Zuma's Revenge!

Developer: PopCap Games
Publisher: PopCap Games
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X
Released in US: September 15, 2009


CodeIcon.png This game has unused code.
DevTextIcon.png This game has hidden development-related text.
SoundIcon.png This game has unused sounds.
TextIcon.png This game has unused text.
DebugIcon.png This game has debugging material.


So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Hmmm...
To do:
  • Figure out the HUGE boss-related settings.
  • Mac version has uncompiled effects in the effects directory, they are technically used by it but are they worth mentioning?
  • Look at executable strings to see if all interesting strings were found.
  • Enable and use the debug console if possible.
  • There are apparently unused music in zuma.mo3 file.
  • Look at test, jeff and ben level files, most likely curve binary tests for and/or made by said developers Jeff Weinstein and Ben Lyon.
  • 0042FFE4 of v1.0.4.9495 is a flag referencing a debug powerup frequency file, setting it to 1 displays text.
  • If possible, make the alternative crash reporter code work and remove the related text dump.

Zuma's Revenge! is the sequel to the previous ball shooter puzzle game from PopCap, with enhanced visuals and high definition graphics!

Development Leftovers

DevTextIcon.png
LevelArchive folder
A LOT of development leftovers, including MANY levels, even from the first game!

Text Documents

The Spanish Mac OS X distribution has two rich text documents titled level.rtf and levels_hard.rtf in the levels directory. They have pretty much the exact same data as the English release, only changing \ to /. They were both written and modified around 3 PM on July 22nd, 2009 by mcoffey, most likely Mark Coffey.

CFGASM file

compat.cfgasm is present in the Korean version, it has a plaintext numeric list of content from the compatibility configuration file that has no use from the game, maybe a debug engine build can make use of it.

Unused levels

Hmmm...
To do:
Get screenshots of these levels in the game, check if these values are correct.

A portion of unused levels are present in the final game. As of this game, the format for the levels was upgraded, granting the ability to add general level parameters.

Jungle9/Jungle9-all

ZumasRevenge Jungle9-all.png

Pretty much a copy of Creeper Copse with both curves in one file, exact same layout. The game cannot render two death areas from one curve file, making the second curve's skull texture not be drawn, and also be replaced with a tunnel. most likely the developers scrapped it for use of a separate level file to make it not use identical parameters of only one curve. The _hard variant is similar except most parameters are changed to make the level harder, including rarity of powerups.

Unused Challenge Mode Difficulty

Normally, each game of Challenge mode lasts only 3 minutes (18000 in game's internal timer value) and get gradually more difficult as they go along. However, in one of the game's XML files (main.pak/levels/levels.xml), difficulty settings for lengths through 5:20 (32000 in game's internal timer value) exist:

Single curve levels:
<Difficulty time="18000" colors="6" speed=".85" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="37" powerup="560" rollback="50" dangerratio="2.5" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="6" rollbackduration="0"/>

<Difficulty time="26000" colors="6" speed=".99" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="35" powerup="570" rollback="50" dangerratio="2.3" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="7" rollbackduration="0"/>
<Difficulty time="28000" colors="6" speed="1.03" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="35" powerup="580" rollback="50" dangerratio="2.1" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="7" rollbackduration="0"/>
<Difficulty time="30000" colors="6" speed="1.07" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="34" powerup="590" rollback="50" dangerratio="1.9" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="7" rollbackduration="0"/>

Double curve levels:
<Difficulty time="18000" colors="6" speed="0.625" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="36" powerup="500" rollback="50" dangerratio="2.1" maxclumps="3" maxsingles="5" rollbackduration="0"/>
<Difficulty time="20000" colors="6" speed="0.625" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="35" powerup="480" rollback="50" dangerratio="1.9" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="5" rollbackduration="0"/>
<Difficulty time="22000" colors="6" speed="0.65" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="34" powerup="460" rollback="50" dangerratio="1.9" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="5" rollbackduration="0"/>
<Difficulty time="24000" colors="6" speed="0.65" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="34" powerup="450" rollback="50" dangerratio="1.85" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="5" rollbackduration="0"/>
<Difficulty time="26000" colors="6" speed="0.675" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="34" powerup="460" rollback="50" dangerratio="1.8" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="5" rollbackduration="0"/>
<Difficulty time="28000" colors="6" speed="0.675" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="34" powerup="470" rollback="50" dangerratio="1.75" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="5" rollbackduration="0"/>

<Difficulty time="32000" colors="6" speed="0.725" startdist="50" zumascore="1550" ballrepeat="34" powerup="490" rollback="50" dangerratio="1.65" maxclumps="2" maxsingles="5" rollbackduration="0"/>

It's possible to extend the time limit of Challenge mode by editing the "GauntletSessionLength" property in the same XML file. After 3 minutes, the balls move even faster and the colors become more scattered, so the player will likely perish very soon.

