We're shipping build 8181 to Stable today. This is the same build that has been on the Development branch for a short while now.
If you'd like to stay on 1.76 until your favourite persistent world has migrated, please select the "oldstable" branch in Steam.
For a full changelog compared to 1.76, read on.
Client Changes
Features:
- Three new player-selectable portraits; Heavyline, Skandii, and Lanteri.
Fixes:
- We fixed certain armour pads (specifically, belts and shoulder pads) disappearing when re-equipping a item.
- We fixed a floating point inaccuracy that made the player character skew aside ever so slightly when WASDing.
- The conversation UI has been fixed to not shift off screen when using UI scaling and having the Inventory/Char sheet open at the same time.
- We fixed a double-free in the PLT system, which has lead to crashes when multiple objects with the same texture would show.
- We fixed held equipment not becoming transparent when the character model did so (for example, when casting Invisibility.)
- The game now asks you for a CD key, instead of erroring with a confusing message, when Steam CD key retrieval fails for any reason.
- HW Mouse is now the default on Linux, as to avoid WindowManager-related mouse click point offset issues resulting from UI scaling.
- We made all DLC portraits now show up for character creation in all modules, regardless of portrait.2da entries.
Content Creation Changes
Features:
- Toolset: The script editor now shows variables and constant declarations on double click.
- Toolset: The recent modules list has been expanded to 10 entries.
- Toolset: The compiler include limit has been bumped to 128.
Fixes:
- Toolset: Area ambient sounds and music has been brought back to life.
- Toolset: We removed the requirement that the mouse be over an object to translate it on the Z-axis (with Alt+Left Mouse Button).
- Toolset: The tile properties light select color UI is no longer truncated when using windows-native screen scaling.
Server Changes
Fixes:
- Server resource management on Linux in certain memory configurations has been fixed.
- Crashes in nwscript functions resulting from bad parameters have been addressed: CopyItemAndModify, GetNearestCreatureToLocation
- A crash when reloading LTRs was fixed.
- Linux only: Database names are now case-insensitive, so DestroyCampaignDatabase() now works as expected.
- Linux/Mac only: We fixed the server spinning a thread needlessly if stdin gets closed.
