- Skill bar: no art selection; slot 0 is the right-click art, keys 0-6 cast
slots directly; cooldown labels in exact seconds; slot 0 set apart.
- Arts regenerate on their own (casting no longer refills the group).
- Auto-attack after targeting or casting at a hostile creature, at the speed
of a held button.
- Auras can be recast while active (renew, no second visual).
- Blicke wie Klingen hits every enemy in range, physical, with life leech.
- Blitzschlag steers the game's own chain: 3 + level/5 hits, 1 + level/10
chains, re-hits a lone enemy.
- Weapon sets: click selects, drag only from the selected set; the leftmost
set is clickable (signed hit tests).
- Esc closes open windows before opening the game menu.
- HUD: standalone buttons and texts are centred.
- Record cache sized for widened views (town lag while walking).
- Shared game code: orders, fx events, text drawing, cooldowns, effects.

Saving marks effect objects dead, so after a load the Heldenmut /
Klingenblick buff was active but its aura effect (cObjectFX 842) was
gone. A few ticks after a save game has loaded, the effect is created
again for each such buff of a player hero (CreateAt + cEventFX 0x42,
as the art's cast effect does), with the buff's remaining time.
Shared game events (game/engine/events): engine tick and "save game
loaded" callbacks; the WASD mod uses the tick through it.

Arts with launch type 2 (buffs, auras, heals) are only valid on allies
or without a target; with an enemy under the cursor the game dropped
the order. Orders of a player hero for such arts lose a non-ally target,
which casts them on the hero. The launch type comes from the art
definition tables (game/engine/arts.h, tools/arttable.mjs).
Also: skill keys check the relocated taskbar slots (all 7), Ghidra
data labels (g_ names in names.txt).

cUI_Taskbar2's slot arrays move behind the (enlarged) object with room
for 7 each; all instructions addressing them, the relative accesses
between the two arrays, the slot loops and the count clamp are patched
from tables in game/addresses.h (belt loops untouched). Slots 6 / 7
unlock at levels 45 / 65; AssignArtToSlot accepts slots up to 6. Slot
keys call the taskbar's selection directly (honouring COMBINE_SLOTS).
Shared code: re::PatchAll / PatchInstructionByte for patch tables,
game/engine/objects.h for object, RTTI and kernel calls, slot-hook
templates in skillslots.cpp.

Weapon sets and combat-art slots 6-7 live in a shadow inventory per
inventory; the slot methods run the original code on it for slots >= 5,
so item references, icon resources and selection events stay the
game's own. Save games (cInventoryManager::Serialize) and hero files
(saveHero / loadHero) store inventories as JSON ("SRIJ" + length);
vanilla blocks are still read, which migrates old saves. Multiplayer
transfers keep the binary format. nlohmann/json fetched via git.

Raw WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP are handled in both window procedures (the game
swaps 0x8110d0 and 0x8122a0 with SetWindowLong; 0x8110d0 is the in-game
one). Bound keys are swallowed and post the original hotkey's key event
to the kernel, so F-keys work and bindings are layout independent
([keys] in sacred_re.ini). Replaces the WASD hotkey remap and the digit
swap; W/A/S/D and the digit row no longer reach the game. Skill keys
still cast through the right mouse button. Enabled switches removed.

- tools/names.txt lists identified sacred.exe functions ("0xADDR
Class::Method"); rename.ps1 / Rename.java apply them to the persistent
Ghidra project, so decompiles read with real names.
- decompile.ps1: parameters other than the addresses are named-only (the
first address was taken as -Out).
- game-input.ps1: Hold-Key for polled keys such as movement.
