The maps are not included, but are available as a separate download. Things didn't work out well, so only one size/quality per map for now.
Speaking of maps, you'll probably notice that your already explored areas will be have concealed spots all over it. This left me pretty puzzled. Then I loaded up many unmodified game-saves in DISE, and all of them had the same spots. This means that the game adds them. I can't think of a good reason why the game would do this. Is it a bug in the game? Is it used to hide things on the map (added "randomness")? Something else?
If you have explored a lot and you don't see any of those spots, could you please share your game-save with me? Thanks!
What's new
- Application icon.
- Opening screen: Added Refresh button.
- Opening screen: Added a button to open Preferences directly, when the game storage location isn't set. You also don't have to restart DISE anymore after setting it up.
- Notification when DISE finishes saving (optional).
- Visual map and editor.
- Reveal/Conceal selected map.
- Removed "Reveal map" from Misc. tab. It revealed every map in the game, and it had a small bug which left a some blocks concealed throughout the maps.
- Friendly text for the map name on the Preview tab.
- Replaced Steam auto-sync confirmation message box, and improved the text.
- Rewrote parts of the Steam syncing process to avoid a crash that could occur when canceling the process.
- Syncing works again (updated OpenSteamworks sources).
- Improved error handling here and there.
- Added support for crash/debug reports, but it may not work in all cases. At least you're less likely to need to explain the steps to reproduce the crash! :D Still, let's hope that it won't crash in the first place...
- Minor changes.
Known issues with the features of this release
- The map has ugly stripes when scaling/zooming. I haven't found a way to fix that with the class/library I use (geek alert: wxGraphicsContext/wxWidgets, which uses GDI+ on Windows).
- Zooming/Scaling doesn't recalculate the new viewing area properly.
- Scrollbars and scale/zoom list (next to the bottom scroll bar) are not implemented.
- Crash/Debug reporting may not work in all cases.
- Performance issues with the map on lower end hardware.
- Other smaller things with the map and such.
