[p]Fixed a bug from a recent patch where character pathfinding was being recalculated every 2 seconds and screwing up direct diagonal paths. This probably increased framerate slightly also.[/p][p]Also added two new baddies for Ch.6: Dire Wolf and Winter Wolf, as well as some snow tiles. Replaced an annoying sound effect and added some new ones. Also added some animation effects for Defensive Stance and Mad Dash.[/p][p]I'll work on improving framerate some more in the next patch.[/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]-Fixed bug where pathing were being recalculated every 2 seconds for no reason.[/p][p]-New baddies for Ch.6: Dire Wolf, Winter Wolf (with sprites, sounds, and scripts).[/p][p]-Bonus sound no longer plays automatically when skills increase (must be played in script).[/p][p]-Replaced bonus.wav sound with something less annoying, decreased volume of select.wav.[/p][p]-New sound effects: defend.wav, madDash.wav, and focus.wav.[/p][p]-New animation effect objects: defend, madDash.[/p][p]-Started adding snow tiles for Ch.6.[/p]

[p]Throwing bombs now has a short delay, and displays a highly-visible crosshair on the targeted tile, giving the player a tiny opportunity to change course. Incoming artillery now also shows a crosshair, but it takes much longer to hit than throwing bombs. Also fixed a bug where missiles and thrown object sprites would disappear on pause.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]New achievement for swimming between Moonshade and Berindal's Refuge (now 70 total). Some status effects (like hunger) will now not display a message until it is above a certain level. Players were getting confused by the hunger messages immediately after eating food.[/p][p]Finally, ranged attacks from low ground now deal 25% less damage. Should be one more patch on Sunday or Monday that finalizes dialogue, then I will start on Ch.6 (for real this time).[/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]-Bombs now have a short delay before detonation (shorter than artillery).[/p][p]-Added new achievement: Driftwood (swim from Moonshade to Berindal's Refuge).[/p][p]-Status effect messages and visuals don't appear until it rises above statusNoTip level.[/p][p]-Increased efficiency of status effect checks, possibly improving framerate.[/p][p]-Missile sprites like arrows and thrown objects are now shaded correctly.[/p][p]-Fixed bug where pausing game would make all flying missiles disappear.[/p][p]-Artillery and bomb shadow sprites now have highly-visible targets.[/p][p]-Fixed bug where "make" command would reset default object.[/p][p]-Ranged attacks from low ground now deal 25% less damage.[/p][p]-AI now stops advancing briefly when it throws a bomb.[/p]
