New AAF Release Build - Beta 58

## [Beta 58] - 2019-2-4

### Changed

- Debug settings to false.

AAF Test Build - Beta 57

## [Beta 57] - 2019-2-3

### Changed

- sayTopic XML to include "sayAs" and "sayAsSource" to identify which actor to say the topic as. This is necessary for controlling the number of audio files needed to add spoken dialogue for actors in AAF scenes.

### Fixed

- startEquipmentSet and stopEquipmentSet on actions so that they don't re-apply on every loop. Helps when leveledlist items are used.

- subAction icons so that they don't re-load on every loop. Rem...

AAF Test Build - Beta 56

## [Beta 56] - 2019-1-31

### Changed

### Fixed

- Items added by animations not being removed from inventory in some cases.

### Added

- A setting max_array_size that controls what the array size limit is changed to. This is needed to acc...

AAF Test Build - Beta 55

## [Beta 55] - 2019-1-27

### Fixed

- Issue with equipment getting scrambled and disappearing. Problem was introduced in build 51.

- Issue with delayed reEquip firing even though new scene started.

AAF Test Build - Beta 54

## [Beta 54] - 2019-1-26

### Added

- Errors section to Admin panel.

- Settings section to admin panel (not for changing settings. just for reviewing what AAF settings are being used in-game)

- Log optimizations.

- Updates to the topic system. To work, the XML needs a form ID for the topic and for a unique keyword to condition each line for. See updated wiki page for more info: 2019-01-26 10:42:46 +0000 UTC View Post

AAF Test Build - Beta 53

## [Beta 53] - 2019-1-24

### Added

- Check to warn if arrays sent to Papyrus are too large.

- Equipment handling for leveled list items. Thank you EgoBallistic!

- OnSceneEnd event. This fires when a scene is over and all actors are unlocked.

- Admin mode. Just basic info there now (installed positions and plugins). Will add more data and operations (reset data, etc) here over time.

### Removed

- Some arrays (that I don't believe any mod is ...

AAF Test Build - Beta 52

## [Beta 52] - 2019-1-14

### Added

- troubleshooting_level setting. This controls which messages show as pop-up errors during gameplay. By default, the level is set to 0 which sends all errors to the log/debug window and shows no pop-up messages.

- Stability measure to allow AAF to continue running when raceData XML are installed without referenced plugins.

- Stability measures added for actorType XML with missing plugins.

### Changed

- AAF_setti...

AAF Test Build - Beta 51

## [Beta 51] - 2019-1-13

### Fixed

- Characters not showing correct equipment when forced to leave power armor during animation.

- Characters not changing equipment in cases where multiple actors in same scene change same equipment (ie. Nora and Nate both wearing "Casual Outfit")

- Redundant application of startEquipmentSet

- Showing Player Stat mode when there are no player stats to show. Now skips that mode when no stats.

- Saved actor stats not adjusting...

AAF Test Build - Beta 50

## [Beta 50] - 2019-1-12

### Added

- Routine to prevent using actor locations when they are using furniture (to avoid clipping into furniture). There are still some edge cases where AAF will fall back to using these locations to avoid errors (when all actors are in furniture and no furniture location is near).

- Ability to put "hasKeyword" in condition nodes. So, various conditions in XML can now be controlled through keywords. See docs.

- Code that should help prevent...

AAF Release Build - Beta 49

## [Beta 49] - 2019-1-6

### Fixed

- Issue with updater script getting stuck when using external save game method.

AAF Release Build - Beta 48

## [Beta 48] - 2019-1-5

### Fixed

- Small issue with updater script.

AAF Release Build - Beta 47

## [Beta 47] - 2018-1-2

### Fixed

- Issue with player actions (saving game) during PC animations was allowed when walking was skipped.

### Added

- Updater script to help make AAF upgrades be more stable.

### Changed

- Default storage method to use_external_data_storage=true. Internal storage method has proven to be unstable.

AAF Release Build - Beta 46

## [Beta 46] - 2018-12-29

### Changed

- AAF initialization to happen right after mirror scene (face modification) instead of before.

- tag XML type so that multiple entries for the same position ID merge all tags together and removes duplicates. (As a side effect, this makes using the "replace" attribute unreliable where multiple entries exist.)

### Removed

- initialization_delay setting. Not needed since initialization now starts after mirror scene. 2018-12-30 07:28:22 +0000 UTC View Post

AAF Test Build - Beta 45

- Issue with tags not being sent out with position start/change/end events.

### Removed

### Added

AAF Test Build - Beta 42

- isExit attribute to positionTree. Allows new tree branch type that ends the scene after the animation plays.

- `initialization_delay` to AAF_s...

AAF Beta 38

 *** PLEASE NOTE: This build is being released earlier than expected to be compatible with the new game version. It has not been tested as much as other builds. Also, there are no themes yet. But, they are being worked on and will be available soon. 

## [Beta 38] - 2018-12-06

### Added

- AAF_ActorLocked keyword and SetActorLocked function. A central way for mods to tell each other that they are doing something with an Actor. See docs.

- use_external_data_storage setting (false by default). The old save mechanism can be turned on by setting this to true. However, by default, AAF now uses an internal save game variable to store AAF data. A big change that needs lots of testing. Is somewhat faster. But, potentially will slow down ...
