Release 0.3.5

Changelog for Version v0.3.5

Removed the race override / changes. The race conditions are now taken from the json SKSE/Plugins/tfs_definitions/race_faction.json.

Release 0.3.0

Changelog for Version v0.3.0

Fixes/Changes:

• Accidental Player Removal Bug:

  • Fixed a bug where the player was accidentally removed from the faction after being hit by an NPC. This no longer occurs.

• Improved FOV Calculation:

  • Refined the Field of View (FOV) detection for NPCs to make it more accurate and efficient.

• Code Refactor:

  • Refactored the entire codebase to improve maintainability and readability. This took significant time but will make future updates smoother.

• Covered Face Boost Removed:

  • Removed the max disguise boost from wearing a covered face item. Players are no longer perfectly disguised just by wearing a faction’s helmet. This change enhances immersion, as only wearing a helmet without full faction gear breaks the disguise.

• Removed Line of Sight Detection:

  • The "Line of Sight" detection system has been removed. NPC detection is now solely based on the new FOV calculation.

New Features:

• Race Affiliation System:
  • Introduced race affiliation logic with categories like 'best fit,' 'possible,' 'unlikely,' and 'impossible.'
  • You can view and adjust these affiliations in the provided JSON file here: RACE_FACTION_JSON_FILE.
  • This system allows you to play around with faction and race associations to ensure they fit the game’s lore.
