I agree to release my contributions to this wiki as public domain when possible.

Feature wish:

• Option to specify whether or not Vancian (Level MP) casting can use a higher level slot when the available slot is not available
• Battle script (see my talk on that page for more info)
• Allow experience awards to be negative (currently they are 0 to 32767, so in a signed 16-bit value you could go as low as -32768)
• Fast-forward key even if debugging is turned off
• More customization of equipment slots
• Target class "any except self"
• Hero extra fields 0,1,2
• Set whether currency symbol is a prefix or suffix
• Spell lists that delete a spell whenever it is used (can be used for lists that are prepared by script?)
• Seperate string and blob types in RELOAD
• Bitsets to tell enemies to provide cover against attacks that do or do not have specific element bitsets (for example, cover against all non-flying, or cover against all psychic); this prevents heroes from targeting enemies which are farther away from the one providing cover, so once they die it will be possible to target those beyond him
• Allow heroes to auto-perform an attack upon death (for example this may be used to perform an attack which kills all other heroes in case the game is you are supposed to keep a specific hero alive; another example is a simple counterattack; another example is to allow one of his body-parts to be used as an item in the current battle; yet another example is for that attack to instead-chain into a script)
• Absorption ratio instead of just a bitset (so, absorb off becomes 0% and obsorb on becomes 100%; negative absorptions could perhaps be used to implement a kind of recoil?)
• Allow damage absorption even if the attack is programmed not to actually inflict damage (combined with the above, you could cause an attack to chain into one which causes the target to attack the attacker back for their attack points in damage, ignoring defense)
• Allow poison/stun/mute/regen register to be used as attack/defense stats
• Allow changing which stat (or register) is used for aim/dodge
• True FM emulation (rather than just converting BAM to MIDI)

Text RELOAD format idea:

• Comment starts with # and goes to end of line (ignored when parsing)
• Integer, with an optional - or + and then number in decimal format, or 0x (or 0X) and hex codes
• Floating point as a number with a . in it; scientific notation also possible
• Identifier as a bare word starting with a letter or underscore and containing letters, underscores, and digits; or any text in " marks, using "" to represent a literal " (the delimiters aren't part of the identifier name) (this is needed to represent empty node names)
• String with ' surrounding it; you can use '' to represent a literal ' (no other escapes are possible)
• Blob, starting with x' or X' followed by hex codes of the blob data; put another ' at the end
• Equal sign = after an identifier put a value in a node
• Braces { and } after a node to include a list of children nodes inside of the braces
• Brackets [ and ] after an identifier to make a list of nodes without specifying their name (these are children of the current parent; it isn't a new parent; the name before the [ becomes the name of all of these nodes) (so values have no delimiters not even equal sign; they can still have child nodes themselves though as normal)
• The sign $ represents a null value; it is only necessary inside of bracketed lists
• Escaping codes?
