Update 0.9.9.1Update 0.9.9.1 is all centered around to make Striving for Light: Survival as enjoyable as possible, featuring massive performance improvements, private league improvements, memory leak fixes and balancing changes.
New Features:
Improved Weapon Effect Triggers
Previously the weapon own trigger effects have not carried over to constructs. So for example if you had a bear caller equiped only your attack would have spawned a bear. This was a bit inconsitent as range constructs with emerald staff (spawning spiders) did work. Equiping a hammer also did not grant melee constructs the slam AoE of the hammer. To increase build diversity and to make those weapon/ construct interactions consitent the whole weapon effect trigger system got reworked.
Now all melee/range weapon effects are triggered from constructs. However, if you have the construct attack replacer on performing an attack no more weapon effects will be triggered from your own attack (which previously was the case). Now the constructs solely trigger the weapon effects as well as all the other skill triggers. We felt that this was the most immersive and logical way on how constructs should interact with your weapon attacks. This should open up a big variety of new playstyles.
Improvements
- Massive performance improvements for all enemy hit flash effects that have multiple body parts like worms/centipedes. Previously long worm enemies like worm map boss or the bleak worm gatekeeper endboss could lead to massive frame drops when attacking with a huge amount of frequent hits. The enemy flash effect was rewritten for maximum performance at exact same functionality.
- Massive performance improvements for all companion enemy hit effects. Previously all companions triggered additional enem hit visual effects that where not intended. This could lead to massive frame drops when a big bunch of companions attacked an enemy with much HP like bosses.
- Enemy hit visual effects are now no longer played when they are spawned off screen and you move to the area later
- Improved player camera smoothness
- Companions spawn now with slight offset to not make them perfectly overlap on spawn
- Improved Private Leagues, added youtube and twitch integration for private leagues
Balancing
- Reduced Darkness Staff projectile damage to 5 (was 10)
- Increased Throwing Spear projectile damage to 8 (was 6)
- Increased Hammer melee weapon attack speed and reduced melee damage to 12 (was 16)
Bugfixes
- Fixed potential crash on flail weapon with boomerang attack replacer due to wrong animation paths.
- Fixed steam achievements not being unlocked on steam
- Fixed plenty of memory leaks
- Fixed floating number display in player stats
- Fixed crash when spawning eternal sands map endboss (v.0.9.9.1a)