Additionally, if you change the "time" parameter to a "points" parameter, the difficulty goes up based on the player's score. This is described in a developer's comment in levels.xml:

<!-- if you use "points" instead of "time" then when the users crosses that point threshhold the difficulty increases, otherwise it goes up over time -->

Debug Displays

Hmmm...
To do:
What does DDS for the game mean? It's obviously not meaning the term for textures of DirectX. 0042D139 in memory of final is interesting but crashes the game when set to 1 after either loading a level afterwards, clicking Menu or pausing the game. NOP'ing the related JNE enables the boss DDS window when pausing in all modes but is there a way to properly enable it? There's a boss DDS window too.

Curve Drawing

Unwelcoming Mat.

Most levels have a property "drawcurve" in levels.xml. Changing them to true will draw the ball path as a red line in gameplay. On Mac OS X, this only works with the final worldwide version of the game. In certain levels like Shipwrecked!, this doesn't render properly without modification as the chutes below overlap the red line drawn.

Tunnel Drawing

Most levels have a property "drawtunnel" in levels.xml. Changing them to true unfortunately does nothing, as the function is stripped from the game.

DDS Window

ZumasRevengeInGameDDSWindow.png

A display of level parameters is hidden with no references to enable it. Changing the following byte at the end of the value on the memory address to 1 will enable it and draws related text in a colored blue square on the bottom left corner of the game. The text is only visible in Challenge Mode but leaving the game window unfocused or paused (most notably with space), also renders it temporarily.

Build Address
v1.0.4.9495 0042CB8F

Debug Commands

Pressing CTRL-ALT-D will play a sound to indicate debug key input is enabled, allowing the option of typing unique keys for debugging displays or mechanisms; another use will disable it. Two of the functions was slightly altered from Bejeweled Twist and F11 does not exist.

  • F1 - The ArtRes entry was removed. You can enable the UpdateCount display with setting 004A3E76 (JPN) or 004A3E76 (Final) to NOP.
  • F3 - Now includes the virtual memory FPS and changes the existing FPS string to ActFPS and being an older framework version, this doesn't include the Shift key inclusion for mouse coordinates.
ActFPS: %d
VirtFPS: %.1f
  • F8 - Now includes Texture Memory.

Unused Sound Effects

The loading screen has two unused sound effects.

logoappears1.ogg

This cool "Zuma!" title call voice wasn't used.

shipwreck1.ogg

The scene where the frog's ship is wrecked doesn't exist, but this sound effect suggests that PopCap might have planned it to.

Each boss battle has a level name, which is never displayed. The bottom three are each section of the final boss.

Oh no! Jungle Boss is on a rampage! Blast him through holes in the curve when his shield is down. But don't let the curve reach the skull!
You've awakened Village Boss from his slumber! Use the lilypads to take shots at his heads when they glow. Be sure to keep the balls out of the skull!

Level 10 and 20 in levels.xml have a parameter called "NextLevelText", as described in developer's comment:

<!-- NEW LEVEL PARAMETER:
			NextLevelText		- In addition to displaying this round's stats, this text will be displayed so that the user
									can know what to expect on the next level. 
	-->

The idea of NextLevelText appears to be dropped early in development, as they only exist in the first two worlds. In the final version of the game, it was replaced by a boss "placard", and the accompanying text is part of the graphics.

