[1.4] Overhaul 5.0 BETA 3. Incredible.
Added 2021-03-19 22:04:13 +0000 UTCThe third beta is here, and it finalizes (for now!) the new broadsword combat, reintroducing charged attacks and killing blows (now they're true to their name!), improving in-air melee combat again, and improving ALL combat & gore audio by a ton. Also fixes some horrible issues.
The result is quite fun.
-== Changelog ==-
Commits: v5.0-beta-2...v5.0-beta-3
Summary:
- Fixed configs not loading.
- Fixed retro lighting lagging the game (and sometimes crashing on some graphics drivers.)
- Added broadsword power attacks.
- Added broadswords killing blows. They're very different from 1.3 -- they double damage on power attacks whenever an enemy with non-full health will die from that.
- Redid swing velocity logic from scratch. Removed extra velocity bonuses for attacking downwards.
- Striking enemies will now launch the player towards their velocity. This lets you 'ride' demon eyes into the sky!
- Heavily improved enemy hit & death sounds.
- Heavily improved gore audio and fixed some issues with it.
- Improved gore blood splatters.
- Made a new system that allows me to replace enemy hit sounds on per-item basis. Swords now play custom audio, and so do wooden tools.
- Removed unused keybindings.
- Improved the mop's code, fixed the mop hitting enemies through walls.

-== How do I report issues? ==-
The best way is to create an issue on Github. If you do - I'll never blindly forget about it. Don't forget to mention either 5.0 or 1.4 in its name or description.
Alternatively, if you're feeling lazy or not sure about something, you can just ping me in the '1_4-testing' channel of Overhaul's Discord. I can help with any issues, not just Overhaul's.
-== How can/may I contribute? ==-
You can contribute by doing pull requests to the '1.4' branch on Github. Will require some basic understanding of source control tools.
It is quite tricky to help me with reimplementations due to the 1.3 version's source code being closed (it's just ugly and that's all there is to it), but it would be nice to get help with the following:
- Programming: Look at the 1.4 milestone on GitHub.
- Art: If you're an artist - random sprite improvements could be good, if the improvements are objective. I would also like to update the logo, though there already were some attempts by a few people.
- Translations: Very soon there will be many strings available for localization. And it'll finally stop being a mess due to open source.
