Fixed a bug where summoned creatures could spawn into locked prison cells. Tweaked initial positions of animated and summoned creatures. Added more pre-checks for AI to check that there is space to create the animated / summoned.
More tweaks to charm / possession, so that friendly creatures won't get angry or stay angry at the charmed / possessed in special cases.
Yet another autopick bug fixed. This happened when "Pick all ammunition" setting was unchecked, and you autopiloted from level loot to a shoot weapon that used different ammunition type than what you currently had in quiver.
When hostile creatures are seen, ammunition disabled in the loot manager can now be re-enabled from the normal inventory (ENTER or LMB on the item). Disabling can still be done only from the loot manager.

Various charm / possession related tweaks.
Fixed a bug where item autopickup status wasn't correctly updated when the player was encumbered and "Pick all ammunition" setting was not checked.
When "Autoammo" setting is NOT on, existing everlasting ammunition is chosen when you run out of current ammunition type.
Cycling through ammunition now skips weaker basic ammunition than the strongest everlasting ammunition that you have in inventory. Also skips the weaker everlasting ammunition if you have several in inventory.

Last update caused some unwanted behavior when no damage was done when attacking. Fixed.
Quiver status of companions should now be updated correctly when inventory is closed abruptly (after a hostile creature is seen).
You can now toggle the usage of ammunition types in loot manager, if you don't want to currently use (equip, autoammo) or divide them. Affects both the player and the companions. Disabled ammunition will still be autopicked. Note that you can't re-enable the usage when hostile creatures are seen, so always have some ammunition enabled. Toggling is done with DEL.

Fixed a bug where the Dualshot talent was not usable.
Autoexplore fixes.
Further tweakings of initial non-autoammo ammunition selection. Need to start a new game to be fully functional.
Some tweaks that friendly creatures won't get angry when walking over map effects that won't damage them.
If you put an item into a furniture container then the item is marked as not to be autopicked. This way you can dump unwanted items into containers, and they won't get automatically autopicked if later access the container. The container needs to have at least one item so it can be interacted with. The "do not autopick" status is cleared if you take the item out from the container. Only works in regular dungeon levels, not in the demiplanes.

Fixed a bug where creatures did not heal themselves when needed if they couldn't see hostile creatures.
Fixed a bug where companion pathfinding didn't take creatures that could not be displaced into account.
Fixed a bug where creature's state wasn't properly updated after an on-hit effect.
Fixed a quickslot related bug.
You can no longer order companions to target non-evil creatures that aren't yet hostile.
Undead no longer get animated in locked prison cells.
Everlasting ammunition no longer stacks.
If you don't use autoammo, autoequip tries to equip normal ammunition before special ammunition when the quiver is empty. Mainly it avoids ammunition of Dismiss and Explosion.
When a possessed creature gets unpossessed, it now re-equips itself and updates its item interests.
You can now press B to cycle through blocked areas on the autopilot map screen.
When there are no hostile creatures seen, pressing F to fire ranged moves the target cursor automatically to nearest suspicious furniture if it's within range.
Level up -screen now has a red text near the Continue text if you have skill or talent points left. (You can save points for later use, but the points can only be used on level ups)
New setting: "Reveal furniture creatures after level explored", under Creatures, off by default:

If checked, once you have completely explored a dungeon level, all remaining furniture creatures (living statues, mimics, animated objects, etc.) will be revealed, and will move towards the stairs and the Carillo teleporter. This will also open all closed (non-locked) doors on the level.
For the reveal effect to happen, this setting needs to be on when you receive the XP award for completely exploring a level. Toggling it afterwards has no effect.

Autoexplore no longer autopilots to locked doors blocked from autopilot.
Companions in travel- or stay-behavior no longer search for secret doors when autoexploring.
Recent update made it possible to end on a trap after blinking. Fixed.
If a companion can't find a path to the destination point of a travel command, the examine mode cursor is changed to "unreachable area" cursor.
Friendly fire confirmation dialog is no longer shown if friendly creatures in the area of effect are immune to the effect.
Autopilot map now shows a red frame around areas blocked from autopilot.
Shopkeeper's remaining wealth is now updated as you select items to buy / sell, similarly as the player's wealth when selecting items.
The log is now saved and restored when loading a saved game.

