[Tool] Diakreion - Announcer / Ohlasovac

[Aeternitas]

I announce hereby
the version 4.6.0. Infernis of Diakreion,
the Scripting / Modding / Player's tool.

New:

- 1) Diakreion Gothic Music Player updated to v1.4.0 Unhcegila.
- 2) Sounds Player in DGMP updated.
= (Now it is stable. I completely changed the system of player. So the player will
not crash anymore. I also added popup menu to simplify copying the names
into clipboard. It may be useful for Small Game creation.).
- 3) Small Game: Sounds of Gothic (Zvuky Gothicu).
= (It is in fact no game. You just walk around the country of Gothic and
listen to its sounds of beasts, of nature, of people, etc. I made it so one
can simulate the environment of Gothic without having to be in Gothic and
enjoy its atmosphere, while for example you did something else. The automated
walk is therefore activated but you can, of course, move by your own.).
- 4) More features in scripting of Small Games.
= (You can mix all the features from both already made maps, mixing the game
and the sounds. All the new definitions and styles how to do your own map
you can read from the script files of the new map. It is well commented in
code. You can also define there the not-walkable points.).
- 5) Game Score Verifier.
= (Once you get score, you get also a code. On the table of Score there is
Score Verifier.).
- 6) Series of maps.
= (In one script there can be more than one map defined, which will be
automatically executed after the given time. See the script files for more
info. You can make so the day and night maps.).
- 7) Auto start of maps.
= (Possibility of auto-start. So you load the script and the map is automatically
started.).
and more.

the version 4.7.0. Tenebrien of Diakreion,
the Scripting / Modding / Player's tool.

New:

- 1) Diakreion Gothic Music Player updated to v1.4.1.
= (I added the Volume feature for the map scripting. Info and instructions how
to use it is in the commented code of script files.).
- 2) Small Game: Sounds of Gothic updated to v1.1.1.
= (I adapted the map to volume feature, so now it is more balanced. I also
added several sounds all around the map, for example sounds of camp into the
camp, sounds of several more beasts, etc.).
- 3) Diakreion VDFS Reader.
= (I made a viewer and extractor of VDF and MOD files in the main application of
Diakreion. It is similar to the viewer in DGMP, it can play the sound or range
of selected sounds or folders. Moreover it also opens TEX, TGA, BMP, JPG and
PNG files, if they are present, in Diakreion Texture Editor. You can use
double click on the item or 'Action' button.).
- 4) Diakreion Library switched to 7-zip format in distribution.

I announce hereby
the version 4.8.0. Amphibian of Diakreion,
the Scripting / Modding / Player's tool.

New:

- 1) Diakreion Plugins.
= (Some features might be locked if you are missing some plugins. Plugins are
installed into Diakreion folder, subfolder 'Plugins', just copying them there.
There is no need to restart Diakreion after an installation of a plugin.
In 'Settings' -> 'Plugins' you find the plugins center, where you can
download the plugins over Diakreion. Either one after one, or a chosen one,
or the whole pack. If you are missing a plugin or Library and try a feature,
which needs it, Diakreion offers the possibility of download of such a plugin
or Library.).
- 2) ASCs Plugins.
= (I added the possibility to install ASCs of armors and beasts of Gothic 1 and 2.
The feature is divided into 4 plugins. You find them in upper menu 'Edit' ->
'ASCs'.).
- 3) Diakreion Library is no longer reported at start.
= (For there are also none-modders, who use Diakreion and do not need Diakreion
Library, so I changed the Library to be voluntary only.).
- 4) Diakreion Library updated to 1.1.0.
= (I changed the archives from ZIP to 7Zip. So now is the library smaller a bit.
Therefore Diakreion 480+ is only compatible with Library 1.1+. Older Diakreion
is only compatible with Library 1.0.).
- 5) Diakreion Gothic Music Player updated to v1.4.2.
= (I added the stop-global-sounds-at-a-point feature for the map scripting. So
on some points or rectangles the global sounds may be off. I added Diakreion
Update Checker into DGMP. It checks the version of Diakreion, not of DGMP.).
- 6) Small Game: Sounds of Gothic updated to v1.2.0.
= (I added the stop-global-sounds-at-a-point feature to the map. I added more
sounds all around the map, for example into the cave, on the rocks, on the
meadows, etc.).
- 7) Diakreion 7z.
= (I developed a small application to decompress 7z files. It is internally
used by Diakreion 480 and higher. It can also used manually. Just start it
and drop whatever 7zip files on it. They will be automatically decompressed.).
- 8) FPS Limit Option in Diakreion Gothic Starter.
= (I added this option so to restrict the FPS to 50 if needed. Implicitly it is
off.).
and more.

The Split Window is resizable and is always deactivated on exit.).

= (I added support for the function 'PrintScreen'. I also added support for
