1.3.27 Release To Do List

[Silverfang22]

Changes planned for v1.3.27

New Features and QoL Improvements

• Display shop timer in shop UI so user's can tell when the shop is about to refresh.
• Allow quantity/stack items to be sold one at a time/add sell all button.
• The current item selected in the shop is deselected 300 ms before refresh occurs to prevent buying the wrong thing.
• Reimplement Buyback, there were several problems in the original implementation but the idea is probably still okay. See: Full Sellback #271
• Weapon firemode descriptions include ammo type #354
• Launcher firemodes point the weapon upwards, but the projectile still fires straight #416
• Can't view inventory item details from shop menu, only shop item details (future)
• splash damage that can only hit a certain number of targets and plays an effect between damage location and target (Doom BFG-esque, but with line effect)
• Chain lightning/chain effects for ammo (related to above).
• New shield colors (RGB?) and shield color change depending on how low shields are (maybe flicker-effect?)
• Add bubble shields efx
• Activatable shields (use ACI key shield is bound to to activate a special effect)
• Add booster shields
• Add handheld shields (Gungan shield)
• Additional overheating effects: red barrels and steam noise from rainy environments when overheated
• Attempt to do overheat efx by drawing a bezier
• Improved ammo overrides (for example allow overriding shots per clip, or overheating properties)
• Allow hold-to-crouch to un-crouch the character (when released) when crouch is toggled on. #357
• Grenades are spinning when they're on the ground and no longer bouncing, check last bounce height if less than 1, stop bounce?
• FL_BUSYMODE enabled for players who have menus like inventory, or esc menu open, or are hacking or playing slice.
• add lua commands for checking the players model, gender, etc.
• Reloading typically feels way more advantageous when overheated compared to switching weapons / waiting it out. 6bc9a7a slightly addresses this, but it is somewhat of a cursed design issue. Needs discussion.
• Play an animation when equipping armor, possibly definable in .arm file? Default animation based on armor location
• Switching ammo types is painfully slow #360
• Decouple or "queue" switching firemodes from firedelay. You should be able to switch firemodes immediately after you fire a shot instead of having to time it after firedelay
• New trip mines, such as poison, cryo, plasma, and embedded turret mines.
• Reset shop filter-by-type

Rend 2 Stuff

• Create test map to try out rend2/vulkan features
• Create test model to try out rend2/vulkan features
• Test render, and then add to menu/make adjustments as needed.
• [Vulkan] First person weapon ADS positions are off #405

Item changes

• Jawa Ion Gun needs icons, item file, and md3 animations
• Pulse Revolver (needs completed shaders/textures, icon, and adjustments to ammo)
• IR-5 Blasters: New icons, texture & shader
• EE-3 Pistol needs icons
• New ammo/ammo box icons Ammo items need icons #356
• Galinolo armor variant
• Another galinolo armor variant OR new armor, non-imperial equivalent to swamptrooper armor
• Add all missing items to vendors (sandtrooper, sotetrooper, jawa gun, etc.)
• Consider adding a sub 500 pistol with armor piercing or that inflicts standard-shred debuff?
• EMP/Electric Grenade (electric damage, and long-lasting emp debuff)
• Ablative Acid Grenade (does acid damage in a splash zone and leaves an area that inflicts a long-lasting shred debuff) ?
• Additional mine types:(Electric Net Mine, Plasma Mine, Toxic Sludge Mine (poison, shred, and bleed debuffs)

Map Changes

• A new map?
• Clipping fix on various models in Jawa Fortress
• Fix visible void on Jawa Fortress
• Make base doors consistent #411
• Added Weapon_Fix to Jawa Fortress, Taris, Nightfall, Imperial Base, etc. to get rid of in game load-stuttering
• Vis bugs on Taris fixed
• Removed broken bombardment script calls from Taris
• Collision fixed on Tatooine Arena around base hallway arches

Bug Fixes and Balance Changes

• Armor doesn't get removed after map_restart #335 (a work around is currently in place)
• Possibly allow freely switching to melee with no penalty when overheating
• Ammo overrides do not respect firemodes. #375
• Vendors initially t-pose after new round on the same map begins (map_restart), they are also vulnerable at this point. This appears to affect non- map placed vendors. This is likely related to vendors moving on certain maps in FFA mode (like Taris).
• Armor sometimes renders invisible to clients until it is unequipped/reequipped by the player wearing it #393
• Players are sometimes joining with bugged out models with armor apparently equipped and bugged out animations. Probably caused by above and only during map_restarts/vid restarts.
• Spectators visible while connecting?
• Galinolo Mk2 armor clips with legs (turn off upper legs/hips despite being torso armor?)
• bountyhunter2 (Galinolo) armor is segmented a bit weird, helmet should probably keep head/neck as it does not have one itself. Additionally has poor weights on feet that look especially bad while crouching. Revisit model.
• in game server list doesn't properly work when attempting to sort list by version
• Tatooine decals render on top of fog
• Grenade model scaling #399
• Saber trails are missing, saber blades can now be missing for your own player
