20 Oct

Bug fixes:

Fixed auto-jump bug where an auto-jump would incorrectly trigger while riding an NPC that walked off a ledge.
When Items and/or Equipment have been randomized, fixed issue where missed steals were not being properly added to the Lost & Found. If a steal has already been missed on existing save data, the proper loot will now be automatically added to the Lost & Found when that save data is loaded.

When localizations are applied to mods, modded NPC text will no longer be overwritten for NPCs that have been considerably edited. Specifically, that is when the modded NPC has fewer pages or fewer actions on any one page than the localized NPC, or when any of the modded NPC action types does not match the type of the same action on the localized NPC.

Modding bug fixes:

Fixed bug where mods with vocab text changes didn't always apply those changes in-game unless the mods were tagged as localization mods.
Fixed Crystal Edit bug in the Vocab Model where preview text for certain values wasn't always being shown properly.

While applying multiple mods, for each mod, only the Randomizer sections that have been edited will now be applied. Previously, if a mod had edited any Randomizer section, every section (even the unchanged sections) would all be applied according to that mod's priority. Note: This change is not retroactive; older mods must be opened and saved for this change to take effect.
