QTads 2.1.1
2.1.1 - 2011/02/18
-
When the interpreter needs to scale an image, it can now use bilinear
filtering. This results in smoother images (without filtering, scaled
images can appear pixelated or have other scaling artifacts). However, the
configuration dialog provides an option to disable filtering, since it also
makes scaled images appear less sharp. -
The "Game Information" metadata viewer now supports and displays cover art
images (as specified by the Treaty of Babel.) Also, the list of recognized
names and values (like "Genre", "Headline", "Forgiveness", etc) should now
be complete. -
The list of recently played games now behaves a bit smarter; it will use
the actual name from the game's meta data (if available) rather than the
path/filename, and will also try to avoid duplicate entries (which can
happen when symbolic links are used in the path and/or filename.) -
Fixed a bug that resulted in games using the wrong font in some places.
"Six Stories" is one example; it would previously use a wrong font for
input, titles and statusbar. -
It is now possible to use the main game font as input font through a new
option found in the configuration dialog. -
The file I/O safety level feature of the VM is now configurable through the
configuration dialog. -
The interpreter now correctly responds to game queries about whether
graphics, audio and hyperlinks are currently enabled or disabled.
Previously, the interpreter would always report that these features are
enabled, making it impossible for games to adapt their behavior (for
example "Six Stories" alters its behavior according to whether graphics and
sound are enabled in the interpreter preferences.) -
Fades and crossfades are now correctly advertised as being supported.
Previously, the interpreter wrongly responded with "not supported" when a
game was querying about it. -
Fixed a rare crash that occured while entering non-latin characters.
