thewreck on Cobalt Discord 24 April 2017
Cobalt WASD, V140 changelog:
Stun gun shots are now deflected by the Bullet Shield.

Round events like “whole team survived” etc, now properly synced.
Speakers on boulevard now correctly emit notes on client.
Clients throwing disarmed grenades should be fixed.
Sentries now fold out correctly on clients.
Slots in the hud will now darken the items if they can’t be used (due to no ammo, or insufficient battery power)
Sentries no longer deploys against doors or crates.
Sentries now keep seeking back and forth even when out of combat, but at a slower pace than usual. This makes them a little more visible, as well as adding a measure of timing to engaging them.
Sentry hitbox has been increased slightly.
Players no longer remain in the map if they are revived after the round is over but before the round has been cleaned up.
The Metalface “Walker” vehicle now has jet thruster to fly with,
Being radioactive no longer causes random jerks to aim and movement. It still tracks you on map.
Improved collision detection of all fast bullets.
Fixed case where players could be listed in both teams when joining server.
A rejoining player now correctly rejoins the other team if a half-time side switch took place in-between disconnecting and reconnecting.
Physical lights should dance less. Will need to be verified.
Improved accuracy of energy shield hit logic.
Fixed a bug with “teams maxed” triggering wrongly.
Fixed a sound bug that could cause many sounds to be played when a bullet hit a player that has a super shield given to it by a team mate.
Bots are more economical with dashing
Fixed bug where “Cobalt WASD” would think it was in trial mode if you did not own “Cobalt”.

v141
thewreck on Cobalt Discord 25 April 2017
V141
Force Emitter is more visually obvious when it is activated.
Bomb icon is now displayed over your own character too, but only during the buy phase.
Simplified mouse aim logic: 1) Mouse is now limited to a rectangle around the player instead of a circle, 2) Removed the “no-camera-movement-zone” when close to the player. This should make mouse movement less jittery given the fact that the camera would offset with different amounts when moving straight horizontal across the screen.
Moved mouse options out into its own settings.
Added crosshair settings.
Added a little more spacing between the different categories in shop.
Added a hover volt icon to the team shop
Moved mouse hover in shop further down to not obstruct what you are hovering.
Melee item is no longer dark in the UI by default.
Mouse aim is no longer reset when entering/exiting shop.

v150
thewreck on Cobalt Discord 12 May 2017
V150
Winning / Losing by time-out now only gives the lower amount to the players that actually were alive at the end. The players that are dead will still get the regular winning/losing amount.
Changed loss streak bonus calculation to: 0/20/40/60/80 instead of 0/15/30/45/60. This should make the losing side catch up a little faster and level out at a higher possible ceiling.
Improved synchronization of doors which should mean that quick-peeking through a door and shooting or tossing a grenade should result in more expected results.
Improved the input handling for text chat. Hopefully we should no longer get the stuck issue.
Fixed size calculation of text chat stopping at certain control characters. Certain smileys should now not break the black background.
Added (TEAM-NAME) to the team-text chat to further clarify how it works.
Renamed “Special” and “Details” to “Context 1” and “Context 2” to more accurately reflect how they actually work.

Switching team now also removes any brain that you own.
Fixed some possibly bug-causing lingering states from revives.
Fixed throwing getting stuck bug.
Added another spinner when hosting/joining to more accurately reflect what is happening..
Increased height of minimap on Sand, Night, Boulevard, Government, Hotel, Mansion.
Removed some bad ai on Anthill and filled holes in minimap.
Mansion changes: Reworked many angles to be a little bit more simple. Added some needed options to the rather straight lower path. In general opening up some unnecessarily tight rooms.
Fixed bug where Ai-Bots could be forever stuck in sneaking mode.

V151
Fixed bug where Bot-skill could become capped at a lower value than intended.
Fixed streaks resetting each round.
Destroying a player that has a killstreak going of 2 or more will give the destroyer a kill-streak breaker bonus (more volts!).
Removed generic say texts from the scoreboard. Only emotes go there now, and the chats go in the chat log + on your actor.
Cleaned up some odd rendering in the scoreboard of names.
Added identity to the scoreboard so that you can see if it an AI.
Added player LEVEL + EXP system!
Exp is given for completing matches based partly on your performance in the game.
Player level will be shown next to your name. Playing versus players of higher level will yield more exp. Playing vs players of lower level will yield less exp. Playing vs humans will give more than playing vs bots.
Levels unlock various options, like new announcer voice packs, special crosshair sprites, emotes, and more to come later.
Added some new emotes to the random category.
You now get more volts for kills in the warm-up.
Fixed invulnerable protobots on anthill after bomb explosion.
Added actual names to the crosshair styles.
When selecting an emote in the menu, you now get a preview spoken by the characters in the background.
For the v151, this is the current EXP multiplier breakdown:
kills = 1,
teamkills = -5,
assists = 1, --assists, like flashbangs and so on.
support = 1, --heal/revive
collectedEnergy = 1/30, --volts gained
roundsPlayed = 5,
this should give you an idea of about how total exp gained is calculated
this is then multiplied with a value based on how high/low level your opposing team is.

v152
thewreck on Cobalt Discord 17 May 2017
V152
Fixed Time Jumper not always teleporting.
Time Booster has been reworked to Timeline Alternator. Timeline alternator boosts time a little less, but while active it will in return absorb your first damage taken, and teleport you back to where the ability was activated. The aborbed damage will be considered “heals” if it would not have killed you, and “revive” if it would have, for the purpose of stats.
You can now hold the ability button for 0.5 seconds to disable your ability. Disabling your ability will drain your entire battery and add an ability use cooldown of 6 seconds.
You now gets exp for bomb disarms, bomb plants, and bomb detonations too.
Updated build to crash less when leveling up

You can now exit the buy menu by pressing the right mouse button.
Added extra level unlock check for people that crashing during leveling up so that you are ensured to get your unlocks.
Disable ability cooldown reduced from 6 to 3 seconds.
Fixed bug that caused timeline alternator to not drain any battery when teleported back.
Renamed “battery” to “reactor”, and improved description with the following: “Super Reactor: Will double your reactor capacity and increase charge speed by 70%”. (which it does! It just didn’t say)
Emp effects / Forced drains of reactor now also reset the charging speed of the reactor temporarily. The charging speed will be restored over 2 seconds.
Dashing now acts more cleanly physically against walls.
Wall-Rolls added! Move against a wall in the air and press jump, to perform a roll propelling you up along the wall! You character will reach out towards to wall to indicate that wall-rolling is possible.
Unlocks now keep their level badge even after they are unlocked so that you can see at which level each item was unlocked at.
Fixed spacing between items in lists at higher resolutions.
Centered some icons and strings in the menues.
Getting teamkills with the bomb is no longer counted.

