Celtic Minstrel

Adapted from *i: - Show a confirm dialog when interrupting a special node sequence - New monster special ability: call global special node (as an action, not on death) - New item special ability: call global special node - Check there's a monster death special before calling it (wasn't necessary before, might be now with the special queue changes) - Queue specials that are triggered while another special is in progress, instead of ignoring them; they will be run after the current special in progress finishes. - *i's version of petrification touch is currently active only for monster-on-monster combat; need to merge with my version for monster-on-pc combat. - Pass party location to special in use special item context - Fix set town visibility node (was checking wrong field and thus could not hide towns) Special nodes: - Town Hostile: change to Set Town Attitude - Select PC node: option to select random PC - Affect special nodes can now affect monsters - Fix affect death node reviving non-existent PCs - Affect Spells: Can remove spells, and can affect level 1-3 spells - If Objects: Merged from If Barrels and If Crates - If Species: Replaces If Cave Lore - If Trait: Replaces If Woodsman - If Statistic: Replaces If Enough Mage Lore - Change Lighting: Can affect town's global lighting setting, player's light level, or both at once. - Pointers! Actually, I'd already implemented the callbacks for setting and getting them, but they're now actually used, and the implementation has been tweaked a little. - Campaign flags! Again, I'd already implemented them sorta, but I tweaked things and they ended up sort of halfway between the two implementations. Plus there's now a special node to set them. Additional bits: - Special queue now uses an std::queue instead of a basic array. - Enum for town lighting levels - Disease touch ability is now honoured for monster-on-monster combat - See monster special context now passes the monster's location as the trigger location; also, removed the double-trigger from one circumstance. - Along with the set town attitude change, there's now the possibility for making the town hostile to trigger a special node, which can cause the party to be slain. - Select PC special node: option to select specific PC - Spell IDs for use in shops and Affect Spell nodes have changed so that 0 is now the first level 1 spell, and so forth. - add_string_to_buf can now auto-split the string over multiple lines, and the special node that uses it takes advantage of this - Special node parser warns if a node type is missing a corresponding opcode - Reserved "pointers" to access the special node's trigger location (this was *i's idea, but he never implemented it)
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).
