== Plot Synopsis ==
Agent Cobalt is a metalface sent by Borealis to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the human colony ''Trunkopolis'' on a planet known as Trunkopia.


~A number of different crashfixes for both dedicated server and game.
== Development History ==
In 2001,<ref>https://youtu.be/idEyxi9vbWU?t=15<nowiki/>Daniel corrects Pontus and states the prototype was worked on nine years prior; given that the video was uploaded in 2010, that would mean 2001.</ref> [[Daniel "thewreck" Brynolf]] had developed a platformer prototype called ''Blueface.'' Following the release of ''[[Harvest: Massive Encounter]]'' in 2008, Oxeye wanted to develop another, more in-depth game. Unable to come up with ideas, it was decided that ''Blueface'' had a sufficiently solid foundation to become a "better game". Beginning in August of 2009,<ref>https://youtu.be/voAlBvWody0?t=186</ref> work began on ''Project B''. Initially, it looked rather similar to ''Blueface''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzhkHzdkhAI</ref>


(This is mainly a stability update, but also testing a couple of balance thing. Moving on to improving general quality things now)
On 8 October 2010, ''Project B'' was officially renamed to ''Cobalt''<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/announcing-cobalt/</ref>

|v140<ref>''thewreck on Cobalt Discord 24 April 2017''
 
Cobalt WASD, V140 changelog:
 
Stun gun shots are now deflected by the Bullet Shield.
 
Warmup time default changed to 30 seconds.
 
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<ref>''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
 
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.
 
Scoreboard button now editable.
 
Changed the control editing layout. Instead of having columns for character and menues where you edit both columns at once, there are now three sections: “Character”, “Menues” and “Global”, where you edit each control separately.
 
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.

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

Fixed emote menu option key presses also selecting a weapon slot.
 
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.

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.

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 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.

Heavy has 250 HP, has no ability and costs 20 volts. Protobot Chrono and Metalface Chrono now cost 20 and the Scouter and Stealth cost 30. The old Metalface Defender now looks like a Scouter. The old Metalface Explorer now looks like a chrono.
 
To compensate for the more expensive hulls, losing and winning volt rewards have both been increased by 5. (25/40 from 20/35)
 
- Special thanks to Janeator, Aconitin and Isogash!
 
Buy timer has been increased from 12/8 (first round/other rounds) to 20/15, but the skippable portion of the buy timer has also been increased from 50% to 75%.

Klonk stun effect now fall off with distance from the klonk, making touching the far edge of the klonk only stuns you for a short while.
 
Klonk range increased from 300 to 350.
 
Time Jumper effect now falls off twice as fast.
 
Blowing up a Time Bomb now emits a similar explosion to the Time Jumper, but bigger!
 
Fixed Mouse Camera Smoothing option capping your maximum camera range to a lower value than intended.
 
Character no longer tries to aim if the mouse is straight on your character which fixes jerky animations when mouse has not been moved before entering shop.
 
Added another mouse option “Mouse Camera Offset Multiplier” that makes your camera reach its maximum range with less mouse movement.
 
Added explanatory texts when editing the mouse options.

Fixed matter cannon had incorrectly received 6 bullets instead of 6 max ammo.
 
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.
 
Ai-bots will now see you if you shoot or perform visual actions when cloaked.
 
Charged Magnet duration increased to 20s, was 12s.
 
Charged Magnet arm delay changed to 0.25s, was 0.5s.
 
Charged Magnet time to “expand” post attachment changed to 0.2s, was 0.5s.

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.
 
Reactor would before not resume charging if it stopped consuming energy and you were stunned. Removed this. You now resume charging energy even when stunned.

New default controls are more similar to PC fps games, All things now have a real slot. Quick use is still a thing but is optional. Drop item is added! Old switch between primary/secondary is gone, instead you swap between last used selected slots as well as having next and previous slots on the scroll wheel:
 
1,2,3,4,5: Select primary, secondary ,melee, grenade, bomb
 
Mouse wheel up/down: Next slot/Previous Slot
 
Q: Switch between last used slots.
 
Left Mouse Button: Attack
 
Right Mouse Button: Activate ability
 
F: Quick Throw
 
Mouse Wheel Click: Quick Melee
 
G: Drop Item

Q: Will I still be able to use the old controls?
 
A: Yes, quick use of slots is still there. If you swap F with Right mouse button, it will effectively be the same, with the addition of the ability to drop items.

V230
 
Added prefix help if a game mode is selected to the editor save dialog.
 
Fixed some bugs related to switching resolution and full screen mode multiple times in a row causing the game to have really strange hud and window scaling, and in the worst case lock with a black screen.
 
Resolution and fullscreen mode and v-sync and fullscreen output no longer require a game restart to apply.
 
Maybe fixed issues with taskbar being on top of window in some modes. Let me know.
 
Game no longer automatically restarts if needs to restart to apply settings when using steam. This is because it caused a bug with the Steam DRM which caused the online browser to return 0 results after restart, even though it looked like it was working. It should not be an issue though since almost no settings require restart anymore.
 
You no longer get stuck in Delete Profile.
 
More menues have the scroll up and down input hint.
 
Top-menu online can now simply be hovered with the mouse to acces the interactions/go back.

Plot Synopsis

Agent Cobalt is a metalface sent by Borealis to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the human colony Trunkopolis on a planet known as Trunkopia.

Development History

In 2001,[4] Daniel "thewreck" Brynolf had developed a platformer prototype called Blueface. Following the release of Harvest: Massive Encounter in 2008, Oxeye wanted to develop another, more in-depth game. Unable to come up with ideas, it was decided that Blueface had a sufficiently solid foundation to become a "better game". Beginning in August of 2009,[5] work began on Project B. Initially, it looked rather similar to Blueface.[6]

On 8 October 2010, Project B was officially renamed to Cobalt[7]