V154
Fixed missing platform physical on a piece of metal palisade. Fixes an unexpected fall on mansion lower site.
Added a penalty to wall-rolling up into the ceiling. Now the rolling stops, and you cannot roll again for a little while. This makes it harder to stay rolled up in the top of a corner.
Fixed experience counter in the main menu not updating correctly.
Changed Experience required to level up formula. It now starts at 1500 and goes up a little faster.
Improved the item stats calculation so that the Emp Launcher correctly lists emp damage in the list of stats.
Fixed score counters not aligning at higher resolutions.
Fixed minimap possibly getting corrupted when switching between fullscreen modes with alt+enter.
Radioactive attacks do about 67% less damage, but the gamma effect lasts about 50% longer. They also move about 10% faster through walls.
Radioactive crossbow spikes now expire after 1.5 seconds, making them not able to fly from spawn to spawn, but more around half the map.
Nano pump has slightly more bullet speed and rate of fire.
Change round end logic: As long as a player is being revived on the eliminated team, the round will not end.
Stealth now sets your hull colors to the default colors for the duration of being cloaked. Your white eye/mouth highlight is also disabled for the purpose of showing you more accurately how you actually look.

Healing station now costs 10 volts.
Matter prototype bullet speed increased by 14% (which also increases its range the same)
Matter prototype recoil reduced by 50%
Matter prototype rate of fire increased by 15%
Adjusted Slugger Revolution to be slightly less intense on the ears.
Chrono effects such as caused by the time rod, time jumper, dissipate at both a relative and a constant rate, the relative rate is now 10% quicker, but the constant rate remains the same. This means extreme time slowdowns dissipate close to 10% faster, while small ones dissipate close to the old rate.
Time Distortion ability on the metalfaces explorer hull has been tweaked. The ability should now work better when two suits are active no longer potentially causing them to slow down each other more than they should. The relative time bonus of the ability has also been increased by 16% (meaning you can do more in relation to the speed on the incoming bullets).
Emp launcher: Synchronized proximity feedback for missiles, clients should no longer get a spam of red lines, but instead just 1!
Bomb can no longer be planted on movable boxes.
Bomb can no longer be planted on side walls.
Bomb now cannot deploy for too far off from where you are planting to mitigate odd bugs!
Change default warmup time ingame to 15.
Rounds, round time limit and warmup time settings are now correctly saved between games.
Sand tweaked, making the first house a bit more interesting and giving the Protobots more path options.
v155 - Continued
Fixed rare case where round would not end with bomb planted, and whole opposing team dead.
Fixed a visual lamp layering issue on Mansion.
Healing should now no longer be able to heal brains that got destroyed while healing was in transit.
Fixed case where bomb planting could cause an enormous amount of sounds being played unrelated to bomb planting.
The camera will now automatically observe your brain if it is being revived.
When holding a healing pump, or a healing station ready to throw, your hud will show possible targets to revive with green plus signs shown against the border of the screen.
When you are revived, a message will now inform you of this on screen, and a special sound will play, and your character will be marked with a ring of your teams color.
Have possibly improved speed at which peer connection errors can be resolved. Before they could be delayed by up to 20 seconds even though they needed not be.
Stolen jet bikes can now be damaged correctly. They will also change owner so that at the end of round they will spawn in the new team's spawn.
Bullets deflected by the Bullet Deflector ability now change color to indicate their new collision mask.

The Predator mech on protobots now has an Emp Cannon (Rail cannon with emp effect) instead of a rocket launcher.
The jetbike is now more bottom heavy and has less friction on the landing gears, as well as not flipping its facing when it is upside down with landinggears. This should make it roll around less, and even if it does, it should flicker less when doing so.
Fixed a case where a bot would fail to be removed from a team, so you would end up having too many bots.
Fixed bug where players could permanently get 0 stats and 0 volts after rejoining.
Fixed bug where clients could be told they “combo killed 0 X”. This is now synced correctly.
You can now start an offline game with 0 bots and still continue past buying phase.
Fixed a number of bugs related to camera-tracking jerkiness when switching what you are observing.

Added a reaction delay to bots being “stood on” and “standing on” players for the purpose of dashing.
Bug where dashing could cause extreme effects has been fixed.
Dashing damage reduced by 90%.
Dashing hit effect is now scaled with the speed and fade of the dash anim. This means that when dashing from standstill against something that is standing point blank, the dash will be much less powerful.
Actually increased disarm timer to 3 now. Change was not implemented.
Bomb timer increased to 26s, was 25s.
Changed the players being 50% brighter effect to scale with cloaking so that cloaked players are not brightened to the same degree. This accidentally caused dark areas to be worse for cloaking since your bright cloaked hull would stand out even more against the dark background.
Protobot Fighting Stick has been replaced by a Spear. Spear has 72 range while stick had 62. This will make it less like the scimitar with its 50 range.
AI-Bots now don’t instantly change perception of you when you cloak, but instead fade their idea of how cloaked you are smoothly. This will make them track you a little when you cloak, but also not track you instantly when you uncloak.

