DEBUG AND MODDING

• We made several improvements to the map editor.
  • The map editor now loads with an empty map rather than looking like you're editing the main menu.
  • Added x-y coordinates for the mouse position and selected cell.
  • Holding Ctrl while hovering over an item in the blueprints list now displays a portion of the blueprint XML.
  • Added a checkbox on the blueprint filter to only show blueprints in use on the map.
  • Made the sidebar opaque.
  • Alt-clicking on a tile now properly set the brush even when you have no brush selected.
  • Added Transform > Flip Vertical to the map editor.
  • Added File > Reload Blueprints to the map editor. This lets you reload ObjectBlueprints.xml without quitting and reopening the editor.
  • You can now select regions in the map editor by holding shift and dragging the select box over tiles. Ctrl-a selects the entire map.
  • Redesigned the "selected cells" region of the map editor. You can now delete, bulk replace, and set ownership on objects in the selected region.
  • The map editor now supports Ctrl-C to copy a selected region, which turns your brush into a rectangle the size of that region. Ctrl-click pastes the copied region, and right-click deletes the region bounded by the selected rectangle.
  • The map editor now properly renders most walls, water tiles, and fences.
  • The map editor now has tile previews in the blueprint selector.
  • You can now undo the "fill" action in the map editor.
• Die rolls can now be specified as follows: "1d6[foo]", "2d4[bar]", etc, where 'foo' and 'bar' are arbitrary names of randomizer channels. The die roll will source its pseudorandomness from the channel specified; this produces a consistent series of results for a given channel name and world seed.
• Conversation choices now support fields IfHavePart and IfNotHavePart that make the choice conditional on whether the specified part is present on the player.
• The tag or string property ForceAnimatable now overrides an object animation's current walls-and-tables-only check.
• Bodies.xml now supports a BodyType attribute on anatomy elements that allows override of the body part type to use for the central body (normally "Body").
• Added an AfterGameLoaded event.
• Added default behavior for when a modded quest doesn't specify a hagiograph.
• Enabled anonymous access to workshop content.
• The starting location selector is no longer shown if a genotype or subtype has a defined starting location.
• Added a new Modding option: 'Select enabled mods on new game'.
• Space no longer accepts the 'Would you like to die?' prompt.
• We added a markup layer to our text coloring system. Example: {{red|this text will be red}}. This lets us treat color specification as a stack, so that text's color can be reset to the previously specified color at the end of a block. (Previously, we would try to emulate this behavior by resetting color to default grey [&y], but grey wasn't always the last specified color.) The markup layer also supports shaders that apply color patterns to text blocks. Color names and shaders are defined in a new moddable file, Colors.xml.
• We changed the implementation for how MinEvents are dispatched. Modders who are handling a MinEvent in one of their IParts (e.g. bool HandleEvent( EnteringCellEvent ev ) need to update each HandleEvent declaration to include 'public override' (e.g. public override bool HandleEvent( EnteringCellEvent ev )) in order for that event to be dispatched properly to the part.
• In character generation, whether a genotype is considered a mutant is now controlled explicitly by the new attribute IsMutant="true" in the genotype entry rather than by whether its name contains the substring "True". Mods affecting genotypes may need to add this attribute.
• The ability of NPCs to repair, recharge, and identify artifacts in the trade screen is no longer controlled by the CanRepair, CanRecharge, and CanIdentify properties. Instead, it's determined by the relevant tinkering skills. (Repair enables the repair action, Tinker I enables recharge, and Gadget Inspector enables identify, with Tinker II, Tinker III, Intelligence modifier, and any relevant equipment contributing to identification performance.)
• Added support for the ZoneFactory property on a world node, which contains the name of a class deriving from IZoneFactory in the XRL.World.ZoneFactories namespace.
• Added support for the ZoneFactoryRegex property on a world node, which optionally contains a regex that describes all worlds for which this world's zone factory should handle fabrication. Used when one world node handles several worlds.
• Added WorldFactory::addAdditionalWorld, which allows the addition of new worlds at runtime.
• Implemented Myopia as an AdjustVisibilityRadiusEvent, allowing equipment and parts to adjust the visibility radius.
• Restructured the loading of ObjectBlueprints.xml, solving many inheritance problems, most notably with Load="Merge" from mods.
• Deprecated the GameManager.Instance.ViewData interface.
• UI Views are now defined with the [XRL.UI.UIView] attribute on a class.
• Increased the warning level output for the mod compiler, allowing modders to see previously hidden compiler warnings.
• Updated the Modding Utilities link to the modding wiki: https://cavesofqud.gamepedia.com/Modding:Overview.
• The Blueprint Browser now shows all properties on blueprints, in XML.
• You can now select and copy in the Blueprint Browser.
• Exposed a method to add a Wish handler. See https://cavesofqud.gamepedia.com/Modding:Wishes.
• Added a "beguile" wish that forces the target into your party.
• Med names may now be extended by applying the [MedNamesExtension] attribute and implementing the IMedNamesExtension { int Priority(); void OnInitializeMedNames( List medNames ); } interface.
• Added a wish, "clearstatshifts", to remove temporary stat shifts, even including shifts from items you have equipped or active status effects. To regain those stat shifts, you'll have to re-equip those items or re-up the effects.
• Added a new wish, "reveal settlements", that reveals all dynamically generated settlements on the world map.
• Added a new wish, "factionencounter:", that generates a special faction encounter in your current zone. For example, wishing for "factionencounter:Templar" generates a Templar faction encounter. You can override the tier and level values for the zone, both of which affect the creatures generated for the faction encounter, like so: "factionencounter::" and "factionencounter:::".
• Added a new API, StatShifter, to Parts and Effects that helps track stat shifts. See https://cavesofqud.gamepedia.com/Modding:StatShifter.
• Added a new debug option: "Show debug text for stat shifts".
• Added a new wish, "showstatshifts", that displays a list of items and effects shifting your stats.
• Added a new wish: "bits" adds 20 of each type of bit to your bit locker. "bits:100" adds 100 of each bit.
• The ConversationScript part now supports a Color field that's used to specify a color or shader to be applied to the creature's conversation text.
• Self-closing tags in the XML no longer skip the next mutation when they're loaded.
• The new blueprints loader no longer crashes when given an with no Value (it assumes 0 instead).
• Made wish string matching more accurate.
• The "Do you really want to die?" promp no longer accepts space or enter as input.
• An object can now set the ReplacementObject member of an ObjectCreatedEvent to return a replacement object instead of itself during object creation.
• Effects may now whitelist themselves for most deep copy operations by overriding allowCopyOnNoEffectDeepCopy and returning true.
• Normalized the parameter name for number of penetrations to "Penetrations" across several combat messages.
• Negative/debuff effects for purposes of Shank and Domination are now designated by an [IsNegativeEffect] attribute on the effect class or an override of the method IsDebuff() for dynamic determination.
• Fixed a bug that caused GlobalConfig.json to be unmoddable.
• Fixed a bug that caused the JoppaWorldBuilderExtension and WorldBuilderExtension attributes to be ignored.
• Fixed a bug that caused modded versions of Options.xml to fail to be initialized.
