New shotgun
New lighting

Changelog - Version 0.32

Performance & Networking

• Hugely reduced input lag for actions like placing voxels or shooting RPGs.
• Removed automatic ping kick. Lag compensation is now limited based on the `sv.pingthreshold` cvar (recommended max: 225ms). Players exceeding this threshold will need to lead their shots more significantly.
• Voxels now regenerate health gradually over time (`sv.voxelhealth.heal.voxels.count`) after a configurable delay (`sv.voxelhealth.wait.time`) to prevent server lag spikes during regeneration.
• Clamped client simulation rate (`sv.player.max.simulation.rate`) to reduce server CPU load caused by high-performance clients.
• Fixed block destruction particles causing major performance freezes (Optimization).

Gameplay & Features

• Added the new Thunderstrike Shotgun for the Miner class.
• Added 'Smooth Mouse' option to the settings menu.
• Melee attacks (e.g., Zombie arms, Spades) now use a sphere cast instead of a raycast, making hits easier to land.
• Added per-map ambient sound system.
  • Added ambient sound to the official Observatory map.
• Added map save functionality via the 'savemap' command (saves current world state to .vxl).
• Added Light Block system:
  • Light blocks emit light onto nearby voxels.
  • Emitted light blends with other nearby light sources.
  • Includes performance optimizations.
  • Added an option in settings to disable dynamic light block lighting.
• Added a sound effect for grenades colliding with the world or other entities.
• Landmine explosions now behave like other explosions:
  • Spherical shape instead of box.
  • Damage falloff based on range (no longer always an instant kill).
• Rocket turret now uses a simpler box collider for consistency and potential performance improvement.
• Disabled players taking damage from falling gravestones.
• Blood effects are no longer shown when hitting tents.
• Reduced recoil smoothing for increased weapon snappiness.

Visual & UI

• Improved bullet visual effects:
  • Increased visual velocity.
  • Now uses a box instead of a line renderer for better visuals.
  • Added a slight random offset to the visual starting position.
• Older killfeed items now fade out gradually.
• Reworked scoreboard synchronization. This should fix issues where player entries sometimes appeared invisible.
• Fixed class model in the class selection view not being team-colored.
• Fixed previously equipped capes sometimes not showing in the UI immediately after joining a server and selecting a class.
• Fixed the killfeed icon not displaying correctly for flamethrower kills.
• Fixed cycling through previously sent chat messages not working.

Fixes

• Fixed grenade particle trails sometimes rendering in the wrong position when initially spawned.
• Various server security fixes.

Server & Modding

• Significant backend reworks to better support modding.
• Added server API for the ambient sound system, allowing modders to add custom ambient sounds per map.
• Added server API (`WorldProxy:Save`) corresponding to the 'savemap' command.
• Added server API (`ClientProxy:GetDisplayUsername`, `DisplayUsername:SetDirty`) for modifying player display names, including colored prefixes/suffixes (related to scoreboard rework).
• Added new server hooks: `OnPlayerDied`, `OnWorldLoaded`, `OnDamaged`, `OnKilled`, `OnExplosion`, `OnExploded`.
• Added `EntityProxy` API.
• Added `PlayerProxy` methods: `GetHeadPosition`, `TryGetViewVoxels`.
• Added `GrenadeProjectileSpawner` object API.
