A small release. The races' eyes finally sit right on female faces, and three things a controller player could not do now work: the Alfar's levitation, the Alfar's Geisli, and the Draugh's meal of bear meat (that one was no controller's fault).
Valheim 1.0 brought new creatures and new meat, and none of the mod's diets knew about them. Now the Aswid can devour them, the Draugh eats the new raw meat, and the Skeleton can pick its look in the barber's chair.
Players running certain magic mods kept reporting purple smoke around a Skeleton's burning skull. Chasing it turned up something larger than one bad effect: the mod asks the game for things by name, and nine of those names are not in Valheim at all. Each one failed without a word, which is why an item promised since 1.4 had never once dropped and a whole attack had never made a sound.
Five tester reports, and four of them turn out to be the same shape of bug: something the mod computes for everyone except the player it belongs to. The Trol's height existed on every screen but their own. The Fenrir's forms animated for everyone but the transformed player's onlookers. A truced mob took a hit personally and forgot about it one frame later.
Factions can now be turned off — in two separate pieces, because the two halves fail differently — Serpent Meat stops being nearly worthless at the Fuling bench, and a Draugh can finally cook the stuff.
One fix, and it's a multiplayer-only one: the peace every race is supposed to have with part of the world was silently failing for anyone who wasn't the client hosting the mob.
This build also swapped the Sverm's Yagluth form, which never made it into the changelog at the time — see the second half of this post.
Two versions at once, because only one of them actually shipped as its own number. v1.4.1
never got a manifest.json bump of its own — its commits rode inside the v1.4.2 release, so
this post covers both under v1.4.2's real date. Where the two overlap below, that is why.
The tenth race, a flying mount, and every existing race gets something to build.
Dragons get a sprint, a reverse gear and the ability to climb out of the sea. The Skeleton's progression finally does what its description has said all along. And three races stop being invisible to everyone but themselves.
The seventh race arrives, races stop being console-only to manage, Skadi's costs move off eitr entirely, and the Aswid's Vampiric Aura stops quietly halving its own damage.
