Data cleanup and bugfixes
published: Mon 30 June 2025This week was spent cleaning up the quest system and some odd bugs and then beginning work on some actual graphics for the player.
The main work of the week was not visual, but involved a breaking change to how data is stored and loaded. I switched from using ini files to json for all of my custom resources (e.g. maps, quests). This was for a few reasons, but most important is the ability to better control how data is ingested, meaning this hopefully won't happen again. The upside is that all data is now read from user://mods, rather than specific subdirectories, so mod authors can organize their data however they want. The world editor still puts maps in user://mods/user/data/maps, but that's just by convention.