Reworked abilities friend logic. Now the friend effect works like auras where the friend effect remains on for as long as the suit that is creating it, but allies need to stay within range to keep the effect active.
Normalized range for all friend abilities to 300. Cloak, shield was 250, alternator was 350.
Friends affected by the ability aura now also have a feedback bolt for the shield and chrono effect, while the cloak has a temporary indicator that fades out.
Multiple effects from friends can now be layered on the same target, meaning you can be both shielded and cloaked, or shielded by 2 friends.
Improved synchronization of effects which means that if you incorrectly predicted an effect being applied, it should be corrected by the server.
Timeline alternator no longer empties the reactor when teleported. Instead, each teleport costs 1 reactor ball for the chrono hull that applied the effect. Only if the teleport happens to the causing actor does the armor ability deactivate.
Improved synchronization/prediction verification of item activation logic. This should make sure that the server and client should no longer be able to fall out of sync in regards to item active state (ability use, jet shoes use, dashing…).
Now that abilities no longer create fire and forget ally effects, the abort ability cooldown has been removed, and the reactor cost for aborting an ability has been reduced to 1 energy, from 4.
Added more debug print-outs when coroutines die in release
Fixed ally cloaking effect becoming permanent.
Players now also remove brains from map when they leave, not just switch teams.
Maybe fixed player rank missing
Corrected bugged string on melee weapons. It now correctly shows the volt bonus.
Fixed appdata path for console logs. They should now all appear in Cobalt WASD, instead of Cobalt.

Cobalt:
Hold the fort shop position fix.
Fixed some inaccurate physics on a deathshroom rock tile causing a certain slope not to be aligned correctly.

Bot shopping AI has been recoded from scratch.
Duck jump hop and regular hop now gives the same speed boost. (about middle between the two)
Reduced the ducking gravity increase to 60% extra, instead of 75% extra.
Increased control of releasing jump key before reaching peak jump. Now you can cancel jump height about 50% stronger.
Made recoil reset about 50% stronger when standing still or ducking, and about 50% weaker when jumping around and running. The total recoil is still very small, but it can be noticed when spamming certain high-recoil guns. The reasoning for this is with the reduced damage model and improved jumping, the reasons for not jumping around maximally in a fight became fewer, so this increases slightly the reasons for finding ways to shoot from solid ground.
Rocket launcher now has 3 ammo, was 2.
Rocket launcher cooldown between shots now 1.1s, was 0.35s.
Rocket launcher reload time now 3.75s, was 1.3s.

Warmup can now be skipped if all player agree to be ready. When all are ready, it will take 6s for warmup to be skipped and a skipping sound is played.
End of warmup is snappier and some delays are skipped if it is an offline game.
Added a command line option -force_warmup which causes warmups to not be skippable.
Player icons are now shown in warmup, they show if a player is ready to start.
Cobalt & WASD:
Missiles of all kinds now only do 33% damage when out of fuel and their explosion is also only 33% as big.
Missles of all kinds no longer lose their trail when out of fuel.
Changing controls of a non-customized preset will now restore the defaults of the customized preset before switching over to it. This way when you start with the default standard controls, and have a customized controls preset, changing one key doesn’t suddenly change all the keys. This is closer to what you expect to happen.
Changing preset keys no longer causes all keys to display as “?”
Fixed “unknown has connected” when another client joins a server in which a client is already present.
Energy Box growing is now correctly synced on clients.
Energy Box hit feedback is now correctly synced on client.

If they have > 50 volts, they will agree to half-eco. If they have more then 100 volts, they will not agree to eco.
Bots can respond to requests for a drop if they feel they have enough volts to replace the weapon they gift at least somewhat.
Bots are now a little bit more realistic about their own jumping abilities causing them to try less impossible jumps.
Bots are now better at jumping over physical boxes and small ledges.
Bots are now better at following intricate paths which they sometimes would skip before causing them to fail completely.

Changed shield logic so that you can always activate it, but if you are reloading or planting / defusing bomb, you will cancel those actions.
Shield speed penalty now 50%, was 40%.
Shield now more accurately defends when the animation indicates that it does. (it would instantly defend as you pressed shift before, now the animation actually matters)
Shield hits now makes you fly backwards and become temporarily slowed.
Shield no longer has health, but instead a regenerating charge. This is represented by the opacity of the shield as it gets damaged. If the shield is completely gone, you can still hold it up, but it will not block any shots.
The Shield charge health is 75. Meaning if it absorbs a matter war shot to the body, it will still do 25 damage.
The Shield charge regenerates 5 charge / second.

Old “Play Online” is now called “Server Browser”.
New “Play Online” added, which works like a kind of matchmaking:
Play Online will find someone else to play with (players on a server, players in a steam lobby, other players also searching), and take steps to get a game going. In the case of servers or steam lobbies, you will join them. In the case of other players searching, your searches will merge and you will then either join a server/lobby or optionally, one of you will automatically host a game.
Play Online is brand new, and we plan to add some more options to give players a little more control over exactly which filters are used when searching, but for now it will not match you with servers/lobbies/players above 100 ping, and it will make sure that you do not play alone.
Play Online can be in active while you play on another server waiting for someone else, or you can play offline with bots while you search.
New “Party” system added.
Party system can be found in the bottom left corner, it will show your steam avatar. Click “Create Party” to create a party, and then click the portrait buttons with the “+” on them to invite friends. As the party leader, you will control what the party does. If you join a server or click “Play Online”, your party members will also join that server or play online with you and servers/lobbies will be filtered to make sure that your whole party can fit in them.
If you are a party member, you can still exit a server that your party has made you automatically join, but doing so will give you a “join game” button above the party avatars, where you can rejoin the game your party is currently playing.
In the Party ui, clicking the avatars will pull up your friends steam profile page.
Given that both Play Online and the Party system are brand new, I especially ask of everyone using them to please give us feedback regarding bugs, comments or issues.

Time Jumper debuff effect spark a bit more smooth and less aggressive on the eyes, and it is easier to see the amount of debuff by the size of the sparks.

