Stone Soup 0.24 (20191024)
--------------------------------
Highlights
----------
* Vampire species simplified
* Thrown weapons streamlined
* Fedhas reimagined
* Sif Muna reworked
Branches, Environment
---------------------
* Incremental pregeneration:
- This mode generates the dungeon in a stable order for all games regardless
of the path taken by the player, meaning that the behavior of seeds for
online and offline games should now be the same.
- Games using the same seed will see the same dungeon if they are
incrementally pregenerated without requiring the long initial generation
time of full pregeneration as introduced in 0.23.
- Incremental pregeneration is the default mode for new games.
- Servers can now enable seed selection without heavy CPU cost.
* A Trove map requiring many uses of digging has been removed.
* Identification scrolls are no longer used as a potential Trove cost.
* Transporters in vaults now correctly place in the Abyss.
* Fog generation in the Desolation of Salt portal now happens far less often
per turn, greatly reducing slowdown from high CPU usage.
* Random traps no longer place under items placed by vaults.
Character
---------
* Formicids can now use their dig ability on diggable statues.
* Manticore barbs now can only be picked out if the player can move, isn't
confused, and isn't asleep.
* Net traps now always trigger when the player steps on them.
* Vampiric weapons no longer have a hunger cost upon wield.
* Vampire simplification: Player vampires no longer eat or drink blood, and
have exactly two blood states.
- Alive: Regenerates quickly, normal HP modifier, no undead bonuses, no
batform, can transform and berserk normally.
- Bloodless: No regeneration with monsters in sight, -20% HP, stealth bonus,
undead resistances, batform, no other transformations or berserk.
- Blood states are transitioned by an ability which costs delay; becoming
bloodless incurs no penalty, becoming alive causes a temporary frail
mutation.
- Bat form causes stat drain.
Gods
----
* Fedhas reimagined:
- Piety is gained exclusively from kills instead of through corpse decay.
- Fedhas abilities now create plant allies directly as temporary summons
instead of creating permanent allies using plants. All abilities cost
piety instead of food.
- New abilities:
* 2*: Active 'Wall of Briars' ability to surround the player with briar
patches. Hostile monsters will attack briars to reach you, taking
damage.
* 3*: Active 'Grow Ballistomycete' ability to place a ballistomycete at
any location within radius 2. The ballistomycete will fire spores
that seek out foes and make a 1-radius damaging explosion that
additionally confuses living creatures.
* 4*: Active 'Overgrow' ability to destroy any non-permarock walls in a
3x3 area, replacing them with plant allies, mostly wandering
mushrooms or burning bushes and sometimes ballistomycetes or oklob
plants.
* 5*: Active 'Grow Oklob' ability to place an oklob plant at any location
within radius 2.
- Fedhas no longer hates any necromancy spells, and allows worship by undead
species.
- Removed abilities: Fungal Bloom, Reproduction, Growth, Evolution, Rain.
* Sif Muna reworked:
- Piety gain is exclusively from kills.
- 'Channel Energy' is available at 1* piety instead of 3*.
- 'Forget Spell' is available at 3* piety instead of 4*.
- New 4* 'Divine Exegesis' ability to cast any spell in your library
regardless of skill training. Receives a spell-power bonus based on
Invocations skill of 1.5 times the spell-power received from equivalent
levels of training in the spell's schools.
- The Divine Energy ability and Sif's miscast protection are removed.
* Trog and Okawaru now can gift unbranded boomerangs and javelins.
* Jiyva's Slimify ability now works properly on skeletons, zombies and
simulacra.
* Torment can now trigger Jiyva jelly spawns and Xom butterfly spawns.
Interface
---------
* The 'X' key map mode has zoom support, defaulting to 60% zoom.
* Sealed off clinging and sensed monsters no longer stop autoexplore.
* Equipment melding no longer stops autoexplore and autotravel.
* Armour, jewellery, and weapons can be worn/wielded from the floor.
* Summoner monsters are now highlighted when the cursor is over one of its
summons.
* Traps are now shown in the ctrl-x listing and are indexed in the stash
tracker.

- Darts of sleep, paralysis, confusion are removed.
- Darts of frenzy are renamed datura-tipped darts.
- A new dart brand, atropa is added. Atropa-tipped darts cause brief
confusion and longer-lasting blindness in the target.
- Tomahawks are renamed to boomerangs and always return.
- Javelins always penetrate.
- Steel and silver are merged into a single brand, called silver. Silver
ammunition applies the maximum of vorpal bonus damage and the old silver
damage bonus.
- Poison, returning, penetration, and exploding are no longer available
brands for tomahawks and javelins.
Lua
---
* Monster AC, EV, MR, MaxHP, and descriptions are now exposed in the CLua
monster.info class.
* A new function 'defeat_mr()' to determine the chance that a given spell
defeats a monster's magic resistance.
* There is a basic seed explorer available in scripts/seed_explorer.lua.
Monsters
--------
* Monsters can now use wands of clouds, iceblast, and scattershot.

that considers the time of each turn.
* Shroud of Golubria's spellpower is now capped at 50.

