- If one of the creatures in a hunting group starts fighting the player, the other ones also start focusing the player and stop going toward the bait (the bait is what makes them wander).
- the RER loaded notification is now bound to w3strings. Meaning we can translate it (Request by b1ackbeat on nexusmods)
- Updated the w3strings to specify the spawning delay, it is now specified the values are in seconds
-
Version 0.9.1
- Fixes the mod menu and the and the strings. No localization done, everything is set in English for everyone. Removed unused options and changed the layout a bit to make things simpler
-
