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.
Added a proper icon
Fix output directory for packaged builds
Added a button to open the ouput directory, and a button to open
documentation for packaged builds.
The global exit function is designed only for the interpreter, so use
the correct one.
Also fix the plandomizer so it does not immediately error when run.
It now has much less duplicated code, and a useful difficulty
abstraction.
No changes to pool results were made, and this was verified with
automated testing.
Apparently I don't know how to make subtraction commands. This has been rectified, and now the item pools should contain proper items instead of randomly selected "junk" items.
Bottle randomization refactored to be done on generation of itempool, not with the ItemFactory function. This allows difficulty settings to use different bottle pools more easily as well as allows the pedestal, credits, and spoiler logs to report bottle contents. Expert and insane difficulties deliberately set the same bottle content to all four bottles since the bottle limit is one in those modes so this only guarantees that all racers regardless of play sequence will get the same one free bottle content.
Added back in the normal number of progressive swords and bottles (and in the case of hard armor and shields) to the higher difficulties which will make it easier on average for players to find their earlier pieces of this equipment. Non-progressive alternatives were supported and set not to disrupt the average value of equipment. Hard still ignores progressive setting for armor since it doesn't change when players get armor upgrades (find one, get blue mail) but does allow non-progressive players to get the overflow item from the second armor discovery.
-From KevinCathcart, this adds a new region to the world for the castle courtyard reachable from the exit to the uncle tunnel and from the upper ledge of Hyrule Castle but not the main gate. In effect, this changes nothing if Ganon is not at the uncle passage, and if Ganon is at the uncle passage, either Mirror + pyramid access, Master Sword, or a connecting cave to the upper ledge of Hyrule Castle will be required to access the main gate. This is necessary to fix a very rare softlock in which the player could defeat Agahnim, lose access to the Hyrule Castle main gate, and make the seed impossible.
-From KevinCathcart, adds a "balanced" algorithm that, in theory, fixes the dungeon bias of the v26/v27 algorithm while maintaining the desirable amount of randomness it provides.