Time Jumper speed bonus when teleported increased from 30 to 40, but it now also removes 25% of the speed before. This makes the Time Jumps a bit smoother when using them during a fall (less gravity survives to the end of the jump), and it keeps the time jumper speed more manageable when used at high speeds and repeatedly, as well as being more reliable when using from no speed.

Features
Game now supports dedicated servers! Look in your tools section for “Cobalt Dedicated Server”. Install it and read the readme.txt for further instructions!
Game now supports custom maps while playing online. Host a lobby, switch Resource Storage from “Official” to “Workshop”, and select from your subscribed workshop maps there! Players joining your lobby will be asked to subscribe and download the map.
Game now supports more extensive modding and mods can be used online. Simply subscribe to a mod and then activate it under “help & options” -> “mods”. When hosting a game online, other players will automatically subscribe to the mods and activate them prior to joining.
Statistics has been added! Access them from the main menu!

Content
Added a new enemy “Spring Bot”. It appears in chapter 4 in story.
Added a new enemy “Walker”. It appears in the chapter 2 and 3 in story. Also added as replace for predators in certain waves in survival where it fits the theme better.
Added new weapon “Mini Launcher”. Launches many small missiles. Upgrades: “Homing Device”, “Extended Magazine”. Uses “Missile” ammo. It has been added to story and survival mode.
Added new weapon “Shrapnel Launcher”. Launches a rocket that explodes into 9 rail shots in all directions on impact or when timer runs out. Upgrades: “Proximity Sensor”, “Extended Magazine”. Uses “Missile” ammo. It has been added to story and survival mode.
Added new weapon “Rocket Launcher”. Launches a fast rocket with a medium explosion. Upgrades: “Scope”, “Extended Magazine”. Uses “Missile” ammo. It has been added to story and survival mode.
Added new weapon “Thermal Launcher”. Launches a slow fat missile that explodes like a smaller “Thermal Bomb” on impact or when timer runs out. Upgrades: “Homing Device”. Uses “Missile” ammo. It has been added to story and survival mode.
Added new weapon “Chrono Shifter”. Shoots a projectile that when it hits something or expires, it first explodes causing everything around it to go slower and secondly teleports the responsible player to the center of the explosion while also adding speed. Upgrades: “Power Crystal”, “Scope”, “Extended Magazine”. Uses “Chrono Charges” ammo. “Chrono Hulls” are more resistant to this weapon. It has been added to story and survival mode.
Game-play:
Added more unique loot throughout story, in particular more extra lives and batteries around boss fights.
Grenades and throwables now have a much bouncier first bounce. They will also be targetable by your own auto-aim and bullets after the first bounce.
”Missile Launcher” slightly snappier ignition time, slightly more level launching angle, and slightly less effect from the shooting players speed.
In “Survival” all enemies now have a more uniform color theme, making it easier to distinguish friend from foe.
”Ninja” cloth and goggles are now damage indicator.
”Ninjas” now becomes temporarily slowed when damaged similar to Guards.
”Ninja” cloth is now a team color indicator.
”Fly” wings and eyes are now team color indicator
”Wasp” wings and eyes are now team color indicator
”Spikebird” eyes are now team color indicator
”Trunkan” eyes are now team color indicator

”Heal”, “Restore Gamma” and “Sooth Heat/Cold” now display healing / second instead of total. Total “Effect Duration” is listed separately.
Fires and furnaces and other warming sources now work 500% better. They will never explode you due to overheating, but they will warm you much better.
”Heat”, “Cold”, “Radioactivity” have been slightly reworked in relation to shields. Before, “Shield Belts” would nullify the effect sometimes and other times the effect would pass straight through. When it did what, was a bit unclear. Instead, Shields now have effect resistances. For example, if you get hit by a “Molotov”, with an un-upgraded Shield-Belt, 50% of the heat effect is absorbed by the shield, losing charge in the process. “Nitrogen Grenades” used to 100% penetrate shields, and have often been used for this purposes in many death-match maps. Don’t worry, a direct hit by a “Nitrogen Grenade” vs an un-upgraded shield will still inflict enough “cold” to destroy the target, but the difference becomes apparent when the shield has lots of upgrades.
Wall mounted turrets, alarms and sentries can now be moved around with the “Materializer Gun”.
Improved and smoothed camera look-ahead in speed challenges.
Releasing left or right while flying tilted through the air as a metalface now restores air rotation.
”Force device” now hits more targets in the arc when used.
Marketplace items and “Unique Loot” items are now indestructible.
Pickups now sink in water, instead of float.
”Survival” now scales difficulty for enemy spawns slightly less for number of players, while still retaining the amount of attacks and size of attacks. Was (0 to 1.75) is now (0 to 1).
Changed default actor class for customized rules to “Agent”.
All low-tech melee weapons increased damage by 75%.
Chrono bomb sphere of influence is more clearly marked.
Radioactive projectiles can now pass through walls but they will fly slower and lose power.
Being radioactive no longer randomly blocks key actions like shooting, reloading and picking up objects.
Radioactive targets are now visible on the hud offscreen through a small marker.
Nano dispenser gas is now faster to easier catch up with running players.
Nano dispenser gas and Nano pump gas now only heals yourself and friendly actors, unless it explodes as which point it will still heal anyone.
Camera tracking in challenges has been tweaked down a little to be less extreme with the route prediction, and it now also zooms out a bit more during high speeds.
Nerfed most enemy shield belts in adventure and removed a bunch of them as well.
Added more ammo, loot and extra lives to the first chapter in story.
Reduced the amount of radioactivity from radioactive environmental drops by 50%.
Bugs:
Fixed capture the plug score limit defaulting to 10, now defaults to 5.
Fixed jet shoes climbing issue
Fixed nexus report being added the player database when it was never supposed to.
Fixed potential double reporting of kill
Fixed not being able to dance to music while riding pets/vehicles.

