Yet another round of testing. There will probably be a few more rounds of testing based on the number of changes we've done to the core engine.

What's New

  • Restore Defaults and Reload Theme button added to settings screen
  • Animated UI buttons (can be disabled in settings)
  • New packet ST#{subtheme}#{force_reload}#% that allows server to suggest a subtheme and reload theme automatically (if player has the subtheme set to "server")
  • ~stop.mp3 and the "stop" category are now hidden. To stop music, right click the music list and hit "Stop Music," or use the "Stop Music w/ Category" setting to bring back the ability to double-click categories to "play" them.
  • Allow server to specify custom WT/CE name in packet (SFX name and animation filename are exactly the name provided)
  • Allow server to hide the testimony indicator by using RT#testimony1#1

Subthemes

You can add a folder inside of a theme that can replace anything inside the existing theme. Subthemes are prioritized over your current theme and work like a third layer of inheritance, so the first layer is default theme, second layer is current theme and the last layer is the subtheme. You can manually force your subtheme using the settings screen, set it to "default" to stop subthemes from changing, or "server" to allow the server to suggest which subtheme to use (meaning you can have themes for day/night cycles, different interfaces between investigation/trial segments, etc.)

For example, the fallback order for courtroom_design.ini will be as follows:

  • theme/subtheme/courtroom_design.ini
  • theme/courtroom_design.ini
  • default_theme/courtroom_design.ini

Note that subthemes will never fall back to any subthemes belonging to the default theme.

Theme reparenting

You can specify a new default theme for themes, so instead of falling back to the theme called default, you can fall back to any theme of your choice. To do this, add a default_theme= value in courtroom_design.ini. Note that it is not recursive, so if the default theme you selected has a default_theme= value as well, it won't fall back a second time, nor will it fall back to default.

Breaking Changes

  • The shouts option in char.ini is deprecated; use chat instead.
