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.
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).
Fix plando's sprite support
Always write both sprite and pallet (using the default if a sprite does
not include a pallet)
so that the adjuster still works.
Bee catchability was writing 0x08 instead of 0xF0 which causes crashing when bees spawn.
We wrote to the wrong value for Byrna's base cost which ended up corrupting the value of Cape cost.
Both are fixed.
This increases the starting time for timed-countdown and timed-ohko modes. It's +15 minutes for keysanity, +20 minutes for most varieties of entrance shuffle, and only +10 minutes for dungeonssimple and dungeonsfull. The bonus time is cut in half for hard difficulty or above with timed-ohko. Before this, it was extremely unrealistic to be able to complete these modes without a time over.
-Properly set overflow counts and items for progressive equipment and bottles.
-Fairy fountains can no longer give free fairies on hard or above
-Shields now have hiked prices on hard and above consistent with vt rando
-KevinCathcart's new integer based writebytes functions are added for future backend use.
-Dungeon item counts always displayed in easy mode if not also timed mode
-Timed-OHKO timer amounts updated to modern values (didn't actually measure out the red clock, set it to "large negative number" which should be functionally identical to the -32400 seconds that vt uses)
-Set most flags for hard mode (todo: fix shield prices)
-Stop writing a flag that used to set pyramid respawns (it now messes with Cape quarter magic cost in the spike cave)
-KevinCathcart's checksum fix
-KevinCathcart fix for not placing Maps/Compasses
This is the Great renaming. Renaming to match V27. I've renamed pretty
much all Item locations to match, with a small number kept deliberatly
deferent for clarity.
There is probably more renaming that should be done at the Enterance and
Region levels, but that can be done later.
Updates include:
* Allow acticating tablets with hammer
* Remove 1/4 magic from the normal mode pool
* Incorporate OHKO compatible cape/cane-of-byrna requirements
* Upgrade Mirror Shield, Progressive Shield, and Bug Catching Net to
qualify as advancement items
* Allow Mirror shield as alternative to cape/byrna for Laser Bridge
* Prevent Waterfall Fairy from upgrading Boomerang or Shield
* Change PoD key logic to match VT26.
* Add restrictions on small key placement (to match VT26). I think these
restrictions may be redundant, but I'm adding them just in case any of
them are not.
