addedNEW FEATURES
addedImproved Spectator MenuPlayers can now access spectator mode at the pause menu. This will undeploy the player. If you wish to join the fray again, click Play on the spectator panel. Assuming "Allow Late Join" is enabled in settings, the player will deploy instantly, otherwise they will be deployed in the next peacetime interval.
addedMap Cycle ListYou can now add levels into the map cycle list. This list will also be used to switch to a new map from the Spectator Menu, so add the ones you wish to switch between in your server.
changedMod SupportThis was originally planned in this release, however that proved to be too ambitious to work on, especially when we are still not convinced enough players will care for the game enough to justify it, so we moved it to post-release. We will only work on it, if and when we can see reasonable player activity in the game. A good (but not the sole) indicator for us if the game unlocks the ability to use trading cards.
addedMod SupportIMPORTANT: FOR EARLY-ACCESS OWNERS A LOT has changed since the overhaul. You will have to reinstall your game for the latest changes to take effect. The new installation folder changed from "Maze Qore Arena" to "Qorena". Mannequin saves may also break so be sure to back those up before you uninstall and reinstall. _______________
