Changelog

Version 3.7-17q2 [commits up to 2017/06/30]

  • Fix a HUD scaling oversight that could cause sprites to either disappear or be locked in the middle of the screen.

  • Fixed a performance issue on some systems when window resizing is disabled.

  • SADX Mod Manager:

    • Added support for changelogs in modular updates.
    • Handle symbolic links correctly.

  • Added scaling for menus, which includes the custom background image, character select, options, and sound test.

  • Fixed a half-pixel offset error caused by SADX adding a half-pixel instead of subtracting a half-pixel.

  • Scale title cards as well.

  • Added options to control FMV, background, and HUD scaling independently.

  • Fixed mipmap generation issues.

  • Use templates for WriteData() to avoid dynamic array allocations.

Version 3.7-17q1 [commits up to 2017/03/31]

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the Goal Ring mod from loading its PVM.

  • Added a code for longer title card display.

  • SADX Mod Manager: Added a manifest file to enable DPI awareness.

  • Fixed INI data processing for triallevellist, soundtestlist, musiclist, soundlist and stringarray types.

  • Use ANSI functions when handling the main SADX window. This fixes the window title. FIXME: Need to make sure we do this for accelerators if loading from the resource file? commit e1bcb951

  • Added a mod.ini option to use a custom window title.

  • Added a code to enable the unused "Tornado 2" health bar in Sky Chase Act 2.

  • Upgraded the compiler to MSVC 2017. (was previously MSVC 2015)

  • Various updates to SADX Mod Manager, including fixes for the automatic updater.

  • Make sure texpack folders have index.txt before registering them.

  • SADX Mod Manager: Added a "Window Resize" checkbox.

  • Enabling windowed mode should not make the window Always On Top.

  • Allow switching from initial fullscreen mode to windowed mode.

  • New HUD scaling infrastructure that rescales UI elements to match their expected size when using resolutions larger than 640x480. (Currently disabled for Chao Garden due to issues.)

Version 3.7-16q4 [commits up to 2016/12/31]

  • Upgraded the compiler to MSVC 2015. (was previously MSVC 2013)

  • Fixed another NPC text INI bug caused by incorrect variable usage.

  • SADX Mod Manager:

    • Improve performance of mod.ini searching by stopping immediately once mod.ini is found.
    • Added automatic update notifications.

  • Texture replacement improvements, including a reference count fix.

  • Added more function definitions to SADXFunctions.h.

  • Prevent the "Super Sonic Flag" code from taking effect on the Character Select screen.

Version 3.7-16q3 [commits up to 2016/09/30]

  • Added proper types to several SADX function declarations.

  • Initial C++ classes for encapsulating game objects. See GameObject.cpp and GoalRing.cpp in libmodutils.

  • Disable the first-person camera when camera controls are disabled.

  • Fixed an off-by-one error in recap and NPC text INI replacements.

  • Added handling for trampolines on trampolines.

Version 3.7-16q2 [commits up to 2016/06/30]

  • Added support for folder-based sound effect packs.

  • Improve sprite alignment in the HUD scaling code.

Version 3.7-16q1 [commits up to 2016/03/31]

  • Added new code types: writenop, writenopreg

  • Added a code for "Disable Debug Spam".

  • Increased the maximum mod count from 998 to 999!

  • Added support for writing to INI files.

  • Added a mipmap blacklist to prevent UI textures from being mipmapped, since that results in blurriness in menus and other UI elements.

  • Upgraded SADX Mod Manager to .NET 4.0. Replaced MDX with SharpDX.

  • Added a V-sync toggle.

  • Added a code for Infinite Tails flight.

  • Added documentation for codev4 and codev5. (@DankRank)

  • Implemented scaling for HUD objects when using resolutions higher than 640x480.

  • Added lots of new enum, function, struct, and variable definitions to their respective SADX header files.

  • Moved several classes out of SADX Mod Loader and into a new git submodule, mod-loader-common.

Version 3.7 [released 2016/01/17]

  • Added support for per-mod code lists.

  • Added patches to the code system.

Version 3.6 [released 2016/01/02]

  • Imported the SADX Mod Manager frontend into the SADX Mod Loader repository.

  • Added a fix to maintain aspect ratio when playing videos.

  • Fixed vertical offsets for Pause sub-menus.

  • Fixed video scaling with videos of sizes other than 640x480.

Version 3.5 [released 2015/12/14]

  • Added a toggle for automatic mipmap generation. (default is on) Auto Mipmap generation now respects textures that already have mipmaps built-in, so it won't re-generate them.

  • Added mipmap generation for palettized textures. (default is off)

  • Allow exclusive fullscreen on secondary displays if multiple monitors are connected.

  • Added a toggle for texture filtering.

  • Added an option to set a custom window size.

Version 3.4 [released 2015/09/14]

  • Split the dllmain.cpp file into multiple files in order to make it easier to maintain.

  • Fix the FOV when using widescreen resolutions. When using a widescreen resolution, the non-4:3 area will now extend past what you were able to see before, instead of simply cropping the top and bottom of the 4:3 image to fit the screen.

  • Added more PVR texture replacement functionality, including support for stray textures and subdirectories. Implemented a GBIX cache as well.

  • Fixed compilation with MSVC 2015.

Version 3.3 [released 2015/07/12]

  • Added support for DLL data replacement INIs.

  • Added a texture cache using PVR Global Indexes. (GBIX)

  • Switched from D3D9 to D3D8 for better compatibility with the base SADX code, which was written for D3D8.

  • Added internal support for extra Dreamcast buttons:

    • C, D, second D-pad

  • Added support for texture packs.

  • Added switching between fullscreen and windowed modes at runtime. This includes the ability to run at any resolution in windowed and windowed fullscreen modes, as well as multi-monitor support.

  • Upgraded the compiler to MSVC 2013. (was previously MSVC 2010)

  • More support for reading data from INI files, including startpos, texlist, leveltexlist, and triallevellist.

  • Removed the CMake build system, since the project will only ever be built using MSVC.

Version 3.2 [released 2015/02/24]

  • Added new cheat code types for type conversion.

  • Added support for loading data from INI files. This initially only supports deathzones.

  • New module function API with separated data types.

Version 3.1 [released 2015/02/08]

  • Rewrote the build system using CMake instead of relying on Visual Studio projects.

  • Refactored much of the source code into separate classes in order to reduce the size of dllmain.cpp.

  • Initial support for Unicode filenames.

  • Split headers into multiple files to make things easier to manage. SADXModLoader.h includes all of the individual files, so it's effectively the same as before.

  • Lots of optimizations and fixes.

  • Initial documentation for the binary code file format.

Notes

Release notes for v3.2 and v3.4 through v3.7 are estimated, since these versions were not been tagged. The tags used (v3.x-estimated) indicate when the version number was incremented in version.h.

v3.7 was released on 2016/01/17. There hasn't been a version bump since, so changes since v3.7 are listed at the end of each quarter.

Changes are listed in ascending order, chronologically.
