Version 1.4.5: Megarays, mod UI, ZoneMerge
Fairly standard patch today - some tweaks to sea monsters, crash fixes, and a handful of modding improvements. Rays are now a little more forgiving when you've just started out, and Amnitorsk hunting is much more lucrative.
The build mode interface is now a little nicer, and ZoneMerge is a new tool to play with that allows mods to make changes to the overworld or existing ports and dungeons.

I also turned a scrapped feature into a new 'official' mod:

I ended up deciding not to include it in the standard game experience, but if you're an advanced player that has run out of uses for royal favor, give it a try!

[h2]BALANCE[/h2]
- Warden's 'Barrier' duration reduced from 80t -> 70t
- Most Megaray encounters now only have 1 Megaray until the player gains 50+ fame or defeats some Megarays
- Ray Oil value increased from $16 -> $22
- Massive Gem value reduced from $5000 -> $2500
- Amnitorsk Crystals now turn into a Massive Gem ($2500) instead of a Huge Gem ($1000) when broken
[h2]FIXES[/h2]
- 'Sealed Door' is now added to your journal even when using the 'Skip Intro' option
- Fixed crash with certain sequence of events glitching AI calculations during boarding
- Fixed crash when investing beyond 90% in Wraele
- Fixed Mythril Greatsword only having 1 augment slot
- Fixed postgame dialog sometimes triggering without beating the final dungeon
- Fixed crash if your ship sinks from lightning in the overworld
[h2]MODDING[/h2]
- Improved readability of Build mode windows
- Fixed AvAffecter actorValue 'task' not working
- Added m:casterIsTarget and m:casterIsntTarget
- World time can now advance when not in a boat by setting the globalVar "worldTimeOnFootMult"
- Added new mod type "[ZoneMerge]", which can add a small chunk to a pre-existing zone!
- Uses the same format as [Zone] but with the additional properties "mergeWith", "X", and "Y".
- There is an example ZoneMerge in the ModSamples folder that adds a boat to port1.
- Applies once for any save that enters the zone, even saves that have already been in that zone.
- Is applied the next time the player enters the zone (not including loading a save).
- ZONEMERGES OVERWRITE EXISTING ITEMS! Be careful that it doesn't overwrite important things.
- Once applied, it sets the globalVar zoneID + "_merged" (ex:myModZone_merged) to 1 as a way to remember not to reapply the same merge ID to that save file.
- Is applied the next time the player enters the zone (not including loading a save).
- Uses the same format as [Zone] but with the additional properties "mergeWith", "X", and "Y".
