Beta 14.5.6 - Controller and Localization Fixes (and map update!)

Today's update includes some more fixes to issues related to controller, keyboard, and localization. I also have some map update progress to share too!
  • Fixed a bug that caused sliders to not function using a controller
  • Fixed a collision bug on Orc Island
  • Fixed a bug that could freeze the game after rebinding controller buttons
  • Fixed a bug that caused some buttons to not properly get remapped
  • Updated the button icon system to correctly display PS4 buttons
  • Added the button mapping text to the localization system
  • Added the "Monsters Left: " text to the localization system
  • Fixed a bug with the localization for obsidian
  • Fixed a bug with the localization for trying to place an Archer Tower notification
  • Fixed a bug that caused some Orcs "Quest" button to not localize.
  • Fixed a bug that caused empty character equip slots to display the pop-up UI
  • Fixed a bug with key mapping for Quickslot 2 and for Jump actions

I've also made some great progress on the new map system, but I've also added more features to it so it is taking a bit longer than expected.



In the above gif you can see the mouse-over text working as well as new markers appearing when I have quests. The character marker matching your character's facing is also in.

I have to hook up a few more things for the map, including the remaining quests and a system to add a marker for a quest and then make it permanent - for example, when you first get the quest to meet Grrrumble you'll get a quest marker for his location. But after that, a permanent marker is placed at his location since you've met him. There are a few other instances like this, such as Shaydee's Shop and the Magic Pool.

I also need to add controller support for the markers (so you can see their pop-up text) which will be a bit tricky, but should fit within the existing controller system. The sorting of things that you mouse over also needs some more work - you can see this is in the gif when I mouse over the town marker, the player marker gets hidden behind it. So, still some work to do, but I'm really happy with it and I think it'll make a good addition to the game once it's done!
