v1.2.17.0

Improved some warning message strings.
Adjusted weapon class factors in combat speed calculation.
Added some patches to make the game handle zero-damage blows.
Adjusted some parameters related to thrust attack damage.

Fixed a wrong shield armor defense value bug in the shield armor effect calculation.
Removed unnecessary armor price modifications.

Restricted slice-through-ally mechanism: Two-handed (axe / mace) up-direction attacks can slice through allies' shoulders and arms. Thrust attacks will consider the angle of the attack and the hit body part. To do thrust slice-through, you have to aim the edge of the ally's body.

Version v1.2.16.0

Improved weapon slice through conditions, this makes the differences among various weapon class even greater. Swing hit enemy arm or neck will slice through them so you can do chain attack.

Improved game model patches to make it more compatible with other mods that modified game models. E.g. Agent stat modification no working with Shokuho in 1.2.15.0, but it works with 1.2.16.0

Toggle debug mode on in the config menu will display item id and item culture id in inventory tooltip.

Removed unnecessary item value recalculation in an old patch. So that non-crafted range weapon modification will not affect weapon value.
