The landing point is noted from the grenade's cEventFX 0x96 at launch; a
translucent red circle with the explosion radius (shared ImpactRadius) is
drawn after the world's ground, under the objects, and ends when that
grenade's impact gathers its targets. Ground -> screen projection in
game/engine/worldview.h.

Escorts lost their place on the hero's follower list after a load, so
quest checks like the one in "Furchtbares Verbrechen" failed; they are
added back once after loading (town NPCs that tag along briefly are left
out). Restarted quests stay available (flag 1), which their giver's dialog
and accepting them need. Quest givers are read from the quest scripts:
when a running quest's giver dies, the quest restarts and the giver is
spawned again at her start; an accepted quest without its giver is repaired
on load. Notes on the script format and opcodes in docs/quests.md.

A dialog's quest comes from the game's script labels ("Dialog:<name>",
quest at +0x48). When that quest is done and not in progress, IsQuestNpc
answers false (blue on the minimap) and the idle action's type check
skips the turn towards the hero.

The zoom button never set the zoom point, so it zoomed on the last
magnifier point (or 0,0). While the button's zoom is on, the point is put on
the hero's map pixel every engine tick; the held mouse button still zooms on
the mouse. game::UiWindow / UiWindowShown shared from windows.h.

The game's list builder runs on a reordered copy of the book: the story, then
one section per region (id blocks of 100 grouped by the region their quests
lie in, named as the megamap names regions), unknown quests as "???", the
rest joined to the nearest area, undiscovered counts. Act tabs hidden, page
turning kept. "Erledigte anzeigen" row toggles completed quests
([questbook] ShowCompleted).

- Megamap / TAB map zoomed view: heroes' markers and the other symbols
(integer 200h centre immediates) follow the view's centre.
- Map reveal: the hero's reveal stamp scaled 10x (mods/mapreveal.cpp,
docs/map-reveal.md); creatures on the zoomed map shown within 10x the
sight range.
- Load / save progress screen drawn on the rock background across the full
width, the picture blended over it (mods/loadingscreen.cpp); the classic
1024x768 frame is gone.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- The game's cheater detection killed the hero ("Hase!") whenever its
protected stat mirror was stale; the mirror is now refreshed from the hero
whenever it is unlocked, stream checks never punish, loadHero no longer
sets the cheater flag (docs/anticheat.md).
- saveHero wrote the items of weapon sets 1-5 only: its loop runs over all 7
sets, so sets 6-7 survive a world loading the hero from the hero file.

- Spielen hero panel shows the selected hero in 3D (cUI_NetGranny,
game/ui/granny.h).
- All menu screens draw on the options' rock wall; the main menu's 1024
frame is drawn centred over it, mouse and cursor shifted to match.
- The main menu's and options' own pictures and the main menu's 3D scene
are left out (textures hidden by surface, scene call redirected).
- Logo top left: FX_SACREDLOGO.TGA, drawn added.
- Game textures by name (game/ui/texture.h), textured and added quads.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Shared screen kit (mods/screen, docs/screens.md): a 1365x768 canvas
centred in the render width on our own dark background, the game's
frames and buttons; the main menu renders full width while it is shown.
- The load window (cUI_Savegame) is replaced by the Spielen screen:
character list, hero panel, campaign x difficulty grid, save/autosave
choice, rename/delete/reset/new character dialogs.
- Migrated characters without a shared hero load their hero's world
first, then start the new world.
- Options, Allgemein: autosave interval (Aus/5/10/15/30 minutes).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Esc menu: "Exportieren" became "Laden"; it opens the load window, always
in load mode. In a game every world loads (the current one reloads); a
"(neu)" world stops the game (cCommand_armaStop) and starts the new one
without the main menu. The character being played cannot be deleted.
- Silent autosave every sacredK.ini [characters] AutosaveMinutes (default
10, 0 = off) into the character's autosave file.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
"Zuruecksetzen" in the load window lists the selected character's worlds
and asks for confirmation. The world goes (a copy in characters\deleted),
with an autosave of it, and the shared hero's story completion of that
difficulty is cleared. The dialog is one generic list (title + entries).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- cUI_EscMenu::BuildLines hook: the UI_ESC_EXPORT line is removed, the
lines below move up, the window shrinks by one line, centred.
- game/ui/control.h: control vector helpers (ControlsIn, RemoveControl,
SetControlAt, DeleteControl, ControlNamed), used by the main menu too.
- The export screen is unreachable now: charexport.cpp and
docs/char-export.md deleted. Spielen screen redesign noted in todo.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- CharacterNN.sacredK holds the shared hero and one world per difficulty,
plus an autosave file; the game works in save\characters\_work
- Load window: one row per character, a difficulty dialog on Laden
(worlds, newer autosaves, "(neu)" starts a new game with the shared
hero), Umbenennen, delete moves the character to characters\deleted
- The world keeps its own portals and hero position when the shared hero
is put on
- K and the Esc menu's "Speichern" save directly (quicksave path)
- One-time migration of the old save rows and exported heroes, after a
backup
- Startup no longer hangs in the game's foreground loop (0x810af0)
- Text overrides apply to our own text ids too; shared cUI_Button2
helpers in game/ui/button.h
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
sacred_re.dll/.exe/.ini/.log/_crash files are now sacredK.*; inventory saves
with the old "sacred_re.inventory" format id still load.

