stephena 1b19d4a29f More cleanups to the UI.
Context menus, both as right-mouse button popups and those part of
PopupWidgets now have arrows that support scrolling, without having to
continuously click the mouse button.  The scroll arrow color also
changes to disabled when they reach the upper or lower range.
Also, the maximum number of items shown in a ContextMenu is now 16,
which looks quite a bit nicer than showing 30 or so all at once.

ScrollBarWidget now looks a little nicer, as the scroll bar is a little
wider, and the arrows are larger (same ones from ContextMenu).  As well,
click and hold works on the scroll buttons, even during mouse movement.
This means you no longer have to hold the mouse completely still to
get continuous mouse click events.

Dialogs can now register whether they want to receive continuous mouse
click events (aka, click and hold of a mouse button).  Most dialogs
don't need it, and some even work incorrectly when it's activated.
This fixes a bug in ContextMenu, where click and hold on a PopupWidget
would continuously open and close the list of items.

stephena c9cae47787 When in normal resolution mode (aka, >= 640x480), ignore all screen modes
smaller than 640x480.  Basically, the only way to use smaller modes is
on systems that report their desktop to be smaller than 640x480, or by
using the maxres commandline argument to simulate the same thing.

stephena ee43255ea1 Many changes to the UI to fully support the smallest resolution that
Stella can use (320x240).  The app should no longer crash in such
low-res situations.

Various improvements to the UI, adding many finishing touches.  The
text is more descriptive, and the options are somewhat better labeled.
As well, the available options are better presented based on the
restrictions currently in use (ie, if the maximum resolution is very
small, then the high-res resolutions are not shown in selectors, etc).

Added MessageBox to ROM Audit functionality, to warn that it is a
dangerous operation and that a file backup is advised.

Updated OSX build script to not crash when an older image has already
been created.

stephena 6faa9b4b69 Several fixes across the board for better functionality in 'small'
window mode.  Using modes smaller that 640x480 should now work in
all cases when using the 'maxres' commandline argument.  Also, the
lower limit of 320x240 is now strictly enforced in all cases.

stephena 2977801ffa Added ability to use 'combo' events. Basically, these events
are multiple normal events that are called in sequence.  The
infrastructure is in place to use these events, and they're
loaded/saved in the 'combomap' commandline argument.  Still
TODO is add a UI to edit the events (manually editing the
config file is really tiresome).

stephena edb9a28eb1 Added MessageBox class, used to present a small message to the user from
the UI.

Modified the ROM launcher to display a messagebox when running Stella for
the first time (which currently means when the 'romdir' hasn't been set).
This messagebox suggests setting the default ROM directory, and if the
user clicks on 'OK', only then is the ROM directory file browser
displayed.

Reworked some of the event handling methods in EventHandler to save
function calls on every event.

stephena 3e7662c478 Fixed bug in loading RGBA PNG images; Stella can only handle RGB data.
Also, fixed a potential future bug where Stella can't handle paletted
images.  Basically, the error handling is now more robust.

Minor rework of the CartF8 class; it now looks the ROM MD5 directly and
decides if it's a 'special' ROM.

Several updates to the built-in properties database, including better
support for each game in the 8-in-1 ROM image.

Fixed crash in TIA handling of the playfield mask; it could cause a 
segfault under certain circumstances.

Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it now properly handles directory
names containing spaces in both Linux and OSX (and probably Windows as
well, but this hasn't been tested).

Updated built-in PNG library to the latest version (1.4.3).

2010-07-08 16:33:42 +00:00
stephena b59672542d Further improvements to accessing the UI with joystick axes and hats.
The event mapping for such events is now done on the release of the
axis/hat, and not on the first press.  This should fix the remaining
problems with sensitivity, as the user must explicit press and then
release the axis/hat, with all other events occurring the meantime
being ignored.

Fixed bug in continuous events for axes/hats; event that represent
'off' should not be continuously sent.

stephena e0376c85d2 Tweaked navigating the UI with a joystick, particularly with analog
axes.  It shouldn't be nearly as sensitive now.

Cleaned up handling of joystick hats, and fixed continuous events
(so that holding down a hat now sends continuous events until the
hat is centered again).

Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it didn't work with a snapshot
directory name containing a space.

2010-07-06 15:12:00 +00:00
stephena c3f5aa2810 When starting Stella for the first time (ie, when the ROM directory hasn't
been chosen), a dialog box now appears, asking the user to enter the
default directory.  This directory will appear each time the ROM launcher
is entered, until the user selects a directory.  This will hopefully
eliminate bug reports from users that don't know what to do when first
starting Stella.

Big changes to the manual, separating the necessary, up-front information
from the advanced stuff that can be considered later (or not at all).
Also added more links to ease navigation.  This should make the manual more
readable for those that have complained it's too long.

The setting for TV color type is now 'Color' and 'BW', instead of
'BlackAndWhite', as before.  The old one will continue to work, though.

2010-07-06 15:08:35 +00:00
stephena 78fd3c0c7d Modified joystick axis event handling, so that digital output is always used
when sending axis events to the DialogContainer (ie, all UI-related stuff).
The UI code was originally written with this in mind, and wasn't designed for
analog input.  For normal digital sticks, nothing changes.  For analog sticks,
values are clamped to 3 points (max, min, off), and repeated consecutive
events are ignored.  This (partially) fixes bugs in the UI, where pressing
an analog stick would cause the current selector to move very fast.

Added repeat mode for joystick hats, similar to joystick axes (so holding
down a hat will cause continuous events to occur.  More testing is
required for this, as I don't actually have access to hats right now.

stephena 99e7f6c5d0 The getTicks() method is updated to work similar to gettimeofday, for
systems where gettimeofday doesn't exist.  Basically, the functionality
for OSystem::getTicks() has changed to always output an increasing
value each time it's called, even between program runs (needed for
timestamps for continuous snapshots, but also for similar things in
the future).  It does this by refering to some set time in the past,
which is currently the UNIX epoch.

2010-06-16 15:40:57 +00:00
stephena 9b6ed83d7e Snapshots in continuous snapshot mode are now tagged with a timestamp,
so they don't overwrite previously created files.  This timestamp is
related to the millisecond that the snapshot was taken, so there's no
chance of overlap (snapshots can only be taken every 1 second / 1000
milliseconds at most).  The appended value is an 8-character hex
representation of this 32-bit value.

stephena 5099e2d9fc Some minor cleanups in the PNGLibrary class.
The UNIX builds for Debian and Redhat/RPM now default to using the
builtin PNG and zlib libraries.  This will ease issues at release
time, since we don't need to worry about those libraries being
present on the destination systems.

the largest label is 8 characters).

Fixed bug in Distella; a label was being printed with an incorrect
quote symbol, which would break parsing of that line.

'click-happy' in the UI, turning options on and off just to see what
happens.

commandline to use it.

Updated all release files and bumped version number for 3.1.2
release.

Improved memory usage for DPC and DPC+ schemes, so that an extra
copy of the ROM image is no longer required.  This also fixes a bug
in the getImage methods, which wouldn't have actually returned any
changes made by patching the ROM (it always returned the original,

stephena 5de12952ec Added OSystem::logMessage(), which abstracts the logging of messages to
an outputstream.  For now, the output simply goes to stdout or stderr,
just like before, but the possibility is now there to redirect to a
file if desired.

Changed 'showinfo' commandline option to accept 'levels' of output
instead of simply being a boolean.  The new default is level 1,
in which normal messages are output during a run.  Level 2 will
show more detailed info, and may be useful in debugging end-user
problems.  There's still more work to do wrt level 2.
