Scmdraft 2 Version 0.4.0 released
 Posted: 22-02-2004 03:43:40
After many weeks of waiting, finally, the new version of Scmdraft 2 has been released to the public. Although delayed by exams and other minor matters the new features such as undo should make up for this.


[UPDATE 25.02.2004]
-Fixed bug where maps with 256 locations could corrupt data. (255 locations is the engine maximum.)
-Fixed bug in rangechecking while restoring doodads (caused crash when loading maps with doodad tiles on the lower right edge due to off by 1 error in rangecheck)
-Fixed a stupid stupid bug introduced by the undo code which resulted in map corruption after deleting units. Anyone who was affected by this bug can email me the maps and I will fix them. Alternatively check the directory the map is in for the autobackup.
[END UPDATE]


New Features:

  • Features:
  • Undo / Redo implemented (All terrain editing, doodad placement / deletion, unit placement / deletion, sprite placement / deletion, location placement / deletion / resize, fog of war placement).
  • New entry in *.ini file, UndoListLength, to set number of steps which can be undone/redone.
  • Recovery of terrain doodads from maps (certain third party editors corrupted / deleted the DD2 section preventing selection of doodads and proper deletion).
  • Proper loading of maps damaged by starforge, unfortuanently the ISOM reconstruction algorithm isn't complete and therefor has been disabled.
  • Sprite palette redesigned to use a treeview, also option to place 'unit' sprite (As used by installation doodads) or a conventional sprite (All other doodads, conventional sprites).
  • Majority of menu commands now have keyboard shortcuts, following staredit convention.
  • Edit menu added, are disabled when unneeded.
  • Added right-click menu, current behavior is to only appear when the selection commands apply, this may change on demand.
  • Changed window menu to include sprite and doodad palettes, removed unit and location properties (Accessable via edit->properties or by pressing Enter after selection).
  • Layer menu moved, now can be found in the edit menu.
  • Boundaries of location currently being resized / moved now properly shown while scrolling.
  • Reset unit / upgrade / tech settings to default values now implemented.
  • Map revealer spacing changed to reduce redundant placement.
  • Ability to remove all map revealers for a specified player.
  • Ability to set max mineral and gas amount via *.ini file.
  • Switching modes will now consistently update all displays, regardless of how the switching is done.
  • Terrain palette now properly displayed after making a new map.
  • Bugs:
  • Minor bug involving first patch of fog of war placed has been corrected
  • Previously units which where burrowed where not displayed as burrowed after loading the map.
  • Square terrain brush now properly alternates terrain.
  • Fixed bug where trailing letter of the shortcut target would get cut off (Resulted in shortcuts to scmdraft.ex instead of scmdraft.exe)
  • Bugs fixed in recent maintenance release
  • Error displaying locations in twilight tileset corrected.
  • First unit/tech/upgrade that was selected could mess up the data for first unit / tech / upgrade in the map.
  • New map now should properly set default values for units / techs / upgrades.
