eidos 0.2.3

What's new in 0.2.3

Mods & Launcher

• Mod Icons: The Mods page shows each mod's icon.
• Whiteout for Mods: A code mod can white the player out as after a lost battle (whiteout): the blackout screen, the last Pokémon Center and the nurse.
• Mod Warps: A mod that sends a door to a cell (map.warp) now lands the player on that cell; before, a door's own exit was looked up in the new zone.
• Battle Moves for Mods: battle_get reads a Pokémon's moves and PP as the battle has them, and move_value reads all three stat changes of a move.
• Rules: player_x and player_z give the cell the player stands on.
• Interface Translations: A mod can bring the one-screen interface's labels in its own language with a ui_text file; EIDOS_UI_TEXT_DUMP lists the labels a run draws, for translators (#21).
• Downloads: The Android APK and iOS IPA keep one name across releases, so the README's download links always give the latest; the release notes list the launchers and phone apps first.

Bug Fixes

• Pokédex Crash: Opening the Pokédex for the first time no longer crashes the game (#22).
• Pokédex Tabs: In the one-screen layout, clicking CRY no longer opens AREA; each tab opens its own page (#22).
• Field Reads for Mods: A mod's reads in the field (the party, the zone, the player's position) now work before the first battle; the player's position never worked before.
• Battle Reads: A mod's reads and writes of a Pokémon in battle (battle_ref, battle_get, battle_set) now reach the Pokémon asked for; before, every one reached the Pokémon in front, so the bench and the trainer's own side could not be read. A write reaches the battle's own copy too, so a Pokémon a mod puts at 0 HP counts as fainted when the battle checks who can still fight.
• Mod Start Reads: A mod that reads a move or an item (move_value, item_value) when it starts no longer crashes the game; the read returns -1 until the game data is open.
• Whiteout Event: The whiteout event now fires when you lose a battle, wild or trainer. Before, it never fired in a real game, so a Nuzlocke or Soul Link run did not end after a lost battle.
• Rules Mods Remember: A rules mod's saved values (a Nuzlocke's lost Pokémon, its used areas, its end) are now kept with the save. Before, the first rules mod loaded kept them only until the game closed.
• Launcher Icons: Item icons are centred in their square.
