When you switch teammates in info screen, it now changes teammates in the game. Also, improved the poison/underwater sound effect and added a website link in the Main Menu settings.

I'm gonna resubmit Brigand to GOG after the Summer sale ends in mid July and I rack up some more reviews (it got rejected a few years back). If you haven't already, please upvote here:

Gonna go one more update in January so I can change the copyright date. Willing to hear any minor suggestions for that distant future date.

Complete list of changes:

SOURCE CODE:
-New option to visit laughingcoyote.net in Main Menu Settings.
-Changing teammate in character screen now changes teammate in game (same as changing inventory).
-Added suggestion in World Editor when trying to overwrite BRIGAND - OAXACA story to change name, copy assets folder, etc.

RESOURCES:
-Replaced poison/breath sound effect.
-(EXTRAS) Added Brigand Modding Guide.rtf to Docs folder in EXTRAS DLC.

Complete list of changes:

-Increased the size of transition arrow sprites.
-Added command: "mapCopy" (update Builder's Manual).
-Journal settings window now displays current weather and aim modifier.
-Loading a game from Journal Window now takes you to save folder automatically.
-Loading an object with SHIFT in world editor now takes you to object folder automatically.
-Fixed bug where "objStop" command wasn't working in collision scripts (transition arrow loops).
-Party members no longer teleport to blocked tiles on new maps (move to another adjacent tile).
-Dialogue windows with no object selected no longer changes camera position.
-Skeletons and zombies now have die scripts (play sound and drop bones).
-Added objects: signPlaque, bricks, statueJungle, tilesOld, bottleMoonlight.
-Added effects: fireMaul, shell, torrentacle (not used yet).
-Added tiles: upstairs, battlementsB.

Made interact the default command (talk, use, get). Now if you want to move over an item without obtaining it or move behind a door without opening it, you have to select the move command. Of course, you still only need to select the attack command if you want to bash objects or attack friendly characters.

Lots of other little fixes and new resources for upcoming chapters.

Complete list of changes:

-Interact is now the default command (first icon), updated tutorial.
-Fixed saving settings in INI file (logo music can now be turned off).
-Temporarily disabled SHIFT key in world editor for possible Linux compatibility.
-Removed descriptions from normal objects that cannot be examined (decreasing save file size).
-World Editor now selects mobiles in tile first, and objects set to draw priority "bottom" as last (like blood).
-Prowling ability can now be used during heavy storms (and light precipitation with 8 Cunning).
-Naturalism ability now lets you make rags with fine clothing.
-Added objects: wallDungeon, wallDungeonB, wallNobleC.
-Added music: peace4.ogg, frostgate.ogg.
-Replaced dog sprites with something bigger.
-Renamed some map tiles to be more organized.
-Updated Chapter 2 demo and Player's Manual.

Added mobile health condition and one status effect to tooltips (see screenshot below). Also fixed a bunch of little bugs like disease increasing your max health instead of decreasing it (don't know how that slipped by me). Also added a ton of new objects and sprites I'm using in Chapter 2.



Complete list of changes:

-Fixed bug with "Diseased" status affecting max health.
-Tooltips now show health condition and one status effects.
-Removed statusPossessed property and added statusNoTip (so status doesn't show up in tooltips unless above value).
-Made it so the "Hungry" status effect shows up in tooltips only when it reaches 50 (at 100 you start taking damage).
-Added new script booleans: "if_objHEPer" and "if_objMEPer" to test for percent of health and meta (related to max).
-Added objects: wallNobleB, fenceNoble, fenceNobleGate fountainBig, manorTower, frontSteps, postings, railings.
-Added objects: fungus, fungusBig, fungusHuge, fungusWall, planters, chimney2.
-Added items: skull, fork, bowl, mirror, dice, shoes, boots.
-Added tiles: roof, roof2, roof3, floor4.
-Added script for using hand mirror.
-Added snake attack sound effect.
-Cacti now only harm party members.
-Wasps now only deal 5 poison.
-Updated Builder's Manual.

Party AI setting is now displayed in upper left corner of screen ("off", "basic", or "advanced"). Commanding large amounts of characters will now give a different destination for each one, to a max of 25 selected characters. Choosing to attack the ground will have all selected characters choose a random hostile within 3 tiles of targeted tile. Also, changing party member attack targets now only resets the tile transition if it will help get the attacker closer to the target.

OK, now I'm just gonna focus on Chapter 2 story for a couple weeks. Still leaving early access in August.

Also improved framerate a bit.

-Party AI setting is displayed in upper left corner (important info).
-Improved framerate by removing unnecessary HUD redraws in source code.
-Attack the ground will now automatically choose random nearby hostiles.
-Different adjacent destinations for each selected party memeber (up to 25 selected destinations).
-Party members now reset tile transition when changing attack targets only if it keeps them closer to the new target.
