I announce hereby
the version 2.6 Barbarium of Diakreion,
the Scripting tool.

New:

- I completely changed the description-search algorithm. It's now more effective (finds more objects and ignores some not important) and 6 times faster.
- A bit design changes and small bug fixes.

I recommend to rescan the database after installing the actual version.

The item-creator is still not finished.

I announce hereby
the version 2.7 Quardrion of Diakreion,
the Scripting tool.

New:

- Implemented Ou.bin and Ou.csl generator (not dependent on Redefix, it is a different system*).
- Redefix (by Sumpfkrautjunkie of wog.de) is now part of the distribution (with a consent of the author). It may be started from within the Diakreion but only if Diakreion is started under admin rights.
- Advanced settings.
- Replace in all opened files.
- Improvements of ex/importer of texts of dialogs.
- Copy All and Paste All in ex/importar will select all and copy or paste.
- Check of availability of dubbing to all dialogs.
- Automatic scan of MOD and VDF files.
- INI files support.
- Bug fixes.
and lot more.

The item-creator is still not finished.

*Redefix works differently. It works on SRC files. Diakreion works on every D file with some exceptions. Even so the result is the same. Setting the path to Gothic in Diakreion resets the path in Redefix.

I announce hereby
the version 2.8 Metuzalion of Diakreion,
the Scripting tool.

New:

- FolderView (it's hidden by default, but may be uncovered in View)*
- Panel variability (you can move the panel from left to right and from right to left without limitations).
- Some design smaller changes (for example some buttons has now also picture next to description).
and more.

The item-creator is still not finished.

*FolderView works with actual path to Gothic, so you must first specify the path to use this feature. You can choose a specification, which you want: that is look-up of any file, look-up of D-files, SRC-files or/and INI files. Also you can work with the entire Gothic folder or just Scripts folder. All the settings are on the FolderView panel and can be reset any time.

I announce hereby
the version 2.9 Perpeplexus of Diakreion,
the Scripting tool.

New:

- Update of FolderView (it has lot of new features like Create New File / Folder / Delete file or folder / Open in Diakreion, Open All files from a folder in Diakreion, I redesigned it completely).
- Redesigned TreeView.
- Music Player (there is a start music in Diakreion and the music in Diakreion, there is also ambient music, I built in special player, so one can switch between musics or shut them down etc.)
- Diakreion Gothic Starter - from now Gothic is started from Diakreion. It is applicable for Gothic 1 and 2, and both Spacers. If you want to start Spacer, you must check Run Spacer button. You can also specify lot of features like parsing etc. To be able to start Gothic from Diakreion, the path to Gothic must be set in Advanced Settings. If you want to start another Gothic, you must reset the path. (I plan for future releases special functin, so one could specify both paths in the same time).
- Highlighted objects raised over 6000.
- Convlett v1.9 (Author Aeternitas) is now part of disrtibution.
- NPC Viewer (Author Marthog of wog.de) is now part of disrtibution.

New:

Important!

- At start I must emphasize the most important change. I divided Diakreion in two
parts. The Diakreion program and the Diakreion library. You need to download both
and to install both to run the Diakreon. The reason for this is that the Library is
big and I won't change it too often. So you need to download this part only once
or update it from time to time. On the other hand I made updates for Diakreion
program very often, every several days.
- The installation of library is very simple. Just copy the files into the folder
of Diakreion so in the Diakreion folder there will be the folder library. Diakreion
scans at start for the library and for its version and may offer you to download
it if necessary.
- Anytime you should use the newest version of both, of Diakreion and of its library.
- Diakreion may run also without the library but then lot of features can fail, so
I always advice to have installed the newest library.

- Hints in Editor.
- CTRL + Mouse makes link
= (While hovering over a known word, of which Diakreion knows the definition).
- Im/Export Texts works now only on D-Files.
- StayOnTop Settings for Windows of Diakreion.
= (Most of windows have now a checkbox on themselves to switch on or off the
settings of staying atop).
- New features of FolderView.
= (In popup menu of the FolderView you can collapse or expand all the tree.
I created also several buttons, which transport you at the special - commonly
used - locations in the FolderView like folders Dialoge, Items, NPC, Story, or
files Startup.d, Story_Globals.d, Text.d or Gothic.src. You can also open
the selected folder or a file of a folder in windows explorer.).
- Go To Folder
= (In main menu you can navigate to main folders of selected Gothic. The path to
Gothic must be set.).
- Movable panel of languages on main window.
= (The language panel is hidden by default. By moving the mouse over the button,
where the panel should be, starts timer and opens the panel slowly. The panel
stays open for several seconds and the moves back.).
- I made connection to VDFS application in the Gothic installation on the main window.
- Gothic Basic Script Installer.
= (Diakreion installs the basic scripts of several languages into the wished
folder, which should be empty.).
- Aeternitas's Script Packet installable by Diakreion Script Installer.
- VOB Catalog added to the Diakreion library.
- Texture Library added to the Diakreion library.
- MOB Catalog added to the Diakreion library.
- PFX Catalog added to the Diakreion library.
= (All catalogs are put on main window on a movable panel.).
and more.
