Added to options menu: the ability to load into a game instead of going to the hub first.
Tolerances in the dropdowns of the Defending tab in combat now actually uh... work lol - least with afflictions and damage automatically with new turn - (e.g. if you took 10 damage from bleeding normally, but have bleeding(r) in the tolerance. you'd then only take 5 per new turn.

added armor, and accessories, and properties to rule book for more equipment just in case
Oh yeah. you can now select your current equipped weapons, and armor when doing magical smithing and stuff...............it doesn't really do anything. but you can do it!
set "normal" in the middle of scavenging paces.
Scavenging now shows ALL materials found since it now does multiple scavenges on slower paces.
Changed the drop down for attacksize in GM combat field. removed quick action but placed in ranged attack
added action points and action economy to hostile tokens for easier management - these action points save too
added ranged damage, reloading, and other things to hostile tokens.
GM combat field changes!
tokens when loaded now roll prowess based on their stat modifiers, and add prowess slot with its name on load
when sorting prowess slots now. If it finds hostile tokens with the same name. it will append a number to it. (hostile 1, hostile 2 hostile 3) and change the names of the hostile tokens themselves as well as the prowess slot name.
When hitting "next turn" on the prowess shield. It will select the token on the combat field so its ready to go to activate their turn
Item lookup in inventory now ignores case (low-potion is now valid) and looks for "similar" e.g. (low-potions)
through some sort of fucking coding magic.
when inputting an item in your inventory. it will check the entire name of it... if its more than 51% similar to an item in the rule book. it will adjust its search name to that actual name. and then rename your item for you
inventory checks if there is an item in the text field...if so. updates to 1 minimum in amount
worked on GM combat field a bit. can now upload token images to tokens with numbered paths and it will save( e.g. bandit 1 can have a diff image than bandit 2) however. if you just upload a token image while its named bandit. it /will/ find "bandit" and append that image to tokens if there isn't a numbered.png there
on top of the appending token images. when deleting a creature it now deletes token images with the same name, and all accompanied numbered files.
When setting a tokens image on the combat field. It now looks for all hostiles with the same name. and updates their image as well to the new uploaded image.
Re enabled custom weapons. and hopefully fixed it to work for the new form style of weapons
moved the delete character button down to the bottom of the character selection list. and made the load button overlay the entire character information section
made it so each type of donation/subscription and w/e still activates regardless if you have a higher tier/or w/e ...idk how to explain it lol
made the barrier on the start screen and in options different. Screen edges are now blue. and the "Too big" area is now red. to be more obvious. also pixel width changed from 3px to 5px to help fine tuning
Rearanged the inventory page to be better...hopefully
also on the inventory page made it so bank slots show information about the item in their slots. and removed slot amount restriction on banks
added note for chest and bandoliers on inventory page
welp... 👉 👈 we made a fucky wucky.
Data base files will be remade, and codes will have to be reentered.
THANKFULLY. the starting opening test is now saved in options.
Nephilim(Apostles) dice stacking ability is now automatic...cause fuck doin all that yourself
If you are a Titan(Giga) you can now stack items unlimitedly in the same slot, and the system wont stop you.
When using a twohanded weapon with the Titan(Giga) it no longer unequips your accessory
Added automatic scavenging and crafting stuff for Timlins as their racial traits work that way

[Game Changes]

scavenging information updated to be... more fair imo
Scavenging at a hurried pace now only has a 10% chance for random encounter (was 33%) but cuts your material finds in 50%.
Scavenging at a panicked pace now only has a 0% chance for random encounter (was 50%) but cuts your material finds by 75%

[Engine Changes]

