* A hero for hire in a shop can (optionally) be given a specific

* TeeEmCee's pretty mini-map from the map-resize menu is now used for
all mini-map drawing [Ralph, James]
* General bitset to disable pressing ESC to run from battle [James]
* Bugfixes
* Temporary map state was not being deleted when exiting to the title
screen, meaning maps set to remember state would be in an unexpected
state from a previous game. deletemapstate was also broken.
[Ralph Versteegen]
* Fixed bug 257 "Mute status effect broken for enemies" [James Paige]
* Fixed bug 5 "First Target attacks can hit targets besides the first"
[James Paige]

* Fixed bug 330, "Pushed npcs are obstructionless" for new games.

Same here. I've been following the updates as I have been getting nightlies.

I hate to complain when a version is released that has so many cool new features but...
If there's an attack bitset to cancel other attacks, shouldn't there be an attack bitset that makes certain attacks "uncancellable" (not sure that's a word, but I'll go with it).

The purpose of the attack bitset to cancel the target's attacks was to make it possible to reproduce the old behaviour of damaging the Stun register, which not only caused the target to freeze, it also cancelled any in-progress attack.
But sure, a bitset for making an attack uncancellable is not an unreasonable feature request. Bugzilla it so the idea is not forgotten. |

Since the new version is out, I guess it's time to start planning the next version?
I think I'm going to see if there's a Bugzilla entry for true turn based combat. I've seen more than one person ask for it.

I think that the attacker's jump animation is definitely a lot slower than what it used to be.
It also used to be straight up?
Also, I used to use the dash-in animation as an alternate to the land animation in order to bring back the hero from his flight.
However, the dash-in from this version seems to keep my hero in the air  |

Clamps, please tell me your name is inspired by Futurama. I instantly like you if it is.

No, it has always been at a slight angle.

That is pretty weird. I don't think we touched the attack animation code at all. Are you positive this changed in voxhumana, and not in ubersetzung or earlier? |

Another false alarm from me.
I simply stumbled upon the effect of killing a foe while the hero is still jumping.
Sorry :x
[edit]Wait a second, that's still seems buggy.
Shouldn't the hero finish the animation even after killing the enemy? |

The jump animation slowed down insanely at about the same time that sound effects were added. The hero seems to do the actual jump just fine, but there's like two or three seconds between him going off screen and the jump sound going off; this is strange, since the enemies seem to pull the timing off just fine.

I stumbled about a similar bug once where the hero's animation just got stuck because the target died (or something). I could never reproduce it a second time, though. And this bug happened before Voxhumana. |

There are lots of animation bugs in the battle engine, I don't think this is new. Some examples are '' . bug_title('75') . '' and '' . bug_title('87') . ''
