1.5.0.0

Smooth interior mapping

• You can now seamlessly switch your map between Appalachia or other interior locations
  • Change the selected space in the 'select space' tab, or;
  • Double click a space name in the search results
• You can now use NPC or Scrap search within interior cells
• The previous complicated 'cell mode' concept has been replaced

Map markers option

• Labels for map markers can now be enabled from Map > Show Map Markers

Hide legend option

• You can now disable the left-hand-side legend via Map > Hide Legend

File export options

• The user now has control when exporting the map to an image file. You can swap format between JPEG and PNG, and choose the compression/quality level

User Interface update

• The user interface has been refreshed, making better use of space
• It now also supports much lower resolutions without visual problems
• Several shortcut keys have been added, labeled on the menu bar. You can also use Ctrl+I/H/T to change plot modes respectively.
• Toggling 'search in all spaces' will automatically re-search

Visibility and Accessibility

• Font and text on the map is now anti-aliased and uses a drop shadow, for better visibility
• Legend text on the map has been moved left and slightly increased in size, in order to provide it more room and increase visibility
• Legend text will now not be drawn right in the top/bottom boundaries of the image, giving a neater appearance
• Colors in heatmap mode are now selected directly from the color palette, enabling adjustable heatmap colors
• A dark green color has been removed from the default color palette, replaced with a lighter green

Update to game version 1.6.4.31

• This release also contains mapping data up to date with the latest game patch

Performance upgrades

• Mappalachia now runs on the latest and greatest .NET 6 technology from Microsoft
• The database has been almost entirely restructured - this has enabled much faster searching and initial startup times
• The drawing speed of icon maps has been notably optimized

Many bug fixes

• Fixed a bug causing the map to move from its original position when being reset
• Fixed a bug preventing color names from displaying when the color palette was loaded from preferences file (Eg Red would show as FF0000)
• Fixed a bug preventing topographical plots from being antialiased
• Prevented heatmap squares from being drawn outside of the playable area
• The 'User Guides' help option now directs to the more user-friendly user guides section of the readme
• The color of the outline/background for the background of interior spaces has been adjusted to ensure visibility at all times
• Certain settings are now correctly disabled when an inapplicable space is selected
• 'Plot Icon Settings' has been renamed to 'Plot Style Settings' to reflect the fact that it can affect all 3 types of plot modes
• Fixed oversight in preprocessor preventing Map Marker entities from being included in the database

Behind the scenes technical changes

• With the .NET 6 upgrade, Mappalachia is able to continue to use updated supporting SQLite libraries
• .NET 6 is now packaged into the release, meaning end users will not need to install the runtime
• All new settings above are stored and restored via the preferences file
• The database is now agnostic to Cells or Worldspaces, and exports all automatically (known internally as 'spaces') - this means there is no additional work required to support a new worldspace if added
• The background image for worldspaces is now automatically found by matching their editorID against the image file name
• Optimization to preprocessor has dramatically reduced the memory it assigns
• The preprocessor has also been migrated to .NET 6
• Database summary is much more robust, allowing easy validation of the Mappalachia database as soon as Bethesda release an update
• Large amount of refactoring of the code base has taken place, which again ensures Mappalachia remains easily maintainable into the future, and allows other developers to more easily work on the project
