This is the starting point for the new custom item pool feature that will let users specify the item pool. It is functional, perhaps due for some minor tweaking and definitely needs more testing. The command line side is bad, just two parameters that hopefully don't do anything under any circumstance if the user tries to use them (don't really intend to support a command line version of this feature); maybe there's a better way to let the command line ER work in general without having any opportunity to activate this feature. The GUI should probably show the user the sum of the current item pool out of 153 so the user knows how to size the item pool more easily, but that's a todo.
Open dialogs now filter by correct file extensions
Sort sprites by name (instead of disk order)
Better handle blank author names in zspr files.
Sort paths by name. (Otherwise the Bomb shop entry if present looks
wrong)
Makes can_extend_magic take an argument for how much magic is needed in total. Fixes rule issues with Trinexx, spike cave, and swordless Agahnim's Tower.
For an example of a circumstance in which the existing code produces
incorrect spheres, consider the following item locations in the vanilla
entrance layout:
* byrna in sphere 0
* hammer in sphere 0
* gloves in sphere 0
* bottle in sphere 0
* bow in spike cave (sphere 1)
* cape in hype cave (sphere 1)
* flippers on bumper cave Ledge (sphere 2)
* lastly both Swamp and PoD are pendants.
Well the culling phase will remove Byrna, because cape is good enough to
still get the bow. But now the bow in sphere 1 depends on the cape also
from sphere 1.
Fastmenu is now a variable menu speed setting instead of an on/off toggle. This update reflects that and gives the player a lot of options for the particular setting (normal, instant, double, triple, quadruple, half). A smaller change in this update is removing quickswap and fastmenu from the output file name of the randomizer (reflective of how the adjuster allows them to be shifted freely anyway) and shortening the verbiage for when progressive settings are changed (quality of life change there).
This section will contain the first path found to each location listed
in the spoiler log's walkthrough.
Also implemented is a performance enhancement that more than cancels out
any slowdown caused by the above code.
