From b2b8a4d75b18e876558aab3932d83b6de30de9b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Chokboyz <overmenshin@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:27:00 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] *Added a custom makefile for DevCpp which solves the
 ressources multiple-definitions problem (Game and Editor, the Character
 Editor wasn't affected). Following requests/reports : Blades of Exile :
 *Corrected the Skill and Giant Strength abilities handling so that they
 actually increase the chances of hitting instead of decreasing it (damages
 were correctly handled). *Now trying to enter a blocked space multiple times
 won't produce a lot of message but add a (xX) suffix to the "blocked:"
 message (X number of tries to enter the space)

Minor Editor changes :
*When opening a new town or assigning a new town to a town entry on outdoor map, the input field is already selected (extended the basic function for flexibility).

Code-wise :
*Readded legacy monster skill constants in CONSTS.h, to make the original code easier to understand for newcomers.