Adjusted started canvas on new settings to be set to middleground 0.5
added extra buttons for fine tuning in starting screen. and added more text to starting screen.
Reenabled the archaic quick start guide as its not 100% useless... least till the tutorial is finished.
changed how GM sends loot and exp to players. now is one button, and both fields MUST have something in them.
Added grace period to server connection (cause internets be bad n stuff.) it stores your connection information for 30 seconds. and if you reconnect. it snaps right back. no issues. Added disconnection protection. now attempts to reconnect for 30 seconds. doesn't remove you from "connected mode" while disconnected if it isn't voluntary.
removed party notes. lol just use discord or something 🤷
Added server stop protection. (shouldn't a fuckin asset have that anyways??? but whatever)
Added "Play Only For GM" buttons to GM audio manager....just incase you're doing it for streams or you're all at a table and dont need audio playing from many devices at the same time 🤷
Replaced main menu "Options" on yumalon to "Switch To Duels" as i'll be merging Duels of Ardron into AoA.
on a side note of working on DoA, I've added a "Whats My Ip" to the GM side of things... QOL thing
Removed pressing escape to see options as... theres a button now. specifically for phones in every menu so. no longer needed
instead of running 500 fuckin checks, and catches and try's... i've just redone the entire naming scheme. this also helps with DoA so there wont be multiple files. codes and tutorials will have to be redone.
made it so when you hover over the trade dropdown it cleared the information in the trade panel as it was causing confusion
made the hide spell info button in spellcasting also work on hover.
Made it so all combat related rolls show the panel until you tap/hover over the "Hide panel" buttons included - a needed change for phone which dont use mice :v
Netcode: Player rolls on GM side now automatically scrolls to bottom on new roll collected.
Made artificer gear automatic (if possible) - e.g. things like bionic ears...obviously i can't just apply the bonus to ALL aptitude checks when it specifies ears. so.
Netcode: Made it so if the server shuts down. it sends a disconnect of all clients as volentary so it doesn't try to reconnect and saves data before hand.
Netcode?: on player side combatside. if you select a token. you can then tap show player information to see the player tokens current information

[Game Changes]

buffed a lot of artificer gear
Wyrms Alese trait "Flash in a pan" changed completely due to movement speed not being a thing anymore

Redid all netcode......hopefully the right way this time 👁️ 👄 👁️
fixed. issue of clients not being able to reconnect due to the server automatically deleting itsself once there was no clients (again. wtf?)
fixed a bunch more stuff with net code idk. its been a long day fam
fixed netcode entirely hopefully, added many.............many.............many many mayn many exceptions to netcode. finally works with more than 1 connection now.

Fixed mana not subtracting from tokens if they had defense(lmao)
fixed player token information attempting to load from load number -1 for unloaded tokens.
fixed rule book game mechanics last 3 buttons reading "traveling" >.> ooops
fixed alchemy potions in rule book items going to Other page.
Fixed(?) it so if you remove prowess slots in GM and the turn was current the turn of a removed slot. it sets it to the next available slot. - idk who would do that, but its a safty thing lol
fixed screen wipe. increased the black transitions from leaving a scenes delay from 0.4 to 0.8 cause it was clearing faster than the animation.
Changed Fortuna Pura potion wording to fit the d100 system.
Fixed and adjusted the spell information panel

When connected. GM now receives all player dice rolls(ithink..mighta missed some) on starting page.
hopefully set it up now that; since scavenger levels are an automatic ordeal in code. connecting to server scans all players information and suses out the scavengers level (if there is one) if so. it applies that number to scavengers so it automatically does it for you...................hopefully
added attachments to the rulebook so if you hover/click ove ra new rule or a new character component or something. the scrollbar snaps to the top instead of staying in position.

custom weapons creation currently disabled while i create a new custom weapons creator for the new weapon style
added system for improv weapons. - However a note. it will not save this data between loads. it is for the moment of use only and then discarded.

Added 3 weapon damage type reminders to extra modifiers for all weapons. - also removed the close button. now closes when you repress the extra modifiers button

added some fucky magic so now there is transitions between closing scenes.
changed weapon form toggles to 1 and 2 respectively.
Edited the loot generator. now it combines items that are the same.

instead of adding in a system to track catalysts. i've just removed them completely from the game. 🤔 even with everything i've tried to do with them. there really isn't a reason for them to be there. i mean if you want one its really only worth its weight in RP so 🤷

shifted everything in AoA lore for easier navigating/go with the theme of the game
added a 1 second delay to rolling results. - while delay is happening. information will display "Rolling..." - this is so it shows the system is doing something. - i rolled multiple dice and sometimes the result didn't change. which could cause confusion. this aims to fix it. it means you can't spam dice anymore but also wont get confused if you actually rolled or not.
streamlined options and removed options that aren't needed anymore.

New options menu. its ugly as sin but it has dedicated controller support.
You can now create all types of homebrew if you buy them through the shop. - Sadly these are not set to actually load or be used in the assistant yet, but you can create them for the future. (Companions, and weapons work for now) - This took up the majority of December to do so...