- Options window in three tabs; the auto-pickup settings move to Beute;
sliders move with their page; black sides like the save game screen.
- Tastenbelegung: every binding settable (click, press key; Esc cancels,
Backspace unbinds), "Alle zurücksetzen" as a game button, saved on OK.
- Potions bindable (default unbound), named by the game's potion texts; the
game's own potion hotkeys are off; bar tooltips show the bound key.
- Map (M), overview map (Tab, held) and labels (Alt, held) bindable; the
game's own M / Tab / Alt handling is switched off.
- Save game key calls the game's save window code instead of a posted key.
- Teleportationstrank: fixed text replacement from startup (also the
Ausdauertrank items, potion kind 5 as well).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Every yellow potion (potion kind 5, all stages) is a Teleportationstrank:
drinking it posts the teleporter's event to the busy dialog with the
hero's known portals; the potion is used up only when the hero teleports
from that window (closing it keeps the potion)
- Names replaced in every game text (ReplaceInTexts), so item names and the
bottom bar's quick-select tooltip read Teleportationstrank; GameText reads
the game's own text
- HeroIndex / HeroInventory moved to skillslots for shared use
- docs/teleport-potion.md; walking animation after loading noted in todo
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Shared chest: tabs "Truhe"/"Gemeinsam" as a column left of the grid
(game tab sheet), grids placed every tick, persistent across heroes
- Inventory tab texts capitalized (RegisterText / CapitalizeText)
- Combat-art runes stack like potions (itemstack, renamed from potionstack)
- Rune master: any rune for any number of runes, price by rune count
(4 runes = 1,000, x10 per missing rune), bought rune goes into the
backpack, Buy disabled without runes, gold or room, last rune remembered
per hero (saved), the chosen rune's name below its icon, dropping a
stack gives up one rune
- Keys: the old key handling no longer takes over after the save screen
(text field focus only counts while its dialog is shown)
- Esc crash: tooltips forgotten when the game destroys them
- Pick up (Q) sends the pickup order directly; search reach doubled
- Kettenblitz: tooltip shows hits per chain, chains, cast and jump range;
cast range 900 (longer ray segments), jumps half of that
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- potioncounts.cpp: each potion slot shows how many potions of its kind the
hero carries (stacks added up)
- potionstack.cpp: potions of one type stack up to 20 per cell; every
potion entering the hero's grid pours into stacks with room, the sort
button stacks first, drinking takes one off a stack, counts drawn on the
cells and saved in the JSON inventories
- game/engine/items.h: potion kinds and grid helpers; ObjectManager and
DestroyObject in objects.h
- auto-attack: the projectile-weapon target radius is a design value
- docs/potion-stacks.md: measured paths and the design
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- hud: shift SetViewport/Clear with moved windows (TAB overview map)
- megamap: view constants patched to the render width (clip, scroll limit,
edge scrolling, centre, dark band, zoomed view and its markers); frame
stretched to the screen edges, zoom controls and their click area centred
- hud: Anchor::Screen windows are drawn and clicked unshifted but still own
the event scope
- autotest waits for log markers instead of fixed delays (~18 s per run)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Skill bar: no art selection; slot 0 is the right-click art, keys 0-6 cast
slots directly; cooldown labels in exact seconds; slot 0 set apart.
- Arts regenerate on their own (casting no longer refills the group).
- Auto-attack after targeting or casting at a hostile creature, at the speed
of a held button.
- Auras can be recast while active (renew, no second visual).
- Blicke wie Klingen hits every enemy in range, physical, with life leech.
- Blitzschlag steers the game's own chain: 3 + level/5 hits, 1 + level/10
chains, re-hits a lone enemy.
- Weapon sets: click selects, drag only from the selected set; the leftmost
set is clickable (signed hit tests).
- Esc closes open windows before opening the game menu.
- HUD: standalone buttons and texts are centred.
- Record cache sized for widened views (town lag while walking).
- Shared game code: orders, fx events, text drawing, cooldowns, effects.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Saving marks effect objects dead, so after a load the Heldenmut /
Klingenblick buff was active but its aura effect (cObjectFX 842) was
gone. A few ticks after a save game has loaded, the effect is created
again for each such buff of a player hero (CreateAt + cEventFX 0x42,
as the art's cast effect does), with the buff's remaining time.
Shared game events (game/engine/events): engine tick and "save game
loaded" callbacks; the WASD mod uses the tick through it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Raw WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP are handled in both window procedures (the game
swaps 0x8110d0 and 0x8122a0 with SetWindowLong; 0x8110d0 is the in-game
one). Bound keys are swallowed and post the original hotkey's key event
to the kernel, so F-keys work and bindings are layout independent
([keys] in sacred_re.ini). Replaces the WASD hotkey remap and the digit
swap; W/A/S/D and the digit row no longer reach the game. Skill keys
still cast through the right mouse button. Enabled switches removed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
While W/A/S/D are held, the controlled creature gets a plain walk order every
engine tick toward its position plus the pressed screen direction, as the
mouse does while its button is held (every mouse event re-sends a walk to the
cursor point); releasing sends the target-less stop order of a released mouse
button. W/A/S/D key events are swallowed before the hotkeys see them; their
old actions move to G (action slot 3), V (pick up nearby) and K (save game
window) for now, configurable in [wasd].
docs/wasd.md: order format, measured mouse behaviour, hotkey map.
docs/todo.md: better pathfinder; final bindings for the moved hotkeys.
re::ConfigString for string settings.
