New area: Queensmouth Fire Department 2F
There is a chest behind a door with a difficult lock.
The chest contains the blueprint of fire axe and a turnout coat with 3 random prefixes.
The name of the coat will likely be very long. Thus, maybe consider using a "magic pen" to rename it to whatever you want.
Added Fire Extinguisher into the firefighter zombie's drop list.
Removed some high-tech items in the map of the 1978 versions of the Queensmouth.
#########System#####################
A system is now in place to allow external code to overrule the default prefix-list in an item's procedurally generation code.

新区域：王后镇消防局2楼
该区域有一道有较高难度的上锁的门。
门后有一个箱子里有消防斧的设计图和一件有三个随机词缀的消防服。
因为词缀很多，所以这件消防服的名字会很长。因此，建议用"魔术笔"把它的名字改成任何你觉得更好听的名字。
消防员僵尸现在可能掉落灭火器。
在1978年版本的王后镇的地图上移除了一些过于高科技的物品。
########系统改进#######################
一个允许外部代码重载一个动态生成物品的默认的前缀代码的系统被加入。

Made the description of the baseball bat funnier. (It does not affect already generated items.)
Baseball Bat/Police Baton/Police Uniform may now have a new possible prefix.
Dirty Coat (dropped by crazed survivors) may now have 6 possible types of prefixes. (The chance to have a prefix on it is a bit lower than normal as it already has one special attribution on it by default.)
When cleaning up your bounty in Liu, the Captain's portrait will now show on the right side instead of the left side of the screen so that it's more consistent with his other dialogue.
New drop list for firefighter zombies.
New item: Turnout Coat. (It has good fire resistance. It can have prefixes. Dropped by firefighter zombies.)
#########System#####################
Adjusted the x coordinate of the item detail window so that it follows the selected item better.
Adjusted the y coordinate of the item detail window so that its y position can never go below 0 to make sure the entire window is always inside the game window.
New generic prefix: Courageous (increase resistance against fear)
##########DEBUG######################
Fixed 2 typos in English localization.

########内容更新########################
修改了棒球棍的说明，使之更欢乐。（不会影响已经生成的物品。）

修复了两处英文文本中的通假字。

Welcome to another week's developer diary!
It is a quite busy week in the "normal" world.
There are investigations to do, people to sue, documents to file, fraud to expose, and kittens to pet. :D

But, let's go back to our supernatural business now. As it's a quite busy week, there is no real focus on the development schedule. However, a lot of things have been done.

First, more item prefixes have been added to the game.
The current list is as follow:
Sharp (causing bleeding.)
StatTrack (Basically, it will record how many creatures you have killed.)
Strong (Increase weapon's attack for a percentage.)
Feeble (Decrease weapon's attack for a percentage.)
Anti-human (Increase damage on human targets.)
Lockpicking (Increase lockpicking skill level.)
Mighty (Increase strength bonus on this item)
Defender's (Increase physical defense bonus on this item)
Warding (Increase magical defense bonus on this item)
Electroshock (Grant skill: Electrical Discharge)
Exorciser's (increase damage against ghost enemies)
Speedy (increase the item's speed bonus)
Accurate (Increase physical attack hit rate to counter high evasion enemies.)

You can also find the ever-expanding list here as I am making documents: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1519140/discussions/6/3046109410083823630/

Second, with the help of our fellow player 7.Ti, there are a few bug fixes and system optimization took place.
Some highlight includes:
1, An option to turn on/off an optimized version of the font rendering. In theory, it can make font rendering 100% faster than before.
2, Implementation of a graphics cache in most of the selection windows, including item selection windows, skill selection windows, buy/sell windows which can see a significant improvement in performance. However, although the equipment windows are also benefiting from this change, it is also affected by something else that needs further investigation to make the performance there even better.
Overall, it can usually provide a 50% to 75% performance improvement in most cases.
3, A few crash fixes. Some can not really be triggered in TtE yet. The reports are based on SAPC++. However, as TtE and SAPC++ share the same technical structures, some preempt fixes will likely benefit both.

Third, the zombie situation is getting worse in Queensmouth.
Not all zombies are slow, feeble, and clueless.
Some can be more devastating.

On the good side, you can bind new types of zombies under your command as well.
Stronger zombies can be harder to bind. Thus, you may want to weak them a bit first.

That's for this week. Stay safe and have fun!

Today's changlog:
#########Content#####################
A new type of zombie may now appear in Queensmouth. It has better attributions than normal zombies, with a small bullet damage resistance bonus. Can be turned into pets.
They also have a higher chasing speed if they detect you.
Reduced the number of zombies near the Queensmouth Church. But, increased the variations of zombies that may appear in this area.
Added one more possible prefix for baseball bat, pipe, police baton.
#########System#####################
Added localization text for physical/magical hit rate increases in item detail windows.
New generic prefix: Accurate (Increase physical attack hit rate to counter high evasion enemies.)
##########DEBUG######################
Fixed a rare crash that happens when all team members died at least once in the same battle without attacking any enemies after they are revived. (Thanks to 7.ti's bug report)
Fixed a Mod/DLC crash that the game may fail to find external graphics transition files. (Thanks to 7.ti's bug report)
Fixed a bug that the system option about whether to optimize the font rendering is not recorded into the configuration file. (Thanks to 7.ti's bug report)

#########Content#####################
Added 2 possible prefixes for baseball bat, pipe, police baton.
#########System#####################
Optimized the rendering speed when scrolling up/down in many selection windows. The item selection windows may benefit most from this optimization.
(Basically, it's a graphics cache to make sure no need to re-draw the entire window when scrolling)
Added a new game option to draw text without shadow so that the rendering speed is improved in many windows. (Default is OFF)
New prefix: Exorciser's (increase damage against ghost enemies)
New prefix: Speedy (increase the item's speed bonus)
##########DEBUG######################
Fixed a bug that in some cases an enemy that is supposed to do nothing will still use a basic attack.

########内容更新########################
棒球棍，水管，警棍现在可能有了两种新的前缀。
########系统改进#######################
优化了大量选项窗口中上下滚动窗口时窗口的渲染。 各类物品选择窗口将会在本次优化中获得最显著的收益。
（基本上，这是一个图像缓存，确保了在选项上下滑动时不需要重新绘制整个窗口。）
在系统设置中加入了不渲染文字阴影的选项，从而让一些窗口的运行效率可能有所提高。（默认关闭）
加入武器词缀：驱魔人的（增加对幽灵目标的伤害）
加入通用词缀：迅捷的（增加物品的速度奖励）
##########DEBUG######################
修复了当某些敌人应该什么都不做时仍然可能会进行攻击的BUG
