The Lycan ABS

Be that as it may, it is time to do the BUMP!!!

THE LYCAN
ABS
Version 11.3

And with that, the names of Davesss, DrHouse93 and flynnmichael81 are now part of the credits...

A good number of changes were made.  Wanna know what they are???

1. A repair was made fairly quickly which allows 8-directional missile fire when not using Frank's MultiPose Charactersets for the Lycan ABS*.  While unnecessary with Frank, it was necessary to adapt the system to let missiles move in diagonal motion.
   
2. Revised handling of companion move rates, making them and their status ailments separate from that of the lead party member's.  The only thing shared between the player and companions is if the player is either dashing or sneaking.  Move rates are adjusted accordingly. **
   
3. Addition of enemy move rates based upon map-based status ailments.  These were completely missing prior to this version. **
   
4. Creation of Slowed/Hasted move rate values for enemies (related to enemy status ailment handling above).
   
5. Inclusion of Mute/Confuse/Paralysis/Delay effects upon companions and enemies which prevents the use of skills and items as they affect the player. **
   
6. Altered the Dash and Sneak code into smaller modules, some code now placed within separate Player and Companion pages of the Game_ABS engine.  Code is now smaller and more accurate.
   
7. Creation of subroutine in ABS refresh system which re-loads and creates on-map enemies.  The subroutine reduces line content by approximately 20 lines.
   
8. Creation of new 'refresh' option for enemies, permitting enemy hate group to re-detect potential targets from their hate group.  This can make enemies less single-minded towards attacking only one target and permit them to strike at targets of opportunity.
   
9. Correction of companion's fully solid death effect.  A simple fix.
   
10. Correction to fault in On Map Battle Music system.  It didn't properly sort out enemies excluded from playing music from those not excluded.
    
11. Correction to fault in Weapon Ammo system:  Missile weapons that use Ranged-Item ammunition now uses the range and speed of the item ammunition as it was meant to.
