- Dying to a trap while attempting to open a container won't display the "get items in container" dialog with no alive character anymore.
- Casting the priest Light spell now updates the surrounding areas automatically (like Light and Long Light mage spells; moving or waiting isn't required anymore).
- Debug and Ghost mode are now turned off when loading a game.
- The shop scrolling bar is now properly cleaned up when loading a game while shopping.
- Items are now automatically combined when identified in a shop. To avoid any loss of information, the game now gives the identified item name in the message window (format : "Your item is identified. (full_item_name)"
- If an "active" character (i.e solo fighting) is incapacitated (AP reduced to 0 because of webs, sleep, paralysis, etc) the rest of the party (if present) is now activated the next turn.
- Entering a space containing the special node number 50 won't "force move" the party anymore.
- Added a compatibility option (mainly testing purpose) : "specials are triggered when on boat".
- The restart option of the death menu now works as intended.
- Finally renamed the "Heal All" monster priest spell from "Full Heal" to "Revive Self". That should prevent any further confusion.
- Using items now always updates the ap counter.
- For the sake of consistency : changed labels "Power Potion" to "Energy Potion" potions in the Alchemy menu.
- Redrawing the screen is now correctly handled by specials in all mode (e.g a special that changes a terrain will correctly redraw the screen, even if it was called by looking or moving).
Scenario Editor :
- Redid the custom pictures drawing implementation : custom pictures should now always appears and redraw (terrain, animated terrains, monsters, items, preset items, ...).
- It is now possible to directly give the "Drain missiles" ability to bows and crossbows (use the "Weapon Ability" menu).

- Various aesthetics fixes (no more buttons cut in half, justified some buttons, etc)
- Clicking the help icon next to the (unused) job button now correctly displays help.
- Redid the implementation of the (new) "check statistic node" (replaces "has enough mage lore") to prevent potential compatibility breaking with legacy scenarios.
- Small change to the (new) "Set town status" (replaces "Make Town Hostile") for the same reason.
- To clarify, renamed the "Dispel spirit" item ability to "Ravage spirit" (as it is, in fact, the spell called by the ability).
- For the same reason, renamed the monster spell "Heal All" to "Full Heal", as it isn't a mass spell but a powerful (and reliable) self-healing spell for monsters.
- Aligned the sleep immunity on the mac version : Slimes (regardless of the monster number), Stone and Undead types monsters are immuned to sleep.
- Dart throwing now only takes 2 ap for monsters (corrected from invisibility ability).
- Field generating monsters are now immuned to the type of field they generate (corrected from an Exile 3 incomplete transition).
- Rewrote the pending special queue for better events handling (no more potential overflow, entering/exiting town events are now sure to happens)
- Implemented the "No Terrain Animation" option.
- Un/Equipping something while in combat now correctly updates the ap display.
- MOnsters missile abilities now show their correct damage range in description (game and editor).
- Bashing weapons charges (if any) are now correctly shown (as usual, next to the name).
Codewise :
- The game shouldn't check if the item to be equipped is food anymore.
- Replaced lots of number checks by "human-readable" constants (some new).
- Removed some false checks about awaken spell supposed to work as dispel field.
- Fleeing and winning an outdoor battle now call the run_special function with the correct parameter (was reversed, with no consequences, since it's never checked)
- AI doesn't check the monster number, when deciding if the monster should cast a mage spell, anymore.

* Added a way to force kill the party with the Kill node (if ex1b is set to 2, then force kill. Editor node text updated.)
* Implemented Home, Page Up/Down and End for diagonal movement (a side effect is that the Keypad diagonal movement is now working with either Numlock on or off). That should help with keyboard missing numkeypad.

Changes for this version of the Blades of Exile 2009 Scenario Editor:
Fixed message about deleting towns when you want to create Scenario Text.txt.
I updated the Editor to include an outdoor zone report.
I added the four scenario flags to the Scenario Object Report, because they reveal whether a scenario is Mac or Windows. Reports may crash if the scenario is Mac.
I introduced the repeat print of last file, it automatically prints a new version of the last report file to be printed. It is activated by Ctrl + P and accompanied by a message in the text area.
Town report now lists all special nodes and dialog nodes. along with the relevant text messages. Irrelevant lines have been removed. The special nodes listings can be extended to scenario and outdoor reports.
Scenario and town timers have been added to reports.
Tables have been included in scenario, outdoor and town reports showing the lengths of the relevant strings. (For some reason the last 40 outdoor strings caused a crash of the Editor.)
Now all three types of report show the full details for special nodes.
Ctrl + (Number) shortcuts have been introduced for Town and Outdoor menus.
Area Rectangles now show the lower right coordinates too.
All menus now have hot keys for each item.

