-- added Ryan Richko's new battle and boss music to the game!

-- continued replacing all of the text fields in every UI element in the character creator. Swapped them all out among the menu buttons and the save confirmation element at the top of the screen.

-- the character creator now has a button that will provide you with fully procedurally generated characters and generic units at the click of a button; you can then save and use them, or else go back and edit until you're happy with them.

-- the character creator now successfully saves bio details, and the game successfully loads bio details from premade units.

-- characters created or edited in the character creator are now added to the top of the characters list, effectively displaying them in order from most-recently-modified to last.

-- fixed a formatting error in the status effects text box for the character screen.

-- improved the positioning of mouseover tooltips for skill buttons in the character and level-up screens.

[CraigStern]

-- added a new behavior for the "number picker" UI element that allows the selected number to "wrap around" to the minimum value once it exceeds its maximum value (instead of simply remaining at the maximum and refusing to increase further). Turned this behavior on for the portrait element pickers in the character creator.

-- imported some fixed versions of terrain tile geometry that ensure smooth transitions between all tile variants in all combinations!

-- fixed a few errors / omissions in the map editor's autotiling logic.

-- fixed: the player could dismiss characters from the army overview while in the shopping or recruitment interfaces, thereby triggering dismissal dialogue and effectively trapping themselves. The dismissal option is now grayed out when in the army overview in either of those interfaces and a message is displayed informing the player that they cannot dismiss a character there.

[CraigStern]

-- continued replacing all of the text fields in every UI element in the character creator. Swapped out all the text fields in the skills/tags/masteries/skill progression window, reorganized the skill and skill progression selection sub-windows with more buttons (27 versus the original 18) and updated skill button tooltips, and reconstituted the sub-window for procedurally generating a character's stats at a given level.

[CraigStern]

-- I have now, at long last, replaced every single text field in the game! God, what a pain in the ass that was. But now that's that's done, it's back to more interesting stuff!

[CraigStern]

-- created button graphics for Edit Row/Column, New Row, New Column, Delete Row and Delete Column in the map editor.

-- created the latter four buttons and stuck them in a submenu that's toggled on and off by the first button.

-- added the basic Delete Row and Delete Column logic to the map editor. It removes the clicked row or column, collapses subsequent rows or columns to fill in the gap, and recalculates the necessary tile variations to make the new tile combinations play nice together.

-- fixed a few null errors that crept in with all the UI overhauls.

[CraigStern]

-- the Delete Row and Delete Column functions in the map editor now update coordinate data for (and physically shift) units and point lights on the map relative to the deleted row or column so they remain on the correct terrain. Units and point lights located directly on the deleted row or column are deleted along with the terrain upon which they stood.

-- added Add Row and Add Column logic to the map editor. It copies the terrain in the clicked row or column, shifts subsequent rows or columns of terrain down/right, pastes the copy into the newly formed gap, and then recalculates the necessary tile variations to make the new tile combinations play nice together. It then updates coordinate data for (and physically shifts) units and point lights on the map so they shift along with the original terrain.

-- tweaked the "night" global lighting preset to make it a bit darker.

All of this looks pretty good in action, but hard to capture in static screenshots. I suppose I should do a video at some point!

[CraigStern]

-- improved the logic on Add/Delete Row/Column functions: clicking the bottom row / right column will now place the new row/column onto the edge of the map instead of placing it at the location of the current last row/column and shifting the old edge outwards.

-- made some small UI improvements here and there in the various editors, as needed.

-- fixed: in the map editor, clicking on a unit in a row or column would do nothing when in Add/Delete Row/Column mode instead of behaving as though you'd clicked the row/column the unit is in.

-- fixed: I'd forgotten to link the new New Object search textfield back to the "narrow objects" function on value change, which resulted in the objects not actually getting narrowed down as you typed.

-- fixed some gaps in the delete and add rows/columns logic that were producing range errors under certain circumstances.

[CraigStern]

-- fixed an error caused by a previous fix to the way the game handles Stunned status for AI characters.

-- fixed a null error that could show up on rare occasions during the proc gen recruitable character generation process.

-- fixed: the game would hang after concluding a character's death monologue during an AI turn.

-- fixed a bug that was causing the game to disregard the sidestab damage multiplier in some instances.

-- fixed some dialogue that was extending beyond the bounds of the dialogue box.

[CraigStern]

-- created a new window in the Character Creator allowing you to narrow down possible species for randomly generated characters before pulling the proverbial trigger.

-- the armies menu the map editor now checks for duplicate army numbers; if it finds them, it displays an error message and refuses to let the player leave the screen until it's fixed.

[CraigStern]

-- received "yelling" mouth variants for every single portrait in the game! Imported them into the game and formatted them all.

-- three new portrait expressions are now supported: Yell, Yell Mad, and Shocked.

-- added the new facial expressions to the expression chooser sub-window within the portrait builder in the character creator.

-- renamed a couple of misnamed portrait assets.

-- fixed: the portrait builder wasn't letting you choose hand poses for the shadowling portraits.

-- fixed a couple of UI blemishes in the character creator.

[CraigStern]

Gave artist feedback.

-- created a sub-window in the character creator's portrait builder that lets you select scars, tattoos, and accessories for the character's portrait!

-- fixed: wrap-around numbers on the number picker UI object only worked when incrementing upwards, and would descend into negatives when incrementing downwards.