Fixed loading workshop maps that shared filename with an official map.
Fixed Gui in map editor not sorting properly when elements too big when picking from the left menu.
Fixed flames and beams being hitable with melee weapons.
Exiting adventure through other portals after beating bosses will now still count as “completing” the node. All save games that have unlocked story nodes that are not “completed” will be given 1 free restart to use when you see fit.
Shop maps in story no longer save player dropped items on ground.
Fixed bug where “Scouter Feet” would not drop from the scouter statue in “Deathshrooms”. Added “Scouter Feet” and to resupply station 1 behind cipher door.
Fixed bug where some enemies would not apply certain armor related damage multipliers in the right way.
Fixed a number of random crashes in online.
Fixed bug related to push-doors that are horisontal not always being one-way in the correct way.
Sometimes bot actors would remain for too long when a player joins mid game with balance bots.
Fixed the rig not resetting properly after switching weapon away after a melee attack sometimes making your attacks be inaccurate.
Made unique loot and blueprint ultra legendary loot always reserved for player. That way a helper cannot snatch your epic loot from under your nose.
Reduced intensity of light shafts in certain ETACs to reduce the amount of white-out.
Fixed possible crash in survival when playing online due to exceeding MAX PACKET SIZE when trying to continue after defeat.
Fixed muzzle flash and sounds effects not playing when a host player shoots a weapons with just 1 ammo.
Fixed possible crash for when heat/gamma/health/chrono exceeds network limits
Editor:
Double clicking a tile that belongs to a tileset now defaults to picking the tileset. CTRL+Double click to force pick the specific tile, or right click and select “Pick Tile”. This behaviour can be changed in Options -> Pick-Mode.
Added mod editor! F9 to access. Mod editor allows you to create a new mod resource for uploading to the steam workshop.
Added a ton of new collision tiles, decorative tiles and more.
Added 3 new actor types, Walker, Spring Bot and Protobot.
Other:
Simplified the menu shader color distortion and raised the crispness of the entire menu.
Made the online menues more like the arcade menues.
Put arcade map descriptions in a box for better alignment!
Settings have been split into 3 categories -> graphics, sound and system.
We are calling the update: COBALT - MODS, CUSTOM MAPS ONLINE, ENEMIES & WEAPONS UPDATE!

* You can buy "Scouter" and "Heavy", 150 and 300 health respectively, Scouter is a bit faster than explorer, heavy is slower.
* All players regenerate health after 4 seconds since taking damage.
* Most weapons have more ammo
* Generally slower bullets overall
* Scoped weapons have slower bullets overall, but a significant bullet speed bonus when scoping.
* Explosions in general deal damage towards the center of the explosion (was linear falloff, now 0.67 exponent)

* Matter shotgun has more projectiles, tighter spread, longer range.
* Matter war has lower damage
* Rocket launcher has more damage
* Dead rockets and swarm missles have bigger explosions.

(Message link(s): https://discord.com/channels/144498931785531392/796618088551940097/797182149597200434 )
v270
Janeator on 8 January 2021
v270
*Shield added as equipment instead of suit. Permanently activated, 100 health, 12s cooldown (when disabled). No Aura!
*Time Bubble added as equipment instead of suit. Permanently activated, lower bullet-time power, lower range
*Timeline Aura added as equipment instead of suit, but it has no survive death effect. Permanently activated, lower time acceleration (+15%), 12s cooldown (when disabled), No Aura!
*Cloaking added as equipment instead of suit. Permanently activated, temporarily decloaks when any noisy action is performed (shoot, double jump, reload, and so on...). 12s cooldown (when disabled), No Aura!
* All moved abilities cost 20.
* Most weapons have higher damage (matter war, matter cannon, matter bolt, matter gun, cobra, sub, machine, rifle, crossbow)
* Matter cannon 8->6 bullets, and reversed increased damage. Lower max ammo. A bit lower bullet speed as well as bullet lifetime.
* Matter bolt, rifle, machine and police all have increased damage, and lowered attack speed, especially on police.
* Matter police has lower max ammo.
* Cobra and submachinegun has slightly lower shoot speed but more damage.
* Bomb defuse timer is now 4.25s instead of 5s.
* Bomb timer increased 30s -> 34s.
* Bullets have slightly shorter reach in general (0.8 -> 0.7)
* known bug: ability equipment bugs out if you survive the round.

v271
Janeator on 8 January 2021
v271
* Increase swarm launcher muzzle velocity, 8->20
* Increase swarm launcher thrust 25->35
* Increase swarm launcher carving 0.005->0.01
* Stun Gun damage increased by 100%
* Stun Gun cooldown increased by 33%
* Added a new damage type "Explosive" which is used to better explain an already existing mechanic: Many attacks dont get the critical hit damage multiplier, which was hard to understand when they simply said "damage" in the ui, just like regular old guns. Stun Gun, Rocket Launcher, Swarm Launcher, Grenades, are affected.
* Fixed bug causing exploding projectile launching weapons (Swarm launcher, Rocket launcher), to display roughly double the amount of damage they actually dealt in the ui.
* Fixed bug causing grenades to show an inaccurate damage amount in the ui (varied).
* Changed proximity calculations globally in WASD. It now removes the obj/target radius with a multiplier from the center of proximity calculations in a more accurate way, meaning explosions will actually deal 100% damage to enemies when you impact with them using projectiles and grenades.
* Stick Grenade and Grenade have both had their damage reduced from 150 to 88 damage, but also had their explosion radius increased a lot (1.3 -> 2.0 and 0.9 -> 1.75), as well as the explosion inverse exponent changed from 1.5 to 1.75, which should mean they pose a more consistent threat to a larger area, but less extreme.
* Time Bubble is nerfed. It gives less bullet time power.
* Start of round ability bugs fixed.
* Fixed visuals for time bubble for clients
* Increased radioactive projectile speed by about +125%, also made them move about 50% faster through walls.
* Radioactive Grenade, increased emitted projectiles from 7 to 12.
* Radioactive Grenade, increased emit arc to 270 degrees
* Radioactive Grenade, increased emit speed from 30 to 60.
* Radioactive Grenade, reduced radioactive damage per projectile from 0.98 to 0.5
* Shield now regenerates slowly after 4 seconds out of combat, similar to health.
* Matter cannon bigger spread 0.005 -> 0.01.
* Matter cannan slower bullets 38 -> 35.
* ChronoShifter increased explosion range, 500 -> 800.
* ChronoShifter reduced explosive force emitted 12 -> 4.
* Increased max stack of protobot grenade to 4.
* Nitrogen grenade, reduced amount of explosion cold from 400 to 75
* Nitrogen grenade, increased range of both explosion and idle emit by about 50%.
* Molotov, increased amount of molotov cores from 7 to 10.
* Molotov, increased core emitted speed from 10 to 16.
* Molotov, increased core attack range from 50 to 75.
* Fixed changing controls for new mouse buttons not working until game restart

