Last March we said a sad farewell and RIP to Gary Gygax. Now we have to say them to David Lance Arneson.
Many of us got our start in gaming with Dungeons & Dragons or one of its computer adaptations and have fond memories of rolling dice, poring over rulebooks, braving dark caverns and castle keeps, battling kobolds and hill giants. As avid D&D players we are all saddened by the news of his passing; we feel we've lost a true adventuring companion. Thanks for everything and farewell, David. You will be missed.
Today Mythic Entertainment brings you the massive and long-anticipated Patch 1.2, which heralds the arrival of the Choppa and Slayer careers, kicks off the Bitter Rivals live event content (March 3-10), new items, over 500 bug fixes, extensive career balancing, and much more.
Of immediate interest for our community is:
UI Mod Support
UI Error Messages:
The Warhammer Client will should now correctly provide error messages when you use the incorrect parameters for an API function call.
This formats lists the function name with its list of expected parameter types, along with the parameters that the game actually received. All table-type variables received will report only that a table parameter was received and the number of items in that table.
Previously, this parameter checking would not work correctly if you left off the last parameter(s) of a function. Instead of reporting an error, it would allow the Warhammer Client to attempt to reference the invalid variables. In the case of CreateHyperLink() function, this bug would result in attempting to create a link with an invalid set of pointers and cause a CTD in any UI code that did not include all parameters.
You can now enable/disable individual filter types in a TextLog. When a filter is turned off at the TextLog level, all entries of that type will be completely ignored and not stored in the log or written to disk.
You may modify these fields on a text log through lua with these functions.
TextLogSetFilterEnabled( logName, filterId, enabled )
local enabled = TextLogGetFilterEnabled( filterId ) Example:
Mod: EA_UIDebugTools
File: DebugWindow.lua, line 231
