Musashi Story Data v1.5.0 — HQ Environment + Traversal Hotfix

Environment & Terrain Quality

• Added a full high-quality environmental pass around the castle town and surrounding authored provinces.
• Broke up broad rectangular terrain shelves with irregular low banks, softer contour mounds and more natural ground transitions.
• Added region-appropriate meadow and forest-floor treatment instead of leaving large exposed fill planes.
• Added controlled foliage, cedar and cherry growth, fallen logs and additional environmental detail.
• Added a dedicated transition layer around the castle walls so the city remains a constructed authored core while the surrounding terrain blends naturally into the wider world.
• Existing generated worlds now receive the central quality pass once, while outer province quality passes apply as those regions are revisited.

Castle Town Generation

• Replaced the old central grass-mound and pond-based village terrain with a constructed castle-town footprint.
• Added a formal street grid and secondary pathways.
• Added perimeter walls, north and south gates, side gates and corner watchtowers.
• Expanded the city with dense machiya blocks, a market ring, dojo and shrine districts.
• Added a one-time retrofit for existing v1.5.0 worlds so already-generated central village geometry can be rebuilt into the city without resetting surrounding province progression.
• Removed the old central terrain-mound generation path from the authored village region.

Wind Step

• Removed Wind Step from physical style loadouts and hotbars.
• Added cleanup for the previous Wind Step item when Duelist, Lancer or Vanguard loadouts are re-equipped.
• Wind Step now samples player jump input every tick.
• The first grounded jump arms Wind Step.
• A fresh jump press while airborne activates Wind Step.
• Additional airborne Wind Steps can be chained by releasing and pressing jump again while enough Resolve remains.
• Each successful Wind Step continues to cost 15 Resolve.
• Wind Step fails cleanly when Resolve is insufficient.

World-Entry Presentation

• Deferred first-join equipment until after the world-entry cinematic.
• Prevents item and recipe discovery notifications from being queued over the ERAS intro sequence.
• Returning-player loadout restoration remains unchanged.
• The authored 24-second MUSASHI STORY - WORLD ENTRY cinematic remains intact.

Musashi-Specific DAI Controls

• Disabled the default DAI Grave-key cursor toggle for Musashi Story.
• Disabled the default DAI menu opening from the Grave key.
• Removed Musashi Story's experience-level Companion auto-pairing request.
• The normal Musashi Story resource pack remains fully usable without automatic DAI Companion activation.

Combat & Runtime

• Retains DAI 3.6 technique routing through dai_skills / skill_cast.
• Resolve scoreboard progression remains authoritative.
• Iaijutsu, Gale Sweep and Mountain Breaker preserve the exact casting player as their damage source.
• Directional sword traces continue to deduplicate targets during each swing.
• Enemy kill progression remains tied to DAI's direct killer context.
• All eight authored enemies retain their DAI-controlled behaviors, follow ranges, disengagement rules and special attacks.

Traversal

• Retains the 5-block safe-fall distance.
• Retains the 0.5 fall-damage multiplier for mountainous and dash-heavy traversal.

Requires DAI Engine 3.6 with ERAS cinematic compatibility enabled.
