Planning Hotfix Version 0.21

Edvin Linge edited this page Jan 4, 2014 · 4 revisions

This bugfix release mainly - believe it or not - fixes bugs that either were found shortly after the release of version 0.20 or have since been fixed anyway. A few minor features will still also be introduced, see the changelog below.

Bugs to be fixed

Issue Summary Status Priority
issue 1538 Attempt to index local 'hosp' (a nil value) in function 'goHome' (patch available.) Resolved Critical
issue 1541, issue 1557 Error: ''attempt to index local 'message_info' (a nil value.)'' (Patch available.) Resolved Critical
issue 1460 Handyman error: 'assert' (Patch available.) Resolved High

Note that the resolved issues still need testing to see if they are really resolved and not causing any new errors.

Changelog

Gameplay

  • Fix: Staff would sometimes not go for a break.
  • Fix: A few crashes related to Handymen.
  • Fix: An error could occur if a fax message was removed just as it was animating into view.
  • Fix: Patients could sometimes be told to go home multiple times, resulting in a crash.
  • Fix: If a queueing patient was heading for a drinks machine just as the player moved that machine the game would crash.

User Interface

  • Added: Scrolling momentum when using the middle button.
  • Added: There is now a clock in the right corner of the menu bar that shows the real world time. It can be toggled between AM/PM and 24h in the configuration file.

Hotkeys

  • Added: Hotkeys for the Jukebox (J), Save game menu (Shift + S), Load game menu (Shift + L), to restart the level (Shift + R) and finally quit the current game and take you back to the opening screen (Shift + Q).

  • Change: Restart is now Shift + F10 instead of only F10.

  • Change: Toggle adviser is now Shift + A instead of only A.

  • Change: Key combinations will only trigger if that exact combination is pressed. E.g. Ctrl + R will not trigger R too.

  • Change: Alt + F4 is now the hotkey to quit CorsixTH.

  • Fix: Added a configuration option to have the possibility to use Shift + C as hotkey to open the Drug casebook instead of C. This is to workaround a bug that when you press on the volume down key on your keyboard the Drug casebook would open.

Map Editor

  • Added: Undo/Redo functionality.
  • Added: Street lamps and the dead looking tree.

Deadlines

These deadlines show when things need to be done in order to follow the planned release date. Note that as with all plans they tend to get outdated as soon as you leave the planning phase.
