Changelog

0.7.2

• Fixed PEAK's item material-property cache overwriting rival translucency after drops, placement, item-data updates, and hover transitions.
• Reapplies owner presentation after relevant item state changes while preserving the existing owner-only pickup and use guards.
• Restricted each Scout Cannon's close-range push/pull field and player launch effect to the racer who placed it.
• Prevented Scout Cannons from launching rival-owned items while retaining their visible translucent presentation.

0.7.1

• Made equipped backpacks and fanny packs strictly owner-only in race mode.
• Blocked rival backpack prompts, hold interactions, wheel initialization, item selection, stashing, fueling, and inventory RPC mutation.
• Changed missing or unresolved equipped-backpack ownership to fail closed instead of allowing access.

0.7.0

• Added in-menu rebinding for the F6 menu and F7 compact-HUD controls, including conflict-safe key swapping.
• Replaced the package thumbnail with original PEAK character fan art and preserved the full-resolution source in the project.
• Fixed non-host drops passing PEAK's master-only spawn branch locally and public racer drops being mistaken for world loot, which caused linked duplicates, invisible host drops, repeated backpack copies, and opaque non-host drops.
• Made logical ownership explicit for held, dropped, backpack-display, rope, piton, vine, and constructed objects without treating ordinary master-owned world objects as host loot.
• Added owner-only interaction guards across PEAK interactible types, including piton handles, ropes, vines, and placed fuses, while keeping rival objects visible at ghost opacity.
• Added host-authoritative backpack inventory resync and stale visual cleanup to prevent suitcase-to-pack item loss and ghost contents.

0.6.0

• Added a strict lobby compatibility handshake: PeakVs gameplay remains disabled unless every active player advertises the exact same mod version.
• Restored vanilla Scoutmaster and multiplayer-loot behavior whenever the compatibility gate is not satisfied.
• Added an F7 full/compact HUD toggle. Compact mode displays only the local racer's live or latched split time.
• Added an explicit disabled/version warning to the F6 menu for mixed or unmodded lobbies.

0.5.0

• Removed recurring scene-wide item, Photon-view, Scoutmaster, and campfire searches from gameplay updates.
• Replaced one coroutine per discovered item with a bounded shared-item work queue.
• Added object-local presentation caches that are released with their object instead of retaining destroyed renderers and colliders globally.
• Changed growing ropes to process only new renderers and collision pairs instead of reprocessing every existing segment.
• Uses material property blocks for PEAK shaders with native opacity support, avoiding unnecessary material instances and preserving more renderer batching.
• Reduced routine room-state, checkpoint, standings, menu, and font-search work while keeping the timer at tenths.
• Avoided redundant cached ownership events for normal player-owned items and bounded the remaining ownership/event caches by object lifetime.

0.4.0

• Restored PEAK's host-authoritative dropped-item lifecycle, fixing observer-only drops, stale pickup copies, and repeated backpack ghosts.
• Added shader-compatible translucency for held, dropped, worn, and placed rival objects.
• Limited ghost ownership processing to explicitly tagged racer effects so luggage and ancient statues remain solid and collidable.
• Removed rival rope and chain interaction prompts and hardened owner-only use for rescue claws, anti-ropes, dynamite, lantern safe zones, Magic Bean vines, Mandrakes, and Ritual Daggers.
• Kept Scout Effigies blocked at both loot generation and construction time.
• Changed ancient statues to give each racer their normal private mystical-item roll instead of an Ancient Idol or a cross-player revive.
• Reduced timer precision to tenths, removed duplicate live row timers, and hides the large shared timer once racer splits differ.
• Reduced repeated renderer, collider, and standings work to improve frame-time stability.

0.3.0

• Made held, thrown, and placed rival items visible at low opacity while keeping them owner-only.
• Disabled player/player and rival-item collisions, including thrown-item impacts against other racers.
• Applied the ghost treatment to worn packs and disabled chicken replacement visuals in race mode.
• Made worn backpack and fanny-pack contents owner-only and fixed stale contents after removing an item.
• Fixed matched luggage generation by deterministically seeding both random-number sources used by PEAK.
• Added a host toggle for matched versus independent luggage rolls.
• Reduced the standings HUD size and repaired menu label bounds and button contrast.

0.2.0

• Replaced the prototype IMGUI standings with a resolution-scaled TextMeshPro HUD using PEAK's display font.
• Added an F6 menu for HUD visibility, HUD scale, and rival opacity.
• Added host-only controls for automatic checkpoint advancement, split restarts, and checkpoint recovery.
• Added synchronized split generations so a host restart resets all racer states and times.

0.1.0

• Added synchronized per-biome race timers and standings.
• Added latched finish and FF checkpoint results with automatic campfire progression.
• Added checkpoint revival for dead racers.
• Added independent luggage, respawn-statue, and shared-world loot.
• Added owner-private inventory items, network-spawned item effects, and rope interaction.
• Added translucent, non-interacting rival scouts.
• Added campfire hunger protection.
• Disabled Scoutmaster and multiplayer-only loot.
