This patch contains LOTS of FPS optimizations and bug fixes! There's still more optimizations on the horizon but I wanted to get these into your hands!
Optimizations:
- Optimize: floating text so if there are more than 20 of
a single kind it will just aggregate a message
Thanks Xulqelyat!
- optimize: Target Circle
- optimize: Target Column
- optim: Throttle skybeam
This massively increases efficiency for when lots of enemies are teleported to the same place all at once.
Hugely reduces lag.
- optimization: Update server to run entirely on bun.sh
rather than just websocketpie (this should make many things on the server faster)
Gameplay Balances:
- balance: onKillResurrect Rune
to make it less high %. It was way too high (50% max is too much)
and you could get there too cheaply.
Thanks Xulqelyat!
- balance: Exploit: Repeated self rez for infinite mana
Prevent resurrecting player units more than once in one turn to disallow infinite mana exploit where resurrecting yourself gives you mana
- balance: Change Death Wager cost
"Reset all spell costs back to their default. Sets your current health to 1. You must be at max health to cast. This spell must be cast alone."
So it will no longer affect max health (no permanent effect).
I think this will make it much more viable and strategic.
fix: Always updateCardBadges after cast so spells like DeathWager that affect card costs will show the proper badges.
Thanks Jace, SquishyFish, Monarch and Xeno!
Bug Fixes
- fix: Un "frontload" plus radius
because it is in contradiction to how the spell's copy describes it and also users may want to use it more surgically.
Thanks Darth_Dan!
- fix: last will to only notify if it's able
to spawn a potion.
Thanks Darth_Dan!
- fix: prevent projectiles from colliding with caster
(because you can step in front of your own stream of arrows)
Thanks Xulqelyat!
- fix: Prevent infinite recursion with takeDamage events
Once the takeDamage events start to process, any further damage cannot retrigger takeDamage events
This ensures that a unit's onDamage events can't reflect damage back on itself which would cause infinite recursion
Removes `hasRedirectedDamage` which is no longer necessary due to this new method of `takingPureDamage` which covers
that case too
Also fix prediction units from having a ref to themself via prediction copy, only real units should have that ref.
Thanks Xulqelyat!
- fix: Prediction purify from actually removing
soul shard haver from units when soul shard owner was hovered
with prediction purify.
- fix: Far Gazer not showing stamina change on upgrade
- fix: Res immune applies to players only
- fix: Update mana badges when clearing
queued spell.
- fix: Logging death on prediction instead of only on real
Thanks Darth_Dan!
- fix: Increase potion spawn radius on alchemist so it
doesn't spawn on top of you
- fix: Increase spawn radius for purple portal
so that it doesn't spawn too close to you causing it to trigger immediately
In multiplayer, this made the game advance as soon as you cast the last kill spell.
Thanks @Jackson
- fix: findValidSpawn to use hex
so we don't get unexpected far-away clones
- fix: Remove "Choose a place to spawn" if player is already spawned on load
- fix: Prevent competing Goru's from using each other's
primed corpses.
Thanks FfrankF!
- fix UI: Unit attack range circle not moving with them
- fix: Server Loop: "Could not find valid spawn..."
To address infinite loop that reported 'Could not find valid spawn point in radius'
over and over, if no spawn point is found just return the center.
- fix Server Crash: If headless has to emergency exit force moves
clear all force moves so that they don't continue to emergency exit next time the function is called.
- dev: Drastically speed up starting up headless server using bun.
- fix: Save remembers camera location
