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.
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.
Make the help button and output directory button available regardless of
selected tab.
Make controls on both tabs share underlying state where it makes sense
to do so.
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.
This is a simple tweak adding a mirror connection between the main Light World and the Hyrule Castle Courtyard. This will very rarely come into play; it only matters in circumstances where the uncle tunnel does not instantly connect to the courtyard (some madness/insanity situations and when Ganon's tunnel is there in full and below), when the player does not have access to the upper levels of Hyrule Castle or to the pyramid, but the player does have the Mirror. This correctly acknowledges that entering the castle main gate is fully and permanently softlock proof in this situation.
These are the basic adjuster files setting up for a new feature in the next release. Already randomized ROMs can be adjusted after the fact and have quickswap, fast menu, disable music, heartbeep rate, or a custom sprite applied or removed at the user's discretion with the checksum being properly updated. For now, the validity check for a randomized ROM is simply that it is exactly 2 MiB long and has a file name that ends in .sfc (while .smc is a valid SNES ROM file extension, no existing randomizer programs use it for output). This feature will need more updating with the new v28 features before it's ready for primetime; KevinCathcart's sprite selector will be an important part of this feature, and I believe variable speed fastmenu will be supported by the v28 base ROM so I'd want to make that selectable as well. For now, this should work as building blocks.
