SAELIG News

Me again,

I quick update to push live some things I did after yesterday's update.

• Add small chest with an inventory to your camp.
  
• Camps are now saved.
  
• You can now dismantle your camp.
  
• If you setup a camp when you already have one your previous one will be moved to the new spot, along with the inventory of your camp chest.
  
• You can now interact with the church when viewing inside it.
  
• You can now right click to buy horses and dogs.
  
• Now if you press the warp button and you don’t have anything selected the camera will warp to the player and select them.
  
• When you select an item to trade, the tooltip will now be disabled on the trading item so it doesn't get in the way.
  
• You can now name carts whatever you like.
  
• Changed it so when you rent a town owned home it will be reserved for you to buy at any time. This does not apply to homes owned by other characters.
  
• Fixed FPS limit not working correctly.
  
• Refinements to minsters, beggars, and thieves.
  
• After yesterdays tweak to how storefronts work (upgrade with the main inventory) - I have fixed it so that loading in from a previous version of the game will match the storefront to the inventory of the building.
  
• Fixed some typos.
  
• More tooltips.
  

More stuff to come.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.
