Game Updated to v1.4_20241012

v1.4 (2024-10-12)

• fixed: bug where items couldn't be placed on / taken from ground if there was a text banner in front of party. In that case, the text banner was taking full control, even when the player didn't clicked on it to read the text, not allowing item handling

• Fixedfixedbug where the game window's camera perspective was always taking the current desktop resolution to compute its aspect ratio, leading to graphics output with great differences across different setups and also causing issues with cursor mapping. Now, a fixed ratio is always used, regardless the current resolution
• Adjustedfixedbug where a leather armor couldn't be equipped by a wizard, even though the character was allowed training in leather armor skill. Turned out that leather armor skill was needed the fix, to disable training for wizards, updated '7.5 List' on RULEBOOK.pdf as well (thanks @Dennis). In addition, a couple other cases were fixed as well (not allowing shield training/use for wizards etc.)

• fixed: bug where a warning shown that a door couldn't be opened during combat, but without actually clicking on lever / keyhole, just by hovering. Now a clicking is required to show that warning during combat, and also cursor is properly set to hand above the door's lever / keyhole area.

• fixed: bug where a character's advanced level caused the affected stats (level, hitpoints) to always showing up (brownish colors), even after player opening his character's stats screen. Issue was only shown when player was opening character's stats through clicking its portrait and 'toggled' again the same character by clicking the portrait again.

• Addedfixedbug where the racial languages (i.e. dwarvish) were shown in 'Skills' page for choosing, during character creation, although they would still be provided in the end (languages known). This also caused some confusing overwriting in the added skills, at least graphically, since skill insertion order is not preserved. Now, the racially added skills are only shown *after* character creation and not during character creation.

• fixed: bug where quest items could be sold in a general shop, breaking the game in most of times i.e. quests couldn't be completed. Now these items have a flag on them so the shop recognize them and wont show them on 'Sell' page.

• fixed: bug in game's engine (jolt3d!) that was crushing the game if bogus resolutions were given through the settings, for example bigger than desktop ones. Now, the game gracefully exits in such a case, along with an error in log.txt

• fixed: bug in game's engine (jolt3d!) where some animations (i.e. title string in game's menu) or entire content (credits/attributions) weren't working / showing up at all. Reason was that 'scissoring' (the functionality that hide/shows specific regions of pixels) wasn't working well in windowed/letterbox modes

• fixed: bug where 'morning star' and 'flail' weapons weren't usable by 'cleric' profession at all, regardless their 'bludgeon' expertise

• Addedaddeda demo is now available in the store, showing the first two areas of the game
• Adjustedaddedadditional content for 'Prelude' mode (early access content), 3 maps in total, following the events on 'Tomb of the Dreamer'. Be sure to restart the game as a number of things changed in save.dat file as well. (NOTE: content wasn't the focus on this update)

• added: window builds are now aware of DPI settings (i.e. 125% scaling) and won't be scaled if there's such a settings, not getting pixelated / blurred at all (playing at 100%, not scaled at all)

• added: small graphical improvements (gauntlets / helmets on ground)

• added: ability modifier is now showing up
