I've just uploaded a new update for GearHead Caramel. The biggest change this time around is the help system- while using the combat/skills interface, pressing F1 will now bring up a helpful panel explaining what the invocation you're looking at actually does. The same text appears in the mouseover tooltip so whether you use keyboard or mouse you will get more information than before.

The Wildcraft "Take Cover" ability has been changed to "Stalk Prey". While in effect, your character gets a bonus to their cover modifier and enemy units you target get a penalty to theirs.

The Computers skill now has Hacking abilities. These abilities can be used whether or not the mecha you're in has an EW system. Your Computers skill must be at least rank 3 before these skills will appear.

I've fixed a lot of bugs. Thank you to everyone who reported problems.

Here's the complete list of changes:

• Added hacking invocations for Computers skill

• Fixed gender customization from character creator

• Added skill icon for "Listen to my Song"

• Changed the Scouting, Wildcraft abilities somewhat

• Added a help key for invocations interface, which defaults to F1

• Speaking to mecha should no longer cause a crash

• Objects in temporary scenes will never be chosen by seek_element

• Locked objects will never be chosen by seek_element

• All NPCs used in combat should now be locked
