v1.1.12: Awakening rework, Team Corner overhaul, and playtest fixes

[binary-knight]

Version 1.1.12. Release notes: DOCS/release-notes/RELEASE_NOTES_1.1.12.md; Steam text: DOCS/release-notes/steam/STEAM_RELEASE_NOTES_1.1.12.txt.

Changes

• Awakening:
  • Stages are reached by points: moments 3, Wave Fragments 2, distinct insights 1. The thresholds are 4/12/22/34/48/62; stage 7 also needs all seals or the revelation.
  • Insight ids are saved. The seven moments that were never recorded now are, and MemoriesRecovered is reachable (4).
  • A framed AWAKENING screen shows each rise at the location loop's safe point. There is a first-login line and a one-time hint.
  • [P] Progress shows the stage out of 7, and [J] opens the Ocean Journal.
  • Stage gifts are derived from the stage at run time, never saved:
    • Wisdom, max HP and max mana through the stat recalculation;
    • damage dealt, damage taken and combat XP through the same sites as the Team HQ bonuses.
  • The stage is stamped on the character at run time, so grouped followers keep their own. A duel defender is stamped from its own saved story data (the maintainer's design choice).
  • Story chapter 1 is "The Drowning".
• Team Corner:
  • A shared paged picker (BaseLocation.PickFromList) for Info, Join, Examine, Sack, Equip, Specialize and Resurrect.
  • The rankings read the saves in one pass (about 6 s down to 0.1 s on a copy of the live data), with real power and levels, mixed teams, and empty teams hidden.
  • Fixes: the password hash (leader only), dissolve clearing upgrades and vault, create clearing leftovers, case- and accent-insensitive names, stale NPC re-lookups after a roster reload, war expiry and guarded settlement, vault deposit ordering and capacity, guarded upgrades, the gear-move save order, and a five-member limit with dead members holding their place.
• Playtest fixes: the world event reward label, cursed item tags and confirmation, the one rest per floor (saved with the floor), a lives hint, the stamina bar for casters, gear comparison for dungeon finds and the merchant, and the training, auto-combat and world-events texts.
• Other:
  • NPC teammates no longer attack their sleeping player (the team path was $.Player.Team).
  • Gold transfers are delivered to the playing character's save key, so an alt's wires and refunds reach it.
  • The admin deletes read a banned character's Name2.
  • The delete purge keeps mail to a name another character goes by, and drops the deleted payer's claim on an unfinished war refund.

Known and unchanged

• Two simultaneous joins can take a team to six (membership lives in the saves).
• Two processes recovering the same NPC's gear at once (the shared NPC record has no owner process).
• A crash mid-deposit loses rather than duplicates the gold.
• A fought war whose completion fails is abandoned with nothing paid.
• Existing case-variant team names stay separate.
• The es/fr/hu/it Awakening text awaits a native speaker's review.

Listed for 1.1.13

• Equip Best removes the first same-name backpack item while giving the stronger one.
• The delete purge's sender mail clause removes mail sent by a living character whose display name equals the deleted account's username.
• The Home and Inn character equipment screens and the Dungeon party equip menu lack the take/give save order.
• The throne challenge looks a player king up by display name as a save key and falls back to a stand-in.
• Deferred from 1.1.11: NPC grudge and marriage clean-up on deletion, and a stale save restoring a deleted king; both need an owner-process design for shared records.