			Berserk mode: This is for bosses only. This lets you alter any of the boss' parameters when his health drops
			below a certain amount. CURRENTLY, *ALL* VALUES DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVE DDS SECTION CAN BE USED AS BERSERK VALUES.
			I will list extra values below when they are added. When the boss' health drops below a threshhold you specify,
			the values are modified by the amount you set. Like the <DDS> tag, <Berserk> tags go between a <Boss> section. 
			Here's an example tag:
			
			<Berserk value="HPDecPerHit" amount="-5" HealthLimit="75"/>
			
			The number in /amount/ is ADDED to the present value of the variable. /HealthLimit/ indicates that if the boss
			previously had a health greater than or equal to this but is now less than this (i.e. you damaged him and he dropped
			below the number) then this rule should take effect. It only happens the first time the boss crosses that threshhold,
			so it won't keep constantly apply -5 to HPDecPerHit when he's below 75 health. If you have multiple entries you want
			affected at the same HealthLimit, just specify them with another <Berserk> tag, using the same HealthLimit value.
			If you wanted HPDecPerHit to change again if say the boss dropped below 30 health, you would simply add another <Berserk>
			tag like so:
			
			<Berserk value="HPDecPerHit" amount="-5" HealthLimit="30"/>
			
			Skip to the end of this file for a testbed boss for more examples on the <Berserk> section.
						
			
			SPECIAL BERSERK MOVEMENT RELATED COMMANDS:
			------------------------------------------
			You can have the boss switch to a different movement pattern completely upon berserking. This requires a berserk tag of this form:
			
			<Berserk value="movement" HealthLimit="<num>" .../>
			
			NOTE THAT YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY "movement" FOR YOUR VALUE TAG!!!! And you don't specify /amount/ or /override/.
			Set any parameters here relating to position that you normally would set up for the boss' default movement pattern.
			The following are the ONLY valid tags that can be used here: please note that their usage and combination are subject to
			the same rules as described elsewhere in this doc.
			
			startx, endx, starty, endy, x, y, x1 and y1 through infinity
			
			2 examples: This would switch movement to rail based:
			
			<Berserk value="movement" HealthLimit="60" startx="123" endx="456" y="123"/> 
			
			This would switch to waypoint based:
			
			<Berserk value="movement" HealthLimit="95" x1="175" y1="217" x2="647" y2="217"/>
			
			This will COMPLETELY wipe out the values for these previous variables (all others aren't touched, like strafe, move speed, etc etc).
			
			++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-->
<!--
	==================================================================================================================
	
	The following is a list of all valid parameters for bosses only:
	
	Common to all:
	--------------
	
		HPDec				- How much health the boss loses per shot fire. Must be multiple of 5 (each 5 indicates a 1/4 heart)
		HPDecProxBomb		- Like above but for how much health damage a proximity bomb does. IF NOT DEFINED AT ALL, DEFAULTS TO /HPDec/!
			
		ImpatientTimer		- If specified, when this time runs out the boss becomes impatient and every 10 seconds, the curve moves 10% faster,
								the boss starts firing faster and more often.
		NormalPassUnder		- If true, normal bullets don't affect the boss and he can only be hit by cannon balls.
		BombDelay			- In frames, this will make it so the proximity bomb can spawn multiple times but limited by this delay instead of the present cap
								of 1 per curve.
		X/YShake			- Makes the boss shake when hit by the specified amount. Use 0 for none.	
		CanCompact			- If "true", the boss will compact the curve when he's hit
		HeartXOff/HeartYOff	- Lets you position the location of the boss heart gauge, relative to the boss' location.
		TikiStunTime		- how long the tiki stops moving for if hit. If this is 0, the tiki will behave like the others do in regards to getting hit. 
								Only valid for moving tikis.
		tiki<num>track		- if true, this tiki follows the player, otherwise it behaves like the others do
		tiki<num>accel		- If tracking the player, this is how fast it accelerates after overshooting
		
		You can put a tiki on a rail, either vert or horiz. Just do /tiki<num>w/ or /tiki<num>h/ to set the
		rail width or height, respectively. To set the traveltime between the rail points, use /tiki<num>time/.
		
		You can setup the location and size of a wall by inserting any of the following tags still on the <BOSS> line, where the #
		symbol is an integer ID number of the wall:
		
			wall#x, wall#y	- location of the wall
			wall#w, wall#h	- width/height of the wall
			
		If you have an even number of tikis to walls, then the tikis will make the wall of the same ID disappear when hit. If you have only 1 wall but
		more than 1 tiki, you must hit all tikis to make the wall disappear.
	
