Together in Battle / Re: Together in Battle Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - March 23, 2025, 11:19:21 AM- a long-awaited UI improvement: when in the Reserve Supplies screen, if playing with a mouse and keyboard, you can now drag and drop items directly from reserve supplies onto specific characters! (And from character inventories back into the reserve supplies as well.) 😃
- the game now tracks how much your payroll comes to with the day log for each payday.
- if you fail to make payroll, the game now saves a separate day log recording how far short of payroll you fell.

Last post by CraigStern - March 22, 2025, 11:20:32 AM- increased starting food from 100 to 105 to avoid outlier situations where the player could run out of food shortly after fighting the qualifier match.
- fixed: the shop's 10% Weddingsday discount was based solely on the default shop price level in Challenging; it did not scale with the differing shop price levels of other difficulty settings, and so was not actually offering 10% off on those difficulties.

Last post by CraigStern - March 21, 2025, 02:12:38 PM- created a new unique weapon graphic: Samarpan.

Last post by CraigStern - March 18, 2025, 12:30:31 PM- more work on the final battle.
- stat alterations caused by a character's current terrain are now noted in the character screen.
- new script action: ChangeArmyController. Changes an army from human-controlled to AI-controlled, or vice versa. Two parameters: army number and "is human" (a boolean that can be set to true or false).
- new sound effects: Crowd Gasp, Crowd Gasp Male, Crowd Murmuring 2.
- fixed: when clicking on enemies, the game was not displaying danger tiles for skills that exclusively imposed certain status effects like Enthralled or Clouded (e.g. Mind Control).
- fixed: the terrain inspector would not display healing effects associated with terrain tiles.
- fixed: when stats got into the triple digits, they could get cut off in the character screen.
- fixed: the code which looks ahead to see if a crucial character is going to immediately die from environmental damage after the turn starts (and, if so, shut off the mid-battle save function to prevent the player soft-locking themselves) had not been updated to account for destructible objects which add environmental damage to a space (such as fire).

Last post by CraigStern - March 17, 2025, 07:28:00 PMDid some searching online to find an artist able to draw a map of Dese.
- worked on the final battle some more.
- new script action: ChangeArmyColor. Two parameters: army number and color.
- fixed: the Transfer script action would add a character to the destination roster even if they no longer existed in the roster they were to be transferred from, causing characters who fell to permadeath during the bandit fortress escape maps to appear on the main roster anyway.
- fixed: the -ATKX- and -ATKY- special characters had started each returning 0 when using skill scripts regardless of where the attack was centered.
