Levels have been normalized a little to scale smoothly. This combines
the old 1.25x and 1.5x zoom levels into a new ~1.41x zoom level.
Others are more-or-less unchanged, other than modification for the
requirement that scales are divisible by 4.
Also changed zoom level specification to direct integer sizes rather
than multiplication factors, so they can be specified accurately.
It has always been the case that they were required to be multiples
of four. This was just violated at some point.
This fixes problems with overlapping fog textures at some zoom
levels, and may also prevent some other rendering glitches.
These are leftovers from the original implementation of the disengage orb,
when it was a new color for the single-color orb. During the review process it
became the two-color design, but these parts were left in.
The value of orb_status_helper::get_orb_color(orb_status::disengaged) is used
(both before and after this commit) by the minimap; this commit changes
get_orb_color to return the partial_color() directly. The result will be the
same as before, because disengage_color() returned the same as partial_color().
Prior to this commit that was done by giving both orbs the same value in
game_config.cfg. If the advanced preference to change orbs colors was used, the
value chosen for the partial orb was passed to set_disengage_color() too.
Using colors to make relevant information stand out at a quick glance.
The six attack type icons are recolored using the six equidistant hues cyan, green, yellow, red, magenta and blue, with the same saturation and lightness as the old icons. The images are optimized with woptipng.
Resistances and movement costs are colored using a gradient from red to green, like the defense values.
The resistance table in the help browser now also shows the attack type icons.
Previously, the resistance table was always ordered alphabetically by their original English names (not their translation, unlike the terrain modifiers). Now, the order is set to blade - pierce - impact - fire - cold - arcane.
These changes are made in all relevant areas, including the help browser, tooltips, the sidebar and dialogs.
Missing icons are handled by replacing them with a blank image scaled to the same size.
It is not used, and appears to have been unused for a long time.
It was related to mouseover hex brightening, but the brightening
amount is hardcoded. There were associated hex_semi_brightening,
mouseover_image and selected_image keys, but that info is also
hardcoded, and those keys appear to have been removed already.
As the disengaged state is part-way between the "partial" and "moved" states,
the orb has parts in each color. On the minimap these units are shown in the
partial color (which is also the color that would be used before this change).
This will match the mounted Quenoth units' "disengage" skill, when they
can still move but can't attack. It should also trigger for some UMC abilities
that get extra moves after a character attacks.
During testing, I found that TSG allows some of the bandits to attack on the
first turn of the bandit branch. There's no gameplay change there, but the orbs
make it much clearer that some units can still attack.
I think there are already too many preferences for orbs, so reused the existing
settings for the colors. A new "show disengaged orb" preference is added, which
when disabled shows the old partial orb instead.
Update the orb and ellipse sections of doc/manual/.
Notes about how I created the new orb image:
* create a color range to_ellipse_red with rgb=FF0000,FF0000,000000,FF0000
* wesnoth --render-image 'misc/orb.png~RC(magenta>to_ellipse_red)' images/misc/orb-ellipse-red.png
* open the orb.png and orb-ellipse-red.png images as layers in Gimp, add a layer mask to both of them
* use the layer mask to get each pixel from exactly one of the layers
The strategy is two-fold. We move the rendering of the icon into the
battery status report where it can be disabled at runtime, and allow the
countdown/clock to move to the position of the battery status if the device
doesn't have a battery. I also moved rendering of the clock icon to the
time report to allow the icon to move together with the text.
I needed to change theme::status_ to store pointers to status items because
otherwise the countdown object loses its type when inserted to the map. And
to be able to use std::unique_ptr inside the theme class, I had to make the
class non-copyable and movable.
This key contains the color range ids of the standard colors in the default order.
Previously, classes such as the connect_engine would have to cast ints to strings and browse for the numerically id-ed
color ranges. Consequently, since there are only 9 ranges identified by that method, 9 became a hardcoded number of
colors in certain places. This key allows for greater control over order and content of the default colors.
remove hardcoded path for logo image
add 'game_logo' & 'game_logo_background' keys in [game_config]
this allows [core] authors to define their own game logo to appear on the title screen
this does not (yet) affect the loadscreen
These are the same as the default values in the C++, so this is
not a substantive change. But if a user is trying to figure out
how to reconfigure their sounds, the presence of these entries
might help them.
basic removal from config files (not from GUI2 specific stuff!)

"smaller res" support should be removed from GUI2 config files
