* Fix bonuses to primary stats being incorrectly assigned when arbitrary resource stats are used.
* Fix leaked effect animations when an effect's animation property was redefined.
* Fix invalid memory access when consuming a corpse after a map change
* Fix crash when a book has a blank text item
* Fix memory leak from dropped loot
* Fix memory leak when a power's animation property was redefined.
Translation updates:
* Spanish (es) update (Jacobo Feijóo, Julvenzor, Eugenio Martínez Seguín)
* Scottish Gaelic (gd) update (GunChleoc)
* Korean (ko) update (ks k)
* Polish (pl) update (Marcin Serwin)
* Russian (ru) update (berry)
* Swedish (sv) update (Kevin Setterborn)
Flare v1.14 (https://flarerpg.org/2022/12/10/flare-1-14/)
Engine features:
* Added 'loot.requires_status' and 'status_loot' properties to loot table definitions.
* Support '/' as shorthand for 'exec' in the dev console. A space is not required after the slash.
* Added 'spawn_level' property to map enemies. This follows the same syntax as the Power property of the same name.
* Add XP scaling tables for scaling enemy reward XP based on enemy level.
* Replace 'immunity' effects with percentage-based resistances.
* Added 'mouse_move_deadzone' property to engine/misc.txt to help alleviate erratic mouse-move behavior when the cursor is near the player.
* Alternative tab UI for when tabs exceed the available space.
* Added keybind for cycling equipment sets in reverse.
* Refactored stats and stat bonuses to use floats for fractional values.
* Support fractional values in the following:
* Combat text: 'speed'
* Engine (combat): 'absorb_percent', 'resist_percent', 'block_percent', 'avoidance_percent', 'miss_damage_percent', 'crit_damage_percent', 'overhit_damage_percent'
* Engine (misc): 'party_exp_percentage'
* Events: 'power_damage', 'chance_exec'
* Death penalty: 'currency', 'xp_total', 'xp_current_level'
* Item: 'dmg', 'abs', 'bonus'
* Map: 'enemygroup.chance'
* Power: 'requires_mp', 'requires_hp', 'requires_hpmp_state', 'attack_speed', 'hp_steal', 'mp_steal', 'missile_angle', 'angle_variance', 'post_effect', 'post_effect_src', 'pre_power', 'modifier_accuracy', 'modifier_damage', 'modifier_critical'
* StatBlock: 'stat', 'stat_per_level', 'stat_per_primary', 'vulnerable', 'chance_pursue', 'chance_flee'
* Added engine/number_format.txt. This file defines the number of digits to print after the decimal point for fractional values under different contexts.
* Add support for multiplicative stat bonuses. For example, an item bonus of 1.5x Max HP, which would be defined as 'bonus=hp,150%'.
* As such, the 'hp_percent' and 'mp_percent' stat bonuses are considered deprecated.
* Players are directed to the Mods configuration menu via a dialog box when no core mod is enabled. (kr4ft3r)
* Core mods are now labeled as such in their tooltips on the Mods configuration menu.
* Added 'resource_round_method' property to engine/combat.txt.
* Support arbitrary "MP-like" resources:
* Configuration file: engine/resource_stats.txt
* Added 'requires_resource_stat' and 'resource_steal' properties to Powers.
* Added 'requires_resource_stat_state' and 'requires_resource_stat_state_mode' properties to Powers.
* Added 'enabled' property to MenuStatBar definitions.
Engine fixes:
* Fixed set item tooltips showing incorrect number of equipped items if a set item was on an inactive loadout.
* Fixed dev console commands not working if they were preceded by whitespace.
* Fixed spawning entities not counting towards summoned entity count.
* Fix broken gamepad navigation after closing Powers menu while on a non-default tab.
* Removed hard-coded minimum values for HP/MP steal and damage return.
* Fixed "activate" message incorrectly showing in MenuPowers tooltips.
* Fix some cases where 'min' damage/absorb could be greater than the cooresponding 'max' value.
* Fixed text input issues with deleting text on Android.
Game updates:
* Fireball and Ice Bolt scrolls now give the player a 10 second period in which their basic attacks (Swing, Shoot, Channel) are replaced with the scroll power.
* Fixed the naming of scroll damage as it appears in power description tooltips.
* Lowered Lezaith's slow resistance to 50%, down from 100%
* Lowered Lezaith's stun resistance to 90%, down from 100%
Translation updates:
* German (de) update (Wuzzy2)
* Scottish Gaelic (gd) update (GunChleoc)
* Indonesian (id) update (Kirim Saja)
* Italian (it) update (Riccardi Unix)
* Japanese (ja) update (Sato Hayato)
* Korean (ko) update (ks k, YooJin919)
* Polish (pl) update (Pawonashi)
* Russian (ru) update (berry)
* Chinese (zh) update (Issac Zhang)
Flare v1.13.04
Engine features:
* Added 'bar_gfx' property to menus/enemy.txt for setting the "fill" image
Engine fixes:
* Fix crash when trying to read a non-existent file with INCLUDE
* Fix passive powers not being correctly re-applied after death
* Improve performance of WidgetListBox by caching all items instead of just the visible ones
Flare v1.13 (https://flarerpg.org/2022/01/31/flare-1-13/)
Engine features:
* Added additional requirement properties (requires_status, requires_item, etc) to enemy and NPC map objects. The properties now match what is available for map events.
* When 'mouse aim' is disabled, the Shift key can now be used with the direction keys to change the player's orientation without moving.
* Added optional 'fog-of-war' feature (r-a-cristian-93)
* Added support for multiple sets/loadouts of equipped items (r-a-cristian-93)
* Added random_status attribute to Events for setting/unsetting a random status from a list.
* Reworked gamepad handling using the SDL_GameController API.
* Several new key bindings, many of which will benefit gamepad users.
* Added an "action picker" for interacting with items/powers when using a gamepad or a touchscreen.
* Added misc.selection_rect_corner_size to engine/widget_settings.txt. This allows for a nicer "targeting reticle" appearance when selecting widgets without a mouse.
* Added 'background' property for all menus. Menus will fall back to the existing hard-coded filenames if this property is omitted.
* Added 'close', 'label_title', and 'action_list' properties to MenuConfirm configuration.
* Added 'render_layers' section to StatBlock definitions. It has the same syntax and functionality as engine/hero_layers.txt, so that file is now considered deprecated.
* Added 'animation_slots' section to StatBlock definitions. This allows for multiple animation layers on non-player entities that don't have an inventory like the player.
* Added a 'direction' property to map NPCs, indentical to the property of the same name for map enemies.
* Added 'vendor_ratio_buy', 'vendor_ratio_sell', and 'vendor_ratio_sell_old' properties to engine/loot.txt. These deprecate 'vendor_ratio' and 'vendor_ratio_buyback'.
* Added 'vendor_ratio_buy', 'vendor_ratio_sell', and 'vendor_ratio_sell_old' properties to NPCs. These can be used to override the global settings in engine/loot.txt.
* Added 'tooltip_visible_max' to engine/tootlips.txt to control the maximum number of visible floating tooltips.
Engine fixes:
* Fix enemies not being able to target NPC followers
* Fix loot and sound effects being cleared in StatBlock files with multiple sections
* Fix potential crash when removing summons that would be out-of-bounds on the next map.
* Fix bug where a damage type with no name could be removed if another damage type was defined after it.
* Don't show hidden stats under 'Related Stats' section of tooltips of Character menu.
* Fix bug where negative regen wouldn't work if the resource was 100% full.
* Fix bug where negative regen would overflow after reaching zero.
