The Blood Vision Voodoo spell now lets you see through walls if you have 50 Voodoo skill, and alcohol now recharges Meta. Stacked with booze's insanity treatment, this makes alcoholic Voodoo builds much more viable (be sure to get Chem Tolerance ability). Also, Man's Best Friend ability now boosts the Hound's Vitality from 5 to 20.
I have received a few saves from frustrated players over the years at the exact same location: taking the Polyphonic bridge in Ch.9. Every time I play their saves, I resort to save-scumming. Getting to the bridge door is doable, but getting vaped by the Cyber Knight's L-Blaster is unfair.
I modified the Ch.9 intro script to remove one of the Cyber Knights on the Polyphonic bridge, and replace the other one's laser weapon with a Shorty AR. This is all done with scripts, so you won't have to restart the story unless the Ch.9 intro already happened. The NIGHTMARE setup remains the same.
Finally, I got the main menu buttons translated for both Chinese and Russian versions.
EDIT: If you had to change settings in your video card settings, you may have to do it again. I updated the EXE one last time just to update the year. In the future I will only have to update the EXE if I add more script commands for modders.
EDIT #2: Also, please leave a review if you haven't already.
