MGG 1.49.5 is now Available!

The new version of MGG is now available! This version continues to expand upon the new clothing system introduced in the last version. Something that was admittedly a little paralyzing about designing the new clothing system was the consideration of adding colours to the new clothing options. I saw two ways to do this, either expand the inventory system (which is so entrenched at this point I fear adding new components to it), or create new objects for every single colour or alteration I wanted to add.

Silk Socks as an item would become Red Silk Socks, Blue Silk Socks, Green Silk Socks, etc. And if we wanted to add textures or any alterations (which we do ;p) it would become Red Striped Silk Socks, Blue Striped Silk Socks, Green stripedsilksocks etcetc ad infinitum. And that's just one item.

But I found a smart way to work around this problem. Instead of wasting insane amounts of time or just having all the clothing be white, I designed a way for each equipment slot to be dyeable itself. This way you can apply dyes to individual Monsters, be able to move clothing pieces between Monsters without worrying about the colour scheme each time, as well as solving the aforementioned item permutation problem.

This new data will be stored inside the Monster inventory system itself, as palette and pattern integer options. There's also two new inventory slots added in this version; body and legs, as well as a new clothing option for each slot. These are mostly tests to begin to see how well they work and how future clothing options could be optimized.

Despite all this, I'm still not happy with calling this version 1.50b yet. So instead I'll be dedicating the first week or two of June to continuing work on MGG and filling out 1.50b properly. There's lots of bugs I still want to address (Autocleaners being at the top of the list!), and a few more things I want to add to the clothing system.
