Bug Fixes:

-Version # update.

We are happy to announce a content update for EPE! Patch Notes Below! @everyone

##############################
Patch Notes: 1.1.7.0 - Genes, Barbershop, Customization, Oh my!
##############################

MAJOR UPDATE #1:

-Introducing a whole new set of genes for character customization! Our team has recently learned how to implement these quickly and we have a lot more ideas for the future.

List of new genes:

gene_bs_eye_outer_width
gene_bs_head_asymmetry
gene_bs_eye_fold_2
gene_bs_mouth_center_curve
gene_bs_eyebrow_straight
gene_bs_head_round_shape
gene_bs_nose_septum_height
gene_bs_head_lower_height
gene_bs_nose_flared_nostril
gene_bs_mouth_upper_lip_forward
gene_bs_mouth_lower_lip_forward
gene_bs_nose_swollen
gene_bs_ears_fantasy
gene_bs_mouth_glamour_lips

Most (not all) of these genes will naturally spawn on characters. Genes like asymmetry will not be as drastic on characters who spawn with the beauty traits, being only slightly present on comely characters, less on pretty/handsome characters, and non-existent on beautiful characters.

MAJOR UPDATE #2:

We have been asked for a long time to figure out a way to make cosmetics selectable in the barbershop. Well, thanks to AJ and the wonderful Elder Kings II team, we have done it! All makeup and cosmetics will be selectable in the barbershop!

UPDATE #1:

We have restored the values of the mouth_width gene and the eye_size_pos gene back to their 1.4.4 values. This means the bug eye appearance of characters should be gone and 1.4.4 DNA should work properly in the game.

UPDATE #2:

For some reason, the Royal Court items were not available in the Barbershop unless you used a mod like CFP. The vanilla game did not have them available. We have added them under “Special Headwear” in the barbershop for those who have the DLC.


Hotfixes:

-Fixed some custom genes that were broken by the Royal Court update.

-Fixed conflict with Fullscreen Barbershop. Characters should use proper prop swords with that mod enabled.

-Indian Crowns added by Royal Court should spawn more commonly on Northern Indians.

-The new MENA Turban added by Royal Court should spawn on High Medieval Islamic Iranians.

-Fixed Mena legwear spawning on military uniforms for all cultures.

-Fixed all remaining startup errors.

-Fixed odd values present for some ethnicities.

-Fixed minor headwear error with East Africans.

-Fixed outdated language localizations.

Patch Notes: 1.1.6 The Royal Court Update

-Genes have been brought in line with the Royal Court update.

MAJOR UPDATE: Scripted Character DNA

-We have devised a way to assign Perma-DNA to historical characters without touching the vanilla history files! This allows us to make unique appearances for characters who normally would not have it. We will be assigning DNA slowly as we parse the thousands of characters.
