Changelog (Elona+)/1.80 - 1.89

1.89

4/20/2019

[Changes and additions]

• Increased the amount of experience player characters get from eating food so that they get the same amount as NPCs (i.e. it is now 5x what it was in previous versions).
  • This adjustment was made after considering the cost of increasing potentials and the difference in experience gained for doing things. After all, if there's too much of an attribute gap between [pets] and player characters, it would make more sense to leave all the fighting to them.

• Added 1 new item and its item fusion recipe.

• Added 4 more options to register-type items on the ranch.

• Increased the number of produce generated on the ranch per day, and decreased the limit on maximum amount of produce so that ranches can only accumulate up to 30 days' worth of produce.
  • This makes it worth checking in once a month instead of just letting it run even if you don't micromanage the ranch animals.
  • With this, benefits of the ranch are reduced when fast-forwarding time, and it won't be exploding with produce when skipping 3 years into the future.

• NPC sprites will now shrink when they are given cursed milk, up to a maximum of 5 times. (Won't work with animated sprites.)
  • They will appear normal-sized on their character sheet and in the conversation window.
  • When given milk while their satiety is below a certain threshold, their sprite size will recover from shrinkage by 1 size. Blessed milk recovers it by 2 sizes.
  • Sprites will not increase beyond their original size.
  • Ranch animals will have their master/servant relationship and Impress increased when their size increases, and decreased when they shrink.
  • Alchemical Rain will no longer work with milk.

• Newborn ranch animals are now 0 years old when generated, even for NPCs like old person.
  • Their sprite will also start out shrunken by 5 sizes. This has no effect on their weight and height stats [on their character sheet].
  • Existing ranch animals from a previous version's save file will be shrunken by 5 sizes when the player character enters the ranch after updating the game.
  • Shrunken ranch animals cannot be milked by Squeezing them. There is no difference in their rate of egg and milk generation [when compared to adult ranch animals] though.

• Throwing milk at ranch animals is no longer considered an attack on them.

• Satiety of ranch animals will now decrease when generating animal produce. Their satiety will not decrease below a certain value.

• The +enhance value of ranch animal corpse, skin, and milk (from Squeezing) now has a new +0 to +5 modifier dependent on their sprite size. This is on top of the existing modifier for how much they were Rubbed.
  • Decreased the random variation in +enhance value of animal produce to less than half of what it was in previous versions.

• The conversation window will now have the NPC's current size. Will display only for those with a shrunken sprite.

• You can now talk to ranch animals - they no longer ignore you. The conversation window for them will now also display servant-master relationship and anniversary date.

• Live ranch animals can now be offered to god via a conversation window option.
  • Favor increase is dependent on meat quality, and Faith skill experience awarded is dependent on Impress. Animal weight has no effect, meaning that light animals are no longer less useful for increasing favor.
  • Does not increase prayer charge.

• Ranch animals can now be taught tricks via the conversation window using any item of your choice and with some Attract.
  • Gives a slight amount of Perception experience for both the player character and the ranch animal, and increases servant-master relationship.
  • Also useful for getting rid of unwanted items.

• Rubbing ranch animals will now increase their Impress. Impress will increase even when corpse quality has been maxed out.
  • Also removed the wait while Rubbing to make things go faster.

• The breeder on a ranch can now be Rubbed - even if they were already recently Rubbed.
  • Animals that have been Rubbed will now sparkle until they are ready to be brushed again.
  • The higher their meat quality, the brighter the sparkling.

• Rebalanced the selling price and weight of corpses and eggs so that the amount they fetch is roughly in a 5:1 ratio.
  • Just so that culling ranch animals for their meat is still a viable option.
  • Also reduced the variation in selling price due to weight.
  • Lighter corpses will now fetch a decent price, and heavy eggs will no longer have an anomalously high selling price.

• Rebalanced the weight of shit and monster parts to a roughly 3:1 ratio. Both are now lighter.
  • Reduced the variation in price due to weight for shit.

