* util/options.cpp: Added option types for single and multiple paths.
* util/options.cpp: Substitute environment variables in values from defaults and INI files.
* ui/dirmenu.cpp: Removed hard-coded list of multi-path options.
* plugins: Don't substitute environment variables in path options.
Added emulated time recording as well as wall clock time.
Fixed recording time for multiple software items per system. An
incorrect constraint on the database table meant that time was only
being recorded for a single software item per system.
Detect the "empty" driver so the time spent at the selection menu isn't
recorded (you'd get multiple entries for this due to the way options
leak when returning to the system selection menu).
Included schema migration code to update existing timer plugin
databases. Also replaced some unnecessary floating point code with
integer maths, added log messages, and made the plugin unload unload its
database access code during emulation.
Changed other plugins' use of paths with trailing slashes as this causes
stat to fail on Windows.
Made autofire and inputmacro plugins capable of remembering settings if
the host input device for the binding is missing or if an input for a
slot device that isn't present is referenced.
Changed the hiscore plugin to save inside the "hiscore" folder in the
plugin data directory. The old hiscore path setting has already been
removed from MAME for some time. This means the plugin was always
saving in the "hi" folder in the working directory with no way to change
it, which is problematic on Linux and macOS, particularly for distro
packagers. There are lots of plugin and UI changes in this release, so
we may as well get this out of the way now. Also made it possible to
change the "timed save" option from the Plugin Options menu, and save
that in the data folder, too.
Documented the input macro plugin. The only undocumented plugins now
are the cheat plugin, the cheat finder plugin, and the port name plugin.
* autofire, inputmacro: Made left/right repeat when held (makes setting
long delays/durations easier).
* autofire, inputmacro: Added headings for devices in input selection
menus (helps when controller buttons have identical names, e.g. AES)
* autofire: Made intial selection when moving between menus intuitive,
log some errors on saving/loading configuration.
* autofire: Fixed two errors in Chinese localisations.
Got rid of one of the UI audit inputs. There only needs to be one, and
the options can be presented in the confirmation menu. Two secret
keystrokes is too confusing. Also got rid of the long-obsolete UI
Toggle Debugger input.
Added audit media button to the toolbar so it's a bit less opaque, and
it can be accessed with a mouse/trackball (not just by knowing the key
mapping).
Made default I/O port names localisable.
Made autofire plugin save port fields using the { port, mask, type }
tuple, the same way MAME does. Unfortunately this will break existing
autofire configuration, but it should be more stable going forward.
Added some more UI keys to the default key mappings documentation.
* Fix console history path, homepath is a core option
* Create missing directories recursively in lua plugins.
* Add lfs to global environment in a less magical way.
require normally doesn't bind the name globally just returns the
module, mame sets a preloader that does bind lfs globally, but
maybe it's less surprising to do it explicitly
Made the sound manager mute controls readable, and got rid of system
enable since it just controls system mute anyway. This was causing
confusion: phantom2 was trying to use both independentlyt casuing the
mute bit to be ignored.
THe Lua interface changes are mostly changing methods to properties,
some renames to make things clearer, and some additional properties for
better control over snapshots.
* Revert "Used set_folder to avoid hardcoding plugin name in settings path"
This reverts commit 76884986fd8630f81cfc838aa42f264fdcec2ea9.
* Changed autofire config directory to homepath
* Bumped autofire plugin version
* Fixed bugs related to reloading roms
Soft resets would reload autofire settings without saving them first, causing the settings to be lost. This commit adds a check to only reload from the settings file if loading a different rom than before.
Hard resets would leave bad references lying around, causing MAME to crash under certain circumstances (i.e. resetting while in the edit menu and entering the menu again). This commit makes sure to properly clean up and reinitialize menu and button states when resetting.
* Used set_folder to avoid hardcoding plugin name in settings path
* Bumped autofire plugin version
* Hardcoded autofire plugin
* Changed register_frame to register_frame_done, removed pause check
* Added support for multiple buttons loaded from a file
* Implemented saving settings on quit
* Fixed multiple keybindings for same button from overwriting each other
* Replaced double-quotes with single-quotes
* Refactored saving/loading into a separate module
* Changed button format to use input_code rather than string token
Settings format is unchanged (still saved as string token).
* Rewrote table initialization in save/load
* Implemented menus
* Added helper messages for "on frames"/"off frames"
