- 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.
- Town set attitude for affecting single creature, adapted from Windows code; technically redundant, but maybe handy
- If numeric response
- Print nums (for debugging)
- SDF arithmetic - add, subtract, multiply, divide, exponentiate
- Store random to SDF (adapted from Windows code)
- Display picture (inspired by Windows code, but the implementation is completely different and totally incompatible)
- Includes new status effect images for the forcecage and for hypothetical inverses of dumbfound and magic resistance, as well as icons for the whole-party statuses.
- Defaults to order of definition in file
- tab-order attribtue can be set to a postive number to force towards the start, or a negative number to force towards the end
- All Carbon code is gone
- Many dialogs converted; some are still left unimplemented since they still need to be converted
- Menus converted to a xib file
- The giant arrays specifying the configuration of the special node dialog for each special node type have been replaced with maps and sets.
Changes to dialogs:
- pict choice dialog can now show picts of differing types; this was required for picking a monster graphic, as monsters of all sizes need to be shown in the same dialog
- string choice dialog can set the title, and properly shows the currently selected string
- LEDs now accept font format
- Fixed LED group's calculation of its rect
- Fixed LED group crashing if it has no selection
- Tabbing between text fields now works
- Fix display of larger monster graphics in dialogs
- Fix the script element content showing in the browser preview
- Spell targeting line and array draws nicely, though not the same as the original
- Fix targeting falsely complaining about being off the edge of town
- Monster info dialog works properly; attacks now display correctly
- Fix dialogs always showing the wrong terrain or monster graphic
- Spell menus, monster menus, and PC editor item menus all work
- Spellcasting dialog now chooses the correct spell
- Fix out-of-place LED in spellcasting dialog
- Alchemy dialog had black text on dark background
- Buttons didn't depress when clicked
- Edit XP button just said "Edit"
- Two menuitems in Special Edit menu had been left with default names
- Callbacks in Special Edit and Free Extras menu weren't correctly assigned
- Edit XP dialog put the XP to next level in the wrong place
- Fixed alchemy dialog LED naming
Supporting changes in the dialog engine:
- Getting or setting control text as a number now uses the long long type to allow maximal precision
- When adding a label to a button, the dialog's default text colour is used instead of the button's text colour if the dialog's background is dark
(Scenario Editor is unaffected by this commit.)
- Menubar converted to a .xib file
- Don't include the Info.plist in "Copy Files" stage
- Several more dialogs converted; as before, the source resources have had their resource name changed to the new filename
- One more converted STR# has been included
There were several functions in the PC Editor code that also existed in the BoE game code. I've moved these into the pc.editors.cpp file, so that there's only one copy of each.
- display_alchemy() functions changed signatures
- moved keyToChar() function into a common file (winutil)
- Several constants and globals moved to pc.editors.cpp
Supporting changes to dialog framework:
- New formatting option to set the frame style; this because the PC editor uses a different frame style in some contexts
- Added global default dialog background setting
--> This was necessary to correctly set the default text colour
--> Will also be needed for the scenario editor, which uses a different default background
Other changes:
- Add option to load_scenario to skip loading the strings
- Fix for crash in soundtool in the event of initialization before playing the first sound
(PC Editor and Scenario Editor are unaffected by this commit.)
Things removed:
- All references to Carbon and QuickDraw are gone.
- No more Resource Manager; the game no longer relies on old resource files at all
- The old dialog framework (from dlogtool.c, functions usually prefixed with cd_) is no longer used.
- Files that weren't being compiled
- Boost libraries that are now in the C++ library (function, shared_ptr)
- Obsolete build settings
Replacement dependencies:
- Boost Filesystem replaces references to things like FSSpec
- SFML replaces all the QuickDraw code and most window management
- Cocoa replaces AppleEvent management, menu management, and some window management
- I wrote a resource manager interface to mimick the important aspects of the behaviour of the Mac Resource Manager
- I had to rewrite some functions that QuickDraw provided natively, such as clipping regions; not all of these are tested
Things added:
- Every referenced dialog has been converted from a DITL resource into the new XML-based dialog format.
