- Single-frame boom for "weird" damage
- Animated booms for "weird" and ice damage
- Magic now uses blue swirl instead of yellow swirl; yellow swirl is currently unused
- 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
- Rename unblockable damage to "weird" and special damage to "unblockable"
- Monsters now support immunity to any damage type
- Fix using wrong damage type for bonus damage in PC-on-PC attacks
- Forbid use of unblockable (formerly special) damage by the scenario designer, except in special nodes; if hacked in, it's replaced with weird (formerly unblockable) damage.
- Fix damage amount text in animations (both single-frame booms and fully animated booms)
Changed the following things from weird (formerly unblockable) damage to unblockable (formerly special) damage:
- Starvation
- Debug 'K' command
- Damage from items forcibly ending flight
- Damage from bashing doors
- In the game, text placement is better-aligned on the main-menu buttons, in the PC stat area (both PC info and food/gold/day), in the PC items area, and in the text info bar.
- Fix leaving artifacts of previous titles in the PC stats area
- Title of PC items area is now in yellow, to match the PC stats area
- Bold text now actually looks bold (affects all programs)
- In the scenario editor, the location of the info strings above and below the toolbar are fixed
- Text in the PC editor has received numerous tweaks too numerous to list. In particular, text on the right buttons is better centred, and gold and food aren't stuck together.
- PC editor now shows race even if it's a monster race
- PC editor now recognizes the presence of the forcecage status
- PC editor now shows all traits and status effects, even if the PC has every trait or every status effect in the game.
- 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)
- Fix variable town entry and saved item rects not being saved if they referenced an invalid town
- Fix "blank" scenario timers being saved
- Fix junk data appearing in timers
- Output operators for location and rectangle types
- Set timer node_type to 2 when loading from town record
- Some item abilities didn't appear in the editor ability selection dialog
- If have (+take) nodes took by default (ie when left at -1)
- Rename button in edit terrain dialog, as the old name barely fit
- 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
This includes the following changes (mostly related to the above):
- Move loc_compare functor to location.hpp
- Add reattach() function to rebind a town or outdoor section to a different scenario object. (I don't think this is strictly necessary, as the scenario reference is only used in limited situations in the game itself, not in the editor, but it's better not to keep a reference to freed memory around when importing a town or sector from another scenario, even if the reference is never accessed.)
- Fix imported towns not being officially "loaded" until you explicitly use Load a New Town to reload them
- Fix Choose button in Load New Sector dialog
- More functions in the vector2d implementation
- You now specify your name instead of the scenario filename in the first dialog
- A file dialog pops up after the second dialog, to let you choose the filename and location
- Fixed using Warrior's Grove even if you chose not to
- Fixed not recognizing .EXS as a valid legacy-scenario extension and appending .boes, resulting in .EXS.boes
- Adjust Difficulty scenario flag set on by default
- Fix attempt at accessing invalid placed town locations
- Fix attempt at accessing invalid terrain in editor when checking whether to apply transformations
- 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
