》Patchnotes:

Features:

• Added swimming: The animation will be triggered when entering water.
• Added the FeralPainter to FeralIsland. You can select the painter in the main menu. You can also press 7 in the main menu.
• Added a gender toggle to the painter. Male and Female Felkin share the same UV.
• Added paintable male & female bits! You can toggle male bits with the newly added "sheath creature detail" button.
• Added some tool labels as a little QoL feature to the painter.
• Added a live UV-Paint view to the painter that shows real time changes to the texture.
• Added masking. You can now select between different masking layers to prevent painting over other parts of the creature.
• Added a slider for brush size.
• Added a slider for brush opacity.
• Added a slider for brush hardness.
• Added a slider for smudge size and strength.
• Added a live fur paint mode.
• Added a lighting toggle.
• You can now save & load textures. You can find the saved textures in the Exported_Felkin folder. You can rename blank.png for multiple felkin textures.
• You can now exit the application by pressing the exit button or by pressing escape.
• Updated the water system and added depth fog and under water effects. There was also a ripple effect if you are getting into the water.
• Added better ripple and foam control. The particles are now only enabled when the player Felkin is in water and close to the water surface.
• Lowered the icon size to make room for more tool icons!
• Textures now correctly share common texture data between multiple models. Male, Female and male genitals are all different models but painting those will now use a correctly merged texture slot that now is exported into a single .png file by pressing the save button!
• Added the "Load Custom Texture" mod to the modding menu. You need to enable the "Load Custom Texture" mod to use any .png file as a custom creature texture. At the moment it is recommended to use only textures of a 2048x2048 pixel size. At the moment, only one texture can be loaded at a time. But I am planning to allow multiple textures to be loaded in the future.

Changes:

• The camera clipping was improved to prevent the camera from peeking through the surface.
• Your tail raises quicker, when you attract NPCs.
• Better transition to the laying down state while attracting.
• Water ripples are now turned off when not moving/swimming.
• Paint changes are now calculated every time the mouse is moved or pressed instead of every frame. This is both a performance improvement and an improvement for handling different brush opacities.
• Texture changes when painting in fur mode appear quicker now.
• Nearly halved the Feral Painter file size.
• Texture changes when painting in fur mode appear quicker now.
• Nearly halved the Feral Painter file size.
• Lots of minor QoL improvements.
• Saving a texture with the FeralPainter does now store the texture file inside the "./Mods/CustomTexture/" folder.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug in which attracting a laying NPCs would break the mating logic.
• Fixed a bug in which attracted creatures had a wrong state flag which caused them to be not attracted properly.
• Fixed a bug in which it was possible to raise tail while walking.
• Fixed a bug in which the laying flag was still set while moving.
• Fixed a bug with a wrongly set sprinting flag.
• Fixed a bug in which seams were visible.
• Fixed a bug in which the fur texture was too dark because it was not using linear rendering.
• Fixed the text label of the fill tool.
• Fixed a bug in which the dev island 2.0 was loaded instead of the character selection when 0 or 6 was pressed.
• Fixed a bug in which painter tool-tips were enabled on scene start, even when no tool was selected.
• Fixed an issue with the collision detection when painting the crotch area of a Felkin.
• Fixed a missing "2 bulls 1 cow" fur bug.
• Fixed a big with disappearing and flickering shadows.
