What's new
- Mods can now define 'game start locations'. This is useful for total conversion mods that wish to bypass the main story entirely. If you have multiple game start locations loaded, you can choose which one you wish to play.
- Added an encounter system, enabling modders to add custom random events to main game locations. Currently, this allows adding encounters to the forest east of North Finmer, though it is easily extended to other (custom) locations if desired.
- Tweaked the in-game clock display.
Editor improvements
