Big Stones now have durability so they can't stack, and they can be thrown if you have 10 Physique. Catapults can now be destroyed, and Nox Jellyfish now have improved AI (using the new objMobFindWater command). Added some new party dialogue to Ch.4 and fixed some minor bugs.

Fixed a major bug from a recent patch where party members would have leftover incapacitated flags on so you couldn't command them to move.

Finally, added some big stones and a catapult to the mines in Chapter 3 for fun.




Complete list of changes:

-Fixed rare bug where object incapacitated flag wouldn't get reset.
-Jellyfish can now fly over land, then return to water when combat ends.
-New script command: "objMobFindWater" to set destination to a nearby water tile.
-Big Stones now have durability (unstackable) and are throwable if you have 10 Physique.
-Catapults are now destructible (new destroyed sprite, updated Ch.4 story file).
-Destroying Wood Barrels and Doors now has 50% chance to create Wood Stick.
-Fixed Eberans not being hostile in Ch.3 (for real this time).
-Fixed Jellyfish animation frames that caused crash.
-Added Big Stones and Catapult to mines in Ch.3.
-New Loner reputation if you beat Ch.1 solo.
-Improved some party dialogue in Ch.4.
-More work on Ch.5, updated manuals.

You can now load catapults with cannon balls or thrown bombs if you have the Mechanics skill. This lets you lob a normal blast bomb across the entire battlefield.

Also, the Blinded status effect now cancels the benefits of Spotting and Infravision, and also adds a 50% chance to miss with all melee attacks, making it a much more severe condition.

Finally, the achievements file can no longer be edited with notepad.

Mostly I am working on Chapter 5 maps. I should have a playable demo for Patrons in about a week.
