Version 1.4.0

Released on 30/06/2023.

Optional Features

True Invisibility

• Adjusted the timing at which the status effect invisible is removed from a character once they cast an action. This change will result in no visual difference for players, but it will allow modders to check whether a character had the status effect invisible active when they cast an action.

• Fixed an issue where once an action was cast, the invisible status effect wasn't removed if the action was a Summon or Quickening.

General (Vanilla)

AI

• Actions that can remove status effects (e.g. Esuna) and are cast automatically via gambits, will no longer try to remove permanently applied status effects from a character. For example, if a party member is using an equipment (e.g. Ensanguined Shield) that gives a permanent status effect (e.g. Poison), gambits like Ally: any -> Esuna will no longer be triggered as the action cannot remove the permanent status effect anyway. This prevents the endless loop you would usually get.

Gambits

• The following target types can now also be used for a gambit: Leader, Same Group, Ally (excl. Self), Same Group (excl. Self), Different Group, Current, Auto. All new target types were also given a proper color (e.g. Red, Blue, Purple) in both a gambit target list and gambit entry (row). Red for foes, Blue for self and allies, Purple for all combined.

• If a gambit entry (row) is invalid (e.g. no target type), it will now be colored Light Black instead of Blue.

UI

Removed the following UI fixes:

• UI elements can't be displayed outside of a 16:9 aspect ratio.

• The scroll table gradient doesn't work correctly outside of a 16:9 aspect ratio.

The reason as to why these UI fixes were removed is that they were causing other issues when playing in any aspect ratio (even if they were minor). Fixing these issues would come with some drawbacks that can only be addressed by modifying parts of the UI. These changes would go far beyond the scope of this mod which is why an improved version of these fixes will be included in an upcoming UI-specific mod instead.
