers. 2016-01-11 22:42:45 -05:00

2016-01-11 20:01:11 -05:00
onpon4 c764c4d8b7 Added code to prevent loud sounds from being overtaken by quiet sounds.
This prevents the weird effect where you hear a bunch of sounds of
majorly different volumes starting and stopping. If, for example, you
have several mines exploding nearby as well as several mines exploding
far away at the same time, you will hear the near ones and not the far
ones.
2016-01-11 00:10:55 -05:00
onpon4 0929abf3a3 Added a Y component to audio_playSound, and reduction of volume by distance.
This makes it possible to remove code that made mines that exploded
off-screen completely inaudible.
2016-01-10 23:56:26 -05:00
onpon4 5ba8759804 Increased the chance of the cloak fighter running.
Also fixed the chance in Classic difficulty; accidentally made it
10 times as likely as in the original.
2016-01-10 19:07:16 -05:00
onpon4 801170678a More readme updates. 2016-01-09 23:06:38 -05:00
onpon4 e10edf0018 Updated the readme. 2016-01-09 22:56:46 -05:00
onpon4 8a27879df2 Updated the manual. 2016-01-09 22:48:14 -05:00
onpon4 1ada79e695 Don't hide the "Load Game" menu. 2016-01-09 22:30:25 -05:00
onpon4 285fb8e614 Made the Continue and Load options not appearing work again.
This must have been screwed up a loooong time ago. Anyway, it now
hides these menu options as it should when there is no autosave
available.
2016-01-09 22:26:31 -05:00
onpon4 9dedf500c8 Adjusted the status screen.
Several pointless lines have been removed, and I've added a workaround
to fix a segfault that was happening when Phoebe or Ursula were not
wingmates yet.
2016-01-09 22:15:28 -05:00
onpon4 edacc25821 Fixed incomplete transition to the new save format.
Had to slightly adjust the save format as well.
2016-01-09 22:00:20 -05:00
onpon4 b66bb4bf98 Replaced the struct dump "save format" with a proper save format.
This format is actually portable, and there isn't a risk of it just
breaking any time the format is changed, since the version number
can be read independently of everything else.
2016-01-09 19:58:07 -05:00
onpon4 290d44386a Treat distance between planets as always 1 if no interception chance. 2016-01-09 10:40:29 -05:00
onpon4 8793aaa780 Added a small chance of getting intercepted in Spirit.
These interceptions only have "dualfighters" on them, since that is
in-line with the normal difficulty of Spirit.
2016-01-09 10:26:15 -05:00
onpon4 0fb3c04b5e Removed the instant teleportation in Spirit.
I understand where this came from; obviously, this was how travel
originally worked, and then the version that made interceptions
possible was added later. But the thing is, making Spirit a special
case causes the interface to suddenly change on you, and that breaks
the flow of the game for no particular reason other than saving a
bit of time. So this special code which causes you to instantly
teleport in Spirit has now been removed. There is still no danger
of encountering interceptions, but I'll be changing that for all
non-Classic difficulties as well in another commit.
2016-01-09 10:13:32 -05:00
onpon4 d5a66ffc01 Changed the text hint for Comms screen to "Missions".
This is more to-the-point. It should lower the learning curve a bit.
2016-01-09 10:06:16 -05:00
onpon4 336c047d8e Removed the unnecessary "INCOMPLETE" text from the Comms view. 2016-01-09 10:04:55 -05:00
