- Previously, item spells that don't enter targeting mode would use the item user's level to determine the effect.
- Also, item spells that have multiple targets used to use the item user's level to determine the number of targets.
- Mass Sleep spell was completely unimplemented; it now works just like Mass Paralysis (except for causing sleep instead of paralysis)
- Add something similar to the Anama ravage spirit bonus, but caused by negative dumbfounding
- Change some of the melee attack sounds based on attack type
- Don't increment total monsters killed if the monster wasn't killed by the party
- 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
- Negative dumbfounding increases effective magic skills; works on monsters too (though it already did)
- Martyr's Shield no longer permanent on monsters
- Invisible status effect works on monsters (same as permanent invisibility)
- Poisoned weapon status effect works on monsters (adds poison to their first melee attack)
- Restore Mind spell no longer removes negative dumbfounding
- Invulnerability status effect works on monsters (same as permanent invulnerability, and stacks with it)
- Magic resistance status effect works on monsters (halves fire/cold damage)
- Negative magic resistance doubles magic/cold damage (both on PCs and monsters)
- 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 drop/give/use buttons not appearing in inventory
- Fix wrong item variety being shown in the item info dialog
- Enable the code path where clicking an item while in "use space" mode uses the item
- Introduce constants for the special item pages
- 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
- Fixes PC melee attacks using webs from the wrong PC
- Support for PC-on-PC attacks is in place, though these code paths are currently not entered; could be used for charmed PCs, for example
- In many cases, status effects that don't affect monsters are now supported for them (but still don't affect them... yet)
- The "special" damage from assassination is now handled differently; support for it is no longer hard-coded into damage_monst(), and the message display for it is handled externally from damage_monst(). Also, it's no longer used for any kind of magic weapons.
- Select target special node has changed its way of selecting a specific monster/PC as the target
- Fix monster-on-monster attacks applying poison on all three attacks instead of just the first
- cCreature split into seperate file-pair from cMonster/cTownperson
- fileio.cpp split into general, party, and scenario sections
- classes.h file deleted
- Bound-check occasional party statuses
- Martyr's shield no longer ignored in attacks between monsters
- Fix food/gold decreasing when a monster with a steal food/gold ability attacks a monster
- 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)
