SmArtKar	bbb7a41743	Guncode Agony 4: The Great Projectile Purge (#87740) ... ## About The Pull Request ~~Kept you waitin huh!~~ The projectile refactor is finally here, 4 years later. This PR (almost) completely rewrites projectile logic to be more maintainable and performant. ### Key changes: * Instead of moving by a fixed amount of pixels, potentially skipping tile corners and being performance-heavy, projectiles now use raymarching in order to teleport through tiles and only visually animate themselves. This allows us to do custom per-projectile animations and makes the code much more reliable, sane and maintainable. You (did not) serve us well, pixel_move. * Speed variable now measures how many tiles (if SSprojectiles has default values) a projectile passes in a tick instead of being a magical Kevinz Unit™️ coefficient. pixel_speed_multiplier has been retired because it never had a right to exist in the first place. __This means that downstreams will need to set all of their custom projectiles' speed values to ``pixel_speed_multiplier / speed``__ in order to prevent projectiles from inverting their speed. * Hitscans no longer operate with spartial vectors and instead only store key points in which the projectile impacted something or changed its angle. This should similarly make the code much easier to work with, as well as fixing some visual jank due to incorrect calculations. * Projectiles only delete themselves the ***next*** tick after impacting something or reaching their maximum range. Doing so allows them to finish their impact animation and hide themselves between ticks via animation chains. This means that projectiles no longer disappear ~a tile before hitting their target, and that we can finally make impact markers be consistent with where the projectile actually landed instead of being entirely random. <details> <summary>Here is an example of how this affects our slowest-moving projectile: Magic Missiles.</summary> Before: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/06b3a980-4701-4aeb-aa3e-e21cd056020e After: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/abe8ed5c-4b81-4120-8d2f-cf16ff5be915 </details> <details> <summary>And here is a much faster, and currently jankier, disabler SMG.</summary> Before: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2d84aef1-0c83-44ef-a698-8ec716587348 After: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2e7c1336-f611-404f-b3ff-87433398d238 </details> ### But how will this affect the ~~trout population~~ gameplay? Beyond improved visuals, smoother movement and a few minor bugfixes, this should not have a major gameplay impact. If something changed its behavior in an unexpected way or started looking odd, please make an issue report. Projectile impacts should now be consistent with their visual position, so hitting and dodging shots should be slightly easier and more intuitive. This PR should be testmerged extensively due to the amount of changes it brings and considerable difficulty in reviewing them. Please contact me to ensure its good to merge. Closes #71822 Closes #78547 Closes #78871 Closes #83901 Closes #87802 Closes #88073 ## Why It's Good For The Game Our core projectile code is an ungodly abomination that nobody except me, Kapu and Potato dared to poke in the past months (potentially longer). It is laggy, overcomplicated and absolutely unmaintaineable - while a lot of decisions made sense 4 years ago when we were attempting to introduce pixel movement, nowadays they are only acting as major roadblocks for any contributor who is attempting to make projectile behavior that differs from normal in any way. Huge thanks to Kapu and Potato (Lemon) on the discord for providing insights, ideas and advice throughout the past months regarding potential improvements to projectile code, almost all of which made it in. ## Changelog 🆑 qol: Projectiles now visually impact their targets instead of disappearing about a tile short of it. fix: Fixed multiple minor issues with projectile behavior refactor: Completely rewrote almost all of our projectile code - if anything broke or started looking/behaving oddly, make an issue report! /🆑	2024-11-23 04:02:35 -08:00
Ghom	96c0c0b12c	Fish infusion (#87030) ... ## About The Pull Request I'm adding a new infusion ~~(actually four, but two of them are just holders for specific organs tied to a couple fish traits)~~ to the game. As the title says, it's about fish. The infusion is composed of three primary organs, plus another few that can be gotten from fish with specific traits. The primary organs are: - Gills (lungs): Instead of breathing oxygen, you now need to stay wet or breathe water vapor. - fish-DNA infused stomach: Can safely eat raw fish. - fish tail: On its own, it only speeds you up on water turfs, but it has another effect once past the organ set threshold. It also makes you waddle and flop like a fish while crawling (I still gotta finish sprites on this one) Other organs are: - semi-aquatic lungs: A subtype of gills from fish with the 'amphibious' trait, falls back on oxygen if there's no water. Can also be gotten from frogs, axolotl and crabs. - fish-DNA infused liver: From fish with the 'toxic' trait. Uses tetrodotoxin as a healing chem instead of a toxin. Also better tolerance to alcohol if you want to drink like a fish (ba dum tsh). - inky tongue: From fish with the 'ink production' trait. Gives mobs the ability to spit ink on a cooldown, blinding and confusion foes temporarily. The main gimmick of this infusion revolves around being drenched in water to benefit from it, In the case you get the gills