- Preset animated graphics now start at 960 instead of 400, due to all the new preset terrains from the previous commit running into their range. - Tore out some optimization in the automap drawing, because it made it harder to figure out why it wasn't working - Both game and editor now use the larger 12x12 map graphics, and fall back to shrinking down the 28x36 terrain graphic if no map graphic is set - Upon loading an old scenario, map graphic is automatically set the same as the main graphic if it's a preset graphic; for custom graphics it's set to none - Scenario now has three zoom levels for mini-map - the original in which the entire town is visible, a slightly closer one that matches the in-game view, and a large one using the 12x12 map graphics at full size. - Fix some map patterns having the wrong bounding rect - Graphics (and sounds) now included in the project by folder reference, so that I don't need to manually every new sheet to the project
Classic Blades of Exile
This project hosts the source code to the classic RPG creator Blades of Exile after it was released by Spiderweb Software under GPLv2. It is a svn-git transfer from the Google Code Project; all issues and trunk code has been ported.
The primary purpose of this project is to provide bug fixes to Blades of Exile so that it can compile and run on modern operating systems. The secondary purpose is to generalize and extend its functionality while maintaining backwards compatibility.
If you would like to be added to this project contact Sylae or one of the other people on the owners list. This is an open project, with no strong prerequisites for getting commit access. With that in mind, please be careful of what you check into the repository. Please do not commit any binaries, junk files, or anything that doesn't compile.
The current task at hand is to merge the Windows code into the current Mac codebase, which no longer uses platform-specific APIs for most things (a few files would need to be rewritten for Windows).
I'd like to consider the Win32/ directory to be considered "frozen" from this point on. Apart from minor bugfixes, it should not be altered. The src/ directory is to be the official codebase now; as of the time of this writing, it only compiles on OSX, but reimplementing a handful of files (basically all the .mm ones) should suffice to fix that.