v272 (Experimental)
thewreck on 8 January 2021
This iteration is based on a bunch of different feedback, a bunch of it from above here in this channel, but also based on my own experience playing the last iteration. My general feeling was that the combat takes place a bit too much in the edges of the screen, requiring you to have your camera quite off center most of the time. So i started thinking about ways to try and center the combat more. My initial thinking is that i need to slow down the bullets more and bring in the range to allow people to have a chance to dodge. But i also don't want to just have endless dodging as gameplay, even close up, so as a second part of this effort, i wanted jumping to feel riskier in combat, by making your movement while in the air be easier to predict, (and harder to predict while on the ground)
v272 exprimental
* Removed use input hint for abilities
* Removed unused ability hud slot.
In an effort to try and move the combat closer to the "middle of the screen", and make engaging at max range less likely to succeeed, and make being on the ground more advantagues:
* Slowed down bullet globally by 31%
* Reduced bullet range globally by 7%
* Reduced bullet range for matter bolt and rifle by 20%
* Reduced bullet speed for matter bolt and rifle by 7%
* Reduced air control by 50%. (Does not change overall speed or mobility, but does make it less snappy to change direction in air)
* Increased ground control by 50%. (Increases overall snappyness on ground, and ability to walk up slopes)
* Reduced hold duck gravity increase by 33%. (similar reasoning, Make it more dangerous to be in the air compared to the ground.)
Balance:
* Increase matter rifle rate of fire by 14%
* Increase matter bolt rate of fire by 4%
* Rockets and Swarm Missles are now harder to push back with bullets. (the change is hard to quantify since there was a bug which was fixed involved.)
* Reduced rocket explosion size by 10%.
* Reduced rocket thrust by 23%.
* Increased rocket lifetime by about 15%.
* Swarm missile has slightly more homing rotation, but less carving and less friction.
* Increased health of rockets and swarm missiles by 100% (so that they are harder to blow up when exposed to explosions)
* Reduced object push on slugger bullets (cobra and revolution) by 20%.
* Fixed bug causing scopes to give twice as much bullet speed bonus as intended. This effectively becomes a scope nerf, but i would like to try it in the spirit of "compress combat closer to the middle of the screen".
* To better allow scopes to reposition, increased scoping speed by +200%
* Reduced matter gun ammo 26 -> 18. (since blaster has already gotten it reduced, this still keeps them rather separate. This also makes slugger cobra and matter gun more distinct)
* Increased slugger cobra ammo 22 -> 25.
* Increased dynamite explosion range by 25%.
* Fixed bug which showed dynamite as having longer range in ui than it had.
* Reduced Swarm Missle lifetime by 10%. (thrust duration)
* Increased Time Bomb range by 15%
* Getting stunned or blinded will now reset your ability cooldown, even if the effect is not currently active.
* Decloaking is now more consient with different actions all resulting in a more simimilar cloak penalty.
* Getting hit now decloaks you.
* Removed decloaking from double jump
* Colliding with other players no longer removes cloak (was buggy as well)
* Removed 0 fall damages.
* Hack grenade and its projectiles can no longer detect cloaked players
* Reduced box grenade boxes health by 50%.
* Increased box grenade duration 20s -> 60s
* Added an unskippable 3s fade out on the boxes when they run out of health.
Other:
* Shield is now red for the protobots, and blue for the metalfaces.
* Reduced general opacity of the Shield by about 50%.
* Increased amount of visual spikes in shield to better represent the lower total health it has (25 health per spike)
* Added a cooldown indicator under your character when your ability is on cooldown.
* Removed accelerator equipment ability for now.

v273 (Experimental)
thewreck on 31 January 2021
Ok, this ai tweak is never going to be perfect anyway, so better to just cut it off at this point and keep the experiment going!
v273 Experimental is NOW live on the experimental beta on steam
*password as always is "wowthatissomestuff"*
Replaced Slugger Revolution with Radioactive Scout, a light more agile sniper with intel-gathering ability.
Added Protobot Radioactive Scout:
A variant on the rail scout with 6 shots
Deals 45 damage
Deals radioactive damage in an area on impact.
Has a sniper Scope
Costs 25 volts
0.5s between shots (0.3s if tapping fast!)
2.85s reload time.
Reworked Radioactive Crossbow, now called Fire Crossbow. This adds some cheaper brain-destruction and map control utility for protobots, as well as a rather high skilled sniper.
Shoots a single crossbow bolt dealing 50 damage
-50% gravity
slower bullet
Leaves 2 small shorter duration fires on impact.
Reworked Fire:
All fire deals more damage and less heat.
Fire movement more reliable.
Fire damage AOE slightly bigger.
Running through a field of fire is generally more dangerous.
Reworked Time Jumper:
Increased ammo from 2 to 8
Made teleportation movement speed much more predictable and matching the bullet itself. (You can still build up some speed, but in short ranges, it is much easier to understand)
Reduced lifetime of bullets by 50%.
Increased bullet speed by 70%
Reduced explosion chrono power from 3 to 0.75
Removed explosion damage (was tiny)
Reduced explosion size by 37%
Reworked melee damage:
Reduced movement-speed-based-damage-bonus on melee weapons by 50%.
Increased base damage of melee weapons by 100%.
Removed very hard to understand range factor variable damage mechanic (removed variably dealing 75%-100% damage depending on how close to max range you hit)
Removed some complicated math for suits and node attack which in the end basically took each other out, but made the ui damage numbers slighly wrong.
Abilites:
Reduced All ability cooldowns from 12s to 4s.
Removed "disable ability" feature from all gear.
Any Hull-Damage will now disable abilities.
Reduced general action stealth penalty 2s -> 1s.
Reduced shield health from 100 to 50.
Removed relative time-speed bonus from chrono bubble (now is is a pure reaction-enchancing bubble)

