Explorer! Patch 2

Important update:

Please redownload the patch!

Hello everyone!

I've been mentioning this for a couple of days now, and finally it is ready: The next patch for Explorer!

This patch fixes many of the bigger annoyances people seem to be having.

To install:

Overwrite the contents of the main download with the files included in the patch.

Changelog:

• Added a Compass that can be used in the world
• Chance of encountering either parties or animals, so you won't aggro parties while hunting.
• Party members will help player when hunting
• Added fadeout to leaving town scenes
• AI parties now (almost) always travel towards the nearest parties (as determined by a few factors)
• Tons of backwards compatibility with non-WSE version, mostly just replaced errors with messaging telling you to use WSE
• Mountains have been temporarily removed, random scenes are much much flatter.
• 'Sleep' no longer crashes on non-WSE version
• fixed numerous other crashes
• Townsfolk are more likely to lead you to destinations on request (still not 100%)
• Items picked up or horses mounted (that are not in inventory) get added to inventory. The execution is still a little awkward, but for now it works.
• Much higher chance of getting loot from killed enemies
• Added Native arena battles to town arenas (just for fun)
• Fixed male character hair/skin colour - still needs 2nd pass
• Changed starting equipment a bit just for a laugh
• New launcher logo, Autumn Forest by Martin Stankewitz (a.r.r.)
• Manhunter armour changed for each 6 factions, for some more variety.
• Other bugfixes

What's next:

This should be the last patch for the Demo, unless I have broken something here. I am going to start tackling some larger problems, so the next couple of weeks might not see too many updates. However, work on the mod continues! I've been completely bowled over by the support I've received so far. For a fairly simple demo, this mod has already gained more traction than I could have anticipated. So: Thank you to everyone who has played the demo! Seeing so many people playing and talking about Explorer is just unbelievable.

With that being said, don't hesitate to make the jump and support the mod even further with a small donation! A little can really go a long way. You can support me on Patreon or you can send me your e-mail address to make a donation through PayPal. I am trying to put back about an hour of work per dollar received into the mod, which seems like a good deal to me! (maybe not "for" me...)

Big thanks to everyone for the amazing kindness you've shown me so far.
