Changelog

0.1.20

• Allows another player's turret to enter the mod's long-press pickup path while it is lying loose on the ground.
• Allows the physical pickup command for deployed and undeployed turrets while preserving the original owner and turret state.
• Reduces the imported turret base, animated mount height, solid bounds, and pickup bounds by 10%.

0.1.19

• Replaced the procedural turret base with the supplied textured GLB model while retaining the existing independent gun-and-hands mount, scan, targeting, recoil, and reload animations.
• Replaced the hotbar base artwork while preserving the live fitted-gun preview layer.
• Added a bottom-center inspection tooltip showing the turret name and owner when the player looks at a nearby deployed turret.
• Allows any player to pick up and redeploy a turret while preserving its original owner and all saved turret state.
• Added a host-side held-item check to deployment requests.

0.1.18

• Changes damage, range, reload speed, and firing rate upgrades from linear bonuses to compound growth.
• Compounds damage, reload speed, and firing rate by 10% per level and range by 5% per level.
• Makes turret kit prices double with each currently owned turret: $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, and onward.
• Stores each turret's purchase price so resale includes half of the amount originally paid for its kit.
• Shows the upgraded firing rate and the next turret's price in the F2 control center.

0.1.17

• Replaces the plain F2 window with a dark metallic Turret Control Center console.
• Adds cyan system accents, orange action buttons, red removal controls, framed sections, selected-unit highlighting, and a dedicated status feed.
• Reorganizes the README with a complete controls and usage table near the top, followed by detailed system documentation.

0.1.16

• Increases the complete mounted gun-and-hands visual by 50%, from a 0.9 m to a 1.35 m longest dimension.
• Removes fitting guns from player inventory; turret weapons are now purchased only through F2.
• Allows a purchased gun to replace the currently fitted gun immediately.
• Prevents duplicate charges when the selected gun is already fitted.
• Makes Remove gun clear the turret socket without dropping or returning an inventory item.

0.1.15

• Aligns both the muzzle's forward and up axes so mounted guns remain upright instead of inheriting an upside-down inventory preview roll.
• Centers the complete gun geometry directly over the socket and raises it slightly before yaw and pitch are applied.
• Excludes lasers, trails, particles, and effect renderers from weapon bounds so attachments cannot shrink the gun model until it appears invisible.

0.1.14

• Separates the orange cradle's yaw from the gun pivot's pitch so the cradle remains level while the gun scans 30 degrees above the local horizon.
• Configures cloned weapons through their native saved-item path before removing gameplay behavior.
• Applies the selected skin to every active gun and attachment renderer and explicitly activates the complete selected sight, barrel, and laser hierarchy.
• Logs the saved customization and active renderer count for each mounted weapon to make any remaining model-specific issue identifiable.

0.1.13

• Gives every turret a stable base hotbar icon and overlays a separate preview of its fitted gun, skin, and visible attachments.
• Removes the turret's hidden inventory mesh from hotbar rendering so multiple turret slots cannot interfere with each other.
• Aims the actual gun muzzle 30 degrees above the local horizon during its slow idle scan.
• Activates alternate weapon-model hierarchies and selected attachment parents, and removes invalid cloned lightmap assignments so customized and transferred guns remain visible.

0.1.12

• Measures the 12-metre management radius from the live turret object and its physical base, in every direction and without a line-of-sight requirement.
• Selects the closest owned deployed turret in range when F2 opens.
• Slowly rotates an equipped gun in an idle scan until a valid target is acquired.

0.1.11

• Uses the saved deployed position for nearby management checks, avoiding stale network-transform distance failures.
• Increased the management radius to 12 metres and displays the current range state in F2.
• Explicitly activates the weapon's world-model hierarchy and renderers while retaining the selected attachments and skin.

0.1.10

• Made long-press E retrieval use the same recall path as the F2 menu for owned turrets.
• Added visible turret ownership and explicit ownership transfer while holding another player's turret.
• Fixed selling so held, inventory, world, and network references are cleared before despawning the turret.
• Resale now returns half of the kit, upgrade, and targeting-tier investment.
• Rebuilds mounted weapon visuals when saved skins or attachments change and restores inactive source gun rigs.

0.1.9

• Restricted targeting to living birds and fish, excluding NPCs and unrelated creature components.
• Kept fish ineligible while attached to a line, held, or stored in inventory.
• Added synchronized active-target state so empty turrets and armed turrets without an in-range target remain centered and idle.

0.1.8

• Mounted a safe visual clone of the selected base-game weapon rig instead of a static inventory mesh.
• Added native fire and reload animations, muzzle particles, barrel-specific gunshots, and mechanical audio sequences.
• Synchronized reload events and aligned turret rotation, lasers, and tracers with the selected barrel's actual fire point.
• Added procedural recoil and reload motion as a fallback for weapons without matching animation clips.

0.1.7

• Fixed long-press pickup so ownership is assigned before inventory insertion.
• Added a two-second lock delay, red acquisition laser, and the supplied target-acquired sound.
• Added level-based accuracy from 85% to 100% and a cone that narrows from 3 degrees to 0.3 degrees.

0.1.6

• Renamed the public mod and in-game interface to TURRET MOD.
• Added the new Turret Mod package and manager icon.
• Preserved the existing plugin ID and save path for compatibility with current turrets.

0.1.5

• Added crosshair surface deployment, weapon customization transfer, automatic targeting and reloads, friendly-fire controls, recall, selling, and startup recovery.
