Changelog

v17

• GTFO.EZ.Shared submodule bump: SharedOwner.Order no longer lists GTFO.CrashTestDummies, which dropped Insert/Delete (and this submodule) in its own v17. No change in this mod's own behavior.
• GTFO.CrashTestDummies and GTFO.SkipDrop join the vN scheme this release, so every GTFO.* mod now shares one version number.

v16

• The Absurd Weapons toggle moved from Home to End. GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves' own toggle moves the other way, onto Home.
• Insert and Delete swapped: Insert is now infinite health, Delete is now infinite ammo. Both also always announce in the console now, not just the event log. Shared code (GTFO.EZ.Shared), so GTFO.EZ, its Absurd companions and GTFO.CrashTestDummies all pick it up.
• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one).

v15

• Absurd Weapons is a toggle again: off at the start of every level. Home switches it on, snapshotting your current loadout and health, so swapping mid-level (below) starts working; Home again switches it off, putting every swapped slot and your health back to that snapshot - out of whatever Absurd weapon you're holding and back to a serious run - all at once. The on/off state is announced on-screen and always in the console too.
• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one).

v14

• Bug fix: the lasers, Chain Lightning, Shrink Beam and Tentacle Cannon emptied in about two seconds. Their ammo now goes by how long you hold the trigger: a full magazine lasts 10 seconds of sustained fire (new [Ammo] MagazineSeconds, replacing StreamPercentPerSecond). The beam guns refill an empty magazine from the reserve instead of reloading; the Tentacle Cannon no longer charges a round per bite and reloads like any gun.
• Rocket Launcher: the rocket is now an orange-glowing fireball instead of a little missile, and its dust trail starts right at the muzzle - dense near the gun so it reads as one continuous trail, thinning to the old sparse puffs further out - instead of only beginning some 20 m away.
• Bug fix: the Plasma Pistol and Rifle no longer charge up before firing.
• Bug fix: a Chain Lightning or Mjolnir bolt that strikes exactly one enemy flashes again.
• Bug fix: the Shadow Dagger's purple glow no longer sticks to the weapon swapped in after it.
• Chain Lightning glows a soft violet of its own.
• Bug fixes - walls and doors: grenades no longer go off on an enemy or player just behind a wall or door; rockets, grenades and plasma rounds fired up against a wall no longer start past it; rocket and plasma blasts no longer reach through the wall or ceiling they hit; a point-blank Mjolnir throw no longer starts on the far side of a wall, and its hit no longer reaches through doors; the Warhammer slam no longer lands past a wall.
• Bug fixes - where shots start: rocket, grenade, plasma and hive shots aimed at the floor ahead (even far down a corridor) leave the barrel again instead of your eye, and a shot at an enemy closer than the barrel no longer starts inside or past it.
• Bug fixes - bots: on the host, a bot's shots no longer change your ammo display, play your Railgun or Tentacle Cannon sounds, use up your tentacle spots or get infinite Tentacle Cannon ammo, and your right-click no longer sets off a bot's rockets. The Victory Banner heals bots too.
• Bug fixes - multiplayer: teammates hear the Railgun; a teammate's dropped Shrink Beam no longer shrinks enemies on everyone else's game; a rocket or grenade fired point-blank into a teammate no longer explodes at the map origin.
• Bug fixes - other: swapping a weapon back in never refills its magazine; a slow swap can't move the new weapon's ammo onto the old one; the Warhammer slam fires one shockwave, not two; the Katana's charge-up keeps its normal pace during a dash; plasma rounds no longer leak a material copy per shot; cached materials are rebuilt if the game unloads them.
• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one).

