Brigand: Oaxaca News

The HUD text was slowing the game way down, so I found a plugin with faster text commands. Unfortunately, it also makes Exclusive Mode unusable. I tested it out on two computers, but I need more feedback from other users to decide if it's worth it.

Also, I started using Quadrajet's custom Bella animation from the Nexus Mods page for PANAMA, and I threw in a bunch of new keywords for the (Ask) feature in OAXACA and NIGHTMARE.

Complete List of Changes:

SOURCE CODE:
-Greatly improved framerate by adding new DBP plugin for HUD text and combining inventory panel into one pic.

SCRIPTS:
-Added more ask keywords into OAXACA dialogue.

RESOURCES:
-Combined the 10 inventory squares into a single pic for faster framerate.
-(PANAMA) Used Quadrajet's improved Bella animations for holding a gun.

STORY FILES: (requires starting a new game)
-(PANAMA) Updated Bella's equipment angle for Quadrajet's improved animation.

Lots of fixes, big and little. Fixed a big problem with putting items on tabletops, also added a lot more books to read about lore. Improved abilities like Naturalism, which now allows you to bandage and cook meat at campfires or cauldrons (fuck I just realized I spelled it "couldrons" in the game, butt fuck it). There was also a big problem where only the first 20 status effects were dealt with in the game (there are now 22 and there can be 50 total).

Complete list of fixes:

DEMO 22:

-Added "if_reputation" script command.
-Added class descriptions in character creation, as well as starting items from Gorbo.
-Fixed problem with status effect indeces above 20 (now 50 status effects max).
-Fixed bug where selection box would appear after dialogue window closes.
-Fixed bug where red targeting indicators persisted after hitting ESC.
-Fixed the cook meat aspect of the Naturalism ability.
-Fixed minor problems with a lot of abilities.
-Tweaked pathfinding a bit (still shitty).
-Updated maps a bit and added more books.

DEMO 21:

-Added command: "storyFail", to fail main objective and disable saving.
-Killing either Salvio the Scorcher or Favius the Shirtless in Ch. 1 will fail the story.
-The Naturalism ability now lets you cook food, bandage wounds, and examine local flora and fauna.
-Replaced the Survivalist ability (Willpower) with Mind Over Matter.
-Fixed problem with death animations after unpausing.

P.S.: There will be a new Brigand update in a week or so.

Go grab the new Warlordocracy demo and tell me what you think. Lay into it.

DEMO 20:

-Added hotkeys.
-Added ability descriptions to training window.
-Added ability skill requirements (and script commands).
-Shortened some ability descriptions that were too long.
-Fixed sprite position reset when status effect changes.
-Fixed collision for town\tableLong2 object.
-Snakes and rats no longer block movement.
-Rolled back to old AI pathfinding.

There is now an Ultra game speed. Soon I'm gonna halve the game speed while keeping the 60 FPS framerate, just not now.

Also, there's a new Warlordocracy Demo up that adds a new map, a default skill training system (no more need for scripting each training option). Also fixed a couple AI bugs.

It's specifically the anti-ransomware feature in Malwarebytes, so you can just disable that. Otherwise your save files will get fucked up and you will waste your time.

Also, I am starting an online confessional booth, so you can tell me all of your darkest secrets to just, kinda, let them off your chest. Nothing to do with disabling your anti-ransomware, completely unrelated.

EDIT: Also, I'm going on a vacation for a couple weeks, then moving back to the city so I can get a job and get laid, so radio silence for a while. There will soon be another Brigand DLC, and also an updated Warlordocracy demo (the demo is on Steam now but it's still a little fucked up).
