removedRift Wizard now loads and executes all mods in the mods folder- see the example for details. To run a mod, there must be a folder with a python script whos name is the same as the folder containing it- aka, mods/ExampleMod/ExampleMod.py.disabled will not be run, but if you rename ExampleMod.py.disabled to ExampleMod.py, it will be run. The modding system is still in beta, and I cant guarantee that I wont make huge backwards incompatible changes until it ships in December.
addedOutside of modding and source availability, there is only one minor change this week: Melting armor can now lower the resistane of physical immune enemies (it was weird that it ever couldn't)

Rift Wizards game directory now also contains the source code for the game. I mainly did this for a few reasons: 1) To make it easier for modders to figure out how to do anything 2) To allow users with non windows systems to run the game, albeit in a non supported way. 3) To let interested players scrape data for tools guides fansites ect.

Outside of modding and source availability, there is only one minor change this week: Melting armor can now lower the resistane of physical immune enemies (it was weird that it ever couldn't)

Enjoy! -Dylan
