Brigand: Oaxaca News

Fixed a few bugs over the last 10 days, and finally improved the underwater bubbles animation just now. Posting patch notes for the sake of record-keeping. Final patch of all time.

Complete list of changes:

SOURCE CODE:
-"Damage" command now cancels source object if source and target are both player faction (fixes starvation damage bug).

SCRIPTS:
-Fixed Acidic Corrosion causing Ricardo's dialogue to reset.
-Fixed bug where Ramirez would crap out when you try to buy radiation pills.
-(NIGHTMARE) Fixed fishing rod script in NIGHTMARE story that caused Ricardo's dialogue to reset.

Uploaded a new Patron-exclusive challenge map: Turkey Terror. You are Gorbo the cook, and you must stab, blast, or roast your way through 40 killer turkeys or get jived to death. Gonna add another real story to Patreon Stories this Sunday, hopefully: Horror at Fortune Isle.

New script command lets you copy maps from different story files. Now you can use maps from the main stories in your own mods. Using the F2 editor you can type "copyMapFrom=Brigand - Oaxaca,2" to copy the 2nd map from the Oaxaca story to overwrite the current map (Freeway 175).

Made it so the "shoot" command will automatically rotate the character to it's target instantly if optional parameter is set to 1, for long-range sniping in AI scripts (again, for modders).

Fixed a couple other bugs, including some major script bugs reported by Skeleport (I think they're fixed). Also Smashzone fixed the UV modding on an unused model for modders to use (building5).

A couple people on Discord are posting screenies of their mods:
