November 2024: Item QoL and 8-player matches

Item QoL

There has been multiple additions related to items. Thank you to PiotrKaszuba for contributing these!

• Button to show only "locked" items
• Button to sort all items
• Display for average item level of ingredients in Horadric Cube
• Horadric Cube will now display charges and cooldowns of items
• There are new shortcuts for quickly moving items between towers and stashes. Ctrl+click on items to move from item stash to tower or from tower to Horadric Cube. Check out "Help->Basics->Controls" menu for details.

8-player matches

It is now possible to play multiplayer matches with up to 8 players. Note that 8 player matches may have low FPS depending on your PC.

You can now select team modes:

• Co-op - 2 players per team, up to 8 players total
• FFA - 1 player per team, up to 4 players total

Misc

• LAN multiplayer feature has been restored. Look for "LAN Multiplayer" button in the Multiplayer menu.
• Nerfed health of bonus wave creeps (again). Before this nerf, Medium difficulty creeps reached 10bil health at wave 360. After this nerf, 10bil health is reached at wave 400.
• Fixed tower menu UI causing big slow downs. This improves FPS in later waves by A LOT.

Bug fixes

Towers

• Fixed Black Dragon Roost tower Fear the Dark ability. This ability effect was working incorrectly: "Each creep in 500 range decreases the effect by 25%, creeps with this buff don't count". It incorrectly worked in reverse, so that creeps *without* the debuff didn't count. This bugfix makes the Black Dragon Roost less powerful against groups of creeps close together.
• Fixed Steam Engine tower Steam Power ability affecting the tower itself. It should not affect itself. The tower will now spend a bit less mana to sustain Steam Power effect.
• Fixed Harby tower Arcane Orb ability not increasing mana maximum when tower kills a creep.

Items

• Fixed interaction between Chrono Jumper and Distorted Idol items. It is now possible to store 5 item effects via Distorted Idol. In previous versions, this item interaction worked incorrectly and you could only store 4 item effects.

Misc

• Fixed range checking logic for tower attacks being off by 8 distance units (for comparison, tower diameter is 128). (@PiotrKaszuba)
• Fixed Horadric Cube's "Imbue" recipe generating items with too low level. (@PiotrKaszuba)
• Fixed "SFX on/off" setting not working for some SFX.
• Fixed issue where game got stuck after restarting multiple times.
