Prospekt Source v10 Update - Total revamp news

So hello everyone. Maybe you are wondering why it is taking me that long to finish v10 update when I promised that I will release it this weekend. It is taking me that long, becouse I am rewriting PRDE from latest Miracle Reborn. Why I am doing this? One of reasons is Lumiere. She stress tested PRDE and many bugs popped up. And it is hard for me to fix them all when PRDE have that much features. Also this is next thing what I am going to change. PRDE will be now "barebone" engine. What does it mean? It will have only basic features, so there will not be ones such as pets, quests or guilds. But all of them will be available as tutorials in special forum here. So you can easily integrate quests, pets or guilds back by following tutorials written by me. Also engine will be open source for everyone. But what happens with donators who already donated and got source? Donatorship is still valuable thing here, becouse big tutorials (such as for adding Pet System or Quest System) will be available for donators only. But I will also release some tutorials for non-donators.

So that is basic info. Now some actual progress on engine. Today I worked hard on v10 update. At first, I downloaded Miracle Reborn again and started changing design and doing some programming. Here is my progress for today:

• Revamped MR button engine. Now it will be even easier to add new buttons or delete unused ones. Used same system as with GUI (made Enum ButtonType).
• Ported PRDE combat messages but made them smaller by 50% so now they are 512x512 resolution.
• Changed engine font to Calibri. This will also fix these [][][][][] messages appearing in empty NPC, item, resource and spell texts.
