Changes in XML elements between 0.99c and 1.0 RC1
This is *very* rough draft. Please contribute.
- Two new system events (can be used with objRegisterForSystemEvents)
- OnSystemWeaponFire
- aWeaponObj - the ship firing the weapon
- aWeaponUNID - unid of the weapon being fired
- OnSystemExplosion
- three new OnDamage* events
- Seems like they are used on the items causing the damage
- OnDamageShields - the damage returned is the damage applied
- aDeviceItem - The device being damaged
- aDamageHP - The initial damage rolled
- OnDamageArmor - the damage returned is the damage applied
- aHitPos - position of hit
- aDamageHP - initial damage
- aHitDir - direction of hit
- OnDamageOverlay - Would seem to have the same vars as the others
- onObjUpdate: needs to be tested, probably only works on space enviroment types
- provides aObj
- New AI attribute aggressor=“true/false”
- New attribute in the Relationship tag, mutual='true/false'
- Ship tags inside of <Ships> elements can now contain a <Names> tag
- Ships can now inherit from a base ship class, using the inherit attribute
- OnDamage provides a aWeaponType variable (weapon UNID)
- New <OverlayType> element (which seems to be quite complex) works with objAddOverlay function.
- New attribute on items, useKey which can assign a key to a usable item, even if it has a screen associated with it (using the useScreen attribute)
- This probably means the <Invoke> block has changed
- ItemType attribute: useInstalledOnly/unInstalledOnly.
- <Names> has new attribute personalName='true/false'
- <Action> elements have a nextKey='1' and a prevKey=“1” attribute. Wonder what that does.
- The <Canvas> element is quite a mouthful - works with canvas functions.
- attributes: left, top, right, bottom
- <EnhancerDevice> has been completely revamped. In particular the new attribute “criteria” that gives extreme flexibility in enhancing items.
- <Relationships> is a new child for <Sovereign>, where it's possible to specify the disposition of other sovereign.
