0.74.0

PKMN v0.74.0 Beta

Interface:

• The Esc menu is shorter: Resume, Settings, FAQ, Report a bug, Respawn, Log out and Exit. Everything else is on the new menu bar.
• A menu bar in the bottom-right corner opens the Bag, Pokedex, Community and the rest. On a gamepad, Start moves to it.
• Your HeartGold and Black cartridges are extracted again once, to give the menu bar its last four icons.
• Jumping down a ledge kicks up a puff of dust where you land, and a boulder shoved with Strength raises one too, in both regions.

Fixes:

• Fly no longer seems to freeze mid-flight or fly in twice: the bird grows out of its ball, leaves the screen and shrinks back in.
• After a door, a warp or calling it out, your follower waits out of sight and appears behind you on your first step, not on top of you.
• When you jump a ledge, your follower turns to watch and slides across after you on your next step instead of popping to the far side.

engine sha e21cdfe20d / 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.
