Celtic Minstrel

- Now has space for the additional fields that have been added. - The dialog text has been updated so that labels, names, etc reflect all (or at least most) changes that have been made to specials so far. - A lot more fields provide a Choose button than previously. A few of these are still unimplemented though. - Rect specials have their own button now, instead of being filed under Town specials. - New help button (not yet implemented) - You can now cancel when deep into a node chain. You're given a choice of discarding the entire chain or just the current node; choosing the latter is similar to clicking "Go Back", but doesn't save your changes. - Nodes are no longer saved prior to clicking OK (which saves all the nodes you were working on) or "Go Back" (which saves just the current node). So, choosing the first option when clicking Cancel could lead to a lot lost. - Incidental change: The arithmetic special nodes now use the message 1 and 2 fields in the standard way. Supporting dialog engine changes: - Picture choice dialog now has a way to get the index of the selection, rather than just the picture selected. - Picture choice dialog no longer sorts the list of pictures. If sorting is desired, the list should be sorted prior to passing it in. - Picture and string choice dialogs now support attaching a "select handler" to be called when the selected item changes, because the normal way to do this would override the all-important focus handler that the dialog uses to track the currently selected item.
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.
