Done

• PVRZ format Add support for PVRZ files #1099
  • BAM2 format support, go implementation
  • adapted TIS format support, go implementation + has a shorter PVR page and different naming convention + page == -1 means full black
  • MOS2 format support
  • WED2? Is it even used? go implementation (perhaps also jwed is a useful reference)
• BMPv5 format Missing BMPv5 support #2080
• BAMv1 started using its alpha channel (only in the GUI)
  • d1c04fa but add a game flag
• TLK: ees changed the layout and dialog.tlk is now only found in per-language folders
• CRE: new creature flag bits
• Add GameType == "bg2ee" wrapper to GameCheck and use that instead
• Merge GUIScript changes into bg2, the same way iwd and how are sharing them
• WBM: the cartoons are in WEBM format, which our VLC plugin can play ... but not tested
• new tokens, PRO_CLASS is already there, BP probably not needed (black pits?) and the other one just requires a new entry to bgee's gender.2da
• merge identifiers Syncronize and limit key IDS values #2257
• Tooltips use white text (currently we use the bg2 background bam, so the color does not matter)
• Move SavePath block in example configs above the here-be-dragons warning (~/.local/share/gamename on linux)
• support for more lookup/override dirs https://gibberlings3.github.io/iesdp/appendices/override.htm (are they really used? Seems just like a performance degradation)
• "hide in plain sight" is hardcoded
• [bug] IWD1 & BG2: nothing grants racial infravision #483
• sod added a shorthand for drow equipment destruction: DestroyAllFragileEquipment(ADAMANTINE) where the material is a new bit in ITM
• (extra) lookup path in user dir
• [feature] nexttriggerobject / triggeroverride support #90
• Implement the missing tables from Which data files are we not using yet? #348

Extract actual TODOs from these:

• recheck this list of novelties: some may still need implementing
• check IESDP for new and changed actions
• check IESDP for new and changed triggers
• check IESDP for new and changed opcodes (especially bgee-only files in _opcodes)
• check all the new 2da files on IESDP Which data files are we not using yet? #348
• add new objects

Misc

• new portrait sizes (now we manually force the smaller size)
• ^ color tags in strings
• SoD uses fog, so readd the setting of WB_FOG and find a good way to visualize it (original sucked)
  • use fogarea.2da and fogpt.2da settings
• file format differences
  • TIS: add water overlay transparency support (see TODO in AREImporter)
  • CRE: new fields in the old unused proficiency fields (see 0x007b)
  • TOHv2 support
  • MOS: except for pstee, the ees autogenerated the minimaps, so recheck if they are missing for the newly added areas
  • ARE area animations also support WBM instead of BAM/PVRZ (see bits in AreaAnimation.h)
• Implement the missing tables
  • campaign.2da: set Game::CurrentCampaign when parsing and implement GameScript::MoveToCampaign
    • also save these fields in GAMImporter, not just read them
  • enginest.2da support is needed for bgee to be readable (and probably a strref-strref remapping for the py side; or a we go and start using constants)
    • the EE engine supports an alternate string reference algorithm (mostly used in UI code): virtual strref = 0xf00000 + ENGINEST.2DA row index
  • 7eyes.2da (related to the updated 7 eyes iwd opcode(s))
• Once it's good enough, add Autodetect.py with some marker files (check Weidu)

TODOs:

• search our code for "TODO.* ee"
• other reported EE issues/features

For later:

• eventually we also have to decide about the GUI layer
  • use Lupa or a manual translator, so we can reuse more of our python code?
• [feature] fully externalised char animations #93
• black pits 1 & 2
  • needs campaign.2da support first
  • startbp.2da (black pits start.2da, for some reason not part of campaign.2da)
  • tbpparty.2da (predefined party, similar to iwd2?)
• support bgee without sod or not?
