Female Character Refactor
For anyone that had assets dependent on the female character skeleton please refer to Legacy Female Armor Conversion
Fixed "default buffs" not stacking from multiple mods when they use the same class for matching
The following properties have been exposed to blueprint. They are limited to read only because these properties are volatile and frequently overridden by native code when in use
PrimalCharacter->bIsBuffed
PrimalCharacter->BuffedDamageMult
PrimalCharacter->BuffedResistanceMult
Inventory Components can now "impersonate" a different owning actor class. This should allow mod structures/dinos to get any "AdditionalStructureEngrams" entries from other mods. For example, all modded smithy versions can get all smithy engrams from other mods that try to add to the vanilla smithy structure.
On your custom inventory component blueprint, implement the "ImpersonateOwnerClass" function and return the class of the structure you want it to impersonate. (Not the inventory class of those actors, but the actual actor class)
Buffs can now override the HurtFX based on victim/attacker information.
PrimalBuff->OverrideHurtFX
PrimalBuff->OverrideAttackerDamageImpactFX

Fix SP Mod load ordering
Two Curseforge Categories now have special handling
Custom Cosmetics will never appear in the host session UI and do not merge like normal mods. Only use it for the Custom Cosmetics System

Added Custom Cosmetics system

1 Mod Source Added as example (Super Steamboat Willie)
Fixed seamless travel
Added Mod filter to the server list on client (not really a devkit change but good to be aware of)

Fix the big empty gap on the hostsession UI when hiding a mod from SP
Added the ability for mods to disable the non-dedicated button on the hostsession UI
This does not actually disable nondedicated support, just disables the button. Super Steamboat Willie manages it's own nondedi support
User can now uniquely hand multiple unique users from the dedi/client bat files using the following
start Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor.exe "ShooterGame/ShooterGame.uproject" 127.0.0.1 -game -userid=AnotherArkSurvivor -log -NoTimeout -EnablePlugins=DinoDefense
Please note that there were a number of shader changes, and mods may have been observed to have been impacted by them. if you notice issues with materials being incorrect or just invisible, please recook your mod
Mods can now include and use bink movies in their projects
All bink movies (.bk2 files) MUST be located in the Content/Movies directory of your mod
Mods can now override the loading screen by including a bink movie explicitly named LoadingScreen.bk2
It MUST be located at /Content/Movies/LoadingScreen.bk2 in your mod.
First mod in load order has priority for loadingscreen override

Mods can now set a mod Icon that will be displayed in the pause menu and spawn screen. (First mod in load order to use it gets priority)
OnInventoryItemRemoved & OnInventoryItemAdded can now be enabled using UseItemQuantityUpdateEvents
Server/client scripts should now be usable with mods.
In order to use the standalone server/client scripts you must add -EnablePlugins=HereAMod,ThereAMod,EverywhereAModMod to the server launch arguments. Using the actual name of the mod plugin and not the mod ID.
It is also currently necessary to have the server use a map that has the desired mod PGD already linked (If applicable)
The WorldPartitionDuplication commandlet should now be able to duplicate TheIsland_WP without crashing.
There will be many errors in the resulting duplicated level, this is expected as it will not have duplicated the additional levels
Added an ExtraResources array and ExtraResourcesSoft Array to the mod data asset
Significantly increased the UObject limit in editor
Fixed a few errant crashes that could occur during cooks due to ensure macros
Added support for Structure Skins
Please refer to the following Blueprints as examples
/Game/PrimalEarth/Structures/Skins/Thanksgiving/TurkeyTrough/PrimalItemStructureSkin_TurkeyTrough
/Game/PrimalEarth/Structures/Skins/Thanksgiving/TurkeyTrough/StructureSkin_TurkeyTrough
/Game/PrimalEarth/Structures/Skins/Thanksgiving/TurkeyFryer/PrimalItemStructureSkin_TurkeyFryer
/Game/PrimalEarth/Structures/Skins/Thanksgiving/TurkeyFryer/StructureSkin_TurkeyFryer
Added additional debugging support to aide investigation of cloud cooking failures
Servers now support the use of -MapModID=####### in the server commandline arguments.
Make sure to completely remove the map name (e.g. TheIsland_WP) from the start of the commandline arguments when using -MapModID. Any explicit map name will take priority over the use of -MapModID.
Using -MapModID will first check the entry_map.txt value for whatever map the mod author has set as the appropriate main level to load for the map. if the entry_map is not set it then attempt to use the current default loading behavior seen in singleplayer when entry_map hasn't been set, loading the first map that the game finds in the plugin.
