Changelog

2.0.0 - World Shaper, pre-release 6

Package version 2.0.5. Built for Cult of the Lamb 1.5.26; earlier versions of the game are not supported.

Custom weapons

• A player spine can now add weapons to the game, declared in the spine's own config.json under weapons. Each is built on a vanilla weapon, keeping its heavy attack, sounds, hit shapes and pickup card while swapping in your look, your combo and your numbers
• Every hit of a combo is yours to set: animation, damage, swing speed, range, hit box size, knockback, lunge speed and length, camera shake, attack type, whether the next hit can be queued, whether you can turn mid-swing, and when in the animation the hit lands and the swing can be broken out of
• Any spine can wield any spine's weapon. The art is transplanted into whichever player skin is worn, and a swing with no animation of its own falls back to the base weapon's
• Chain weapons are supported in full: sweep shapes, hook motion patterns, up to two chains swung at once with a delay between them, and your own hook art and size at the end of the chain
• Added preloadWeapons to load a spine's weapon art at startup rather than at the moment a weapon is picked up
• Added a Debug / WeaponHitboxes config that draws the hit shape of every swing, and the chain hook's own collider as it flies
• The Podium tool now has a dropdown to pin which weapon a podium hands out

Custom NPC quests

• A custom NPC can now hand out quests, shown in the game's own objectives panel with the same headings, tick boxes, counters and countdown wheels
• Quests finish on the same kinds of criteria the game's own do: gathering items, killing enemies, building, growing the flock, clearing a dungeon (custom ones included), performing a ritual, speaking to another custom NPC, a flag another mod raises, or any of the game's own story beats
• Dialogue drives them: a node or an answer can hand a quest out, take it in, or give it up
• An NPC greets you differently depending on where a quest stands - untaken, under way, ready to hand in, finished or failed
• Quests can pay out items, be repeatable, run on a timer, and take the items they asked for when they are handed in
• Progress is kept in CultTweaker's own file, one per save slot; the game's save file is left untouched

Whiteboard

• Added a Whiteboard tool: a Show whiteboard toggle, Draw with a size slider and nine colours, Erase with its own size, and Clear all
• Strokes are never selectable and never part of the room; they show only while the editor is open, are saved with the map, and travel to the other player live
• One drag is one stroke and one undo; an erase drag is one undo too, and Clear all wipes the board in one undoable step
• The chosen colour shows a white border instead of being covered, and the brush lands exactly under the cursor

Multiplayer

• Added editing together over COTL MP Steam: either player can open the map editor in the base and both see every change as it happens
• Added a shared pause, and a chat line inviting the other player to press F4
• Added two selection colours: yours cyan, theirs amber, on the object, its outline, their cursor and in the layer list
• Added locking: an object the other player has selected or is dragging cannot be taken until they let go
• Added live drags: moves, resizes and reshapes show on the other screen while the mouse is still down; cursors no longer flicker, dragged objects glide instead of jittering, and lighting changes fade in
• Saving from either side saves on the host's machine; the guest receives the files
• Custom dungeon levels work in a session, and both players can edit the rooms together
• Added a Resync button, a MapEditor / NetVerbose config and a "Sync self-test" button for tracking down a desync
• Every saved object now carries an id in its map file; maps saved by pre-release 5 still open

For mod authors

• Added a small code contract, CultTweakerApi, which lists and finds every kind of custom content this install has - dungeons, NPCs, enemies, items, meals, tarots, structures, weapons, skins, rooms, levels, world maps, menus, cutscenes and quests - and can enter a custom dungeon, spawn a custom NPC, drive a quest and locate content on disk
• Shipping content through CultTweaker still needs no code at all
• Documented the load-order trap and why the numbers the game gives custom content must never be saved or sent to another machine

Fixes

• Fixed door pads growing across the whole room when the room's centre is a hole (a pit, a tree)
• Fixed placed enemies waking up and attacking while the editor was open with multiplayer enabled, even when hosting alone
• Fixed the guest being stuck on the summoning screen when the host entered a custom dungeon level
• Fixed a move or resize received from the other player sometimes respawning the object instead of moving it, which left enemy bodies behind on the guest's screen

2.0.0 - World Shaper, pre-release 5

Layers

• Added a Layers panel at the left edge of the map editor: every object in the room listed by what placed it - Shapes, Podiums, Enemies, NPCs, Structures, Props and Triggers
• Click a row to select that object; the tree follows your selection and scrolls to it, and section headers stay pinned
• Shift-click two rows to select the run between them
• Built for big rooms: a base town of six hundred objects scrolls and highlights without lag

Multi-selection and groups

• Added multi-selection to the Select tool: Shift-click adds or removes; move and depth drags move everything together, one undo puts the whole drag back, and Delete removes the lot
• Added groups with Ctrl+G; Ctrl+G on a whole group dissolves it, and both are undoable
• Groups are saved with the map and come back on load; the Layers panel shows each group as a folder

Whiteboard

• Added a Whiteboard tool with Show, Draw (size slider, nine colours), Erase and Clear all
• Strokes are never selectable, show only while the editor is open, are saved with the map, and travel to the other player live
• One drag is one stroke and one undo

Structures

• Added the DLC dungeons' dressing to the structure browser: DLC Dungeon / Ewefall and DLC Dungeon / Rot, with the whole decoration plots beside them as ... Plots
• Added the Art groups (cave biome pieces, the base's weeds, some boss and shop room dressing) and Tile Decorations
• The old Placement Objects / DLC and VFX / DLC folders are now ... / Misc

Multiplayer

• Added editing together over COTL MP Steam, a shared pause, two selection colours, locking, live drags, host-side saving, custom dungeon levels in a session, a Resync button, a MapEditor / NetVerbose config and a "Sync self-test" button
• Every saved object now carries an id in its map file; maps saved by pre-release 4 still open

Fixes

• Fixed door pads growing across the whole room when the room's centre is a hole

2.0.0 - World Shaper, pre-release 4

Follower skin editor

• Added a follower skin editor on F8, editing the same FollowerSkins/ folders the mod loads
• Added a left panel: skin and variant picking, new skins and variants, colour set, base skin, animation preview, and the list of overridden slots
• Added an Outfit picker to the preview, for looking only - never saved with the skin
• Added a right panel for the selected layer: slot, image, hide, placement sliders and colour
• Added skin/variant naming, so one prompt saves either a new variant or a whole new skin
• Added live reload: a saved skin can be worn by followers without restarting
• Adding a colour set is now an entry at the top of the Colour set list

Player skins

• Added enemy pathfinding around blocking volumes, updated as they are moved and resized
• Added a "Play animation on object" action, with a choice of what happens when that animation ends

Loading

• Custom follower skins are now baked once and kept: roughly 10 seconds off the startup and about 2 GB less memory while it loads
• A skin is rebuilt only when you change it, and the kept copy can be shipped with a skin

Compatibility

• Built for Cult of the Lamb 1.5.26; earlier versions are no longer supported

Fixes

• Fixed F5 starting the test dungeon from the title screen and during scene changes
• Fixed a structure's own sprites, added as it is placed, missing the look it was given
• Fixed naming a skin confirming a name the editor would not accept
