It took a while but it's here! Lots of new things to play with now! I wasn't keeping very good change notes for a bunch of stuff related to this patch, so hopefully I remembered all the stuff we changed. Here goes...

Bombernauts Version 0.16.0: The Mods & Menus Update



NEW MENUS AND OPTIONS



  • Sick new menus yo! They're way more responsive and functional, and a lot easier to add things to now! They work fine with keyboard and gamepad and even the mouse! Give them a try!
  • "Customize Maps" added to the Create Game menu! You can mix and match custom map sets now!
  • "Customize Items" added to the Create Game menu! You can control what items show up now!
  • "Force Spawn Timer" added to the Advanced Game Settings. How long before you get force spawned!
  • "Floaty Bombs" added to Advanced Game Settings. Bombs float on lava! On by default.
  • "Smash DamageDamage Buildup" added to Advanced Game Settings. Smash bros style damage percents! Get bombed farther and farther and farther! Off by default.
  • "Force Multiplier" added to Advanced Game Settings. GO FLYING
  • "Server Script" added to Advanced Game Settings. MODS! See below for more info.
  • Passworded lobbies now show up in the lobby list with a lock next to their name. "Filter By Password" was removed.
  • Custom Map options enabled for Saturday Special lobbies.
  • Saturday Special now chooses randomly each week instead of in a set order
  • Quick Play now will give the option (and a warning) to join a heavily customized or saturday special lobby if it can't find one with default settings.


LUA SCRIPTING



  • Enabled Server Scripts. Stick a lua script into the custom_game_scripts folder and you can host a lobby with that script.
