Version 1.17 is now ready for testing the beta branch!
Gameplay wise this is a very small version. It is intended as a public test of the future scripting system, NimbyScript, with the top level logic of path signals and balises now being implemented in NimbyScript rather than the native C++ code. If this test is successful, by not introducing instability or performance issues, then future versions of the game will make it possible for players to use NimbyScript for custom signal logic and other functionality. For for now, in 1.17, NimbyScript is read only and the new Control editor is very bare bones.
To make this version a little more exciting it includes a couple extra features, and a few more will be implemented during the beta period.
Recolorable UI
It is now possible to change the colors of the UI:
To access the new settings for this feature, go to Options and select Interface.
Alert listing
Alerts can now be viewed in a listing:
All queued alerts are immediately available in the listing, and older alerts are also kept there, past the new alerts and any “missed” alert (shown but not interacted with). There’s a limit of 200 alerts, and they are automatically cleared as new ones are pushed at the front, or you can just clear them manually.
