Stable Build 6314

New features for mappers:

• Add new triggerOnlyOnce option to Dialog Cutscene Triggers (true by default) that allows retriggering the cutscene without leaving and reentering the room if disabled (map editor support pending).

Tweaks:

• Make "Only Once" (now "No Respawn After Use") Dialog Cutscene Triggers not respawn at all once triggered instead of spawning but not functioning.
• Make main menu scrolling smooth.

Bugfixes:

• Clean up writing of modsettings to hopefully prevent modsettings files from being corrupted.
• Fall back to mirror when downloading mods after certain previously unhandled errors.

Stable Build 6157

New features for mappers:

• Add priority attribute to the solid decal registry option to control the surface sound priority.

Stable Build 6129

Removals:

• Remove dependency hot loading.
  • For a long time, when installing dependencies, Everest has automatically loaded them, with the goal of avoiding a game restart. However, a lot of code mods were not programmed with this in mind, which led to two kinds of issues: Either mods would crash on late load, interrupting the dependency installation process and therefore requiring multiple restarts until all dependencies are loaded; or they would load, but work incorrectly, sometimes in nonobvious ways, leading to confusing bugs that were hard to replicate. For these reasons, we have decided to remove this feature, instead requiring a single restart after installing all dependencies, guaranteeing that they will all load correctly.

Tweaks:

• Change log level of ILCursorExtensions to Verbose to make log files less cluttered.

Bugfixes:

• Fix Tracker.AddTypeToTracker resulting in empty lists for types with specific inheritance hierarchies.

Stable Build 6088

New features for code modders:

• Add LevelEnter.OnPlayVignette event.

Tweaks:

• Show <INVALID> marker and log warning if a generated dialog key is invalid due to special characters.
• Add specific error postcard and improve logging for duplicate tileset IDs.
• Allow main menu buttons to scroll if mods add more options than fit on the screen.
• Add NoInlining attribute to Solid.HasPlayerRider, Solid.HasPlayerClimbing, and Solid.HasPlayerOnTop to allow safely hooking these methods.
• Update NLua dependency version.

Bugfixes:

• Fix music layer 3 being disabled when Seeker Slowdown is enabled (vanilla bug).
• Fix various issues with submenus.