• Pets sold to slave masters will now fetch a higher price depending on their servant/master relationship and Impress.

• Every ranch animal now has a 0.01% of getting a low-strength Sick status whenever the ranch is refreshed.
  • This chance increases by 1% for every shit left on the map, and 5% for every sick ranch animal.
  • They won't get Sick if they are under the effect of a previous disinfect, so disinfecting the ranch is important. That said, just keeping the ranch clean is enough to completely prevent the animals from getting Sick.
  • When the animals are Sick, they will become Poisoned and produce a lot more shit.
  • If you can't cure their Sickness, you may want to cull them or take them out for quarantine.

• Updated the ranch manual.

• Corpses obtained on a certain map in Act III will no longer have any special effects when eaten [like gaining resistances]. Human flesh will still behave as such though.

• Bio printers will now yield corpses as well. Their price is fixed, however, and will have no special effects when eaten. Human flesh will still behave as such.
  • Greatly reduced the weight of bio printers.

• The distance multiplier for throwing kunai is now the same as that for tomahawk.
  • Changed the intrinsic equipment attribute of kunai to improve your Stealth, Mining, Detection, and Carpentry.
  • The equipment attribute strength displays as # but the actual value is 1/4 those of other weapons.

• High potion of soma now heals all status ailments and completely cures Sickness as well.
  • High potion of nektar now completely cures anorexia. Made a slight change to the description.
  • Nektar now resets the number of times vomited so that you can't vomit while drunk and get anorexic again.

• Mimic-type monsters no longer have their power gauge, emoticon, and shadow beneath them displayed.
  • Those will be displayed only for mimic pets.

[Fixes]

• Fixed pets automatically switching themselves to Talking mode instead of Onslaught in the pet arena. Pets who were already set to Talking mode will remain in it.

• Fixed not being able to make snow mans from handfuls of snow.

• Fixed the hot spring tiles in The smoke and pipe so that they reduce insanity.

• Fixed lizardman NPCs spawning in Cemetery-type instead of Fort-type random Nefia.

• Fixed the log glitching up when a piece of equipment of lower than Miracle quality procs interlocking shooting mechanism or proximity assist weapon.

• Bio battery will now also prevent cursed potions of slow from changing weight.

1.89: detailed changelog

[New item]

• disinfectant
  • A potion. Can be made with an item fusion recipe of the same name, but also rarely randomly generated.
  • Reduces the strength of Sick and Poisoned status ailments. Effect is increased when blessed, and decreased when cursed. (It still won't make you Sick or Poisoned though.)
  • It will also confer a new Disinfection buff that negates the attribute debuffs from Touch of Weakness, Formless Fetter, and Aromageddon, and also prevents you from getting Poisoned.
  • The number of turns of Disinfection buff is not affected by the cursed/blessed status of the disinfectant potion.
  • It will prevent ranch animals from randomly getting sick, but it will not prevent any Sickness that spreads from within, such as from having a little tail and cursed potions.

[New options available on registers on the ranch]

• Consume livestock feed
  • [Feed animals]. Requires livestock feed. Ranch animals will crowd around you.
  • Servant-master relationship of all ranch animals increase.
  • Weight increases by 0-5kg depending on the animal's saturation.
  • Unlike when using livestock feed directly on a ranch animal, this increase is independent of the animal's weight and the +enhance value of the livestock feed.

• Consume disinfectant
  • [Disinfect area]. Needs the aforementioned disinfectant. Increases Impress of all ranch animals.
  • Alleviates Poisoned and Sick status of ranch animals by an amount dependent on cursed/blessed status of the potion.
  • Amount of poison/sickness recovered is half of that when using a disinfectant directly on one ranch animal, and it also lasts for 1/5 as many turns.

• Activate breeding-prevent code
  • When active, ranch animals will no longer breed.

• Activate production-prevent code
  • When active, no eggs, milk, and not even shit, garbage, and animal bone will be generated.