Fixed a bug where autopiloting to a known trap could place companion on the trap.
Fixed a bug where commanding a companion to stay at current spot in examine mode set the companion to follow / regroup behavior instead.
Fixed a bug where sleeping evil creatures or evil creatures that had not yet seen the spellcaster were not targetable for Holy Burst.
Fixed a bug where companion would not use ranged weapons if in stay-behavior and ranged tactics.
Autoexplore now stops before a closed door.
You can now cycle the behavior of the current companion under the cursor in examine mode with ENTER, X, NUMPAD DIVIDE, or LMB. When choosing a target for something (ranged attack, talent, etc.), ENTER and LMB aren't usable, the other keys are. There is so little space left in the examine- / target-mode log area to list all keys, so only X is mentioned there.

Last release introduced a bug with previously gained Great Ability talents and checking talent requirements. Fixed.
Fixed a bug where companions would not turn their lantern off if player's lantern was off and player was tracked by some creature.
Companions now prefer returning throwable weapons as ranged weapons versus shootable items. Also affects non-returning throwable weapons when wearing the Gauntlets of Throwback.
Added situations where autopiloting and resting is halted: companion gets stuck in slime or web, a nearby trap set by player gets sprung.
You can now see companion's info in examine mode even if the companion is not currently seen.
When commanding a companion to travel to a spot, a circle and the companion number is shown on the spot in examine mode / autopilot map until the companion has reached the stay-spot.
AI and pathfinding tweaks.
New setting: "Companions blink with player" under "Companions".

Controls what happens to companions when player uses the Blink talent or a Potion of Blink. Affects only Blink and not other means of teleportation, like using Wand of Rapid Regroup.
If 0, companions are teleported with the player. (default)
If 1, companions in stay-behavior are not teleported with the player.
If 2, companions are never teleported with the player.

Fixed a bug where poisoned creatures thought that they were attacked by an unseen enemy after blinking.
Fixed a bug where on hit -effect texts were logged even if the situation was not seen.
Fixed an inventory list bug.
Fixed some bugs related to effects that have "seen hostiles" or "chain" as the area of effect, mainly Chain Lightning and Holy Burst.
Fixed a bug with animals not using Health Surge.
Fixed a bug where creatures animated from a trap did not attack the one that sprung the trap.
Fixed a charm related bug.
Animated and summoned creatures created by an evil aligned creature now remain evil aligned after their master has died / lost, and can be targeted with Holy Burst and such, which only damages evil creatures.
Devices (orbs, wands, etc.) now show range in their properties, if applicable.
Devices / talents that affect creatures and have automatic target selection are dimmed in lists if there are no applicable creatures in range.
Ordering a companion to drink potions (CTRL + ENTER or SHIFT + ENTER) in loot manager is now longer immediate even when no hostiles seen. You can now set a potion for several companions without the loot manager closing. Companions drink the potions as their next actions. If you need immediate action, you can do that from the companion's inventory.
If you have selected a Great Ability talent during level up, it now counts as an ability increase when checking the ability requirements of other talents.
AI and pathfinding tweaks.
Several typos fixed.

