⚠ This release contains a new merge

A merge of sharedutils_custom_bossbar may be required. This touches a file very rarely used so you may not need it. However, you do not need to remerge the pre-existing sharedutils.

Before running this version:

This release changes how the core system of RER works, the delays now are tied to the state of your surrounding ecosystems, for this reason it is recommended to run the new command rerclearecosystems in every region you visited (White-Orchard, Velen, Toussaint, Skellige) to start fresh if you are coming from a previous version of RER (that is not a v2.6 pre-release).

With the introduction of a new slider, you should set a default value to it. Set this slider to 100 or else you won't get any spawns

This update brings two new importants features:

• Container refills
• Monster nest contracts

The container refills is a nice little feature to make the game a little more replayable. Every time you kill a monster that was spawned by the mod, there is a chance a random container in the world will be refilled with random loot. This makes previously visited places interesting as you may find new interesting loot again.

The second feature is a new type of monster contract: monster nests, i wanted to make something simpler than the regular RER contracts that are randomly generated with too many things at once. This one goes straight to the point, you pick the notice and you get a marker on the map near the settlement. Once you reach the marker you will have to look for a monster nest and destroy it. As simple as that.

Another big point of this release are the new static encounters in Skellige. The islands were not touched by the mod before, but now you can expect to see many more creatures in otherwise unused point of interests.

CHANGELOG (since last full release)

• NEW type of contract: monster nest. Simple contract with no random fluff, a contract tells you about a nearby nest that you have to destroy.

• NEW slider to tweak the delays based on the player's level
• NEW restore contracts in progress on reload
• NEW add the NPC rescue phase to the RER contracts
• NEW console command to kill the bounty master

• NEW setup fact system for the contract, don't play the kneel phase more than once

• UPDATE the strings to better show the Vanilla preset is the default preset
• UPDATE shared utils to now show custom pins on the minimap
• UPDATE the strings to remove the fact notices give more rewards
• UPDATE the symbol of the bounty master in the bible
• UPDATE guides no longer link to nexusmods for RER
• UPDATE start drawing the trail BEFORE the oneliners during the RER contracts
• UPDATE creatures no longer teleport to stay on point, use the sharedutils function that makes them slide gracefully
• UPDATE decrease the amount of clues generated during the clues phase in the RER contracts
• UPDATE decrease the distance from the board at which a contract trigger