1.88R

3/18/2019

[Changes and additions]

• Added 5 wide-area special actions that will resolve conflicts with speech.
  • The Negotiator feats will now grant these instead.
  • Makes roleplaying as a character who resolves problems peacefully via conversation, jokes, and song possible.
  • Flavor text displayed when used can be customized by altering %txtBtalk.
  • A completely pacifist playthrough will be difficult, so you may have to pick your enemies carefully or just settle for playing support [for your pets].

• Added Talking mode to Directive and command flag.
  • Like in Intercept mode, NPCs in Negotiation mode will try to remain within your range of sight.
  • Out of the aforementioned Negotiator wide-area special actions, they will repeatedly use the one that they have the highest attribute for.
  • For creating support characters and non-combat personnel pets.

• Collected Power special action now also recovers 5% SP.

• Added 4 new items.

• Added 15 new weapons types.
  • Gauge attacks will work with these, but the ability to craft them and use equip update on them has yet to be implemented.
  • Added 2 more rows to item.bmp for their sprites and for future content.

• Changed the description of some existing weapon types.

• [Reduced] the spawn rate and selling price of some existing weapon types. Weapons that were generated in previous versions of the game will not be affected.

• Changed the <Beast Sickle>'s sprite. Does not affect copies of the artifact that were generated in previous versions of the game.

• <Frisia's Tail> is now a stave instead of a scythe. Does not affect copies of the artifact that were generated in previous versions of the game.
  • It procs Decapitation, but it looks like a staff and the description also says it's one. Just so that it's not too similar to the Beast Sickle.

• Buffed the distance modifier for all throwing weapons except for <Nightmare> to 09-10-08-07.

• Added 1 new item fusion recipe.

• Kills by non-pet NPCs no longer contribute to the kill counter.

• Damage dealt by juice made with Hazard Recipe will now be considered an attack by the player even if the NPC drinks it of his own volition.

• Deaths by Psychic Wave, getting gouged out by chestnuts, and getting hit by the hard edge of a block of tofu are now considered kills, not accidents. They will now award AP accordingly just like other kills.

• When chestnuts hit a target, they will now deal a random amount of Throwing skill-dependent non-elemental damage before dealing cut-element damage.
  • Reduced the cut-element damage dealt by about half.

• The accuracy multiplier is now 2x regardless of distance for characters buffed by Shooting Mode.

• The power gauge is now displayed albeit greyed out for NPCs who are unable to use gauge attacks.

• NPCs who use Pressure special action in their default combat mode and NPCs who use Disturbance when in Defense mode will no longer waste it on enemies who can't use gauge attacks.

• Added some alternative texts to objet of heart and made them usable on non-pet NPCs. For determining the weak point of enemies and such.

• Equipment that weighs less than 0.1s can now be lightened at the blacksmith.
  • If the resulting weight is less than 0.01s, it will be rounded off to 0.01s. (It will display as 0.0s.)
  • This is because the critical chance multiplier for weapon and ammo lightness maxes out at 0.01s.

• Inn shops now have a low chance of stocking coffee, cola, mugi tea, green tea, black tea, and juice.

• Choosing to decrease stats at the Oblivion Palace will no longer decrease the selected character's level.

• When entering a map after updating the game from a previous version [to this version], all constructed shelters on all maps will be deconstructed. This will happen only once.
  • Apparently there are people who leave toilets in shelters, so one toilet will be provided when updating the game.

• Players can now choose to continue playing when dead in Purge mode. Use of this feature is completely optional.
  • The number of remaining lives you get can be changed at the Devil Cape. The choices available are 0 (default), 3, 9, 20, and 99 lives.
  • When dying with at least 1 remaining life, the player character will revive on the spot and recover from all status ailments.
  • In addition to that, the player character will also become invulnerable for 3 turns. This should be enough for the player character to pull himself together and continue the fight, as long as there isn't too much of a power difference.
  • Number of remaining lives is displayed on the character sheet beside the portrait.
  • Changing the [maximum] number of remaining lives will set the number of remaining lives to that number, no matter how many remaining lives there were.
  • For players who don't want to be kept on their toes by accidental deaths and are fine with zombie-attacking enemies.

