enlit3d - HeroineRumble2 v0.39 - its here!

In addition to the custom events/dialogues/scripts in the preview build, this patch implements a bunch of smaller things that were requested. Including pin customization, grab climax fallback options, bug fixes, mod loading issues and a balancing pass + AI tweaks.

The custom events/dialogues/scripts support took a lot of work, but it is a major modding milestone in my opinion. It should enable a whole new class of mods, and I can't wait to see what players will come up with.

Going forward, the next release will be a "HRT2" patch with a popular feature: out-of-combat *interactions* with your party members / other characters ;)

Changelog:

Added custom events/dialogues/scripts support (details omitted)

Added Pins customization in H-Lab

Added 5 new pins to select from

The default Grab Climax Fallback is now "speed_only_faster"; the default in previous version is "speed_and_snap"
