- 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.
- 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
- 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
- cCreature split into seperate file-pair from cMonster/cTownperson
- fileio.cpp split into general, party, and scenario sections
- classes.h file deleted
- Remove keybindings from terrain dialog arrow buttons
- Fix arrow buttons not bound-checking fields
Dialog engine:
- Fix fields crashing after text is set while it has focus
- Trigger focus handler on untoast() to balance that in toast()
- Advanced town details now offers edit buttons to edit the specials immediately
Changes to dialog engine:
- Fix tiny buttons stretching to fill label area
- Fix LEDs stretching if label area is higher than LED button
- Fix LEDs ignoring font setting
- Add additional treasure type for "unique" items
- Main item dialog now shows the item ability's display name, and also has more space for the item's full name
- (Game) No-ammo missiles (eg slings) are now counted as weapons by shops
- (Dialog Engine) Fix LED groups being drawn when invisible
- Range augment ability for missiles
- Seeking ability for missiles (can strike an adjacent space if targeted space lacks a target, including chance of hitting invisible monsters)
- Weapon that calls node when attacking with it (works both in range and melee; the cases can be distinguished by the node with IF_CONTEXT)
- Armour that calls node when attacked while wearing (works both in range and melee; the cases can be distinguished by the node with IF_CONTEXT)
- Monster ability that calls node when monster attacked (works both in range and melee; the cases can be distinguished by the node with IF_CONTEXT)
- The above three only apply to non-magical attacks - some things don't trigger it, like spells, monster rays and breath weapons, possible a few others
- Armour that protects from all melee damage (including demon/undead, though less)
- Armour that decreases chance to be hit (both in range and melee, against non-magical attacks only)
- Armour that behaves like to the martyr's shield effect but also has a chance of adding some extra bonus damage
- Armour that's more encumbering than advertised (best for cursed items with concealed ability)
- Multiple items with the accuracy ability now stack
- Fix nephilim not getting their racial bonus to missile weapons
- In specials called as part of an attack, the reserved pointer -20 contains the target in a form ready to pass to a SELECT_TARGET node, while -21 and -22 contain the location of the target. This includes the new cases added in this commit plus the monster ability to call a special node on its turn. It does not include specials called in the spell targeting context (to do so would break legacy scenarios), nor specials called after a targeting node.
- If a PC is carrying more than their max weight, they gain encumbrance equal to one-tenth of the excess.
- Add some missing context cases to IF_CONTEXT node
- Also, missile weapons now use the key skill as well
- Fix guessing of missile types - using the item level didn't work out since the levels weren't what the original code expected, so now it just goes by the name
Changes to game:
- Permanent martyr's shield is now customizable - extra1 is per-mille chance to activate each time damage is taken, and extra2 is percent of damage taken to apply to attacker
- Absort spells is now customizable - extra1 is per-mille chance to activate each time damage is taken or a magic effect is applied, and extra2 is how much hp to gain from non-damaging magic effects
- Splits ability is now customizable - extra1 is per-mille chance of splitting each time damage is taken
- Special node ability is now called before the monster tries its normal attack, and multiple monsters can use them per round (though each can only use theirs once)
- Fix issue with breath weapons and icy touch abilities conflicting (legacy import issue)
- Add two variations of the summoning ability - summon according to summoning level (like the spells), or summon a random creature of a particular species
- Fix touch abilities using the range as chance to use
Changes to dialog engine:
- Fix tab order handling to exclude fields that are currently hidden
- Add method to retrieve the parameter passed to toast(), as a quick way to distinguish between the user clicking OK or Cancel after run() has exited
- Fix hidden fields being drawn anyway
- Fix setting stack page sometimes crashing if the current page was invalid due to earlier reducing the page count to 0
Game changes:
- Remove support for playing a sound and displaying strings when a monster is first seen, since these behaviours can easily be obtained by using the special node called in the same context.
Dialog engine changes:
- Support for changing the font size of LEDs
- When setting the page, a stack now applies a default value if the map is missing the required data
- Add utility "addPage" method to stacks
- If reducing the page count means the current page is deleted, a stack now switches to the last page
- If you do this, it adds the graphics to all relevant select graphic dialogs, at the end, allowing you to choose custom graphics without having to remember the number schemes
- Monsters now properly decide whether they can enter damaging terrains
- The possibility of being unusually vulnerable to a damage type is introduce - such monsters would take double damage from that type
- Merge most of the spell usable abilities into a single "cast spell" ability which can take any spell as an additional parameter
- Merge the affect status usable abilities into a single "affect status" ability which can take any status as an additional parameter
- Merge acidic and poisoned weapon into a single "status weapon" ability which can take any status as an additional parameter (though the handling for other statuses isn't yet implemented)
- Fix mass charm spell getting worse as you intelligence bonus increases
- Mass charm item spell is now easier to resist (an unintended side-effect)
- PC versions of Wrack and Unholy Ravaging implemented (for use as item spells)
- Rename cItemRec -> cItem and cItemRec::type -> cItem::weap_type
- Clear out a lot of commented code
- Remove the flag_x members in the scenario that used to store the scenario's password hash (or something like that)
- As a side-effect, weapons with key skills other than the conventional three (edged, bashing, pole) are now fully supported (though the scenario editor UI doesn't yet support them)
