Version v0.15.0

New feature(s)

• Cobalt will now load .lua files at the root of your mod and execute them when entering the Somniel (more specifically, when MapOpening is executed).
  1. These files need to be unbundled, and the filename of your script will be used to call the function (Example: mymod.lua will call function mymod() in your script).
  2. The function HAS to be present, with the same capitalization.
  3. Include() and all other commands are allowed
  4. Separate functions in the file being called by your main function are allowed
  5. Try to come up with a unique name, as conflicts are not allowed/handled
