Notes:

Custom Meshes in Sandbox Multiplayer - To avoid mismatches between players that can affect collision detection and cause other inconsistent environmental conditions, certain custom meshes have generally not been supported in multiplayer mode. This update enables support for such custom meshes while in the sandbox multiplayer mode. This allows players who want to link together with certain custom meshes to be able to connect in multiplayer. Mismatches can occur, so players will need to install the same custom files/workshop items if they want consistent conditions. If a mismatch occurs, a notice and names of affected players will be displayed in the message log as an alert.

Custom Prices, Levels, and Specifications in Sandbox Mode - Certain core baseline values can now be changed for the sandbox mode to change parameters such as pricing, damage, and ship specifications. The adjustable parameters are for values that are generally distinct from those subject to other internal alteration by gameplay and/or sandbox commands. So most are baseline values from which additional factors are often applied or calculated. Other values can often be compensated for or otherwise adjusted via sandbox commands. Details for changeable values are available in a sample file available in the customizing kit: https://starwraith.com/evochronlegacy/customkitse/readme.htm#505

Cockpit Reloading/Rebuilding for Workshop Items - When selecting workshop items that include custom cockpit textures and/or meshes, the game now completely rebuilds all elements via the sequences and procedures required for various launch/startup processes as well as in-game operations (including light maps, custom displays, HUD settings, and custom parameters). This eliminates the need for a full relaunch from the main menu to reset everything. The full rebuild process takes a little longer, but generally only by a few seconds. An alert notice when the rebuilding process occurs has also been added for indication.

Verification Step When Selling Stored Ship Frames - A verification prompt is now presented when clicking the 'Sell' option for a frame stored in a station hangar. In case of accidental click, the 'Cancel' button can be used to prevent selling the frame. The selling price is also now displayed in the verification prompt.