Changelog
=========
2019-10-10: Freedoom 0.12.0 released
General
-------
We now have a manual rendered to beautiful PDF format. Thanks to Simon Howard,
the project's founder.
A strong focus on vanilla compatibility has been sought for this release.
Most, if not all, levels should work now.
Final Doom compatibility de-emphasized. Where it creates conflicts with Doom II
mods or texture definitions, we prefer the Doom II side of things.
Final Doom-specific maps and mods may never look completely right in Freedoom,
as a result.
Levels
------
FreeDM has seen a major overhaul, with most maps being modified, with new
additions and removals of the weaker levels. It now benefits from the use of
Aquatex and Egyptian textures in some of its levels, giving a more vibrant feel
than before.
Phase 1 gets a lot of mapping love in this round, fleshing out the levels and
tweaking difficulty levels so easy, normal, and hard are all accounted for.
There is a new C3M5 by Mortrixs.
Phase 2 MAP01 saw an overhaul, simplifying its design in significant ways to
improve the flow around the level.
Two maps in Phase 2 were replaced due to being recreations of Doom II maps.
Jayexetee and GooseJelly get credits for the new ones, in MAP06 and MAP26.
Maps in Phase 2 in general have had some slight re-arrangement based on
difficulty levels and themes. A new MAP06 by Jayexetee is included, the old
one taking the MAP18 slot.
All levels are now guaranteed to have co-op and deathmatch starts.
Graphics
--------
New power-up (stealth, overdrive, and ultra-overdrive) sprites.
New necromancer (arch-vile) sprites by Urric.
Some weapon and ammo sprites have been tweaked and improved.
Completed and enhanced set of Evilution and Plutonia textures.
New skull-switches by MissLav.
New SKY4 based on an astronomy photograph.
Tweaked player sprites and HUD face by Ferk.
Music
-----
New tracks in C1M2, C2M3, C2M8, MAP03, MAP12, MAP22, MAP25, MAP26, MAP27, DM03,
DM06, DM09, DM17, DM24, DM31, and DM32.
All files in-tree have been renamed from *.mus to *.mid. The file format must
always be MIDI. This makes it easy on music composers to actually work with the
files.
Unix script and metadata
------------------------
Metainfo (formerly appdata) and desktop files have been brought up to the latest
standard specifications and recommendations, using reverse-DNS for the project
identifier, and a self-evaluated content rating.
The launch shell-script changed the PORT environment variable to DOOMPORT to
avoid conflicts with the genericly-named PORT. It also builds a sensible default
DOOMWADPATH environment variable to assist ports that do not have a hard-coded
fallback.
The script no longer tries to look for boom, zdoom, nor prboom by default, as
these are ports no longer maintained.
Build system
------------
Freedoom's build system now has a hard dependency on Python 3, in anticipation
of Python 2's end-of-life.
We have moved from ImageMagick to Pillow, a Python library for graphics
manipulation. It provides faster build times as well as API stability.
GIF files have been replaced with PNG files. True PNG file format transparency
is used instead of a cyan background.
ASCIIDOC and ASCIIDOC_MAN variables have been added to the Makefile to control
the AsciiDoc implementation used to generate HTML and man page files.
Features
Sound is now accurate to the original
All in-game issues fixed
Delete hero, inline dialogs and scrollbars are now implemented
Screenshots now have different names
Multiple simultaneous dialogs fixed
All builds are now 64bit (except for Windows and Raspberry Pi)
Memory leaks and crashes fixed
All keys are now mapped
UI text now has correct shadows
Much lower CPU usage
Known issues
Error dialogs not implemented in main UI
The game must restart after hosting multiplayer

- Major rewrite of extract_prince tool.
- Implement decompiler for Prince game scripts.
- Rework the Mohawk engine tools.
- Add tool to extract Hyperspace Delivery Boy! game archives.
2.0.0 (2017-12-17)
- Fix handling of output path for the compress_touche tool.
- Fix handling of input path for the extract_cine tool. It was only working
when run from the directory that contains the game data.
- Fix memory corruption that could cause random errors during extraction when
using the extract_cine tool.
1.9.0 (2016-10-27)
- Fix random crashes in the tool to convert Broken Sword 1 speech files.
1.8.0 (2016-03-04)
- Add a tool to compress Tony Tough's ADP files.
- Add extraction and packing tools for The Prince and the Coward.
- Fix detection and decoding of BS1 big endian speech data in compress_sword1.
- Fix inputs handling for extract_gob_stk.
1.7.0 (2014-07-21)
- Add support for CGE 2 (Sfinx) in extract_cge and pack_cge tools.
- Add option to run some of the tools in the GUI on all the files with the same
extension (e.g. run compress_scumm_san on all *.san files).
- Improve support for sub-directory structure in Broken Sword 1 (e.g. when the
files are in the Clusters, Music and Speech sub-directories).
- Fix issue with output file name in compress_sword2 tool when specifying an
output directory (the output file name was empty with only an extension).
- Fix issue when trying to use compress_scumm_san more than once in the GUI
tool.
1.6.0 (2013-05-31)
- Fix crash when compiling with wxWidgets 2.9.
- Add two tools to extract and repackage the Soltys game data.

- Fix various issues on case sensitive systems when looking for input files
(e.g. in compress_tucker or compress_sword1 the sub-directories and input
files needed to be all uppercase).
- Improve tool detection and inputs handling for tools that require multiple
input files or an input directory (in both the GUI and command line).
- Add signature to compressed Tinsel .smp to match the one at the start of
the .idx file. This ensures that no sound starts at offset 0, since that is
interpreted as the sound missing. This fixes the first line of speech when
Rincewind wakes up at the beginning of Discworld 1.
- Fix too long help string for compression tools in the extra input file
selection which made the file selection impossible because the widgets
were outside the window.
- Respect given output directory in compress_tinsel.
ScummVM version 2.1.0.

The motivation is to consider meson as an application, so there is only
one copy on the system, and as a python 3 program, it can build python 2
packages.

features tons of levels, enemies, speed, and quite a lot of the fun that
the original Sonic games provided.