• Lowered the default experience multiplier for overdose mode to 3x. This is adjustable at the Devil Cape. Pick from a list that ranges from a modest value to an extreme one - 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x, and 30x.

• Set potential decreases in overdose and purge modes to a fixed -5%, i.e. independent of current potential. Now you can level up even faster. Yay.

[Fixes]

• None.

• 41 new map tiles.

• Added a "highest enemy level defeated" to pets' character sheet. It's like the deepest dungeon floor cleared stat, but separate for each of your pets.
  • For use as a reference in determining how strong your pets are.
• 1 new unique artifact available for exchange with music tickets.

  • At +15 enhance, they will train 3 times as much as the rare herbs.
  • This is to balance out the fact that "herb in" food from item fusion trains 9 attributes at a go, while tobacco products have a drawback even though you can make 4 at a time.
• Removed sleepiness reduction from coffee and tobacco products.
  • Made them prevent the player character from taking a nap on the world map a certain number of times instead (15 to 25 for coffee, 3 to 5 for tobacco).

• Changed the mechanic where NPCs had their power gauge increased by 15% if they did nothing during their turn while in combat.

  • Does damage in a bolt spell AOE but will not hit friendly NPCs.

1.86

1/5/2019

[Changes and additions]

• Added more than 100 new map tiles as part of recreating [Etherwind's] content and maps. Placeholder tiles in Zaile have been replaced. (For save files from previous versions, the change will be applied the next time the map gets refreshed.)
• Added a new feature to house boards and [registers] that allows you to "Change tile group" for your properties.
  • With this, you can make your properties look like the world map or mansion of younger sister.
  • The selection of tiles available in design mode has also been changed.
  • Hot springs can now be placed, but they will now only have an effect in Larna and Arcbelc.
• Added a new item that lets you move your constructed deeds to another tile with their interior intact. With a bit of effort, they can also move properties to another continent. These can be bought at places like the embassy for cheap.
• Danger level of shelter maps, which depends on their serial number, will now loop from 5 to 50. This affects existing shelter maps. When the danger level loops, the newly constructed shelter map will get reset [as well as any other shelter map that shares that danger level]. This means that you can have up to 46 different shelters, but upon exceeding that by constructing and removing more shelters, their contents will start disappearing.
• Added the option to remove all shopkeeper feats from a character. Available at a certain character in South Tyris. Sales exp doesn't get reset, so feats can be re-learned easily.
• Added the option to remove all equipment attributes and Exp from a living weapon. Available at a certain character in South Tyris.
  • If that weapon has any +enhance value that is 1 or greater, that value is also reset to 0.
  • Acidproofing and fireproofing are not equipment attributes, so those will not get removed.
  • Be careful, because ALL equipment attributes will get removed, including those that were generated based on your luck, those inherent to the weapon type, and those inherent to the weapon's material.
• When interacting with your player character while riding, you can now choose between interacting with the player character or with the steed. You no longer have to get off and get on your horse to do things.
• Changed the damage calculation for Unison Impact special action.
  • It no longer adds the skill levels for your entire party then uses the sum to calculate damage.
  • Instead, it calculates the damage for every individual member, then sums that damage and applies it.
  • This reduces the difference in amount of damage you can deal with Unison Impact and with Gauge Release attacks at maximum power gauge for all members.
• Quaffing juice made from food modified by the Hazard Recipe will now deal mind damage dependent on the player's Gene engineer skill level.
  • Unlike eating (Danger!) food, juice made this way will also retain their original effects [such as giving attribute experience]. One special blend, coming right up!
• Made it possible to use potions as a tool aside from quaffing them. This will throw the potion on yourself, skipping the need to target the tile you are standing on. This is for when you want to increase your hydration level by just a bit.
• Added potion of weakness to type II potion throwing.
• Implemented a maximum and minimum cap on the amount of time passed per turn.
• Made it possible to use items set as no-drop as an item mark.
• Doubled the player character's resistance to brainwashing.
• Increased the resistance to insanity conferred by drunk status and the unique NPC bonuses.
• Made dark fragments awarded from town board quests generate unblessed and uncursed.
• The gum remnant generated after eating chewing gum or gum remnant will now go directly into a character's inventory if there is sufficient space in it.
• NPCs will no longer eat food thrown at them when they are asleep or unconscious.
• Made audience members with the escort bit flag in an Act III sub quest immune to domination. Enemies in this sub quest can still be dominated.

