- Vahnatai race implemented
- Pacifist trait implemented
- New trait: Anama - classified as a disadvantage but also has some perks
- PCs with bug race now immune to web fields
- PCs with undead/demon races now do that type of damage on unarmed attacks
The new races and traits probably still need some work/balancing.
- Fix escape not ending shop mode
- Fix outdoor special spots not being drawn
- Fix special spots sometimes appearing off the edge of the sector in the scenario editor
- The job board is loosely based on Exile III's job board; the dialog is converted from the one contained as a relic of E3 in BoE
- Quest system is loosely based on a mix of Exile III jobs and Blades of Avernum quests
- Talking to a monster (even a hostile one) can now trigger an arbitrary special node
Dialog engine:
- LED's now support wrapped labels
- Augmentation - gives one PC bonus hit points
- Nirvana - gives one PC negative dumbfounding and bonus spell points
- Icy Rain - like Firestorm, but cold damage
- Flame Aura - Damages spaces adjacent to caster
- Summon Aid - Like Summoning, but only summons one
- Major Summon Aid - Like Major Summoning, but only summons one
- Flash Step - Short-range teleport
- Fix Blade Aura spell not having refer and timing information; it also had the wrong ID (82 instead of 72
- Skeletal undead are distinguished from normal undead in that they leave sfx bones when they die; normal undead leave no sfx. In all other respects, they are the same.
- Goblins are distinguished from other humanoids in their death sound. In all other respects, they are the same.
- The sleep() function for players now checks for racial immunity - eg undead, plants, etc
- Protect form humanoids now also protects from sliths, nephilim, vahnatai, and goblins, as it should (this is legacy behaviour)
- Protect from undead still also protects from skeletal undead
- The special case for the ogre death sound is removed; that might mean that ogres can now have a femal death sound? I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the exception was.
- The if species node can now check for non-standard races in the party
- When loading a legacy scenario, it attempts to detect skeletal undead and goblins by the presence of the words "Skeleton" and "Goblin" in the name, respectively
- Introduce enum for step sounds
- Remove union for treating terrain flags as either signed or unsigned
Editor:
- Add Choose button to select the "transform to" terrain.
- Implement Choose buttons as appropriate for the terrain flags, including editing the special that a terrain calls.
- Range-check the terrain flags.
- Add Custom button to choose a town as the combat arena.
- Fix/tweak/improve several of the terrain flag prompts.
- Fix placing shortcut key in field as its ASCII code instead of the letter
- Fix some of the range checks that were already in place but were incorrect or improperly static
Game:
- The wilderness terrain types now allow specifying how many d6's of food you get when hunting there.
- Crumbling terrain uses flag 2 instead of 3 to determine method (flag 2 was supposed to be strength but was never used)
- Merge two functions that did almost exactly the same thing (namely altering a terrain space and potentially updating conveyor/lights info)
- Merge switch_level into handle_lever since it was the only place it was called
- Remove global store_special_loc; the location is stored in the stuff_done array now
- Change when use/step on terrains will now update lighting if they changed to a terrain with a different light level
- Terrains that call a special no longer support mixed global/local modes - they either always call a local special or always call a global special
- Use previously unused swap_ter function (which did the exact same thing as the swap terrain special node)
Dialog Engine:
- Don't "erase" invisible icons or buttons; it's not necessary, since the entire window is filled with background before the draw() method is called, and it causes problems in case of overlapping elements.
- Increase strength of slayer weapons that weren't in the original BoE by making sure that each race applies some multiplier to the ability strength
- Messages for every occasional status effect, both negative and positive. If charm/forcecage, ignore.
- Fix weapon poison not being applied
- Forcecage supported for damaging terrain (in town only, of course) and "affect status" items
- Weapon poison supported for "affect status" items; it differs from "poison weapon" items in that it honours the magic use type and doesn't risk messing up (like the Envenom spell)
- Show error messages when encountering an unimplemented spell or special node
- Fix missing handling of NPCs appearing after town dies when loading a saved town
- The affect party status now also supports removing each status
- Removing the flight status is similar to flight wearing off normally - it can lead to party death if you're on a blocked space, and even if not you'll probably take some damage.
- Streamlined the item constructors a little with constructor delegation
- Allow scenario designer to specify exactly which towns allow character creation in them
- Clicking the "Empty" name in the edit party dialog is now equivalent to clicking the create button
- Fix dialog not properly focusing after deleting a PC
- Fix crash while resting outdoors
- Fix screen not going dark while resting
- Fix crash when starting a new game from the death dialog
- Fix several typos that completely broke combat and special encounters
- Fix bless/curse being inverted when applied to PCs
- Fix booms not showing when stepping in damaging fields in combat
- Fix crash when attempting to save a game that has never before been saved (due to clicking cancel at the initial save dialog)
- Fix some of the flickering during animations
- Support "special" damage on PCs - pierces invulnerability much like it does for monsters
- Fix monster missiles sometimes being mistargeted in combat mode
- Fix iLiving->index conversion
- Add special damage to scenario editor list
- cCreature split into seperate file-pair from cMonster/cTownperson
- fileio.cpp split into general, party, and scenario sections
- classes.h file deleted
- Shops can now sell skill upgrades without skill point costs (currently available only through special node, not through dialogue)
- Spell shops now show level and spell point cost
- Alchemy shops now show ingredients
- Make use of the constants defined for indexing the shop rects
- Support for arbitrary quantities of items in shops, rather than simply infinite for normal shops and one for magic shops (there's no hook for this yet, though, so it can't be used)
