Changelog

0.3.0 : - Added melee attack animations (still WIP).

• Added body collisions and ragdoll components.

• Changes to skills:

  • Increased Lightning Cross's (Primary) wave proc coefficient from 0 to 1.
  • Set Lightning Cross's (Primary) secondary blast proc coefficient to 0.
  • Increased Ardent Ring's (Fire Secondary) initial damage from 400% to 600%.
  • Decreased Ardent Ring's (Fire Secondary) attach proc coefficient from 1 to 0.4.
  • Decreased Ardent Ring's (Fire Secondary) attach tick count from 6 to 5.
  • Increased Surge's (Lightning Secondary) bounce range from 25 to 35.
  • Increased Surge's (Lightning Secondary) proc coeffient from 0 to 0.5.
  • Decreased Surge's (Lightning Secondary) damage from 400% to 300%.
  • Set Cryospire's (Ice Secondary) proc coefficient to 1.
  • Added Venting Step (Utility) elemental effects. The elemental effects are the same as Cross (Primary).
  • Flagged Venting Step (Utility) as a combat skill.
  • Updated element switching mechanics internally (no noticable difference in-game).
  • Removed Agile from Cross (Primary).
  • Developer Notes: I'm doing a rough balance pass on Manipulator, giving his secondary (hopefully) more appropriate proc values and number changes. Cross is no longer Aglie to fit with animations better.

• Changes to stats:

  • Decreased base health from 100 to 90.
  • Increased level health from 26 to 27.
  • Increased base regen from 1.25/s to 2.5/s.
  • Increase level regen from 0.2 to 0.5.
  • Reduced armor from 20 to 0.
  • Developer Notes: Manipulator is effectively a Ranged/Melee hybrid, so I'm giving him stats to match that of melee and ranged vanilla survivors. Higher regen (like melee) but lower health (like ranged). Armor is removed as for now, as melee is meant to be risk-reward for him.

• Fixes:

  • Fixed: 'Cross's (Primary) melee attack is missing.'
  • Fixed: 'Cross's (Primary) wave doesn't spawn if attack speed is too high.'
  • Fixed: Holding down Secondary fired Ardent Ring (Fire Secondary) quickly if Backup Magazines were held.
  • Fixed: 'Surge (Lightning Secondary) cannot be used after using Venting Step (Utility) while attuned to Lightning.'
  • Fixed: 'Surge's (Lightning Secondary) targeting indicator doesn't hide correctly.'
  • Fixed: 'Surge (Lightning Secondary) may not fire correctly if cast shorty after (or during) ECE Cycle (Special'
  • Fixed: Icon reset occurs if you press 'Quit to Menu' but don't quit.
