Hey hey, everyone! We're back with another update! This is update v1.12!
I wanted to put this out before Halloween, because it's been in the works for a while and it fixes a lot of little bugs. It also makes our free Halloween Special DLC more accessible by adding a "Bonus Episodes" button to the title screen. Have you played Halloween Special yet? You should check it out!
As well as that, the update brings a couple of interesting new modding features that have been in the works for a while - new script hooks, new tags, and some important bug fixes. Recently, I've been... working on something big, for Dicey Dungeons. I'm not really ready to say much about what it is, yet. But I'm really excited about it. If you're here, reading patch notes for a game that's over two years old now, I think you're really going to like it. Stay tuned!
Finally, this update also adds support for a new language, Silesian - a minority language spoken by up to 1 million people in Poland. If you're a Silesian speaker, let me know how you get on with the localisation! I'm really interested to hear from people who try it out!
Here's the complete changelog:

Not all modding features included in this update are listed here, as some of them are still a work in progress for future updates (and some of them are, uh, secret for now!).
Modding:
- Added a number of scriptable triggers which can be activated in status effect scripts. These are: status.scriptoncursetrigger, status.scriptonshockrelease, status.scriptondodge, status.scriptonenemydodge, status.scriptonpreviewenemymoves and status.scriptonendpreviewenemymoves.
- Added status.scriptdamagemodify():Float, applied by custom status effects, which lets you modify the damage dealt by all attacks.
- "destroy" tag allows equipment to be permanentally destroyed when used.
- Support [lessthan] symbol for displaying < character.
- Don't count invisible statuses when calling getstatus(ALL) or getstatusself(ALL).
- Exposed _internalexchangeequipment(fighter, oldequipment, newequip, direction) to make equipment swapping scripts easier. (see diceydungeons/crystalweapon.hx for an example).
- Safety checks now ignore flexible generators, and it no longer warns you about _weakened equipment that doesn't have a _downgraded version (which is sometimes valid, e.g. Rusty Sword). Safety checking is useable again!
- e.dicehistory now works correctly on reuseable equipment.
As usual, thanks for playing! <3 Terry
