Crystal Project News

[h3]New feature:[/h3]

• Graphic Options have been simplified. Most options have been moved into the new Advanced Graphic Options submenu. The new Quality option can be used to automatically adjust Advanced Graphic Options to common useful presets.

[h3]Bug fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed issue where game objects could get improperly mixed up when applying multiple mods that introduce new models of the same type (would most commonly occur with new Monsters). This fix will not retroactively modify existing save data for mods that have already been applied.
  
• Fixed possible crash when interacting with a Crystal that didn't have a Crystal Name set on its corresponding class.
  
• Fixed IsPlayerGender NPC Condition to properly display gender list instead of item list.
  
• If Audio Engine has been set to NAudio and the game fails to start up because of it, it will now attempt to use the default Audio Engine instead of shutting down.
  
• Fixed delay when first selecting New Game or Continue when many mods are available.

[h3]New modding features:[/h3]

• Added new NPC Action Types: UnlockJob, UnlockPassive, LearnAbility, and LearnPassive.
  
• Added new Passive property: Default Locked. Use with UnlockPassive to have passives unlocked via NPCs.
  
• Added new Ability Mod: AddSpecificStatusCountUser. Renamed existing AddSpecificStatusCount to AddSpecificStatusCountTarget.

[h3]New features:[/h3]

• Added new option: Shared Input. Can be used to limit input to a single device.

[h3]New modding features:[/h3]

• It is now possible to add custom sprites. To add custom sprites, enable the "Has Custom Content" checkbox in the Project Model Mod tab. When image files are added to the listed folders, press the "Refresh Custom Content" button for the new images to be recognized by Crystal Edit. Only .png format is supported.
  
• It is now possible to add/edit Animations.
  
• Added new status property: Priority. Of all current applied statuses, only those with the highest Priority will be visually represented on the character's sprite.
  
• The player's current coord can now be optionally shown in-game on the map screen to help with placement of new/edited entities. To enable this feature, navigate to the following folder:

Windows: %USERPROFILE%/Saved Games/Crystal Project/
Linux/Steam Deck: ~/.local/share/Crystal Project/
Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Crystal Project/

And create a new text file here called "system.ini" (ie, a new file beside the other files such as settings.ini and graphics.ini). Paste the following into the new system.ini file:

[System]
ShowCurrentCoordinate=True

If the system.ini file already exists, append the following to the end of it:

ShowCurrentCoordinate=True
