Update v.0.99

Story Emulator
A downloadable tool for Windows and Linux
  • The structure of the text file of the story has been reworked. The "Names" and "Parameters" sections have been moved to the beginning of the file for greater convenience. The main body of the text file has received its mandatory "Story" tag. It works in the same way as the two tags mentioned above.
  • The "Autor" section has been added to the text file. In this section, story authors can specify their data, such as their name or nickname, links to various resources, etc. Information from this section will be published in the "developers" directory of the "F.A.Q." section. IMPORTANT! For a more detailed study of the new properties of the text file, see the "game-ru.txt" file.
  • The "Color" section has been added to the text file, in which you can set color schemes for your characters that will be displayed by default when the story starts. Color schemes are applied to frames and text simultaneously. The background remains unchanged.
  • Added support for .png and .gif files for avatars in dialog boxes. The search for files occurs according to the following logic: .jpg => .png => .gif. Everything works the same as in the case of scene images, but without video support.
  • The principle of file names has been changed. Now after the file name, it is mandatory to indicate the language in which the file is written through a hyphen. This option is necessary so that the emulator can change the history language without using the translators built into the browsers.
  • In the "singleplayer" mode, the ability to automatically change the history language through the emulator interface (if there is a translation) has been implemented. To do this, you need to add text files to your history directory with a mark of the language into which the translation was made. The logic is as follows: game-ru.txt - where "game" is the file name, "-ru" is the translation language. IMPORTANT! By default, the file named "game-en.txt" will always be loaded first, then you can change the language to the desired one in the settings. The absence of a file with the required translation will only change the language of the emulator interface, the history itself will remain in the language that was active before the attempt to change the language.
  • Added the "developers" directory to the "F.A.Q." section.
  • Fixed several bugs and errors.