- All referenced STR# resources have been extracted into simple text files
- Now compiles against Mac OSX 10.7 SDK and libc++
- The first item in the Help menu opens the docs on Sylae's website
- It seems all the constants for soundtool vanished somewhere, so I added them back from the original Mac source
Other changes:
- Updated to XCode 4(?) project format
- Added the xcschemes created by XCode 4; I'm not sure how important these are, but they seem like they might be important
- Added document on converting dialogs to the XML format.
- Make string formatting mismatches into errors instead of warnings
- Disable error limit
- Graphics sheets that previously used masking now have alpha transparency
- Converted all graphics sheets to 8-bit PNG
- Trimmed white border from intro image
- Converted dialogs in the resource file have their resource name set to the name of the XML file of the converted version
- Referenced string resources in the resource file have their resource name set to the name of the text file of the extracted version
- Add the black-and-white patterns from the PAT resources to the pixpats.png; at least one of them is used somewhere in the game
- Recreated the menu.xib as a Cocoa xib file instead of a Carbon xib file
- Disable GNU C++ extensions; maybe this'll make it easier to compile with cl.exe later
- Add marks to the enormous handle_action function to make it easier to navigate\
- A build step to validate the XML dialogs using xmllint (doesn't quite work properly yet but does at least catch dialogs that are not well-formed)- Fix a lot of warnings about assigning string constants to non-const char pointers
- Fixed the file and application icons (which had somehow become corrupted at some point)
- Lots of additional functions in the custom location and rectangle classes, including implicit conversion to and from SFML rects and vectors; also they now store coordinates as int instead of char
- A new enum for encounter note types
- Much tweaking of the encounter note recording mechanisms
- To ease porting, I added a simple function that converts from classic Mac ticks (about 1/60 of a second) to the SFML time type
- Python script to convert STR# resources to txt files, replacing newlines with vertical bars
- Extracted the Mac font (Dungeon Bold) from the resource file and also added the Windows font (MaidenWord)
XML Dialog Framework changes:
- Remove the static initialization object in favour of manually calling cDialog::init()
- {set,get}Format() no longer used for colour; there's a dedicated {set,get}Colour() instead
- draw() methods unprotected in the control classes so that controls can be drawn in the main window
- There's no longer a friend relationship between the dialogs and the controls
- Fixed buttons duplicating the "depressed" boolean
- Buttons now properly offset the label for tiny and push buttons, and for LEDs
- Buttons no longer assume that either none or both of "width" and "height" are given in the XML
- Add {get,set}BtnType() to cButton
- cLedGroup now overrides handleClick(), which has also been made virtual; this was necessary for LEDs within a group to properly hilite while being clicked
- Add addChoice() to cLedGroup to insert additional LED choices
- Moved the key enums and cKey to a separate file
- Add a method to get a control's attached key
- Add methods to get and set a control's rect and position
- Controls can now directly take a window as a parent rather than a dialog
- Add addLabelFor() method to cDialog which adds a static text control as a label for another control
- Remove hack for storing a dialog result of arbitrary type in favour of boost::any
- Add method to get default text colour for a dialog
- Add method to get a dialog's rect
- Add method to add the same event handler to multiple controls in a dialog
- Add concept of default button to dialogs
- Add enum for text field type (currently either number or text)
- Implement the text field without use of native controls, including somewhat decent text input and a flashing insertion point
- cPict no longer stores references to every sheet; it fetches them as needed from the resource manager
- The many draw functions in cPict are no longer static, since they need to access the window containing the pict (before they could only be static due to QuickDraw's global state)
- Add setPict() without a type argument to change the graphic without changing the type, which is a common operation
- Add a scrollbar control; the specifics aren't implemented yet
- Change signature of the record callback for cStrDlog; it will no longer be passed the strings
- Publicize the no-button constructor of cChoiceDlog; it'll assume "okay" is the only button
- Add operator-> to cPictChoice for accessing the underlying dialog
- Add constructor to cPictChoice that takes a starting and ending pic num
- Remove err parameter from giveError
- Many more keys handled, plus support for catching copy, paste, cut, and select all keyboard shortcuts
- Text input fields take priority, overriding any other keyboard shortcuts in the dialog, but they never catch help (F1), escape, or enter
- Some changes to the format itself:
-> keys go in the "def-key" attribute, but modifiers go in "key-mod"
-> "clickable" is no longer a recognized attribute
-> "title" is now a recognized text size (18pt, even larger than "large" at 12pt)
-> "defbtn" attribute on the root element
