• special greetings should now be unlocked after o31

• fixed a greeting type inconsistency when using o31 farewells

• fixed crash in calendar when clicking X instead of a date

• force splash and script to jump to specific ch30 labels instead of persistent.autoload. This might fix issues where dialogue is stuck on show poem or similar.

• fixed issue where a bad first session type was added to calendar, causing crash

• fixed crash when loading custom music that had no tags

API Changes

• New async/react-like framework for cross object communication (MASMailbox)

• Moved Delayed Action framework to init level -800s

• redid farewell selection algorithm so it makes more sense (thanks @aldoram5 )

• the sprite system now supports separation of hair from body as well as split hair layers. All future art should use this format. This also introduces 2 new layer locations for accessories to be rendered (between back hair layer and body, and between body and front hair layer). hair following this format should be in the monika/h/ folder.

• MASMonika now has save/load functions for saving clothes/hair/acs. Use these instead of directly saving the values into persistent vars.

• added entry and exit programming points for MASSpriteBase, which includes clothes/hair/acs. See mas_sprites store (init level -2) in sprite-chart for more info.

• new historical data saving system. MASHistorySaver objects list out data that should be saved, as well as a trigger date. Data is saved when the trigger date has past. The trigger date is automatically set to the next year, which sorta means that data is saved automatically. You can also run programming points before/after the alg runs for an object, which enables us to combine this with delayed actions to reset particular event conditionals and such.

• all player model vars now have a MASHistorySaver object to save them overtime.

• file reactions now need to be specified as good/bad/netural in addReaction

• added new selection screen for changing hair/clothes/acs. This requires all sprite objects to init a selectable sprite object. Selectables are then wrapped with displayables and used in a custom sidebar screen. This may be expanded to a regular sized screen in the future. (see zz_selector for more info)
