Release 1.6.0 - "Break Everything"

TNH Tweaker gets updated to Deli 0.3.0, with some major changes to equipment pools, and awesome new QOL changes!

NOTE: INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS CHANGED! SEE README FOR NEW INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: THIS UPDATE WILL BREAK OLDER CHARACTERS! CHARACTERS WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR THIS VERSION!

Notable Additions

Character File Changes

• Sub-Pool System
  • Equipment pools now have a list of sub pools, which can be spawned from in addition to items from the main pool
  • The rarity of sub-pools can be changed, allowing for sets of extremely rare or extremely common items
    • Large rarity values are more common, while small rarity values are rarer
    • A rarity of 1 gives a sub-pool the same chance of being spawned from as a normal item from the main pool
  • Usage Example: Have a sub-pool of all MP5 variants as part of a main SMG pool
    • This prevents MP5s from overpowering the main SMG pool
  • New property ForceSpawnAllSubPools forces an item from each sub-pool to be spawned
    • Usage Example: Allows you to spawn entire loadouts with one purchase, with sub-pools containing guns, magazines, grenades, health, etc.
• Vaulted guns can now be dropped as Sosig loot
  • Note: Sosig loot pools can still only drop 1 item on death, so ForceSpawnAllSubPools and ItemsToSpawn will not behave the same
• IDOverrides are now additive instead of an alternative setting
  • IDOverrides and automatically populated groups can now both be used at the same time
  • UseIDOverride property has been replaced by AutoPopulateGroup property
    • Setting AutoPopulateGroup to true allows the pool to add items based on item tags
• New NumClipsSpawned property, allowing guns that use clips to spawn with different amounts of clips
• New SpawnMagAndClip property, allowing guns with both a magazine and clip to spawn with one magazine, and NumClipsSpawned amount of clips
• New GlobalAmmoBlacklist property allows for certain ammo types (such as shotguns flares) to not spawn during TNH
• New MagazineBlacklist property, allowing each character to have their own specific magazine blacklist
• Removed some unused properties

General

• Rework of TNH menu startup
  • You can now enter the TNH menu scene while custom guns are being loaded
    • New text will show progress of guns being loaded
  • Custom characters will not appear in the character menu until all gun loading and magazine caching is complete
• The global magazine blacklist file has been changed to JSON format.
  • Renamed to MagazineCacheBlacklist.json
  • Allows for specific magazine to be removed from a gun, instead of the whole gun being ignored
• New GeneratedEquipmentPools folder
  • When TNH files are built, a file for each character is created in this folder
  • Each file contains every item that can spawn from every pool (including automatically generated pools)
• New BuildCharacterFiles setting in the TNH Tweaker config file
  • By default, files relevant to character creation will not be generated (to reduce startup lag)

Release 1.5.0 - "Even More Panels"

This is a smaller update, an overall goal of giving character creators more tools to play with. This should not break compatibility with previous characters. As always, check the README for install instructions

NOTE: CHARACTERS ARE BEING MOVED TO BONETOME! CHECK THEM OUT HERE

Notable Additions

New Panels

• Magazine Purchaser
  • Place your gun at the panel, and you can purchase the smallest compatible magazine for that gun

  • Increases your guns fire rate by a factor of 2
• Fire Rate Decreaser
  • Decrease your guns fire rate by a factor of 2

Vaulted Gun Additions

  • Changes only apply if you set OverrideFireSelectors to True

  • Exposed properties SpringStiffness, SpeedForward, and SpeedRearward
  • Changes only apply if OverrideFireRate is True

General

• Fixed guns not spawning with loose rounds
• Improved logging
  • Go into the Mods/configs/h3vr.tnhtweaker.deli.cfg to change what gets logged

Release 1.4.2 - Hotfix

This update fixes compatibility with H3VR alpha branch, as well as fixing a nasty bug with the compatible magazine purchasing equipment pool option. Also worth noting that compatible magazine purchasing pools will now prioritize the weapons in the players hands first, so if you are holding a 1911 in you hand you will always get 1911 magazines.

Release 1.4.1 - "Fixes And Stuff"

A small update with some much needed bug fixes, and general improvements. Installation instructions are the same, and can be found on the main page of this repo. No need to update your characters for this one :)
