New

• Bestiary
  The bestiary is a collection of status information on enemy combatants.

  The ‘Bestiary Settings’ are defined in ‘Game > Game Settings’.

  Displays information on bestiary entries using HUD elements.
  The bestiary entries are separated by areas and area types in which they’ve been encountered.

  ‘Add To Bestiary’ step available.
  Adds an entry to the bestiary – uses either an event object’s combatant or a defined combatant.

  Removes an entry from the bestiary – uses either an event object’s combatant or a defined combatant.
• Event System: Bestiary Steps

• Event System: Bestiary Steps
  ‘Bestiary Dialogue’ step available.
  Displays a dialogue with information on a combatant’s bestiary entry using HUD elements.
  Uses either an event object’s combatant or a defined combatant, if no combatant or bestiary entry was found, the dialogue is skipped.
• Combatants
  ‘Not Scanable’ setting available.
  The combatant wont add information to the bestiary, only an empty entry without status information will be made.
• Combatants
  ‘No Bestiary Entry’ setting available.
  The combatant wont add an entry to the bestiary at all.
• Abilities, Items

  The target will be added with a complete entry to the bestiary.
  Only possible if the user is part of the player group and target is an enemy.
• Save Game Menu

  If enabled, the learned enemy combatant information will be saved.
  By default enabled.

  You can now also use items, weapons, armors and currency as costs for learning abilities or increasing status values.
• Menu Settings: Use Cost Display
  ‘Item Cost’, ‘Weapon Cost’, ‘Armor Cost’ and ‘Currency Cost’ settings available.
  Also, all use cost settings can now use %i to display icons.
• Images
  All image settings can now also use alpha masks when using colors instead of images.
• Value Bars
  ‘Crop Image’ setting available for all Value bars (e.g. for status values) with scale mode ‘Stretch to Fill’ or using alpha masks.
  If enabled, the image will use the whole bar’s bounds for scaling, but crop the parts of the image that exceed the filling (e.g. 50 % filling will only display half of the image).

  Checks the number of found targets and executes ‘Success’ or ‘Failed’ next step.

  The ‘Accept’ input key (and ‘Ok’ button) can optionally be used to change to the next page.
• Editor

  Creates a new HUD from the defined HUD elements of the page/layout and uses the HUD instead.

 

Changes

• Item Collectors
  ‘Destroy Collected’ setting is now ‘Destroy Collected Object’ and also available for item collectors not using scene ID.
  Warning: This will reset the setting on all item collectors to enabled.

 

Fixes

• GUI Editor
  The WYSIWYG GUI editor is again working correctly with all GUI settings.
• Event System: Status Steps
  Using ‘Level Up’ to level up the base or class level now also works when no experience status value is set to level up base/class levels.
• Player Group
  Unspawned members of the player group didn’t get updated properly, leading to equipment changes not adding bonuses, etc.
