- Number of terrain types - as long as the last terrain in the list is unused, you can delete it - Number of monster types - as long as the last monster in the list is unused, you can delete it - Number of item types - as long as the last item in the list is unused, you can delete it - Number of special items - Number of strings (scenario, journal, outdoors, town) - Number of signs (outdoors, town) - Number of description rectangles (outdoors, town) - Number of town entrances (outdoors) - Number of dialog nodes (town); number of personalities per town is still limited, but since you can use personalities from any town and the number of towns is unlimited, you still have effectively unlimited personalities Other related stuff: - Fix ability to select nonexistent terrains/items/monsters from the palette - Fix inability to find unused special strings in some cases - Fix sometimes incorrectly selecting the current node as the next node in the chain, instead of a new node - When cancelling from the special node dialog, it's a bit more intelligent about whether or not to drop nodes from the end of the list - Edit string dialog now has a cancel button - Save otherwise unused talk nodes if they contain strings, to avoid loss of data that might be important - Fix scenario and journal strings loading incorrectly if some strings were blank - Fix some issues with list modes activated by menu not appearing until the mouse moves over the window - Fix incorrect instructions in list modes (it's alt-click, not command-click as the instructions indicated) - Implement "erase town entrance" button and create a visual difference between town entrances with an assigned town and those without - Fix inability to erase monsters after the first 60 in town - Fix escape key accepting changes in the shop dialog, instead of cancelling - Fix quest/shop list resetting to top after editing one
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 Win32/ directory should 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 has a few major issues on Windows which are being worked on.
CBOE relies on a few libraries, and XCode needs to be told where they are. The graphics library we're using is SFML, which is a Framework that can be found here. They need to be linked in the Project Build Phases menu. You might also need to include zlib in the same place, but being that it's a builtin lib, that might be handled automatically in future builds.
The other dependency is Boost, a C++ library, which can be found here, however the most straightforward way to install it is via homebrew or some similar package manager. Wherever you put it, XCode needs to be linked to it via the Project Build Settings, under Linking->Other Linking flags, which should look similar to this:
-lboost_filesystem -lboost_system -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.57.0/lib
With the path in the third include being wherever you put the boost lib folder. The includes need to be flagged in the Project Build Settings, under Apple LLVM Custom Compiler Flags -> Other C++ Flags, flags to which you should append something like this:
-isystem/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.57.0/include
Again, the filepath just needs to point to Boost's includes.
