GNX v1.4.6

Game version: 1.39

What's New

XL Cells

150px wide cell type. Mods opt in with "category": "xl_breed" in cells.json.

Shrine monster sprite overrides

Replace goblin, hobgoblin and ogre sprites on the shrine per class via mon_spr_overrides. Background, dirt and sign are also replaceable.

Chains ogre body override

Replace the ogre body on chains per class.

Cell patch merging

Multiple mods can now patch the same vanilla cell without overwriting each other.

Performance

Camera-based culling on all major instance types. On a 74-floor save with nearly 5000 slots, only the ~100 visible ones actually run each frame.
Slot, monster, button, and empty instance culling (Draw + Step)
Ambient speaker scan throttled to every 15 frames

GNX v1.4.5

Game version: 1.39

What's New

Multi-Monster Cells

Cells can hold multiple goblins now. Set max_mon_num in physical to spawn 2+ monsters per cell. mon_placements controls which species go where, mon_positions gives you per-slot visual offsets, and mon_spr_p1/mon_spr_p2/etc. let you override sprites per slot.

Tower Boss Support

Modded classes can show up as endgame tower bosses. Add a tower_boss_condition to your class in classes.json -- works with state_equals, has_unit, quest_complete, whatever fits. When the condition passes, your class becomes eligible for floor 1 and endless tower encounters.

Locked Cells

Gate cells behind quest rewards. "locked": true in cells.json keeps it out of the build menu until you unlock_cell it through a quest side effect.

Fixed-Mode Sprite Overrides

by_class and by_mon_type overrides now work on fixed-mode cells. Swap the whole spr_array based on the occupying class or monster type. Stack both for class + monster combos.

Bug Fixes

• Invisible last goblin on pleasure and tittyfuck cells -- big fix across sprite dispatch and draw code
• Forward-compatible version matching -- mods targeting "1.39" now work on 1.39.x patches, no manifest update needed
• spr_data initialization for modded cells
• start_frame defaults on multi-phase cells
• Multi-slot unit removal when cells have 2+ monsters

Docs

• Modding docs updated with everything above
• New tutorial sections for tower boss and locked cells
• Example mod now covers multi-monster cells, locked cells, tower boss conditions, and by_class overrides