You can now change companion's position in the companion list. First, enter examine mode (TAB). Then, select wanted companion with the target cursor or by cycling through the companion list with PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN. Move the companion to a wanted position in the list with HOME / END. Pressing CTRL + R in examine mode resets the list order.
You can now use flasks from the loot manager. When the selector is on ammunition, flask icons appear on top of the companion list if there are applicable flasks available. Movement keys left / right move between the flasks, ENTER uses the selected flask.
Tweaked automatic ammunition selection for both player and AI so that higher enchantment (+X) ammunition is used against dangerous targets, even if the target fully resists elemental damage elements.
Tweaked companion switching from a ranged to a melee weapon when target is next to him and companions has the Close Combat Ranged and / or in ranged tactics. Companions switch to ranged weapons more quickly when set to ranged tactics.
Scroll of Purifying now purifies all unholy weapons and ammunition in your and your companions' possession (previously only the items of the one reading the scroll).
Fixed an item rank calculation bug that happened if an item was enchanted to +6 or higher. This affected how companions ranked weapons before selecting what to equip.
Level loot now calculates the actual path lengths to the items before opening the list. It's little slower than the old implementation. Having the "valuables" filter active when opening the loot list speeds it up (can be toggled by pressing "0" in level loot).
When playing in ASCII mode, locked doors are now drawn in grey.
Fixed an ASCII visibility bug.
Fixed an inventory selector positioning bug.
Monsters going berserk no longer get Health / Stamina boost if withered.
Potion of Martyrdom no longer affects undead companions.

Level loot remembers the last item that you selected. If autopilot to the item gets interrupted, you can now continue autopilot by opening level loot nd pressing ENTER, or just by pressing SPACE twice, if you haven't changed level loot's default key.
Changed autopilot screen so that pressing P (the default key for autopilot) closes the screen if the target cursor is on the player, but if there's a valid path then it acts the same as pressing ENTER. Now you can quickly continue an interrupted autopilot path just by pressing P twice.
Tweaked companion travel / stay -behavior.
If a companion can't find his way to you (follow / regroup behavior) or to his target (travel / target behavior), his behavior mode text is in red in the top right companion list.
Loot manager now shows Health and Stamina bars when the selector is on an potion. Companion name is in red if poisoned.
Active weapon set is now in red when looking at a creature and its equipment in examine mode.
Some monster talents have minimum range. It's now mentioned in talent stats. (You can temporarily gain access to monster talents by possessing a monster)
You can now transfer resistance potions to companions. They do not automatically use them, you have to order them to drink one. Mentioned in item descriptions.
Inventory should now remember the amount of the current item under the selector when switching between equipment / transfer modes and when switching companion.
Ammunition with an on-hit effect from the start didn't list possible elemental damage elements in their names. Fixed.

When you possessed a sleeping creature, it was considered still sleeping and the talents were not working. Fixed.
After making field of view symmetric, parts of the endgame level could not be explored just by peeking into them. Made small changes to the layout of these areas.
You can now order companions to drink potions from their inventory. Usable only when there are no hostiles seen.
You can now use the loot manager (SHIFT + ENTER) to order companion to drink a potion, even when hostiles creatures are seen. When hostile creatures are seen, you can set a potion for several companions, but only one potion per companion. If there are no hostile creatures seen, then the companion drinks the potion immediately, otherwise as its next action. Ordering companion to drink a potion does not count as an action for the player. Companion's original potions can not be ordered to drink. Use SHIFT + ENTER, CTRL + ENTER, or RMB on a potion to set the order.
Tweaked companion and NPC potion and Health Surge use.
When you swap rings with quickslots, the current rings are listed in the message log.
New setting: "Compact quickslots" under "Quickslots". Off by default.

If enabled, the quickslot rows in the right sidepanel are more compact, making the panel able to fit more rows.
New setting: "Quick equip ring needs an empty finger slot" under "Quickslots". Off by default.

If enabled, using a quickslot that has a ring assigned to it only equips the ring if there's a free ring equipment slot available. If the ring is already equipped, then it's unequipped. This has the benefit that quickslotted rings are not locked to either of the ring slots, and you can use any combination of quickslotted rings. If two rings are equipped, you need to unequip one before equipping a new one.
If disabled, using a quickslot that has a ring assigned to it equips the ring to the original equipment slot that it was assigned to, replacing any previous one without needing first to unequip it. Ring quickslots in the right quickslot panel list the finger (1 or 2) they were assigned to.
When examining a creature, the right side panel now tries to highlight the valuable equipment and devices, and combine items if there isn't enough space to list all.
Each possession or failed try now makes the target more resistant against future attempts.
Added a mention of range (8 tiles) to Horn of Blasting's description.
Added a comment to ingame book Book of Deicide and to PDF manual endgame info about events that will cause the pantheon to reset.
The leaderboard has been reset. The previous can be found here: https://wins.zorbus.net/r60b/

