Revision .58 has been released and the following has been completed:
bug
fix
exsisting feature change
new feature
The option to allow interactive sub-prompts was not allowing messages to be displayed.
Fix: Prompts now behave exactly as before when interactive sub-prompts are enabled.
Planet #2 was assumed to be Ferrengal when Ferrengal didn't exist.
Fix: Planet #2 is only assumed to be Ferrengal if Internal Ferrengi has been set in Bigbang.
Dropping carrier while being attacked by a Ferrengi causes the player to lose at most one fighter, while the Ferrengi may lose multiple fighters.
Fix: Dropping carrier in this situation triggers an automatic Flee command. The player will lose fighters just as if he had fled the Ferrengi normally.
The state of a planet was not updated after a player succeeded in landing. If the player takes long enough to land, the state of the planet may have changed, and the player will see the planet in its original state.
Fix: The state of the planet is refreshed as soon as the player reaches the planet surface.
It is now possible to abort the display of queued messages using the space key.
The number of messages queued while at a non-interactive sub-prompt has been limited to 20. In the future, this will become a user setting, allowing the player to determine the number of messages to store and display.
New: Added an experimental global to help scripts and helpers verify the active prompt. Using the extended character ascii 145, a script or helper can tell TW to redisplay the active prompt, followed by the same ascii character, #145. The result of issueing a #145 will be two newlines, followed by the prompt, followed by ascii 145 and a backspace. In some cases, there will be additional dynamic information following the ascii 145, so it is not guaranteed that the 145 will be at the end of the prompt line.
IMPORTANT: This is experimental. Do not integrate this fully into your scripts or helper until it has been verified to be effective and locked in as a feature.