Changelog :
Classic Blades of Exile version 1.0 :
- Added a new item ability : Call a scenario special when using the item. The special called is specified by the ability strength.
The type of scenario to call depends of the magic_use_type (the boxes from help pc (0) to harm all (4)) : 0 is only local, 1 is town local and out global,
2 is town global and out local and 3 is only global.
If the number of charge is greater than 0, then using the item takes one charge. If not, the item can be used at will.
- Changed the "Set SDF" debug command to display the value of the specified SDF if value to set it to is -1 (BoA style).
- Added a missing compatibility switch from the introduced "Specials interrupt wait/rest" feature.
- Misc. battlefield adjustment (forest battlefield doesn't show a road anymore, road battlefields appear correctly, cave bridge now has cave trims, ...)
- Fixed a bug where an absent boat or horse could prevent a pc from entering a square while in outdoor combat.
- Trims now use the next terrain type (cave, grass, mountain) when drawn.
- Fixed a potential negative pointer to an array.
- Readded Spidweb logo intro sound.
- Event Timers will now triggers even when resting (compatibility switch available)
- Stairway can now be called in any mode except outdoor : town, looking, talking, even fighting (put in fight mode at destination).
- The three basics scenarios are no longer listed in the custom scenario list.

- Time for event timers is now taken into account correctly while resting Outdoor/ in Inn / via "Have a Rest Node". The "Change Time" node is unchanged.
- Added a preference to show a talk entry field next to "Ask About" (like in older Exiles) for direct typing.
- Fixed clipping error in the main menu screen for high resolutions.
- Added the Ctrl+N shortcut who was advertised but not working.
- Gold is now updated after training.
- If not using special messages, a "Move Party" node won't mess with talking responses anymore.
- Affect Gold/Food nodes could give more gold/food than the maximum allowed. Fixed.
- Deleted a check that was destroying items with "type Flag" 15 first.

Classic Scenario Editor version 1.0 :
- Added a switch to the Scenario Details to bypass the automatic difficulty adjust
- Added the ability to play sound asynchronously (use -sound_number instead of sound_number).
- If a custom monster pic was shown in the monster dialog and a non-custom monster was loaded via the arrows, the pic was always drawn from the custom sheet. Fixed.
- Cancelling while choosing an item ability won't reset the item ability to "No ability" anymore.
- Added a "Change Town Lightning" node. (StarEye a.k.a *i)
- Loading a town in the main menu won't get into editing mode automatically anymore.
- Added an option in the Town Advanced details to prevent the mapping (like in older Exiles).
- Added a "Display picture" node, that living up to its name, displays a picture. Bitmaps (BMP) are the only supported format but image can be of any size
(be warned that if the image is larger/wider than the screen, it will be streched to fit, meaning a (potentially substancial) loss of quality).
The name of the file is search in the scenario special strings (160 to 259) as specified in the node ex1a field. The format must be "[eventual path]filename.bmp".
The base search folder is "[folder_the_scenario_is_in]/scenario_name.exr/".
- Corrected the "Type Flag" description text (is between 0 and 255).
- Modified the "Has Enough Mage Lore?" node into a general statistic check node. (StarEye a.k.a *i)
Here is a description of fields :
ex1a: how much of skill
ex1b: special to call if enough
ex2a: skill index (-1 defaults to mage lore to preserve compatibility)
0 - 18 corresponding skill,
19 - Current Health,
20 - Max Health,
21 - Current Spell Points,
22 - Max Spell Points,
23 - Experience,
24 - Skill points,
25 - Level.
ex2b: 0, others - cumulative, 1 - highest, 2 - average, 3 - lowest, 10 + x - that PC. (-1 defaults to mage lore to preserve compatibility)

- Modified the "Give ... spells" nodes to either take (spec.1b = 0) or give (spec.1b = 1) spells and have access to low level spells (spec.1a = 100 + spell_number, with 0 <= spell_number <= 29 ) (StarEye a.k.a *i)
- Added an option in Town Advanced Details to prevent Magic Mapping from being cast (already included in the Map Unavailable option).
- Added an option in Town Advanced Details that specifies a town special to call if the town becomes hostile (for compatibility reasons the special 0 can't be called in legacy scenarios).
- Added a "Change Creature Attitude" node in Town specs : spec.ex1a is the number of the monster in the current town and ex.1b is the attitude to set it to (0 - Friendly, Docile, 1 - Hostile, Type A, 2 - Friendly, Will fight, 3 - Hostile, Type B).
- Modified the "Make town hostile" node to "Set Town Attitude". Spec.ex1a is 0 for hostile, 1 for friendly. The dead part (2) is currently non functionnal.

- The party is in info bar has been extended an placed under the main window (now that subfolders can used, the scen_name can be pretty long)
- In Edit skill, you could decrease health and spell points to negative values. Fixed.

- Renamed some things for shorter filenames
- Moved the license into the doc folder
- Cleaned up the project internal hierarchy so that it knows of the external file hierarchy (This should reduce the steps needed to fix bad references when a name is changed.)
