My minions, I am happy and proud to give you Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.7.5 ! See http://te4.org/

This update fixes various things and most importantly provides new hooks and modding tools that are needed for Lost Land.

"But DarkGod please let us test Lost Land!" Actually this patch's main goal is just that! I'll wait a few days to see if nothing explodes with it and if all is good the testing will start!
Now, I already said it in the announcement of the beta but I want to make it crystal clear: Lost Land testing is *NOT* to be considered a way to get early access. It is likely to be full of bugs, unbalanced things, pain, sadness and tears. Things WILL explode and break, characters will be ruined (I mean, in a bad way) and so on. I urge you to not participate if this would feel bad for you. The only reasons I'm doing it are to see want exactly explode and to see if there is an interest for more public testing in the future.
And I will also re-iterate that the test will only be available from te4.org and not Steam or GOG (for the reasons listed above and because IIRC they don't do EA for DLCs anyway).
Now if you are still interested in testing, see ya in a few days! And if not, well I guess see ya in a few days anyway as you'll be able to get your fill of spoilers ;)

• Update Vault to check for a shield only. The action only uses the shield, so we don't need to check for sling and ammo as well.
