Changes for this release:

Code: Select all

o  Fixed bug in inventory display for 1-point damage weapons 
   when using the new damage roll tables.

o  Added ability to pass a turn &#40;' ' command&#41; using QA.  This
   is useful for forcing a map refresh after modifying the map
   using another action command &#40;like QA #18-TAKE ALL&#41;.

o  Removed a small &#40;but probably unneeded&#41; delay that the engine
   forces after the player bumps into an obstacle.  &#40;O_PLAY0A.PAS,
   actionparser&#41;

o  Added extended DRAW commands to fetch instance numbers of 
   creatures from the map and get/set creature HP and source type
   values.

The new DRAW commands have a lot of interesting possibilities and allow you to get/set the HP of creatures on the map, as well as change creatures from one type to another (transmuting creatures). Because the creature information is stored in a central table for each region, it is possible to change data (but not location) about creatures that are off-screen or in a different room altogether.

As an example of this, one of the DRAW commands allows mass transmutation of all creatures in the current region from one type to another.