[Fixes]

• Fixed some descriptions.
• Fixed the crash that occurred when selecting the item mark option in the English version.
• Fixed the Tag Force buff's brainwash resistance not working for the player.
• Fixed the pet arena counter not getting reset after every match, causing it to keep counting until a loss or until [the player] moves a step.
• Fixed the crash from vanilla Elona that occurred when the game window is set to 1152 x 864, the cursor is placed on the top right corner of the window in Design mode, and then the left cursor key is pressed to cause the view to scroll to the side.

1.86: detailed changelog

[New item]

• deed of property transfer deed
  • Read it inside the property that you want to move, then read it again on the world map at where you want to move it to.
  • After reading a deed inside a property, you can read it again in another property to overwrite the property linked to it.

1.85

12/5/2018

[Changes and additions]

• Added "Item mark set/adjust/move/delete" to the interact menu for characters.
  • Select an item from your inventory to place a smaller version of that item's sprite at the lower left corner of that character's sprite (except when on the world map).
  • It supports item hue and items that have had their sprites customized via Garokk. It will also work on the player character [if you interact with yourself].
  • You can customize their position, size, and rotation to an extent, as well as whether they appear in front or behind that character.
  • Simplicity was a priority, so if you want to have multiple sprites or flip the image or something you'll have to create your own sprites.
  • You can use this to remember which pet is holding which item or to differentiate between pets that look really similar, or just as decoration.
• Combined weapon and armor hardening at the blacksmith into equipment hardening.
  • Also added new options to make equipment lighter or heavier. (Works only for >0.1s and <100s items respectively.)
  • The weight modifications are expensive and are also not subject to the Fighters Guild's 50% discount.
  • This lets you fine-tune item weights in 0.1s increments/decrements, which was not possible with flying scrolls that added or subtracted a percentage of item weight.
• Added an event dialogue that happens on anniversaries. It triggers when waking up on the day of an anniversary for a pet who is at Fellow or above, and one or more year has passed since that anniversary. Will happen for only one pet's anniversary [every time you wake up]. If you don't wake up on anniversary day, it won't trigger.
• Added 2 new special actions, both of which can be learned by the player.
• Added 6 new kobolt and 1 new bacteria NPCs.
• Added 1 new evolution.
• Added 1 new item.
• Implemented 2 item fusion recipes.
• Set the upper limit of the quota for trap removal quests to 200. There are at least 325 traps on the map, so getting 1.5 times the quota is still possible.
• The mine version of trap removal quests will now generate only above 15,000 fame and will now give 1 bronze coin even if you don't reach 1.5 times the quota.
• Danger level of shelter maps no longer go up as their No increase. This is to curtail their abuse for danger level-dependent things and the need for repeatedly constructing and removing shelters.
• Summoned NPCs will now have the summoned bit flag even if they are neither hostile nor spirits. Non-hostile NPCs with the summoned bit flag will not despawn from the map upon reentering the map after some time.
• Buffed the effect of MP recovery on MPoison. It now halves MPoison strength then subtracts 10, instead of only subtracting 10. This means that pets who can't use rods will be fine with just a few scrolls of mana in their inventory.
• Removed the auto-save from drinking blessed potions of potential because potentials increased are not random.
• Added wait to the auto-save when encountering assassins during an escort quest. Prevented user input for movement from registering before the wait comes into effect.
• Decreased the regular damage part of decapitation and also made it reduced by the target's PV.
• Made necromancy undead immune to Group Hypnosis (like they are to Eye of brainwashing) including its sleep effect.
• Prevented poisoned food items from getting used in "Let's have a meal together.".

