[p]Thank you to Ez Old Men Ch Localization Team for the Chinese translation of Brigand: Oaxaca and EVERY DLC. I'm releasing the translation early because it's completely done other than the final BATTLES map that was added recently, and I'll patch again when that is finished.[/p][p]Also added a new "charset" command to the beginning of all the story files that changes language automatically, so you don't have to do it in the launcher anymore.[/p][p]Fast travel like the Humvee and Rowboat now take one hour of game time, and the original X filetypes for 3D models have been re-included in the EXTRAS DLC for modders (but not all the alt textures).[/p][p]In about 1 week I'll announce another mod contest.[/p][p][/p][p]Steam:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]SOURCE:[/p][p]-Added new script command: "charset" (changes charset automatically for translated stories).[/p][p][/p][p]SCRIPTS:[/p][p]-Included "charset" command in all translation scripts so you don't have to set it in launcher manually.[/p][p]-Using the Humvee and rowboat now takes an hour (like normal travelling).[/p][p][/p][p]RESOURCES:[/p][p]-(EXTRAS) Added Chinese script translations for all stories (thanks to EZ Old Men CH Localization Team).[/p][p]-(EXTRAS) Included links to all mod contest submissions in EXTRAS Stuff folder.[/p][p]-(EXTRAS) Re-included all the X object formats in EXTRAS DLC for modders.[/p][p]-Updated Builder's Manual.[/p][p][/p][p]STORY FILES: (requires starting a new game)[/p][p]-Added Chinese story translations for all stories (thanks to EZ Old Men CH Localization Team).[/p]

[p]Fixed two HUGE bugs. One was from a recent patch that was causing occasional crashes due to combat abilities skipping a couple animations frames (so it looks better with targeting auto-pause).[/p][p]I have no idea when the other bug started, but it prevented party members who were not the main character from initiating dialogue. You were always supposed to be able to use your other party members to talk to people and use their persuasion abilities. Just a handful of characters are supposed to refuse speaking to anyone but the party leader. Also fixed a couple other minor bugs.[/p][p]Added another 7 persuasion opportunities to Chapters 4+5, as well as status effect tutorials to Ch.1.[/p][p]Finally, I watched the new Deathstalker movie recently with Patton Oswalt, and there was a plant monster that absorbed arrows and shot them back out, so now that happens with Shamblers (plant monsters in Ch.3).[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]-Added another 7 persuasion opportunities to Ch.4+5.[/p][p]-Added quick tutorial messages for common status effects in Ch.1.[/p][p]-Fixed major bug where party members who were not main character could not initiate dialogue.[/p][p]-Fixed major recent bug with "objAttacK" command that caused crash (skipping first couple frames).[/p][p]-Shamblers now absorb arrows shot at them and shoot them back at you.[/p][p]-Fixed bug in Ch.5 sewer maps where some baddies started out Berserk.[/p][p]-Smoke from cauldrons in Ugliest Pony Inn no longer causes blindness.[/p][p]-Fixed Ch.5 Battle of Jadenbury AI script pathfinding.[/p]
