Mostly was just bug hunting today, and found some of the problems I was looking for. Along the way I started playing with some things to speed up testing and thankfully came up with some useful new options.
Most of all, the player camera can now be adjusted in two different new ways. The "targeting mode," which is enabled via the tilde key (usually above tab) by default, will now follow the same zoom as the normal chase camera, so you can move it forward and backward to your preference. You can now also adjust the cameras height by holding the left shift key while scrolling the mouse-wheel. I actually find it quite a bit easier to look at in targeting mode with the camera moved up a little bit. These settings will also be saved between sessions so if you were last playing in first person for example, the game will reload in first person.
I also added shift+interact as a sort of quick-loot for monster drops. It will also print out what, if anything, you looted on the right of the screen color coded for rarity.
There were also a number of weird duplication and/or item amounts going negative reports over the past little while here. I believe I've found what was causing them and fixed it. There were also some "out of bounds" errors I've fixed, and a lack of limestone and magical essence that I'm still looking into.
