- Nuke global preference variables (they're now fetched with get_xxx_pref whenever needed)
- Nuke magic SDFs that store preferences and other info
- The only preferences now stored in the saved game are those related to difficulty
- play_sound no longer takes an option repeat parameter, but instead takes a delay which will be used if sounds are disabled
- SDF array increased to 350x50
- When saving a legacy scenario, a dialog is shown to remind you to update and to allow you to clear the legacy flag
This includes an added optimization to the resource manager - it now uses unordered (hash) maps instead of ordered (tree) maps to keep track of loaded resources and paths, for the average constant lookup time.
- All buttons from the array that were strictly related to UI have been removed.
- Some new buttons have been added. The duplicate Leave button has been removed.
- Focus event split into focus and defocus
- Scroll event added but not yet properly implemented
Also:
- Remove the useless (and ignored) clickable attributes from the schema
- Pave the way for controls other than fields to be able to recieve keyboard focus
- It's now exposed in the schema with a new attribute, outline, on all elements that accept framed
- It now has four possible values: solid, outset, inset, double. Dashed or dotted may be added later; they're a lot harder.
- Second make scenario dialog uses a custom frame style
In addition, the default button is finally properly outlined when specified with the defbtn attribute.
(It would also be outlined if specified with def-key='enter'.)
The following preset buttons (available to special nodes) now respond to the enter key:
- "Leave", "Done", "OK"
- Modifiers are now given in the def-key attribute, as originally intended
- Dialogs that have a help button now assign F1 to that button (replacing shift+/ in some cases)
- F1 also brings up help in the main game (in addition to shift+/)
- Some text in this update contributed by ADoS
Also:
- Make scroll panes scroll 5 pixels per click instead of 1
- Make scroll pane page size depend on the height
Also:
- Use a scroll pane for the credits in the about dialog, so that new credits can be added without altering other elements
- Use a scroll pane for the list of sections to be deleted in the resize outdoors dialog
- New cContainer superclass for controls that contain other controls
- Scrollbars consider their maximum as part of their state
- In its current state, it produces a valid, launchable Mac application package, though one that's not redistributable (relies on system-installed libraries)
- Partial support is already in-place for a Windows build
- Remove staticonhelp.png in favour of placing this information directly in the relevant help dialog definition
- New status icons for enlightenment, magic attract, forcecage, hyperactivity, flight, detect life, firewalk, stealth (replacing the BoA-sourced ones)
- Status icons for fear, drunkenness, charm (none of which are currently implemented as PC status effects)
- New space-filling forcecage (possibly not finalized)
- New appearance for pushable stone block
- New red slime monster graphic by ADoS
- Six new item graphics by ADoS
- New bookshelf terrain by ADoS
- Involves a hack-mod of ticpp::Text to support it (for some reason, the support was there in TinyXML but not exposed by ticpp)
- Don't save all the intro strings if most are empty
- Don't save the init special if there isn't one
- Fix not saving the "I don't know" response for dialogue personalities
Strings that now preserve spaces:
- Descriptions of items, special items, and quests
- Descriptions of special shop items that call a special node when purchased
- Scenario, town, and outdoor strings
- Sign strings
- Journal strings
- All dialogue strings (both in personalities and in talk nodes)
- First of all, the program no longer crashes after an error.
- A lot more constraints are now checked for, such as required elements; even some constraints not expressed in the schema
- Special node parsing now has actually useful error messages
- Map data parsing now has error messages for the few invalid cases
- Fix the XML utility exception classes originally used only by the dialog engine; they're now correctly caught and properly report the error
- Fix loading of special shop entries
- Fix accepting any character as the separator in dice constants
- Verify that the monster ability type is on the right ability tag, that the extra element is present only if needed for general abilities, and that the missile and range elements are present for non-touch general abilities
- Use "infinite" for quantity in special shop items, instead of 0
- Tweak ticpp to fill out file/line/col information for _all_ exceptions, not just parse errors
- Raise error (ie, set stream failbit) when failing to convert an enumerator, instead of silently returning a default value (they do still return a default value though, if you don't bother to check stream state)
- Fix status effect enumerator not being correctly saved/loaded
- Choose Picture dialog now scales these pictures down to fit in the available space, thus avoiding the ugly overlap issue.
- Choose Picture dialog now supports full sheets, scaling them down in a similar manner
- Due to the above, the Display Picture node now offers a Choose button
- The possibility of large (72x72) dialog pictures is now properly documented
- On load, the game now detects graphic sheets and sounds whose IDs are "discontinuous", as well as graphics intended to directly replace preset graphic sheets.
- Edit sheets dialog can now handle "discontinuous" graphics. (The edit sounds dialog already could.)
- Edit sheets dialog prompts user to create a new sheet if there are none already, and also if there are some but not ID 0 (in the latter case they can cancel and still edit the sheets).
- Edit sheets dialog prompts user to convert sheets if the scenario is legacy, rather than doing it silently
- Edit sheets dialog now has "new" and "delete" buttons
- Edit sounds dialog now has functioning "delete" button
- You can copy/paste images into the sheet, or import/export to/from png files
Also:
- Picture controls in the dialog engine have a new "scaled" flag; if set, the picture will be scaled into the provided bounds rather than overflowing. Currently, only full sheets honour the setting.
- Show monster name in description of summoning item abilities (in-game and in the scenario editor)
- Don't call drop special nodes when storing an item in a container
- Don't use exceptions to determine whether a slot in the get window has an item in it
- Fix placed items defaulting to 0 charges instead of -1 (fortunately, this didn't actually cause a bug)
- Fix ability description in item dialog not updating after you edit the abilities
- Fix off-by-one issues in several cases of the pick monster dialog
- Show charges field in placed item dialog if the item is given the Shoot Flames enchantment
- Fix enchantment field not being filled with the current value when opening the edit placed item dialog
- Fix placed item dialog not updating after you set a new enchantment by editing the field (rather than using the Choose button)
- (Dialog engine) Fix initial focus handler call passing wrong control ID
- Fix documentation of how to format map graphics, to match the logic in the code
- Fix display of map graphics both on the automap and in dialogs
- Add Choose button to select the map graphic
- Fix the vanishing text bug again (this time it only triggered for fields with a single character in them)
- Fix scroll wheel in terrain area going beyond section boundaries
- Fix text not being drawn in dialog text fields when first activated
- Fix terrain being painted while scrolling the map to the east (especially with the keypad)
- Fix item or monster palette remaining active while editing outdoors
- When using a large brush, hilite all affected spaces
