Bit late again, but I have my reasons!
I goofed up some of the changes I made to the CoC2 build process and burned the better part of a weekend catching up and cleaning the mess I’d made up, and then I got straight back into dealing with all of the gallery strings that the new feature of this patch brings. Every entry in the image gallery now has a tooltip that will provide some hint as to where to find every character for the first time. Some of these are a little light on details right now, but I wanted to give the original writers of the characters an opportunity to fill in the blanks before getting creative with it really… also there’s nearly 700 of them in there, so even light, it took a while to fill them all in and make sure they were at least somewhat accurate.
Other than that, I’ve been cracking into building out the dungeons combat. The first couple of characters are roughed in, but all told there’s like 12 I think that need to be detailed, balanced and tested.
Back 2 da mines.
0.9.093 Changelog:
- BACKER: Another gabilani pirate loss scene, written by William and coded by Gedan.
- PUBLIC: The image pack has been enabled in the public electron builds. Still playing it by ear, if this stays on will depend how on fire the webserver is dealing with all the traffic. But this should also mean the image gallery is now available in public download builds as well.
- Added tooltip hints to every character in the image gallery index. Many of them are very light at present, but the ultimate goal is to have there be strong enough hints for how to first interact with a character to unlock them right there, in the game. Expect this to improve over time. (Gedan, Jacques00, with assistance from various writers filling in details for their characters.)
- Added a generic system to handle side-effects during the application and removal of a variety of common status effects, like Stunned, Blinded etc. This opens the door for some of the things being implemented in the next Dungeons combat design, requiring reacting to certain attacks. (Gedan)
- Added usability features to the mail system, including better navigation and keyboard handling, tooltips, etc. (Jacques00)
- Fixed a missing Paulette bust. (lowercase_donkey)
- Fixed potential issues with some gated Reaha menu buttons (Jacques00)
- Fixed a “temp nudity” issue with the Ten Tom Gym. (Jacques00)
- Fixed some potential crashes with the item spawning cheat code. (Gedan)
- Fixed a potential crash in some halloween events with malformed override parsers. (Gedan)
- Fixed a potential crash with some keyboard navigation control handling. (Gedan)
- Fixed issues with Gabilani race scores. They have gained more specific body parts, and their TF items have been updated to provide them. (Jacques00)
- Fixed some issues with Gene’s scene loops to stop them from potentially infinitely retriggering when returning to main text layout. (Jacques00)
- Fixed a broken logic test in some Naleen Male scenes. (lowercase_donkey)
- Fixed a few missing tags in the image manifest so that the image gallery interacts with certain images better when they are used as locked index images. (Gedan)
- Fixed some issues with the Goo Armors menu interactions. (Jacques00)
- Fixed some issues with combat for the Shalin Shaman. (Jacques00)
- Various typos fixed. (The Usual Suspects™)
