A tracker for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask randomizer

SpellTracker

A generic tracker for games like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask Randomizer. SpellTracker uses an interpreter-style design rather than making assumptions about what tracking a game should be like.

Building

SpellTracker requires the following dependencies:

• A modern C++ compiler supporting C++17 - confirmed working compilers are GNU GCC, Microsoft MSVC, and LLVM clang.
• The Qt framework version 5, with components: XML, Widgets, and LinguistTools.

SpellTracker uses CMake as its build tool, you will need at least version 3.5. Use it to generate a makefile for your compiler and system of choice and compile.

Running

Copy the files from the resources directory into the same directory as the binary and double click. On some platforms, it may be required to copy Qt shared libraries into the same directory if they are not found in the library root of your OS.

Contributing

Please see the issue tracker for how you can help. Contributions are welcomed so long as they are written in correct C++17 and follow Qt5 best practices.

spelltracker's Issues

Song labels are only visible when acquired

Song labels for the non-warp songs in OOT only appear when the song item is acquired.

ItemTracker: string labels are not cleared when reloading data file

When you load a game data file (for example: Ocarina of Time Randomizer), set locations for medallions and then reload the file, the location labels aren't reset.

SpellTracker needs reloading of game data file everytime it is started

SpellTracker currently starts in a blank state, requiring the user to load the XML data file on every single launch. Most users only play one randomizer at a time, so a better default would be to remember the last tracker loaded and save the user some light frustration.

ItemTracker: right clicks do not lower item levels

In most trackers, right clicking an item that is not stackable like the progressive hookshot 'unacquires' the entire item, this is a nice sane default, even if its the same as left click most of the time, its just a bit more intuitive to have right click be the opposite of left click.

ItemTracker: icons are too large and spaced too far apart

SpellTracker icons are 42x42 pixels in size, and have a 8 pixel spacing between them, for a total of 50x50 per icon. On smaller displays, especially old laptops with a 1366x768 resolution, this results in a huge window. Considering SpellTracker is made with being friendly for underpowered hardware, this seems like an oversight.

SpellTracker should offer an option to scale icons and reduce the spacing.

SpellTracker LICENSE is missing

SpellTracker is GPL but no LICENSE file to indicate this.

ItemTracker responds slowly to multiple mouse clicks

The Item Tracker responds slowly to users mouse clicks, causing a noticable delay when trying to select for example, Medallion Locations or clearly adding multiple Golden Skulltulla tokens.

SpellTracker has no README to guide new users

SpellTracker has no README to tell people interested in the project what it does, how to build it and so forth. Adding a basic README would be helpful.

ItemTracker: string not cleared when end of list is reached

SpellTracker has support for 'string lists', a collection of strings that can be toggled through on an item. A good example is setting the location of medallions and stones in the OOT tracker. This works, however, when the last item in a list is collected, the next item should be blank to clear the label.

This does happen, but is not updated in the UI, instead showing the last value.

SpellTracker window size is too large at start

SpellTracker always open up in a window that is much too wide. It can easily be resized but SpellTracker does not honor this upon restarting the tracker.
