A new Steam build is online today! Here are the changes, since my previous update (about 2 weeks ago):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
depends.txt<\/code> is removed, and a mod<\/code> namespace with various new functions (like mod.RegisterMod<\/code>, mod.GetRegisteredMod<\/code>, etc.) has been added.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Added kts.GetPlayerID function, returns a string uniquely identifying a player (requested by ImpassIve).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Player names can now be printed in localized messages (requested by ImpassIve).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Added kts.VERSION which is just a string containing the Knights version, as an integer (currently 28).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fixed a small bug in the Random Quest algorithm – I was looking over the code for this and I noticed that it can sometimes be biased towards certain options (for example, it was picking Ancient Book of Knowledge more than the other books). This should now be fixed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
I think this is now a good “release candidate” build – except for one thing, which is ZaRR’s Russian translation – I’ll follow up about that separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m going to spend the next few days setting up the Steam store pages, then we’ll have to think about doing some proper playtesting, and making a trailer video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
