This month kept me a little busy after the discord meltdown, but that's been dealth with. Now back to the fields where naked orcs roam:
Aintzira's quest now brings him to the ogre burrow, previously intended for Celik. Old character profiles might not have an updated copy of his character on their savefiles, so he might load without one or two items that he will attempt to wear on his new lines. For now, I recommend using a brand new character to see this preview until backward compatibility is patched in.
Implemented MagicaCloth to better deal with cloth garments that were temporarily disabled some time ago.
Added the first two armored shield items, which can already be used to block incoming attacks.
Displaced severe and sudden framedrop issues that would lead to very jarring music de-syncs during cutscenes.
More work done to character pathfinding.
Reworked server packet broadcast while doing some isolated tests on players that kept having some bizarre connection issues, as well as trying to figure out what's going on with the constant server crashes.
Patch 0.84.1
Fixed locked options screen issue.
Fixed cave endings missing.
Aintzira's profile should now autocheck for his newer items.
Added top hat item.
Shield item pickups moved to the Inn, appearing now as props on the wall.
Patch 0.84.2
Fixed issues where Aintzira would speak as if he already traveled to the Outback, if players attempt to speak to him right after he tries to walk out of the Moraine but ends his walking state earlier than the player leaving.
Levi's tower scroll quest now features entries in quest helper. Furthermore, Eve's curse icon will show alternate and hazier text, keeping the growth UI from appearing until Levi gives a proper explanation about his brother's craft.
Shields now appear on the character's back while not in attack mode, and will wear them on their left arm otherwise.
Added shinobi greaves item.
Options to disable tattoo and buildings online are now available, and network code has been updated to allow this.
