CHANGELOG.txt

version 1.2.4 May-29-2024
. I did literally the bare minimum to get this to run on iOS 17. Also, EKRecord now uses the NSJSONSerialization to save data instead of NSKeyedArchiver, because NSKeyedArchiver kept NOT working for some reason. Everything works fine as long as you only store numbers and strings in EKRecord, but if you try to store binary data or an object, it's going to throw errors. 

version 1.2.3 Aug-22-2016
. [NEW] Added .ROLLDICE script command, which generates a random number and stores it in a flag named "DICEROLL" (useful if you need random numbers)

version 1.2.2 Mar-21-2016
. [NEW] Can now change speechbox color, the text color in the speechbox, and the label color in buttons, from the "vnscene view settings.plist" file.

version 1.2.1 Feb-03-2016
. [FIX] Removed OALSimpleAudio, due to OpenAL being deprecated in iOS 9.0. Sound effects and music are now done using AVAudioPlayer.

version 1.2 Feb-01-2016
. [NEW] EKVN now runs on SpriteKit instead of cocos2d.

version 1.1.9.5 May-01-2015
. [NEW] .PLAYMUSIC script command changed to support fade-in/fade-out transitions.

version 1.1.9.4 Apr-28-2015
. [NEW] Added .SCALEBACKGROUND and .SCALESPRITE script commands to dynamically resize backgrounds and sprites.

version 1.1.9.3 Apr-26-2015
. [NEW] Added .MODIFYCHOICEBOXOFFSET script command to adjust the position of buttons during "make a choice" segments.

version 1.1.9.2 Apr-20-2015
. [NEW] Added .FLIPSPRITE script command to flip sprite horizontally (or vertically).

version 1.1.9.1 Apr-01-2015
. [NEW] Added .SETSPEECHBOX script command to dynamically change the speechbox sprite on the fly.

version 1.1.9 Mar-25-2015
. [FIX] Fixed how typewriter text handled display when the user taps the screen.

version 1.1.8 Mar-10-2015
. [NEW] Added a feature in the main menu where the screen fades to black and music fades out when starting a new game or loading a saved game. To enable this, just add "fade out time in seconds" to the file "main_menu.plist" and make sure the Type is set to "Number." Otherwise, if this key-value pairing doesn't exist in main_menu.plist, then EKVN will just use the previous method of NOT fading-out either the sound or the graphics and instead just instantly start/load the game.

version 1.1.7 Feb-11-2015
. [NEW] Added a "Typewriter Text" mode (activated/deactivated in script using the .SETTYPEWRITERTEXT command). When active, this causes text to appear one character at a time, instead of the previous way where the text faded into view. (Warning: this is a semi-experimental quick-and-dirty hack! It'll probably work without incident… probably.)

version 1.1.6 Feb-03-2015
. [NEW] Added a "cinematic text" mode (activated/deactivated in script using the .SETCINEMATICTEXT command). This causes the text/dialogue to advance without user input after a certain period of time.

version 1.1.5 Nov-01-2014
. [NEW] Added “no skipping until text is shown” Boolean flag to “vnscene view settings.plist” (and VNScene), which prevents skipping dialogue until the text has completely appeared on screen (default value for flag is “NO”)

version 1.1.4 May-12-2014
. [NEW] Can now edit main_menu.plist to have music playing in the opening menu.

version 1.1.3 Apr-13-2014
. [NEW] Added script support for switching fonts/font sizes in the middle of a scene.

version 1.1.2 Apr-01-2014
. [NEW] Added .SWITCHSCRIPT scripting command
. [NEW] Now supports having one "scene" spread across multiple .PLIST files

version 1.1.1 Mar-15-2014
. [NEW] Updated to cocos2d v3.0 (RC4)
. [NEW] Now supports 64bit
. [NEW] Added .ISFLAGBETWEEN scripting command

version 1.1.0 Jan-26-2014
. [NEW] Updated to cocos2d v3.0 (RC1)
. [NEW] Added .ISFLAGMORETHAN and .ISFLAGLESSTHAN scripting commands
. [FIX] VNLayer renamed to VNScene to better comply with changes in cocos2d