[Fixes]

• Fixed Tag Force that was supposed to be used by <Rianna> the daydreamer getting used by zanan old soldier instead.
• Fixed Killing Dance special action sometimes buffing the user's target instead of the user himself.
• Fixed not receiving skill experience for disarming pitfalls on quest maps.
• Fixed disarming traps by standing on top of them and pressing the enter key not counting towards the quest quota. Manually disarming them while floating is safer but remember that it takes twice as many turns.
• Fixed some food items turning invisible on the ground instead of getting destroyed after being thrown.
• Fixed some cases in which pet names don't change after evolution.
• Fixed happy apples not being in the list of items available for purchase with music tickets.

1.85: detailed changelog

[New anniversary event]

• Making the pet happy increases Happiness by 10. Making it unhappy decreases Happiness by 5.
• No change if exasperated, and -10 if sad.
• The aforementioned are pretty inconsequential, but there is another option that triggers a special type of Ragnarok where only universe invaders will spawn.
• All options except for Ragnarok will generate a present at your character's feet.

[New NPCs]

• kobold blaster
  • Level 153 kobolt. Equipped with magnum ammo. Will occasionally use Collected Power.

• duke kobold
  • Level 122 kobolt. Male only. Uses Group Hypnosis, Shadow Step, and Distant Attack.

• lightning kobold
  • Level 101 kobolt. Strong lightning resistance. Uses Continuous attack and Element Scar.

• kobold saber
  • Level 90 kobolt. Equipped with magnum ammo. Will rarely use Boost.

• kobold blue
  • Level 27 kobolt. Strong poison resistance. Out of all the new NPCs in this version, only this NPC's corpse is poisonous. Uses Touch of Poison and Anaphylaxis.

• kobolina
  • Level 15 kobolt. Female only. Heal Critical on low health. Uses Mist of Darkness and Feather.

• universe invader
  • Level 70 bacterial. Forms swarms with other universe invaders. Uses Speed, Voracity Fang, and Squeeze.

[New evolution]

• kobold evolves with king heart into king kobold and learns Browbeat.

[New special actions]

• Hazard Recipe
  • Learned upon level up by the player with the "researching poisons" feat acquired and at least 20 in the Gene engineer skill.
  • Select a food item and it will gain a bit flag and the (Danger!) prefix. The item sprite will become jet-black, its item price will be reduced greatly, and it can no longer be used for having a meal together with a pet.
  • It will still train attributes the same way the original food item did, but special effects [like gaining resistances and impregnation] will no longer work.
  • Eating this item will cause the target to receive Gene engineer skill level-dependent non-elemental damage. If the target survives the damage, it will also get hit by one of the following:
    • vomit twice in a row,
    • have its gauge decreased by 30%,
    • receive additional poison damage,
    • receive chaos damage,
    • roll for insanity,
    • roll to get dimmed, or
    • receive 2 turns of Invert status ailment.
  • The epitome of lacing food with poison or a terminal inability to cook? You decide.

• Anaphylaxis
  • Wide special action.
  • Learned upon level up by the player with the "researching poisons" feat acquired and at least 40 in the Gene engineer skill.
  • Deals poison-element damage dependent on the user's Constitution attribute and Gene engineer skill, as well as the strength of the target's Poisoned status ailment.
  • The target will receive damage even when not poisoned, but the damage multiplier will be low.
  • Using this special action alone to poison a target will be difficult as the strength of the poison status ailment applied is low.
  • If the target is poisoned, it inflicts Dyspnea status ailment. (Does not add additional turns of Dyspnea if the target is already afflicted by it.). It also rolls to dim the target and will cause vomiting.
  • This special action works well with means of inflicting strong poison status ailment on targets such as Touch of Poison and bottles of poison.
  • Won't work well on targets immune to poison status ailment.

