Hey. I'll be quick with the summary. There hasn't been a beta for a while, since I've been quite busy with TML & my engine, and haven't had a real theme with the commits I did for Overhaul, until now that is.

The biggest new thing is that vast configuration is finally happening on 1.4. I've implemented a new configuration design, in which it should be way easier to add new config entries. Additionally, localization is now a thing on the 1.4 branch, using the new HJSON file format (the H is for Human) available for TML. Note that there's still no GUI for configuration.

For everything else, I messed around by building a skeleton for seasons (but they'll have to wait for a TML feature that will make their implementation quite pleasant), made a basic audiovisual 'overhaul' for bows, added an alternate firing mode for revolvers, made miniguns a ton more fun (I think..), and wrote a small 'physical material' system that has let me expand footsteps in a clean way, and add sounds for jumping and stepping on gore (A 1.3 feature. I can do it, so why shouldn't I do it?)
Oh, and I fixed some bugs.

That's about it. Enjoy, and send me feedback in the Discord.
