  344. - (Helps determining whether it was an arrow trap vs another damage source)
  345.  
  346. EDITOR CHANGES:
  347. General
  348. - Add all new and existing monster types to be placable in editor
  349. - Grave key functions as backspace in typing fields
  350. - Item icons now change to in-game sprite if not random
  351. - Add "Undo" support for sprites
  352. - Remap map height cycle to SHIFT + SCROLLWHEEL or CTRL + U or P from just SCROLLWHEEL
  353. - New "Point" tool (2nd position), now is the only editor tool that can select sprites. All other tools will ignore left/right clicking on a sprite and draw underneath.
  354. - Add bulk sprite moving with "Select" tool. With an area selected, press ALT + ARROWKEYS to move selection and all entities underneath.
  355. - If the selection is moved, any new entities inside the selection tool will NOT be selected, and will need to be manually added by re-dragging the select tool over the area.
  356. - CTRL + ARROWKEYS will move the selection rectangle
  357. - SHIFT + ARROWKEYS will resize the selection rectangle
  358. - Pressing 'C' when hovering over a tile with multiple sprites will cause them to cycle heights. Assists with trying to grab a sprite from the bottom of a pile but having to rearrange all the top pieces first.
  359. - Add several new sprites/functionality to editor for existing in-game objects
  360. - Single boulder trap, direction specific. Configurable re-trigger amount/trigger frequency
  361. - Armed bear trap
  362. - Inverted gates
  363. - Timed lever. (Configurable duration)
  364.  
  365. Customisable Sprite Properties:
  366. - Add "properties" menu for certain sprites, F2 to access
  367. - Add properties for chests, can choose which pool of items to spawn or leave as random. Can also choose orientation
  368. - Add properties for items, can pick item type/status/qty etc or leave as default random
  369. - Add full monster equipment and stat editing
  370. - Add support for "NPC" human monsters, accessible from the monster properties window to set the "type" of NPC.
  371. - They will patrol a boxed starting area like shopkeepers, and will cycle through dialog when interacted with.
  372.  
  373. Hover Text:
  374. - Add hover text for placed sprites in the map view to show select information at a glance
  375. - Add hover text for sprite and tile selection window to show the descriptive name of the object
  376. - Add menu dropdown button to toggle the map view hover text. CTRL + H also toggles this behaviour
  377.  
  378. Extended Map Properties:
  379. - Add several new options for map properties window (CTRL + M)
  380. - Map-wide options: (Only if applied to the base map, e.g mines.lmp not mines01.lmp)
  381. - Map skybox, input a line number from tiles.txt to be the base ""sky"" effect for the map, similar to that found in ""hell"" levels.
  382. - Map ceiling, input a line number from tiles.txt to be the ceiling tile instead of the default grey stone.
  383. - Maximum/minimum number of total entities/monsters/items/decorations to generate in a level. ""Entity Qty"" is the total pool of object in a level, and monster/items/decorations fill this pool. Priority is monsters, then items, then decorations if there are not enough entities available in the pool for all.
  384. - Disable levitation/digging/teleportation, stop players using these mechanics in the level.
  385. - Alternate map generation, if selected will generated rooms from left-to-right in the base map, rather than placing rooms in a random location.
  386. - Room-specific options: (Can be applied once to the base map mines.lmp or individually for each room)
  387. - Disable monsters/traps/loot, stops the random generator spawning these kinds of entities in your room.
  388.  
  389. Tile Palettes:
  390. - Add "tile palette" to editor, allow persistent user saved 3x3 tile selection between editor sessions to quickly organise map tiles.
  391. - CTRL + SCROLLWHEEL or NUMPAD +- to cycle between 9 different "banks" of tiles.
  392. - NUMPAD * to "lock" the bank and prevent overwriting of palette when selecting new tiles.
  393. - LEFTCLICK/SCROLLWHEEL or NUMPAD 1 to 9 to select tiles from this palette. If selecting a tile on the map view or tile select, then will be added to the bank if not locked.
  394. - RIGHTCLICK to remove a tile from the palette.
  395.  
  396. Submap Generation:
  397. - Add new "submap" generation, allowing random generation per room for your map!
  398. - Using special tile 201 "Submap.png" defines a square area to be randomly replaced from a pool of sub-levels.
  399. - E.g mines01.lmp contains a 3x3 of ""submap"" tiles. The generator looks for sublevels mines01a.lmp, mines01b.lmp and mines01c.lmp and will select one of those 3x3 submaps to generate in the mines01.lmp map. Generation will look at 1-26 possible maps if they exist with the suffix 'a' to 'z' after the map name.
  400.  
  401. BUG FIXES:
  402. - Fixed issue where the Editor's map name textbox would not stop text from being input after the map was loaded. Stops saving maps as "mineswdasdw" even though the save window was closed.
