IceBlinkBasic Toolset and Engine

v22 Release Notes (2017-9-10):

Official non-beta initial release :-)  In sync with Android version as well.

v18 Beta Release Notes (2017-7-24):

Significant change to create a common data file for engine level data that is used for all modules. The IBbasic system now works similar to how NWN1+2 have engine level data (classes, races, spells, creatures, items, etc.) and module level data (creatures and items). This will simplify the building for most new builders and create a common system for transfering characters between modules eventually. There is an "advanced" mode button that will allow advanced builders to edit engine level data and then submit the 'data.json' file to me for inclusion in general releases or send the 'data.json' file to other players for them to place in their 'override' directory while playing the module. 

v17 Beta Release Notes (2017-6-25):

Staying in sync with Android version number releases now. This version contains all updates to keep the PC and Android versions in sync. 

v9 Beta Release Notes (2017-3-10):

Staying in sync with Android version number releases now (skipped v8 here). 

-Added a save settings feature so that all of your toggle settings are remembered (settings are loaded upon opening the app and saved upon exiting).

-Added a "return to main menu" button. It can be found in the menu from the "disk" looking button on the main map screen.

-Fixed a bug where buff/heal spells were applied to enemies and friends...now just friends.

-Fixed bug where dead PCs could cast spells on main map screen.

-fixed healing issues in Lanterna and Lanterna2

-added the missing player options for module specific portraits and two tokens in The Elderin Stone

-fixed The Elderin Stone only allowing one PC creation per session

-changed The Elderin Stone to use selected PC for stat boost items

-improved memory usage with the Return to Main Menu feature

(make sure you update to the latest versions of the modules as well as this version of the app).

v7 Beta Release Notes (2017-3-05):

Staying in sync with Android version number releases now. This version includes a toggle feature for switching between 7x7 grid maps and 11x11 (both main maps and combat).

v6 Beta Release Notes (2017-2-26):

Major change to the UI layout so that it will work and look better on smaller screens and tablets as well.

v5 Beta Release Notes (2017-2-17):

This is the last BETA version (most likely) before the initial release. I posted the Android version to the BETA channel on Google Play as well. 

Now available for testing: Hearkenwold, The Elderin Stone (v103), and Lanterna - The Exile. Please join me in bug hunting, yeah :)

v4 Beta Release Notes (2017-1-20):

Happy New Year fellow IceBlinkers...Lots more polishing work and bug fixes (PC and Android versions included)...still a beta so expect a few bugs  

I finished converting/updated Hearkenwold, The Elderin Stone (v103), and Lanterna - The Exile. Come join me in bug hunting, yeah. Once we finish this round of bug fixing and polish, we will be pushing out IBmini's initial release for PC (here) and for Android (Google Play).

v3 Beta Release Notes (2016-12-24):

Merry Christmas Eve...Lots more polishing work and bug fixes (PC and Android versions included)...still a beta so expect a few bugs  I added wide creature (1x2), tall creature (2x1) and large creature (2x2) sizes which makes combat more interesting (tetris like in goldbox). I added triggers and props in combat maps as well. I added spells that leave effects on squares like stinking cloud. Added the ability to place traps on combat maps and a thief can try to disable them. Lots of other minor additions.

I added The Elderin Stone conversion to this download so try it out. It hasn't been thoroughly tested and needs some map layer clean up work so players beware ;-) 

Watch me play test (search for bugs and crashes ) the conversion of The Elderin Stone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71z0lVcVcB0&t=174s

v2 Beta Release Notes (2016-11-23):

Mostly lots of polishing work and bug fixes (PC and Android versions)...still a beta so expect a few bugs  I finished chapter 1 of Lanterna2 and play tested it a couple of times...seems to be working fine now.

v1 Beta Release Notes (2016-10-16):

This is the first builder's beta build (PC and Android versions)...aka, will be buggy 

Please read the _README.txt file for installation instructions for PC and Android

The Android apk installation file is also included in this download.

Includes initial Hearkenwold conversion (still w.i.p.) and an incomplete version of Lanterna2 (also a w.i.p.)

• I'll add more documentation as we continue to fix bugs, add polish, add more features, etc.
• I have't really tested on screens other than 1080p so other resolutions will probably work okay, but may need some work on UI sizing and location.
• Android and PC versions are in sync and identical for IBbasic.

Requirements:

• Win7 (with platform update), Win8, Win10 as well
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher (your PC probably already has this installed)
• Direct2D1.1 (Direct3D11) compatible graphics card and drivers (using SharpDX for this)
