v4.2.0

Added

• Suppressors and Flashlights to Revolvers
  • I forgor
  • Note: PBS-1 still has the stupid clipping
• Localizations and groups for Suppressors
  • in the months that i had the suppressors, i never really settled on a name for them
  • i still havent settled :D
  • but at least they're not just 1-5 now
    • double cans
    • PBS-1
    • heavy metal
• Flashlights [WIP]
  • None of these work LMAO
  • MP5 flashlights (2)
    • goes on the sight rail
  • Big Tactical Light
    • like a regular flashlight you hold in your hand, but on the gun (oooo)

Fixed

• Alignments for Slim Blades
  • attachment points did not use ap_body_01. it's all blade, regardless of slot name
  • this still means the blades with builtin hilts (such as psword) will be too high. am working on that

Refactors/Developer Talk

• Reworked helpers to be full items
  • for:
    • Suppressors
    • Tactical Stocks
    • Iron Sights
    • Flashlights
  • because when they aren't, there may be weirdness with the game trying to use them as something they're not (ex bullets getting hidden)
  • also meant fixes might apply to them when they weren't supposed to
• Reworked single kitbashes (no children) to full items
  • for:
    • Slim Blades
  • also helps prevent wonkiness with fixes, since it overwrites

v4.1.0

Added

• Flashlight
  • Variants for each flashlight model per color
  • Added a bunch of colors: green, red, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, pink
  • Added 4 variants for size and stuff
    • narrow: what I used last time for owo_flashlight_green_01
    • narrow cool: same but lower color temperature
    • weak: wider and shorter beam, with cooler temperature
    • default: copying the default flashlight template, so just color is different
  • this makes 180 flashlights :3
  • good luck babe
• Slim Blades
  • made available on relic blade, force sword, and force greatsword
  • blades from relic blade, force sword, and force greatsword
  • short variants for relic/fgs
  • they sit too low. fix comes later
• [WIP] Iron sights
  • on: autoguns
  • ak irons
  • shape is alright, but the sights dont work lol
• [WIP] Magazines
  • on: autoguns
  • ak extended mag
  • it just doesn't fucking work lmao

Fixed

• Aligned tactical stocks for bolter
  • sizd up and moved to back
  • still dont try on helbores
• Logic error when looping over all models
  • Used break instead of continue (and lua doesn't have continue)
  • So i'd lose all the models after the first one i wanted to skip
  • fixing this restored from 3 psword blades to 6 psword blades (index 7), not counting mastery
    • 7 models to use, skip #4
    • break meant only 1-3 were added
    • now it's 1-3, 5-7
• wonky fix interaction between merge tables and suppressors
  • suppressors would get the fixes meant for merge tables???
  • eg suppressor (empty base) with folded under stock
    • stock would be in default position, as if i didnt do anything to it
    • suppressor would get the rotation/scaling from it
  • fixed by using the base unit version

Developer talk

• Decided how to add fixes
  • each weapon has its own file in the fixes folder
    • all it does is return the fixes
    • then the main file reads all those (right before copying to sibling marks) and adds them in
      • requires me to maintain the list of the weapons in the fixes folder, but idc
      • automatically detecting files int he folder is very resource intensive, and this only risks me forgetting to add something during testing
  • this means the fixes given per attachment are the universal fixes
    • technically we cant do universal fixes like that
    • it has to be put under each weapon
    • but that means i'd need more effort when it comes to making custom fixes
      • cant just insert because the order they get applied in may not be consistent
      • i have the custom fixes overwrite them if the requirements match exactly
  • I prefer it this way because i like having the kitbash and attachments defined in the same file
    • there's overhead from having to process and skip values, but i find the headache annoying enough when swapping between two files
    • also it's not like this is noticeable
• Merged redundent functions into more generic functions
  • in the main file, adding fixes and kitbashes can be done by inserting each table and merge recursive, respectively
  • made them global into generic_helpers.lua to be used in create_attachments.lua
• Made kitbash creation cleaner
  • split into functions for merge table and full item
  • then call the appropriate one within the create_an_attachment function
  • now it's not directly in the main file :)
• Added comments for more functions
• refactored suppressor creation to copypaste less code

v4.0.0

Initial release for the rebuilt version in Discord. Continuing the version count from the old plugin to keep git in order.

Laying the framework for me to readd parts

for the nerds

• functions for each group of attachments (ex suppressors together)
• functions to add a group of attachments to a weapon (or multiple at once)
• functions to copy over attachments to another weapon
  • used to propagate changes from mark to mark
  • and from family to family (ex ilas --> recon)
• defining the attachment functions globally in separate files
  • slightly worse performance but much cleaner code
  • at startup and it's only a few function calls
  • i'm sure the auto mark propagation is worse than this
  • esp the table search lol
• function to execute a function for a range
  • used to iterate through each mesh
  • ex 8 power sword blades, so script runs it for 7 then the mastery one

Added

• Suppressors
  • Infantry/Braced/Vigilant Autoguns, Shredder Autopistol, Spearhead Boltgun, Bolt Pistol, Infantry/Helbore/Recon Lasguns
  • Changed the tip of suppressor 5 to not be a colored tip
  • dont use on bolter/boltpistol
• Tactical stocks
  • Infantry/Braced/Vigilant Autoguns, Shredder Autopistol, Spearhead Boltgun, Bolt Pistol, Infantry/Helbore/--- Lasguns
  • unaligned for most things
  • 🥀