Increased idle duration by 100% (if it is idling is survives longer)
Now attaches to walls/ground when it hits them.
Detaches when hit
Radioactive Vial:
Increased visual effect intensity of homing projectiles
Projectiles now live for longer
Deals more damage
Fly generally slower
Are easier to avoid, but are also more persistant
Time Rod:
increased damage by 100%
reduced chrono power from 10 to 1 (less slowdown on target, was already quite absurd)
Matter rifle:
increased recoil slightly.
added pushback of 1.
increased fire rate 10%.
reduced bullet speed 10% (but increased bullet duration to match range)
Box Generator:
Reduced price 15->10.
Increased max stack 2->3.
Increased health to 10->20.
Improved fx and sound feedback when it breaks, takes hits, and fades out.
Fixed bullets sliding against box when fading out.
Stun Gun:
Increased force range a little bit (more reliable hit area)
Reduced force applied a little bit (a little bit more controllable, see point about general movement, also to compensate for range.)
Increased force applied to enemies (makes other people fly more)
Reduced cooldown again 0.8 -> 0.5
But also reduced time you stun foes 1.0 -> 0.33
General movement:
Made "release-jump-to-top-flying-upwards"-effect depend on current air-control, which means that if you release jump right after blaster jumping, you don't cut your speed short early.
Wasd Defender hull:
Increased general "thrust" 0.8 -> 0.9. (better movement, throwing and reloading)
Grenades:
Added a team-based glow to most damage dealing throwables so that their team-origin is easier to determine.
AI:
Fixed bug which caused bots to skip an ai node when it would first require them to fall down
Fixed a bug which caused bots to skip standing on the ground before important jump nodes (causing them to sometimes do very bad jumps)
Fixed a bug in ai-node generation which caused triggers in non-physics layers to desire pathing.
Fixed a bug in ai-node generation which caused pathing desired tiles to always generate as "ground"-nodes, even when they were in the air.
Fixed a bug where pathfinding could be considered a success even with 0 steps.
Partially fixed a bug where pathnodes would be returned despite they not matching the pathmask, causing impossible paths.
Improved ai-node generation for region tiles so that they grow bigger to better represent the region.
Improved logic for determining if a node can be safely skipped (for example when jumping over a bunch of nodes), which reduces amount of backtracking they want to do.
In WASD, replaced the base metalface control ai, which uses some new math to determine things like air-control, improving jump accuracy.
In WASD, improved bot mouse logic to better simulate real mouse handling, including tempo shifts, inaccurracy and skill, and the effects on agility when pressing the shoot button.
AI Continued:
In WASD, reduced the "shoot slowly low ai skill" a lot, and moved the low skill more into aiming.
In WASD, made bots favour tactical targets a little bit more defensively
In WASD, improved both planting and disarming ai, which makes them better at planting when threatened and disarming when threatened. They will also now not try to disarm the bomb with more than needed.
In WASD, improved rate and accuracy of bot aiming at predicted movements of targets
In WASD, increased how often ai is allowed to consider weapon switching and how often they can throw grenades.
In WASD, reworked bot shopping ai to utilize full shop better but still favour "plain" weapons.
In WASD, fixed bug which caused bots to not be able to correctly select grenades (except in rare cases)
In WASD, made bots consider players slightly more eligible for being leaders for escorting.
In WASD, fixed issue which would make bots try to shoot at friends causing sounds. (nano dispenser for example)
Fixed bug in WASD where facing away from a wall and jumping would sometimes cause really high jumps.
Fixed bug in WASD where item slot cooldowns where not respected when switching slots.
Reduced screenshake in WASD by about 50%.
Increased threshold for minimal damage modifier for tiles to deal damage to actors 0.1 -> 0.25.
WASD:
In general, slowed down general pace of the entire game by about 5% to move reaction times closed to the center of the screen and to let the gameplay shrink in size a bit.
WASD Controls:
Removed use ability button
Moved default throw grenade to right mouse button.
I'm sure i also forgot some things... like.. Matter blaster has increased recoil and matter army has longer reload time.

v274 (Experimental)
thewreck on 1 February 2021
v274 experimental now live
This one is mainly based around 2 play test sessions where the healing felt a bit too prominent. Instead of just doing a straight nerf, i've tried to shift healing from revive more towards active healing, as well as making self healing and revive more risky. Revive with pump now requires you to really get in there and take a risk. Proper combat medic style. Healing friends is also more effective than healing yourself with pump.
Perhaps better active healing vs revive will make defender more viable as well?
WASD:
Fixed a network code related crash.
Fixed ai-related crash when holding explosive weapons and colliding with a physical tile (bug in ai)

Reduced matter war scope vision range by 16%
Nano pump and dispenser:
Increased healing power by 50%
Reduced revive power by 50%
Increased heart movement speed by 100%.
Nano Pump:
Reduced general healing range 1000 -> 500.
Revive now uses an even shorter range 1000 -> 250. (This makes is much more feasible to actually keep pumpers away from brains, effectively guarding the revive)
Reduced ammo from 115 to 30
Increased price from 20 to 30 (to match time jumper, but also since it is quite good)
Healing yourself is now done at a -50% speed penalty

v275 (Experimental)
thewreck on 10 February 2021
Just a small update bug with a big change:
v275 experimental
* Fixed "switch slot and use instantly" input very often not workking due to server not having the correct item selected due the a dependency bug between actor actions and inventory sync. This makes quick-use-melee as reliable as regular melee.
* Fixed a rare network crash
* Increased max player slots to 9 (so that you can have 1 spectator as well)
* Improved spectator view controls (now same as spectating when dead)
Also removed the `experimental_9` branch since `experimental` with password `wowthatissomestuff` now supports the extra slots.

