- Supports playing arbitrary sound along with the split (rather than just teleport sound or no sound)
- Correctly imported from older save files
- Support for splitting off an arbitrary subgroup of the party rather than just a single PC (though the special node doesn't yet allow this)
- Support for leaving town while split - if you leave town, the absent PC's items are not dropped on the ground when later entering a town
- Option to not change location when reuniting
- If you reunite in a different town than you started, you are returned to the town you split from
- Moved change/swap/transform terrain to the General section
- Merge change outdoor terrain into general change terrain
- Merge if town/outdoor terrain nodes
- Merge the if+take nodes with the equivalent base nodes
- Merge secret passage node into the can't enter node
- Move outdoor shop to the General section since it's not restricted to outdoors
- New story dialog node displays a sequence of strings one at a time, like the Exile 2 intro dialog
- New town nodes for animations: run missile, animate monster attack, draw simple boom with optional damage number
- If fields node expanded - now checks if the count of the desired field type existing within a specified rectangle falls within a given range
- Place items and move items nodes can now set the items as contained, provided there's a container on the destination space
- All rectangle nodes can now be restricted to just the boundary, as per the documentation
- Any picture type is now possible; the nodes split by picture type alone were merged
- Town portal now honours your chosen picture. Town stairway also allows you to choose.
- The two one-shot dialogs now use msg3 where they previously used msg2; this is to make way for later expansion
- Now has space for the additional fields that have been added.
- The dialog text has been updated so that labels, names, etc reflect all (or at least most) changes that have been made to specials so far.
- A lot more fields provide a Choose button than previously. A few of these are still unimplemented though.
- Rect specials have their own button now, instead of being filed under Town specials.
- New help button (not yet implemented)
- You can now cancel when deep into a node chain. You're given a choice of discarding the entire chain or just the current node; choosing the latter is similar to clicking "Go Back", but doesn't save your changes.
- Nodes are no longer saved prior to clicking OK (which saves all the nodes you were working on) or "Go Back" (which saves just the current node). So, choosing the first option when clicking Cancel could lead to a lot lost.
- Incidental change: The arithmetic special nodes now use the message 1 and 2 fields in the standard way.
Supporting dialog engine changes:
- Picture choice dialog now has a way to get the index of the selection, rather than just the picture selected.
- Picture choice dialog no longer sorts the list of pictures. If sorting is desired, the list should be sorted prior to passing it in.
- Picture and string choice dialogs now support attaching a "select handler" to be called when the selected item changes, because the normal way to do this would override the all-important focus handler that the dialog uses to track the currently selected item.