organ, this also becomes a necessity, to not suffocate to death (alternatively, you can breathe water vapor, without any benefit). To enable the bonus of the organs set, three organs need to be infused. They can be gills, stomach, tail and/or liver, while the inky tongue doesn't count towards it. Once the threshold is reached, the following bonus are enabled: - Wetness decays a lot slower and resists fire a bit more. - Ink spit becomes stronger, allowing it to very briefly knock down foes. - Fishing bonuses and experience - Resistance to high pressures - Slightly expanded FOV - drinking water and showers mildly heal you over time. - for felinids: You won't hate getting sprayed by water or taking a shower. - While wet: - - If the fish tail is implanted, crawling speed is boosted. - - You no longer slip on wet tiles. - - You also become slippery when lying on the floor. - - You get a very mild damage resistance and passive stamina regeneration, and cool down faster. - - You resist grabs better. - - get a very weak positive moodlet. - However, being dry will make you quite squisher, especially against fire damage, slower and give you a modest negative moodlet. While working on it, I've also noticed a few things that explained why tetrodotoxin (TTX) did jackshit at low doses, because livers have a set toxin tolerance value, below which, any amount of toxin does nothing. Also I've felt like reagents like multiver & co were a bit too strong against a reagent that's supposed to work at very low doses, with slow metabolization, so I've added a couple variables to buff TTX a bit, making it harder to purge and resistant to liver toxin tolerance (also added a bit of lungs damage). ## Why It's Good For The Game I wanted to take a shot at coding a DNA infusion and see how chock-full I could make it. DNA infusions are like a middle point between "aha, small visual trinket" and organs with generally ok effects. I seek to make something a bit more complex ~~(also tied to fishing ofc because that's more or less the recurrent gag of my recent features)~~ primaly focused around the unique theme of being strong when wet and weaker when dry. EDIT: The PR is now ready, have a set of screenshots of the (fairly mid) fish tails (and gills, barely visible) on randomly generated spessman and one consistent joe:  ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added a new infusion to the game: Fish. Its main gimmick revolves around being stronger and slippery when wet while weaker when dry. balance: Buffed tetrodotoxin a little against liver tolerance and purging reagents. /🆑	2024-10-09 02:03:50 +02:00
Ghom	10c2b7364e	The fishening v3: Fishing lures. (#86007) ... ## About The Pull Request Over half of the line changes are merely from splitting the fish_types.dm into several files since it was over 1k lines already. One of the small issues with fishing right now is RNG. You want to get some specific fish, and you go through all the micromanaging with hooks, reels and baits only for the random number god to say "nope", and that's only going to get worse the more fish are in the game. However, I've a solution: (unconsumable/reusable) fishing lures, each of which attracts different fish based on different conditions. The only caveat is that they require to be spun at set intervals (usually 1 to 3 seconds, depending on the lure, with a second-long window). Worry not, there're visual cues in the form of a green/red light hovering the fishing float, so you won't get screwed up by the server slowing down or whatever. The whole box of lures (12 so far) can be from cargo for the fair price of 450 credits. I've also added 5 new fish: monkfish, plaice, pike, another punnier variant of the pike, perch and squid. The latter is quite special because of the ink production trait, which lets players use it to blind others at a close range and when butchered, it yields an ink sac, which can be processed into a can of squid ink (one less item exclusive to the produce console), or thrown at people in a sort-of-similar fashion of banana cream pies (except it's ink). <details> <summary>Images</summary> Fishing lures (forgot to take my cursor off the veggie one before the screenshot):  The five new fish:  </details> <details> <summary>A table of fish catchable wth each lure (excluding holodeck)</summary>  </details> A few more things in the CL, baitfish are a thing now. ## Why It's Good For The Game There should be ways to contrast some of the RNG fishing has. After all, it's only going to get more random the more fish are in the game. Furthermore, I find it disappointing that a lot of food stuff is exclusive to the ingredients console and there're no other ways to get it. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added fishing lures to the game. They don't get used up like baits and let you catch specific kinds of fish, though they need to be spun every few seconds. The whole set can be ordered from cargo for 450 credits. balance: The magnet hook now removes dud chances. add: Added five new fish types: perch, two types of pike, monkfish, plaice and squid. Squids have a fairly special ink production trait, which lets you use them (unless dead) to ink people face at close range, and can be butchered for an ink sac, which can either be processed into canned squid ink, or thrown at someone. fix: Refactored throwing a little. Some items (specifically components/elements) won't be triggered when caught. no more plates shattering despite being caught for example. add: Goldfish, lavaloops, needlefish and armorfish can now be used as baits. /🆑	2024-09-06 19:50:28 -04:00
