[p]Fixed a TON of bugs reported on RPG Codex by Exiled Fool, including one that screwed up companion romances in Ch.4.[/p][p][/p][p]Also added a new ability for Ch.6 called Overclocking, which lets you hack Imprinted Gemcracks to make single-use spell gems for any of the 74 spells. Overclocked gemcracks still need a lot more testing, but I'll have screenies eventually.[/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]-All skill/ability checks for spells are now in spell scripts themselves.[/p][p]-New ability for Ch.6: Overclock Gemcrack (create a single-use spell gem).[/p][p]-New item: Dead Gemcrack (throwable item left over from Overclocked Gemcracks).[/p][p]-Fixed MAJOR bug that erased relationship reps in Ch.4+5 (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed bug that prevented crafting Stew with Naturalism ability (thanks to Macabre).[/p][p]-Fixed bug where scripts glitched out if night fell while Andresi read letter in Ch.2 (thanks to Macabre).[/p][p]-Fixed Leadership ability description to include passive dialogue options (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed bug that decreased respect by 99 in Jonoros dialogue in Ch.4 (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed blocked tiles above footholes in Mesali Camp in Ch.4 (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed bugs with Stringer and Sebastius romances in Ch.4 (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed purchasing mage contracts at War Table (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed obelisk next to Tevani Camp in Ch.4 (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Updated encyclopedia, Player's Manual, and Shrouded Arts.[/p]

[p]Minor patch that was already mostly uploaded. Just listing all the recent fixes here. Players have made it to Ch.4, but I don't think anyone's reached Ch.5 yet.[/p][p]Overall, there are fewer script bugs than I expected. That's probably because of the chapter system and the visible list of reputations. Also, I know how to use Notepad++ to search multiple files now, a tool that I did not utilize when I first started patching Brigand almost 9 years ago. I still sometimes fuck up the source code when I patch, unfortunately, but hopefully that phase of development is over.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Complete list of changes:[/p][p][/p][p]-Fixed major crash that happened after chickens were killed (thanks to Placeholder Name).[/p][p]-Fixed major bug where player would get "Noble" rep at end of Ch.2 instead of "Guard" (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed bug where storing items in rucksacks did not check for max load (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed double Stringer bug if he is imported into Ch.4 (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Fixed some dialogue inconsistencies in Ch.3 and Ch.4 (thanks to Exiled Fool).[/p][p]-Worked some more on Ch.6 maps (coming this April probably).[/p]
