Another set of fixes and changes.

Should now have finally solved the duplicate manifest issue some players experienced. Additionally dynamic movement should be back for handheld items.

Made a number of backend changes to render layers and draw distances to hopefully improve performance, while also increasing the distance at which large distant objects and landmasses can be seen.

Made a number of changes to the sail mirroring process during yard switching. Should now mirror more reliably without overpenetration.

Replaced most visible ropes on the caravel with a shader based solution. This is very much in testing, and you will likely encounter occasional physics explosions or other issues, or excessively stretchy/floppy behavior. The benefit is a reduced CPU load, and somewhat less of a noodly look for interactable ropes.

Removed the additional rope to the sail corners, replacing with a linked rope setup which is supported through the new solution.

Made a number of mesh changes to Caravel sails to reduce clipping and visual artifacts.

Ballast is now positional, and can be shifted at will. The effect this has on stability is still being refined, so you may see excessive heel or movement when shifting in some directions.

A number of small changes have been made to shadows and reflections, aiming to slightly improve performance without sacrificing quality.

Apologies for the long silence.

Smaller update today, but includes some larger features.

First off is some tuning to the sail reefing mechanic, that allows sailcloth to compress much more than previous, which should allow for a cleaner look when reefed.

Fixed some issues regarding reef calculations that would result in 0 thrust at partial reef.

Added an additional rope to the forward corner of the mainsail to allow for finer control. (In testing so not added to the rear.)

Speculative fix for some remaining cases of physics explosions when moving ropes to distant cleats.

Added a first iteration of a yard switching mechanic. Currently this can be done from the reefing winch. Simply pressing 'r' will perform the switch. Can be done with the sail in any position, but when done reefed you may encounter more clipping and depenetration jitter. Note that this is primarily to test the effectiveness of switching -- the presumed future solution will be more involved than a simple key press.

Performed a significant dejankification pass on the rowboat, though a fair bit remains. You should find more control, particularly in turns. Holding lshift, or whatever sprint is bound to will allow for reverse turning and travel. Known issues are poor performance in rough seas, and frequent bow dives that can cause water clipping and loss of speed.

You can now hold up to 6 provision/loot barrels on the rowboat, where they will snap into position, preventing most physics problems.

Have yet to determine the odd hull movements some users experience when using the map -- working on it.
