Patch Notes From 0.1 through 0.1.5

Version 0.1.5 uploaded 10/25/2021

• Restructuring of Maps for more organization: In progress, To do, Intro, Ending, Debug
• Creation of the Debug skill (teleport you to/from debug map), map, and events
• Debug skill uses same logic as the magic tent that remembers where you are before teleport
• So I edited the tent event so that if you used debug from tent, it will return you to start
• This prevents you being stuck teleporting from the tent back to the tent forever
• Alternatively, you can use an event on the debug map to teleport you to wherever you want
• Other events on debug map include the ability to add/reset any npc party member
• All four of the events in the tent: long/short rest, and wizard/cleric spell prep.
• Also added direct teleport events to take you directly to most main maps.
• Neverwinter, Goblin Trail, Phandalin, Tresendar Manor, Neverwinter Wood, Cragmaw Castle.
• Added a prototype cheat code event to allow Sildar to increase some stats if you want.
• Added a set of treasure chests with shop menus so that you can add any item in the game
• Each chest has different types of items and lists what they have and what other chests have.
• Added a set of events to test the new talent check plug-in skill check system
• After extensive testing, got it working
• Added and customized a plug-in to control "Talents" allowing skills to be controlled in-game
• TO DO: - Make sure to thank Frog Boy in credits along with Yanfly and other plug-in creators.
• Edited settings and variables to allow them to interact.
• Created variables 140-160 for specific characters' talent checks.
• Created each of the four races and the five classes playable in the plug-in
• Customized what skills they are given proficiency in and set all skill values.
• Created a custom character actor and class to one day create a character from scratch.
• Streamlined a process to allow each skill check to set some variables and run a common event.
• The old skill check worked better for things that need to account for adv. or disadv.
• TO DO: - go through all skill checks in the game so far and update them to new system if needed.
