EEex v0.10.0-alpha

Features

• Overhauled much of EEex's code to improve performance issues on certain modded installs.

• Added an experimental component that replaces the engine's embedded Lua version with LuaJIT. This can drastically speed up EEex's Lua scripting.

Engine Fixes

• op182 now works as intended – (Thanks @4Luke4!)

• Fix v2.6 regressions regarding op206 / op232 / op256 – (Thanks @4Luke4!):

  • op206's param1 only worked for values 0xF00074 and 0xF00080
  • op232 and op256's "you cannot cast multiple instances" message failed to display

For Modders

Added:

• Effects:

  • op214:

    • param2 == 3 – Call the global Lua function with the name in resource to get a CButtonData iterator. Then, use this iterator to determine which spells should be shown to the player. Note that the function name must be 8 characters or less, and be ALL UPPERCASE.

    • resource – Name of the global Lua function when param2 == 3

  • op333:

    • (param3 & BIT0) != 0 – The effect's saving throw is only checked once – (Thanks @4Luke4!)

  • Saving throw field:

    • BIT23 causes the effect to bypass op101 – (Thanks @4Luke4!)

• Actions:

  • SpellObjectOffset() family that targets spells at the ground relative to an object – (Thanks @4Luke4!):

    • 476 EEex_SpellObjectOffset(O:Target*,I:Spell*Spell,P:Offset*)
    • 476 EEex_SpellObjectOffsetRES(S:RES*,O:Target*,P:Offset*)
    • 477 EEex_SpellObjectOffsetNoDec(O:Target*,I:Spell*Spell,P:Offset*)
    • 477 EEex_SpellObjectOffsetNoDecRES(S:RES*,O:Target*,P:Offset*)
    • 478 EEex_ForceSpellObjectOffset(O:Target*,I:Spell*Spell,P:Offset*)
    • 478 EEex_ForceSpellObjectOffsetRES(S:RES*,O:Target*,P:Offset*)
    • 479 EEex_ReallyForceSpellObjectOffset(O:Target*,I:Spell*Spell,P:Offset*)
    • 479 EEex_ReallyForceSpellObjectOffsetRES(S:RES*,O:Target*,P:Offset*)

• Items:

  • .ITM header flags:

    • BIT18 causes the weapon to ignore weapon styles (as if the item was in SLOT_FIST) – (Thanks @4Luke4!)
