Version 1.1.0

City Bus Manager Text v1.1 - Release Notes

🎉 What's New

DLC & Mod Support

The biggest feature in v1.1 is full support for downloadable content and modifications!

• Automatic DLC Loading: The game now automatically scans the dlcs_and_mods/ folder for vehicle packs
• Easy Modding: Create your own vehicle packs using simple JSON files
• DLC Tagging: All DLC vehicles are clearly marked with their source pack name in the fleet and shop
• Mix and Match: Use base game vehicles alongside any number of DLC packs

Fleet Number Management

Take more control over your fleet organization:

• Custom Fleet Numbers: Assign your own fleet numbers to buses (e.g., "101", "A1", "RED-5")
• Auto-Assignment: Let the game automatically assign sequential numbers if you prefer
• Edit Anytime: Change fleet numbers for existing buses through the fleet management menu
• Duplicate Prevention: The game prevents you from assigning the same fleet number to multiple buses

Quality of Life Improvements

• Fleet view now shows DLC source for purchased vehicles
• Improved fleet management with dedicated edit menu
• Better visual organization with fleet numbers displayed throughout the game
• DLC vehicles are seamlessly integrated into the bus shop

📁 Folder Structure

Your game should now be organized as follows:

CBMText/
├── game.py
└── dlcs_and_mods/
    ├── your_dlc_pack_1.json
    ├── your_dlc_pack_2.json
    └── ...

🔧 Creating DLC Packs

Create a JSON file in the dlcs_and_mods/ folder with this structure:

{
  "dlc_name": "Your Pack Name",
  "vehicles": [
    {
      "model": "Bus Model Name",
      "capacity": 40,
      "fuel_capacity": 150.0,
      "fuel_efficiency": 0.25,
      "price": 75000
    }
  ]
}

See the documentation for full details on creating custom vehicle packs!

• Fixed save/load compatibility with new fleet number system
• Improved error handling for malformed DLC files
• Better validation for DLC JSON structure

📝 Notes