The loot manager wasn't reacting to CTRL / ALT + NUMPAD LEFT / RIGHT keys. Fixed.
Letter selection is now possible in the left list of the loot manager if you enable "Letter selection: loot manager" in the settings. Off by default.
Made the potion amount numbers over party member icons in inventory more clear, especially in ASCII mode.
When the player selects items for sale, his coin amount in the top right corner reflects the amount that he would have if the sale were made.
You can now take companion's potions once you've descended 2 dungeon levels from the recruiting dungeon level, or have gotten 3 level ups, or entered the endgame level. Not applicable if you've removed the companion even once from the party and then recruited him back. Companions try to use their original potions first.
The ring equipment slots are now named and numbered as "Finger 1" and "Finger 2", mainly for easier quickslot identification.
Autoexplore / continuous walking stops if you have True Seeing active and the duration ends.
Inventory remembers filter type, filter keyword, and selector when swapping between companion's equipment + inventory / exchange -mode.
Ammunition coated with flasks now combines with ammunition that has the effect from start. Item descriptions should now be correct. When using flasks that create anchoring / tracking / withering ammunition, the ammunition is enchanted to be of +1 enchantment, unless already of that enchantment level or higher. Combines better with found ammunition of those types since they're always at least +1.

Release change

Important! This game release is not compatible with the save games of the earlier releases (r60 and older)!
If earlier save files are detected, they are moved into "(game folder)\Backup_r60\Save". When you start the updated game, a menu will open where you can launch older releases of the game and finish those runs.
If you had an unfinished extended game going on where you plan to utilize previously ascended characters, you can continue that with the older release.
Check the "Skip this menu until a new release is out" checkbox if you don't want to see the menu anymore until a new release is out.
You can also manually run the older version of the game from the "Backup_r60" folder, but close any other running version of the game first.
Older game release backups that don't have any unfinished save games are removed after a month.
If you launch an old game release from the menu, and the game doesn't seem to react to keyboard presses, it might be that the game window just isn't active. So click somewhere on the game screen with the mouse, and you should be ok.
Troubleshooting forum thread here.

New functions: Auto divide potions / ammunition

If auto divide potions is enabled, selected potions will be divided to companions. ]For each potion type, a minimum amount of what the player wants to keep is set, and the rest is divided between companions. Takes some of the equipment into account: skips Antidote potions if the companion is immune to poison, skips Mobility potions if the companion is immune to slime and web effects. Potion divide does not decrease the amount of potions already in companions' inventories.

If auto divide ammunition is enabled, all ammunition will be automatically divided between the player and the companions. ]More ammunition is given to those with ranged attack tendencies and talents. The ammunition type is determined by the companion's ranged weapon type, checked from the second weapon set first. If a companion is set to "melee only" -tactics, the companion is still given a small amount (10-30) of the poorest ranked ammunition. Any ammunition that is not suitable for companions is given to the player. For example, if the companion has an Everlasting arrow, then it makes no sense to give him regular arrows of the same enchantment or lower. Ammunition divide always redivides all the available ammunition from all companions, unless the companion was excluded from the ammunition divide. If ammunition divide is enabled, then all ammunition is always picked up, regardless of the "Pick all ammunition" setting.
Auto divide is activated when you open the inventory, open or close the loot manager, autopick items or a companion picks up ammunition, you recruit a companion, or when you enter an another map. The player character needs to see the applicable companions and vice versa, and they need to be within 5 tiles of each other. No hostile creatures can be seen. For ammunition divide to activate, at least half of the potential companions need to fill the requirements.
New settings "Auto divide potions, default" and "Auto divide ammunition, default" control the default values (on/off) for the divide functions for new games.
New setting "Auto divide potions, default minimum" is default setting for auto divide potions for new games: the minimum amount per potion type to keep for yourself, the rest is divided to companions. Only affects commonly found potions, rare potions are set as non-divided. Setting this to -1 sets all amounts as non-divided. Setting this to 0 sets all amounts to your custom amounts, previously adjusted and saved in the loot manager. Setting this to 1 or higher means that you keep that many potions for yourself and the rest gets divided. These are only the default values for new games. The minimum amounts can be further adjusted in the loot manager.