v13

• Versioning: the GTFO.EZ family - GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems - now shares one version number, so this first release is v13, in step with GTFO.EZ, rather than v1.
• Renamed from GTFO.AbsurdWeapons to GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons before release, as a GTFO.EZ companion mod built on GTFO.EZ's core (plugin GUID MindAttic.GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, config file MindAttic.GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons.cfg, Thunderstore package GtfoEZAbsurdWeapons).
• Master switch: [0. Mod] Enabled (default true) is the config file's first entry; set it to false and the whole mod is off - nothing is patched, no weapon is added, no hotkey.
• Moved out: the Hand Grenade, the Stim Pack and the loot mix now live in GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems, with the same [Hand Grenade] and [Stim Pack] settings and HandGrenadeThrow/HandGrenadeBounce sounds; its kit loot (Consumables Are Kits) runs them as one loot run, under GTFO.EZ's kit setting names (Kit Loot (%), Health Kit Weight, ...) in place of KitLootPercent, HealthKitWeight and the rest. Install it to keep them. This mod no longer changes consumables or loot; its [Loot], [Hand Grenade] and [Stim Pack] sections stay in an existing .cfg as leftover lines that do nothing. Eighteen weapons now.
• Loot uses GTFO.EZ's kit loot, shared between the two mods: a few small kits of 1-2 charges adding about 20% to the zone's resource packs (KitLootPercent, KitChargesMin/Max), with Hand Grenades at 4 to the kits' 3 and Stim Packs alongside. KitSize and SpawnsPerZoneMultiplier are gone.
• Insert (infinite ammo) and Delete (infinite health) are the shared toggles every GTFO.* mod has; [Ammo] InfiniteAmmo and InfiniteAmmoToggleKey are gone.
• Artifacts stay: Hand Grenades now join artifacts instead of replacing them - artifacts are as rare as vanilla. Grenades are common instead: half the loot mix (HandGrenadeWeight 4) and half as much loot again per zone (SpawnsPerZoneMultiplier 1.5). The ArtifactsBecomeHandGrenades setting is gone.
• Loot: where it clashes with GTFO.EZ, this mod's loot wins - GTFO.EZ's kit-only tables (its Consumables Are Kits) get this mod's mix too, Hand Grenades and Stim Packs alongside kits at this mod's own kit odds and size.
• Every added gun fires the moment you pull the trigger: none charges up first or cools down after. The Plasma Pistol/Rifle had picked up a charge-up from their stat source, the Omneco LRG HEL.
• Initial release with nineteen weapons, each marked (!):
  • Melee: Katana (the Mastaba blade at twice a real katana's length; a full charge dashes up to 10 m with the swing held, cutting the moment you reach an enemy or a wall), Mjolnir (a thunderclap on every hit; a full charge throws it end over end, throwing chain lightning as it flies out and back), Warhammer (500-damage blow, shockwave, a crater of scattered debris on a full-charge slam, flings enemies up to 12 m, and walls hurt them), Shadow Dagger (a fully charged hit makes you unseen for 3 s; kills while hidden add +25% damage up to +100%, every kill while hidden also adds +0.33 s, up to a 3 s cap that drains 5% with every enemy hit, resetting when the stealth ends; putting it away ends it).
  • Guns: Plasma Pistol/Rifle (Doom plasma), Hive Pistol/Rifle (Titanfall smart rounds, with lock-on markers), Laser Pistol/Rifle (continuous burning beams), Tentacle Cannon (bursts of striker tentacles from spots around the edge of your view, biting a nearby enemy or reaching for walls and floors otherwise), Railgun (a slow, devastating hitscan slug with infinite penetration and a double-helix beam), Chain Lightning Gun (bolts that jump between up to six enemies), Grenade Pistol/Rifle (lobbed lock-melter grenades that blow on an enemy or bounce and blow after 2.5 s, flashing red faster and faster), Rocket Launcher (Quake 1's rocket: dead straight, no drop, trailing sparks and dust, blowing up the first thing it touches - and nearby players too), Shrink Beam (a continuous ray that shrinks whatever it's held on until it gibs at a third of its size; once one's half-size or smaller, look down at it within 1 m to step on it).
  • Tool: Victory Banner (plant a flag with a glowing healing aura, pick it back up; heals everyone standing in it).
  • Consumable: Hand Grenade (a lock melter thrown like a glowstick, lobbed twice as hard, that bounces and blows after 3 s; nobody starts with any; each one found is 1 more, up to 6) and Stim Pack (an overheal like Doom's: +50% health, up to 200%, draining back to 100%).
• Guns use ammo like vanilla guns; each starts full the first time it's equipped in a level and keeps its own ammo after that ([Ammo] InfiniteAmmo brings back bottomless guns).
• Loot consumables are only Hand Grenades and health, tool and ammo kits ([Loot]), plus Stim Packs when switched on - the Stim Pack is off by default for now. Artifacts stay as rare as vanilla.
• Swap weapons in a level by pressing a slot's own key again (1 to 4 by default, following rebinds): the gear you dropped in with joins the cycle the first time you swap. No keys of its own - the Page Up / Page Down / Home keys and the [Gear Cycling] settings are gone. The weapon's name shows for three seconds on the line under the crosshair.
• Config: every weapon has its own on/off switch (<Weapon> Enabled, pistol and rifle versions separately), and 200+ settings retune them - damage, rate of fire, ranges, blasts, the Katana's dash, Mjolnir's throw, the Warhammer's shockwave and slam, the Shadow Dagger's stealth, Chain Lightning's jump count, every sound, and more. [Tentacles] PoolMultiplier raises how many tentacles the game can draw at once. Full reference in the README.
• Fix: the Shadow Dagger's purple no longer sticks to the weapon you swap to. Its glow goes out the moment the dagger leaves your hand, and the stealth tint gives each weapon back its own look when it ends, even if one part fails to restore.
• The Chain Lightning Gun now glows a soft violet while it's in your hand - the purple the Shadow Dagger used to leave on it by mistake, kept on purpose as the gun's own glow.
