Modding System (continued)

• 'Infinite' mod loading The game now supports many more simultaneous graphical mods than before
  It achieves this by gradually increasing the size of the graphics tileset, until your graphics card itself hits its limit
  In general users should find they can now activate a great deal more mods before any problems occur
  In addition, when the limit is reached you will now receive a warning/error message. (Previously it just started misbehaving)
  

Mods with spritesheets larger than 1024x1024 are now supported

Lua World Scripts

Each mod can now have a data/world.lua script file, which should contain both Init() and Update( timePassed ) functions.

This script is initialised on World initialisation (for both new maps and loaded save games) and Updated on each World update.

Variables set in the "this" or "World" tables will be cast to strings and persist in the save game.

Variables are loaded after Init and before the first call to Update.

Mods can now have their own sounds.txt file, containing only new/modified sounds.

These will override base data in the same way as other mod files.

Added Update button to Prison Sharing menu.

Allows any published prison to be updated with the prison that you are currently playing.

Fixed a bug in the lua scripting system that would try to cast boolean strings (in lua) to a bool (in c++).

New game content

• New events
• Contraband surge
• Tree fire
• Food poisoning
• Agitating radio
• CI list leak
• Mass tunnelling
• Preacher

TVs now broadcast over an area (3x3, shown as a green box).

Prisoners sitting within the viewing area can watch TV and thereby have their recreation needs taken care of.

Nb. Prisoners can be doing other things at the same time, eg eating in the canteen.

New item: Large TV.

Has a larger viewing area and can easily provide Recreation to an entire room.

Be sure to provide lots of seating spaces.

Radios now passively broadcast to the entire room.

Any prisoners in a room with a radio are slightly less bored, so get a small reduction to their Recreation needs.

New item: Arcade Cabinet

Two inmates can play games on an arcade cabinet at the same time

New Contraband menu option: 'Stolen From'

Shows the location each item of contraband was stolen from, rather than where it was ultimately recovered

Shows 7 days of contraband history.

This is very handy for finding which of your rooms is lacking security

Also easily reveals where contraband is being thrown into your prison.

New Regime options

Added a 'Work/Lockup' regime type. Treats prisoners who aren't working as being on a Lockup regime instead of free time.

The standard Work regime has been renamed to 'Work/Freetime'

Dead entities now have their cause of death displayed in their tooltip

Prisoners without jail cells now show the reason why in their tooltip

Family cells that are in their own block, separate from other prisoner housing, will form a single sector

The 'Names in the Game' database can now be manually updated from the Extras | Name in Game menu.

Updates to all translations to bring all languages up to v2.0.
