Version 2.1.1

• All-Link rendering is more of a debug mode than anything. It just draws straight lines
  • I wanted this to work with the underlying system, but that system isn't tied tightly to the data structures at play here so I did this to save time.
• Adding nodes to a collapsed node would cause some strange behaviors, so now adding a node uncollapses the node.
• XAML for External Link indicator added but currently not using it because it seems like a pain in the ass.
• Added visual indicator for Node ID
• Version to 2.1.1

Version 2.1.0 BREAKING CHANGES, Deleting Stuff, Linking Stuff, and Node Position

v2.0.0 Release Notes

The big change here is all backend stuff. The logic is now C# objects that are strongly typed instead of an extensible XML thing that I was using before. It still exports to a ChatMapper-compatable XML file (for my case, it's for Dialogue System for Unity imports).

• Big UI Cleanup and fixes here and there.
• Code is now cleaner and less horrifying, still not amazing but it's two days of work so whatever.
• Now works by binding to objects and exports to JSON by default.
• Still maintains an old XML export for various importers.
• Undo/Redo still a hot mess
• Anyone who wants to fix Undo/Redo, please go for it.
• Deleting should be trivial to add now. Haven't done it yet though.
• Happy to hear about your ideas for a great coffee drink or accept any pull requests that add missing features or de-shit Undo/Redo

I'll try to get to any bug reports. New features are lower priority since I'm working on my game.

Shouts to everybody in the credits and a bunch of StackExchange WPF advice because WPF is kind of a black-box nightmare but that's my life.

v2.1.0 Release Notes

• Show outgoing links from a given node in a list view
• Add arbitrary outgoing links via the UI above the Link List
• Context Menus added for deleting all current types.
• "Logic Nodes" added. This is basically a checkbox that's used to minimize nodes.
• Dialogue box also no longer shows up unless there is dialogue.
• Added canvasRect to XML export so the node layouts persist when imported Dialogue System for Unity.
• This also saves to the JSON format.
• Version arbitrarily bumped to 2.1.0

Version 1.11.0 Beta (really Alpha, whatever)

Fixed a few things.

• Installer now uses local appdata so the file menu doesn't crash due to modern windows permissions issues. (fixes #6)
• Cleaned up the UI a bit.
• No longer using Mahapps.Metro (credits file not updated yet)
• JSON exporting menu is enabled (forget if it was in older builds).
  • It outputs a serviceable (with minor modifications) JSON file, but it's not the prettiest thing. Still uses ChatMapper's basic format, just in JSON format.

Issues

• Undo/Redo is still a minefield.
• Still no deletion.
• Still working on my game so this is mostly usability updates for me, sorry.
• Please contribute, :D

TalkerMaker Deluxe v1.10.1 Beta

ADDED

• Version display box.

FIXED

• Undo/Redo transposition bug.

TalkerMaker Deluxe v1.10.0 Beta

ADDED

• Auto-save/backup every five minutes.

FIXED

• Node undo bug where selecting a node after undoing would still try to recolor the deleted node.

About the auto-save: The auto-save automatically saves any known save location every five minutes. Regardless of whether the file has been saved to a known location (displayed in the title bar), it saves to one of three backup files in the application directory every five minutes. These files are named obviously with autosave_1 being the newest and 3 being the oldest. The auto-saver ONLY executes a save if the file needs saving which is pretty over-aggressive for safety sake and denoted by a * in the title bar. needsSave=false is only set by the auto save if there is a known save location.

TalkerMaker Deluxe v1.9.2 Beta

ADDED

• Undo/Redo for the main tree.

Don't really intend to make this global. If I ever get around to doing MVVM hookups, this will be a lot easier to track, but as it is, it's a bit of a pain in general.

TalkerMaker Deluxe v1.8.2 Beta

ADDED

• Collapse/Expand All
• Windows size and position saving.

FIXED/IMPROVEMENTS

• Bring selected and newly added nodes into view.

TalkerMaker Deluxe v1.7.13 Beta

FIXES

• Fixed some visual issues with labels overlapping or causing problems.
• Fixed a saving bug that didn't know tell the program that the file had been saved.
• Added the saved file to the recent files list.
• Added AllowReturn on the Dialogue textbox as it seems like it ought to allow them. All Description boxes are still single line.
• Style change on the ToggleButton and foreground color fix for selected text.
• Fixed some height issues with larger text boxes.
• Changed the margin a bit to give the nodes a little room to breathe.
• Changes to variable display
• Added some extra padding.

TalkerMaker Deluxe v1.7.4 Beta

I think I'm pretty much there. Clearly, I am awful at properly stopping dev on this to go work on the game, but when you're using a shit app, it's hard to want to use it... if you catch my meaning.

New Features

• Links for conversation looping/dynamic jumps.
• False Condition Behavior selection
• Actor image on node
• Recent file list
• PURPLE!
• JUST KIDDING BLUE!

Fixes/Improvements

• Changed the collapse element to be more readable.
• Ranch dressing
• Fixed a bug with nulling selected items on project load.
• Intelligent hiding for rows on the root node for UX purposes
• Moved opening logic to a set handler like saving.
• Changed out number rotator because the Mahapps one looks like shit and
  I hate that is uses and int Value instead of strings OR ints or
  whatever.
• Some small changed to Textblocks for cleaner handling of long values
• Fixed some initializing errors when adding new nodes that caused a project load crash.
• Dialogue now labelled correctly.
• Saving a file now actually lets the program know what file is open. Herpderp.
• I think that's it.

TalkerMaker Deluxe v1.5.4 Beta

Added:

• Node colors.
• AvalonDock customizable layout (saves on exit, loads on load)
• Visual overview (really necessary for larger maps)

TODO:

• Add on-click move for the overview scroller.

Should be more usable now, especially for larger trees. Now 100% guaranteed to get you women. Or men. Whichever you're into.

v1.5.1-v.1.5.4 have been minor bugfixes and logic changes. Nothing major but worth replacing.
