Gnoll Settlements and HUD Improvements

Gnoll settlements

Added Gnoll settlements to the locations you can discover in the world, surrounded by wooden palisades.
Beware of the scout on the watchtower: spotting a player allows him to alert the settlement.

Added gently animated portraits beside the player and pet XP bars.
The player display now includes your name and level. An equipped pet has its own portrait, name, level and XP bar underneath.
Talent XP bars move down to make room when the pet display is visible.

Expanded the lower-right button bar with lantern, ring-menu and friends shortcuts, with labels for the current input method.
Added a contextual call / ride pet button. Its icon shows whether your active pet is ready to ride or can be called.
Added a Button Bar option: Always, Dynamic (default) or Never. Dynamic mode fades the bar out while moving and brings it back after stopping.
Added a contextual interaction button for Pick Up, Talk, Examine, Open and Use, showing the relevant keyboard key or gamepad button.
Calling your pet now plays a whistle sound and, when no other skill is active, a short whistle animation. Other skills can interrupt the animation.

Use either the D-pad or left stick to navigate menus. Left-stick input no longer closes menus; use B to close them.
The right stick can turn the camera while widgets are open, including the ring menu.
Tap LB to open the ring menu. Holding LB continues to act as a modifier for button combinations.
Left-stick press now calls or rides your pet.
With the ring menu open, use the left stick to walk forward or backward and tap left or right to change selection. Holding a direction no longer scrolls repeatedly, and the forward-movement angle is more forgiving.
The quick-item menu closes when you press the quick-item button, then uses the selected item, with either keyboard or gamepad. A also closes the menu, like B.
Entering the character-slot panel focuses the selected slot. Browsing up or down selects each slot immediately, without an extra A press.
Switching to controller mode on the start screen focuses Play, including while connection or loading status is displayed.
In the voxel editor, move the editing cursor with the left stick, rotate the model with the right stick, and zoom with D-pad up / down. Zoom no longer requires pressing the right stick.

Replaced player pins with player icons aligned with the map, like flight-point icons.
Added a bouncing marker above your own player icon on the maximized map to make your position easier to find.

Furniture, fences and other objects that are neither doors nor windows no longer force the camera to zoom in when they come between the camera and your character.
Shortened the stack-limit notification and added the affected item’s icon. World-item highlighting now prioritizes items you can pick up over items fully blocked by stack or inventory limits.
Disabled carpets in watchtowers, including those in forts. Ruined forts no longer generate furniture, carpets or torches.
The start screen no longer shows the respawn prompt for a dead character.
