Everything is an engineering problem!
Added drop shadows to the wrist UI for better visibility
Removed some old spell code from the player
Added resist and weakness to the magic effect modification types enum for better spell color selection
Started work today on optimization of the Magic VFX spawning system we have a bunch of redundant work on our effects that can be parameterized and cleaned up.
Created a struct for SkillColors
Created a struct for AttributeColors
Been quite a few days since the last update, I’ve basically been spending the past week working on performance related issues and solving issues related to a crash that was occurring on the headset due to our save plugin its just been a lot of builds one after another to try to solve the problem. Also tried to bring that other workstation online to try to create a build server no luck so far super strange issue where if we install graphics drivers the system powers off and can no longer get to windows. Doesn’t matter if its an AMD card or Nvidia
Refactored the inventory code for adding items, fixed some bugs related to marking items as stolen.
Fixed a bug where arrows couldnt be marked as stolen
Refactored the code in the ChoosebestArmor function in the bp ai parent
Added the code required to remove stacks of items from inventories, right now this is just for arrows, but can later be expanded to the alternate grip we had talked about.
Removed some old unused code for equipping armor from the inventory shelf
Fixed the bug where you couldnt add items you just took off the armor mannequin to your inventory using the A button.
Changed the way we are getting a neutral look target for NPCs
Fixed the bug we’ve been having for years where sometimes NPCs use the wrong LOD
Fixed the female scaled armor set it was using meshes scaled to fit the metahuman male for some reason

Fixed a bug where opening the inventory would throw an error about a null dialogue line.
massive list of changes, but im too tired to list them all, most important ones are that i created a new material function to help us make our colors pop on quest the colors were always super flat on mobile due to LDR, but this fixes like 90 percent of it. I also went through and optimized the entire magic system for future ease of dev side spell creation and shader performance.
