Massive update, Ive been lurking on the Git this time a lot, and seeing all the work you guys do is incredible. I even checked the stacks of scripts and lines of code which are behind each of this feature and damn, very impressive. Also seeing all the pull requests getting merged towards the end of the dev circle and than BAM, new release. Beautiful job everybody!!! Thank you, you guys work like a bunch of pros

EDIT:
Two questions for Lacus
Allow read-only flag for billboards - what is this for, should we adjust the flags in our MODs?
Travel map support for custom overlays - how can I create a new overlay?

Thank you!

2nd EDIT:
Upscalled Item maker & VMBlasts cursor! (cursor had to be added in a photoshop because the printscreen doesnt grab the cursor, but this is how it looks ingame now)

Thanks KoW! It's awesome you're enjoying the process itself as well. I also get a real sense of satisfaction as everything clicks together in the last few days before a release.

That upscaled item maker looks great! :D

I usually get a real sense of panic when it doesn't :lol:

No, it's only for loose files.

Really nice to see all these effects getting done, though the item enchanter is imba as heck, so it takes all my strength to avoid him. ;)

I immediately tested the two humanoid effects to see if they worked on humans. Like classic, they do, so now pacify humanoid can be even more weird.

Refreshing the roadmap has gone to a more-than-once-daily thing.

I'm not a programmer, but it feels like once the magic effects are done, 0.8 is just a formality and 0.9/alpha may just be weeks away?