[New item]

• bomb barrel
  • Made via item fusion. Not randomly generated and is a junk item.
  • It explodes when destroyed by fire.
  • Only up to 3 will explode/get destroyed by fire at a time even when stacked.
  • Consumable item. Damage dealt by explosion depends on the player's Disarm Trap and Gene engineer skills.

1.84

10/28/2018

[Changes and additions]

• The new Act III area is now called Aimwell as per [Noa's Etherwind] to prevent confusion. Changed some text to reflect this change.
• Added 4 new evolutions.
• Added 1 new NPC.
• Added 8 new items.
• Added 1 new special action.
• Group Hypnosis special action now has an additional roll which will inflict low strength Nightmare if it succeeds. This roll is independent of the first roll that determines whether the target is put to sleep or not.
• Decapitation special action was basically a wasted turn if the target was not at low health, so it will now deal a small amount of Dexterity-dependent damage before rolling to decapitate the target.
  • If target HP is not low enough for Decapitation to proc and target is afflicted by less than 10 turns of Dyspnea, it will now also inflict 3 turns of Dyspnea.
  • [These changes only affect the special action.] Other special actions that have a chance of decapitating their target and the equipment attribute remain the same.
• Characters afflicted by Gravity status ailment can no longer evade traps. Trap disarming is still possible as the roll to disarm occurs before trap evasion.
• Added pitfall traps to Nefia.
  • Characters that are not floating will be dealt danger level-dependent damage (reduced by DV) when they get caught in it. 2 turns of Invert status ailment is them applied to them if they are currently afflicted by less than 2 turns of Invert. The pitfall trap disappears after it triggers.
• Pitfall traps can now be created by Digging at your feet (except on the world map). Disarming pitfalls you created yield no experience.
• New town board quest for defusing traps. There are variations of it that require filling in pitfalls and defusing land mines.

[Fixes]

• Fixed length getting inappropriately appended to some item names.
• Fixed race spawning rules for Nefia getting ignored for extremely low danger levels, causing NPCs that are around level 10 to spawn.
• Fixed hiring an adventurer, taking on an escort quest, getting caught by assassins, [saving the game], then loading it undoing the adventurer's placement on the map and crashing the game during the adventurer's turn. When updating the game from a previous version, the game will attempt to place [hired] adventurers somewhere on the current map during the first turn.
• The unique NPC modifier no longer shortens the countdown for Death Word for pets.
• Fixed hunting quests not getting cleared if the target monster's time has been stopped, and rendering the quest impossible to clear if the player exits the map while time is stopped. Time now will automatically start to run again after all targets have been defeated.

1.84: detailed changelog

[New town board quest]

• Trap removing
  • Comes up frequently in Derphy and Ludus.
  • They are named "Clean up mischief" and "Reasonable reason".
  • The former is to remove pitfalls and the latter for land mines.
  • You can either use Disarm Trap or plow through them to trigger them all (or even let NPCs do the triggering for you) - all these will count towards the quota.
  • Disarming pitfalls and mines you set will not count.
  • Strength of mines and pitfalls on the quest map will depend on quest difficulty.
  • Determination of whether the quota was met or not and thus if the quest is cleared happens when exiting the map.
  • The reward is a fame-dependent number of platinum pieces and a point-dependent number of dark fragments (capped at 30).
  • Exceeding 1.5 times the quota will also award a bronze coin.
  • These numbers are tentative and may be subject to further balancing and changes.

