Only to notify that i updated the Wilder Randomness patch.

For an unknown reason, the old version has a bug where the overworld map isn't displayed when the party is riding a vehicle, like chocobo, airship, etc.

Because of this elusive bug, i abandoned the old approach and used a new one for this patch. The patch unifies the main random number generators in one single random number generator.

In the default game, each random number generator sequentially reads from a table of fixed values based on its specific counter/index in the table. The counter value is added of the value of one in every call to get the next available number in the table.

In the patch, the unified new random number generator randomly choses one of four counters/index in the table of fixed values. Then, it increments the selected index by one and returns the value in the table position. It is a relatively simple algorithm but it breaks the sequentiality of numbers obtained because you have four indexes instead of one to get a number from the table. It is also more compatible with the game design, it doesn't mess around with the save file checksum and probably it is more balanced than the old version.
