[p]Lolis is all dressed up for Halloween and ready to ask her grown-up friends for candy! Dressed as a cultivator from a renowned orthodox sect of the East, she won't play tricks even if she doesn't get any candy. She'll simply invite everyone inside her magical artifact, filled with primordial purple qi, for a little visit~ After midnight, she'll throw a Halloween party with all the friends inside her Ten Thousand Sou—er, Human Emperor Banner~ (In the end, after a stern talking-to from the Player, she made sure everyone got home safely.)

Lolis wishes all Players a happy Halloween!

New Buff System

[p]We've added a new buff and debuff system! Some foods now provide beneficial or harmful effects, which you can view in the panel.

[/p]

Companion Tool Updates

[p]We invited the developers behind the MOD Maker and Solution Tool back to update and improve their tools. They should now be much easier to use!
[/p]

MOD Maker

[p]Redesigned the editing interface, added initial support for editing theme colors and managing fonts, and added support for animations used when hiding at the edge of the screen. Improved animation previews, image loading, and list display. Added a prompt to confirm whether to save changes when closing a window, and fixed issues with saving content, searching, and multilingual text handling.

[/p]

Solution Tool

[p]Refactored the troubleshooting tool, completed the theme, font, VPet animation, and transparency settings, and improved configuration saving, resetting, and the local MOD list. Restored integration with the save viewer, improved switching between saves, refreshing statistics, and searching, and added access to startup troubleshooting help, making it easier to adjust settings and resolve startup issues.
