0.72.0

PKMN v0.72.0 Beta

Interface:

• New key items: eleven field-move Runes and a RUNE BUNDLE, given to every character at login and ready for the action bar.
• A Rune uses its field move when no Pokemon in the party knows it: from the bag, the action bar, or at a tree, rock or water's edge.
• Report a bug from the Esc menu: it sends your note and a screenshot and gives you a BR reference; offline reports are sent later.
• A friend request now pops up a notice when it arrives, and requests already waiting are announced when you sign in.
• Follow a friend from the Social window or with the follow command: you join each battle they start on your channel as a spectator.

Fixes:

• Sailing to a new region keeps your money, play time, BP, follower and action bar instead of resetting them to a new game's.
• Past the edge of a map, the scenery is now the map's own border again instead of trees drawn over water in a grid.
• A Pokemon Tower GHOST no longer gives away its species through its party icon, gender or types before you have the SILPH SCOPE.

engine sha f92546094a / asset pack 94d2e8cd9f246b4e / Godot 4.7.2 stable platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS (universal)

Client and server must share both the engine sha and the asset pack: the login handshake rejects a mismatch on either.

macOS - the first launch needs one extra step. The app is ad-hoc signed but not notarized, so macOS refuses a plain double-click with "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". Right-click (or Control-click) the app and choose Open, then Open again. Once per download; updates the client installs itself do not re-trigger it. From a terminal the equivalent is:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "PKMN Engine.app"

Keep PKMN Engine.app and the pack folder together in the same folder - the app looks for its assets beside itself, not inside the bundle.
