EDIT - this issue is now resolved. It will no longer affect anyone new or old using the mod. Thank you :)

Hi GMs.

So sorry, but this last update had quite the unexpected side effect.

I altered base rocks and trees to be editable in GM mode and this caused any levels you had previously created and saved to lose all those rocks and trees (POOF! They are gone)

This was of course NOT intended, but it's happened and I'm not sure it can be reverted.

Q: Why did I do this? Why???

A: This mod is a WORK IN PROGRESS. It's not a final stable release (although it is getting very, very close to that). Until it is released as v1.0 and beyond it will be in a state of flux / change and things like this may happen. I will of course do everything in my power to prevent it from happening again, but what is done is done.

The reason I made changes to base assets is to give future GMs (the ones using version 1.0) more flexibility when they open an existing map made by Larian or from other modders. Currently without my mod if you open any of the default maps in the game you cannot change ANY of the major features. You cannot move stairs, delete trees, replace rocks or do any large modification at all. Your only option is to use the Divinity Editor and change a level and then save THAT level as a mod that you add to your game. And if you don't like something you have to go BACK to the editor and do it over and update the mod. It's very clunky and time consuming. My mod aims to allow you to edit maps directly INSIDE of GM mode without ever having to use the editor or any other program unless you want to.

This is going to sound crappy, but my GOAL is to make the mod better and more useful OVER supporting existing campaigns that users have been creating with this mod. It was never my intention that folks should start building large campaigns with this before a stable version 1.0
I warned everyone that this was a WIP = work in progress and I needed help testing, bug fixing and providing feedback. Unfortunately Steam Workshop was probably not a good place to do this, but it's what the game supports internally. In the future I guess I will manually upload to somewhere like Nexus or Github to do beta testing.

Having said all of that I am GENUINELY SORRY and feel terrible that I affected people's hard work and I will continue to try and find a solution to at least fix your levels you have created so far. I will post files and suggestions to this discussion thread to try and fix the damaged levels. I can't promise anything, but I will try.

Moving forward I will not edit base objects and once the full version is released in a few weeks it should be 100% stable and not cause these kinds of issues with saved campaigns.

In short I f^&*ed up. I'm sorry. I'll try to fix it. BUT my focus is on getting the final stable release version of the mod which will benefit thousands of GMs everywhere.

Thank you!
