v0.24 (Pre-release 25)

• Ammo is something mods needs to register using the gunslinger.register_ammo API method.
  • Currently, ammo does not have any functional significance, and only support the itemdef field.
• Ammo finally has a proper texture.
• New API method gunslinger.get_config for mods to access a copy of gunslinger's internal config (includes stuff like default values, debug mode, etc.).

Changelog: v0.23-pre...v0.24-pre

v0.23 (Pre-release 24)

• Deferred Raycasting, out. Progressive Raycast, in.
  • Progressive Raycast simulates the movement of each projectile along its trajectory on each server step.
  • When a projectile intersects a target, the target is damaged by config.base_dmg * def.dmg_mult.
  • All objects are valid targets.
  • TODO: Implement on_hit callback, and ignore default damage mechanics if callback is defined for a gun.
• Support for projectile particle texture has finally been added.
  • If not explicitly specified in the gun def, the default projectile particle texture is used.
  • Note: Gunslinger doesn't support asymmetric textures (e.g. textures that resemble actual bullets) out of the box.
• Determine debug mode from the gunslinger.debug setting instead of hard-coding it.

Changelog: v0.22-pre...v0.23-pre

v0.22 (Pre-release 23)

• Zoom and scoping mechanics have been implemented.
• New config.debug variable has been added, to allow gunslinger to toggle debug-only features. This would be set to true by default, until the v1.0.0 release.
• There have been some improvements to the structure and accuracy of the API documentation.

Changelog: v0.21-pre...v0.22-pre

v0.21 (Pre-release 22)

• WIP Gun Definition Table (GDT) sanitizer; throws error when a mandatory field hasn't been defined, and assigns default values to non-existent optional fields (e.g. sounds).
• Hardcoded headshot damage buff of 50% has been removed, for the following reasons:
  • The head can vary depending on the model used, and hardcoding the head region with respect to the default MTG player model can get in the way of other mods and is generally a bad idea.
  • Mods might want to do something thing else in addition to/instead of adding a damage buff, and a hardcoded damage buff will complicate things.
  • With the following points in mind, it seems quite sensible to allow mods to detect headshots and take appropriate action all by themselves in a yet-to-be-implemented on_hit callback.
• Hardcoded scoping damage buff has been removed as it was temporary right from the beginning, serving as a placeholder until scoping in actually reduces inaccuracy while shooting, which has now been implemented.
