- Modular computers now support multitasking.
- New hardware type added. Basic CPUs may be obtained when purchasing a laptop or tablet, Photonic CPUs can be printed at research at imprinter. This hardware piece determines how many programs can be on background.
- Programs can now have an icon that is rendered in main UI's header (along with the power icons, etc.) when the program is on background. As an example, these icons have been added to NTNRC client (Dark icon when no messages have been received, blinking when new message is waiting), Alarm monitor (Blinking red when an alarm is active, green otherwise) and downloader program (Animated arrow when downloading, stationary when finished.)
- Adds missing crew monitor icon to tablets. Fixes#11937
- Fixes a runtime error when an ID Card slot is Destroy()-ed
- Adds few presets for consoles, such as, engineering console, command console, etc.
- Adds tablet and cheap tablet as loadout preferences with cost of 4 and 3 points respectively. Cheap tablet contains only worst battery, hard drive and network card, regular tablet has average components.
- Adds codersprites for tablet programs that are currently required.
- Adds computer icons to some programs that missed them.
- Temporarily removes separate keyboard icon states for consoles. They may be reimplemented in the future in a bit better way.
- Rebalanced sizes of programs a bit
- File manager is no longer downloadable, as it is part of each hard drive's ROM.
- Fixed runtime error when vending a laptop
- Adjusted some code segments as per Techhead's suggestions on github
- Adds changelog.
- Hardware pieces are now items, rather than datums.
- Adds deconstruction for computers. Empty tablet/laptop/console frames may be wrenched to break them back into metal sheets. You have to empty the frame first, by using screwdriver to take out components one by one.
- Components may be moved between devices. You can for example take your tablet, remove it's hard drive, and slot it into a console. It will have all the files it had on your tablet.
- Not all hardware can be fitted into all devices. Tablet can't hold 2K GQ cluster hard drive, for example.
- Hardware may be fabricated by research for relatively low costs, once you have relevant research levels. Obtaining computer this way is much cheaper than buying it at the vendor.
- Data crystals added (glorified USB flash sticks) that allow file transfer to different devices. File browser program updated accordingly to support importing/exporting of files to these crystals.
- Battery module added. These are wrappers for actual power cell object and act as limit for cell size, otherwise it would be possible to have 30k cells inside devices, which would allow them to run insanely long.
- Adds new "File manager" program, that allows you to work with files stored on your device's hard drive.
- File manager can be used to delete/rename/view files. Some files can't be viewed (executable programs), some can be (data files)
- If your device contains NanoPrinter hardware you may print data files.
- You can edit the text files using simplified paper code.
- As usual, fixes various issues through the code, but likely creates more as this is still WIP project.
- Most importantly, NTNet software downloader program now exists and more or less works.
- Your device's connectivity has effect on how quickly you can download. Right now, things with wired connection (consoles) download at 0,5GQ/s, mobile devices on station where signal is good at 0,1GQ/s and mobile devices off station where signal is bad are limited to 0,025GQ/s. This is all controlled by three defines.
- Renames some files, tidies up some of the code
- Adds forceMove() and Topic() sanity checks from github suggestions
- Properly implements tablets, usage flags and portable devices in general. For now, adds codersprites (final release will have actual sprites)
- Fixes some bugs
- Assigns file sizes to programs
- Lays out structure for item-based modular computers (Tablets)
- Changes how icons for modular computers will be handled.
- NTNet adjustments
- Few fixes
- Small adjustments to NTNet behaviour.
- Adds "undeletable" and "unmovable" flags for computer files. Intended to use for ROM-style programs that are necessary for PC to work.
- Programs now know NTNet status and can act differently depending on this.
- Overall improvements of code, fixes, etc.
- Adds NTNet and NTNet relays. They currently miss deconstruction/construction but that's planned for later.
- Adds few more programs (still preinstalled in the laptop, for debugging)
- Successfully gets rid of copypaste formerly needed in templates. Now the header is in default template itself. This seems to be least problematic solution without making change to nanoui's code itself.
- Implements modular computers, starting with single program (power monitoring console)
- Implements most hardware. Some is still TBD, but the important stuff is in place
- Implements file-based system. Currently two file types exist, programs, which have NanoUI/Topic() interaction with user and data files, which may be used to store string of data.
