Lots and lots of changes in this Major Update! Read below for a full list of all the new content. I wanted to get in some new events, and also incorporate a lot of event images that we ended up not using for years that we had lying around since launch. There's also a new system for CRITICAL HITS that a new Perk and an old Trait uses, 4 new rare characters, Fire Extinguishers, and more! Much of this new content, such as the new characters and fire extinguisher, the perks and traits, and even many of the bugfixes was provided by Arq, a modder on the Official Rocketcat Discord. Check out the #deathroad-modding and #mod-showcase channels for more mods. I am entirely to blame for most of the new events. Direct complaints below or in the Official Discord, #complaints-against-kepa (our most popular channel!) Coming up: I'd really like to get out another, small content update. I'll make a post for some rough plans for this and other news in about a month!

[*]AI Followers can now pick up and throw Zombies on their own [*]OBAMA is now case insensitive(!) [*]Shorter version of zforecast, called zforecast-short, added to the Canada Crossing Event.

We had to separate these because there were so many characters in one scene that it was causing problems [*]Better stack handling/error preventing in Familiar Hut [*]Tweaked where the bonus loot Perks give you the bonus loots after Familiar Hut and OPP, to prevent possible exploits [*]Fix for OMENT-secretdoc leading to the wrong event with picking 4 people [*]Fixes for special character despair events for characters that didn't have one [*]Removed some extraneous duplicate image calls for several old events [*]Fixed some old events that had their images not show up due to a bug [*]Fix for an all-buddies-dead join crash [*]Center the window after creation, to avoid some weirdness on older SDL versions [*]Better dead loot/weapon text updates in trunk screen when driving or in mission [*]Potential fix for character statmod icons/descriptions not displaying if mod ID over 31 [*]Check word "someperkchecks" for Ultrafit, Healthcare, and Gun Collector perks to not give you supplies unless you actually recruit the recruits [*]Bow and Pyro regen events moved a bit to play nice with Back to the Wall, along with adding it to Dailymedic [*]Fixed some weirdness with blurbs leaving a bunch of stuff on the stack, but this may still happen [*]Fixed a bug that caused the game to forget a character's .skeleton_spriteid when saving and loading a game [*]Fixes for some old camp event CYOAS [*]Santa event fix [*]Fixes for BURN UNIT when you pick from 4 people [*]Fix for an incorrect link when picking from 4 people in the Chessmaster Event [*]Fix for Apocalyptic Coffee event if you were a Dog or Cat [*]Fixes for special character despair events for characters that didn't have one [h2]Note for Modders[/h2] [*]EXPERIMENTAL: If you fill up the game's atlas size, it should now double in size automatically on Windows. Let us know if this works! This shouldn't change anything with the normal game, unmodded [*]MODDERS/MYSELF: Extra comments added to old files so I don't forget basic things like "how do event card draws work [/list]