		
	Specific to boss type 3 (present "Ace" style boss permutations):
	----------------------------------------------------------------
		
					USE ONLY 1 OF THE FOLLOWING MOVEMENT METHODS
					 
					MOVEMENT METHOD1
		StartX/EndX			- The boss moves horizontally between these points. He'll randomly start somewhere in between
		y					- He doesn't change Y coordinate, so just set 1 value for this
		
					MOVEMENT METHOD2
		x1/y1, x2/y2, etc	- Specify any number of paired coordinates and the boss will instantly warp between them, rather than
								picking a spot on a rail between endpoints. Hovering parameters and all other parameters are respected.										
		
		BombFreqMin/Max		- Lets you force a prox bomb to spawn every this number of balls
		BombDuration		- Lets you override how long the prox bomb powerup stays on screen for (default is 20 seconds)
		minhover/maxhover	- Min/max time to hover in place
		movespeed			- How fast he moves after hovering to the next spot
		minfire/maxfire		- Min/Max firing delay when he's hovering
	
							ONLY USE 1 OF THE FOLLOWING 3 OPTIONS:	
		stun				- how long the frog is stunned for
		poison				- how long frog is poisoned and has mouse controls inverted for
		hallucinate			- how long ball colors are messed up for 
	
			SHIELD RELATED
		UseShield			- If true, the boss gets a shield around him that is made of 4 quadrants that must be destroyed by a prox bomb.
								If false, none of the rest of the parameters matter.
		ShieldRotSpeed		- How fast (degrees per update frame) the shield SMOOTHLY rotates
		ShieldPauseTime		- Use ONLY this or ShieldRotSpeed: if set, the shield will sit still until this time elapse, then it rotates 90 degrees.
		ShieldRespawnTime	- How quickly the shield segments respawn.
		ShieldHP			- Use with the next parameter: lets you set how much HP a shield segment has. 
		BallShieldDamage	- If the above is set, then this is how much HP a normal bullet does to a shield segment. When the segment drops to 0 HP,
								it disappears for /ShieldRespawnTime/. So if you set this to 1 and /ShieldHP/ to 3, you'd need to make 3 hits
								to open the shield segment. Hitting a shield segment with a prox bomb always instantly opens it up.
		EnrageShieldRestore	- If true, the entire shield regens instantly when the boss goes berserk
			
		DrawRadius			- If true, will draw a radius that indicates a region in which, if a prox bomb goes off in, will damage the boss.
		minbullet/maxbullet	- Min/max speed of the projectiles he fires
		noflip				- Disables the ability to flip back and forth on the rail.
		subtype				- Set to 1 for how boss1 works: just fires a bullet right at the player. Set to 2 to allow the
								boss to fire multiple bullets at the player. ONLY IF SUBTYPE IS 2 WILL THE NEXT PARAMETER, 
								/maxbullets/ APPLY! Otherwise it'll be ignored.
		shottype			- If you're using subtype 2, aka multishot, this lets you set a specific type of shot to do for the boss' regular attacks.
								Specify "any" or leave blank to allow any (randomly chosen) shot type. Specify "target" to have the bullet target the player,
								specify "sine" for one of the sinusoidal variants (works for both the sine types we made), and finally the new one, specify
								"straight" to make the boss fire a perpendicular shot that isn't targeted.							
								NEW ADDITION: specify "homing" to make the projectile's X velocity track the player. Used in conjunction with /homingspeed/
		homingspeed			- A floating point value only used with homing shot type. This is how fast the missile corrects its speed.			
		shotdelay			- In MS, this is only used if firing multiple shots. This lets you make shots delayed by an amount so as to stagger them.		
		retalshotdelay		- Like the above but for retaliatory shots.
		EndHoverOnHit		- If true, when the boss is shot, he'll stop hovering and go to his next spot		
		flightspeed 		- a floating point value that overrides the speed for when the boss is hit and is fleeing immediate fleeing effect. Only valid with endhoveronhit.
		minflightdist 		- the minimum pixel distance the dude has to travel if he is fleeing in terror. Only valid with endhoveronhit.
		EnrageAmt			- Every time the boss loses this amount of health, he increments the maxbullets amount by 1
		RetalEnrageAmt		- Like above but for his retaliation shot counter				
		maxbullets			- If subtype is 2, this controls how many bullets the boss will fire when he's ready to
		retaliation			- For either subtype, when the boss is hit, this is how many shots he'll fire
		retaltype			- Retaliation shot type: set to "sine" to make the shots be sinusoidal. If you fire more than 1,
								he'll alternate firing a left/right sine pattern. If anything but "sine" he'll fire right
								at the player.
			
