AI

• Spiders have been significantly upgraded: all-new animations (including death animation), new spider types, new behavior (ceiling hang) and quieter footsteps
• Three new female characters: noblewoman, wench, and rogue. [1]
• New animations for female characters
• Lowered volume of zombie foot-drag (again)
• Implemented run animation for characters with weapons (so they don't stab their head while running)
• New "Werebeast" monster added

GUI

• A "Restart game" button now in the "Settings menu" (Greebo)
• The "New mission" menu has been greatly improved and has new features like tracking which mission(s) you played before, how long it took etc. (Greebo)
• Built-in version check, so TDM can tell you when an update is available. (Greebo)
• The "Actions/Inventory" menu has been split into "Actions" and "Inventory" (Tels). This makes room for:
  • It is now possible to bind keys for "Spyglass" and "Cycle Readables" from the menu (Tels)
• The menu now supports three ambient methods (New Horizon):
  • Normal (uses interaction shader to calculate ambient),
  • Fast (JC's enhanced texture based ambient),
  • Fastest (our original texture based ambient)
• The menu now has an "Object Details" setting, which can influence the amount and detail objects. It supports the settings of "Lowest", "Low", "Normal", "High" and "Highest". (Tels)

Sounds

• Added a new Builder vocal set -- the Strong Builder (Mortem Desino)

Textures/Skins

• A new yellow skin for the lily model has been added (Tels)
• Yellow and brown skins for our grass, as well as a dense and a colored variant of these has been added (Tels)
• Grass skins can now be used on all bush models, turning them into grass or plants with long leaves.
• It is possible to set a list of skins, from which one will be chosen randomly at entity spawn time, see: random_skin
• A few building/tree skybox facade textures (Sotha)
• Copper clad roof texture and old oxidised copper texture, good for statue skins (Serpentine)
• Two higher res loose stone wall textures (Seperntine)

Models

• Aphrodite statue (Arcturus)
• New carrot stub/turnip stub (Baddcog) and moveables/eaten versions based on them
• Gold bar model with various sizes (Fidcal & Greebo)
• a few new LOD models, which are considerable simpler (and thus render faster) than their originals