  • If evasion succeeds (whether by Evasion or Greater Evasion), it deals a low amount of Evasion skill-dependent damage to the attacker.
  • It procs regardless of the distance between the attacker and the target. It also procs for every single hit of multi-hit attacks like Continuous attacks, but if the attacker dies before all hits are over, the target will take damage from the remaining hits.
  • Now used by romanesque (evolved from zombie girl), last dancer, grim reaper, and <Alsapia> the murderer mask.

1.83

9/24/2018

[Changes and additions]

• Added 4 new types of random Nefia.
• Made the types of monsters that spawn within random Nefia dependent on their type. Human, metal, god-types and random unique NPCs can spawn in every type.
• Life attribute can now be raised with AP. 10 Life costs base Life x 2 + 300 AP. It costs an additional 300 AP for characters with the cArmour bit flag, and an additional 800 AP for cMetal. It cannot be raised when base Life is 300 or greater.
• Added 6 new bird NPCs.
• Added another 2 new NPCs.

  • When using it after Touch of Weakness on a unique NPC, the additional damage will now get applied instead of getting negated.
• Made it possible to throw all food items.
  • When food items that don't have special effects are thrown and hit hungry characters, they will get eaten within that turn.
  • When this happens, there is a chance that 10 turns of Dyspnea will be applied to that character. When throwing mochi at characters other than the player character, this effect will take precedence over the chance of applying Choked.
  • If the food item hits a character who isn't hungry, it will deal weight-dependent damage.
  • Like natto, food items thrown will disappear whether they hit their target or not. Chestnuts are the only exception to this rule.

  • Choked will now disable all actions and also do damage over time.

[Fixes]

  • Temporarily decreases the target's attributes by 50 each. Does not decrease the attributes of unique NPCs.

  • Maile and Nagarew will now use this instead of Data Delete.

• Data Delete
  • Used to be a temporary special action, but is now a gauge attack that procs off Memory Poison. Does not deal damage.
  • Permanently decreases the attributes of the target by 1, and sets power gauge to 0 if it is 1 or above. Cannot be avoided by any means.

• Fixed not obtaining the lump sum of money, bonus skill points, and special actions when switching the game mode to purge.
  • Updating the game will award these bonuses to all existing purge mode save files - this applies to games that were purge mode to begin with and those that were switched to purge mode during gameplay.
• Fixed [astral light pen copies of] a certain unique NPC getting rendered unconscious by a story event every turn.

1.80

7/16/2018

[Changes and additions]

• Made slight changes to the sprites of some NPCs.
• Made it possible to irreversibly switch the game mode of an existing save to an easier one. Added a new map and new unique NPC to southern edge of North Tyris.

• Made strength of Choked status ailment [have a chance of] decreasing every turn.
  • When it reaches 0 or below and the character is still alive, then the status ailment is cured.

  • Groundwork for a Choke attack.
• When getting doused in a potion or stepping into a puddle made by one, it now increases satiety and hydration by only 1/5 of the original values. This should be useful in some situations.

• Hydration now decreases to the point where there is no status indicator when producing urine, no matter how high the hydration was before that.
• Added an option in the settings to turn off waste matter generation.
  • NB: "Block dust generation".
  • When off, it stops the generation of vomit when vomiting, ranch animals no longer produce shit, and urine is no longer produced when Marking is used or a character wets himself.
  • This is for people who found it too gross even as a game.
  • It does not turn off their random generation, so guards will still want other people's shit by fair means or foul sometimes.

[Fixes]

• Fixed the crash that sometimes occurred when leaving the current map.
• Fixed the shop's item sale limit and the experience bonus earned by setting the limit not working when the player character is not in the shop.

  • Abnormal -> Loss -> Natural -> Essential -> Overdose -> Purge
  • Intermediate game modes can be skipped, but game modes on the right can not be switched to a more difficult one on the left.
  • There is no auto-save for this so you can still [close the game without saving then] load if you picked the wrong choice, but do note that if the original game mode had a game loading penalty it will get applied.

[New unique NPC]

  • Level 66 imp. Float bit flag.
