Version 0.9.76
This is the second update. It's got some cool stuff that you have been asking for. I am focusing on "the fun stuff" for now, but I will begin to address the more technical issues that some of you have mentioned soon too.
[h3]Updated Features[/h3]
Torch Mechanics:
Torches work differently now. Lighting a torch will show it with a "*" like equipped armor and weapons. This torch can no longer be sold or placed in a chest, but it can be discarded (when you are not interfacing with a chest or trader) and that will put the torch out and remove it from your inventory. This is to support the stealth in darkness feature that was added to the last build. This places a natural limit on how many times you can turn the torch on and off.
Allies - Healing:
From the Allies panel, you can examine your allies, and heal them if they are wounded AND you have bandages available.
Allies - Inventory:
You can now trade freely with allies *in your party* and thy basically serve as extra inventory room now.
[h3]Fixes[/h3]
Sell Button:
When trading with an NPC the "Sell" button should now appear without having to switch between inventory screens.
Fleeing in the Overworld:
Previously the Flee command, when performed in the overworld, would have your character run to a place behind a big rock. This was set prior to the rock being there (I moved it) and it was intended that you would flee to the starting place in the stone circle of the Zoogs. After you set up a tent, your fleeing place will be the tent. It may still happen if you started your game prior to this update and have not yet found the tent. This is normal, the change will only effect new games.
Fleeing in Dungeons:
A couple players reported fleeing in a dungeon (Ghoul's Crag I believe) led them to a dark place under the level, where they could not escape from. As much as this sounds like a neat feature, I did not intend this. I was unable to reproduce it though, so I am not quite sure what's happening.
Please let me know if anyone experiences this again.
