Two more original tracks for Lockdell (day and night) from Sonic Kitchen! Also added some new voice sounds, fixed a few minor bugs, and added the "goto" script command and ability to set variables to in-game values (like I did with Brigand recently).

Also, new option when repairing weapons with the Smithing ability to use raw materials (iron or steel) to prevent max durability from degrading.




Complete list of changes:

-Replaced Lockdell.ogg and LockdellNight.ogg with original tracks from Sonic Kitchen!
-Fixed major bug with shock, burn, acid, and chill effects where "objEffNoParent" flag was preventing damage.
-Added new option when repairing with Smithing ability to use raw material and not decrease max durability.
-Added script command: "goto" (as well as script labels that end with a colon).

-New voice sounds: man15-18, woman15-18 (Mantios).

Finished all the gemcrack objects and sprites (21 total), but not all the scripts yet. So far there are 6 gemcracks you can find, containing a total of 18 spells. New option in settings to swap the mouse buttons, added some new texts to Ch.3 detailing some of the magic items, plus a LOT more little fixes.

Theme music has been updated again, thanks to Sonic Kitchen.

Flash effects now deal 5 heat damage (mostly just to make people retaliate when you flash bomb them). Party now fully heals when you take the caravan in Ch.1. Improved some Ch.1 maps and AI.

Next I'm gonna work on improving the framerate on the market maps in Ch.2.
