* 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.
* Cleaned up some more of the Lua inteface. Mostly replacing methods
with properties, some consistency fixes, a few renames, some more
exposed functionality, and a couple of properties that have no
business being set from scripts made read-only.
* Moved a lot more Lua documentation out of source comments into the
documentation, and expanded on it in the process.
* Got more UI code out of the input manager.
* Changed input sequence poller to a polymorphic class where you
specify your intention upfront.
* Changed the cheat plugin to use UI Clear to clear hotkey assignments
and leave them unchanged if the user starts assignment but doesn't
press any switches.
* Ported AJR's fix for over-eager double-click recognition from SDL to
Windows OSD.
-goldnpkr.cpp: Cleaned up inputs, using standard keyout and payout types
and key assignments.
* Modernised and cleaned up Lua bindings for input classes.
* Exposed the input_sequence_poller class to Lua and updated the
autofire and cheat plugins to use it, rather than continuing to
pretend it's part of the input manager.
* Exposed more of the natural keyboard manager, including the ability
to enable/disable individual keyboard and keypad devices like you
can from the keyboard mode menu.
* Exposed a few more things on ioport_port and input_device.
-plugins/cheat: Fixed menu item not updating visually when disabling a
cheat with UI Left.
-plugins/cheatfind: Fixed not finding the first screen after screen
enumerator was exposed as an object rather than using a table.
-bwidow.cpp, pacman.cpp: Minor cleanup to recent changes.
* 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"