  403. - Fixed issue where all thrown items would not display correctly for multiplayer clients
  404. - Fixed issue where "quickstart" games would always start with the same seed
  405. - Fixed issue where quickly "hotswapping" a crossbow caused the player to rapid fire bolts
  406. - Fixed issue with rounding error in CONFUSE spell, causing a 2 second less than intended duration.
  407. - Fixed issue where "Filthy Rich" acheivement could not be granted to clients
  408. - Fixed issue where FPS would be displayed as 57-59 but never 60
  409. - Fixed issue where invisibility and levitation channel durations were shorter than they should be after the first duration expired
  410. - Fixed issue where items on ground would unnecessarily calculate movement
  411. - Fixed feature where clients would render unloaded armor as green orbs
  412. - Fix issue where any animated tile is swimmable if placed in the floor. Now only tiles with "water", "lava" and "swimtile" in filename will be considered for swimming
  413. - Fixed issue where entities could be generated on lava/water tiles
  414. - Fixed issue where vomiting while dying crashes the game
  415. - Fixed issue where random player names would continually start with the same random seed
  416. - Fixed issue where resizing the editor with a tile/sprite selection window would crash
  417. - Fixed issue where map generation would skip the far bottom and right rows of tiles
  418. - Fixed issue where opening a door while dying crashes the game
  419. - Fixed typo in a book
  420. - Fixed issue when spawning in "hell" levels would fail to generate an exit (maybe this time will work?)
  421. - Fixed issue where too many combat log messages would corrupt the interface. Typically occurred after extended playthroughs or lots of text chat.
  422. - Fix issue where trolls would repeatedly play their footstep audio clip when waking up from sleep status.
  423. - Fix issue where picking up/dropping equipment matching your currently equipped piece would cause your currently equipped piece to stack, or be unequipped. Thrown items are exempt from this behavior.
  424. - Fixed missing blood particles when a spell inflicted damage for clients
  425.  
  426. DEBUG:
  427. - Add /levelskill x command, where x is proficiency number to be levelled up by 10.
  428. - Add /minotaurnow command, force minotaur to spawn in level
  429. - Add /minotaurlevel command, force current level to spawn a minotaur after default duration
  430. - Add /maplevel command, functions like Scroll of Magic Mapping
  431. - /noclip command enables raising/lowering of camera with default player turn bindings Q and E
  432. - Holding SHIFT when /noclip is enabled will halve the movement speed of the player
  433. - /noclip no longer "swims" in water
  434. - Add /nummonsters command, show number of monsters spawned in level
  435. - Add /maxout2 command, levels player to 25 and equips full steel equipment.
  436. - Quick start multiplayer lobby from main menu with CTRL + L, uses port 12345
  437. - Quick join multiplayer lobby from main menu with CTRL + M, uses port 12345
  438. - Add /drunky command to even out the effects of drinking while coding
  439. - Add /summonchest command to spawn a chest
  440. - Add /summonall <monstername> command, vomits the chosen monster onto every possible map tile on the floor.
  441.  
  442. OPTIMISATIONS/MODDING:
  443. - Unify monster attack/movement code into common animation framework to assist when creating new monsters
  444. - Unify monster special attacks into common function to assist when creating new monsters
  445. - Dedicated animation functions to create new spell effects/timers/limb animations
  446. - Extended support for up to 50 new items
  447. - Extended monster support for up to 32 new creature entries
  448. - Remove many hard-coded limits for strings such as items and status effects, easier to make additions
  449. - Items now use an editable items_global.txt file to determine minimum dungeon level to spawn on, rather than obscured in-game gold formula
  450. - Centralised monster message events to allow custom name patterns to use generic monster grammar. E.g naming a skeleton "lesser skeleton" will correctly display "you hit the lesser skeleton!" rather than "you hit lesser skeleton". Currently available prefixes include: "lesser", "young", and "enslaved"
  451. - Add /reloadlimbs to refresh the in-game limb offsets for monsters. Assists when designing new monsters and equipment
  452. - Add /loadmodels x x to refresh in-game models from models.txt without restarting Barony. /loadmodels 400 0 will refresh from 400 onwards, while /loadmodels 590 600 will only reload 590-600. Assists with voxel modelling.
  453. - Add /atkspeed x and /animspeed x to globally modify the in-game attack animation speed for debugging animation.
  454. - Add caching of Barony models during startup with command /usemodelcache, creating a models.cache file to Barony directory on first run to read on subsequent startups. Reduces startup time from 10+ seconds to <5 on some machines. If models are changed or added after the cache is generated, then the models.cache file will need to be deleted to regenerate the cache.