New UI: Loot manager

Makes it easier to divide potions and ammunition between companions.
Can be opened with SHIFT + ENTER or with the mouse by middle clicking the companion list on the top right corner. With the controller you need to go the inventory first, and then start the loot manager from there with the right trigger. Both auto divide options can be toggled and adjusted from the loot manager.
Companions can be excluded from the divide functions. You can exclude companions per potion type, excluding from ammunition divide applies to all ammunition.
You can see and adjust the inventory amounts per item type and per companion, even if no plan to use the auto divide functions.
If an item is not shown in the loot manager, then it can not be transferred to a companion.
A frame around a companion image means that the companion is included in the divide for that potion type or for all ammunition. The player can not be excluded from the potion divide.
The total duration of all inventory actions made in the loot manager is 2 base rounds.

Companion AI / UI changes

Tweaked potion use and blinking.
Tweaked pathfinding.
New companion options (on character sheet's 2nd page, both on by default): "Blink": If enabled, this companion uses blink to escape (Potion of Blink, Blink talent). "Lantern": If enabled, this companion lits and turns off its lantern when you do. If disabled, this companion never lits its lantern.
Now if a companion gets anchored, a red frame is drawn around its icon on the top right companion list.
Now if a companion gets withered, a red frame is drawn around its Health and Stamina bar on the top right companion list.
When moving the target cursor over a companion in the examine- and autopilot -modes, the companion's number is shown after its name, and its row is framed in the companion list.
Inventory / item changes

The item type filter and the text filter are maintained when switching between companions. Selector position too, if possible.
When the selector is on a potion that can be transferred to a companion, the amount that each companion has of that item type is displayed on the top companion list over each companion's image.
Removed the "jewellery" item type as no items were ever added to that group, and added an own group for books.
Now that the item groups have changed, inventory group filtering also changed, e.g. devices can are now filtered with F5.
Potion of Invulnerability: no longer lists all the resistances in the left sidepanel, instead just "Invulnerability" is listed.
Potion of Life: no longer restores Health if there's a map-wide withering effect active. Can still be usable as it cures poison and disease, gives immunity to those and (personal) withering for the duration.
Previously there was a change that a regular +0 ammunition survived the ranged attack and was put on the floor, but now that happens only upto dungeon floor 5. Enchanted or special ammunition is never reusable.
Fixed a bug where the coating of a melee weapon was used even though there was not hit on the target.
Fixed a bug where companions' equipment could be incorrectly marked as "set by player".
Changing weapons through quickslots now change to the weapon's original weapon set.
Pressing a quickslot of an item that is currently equipped no longer unequips it.
Other

Fixed an autoexplore bug where it piloted through a blocked area if there was a locked door in it.
Die Hard -related bug fixed.
Fixed a bug where ranged attack line of fire wasn't properly calculated. In certain scenarious you could fire from point A to point B, but not vice versa. Hopefully it's finally symmetric now.
Fixed a bug where the command counts in the obituary didn't register certain keypresses made in the examine- and autopilot-modes, mainly companion commanding, and area blocking and unblocking.
New setting: "Autoammo default": meaning just that, the default setting for autoammo for new games.
New setting: "Auto open door after disabling lock": Automatically open door after successfully disabling its lock. The game has of course always done this, but there can be some use of not opening the door automatically, like turning off your lantern before going in, and so on.
Changed alignment of the cyclops from neutral to evil.
Obituary file now has the ascension date on each ascended character and companion.
Other small tweaks here and there, and several typos fixed.

New option on the 2nd page of companions' character sheets: "Cloud effects". Enabled by default.

When controller was enabled in the settings on Linux / Proton / Steam Deck, the game registered D-pad up and left trigger as being constantly pressed. I could only test this on Linux, but hopefully this is now fixed. (thanks for reporting: Gator for hire & Mads)
