Topic: 2024/2/23 Update

February 23, 2024:
Added a third mode to the chat toggle. The new mode makes it taller.
Fixed a crash when dropping an item previously offered in Trading.
- Thanks to Xavier1 for reporting this bug!
Fixed objects randomly shifting around within the same tile as you walk around.
- Thanks to Pennywise for reporting this bug!
Fixed numeric keypad keys not working for editing text with NumLock off.
Fixed numeric keypad keys passing through for motion with NumLock on.
- Thanks to Angeldust for reporting this bug!
Fixed spell bonuses not showing up in the spellbook.
- Thanks to Beet for reporting this bug!
Fixed the same piece of mail being openable twice.
Made Spacebar cast to the mouse target when the spell targets a location, instead of to the self. I've found cases where I want to use Fireball to attack the same monster I am attacking with a weapon, and previously it fired in random directions, which was not very useful. Feedback is welcome.
Minor bug fixes.
Minor pathfinding improvement.

Does spacebar now target with skills too? That would be a big help if skills like telekinesis and animal tame would follow the mouse target on mobs/items with spacebar, instead of self

Re: 2024/2/23 Update

Right now, it does it for "Coordinate-type" targets.
My main concern with "Creature-type" targets is I wanted to be able to switch between Heal and Fireball using hotkeys, and have Heal always target myself.
But it's true that you can't use Telekinesis or Animal Tame on the same character. Perhaps it should be spell/skill-specific instead of depending on the target type.

Not active ATM but you should maybe set a hotkey for cast on self as well, when I was active I used spacebar All the time for heal/holy armor/anti magic things like that, on mouse will cast on creatures around you making it unable to self cast in a lost of cases because of the giant hit boxs, corpse build up etc.
