I've changed how it works without having to rewrite anything. The netx update, you basically have to volunteer to activate the Beast content with Frederick after obtaining the Card. Every player is now forced to say Yes twice before the content even activates.

No 2nd Card, 2nd Password, or anything that complicates things. You can say Yes or No to Frederick and proceed from there with a new Variable.

If you do not want the Beast content, saying No completely wipes the content from your Save.

Yeah, that works too, I just thought the suggestion of "RELEASETHEHOUND" was funny :KEK:

Will that remove the persisting quest as well?

Too many passwords would complicate things for us since we're on the downlow for Patreon, otherwise i would've used your suggestion lol.

And yeah, I deleted that first quest from the Tracker completely. Your save will autodrop it from Ongoing when the new update drops

-Added Crit Buildup. The more enemies you kill the more you build up a hidden Crit Value. The max is 30% where every 10 hits, 3 have a chance of doing Crit Damage.
-Added 5 Boxes
Killing a Wanderer, Monster Cousin, or Weird Mod will now spawn 1/5 Boxes. Each Box gives a bonus or launches an AOE for the entire area. This is too spice up current gameplay

The new update seems to crash whenever a story skip token is used, and I may be extremely dense but I seem to be stuck in the Domain where the professor summons spheres, I only do 1 damage to them despite using the easy token and heavily investing in INT as reccommended, have I missed something or am I simply bad?
Here is the Save file just in case that is useful to you.

the sphere is a "special" mission and u can only do 1 dmg.
its a time-based mission. u should be able to complete it even with 1dmg. if we allowed full dmg. u would destroy them in 1 hit.

as for the story skip I don't know why it crash.
can u say more about it. level, what u did before, what story skip did u use?

edit: u right, I also got a crash when I tried the kerning skip. will investigate why.
it seems to happen in henesys badge. the first 3 works.
will check why it happens in henesys. (the badges after also need to do henesys, so it could be that, we see)

np
also, we find out that one mission is not there anymore. most be when the writer did a cleanup. that mission was not used and he removed it, but the badge did try to run that mission (invalid) and when u try to access memory u get an error.
this should be fixed easily with a new ui_story fix update. (no need to download the entire thing) we do that when we looked into it more so everything works.
(after removing it all badges works)

Edit: I include a new ui_story1, unzip it inside data\ overwrite
this should fix the badge crash. tell me otherwise!

I think shadow knight should not use regen since he is quite strong.
I will look into it tomorrow and see if I can disable it just with a .exe release. will post info tomorrow.