[Engine Changes]

Added some really basic controller support for the hell of it. itll be for adventure mode later down the road buuuut its there lol
Added mouse/controller mode setter...thingy. (e.g. moving the mouse/clicking it sets it to mouse mode. and hitting a button/moving a joystick on a controller sets it to controller mode) - i got side tracked testing another thing lol
The potato 🥔 has been diced and nicely fried. It learned its lesson
Changed custom companions in the character creator to be buttons instead of a dropdown.
Added christmas 2023 key code

Alpha 1.3

Nov 29, 2023

[WARNING]
Due to the new changes to the save file for custom content. and the change to the Game Master file.
Your past characters and game master files will not work in this version. This should be the last time this happens. Sorry.

[New]

Updated GM Combat Field/Hostile Creator: Removed Hit Points from Hostile Creator in the new and editing section. To instead have a whole system in the Combat Field which gives you a pool of hit points to use to send to your hostile tokens. This also replaced the "Hp Fix" button on the combat field to instead pop up a menu to do this.
Updated Player: Character Info: Merged Racial Traits with Class Features page. Now you can view both without having to switch, and compare abilities easier.
[New Class] Hunter is now available. The scavenger skill tree is a special case in which all of its features are automatic because they have to be.
[New Class] Daredevil is now available.
[New Class] Pirate class is now available.
[New Class] The Trainer is now available.
[New Class] The Artist is now available; For the OG's. The dancer was replaced with a new tree so... new content for you too.
[NEW] Homebrew companions can now be made, loaded in player assistant. Selected as starting pet for trainers and more.

[Mechanical Changes]

The Artists dancer tree was replaced by the Painter. Still Damage and support focused.

[Engine Changes]

Increased the number of players possible and player tokens possible and loadable in GM side to 40 to account for companions and what not.
Added options loader/creator back into the disclaimer scene so it generates an AoAOptions file instead of just preloading them.
Made it so that when left-clicking an unfinished dialog line in the tutorial, it auto-completes.
Made the key code in the shop tutorial be an input field with the code already in it. It selects all text upon clicking/tapping for easy copying. Bonus if the text is deleted for any reason; it will regenerate.
Disabled adventure mode tutorial because it just isn't what i want it to be yet.
Added an indicator of which stats will decrease/increase after putting your selection in them on Random Rolling stat method.
Added notifier to the main menu over the play button to visit the store when starting for first time.
Added back adventure mode button to play type but locked off for now.
Updated GM: Player Information: Made it more clear that slots after the 12th are for companions.
Updated GM: Combat Field: Made it so when selecting a player token higher than 12, it defaults to only loading companions; otherwise, it will load player characters.
Updated GM: Combat Field/Player Info: Increased player token amount to 48 on the psychotic idea that you have 12 players and they all choose a summoner. (This is gonna break your GM files, by the way)
Moved Cleric (Class) and Angels (Species) to Donator content, as the warrior and humans are already the Yumalon Class & Species.
Updated Player: Trades: Now shows the possible range of materials obtainable with the current selected Toggles, and after clicking scavenge; shows how much material you got from the scavenge.
Class/Tree features now show if you have it unlocked via lighting up if it's available/dimming if you don't.
Made Max/Current ammo in weapons able to be changed manually due to some class features(Blame the hunter).
Removed level requirement check for trades due to some class and racial features(yup same for hunter).
All companions now entered into system data. Added to the Rule book in character components.

[Fixes]

Fixed Shop tutorial not going away after completion (code ran too fast to load save file). Added a possible fix to the Testsave, just in case.
Fixed missing "s" on Human(s) - so it didn't load correctly.
Fixed a stupid issue that when buying an item in the shop, it would buy it but not remove it from the shop because I'm an idiot.
Fixed Save & Exit as a player looking for server connection and failing to save when not found.
Fixed an issue that when looking up species traits in the rule book it would list ALL of the sub-species upon looking at the species. This also fixed the racial traits in the player assistant. Fixed Gargoyles buttons in rule book. Fixed a VERY odd issue where the warriors tree features were loading into its class features.
Disabled shop confirmation at default. Caused issues with shop tutorial.
Fixed an abusive cheat in Random Rolling stat method.
