eidos 0.1.8

What's new in 0.1.8

One-Screen Mode & UI

• Touch & Mouse Movement: Added an on-screen virtual stick: drag to walk, push past the outer ring to run, and tap NPCs to interact.
• PC Storage Rework: New 3-pane layout (Party, Box, Details), drag-and-drop support, and a dedicated Move Items screen.
• Level-Up & Evolution: Unified move learning, move forgetting, and evolution menus with the modern one-screen UI. Evolution sequences now fill the window.
• Battle UI:
  • Poké Balls now remain visible while shaking during capture attempts.
  • Move info can now be inspected directly from the party list.
  • Field targeting: In double and triple battles, select targets directly on the battlefield instead of from a text list.
• Restored one-screen boot and title screens, and encounter transitions now scale to fill the entire window.

Controls & Input

• Controller Glyphs: Added Xbox and PlayStation button prompts (Settings > Controls > Button icons).
• Standardized controller menu confirmation to the bottom face button (A / Cross).
• Fixed keys immediately firing their bound action while being rebound, and the D-Pad can now be bound on the keyboard (#3).

Visuals & Extras

• Type-Colored Moves: Move names in battle messages can now be tinted by type (Extras > Move colours).
• Map Transitions: Added options for Original, Fast, and Seamless transitions (Extras).
• 3D Outlines: Now disabled by default; toggle between Off and Thin in Settings > Display.

Engine & Performance

• Performance: ~25% reduction in CPU frame times in the overworld (#5).
• Added a warning when the graphics driver falls back to software (CPU) rendering.
• macOS: Fixed core crashes on Apple Silicon (thanks @DarthMDev, #2).
• Windows: Source builds now properly locate SDL3.dll (#4).

Launcher

• ROM Library: Add any number of Pokémon Black and White ROMs (files, a folder, or drag and drop). Each is matched by its hash to the known good dumps, with its language, and shows as Verified, Modified or Missing. Files stay where they are, and a moved file can be located again.

Battle Remastering & Tools

• Battlefields & Camera: Arenas now support multiple camera angles, trainers have dedicated field positions, and trainer sprite scaling persists on switch-ins.
• Spot Editor: Redesigned layout, added in-editor battle preview, and added opponent trainer scaling controls.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash when switching Pokémon after an opposing Pokémon faints (#6).
• Fixed crashes during evolution sequences.
• Fixed crash when sorting items in the bag.
