--IMPORTANT-- The save file format has been completely revamped! It'd be easier to say you must start a new savefile, but you can indeed load your old one. But first BACKUP YOUR SAVE FILES! grab em here: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Studio Aurum\Monster Crown\Resources\Saves Toss a copy in another directory. Instead of pressing Z/Accept when your file is selected, if it's an old one press F1, the next time you save it'll be up-converted to the new format and you don't need F1 anymore. Also, balance changes apply to newly generated monsters, anything you tamed from previous builds remains the same. -------------- v1.33 Fixes ----------------------- +Monsters can find an item for you while you're away (saved and shut off) +Shaved 1.5 seconds off of file loading +Prize monster duplication is fixed +Can safely set new prize monsters and cancel after a battle +Can re-enter online menu after a disconnect +battle now progresses after save +game now saves after winning or losing +Save file internal data management complete rewrite, now supports encoding +Reduced chance of save file corruption +Changed how messges are split up to improve readability of textboxes (WIP) +Teedon has been kicked out of the player's room and is now back where he belongs! +Follow monster behavior improved (WIP) +Fade to black texture no longer fails to cover the entire screen on higher resolutions +Small visual fixes to new battle screen +Can no longer walk on Dad +Added item-get sound effect +Default audio level reduced heavily +Battle sound effects now reflect audio level +If the opponent doesn't send a battle sync at least every 120 seconds the game will disconnect and end the battle +Chance of encountering Harveskin when picking up a pumpkin after leaving home +Prize monster returned safely after leaving online menu +Buttons no longer linger after leaving online menu +ID Challenge now functions properly +Tamer list building bug fixed and now back into working order +Tamer list sorting inverted as it seemed to list most toughness difference first +Scanline flickering when moving between areas fixed +Starter monster moves nerfed +Walerus's HP boosted, attack nerfed.
