Changelog

0.1.12

• Fixed Thunderstore/r2modman package layout: moved the plugin DLL and bundled SideLoader pack under plugins/ so Outward installs them into BepInEx/plugins correctly.
• Normalized ZIP paths to forward slashes and removed BOM from the SideLoader manifest.txt.

0.1.11

• Replaced Mana Stone with Crystal Powder in crafting recipes so the ingredients can be placed in the Survival crafting menu. Sorry again :)

0.1.10

• Renames the bundled item icon file so r2modman keeps using the package icon when the mod is enabled.

0.1.9

• Preloads the exact vanilla Runic Blade material from the original prefab so the dagger does not need the player to summon Runic Blade first.
• Refreshes already spawned daggers when the exact material becomes available.

0.1.8

• Adds an in-game screenshot to the Thunderstore mod page.

0.1.7

• Shortens the in-game Runic Dagger description.

0.1.6

• Applies the custom inventory icon through code so it does not depend only on SideLoader auto-detection.
• Stops forcing item visual creation while the dagger is in inventory, preventing the dagger from appearing under the character.
• Hides leftover dagger visuals while the item is neither equipped nor placed in the world.

0.1.5

• Updates the crafting recipe to require Rondel Dagger, Crystal Powder, and Hackmanite.

0.1.4

• Increases Runic Dagger damage from 22 to 29 Ethereal.
• Reduces impact from 28 to 10.
• Makes Runic Dagger durability infinite.

0.1.3

• Adds a custom inventory icon for Runic Dagger.
• Updates the Thunderstore/r2modman package icon.

0.1.2

• Restores the exact Runic Blade material lookup after item visuals finish loading.
• Allows a few limited one-shot material lookup retries without bringing back periodic world scans.
• Lets the saved fallback texture lookup retry during item load instead of giving up too early.

0.1.1

• Removes the periodic 0.5-second world scan that could cause micro-stutters.
• Applies the runic material through item visual processing events and short per-item load retries.
• Checks the equipped/loaded visual roots as well as the item object, improving save-load behavior while the dagger is already in hand.

0.1.0

• Adds the craftable Runic Dagger.
• Adds Survival crafting recipe: Rondel Dagger + Hackmanite.
• Applies Runic Blade visual material to the dagger at runtime.
