Aetherial Endeavors Fixes

Bug fixes for the Aetherial Endeavors modpack for Outward Definitive Edition.

This mod is already included in the pack. Update it through r2modman and launch the game normally. There are no settings to change. For co-op, everyone should use the same version.

What it fixes

• Trainer dialogue and animation problems, including Leo, and conflicting interactions between modded trainers.
• Banker conversations starting too early or restarting, and missing collision on the banker.
• Errors when loading areas, viewing enchantments and picking up certain weapons.
• Damage and impact preview errors, including Fulmination and Molepig Sigh descriptions.
• Broken skills, status effects and cures across several of the pack's mods.
• Problems with runic weapons, travel potions, item labels and some item appearances.
• Conflicts between Champions of Elatt and NPC Weapons that prevent certain weapon appearances from loading.
• Some shadow and sound errors while Champions of Elatt loads areas, with support for versions 1.0.5 and 1.1.0.
• Shader warnings caused by unused images in Champions equipment folders.
• A missing corruption visual used by Champions of Elatt.
• A lantern error when leaving an area or returning to the menu.

Each update includes the earlier fixes. See the changelog for what's new.

Experimental

Version 0.1.13 has passed automated checks but still needs testing in-game. Some visual, sound and enemy-placement warnings are still being investigated. This does not fix every issue in the pack yet.

The patch repairs bugs without rebalancing the pack. It does not edit your saves or change your settings.

Supported files are backed up before being repaired. If you remove this patch and want to undo its repairs, disable it first, then reinstall the affected mods through r2modman.

Thanks to the original mod authors for the content that makes the pack possible.

Changelog

0.1.18

• Addressed the reported Monsoon crash in Crusader NPC setup by moving delayed NPC retries and animation updates from worker threads to Unity's main thread.
• Stopped delayed callbacks when their scene unloads and removed unused console reads from those callbacks.
• Preserved the existing NPCs, dialogue, faction checks, retry timing and all earlier fixes.

0.1.17

• Fixed a host-side error when a co-op player tries to gather without the required tool. Tool requirements and normal gathering are unchanged.
• Prevented errors when an interaction request arrives without an available action. Valid interactions still work normally.

Experimental: these fixes passed automated checks and still need an in-game co-op test. NPC T-posing and teleporting remain under investigation.

0.1.16

• Corrected Clarity's mana-cost reduction so it uses the game's supported stat. Also updates the earlier version of this fix automatically.
• Fixed the Jinx compatibility patch missing NPC Weapons and Classfixes, so all three mods receive the combined skill changes.

Experimental: these corrections passed automated checks and still need an in-game and co-op test.

0.1.15

• Added experimental Jinx compatibility for Mendicants, NPC Weapons and Classfixes Part 3. Keeps the Ki and Blood Spear effects alongside Classfixes' version of the skill.

This still needs an in-game test, including co-op. It does not yet confirm that every Mendicants interaction is fixed. Everyone in co-op should use the same patch version.

0.1.14

• Fixed Mendicants' Perfect Self hunger reduction so it works as described.
• Restored the missing mana-cost reduction from Mendicants' Clarity buff.
• Fixed a poison-arrow recipe that could not drop from DLC Arrows outside of Caldera.

Experimental: these fixes still need an in-game test. They do not yet confirm full compatibility for Mendicants. Everyone in co-op should use the same patch version.

0.1.13

• Fixed conflicting interactions between modded trainers. All trainers, dialogue and training options are kept.
• Added more detail to enemy-placement reports to help track down remaining loading issues. This does not change enemy spawns.

Experimental: automated checks passed. These changes still need an in-game test. Everyone in co-op should update to the same version.

0.1.12

• Fixed a lantern error that can occur when leaving an area or returning to the menu. Normal lantern lighting is unchanged.

Experimental: automated checks passed. This change still needs an in-game test.

0.1.11

• Fixed banker conversations starting before you interact and restarting on first use.
• Fixed repeated setup warnings when loading trainer dialogue, without changing training options.

Experimental: automated checks passed. These changes still need an in-game test.

0.1.10

• Fixed the lookup for a missing corruption visual used by Champions of Elatt.

Experimental: automated checks passed. This change still needs an in-game test.

0.1.9

• Fixed weapon damage and impact preview errors, including Fulmination and Molepig Sigh enchantment descriptions.

Experimental: automated checks passed. These changes still need an in-game test.

0.1.8

• Fixed the shadow and sound protections staying inactive with Champions of Elatt 1.1.0.
• Made the startup checks more reliable so a problem checking these protections does not stop the other runtime fixes.

Experimental: automated checks passed. The changes still need an in-game test.

0.1.7

• Fixed a conflict between Champions of Elatt and NPC Weapons that prevented the Runic Greatmace, Runic Shield and Thermal Spear appearances from loading.
