- New in version 1.0
- -----------------
- * The game has been updated to UMoria 5.5.0, previous releases were of
- UMoria 5.4.0. UMoria 5.5.0 was released on 12 August 1992.
-
- * The Open File Dialog has been modified to optionally allow you to open any
- file. This makes the previously included application "Change Type to Moria
- Save" obsolete, thus it is no longer included in the distribution package.
-
- * The document "Wizard's Quest" is included. This is a written account of a
- game of Moria by David Grabiner. It contains lots of hints and useful advice
- for playing Moria.
-
- * "Font Size" window now implemented, and a new about box :-)
-
- * You can now "Save" or "Save As" a character and continue playing
- immediately, instead of having to reload the character after every save.
-
- * The game will now ask you if you want to save a new game or not when you
- quit or die. previously it was impossible to quit the game without saving the
- current character. It still automatically saves the current character when
- starting from a save file to keep it in line with the way UMoria works.
-
- * Some monsters were the wrong colour. This has been fixed.
-
- * Will now properly handle fonts that are not installed in a user's system.
- It now recognises VT100 and Prestige Elite without modification as well as
- Monaco and Courier. To add another font, just append it's name to the Font
- Menu using ResEdit.
-
- * the game always defaulted to Original commands ignoring what was set in
- the save file. This was reported by various people who like the rogue
- command set, and has been fixed.
-
- * spelling mistakes and typos have been fixed (ie "Show Wights in
- Inventory")
