Patch 258 is now up with scriptable spells, weather effects and some minor changes and bugfixes.
Patch 258 changelog:
- Fixed save game menus' new game option disappearing sometimes
- Added Ruby Interpreter
- Spells are now scriptable in ruby, allowing new ones to be added
- Powerful tool for server administration / cheating
- More scriptable systems very much possible
Ruby is a interpreted programming language much like Lua is.
Here is an example of what a spell's script looks like, in this case augmentum: *link*
The spells required rank and name is given by how the file is named.
You can type all of these commands in manually in the chat and
execute them like that if you're an authed admin or playing singleplayer.
The following example:
/##unit = DC.constants.level.unit_by_id(2); unit.skills.Add(autohash "Craft", 20, unit);
Gives one of your starting units very high crafting skill.
If you want to get into this and already know Ruby the best way
would probably be to check out all spell scripts and look through the
DC module.

Next patch I will focus on making the weather&seasons have at least some gameplay effect (rain causing lower visibility, winter causing units to freeze if not provided with fire, etc.)
and possibly put a new map feature in, depending on wether it works out or not.