		THE FOLLOWING ARE ONLY USED IF /retaltype/ IS SINE:
		(Only one of these sections can be valid at a time)
			
		min/maxamp			- Sets the min/max amplitude for the sine wave function. The large the value, the taller/higher the
								sine wave goes to. Think of this as the volume of a sound wave.
		min/maxfreq			- Sets teh min/max range for the frequency of the wave shape. Think of this as how close together
								the actual humps/curves of the sine graph are. Higher values put them closer together.
		Min/MaxSineYInc		- How fast in the Y direction the bullet moves
			
		SineShotsTargetPlayer	- Only use this for vertical bosses at the moment.
		MinSineShotTime		- How long sine shots take to travel from the boss to the player, min in a range
		MaxSineShotTime		- How long sine shots take to travel from the boss to the player, max in a range
			
		CanShootBullets		- Allows the bullets to be destroyed by frog balls. haha		
			
		/FrogShield/		How long the frog shield powerup will last for
		/BossFreeze/		How long the boss freeze powerup will last for
		
		
		COLOR VAMP PARAMETERS:
		
		ColorVampire		- If true, he's a color vampire, if not, stop reading the rest of this.
		AvoidColor			- If true, the player has to AVOID hitting the boss when he's displaying the color. In that case, if you hit him with the color he's showing, he can
								regain health, if you let him. If false, you HAVE TO hit him with the displayed color. He won't regain health no matter what.
		VampHealthInc		- If avoidcolor, this is how much health he'll get back. It follows the same rules/restrictions as the /hpdec/ parameter. Ignored if not avoidcolor.
		VampColorChangeMin/Max - The min/max time for him to change colors, though he'll change after being hit regardless.
		ColorHelp			- Only valid for color vampire bosses whom you have to hit with the showing color: this is the % chance that when hit,
									the next color chosen will be the same as the 2nd ball color.

Information on boss parameters.

	<!-- DDS tiers must be added in order. /powerpct/ is the % increase to all powerups, /slowadd/ is the extra pixel distance to add to the danger/slowdown value.
		The /speedpct/ value affects the cruising speed of the balls. Set it to 200 (200%) to make the balls go twice as fast...which would be dumb.
		Set it to 50 (50%) to make them go half as fast at cruising speed.
		
		/zumapct/ is the amount to reduce the number of points needed for zuma by. Set it to 0 to leave it the same. Set it to 50 to make the
		user only need 50% of the points to achieve zuma.

	<!-- don't touch this. If you change the boss names for some odd reason though, the /boss/ tag will need to be updated. 
		So let's just not do that. -->
	<!-- PLEASE DON'T REMOVE THESE: You may update them and modify them to balance and stuff but leave at least
		something defined for gauntlet mode so I can continue to test it w/out crashing -->

<!-- "Level" for level locked, empty/undefined for none or some overidden other DRM method -->
<!-- If this is true, we'll display the upsell if the user hits the exit button on the main menu, otherwise
	we'll just quit. Note: This will never display an upsell if you hit alt-f4 or the "x" to close the app -->
<!-- Set the number of partner logos to display in the "NumLogos" field.
	For EACH logo, make a Logo#File and a Logo#HoldTime entry. The file entry should be a path relative to the game's .exe.
	DO NOT SPECIFY A FILE EXTENSION. Supported file types are: gif, jpg, jp2, png, j2k, and limited support for tga.
	The hold time is specified in hundredths of a second, so 100 is equal to 1 second.

Interestingly, the Mac version has this information in partner.xml.

Unused code

3D Object Loader

A function called Load3DObject is present in the executable, which has later been renamed to Load3DMesh in Prime, PopCap's multiplatform revision of their engine. It loads P3D files that only were used in the Bejeweled series beyond 2, despite being engine-specific code. Perhaps it was carried over from Bejeweled Twist's engine revision.

Resource Generator 2

Hmmm...
To do:
Check the Mac version.

There is code for executing a program called ResourceGen2.exe in ..\..\..\..\..\bin. It's possible it relates to resprops\resprops.txt as well as properties\resources.xml.

The rest of the final bosses have debug in their internal resource names, despite being used. In the WP7 version, this was corrected.

Internal Project Name

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Ranidae in MacOS version source filepath, it roughly translates to "True Frog", would that be another?

The internal name of the game is Zuma2, most likely Zuma 2 Deluxe.