v276 (Experimental)
thewreck on 10 February 2021
After some more playtesting today, here are a mixed bag of balance tweaks:
v276 EXPERIMENTAL
* Increased color contrast between reloading / boost notches.
* Increased scale contrast and alpha contrast when you are on a boost notch.
* Reduced intensity of reload bar color when boost is active so that remaining notched are of higher contrast.
Time Jumper: (less bullying with slowdown and higher degree of punishment when out of ammo.)
* Reduced ammo from 8 to 5
* Reduced time slow-down power on explosion by 66%
* Increased reload time from 2.8 -> 4.0
* Replaced current 1 reloadboost at 0.4 with two reload boosts at 0.25 and 0.75.
Time Rod: (creates a too strong need for counter play, longer duration weaker bonus and more fair play.)
* Reduced time-slowdown power on target by 66%
* Removed time-bomb negating effect from speed up. Now it is a plain speed up.
* Increased duration of time-bonus 3s -> 5s
* Reduced speed-up amount +25% -> +15%
Matter Machine (too easy to run out of bullet range - looses some of its suppressive role.)
* Increased bullet lifetime / range by 33%.
Radioactive Scout (didnt feel like it imposed enough respect as a sniper.)
* Increased bullet speed / range by 25%.
* Reduced reload time 3.0s -> 2.75s.
* Increased rate of fire by 10%.
Matter Cannon (not lethal enough when engaged close quarters.)
* Increased rate of fire by 20%.
Barrier: (push penalty was more important when it was invulnerable, now it feels over the top.)
* Reduced amount of pushback that is applied to you when hit when using shield by about 50%
* Reduced max slow-penalty and duration when hit by 50%.
Rocket Launcher (feels too slow and spammy)
* Increased muzzle speed by 50%
* Reduced ammo from 5 -> 4.
Force Device
* Increased damage 6 -> 25.
* Increased force 50 -> 75.
* Increased visual hit feedback
* Increased use light power.
Matter War:
* Reduced pushback by 50%.
Stun Gun: (more useful in air, less reliant on walls for full utility, more useful in combat, less spammy)
* Reduced ammo 12 -> 5.
* Added rather large pushback on attack.
* Reduced force on hit explosion.
* Damage is now explosive splash damage for whole explosion, not just when hitting straight on.
* Reduced intensity of explosion by 20%.
Radioactive Vial
* Reduced damage of projectiles 10 -> 9.
Scimitar:
* Increased price 10 -> 15.
Tractor hook:
* Increased damage dealt when impacting someone 1 -> 3 (+200%).

Oxeye Game Studio
Oxeye Game Studio Etymology
jeb on Project Oxeye Wiki Discord 4 December 2023
Oxeye daisy (or just "daisy") is the regional flower of Skåne. When we formed Oxeye we were all living in Skåne (or on our way to move there), so we wanted something that related to it, and "Oxeye" sounded cool. The name of the flower in Swedish is Prästkrage ("Priest collar")
That's why our game engine is called Daisy, and the Lua wrapper for Daisy is DaisyMoon
Since Lua means moon

Oxeye Game Studio History
jeb on Project Oxeye Wiki Discord 14 December 2023
In spring 2007, Oxeye moved into it's first "office" at a business incubator called VentureLab in Lund. Oxeye's room was the left-most window on the first picture. We got the place on the pitch to make a minigame arcade platform, but first we developed and released The Strategist, followed by Harvest: Massive Encounter.
Interior
Our room in VentureLab. On the first picture is Alexander Persson ("aegzorz"), who was part of Oxeye from 2005 to 2008. His main responsibility was porting Daisy to Mac. On the second picture is Daniel Brynolf, using the texture packer to import artwork to Harvest.
In May 2007, Harvest was nominted for "best game" at the Swedish Game Awards (a student competition). Harvest won second prize and received 20,000 SEK (about $1944 at today's exchange rate). Here is a picture of the exhibition hall (Jens in an Oxeye t-shirt and yellow/brown hoodie), and the Harvest stand.

Pictures from Oxeye's room at Venture Lab, summer 2007
In October 2007, Oxeye participated at Spelfest in Malmö. We displayed Harvest, and Daniel and Pontus gamejammed a new shoot-em-up in Multimedia Fusion live. We also met with Yokaj Studios.
Sadly I can't remember the name of the shoot'em up right now, but it was fun
Ah, I found it. It was Spacefest: https://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=6904
In 2008 our time at VentureLab was up, so we had to move to a new place. First picture is of the last lunch at VentureLab, picturing Pontus Hammarberg, Daniel Brynolf, and Peter Askelöf (music composer for The Strategist).
New office at Akademiska Hus, Lund
Another picture from the new office. Jonas Johnsson ("STALKER") was a member of Oxeye for a short while and helped with graphics programming (shaders), and financial book-keeping.
In March 2008 we released Harvest and had a small "release fika" with an alien-shaped cake. Pictured is Jens Bergensten, Alexander Persson, Jonas Johnsson, and Daniel Brynolf (in front).
Sadly I'm unable to find any pictures between 2008 and 2010. They're lost somewhere.
In the August 2010, we went to a gamejam in Berlin. I don't recall what game we made. On the last picture we let a visitor playtest an early version of Cobalt (then called "Project B", B for "Blueface")
Pictures from the development of Cobalt. First from Daniel's parents apartment, the second from Pontus home at that time.
kinten knows this better, but Daniel had made a platform game in MMF called "Blueface" and they had the idea of making a full-fledged game based on that concept

jeb on Project Oxeye Wiki Discord 14 December 2023
No this isn't quite correct. All players are humans, and iwids and menits are the inhabitants of the region in which Akarra takes place. It's true that there's a slight colonization theme, but the humans are refugees not colonizers.
I don't know if this has been changed in the fan-based shards created after the original game
