v.1.8.2

Features

• Added SoftArmor stuff category that mod patches can use in apparel recipes

Compatibility

• Added workaround to the purple texture bug that appears when CE is loaded along with certain apparel mods. This bug is caused by an extremely outdated GraphicApparelDetour.dll bundled in some mods, which uses an archaic patching method that completely overwrites RimWorld's pawn renderer, instead of editing just the necessary parts. The solution was to detect the presence of said DLL and disable it at launch, so that all mods can properly edit the pawn renderer in a compatible way. If your mod list contains mods using this oudated file, the console log will list them: in most cases, affected mods will still work fine even with the disabled DLL, but if you run into rendering issues, tell the author of the apparel mod that if they need to edit the pawn renderer, they should migrate to a more compatible patching method, such as the Harmony library. Thanks to Dyrewulf for providing the workaround.
