v1.2: Anniversary patch! (Ability demos & new passive!)

It's been exactly one year since Kingsvein launched, so let's celebrate with a big new usability feature: ability demos! Now when you look at an ability in your class window, you get to see an example preview of it! There's also two new items and a new passive to play with, plus plenty of little bug fixes.

FEATURES

• New ability previews! Hover abilities in the class window to see a demonstration!

• New accessory, Shattered Heirloom, which

  powers up Defy Death

  , found in

  the Pale Ravine, but only for saves that haven't visited it yet

• New accessory, Lamprey Disc, which

  adds a debuff to shield attacks

  , found in

  the bottom of the Pale Ravine, but only for saves that haven't visited it yet

• New Titan passive, 'Full Power', which increases club, fist, and shield damage based on your HP

BALANCE

• Fanger's 'Whiplash' base range increased by +1

• Marksman's 'Backscatter' primary shot base damage is now always 100% instead of starting at 80%

• Reduced most Knight and Mystic base ability XP costs to improve early game pacing

• Slightly increased XP reward for defeating Wisps

• Slightly increased average starting XP

• Remir now starts with Brave learned

FIXES

• Advanced Tips section now mentions that damage always rounds up

• Fixed AI aiming Catalyze at empty tiles

• Fixed AI sometimes using the wrong weapon for their Counter

• Fixed NPCs being able to rank up Defy Death

• Fixed unnecessary delay when ending turn with Chilling Curse passive

• Fixed being able to cure Vixflies of their time limit

• Fixed tooltips not pointing at object

• Fixed Dendal saying his peaceful dialog when you attack after befriending him

MODDING

• Fixed procgen items with toMake=; creating 'blank' items

• Reverted extra, unnecessary fReq check on ItemReaction actions

• Converted Zone.actors to MyDictionary for better error detection

• AI now ignores ActorValueAffecters with forActEvalPurposesOnly

• Added 'flying' actorValue that allows airborne movement. (Does not have any visual change)

• Fonts can now be added. Place an .xnb font file in a mod folder and it will automatically be added. (NOTE: it is extremely finicky about the correct type of .xnb)

• Modded abilities default to having no preview demonstration, but can be given one using the format explained in c_actions_knight.txt

Thank you all for playing this weird little RPG this year - and thank you everyone who discussed, tested, modded, and helped others with Kingsvein! These patches wouldn't be possible without you!
