Fixed

• Soft step made you easier to see. Stealth in Valheim is a multiplier on how far away a creature spots you while you crouch, so lower is better, and Soft step added to it. A fully carved Soft step could have you seen from up to 40% further away while crouching in the dark or at a higher Sneak skill, and it never helped. It now takes 8% off that distance per rank, as the tile always claimed. Quiet wake's capstone had the same mistake and is fixed the same way. The tile now reads "sneak visibility", since "-40% stealth" would read as a loss.

• Three running discounts did nothing. Tireless's per-rank running discount, Long wind's capstone and Long stride's capstone all changed a stat the game never reads. Sprinting is charged through a different one, and all three now use it. Tireless's capstone was already on the right stat, so it now stacks with a working 5% a rank.

• Quick draw did not speed up drawing a bow. It sped up the release, because swing speed is the animation and a bow's draw is a timer the animation never touches. A bow now reaches full draw 3% faster per rank, and damage, arrow speed, the reticle and the bow's bend all follow. On a crossbow it still speeds up firing, not reloading.

Changed

• The rists panel stands the runestones in ættir. Combat, Survival, Endurance, Stealth and Utility: towers two stones wide under a heading and a carved count, side by side. It fits the screen it is on instead of being a fixed width, so it no longer runs off the bottom of a short window, and a new ætt adds a tower to the right instead of a row. On smaller screens it tries smaller stones, then lays the ættir down, and only then drops the value line from the tiles; it never scrolls. The stone the column beside is describing now has its name in gold, and that column names its ætt.

  discuss

• PanelColumns is gone, since the panel works out its own layout. PanelBottomInset is new: set it if a taskbar covers the bottom of the game window. It stays your own setting on a server. An old cfg keeps the PanelColumns line, which does nothing.

  discuss

• The labels in the column beside the stones are 12px, up from 11.

  discuss

• cards.txt is regrouped under ætt headings, so client and server need the same build. No runestone's id changed, so every rank is kept.

  discuss

• Weatherly's tile reads "-6% dead zone" rather than "+6% sailing into the wind", naming the black arc on the wind ring that it actually narrows.

  discuss

Added

• Rist warns at load if a runestone names a stat the game never reads, or gives a stat where lower is better a positive value. Both mistakes load cleanly and show a believable number on the tile, which is how these shipped.

  discuss

• AttackSpeedMax now also caps how much Quick draw shortens a bow's draw, and its description in the cfg says so.
