Newlife 0.4.15

Hello everyone!

Newlife 0.4.15 has been released to patrons and can be downloaded here. The changelog is below.

I'd normally make the previous version public at this point, but 0.4.14 is already public so there's no change there.

As usual, saved files & templates from older versions probably won't work with newer ones. 

For new players - just use one of the links to the right to get a zipfile containing Newlife. Once unzipped, you'll see a folder containing .jar and .exe files. Either one of these will run the game. 
For either version you'll need to have Java installed. A lot of programs use Java so you might well already have it. If the jar shows up as an unrecognised file type, then you probably don't. In that case you can get it from http://www.java.com/. 
The exe should tell you if you don't have the right version on your computer, but you'll still need to install java to run the game.
There's a guide for new players here which includes some troubleshooting tips for installation & downloading.

This version mainly adds more content for the BF's jerk friend. This includes a 3-event sequence of short scenes where he repeatedly tries to seduce you. 
More importantly though, if you reject him enough times your character will get fed up and you'll get an opportunity to wreak a terrible revenge.

Changelog:

Major changes & additions:

• Added some more events for the BF's jerk friend, including an option to turn the tables on him that becomes available if you repeatedly reject his advances but without convincing your bf of his jerkishness in the initial scene.

Minor changes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to OrangeJuice and Saur for reporting some of these.
• As requested by Eulexia, if no default male name is set in the options screen the male character-creation screen will now use a random one instead of leaving the field blank.
• Added a 'randomise name' button to the male character creation screen.
• Increased the weight of the jerk-friend introduction event.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Updated the userDefinedLanguage.xml file with an updated version from Rigel that supports code-folding in notepad++. Use ## foldstart to begin folding and ## foldend to end it. you can use an @tag to flag what the folding is for e.g. ## foldstart @setupCode
• New addJobPerformanceModifier(int) method added to the gameData object. This lets you add temporary performance modifiers.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Distorted Humor, MadCat and Secondarian for reporting some of these.
• Fixes to documentation issues reported by Rigel.
• Fixed a bug reported by fff where the additional NPC options were only affecting custom NPCs.
• Fixed a bug with anxiety not reducing. This was reported by several players including Flanygo who helpfully uploaded a save. This problem would occur if you had a negative skill increase, notably from the friendship effect that reduces your charm every week.
• Fixed a bug where Doormat NPCs could still dump the PC if she gets pregnant and they don't know it's theirs.

Enjoy the new version, and let me know if you find any bugs!
