Hello, friends! A new patch marks another iteration towards an upcoming stable release. Please help us test this build and report any issues you spot.

New Game UI

• Content is now presented as Official vs Community, instead of Campaigns vs Standalone.
• Search filtering works better, can now filter by campaign names, authors.
• More consistently-styled button sizes and UI elements.
• Kingmaker, ShadowGuard and WitchesWake have been moved out of Premium into extra content on the Official content tab.
• Filled in missing screenshots on the Premium modules.
• Module sort order is now persisted to configuration
• Various text/wording changes.

Water shader

• More uniform appearance between shader quality modes.
• Improve refraction and reflection precision/quality.
• Water renders now after shadows and the SSAO pass.
• Waves more natural-looking.
• Translucence is now relative to source texture alpha.
• Translucence now shadows the surface beneath the water.

NWScript Debugger

• Added back script debugger binary into bin/win32/.
• Added configuration keys to UI.
• Fixed incorrect address parsing resulting in it not connecting. Also fixes setting debugger addresses other than localhost.
• Fixed heap overflow parsing NDB files resulting in crashes.
• Now renders all internal fields of CGameEffect.
• Now renders all internal state of CScriptEvent.
• Now renders cswysolver and sqlquery types instead of crashing in pitiful confusion.
