ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

[sound F/X: forehead repeatedly striking desk] Okay, that was embarrassing. Stupid typo in the last release that basically breaks entering stores. Fixed in v3l.1, just released. We Apologize for the Inconvenience.™

So it turns out Embers of Rage's Ancient Automated Archives subtly break the usual superloading pattern by modifying their Store:onBuy() method in place — which is a problem for us, since we superload that particular method. v3m, just pushed out, uses an Amazingly Dodgy Hack™ to work around that. We Apologize for the Inconvenience.™

Some of the dialog collision juggling I had to do in the ZOmibus v15 release inspired me to tweak a few more places with multiple-dialog problems. In this addon in particular, you've no doubt occasionally gotten multiple "you-can-now-afford-that-thing" notification popups at once (at least I have). v3n, just released, fixes that by clearing any existing notifications when it pops up a new one, on the theory that the old ones are now out of date and inaccurate.

Can it be that this addon prevent shops from restock? I met the same wished items in shops after defeating master and returning from east.

Maybe it's only for those with wished items in them.

I thought shops added their normal complement of stock on top of what they already had?

That's always been my assumption, and my experience. Otherwise, the artifacts that appear in stores would be lost permanently when they rolled out of stock.

v4 has a new feature requested over on the Steam page. The wish list dialog now has two tabs: Items Seen in Stores, with all the same functionality as before, and Egos to Watch For, where you can select object egos that will be highlighted in store inventories.

Aaand I should have known that wouldn't work. We were supposed to be stripping ego attribute annotations like #STATBONUS# and #RESIST# out of the names in the Egos to Watch For list, but due to a stupid typo, we weren't, and that was choking rendering of the dialog. That's fixed in v4a, just released. We Apologize for the Inconvenience.™

Pushing out v4b with a small tweak to the wish list popup notification: the stuff you can now afford thanks to whatever money you just picked up is now highlighted in bold, to distinguish it from whatever stuff you could afford before.

With stores no longer locked out before level 10, the changes in v4b.1 aren't strictly necessary anymore, but I'm going to declare them bugfixes and/or future-proofing and release it anyway — it just makes sense, after all, to make sure the store dialog is actually present before trying to modify it. Should be no change in functionality. We Apologize for the Convenience.™

So… that bugfix from v4a assumed that those (#STATBONUS#) and similar tags would always appear in parentheses in an ego name, and was taking care to strip out the parentheses too. Well, turns out, as reported on the Steam page, that that's not always the case, so we were leaving behind bare #RESIST# tags and choking the dialog renderer again. That should be fixed in v4c.2, just pushed out. We Apologize for the Error.™

Ever see something on your store wish list and ask yourself, "Wait, why did I put that on the list?" I have occasionally thought that it would be useful to be able to add a note to an item on the wishlist for exactly this purpose, and it turned out not to be hard to do.

In v4d, when you click on an item in the store wish list, instead of simply removing it, the dialog now pops up a menu of actions to choose from, including removing the item or adding/editing/removing a note on the item. Item notes will be shown as a tooltip in the corner, and a new column will indicate which items have tooltips.

(facepalm) Okay, so I really should have tested the new action dialog better before pushing it out. Screwed up the remove-item action, so it ended up always removing the last item in the list. Fixed in v4d.1; We Apologize for the Error.™
