What Is Bubble Allegedly Working On

ModMaker

• Command line utility for inserting mods into the raw data files for binning, and also putting client side files into place for pigging.
• Needs properly documenting and file format writing up
• Longer term: GUI version, and a utility to make the mod files rather than relying on people doing it by hand

Localisation

• Client side changes done
• Server needs testing, as test server was down at the time

Sequencer

• Adding emotes - done
• Using power animations as emotes - done
• Documenting the sequencer properly
• Adding a new power animation to an existing power
  • I found alternate sequencers in the PFX files, find how the UI points to these

Mastermind Pets

• This is probably heavily buried in power code somewhere
• Know where all the power defs are, how do we make the power summon based on a flag
• Can we reuse the UI system that works for selecting a different animation in the PFX?

NPC Costume Parts for PCs

• Already have them all in a spreadsheet
  • Parsed the 2500 defs with one of my VB programs
• Need to manually add them into the CTM files for testing to see what works
• Or shall I just write an excel to CTM converter and throw them all in at once
• Maybe, I am that crazy
• Have already proof of concepted this, adding files to the CTM lets me add them to my characters
• I was that crazy
• >7000 parts were put into 230 ctm include files, then manually spliced into the main ctms and binned
• The Great Processing is underway, currently just shy of 3000 parts have been checked by me and other volunteers
• Next steps:
  • remove all the ones marked as invalid
  • group the others into the correct categories
  • add SKU and make a new product catalog
  • prep bins and piggs for release as a server mod
• Add spider parts to non VEATs

Adding new items to SG bases

• Wrote a program, parsed the entire object library and added it to the base editor (~69,000 items)
• Some items crash the client, some don't seem to have geometry, everything needs sorting, naming and categorising
  • eg removing geos that relate to costume parts (except maybe helmets)
  • classifying as floor/wall/ceiling
  • deciding if they are active or decorative (eg new generators)
• Adding NPCs is easy, its literally built into the editor already, need to see how far we can push this
• Adding modular mission map rooms sort of works, but lots of issues to look into
• We can however probably add all the individual parts that go into these rooms, to allow them to be built by hand
• Should probably add server config options:
  • disablePrestige - defaults to 0, when set to 1 base editor ignores prestige costs
  • disableRaidChecks - defaults to 0, when set to 1 base editor allows building in doorways, allows blocking-in items that the editor thinks must have a clear path to, etc
