Changelog

1.1.1

Fixed

• The ink outline no longer looks too thick on a distant plush. The line was held at a fixed number of screen pixels at every distance, so a plush across the room — far smaller on screen — wore exactly the same 5-pixel line as one in your hands, and read as a heavy black border instead of an outline. The line is now part of the model: it is extruded once in the plush's own space, so it scales with the plush (and with World Scale) and gets proportionally thinner with distance, the way a drawn line should.

Changed

• A pile of plushies no longer costs frames. The outline shell was rebuilt on the CPU every frame for every instance — about 15k vertices each, plus a fresh vertex-buffer upload each frame — so a dozen plushies in view meant tens of thousands of vertex transforms per frame. That work is gone completely: the shell is extruded once when the model is built, and re-extruded only when the outline width changes. Nothing in the outline runs per frame now, and the line at normal holding distance is the same as before.
• Outline Width (pixels) is now Outline Width. It is a multiple of the width the models are baked with (0.75% of the plush's height) rather than a pixel count, because the line scales with the plush. An existing value is carried over, and the default of 5 is the baked width, so the look at normal holding distance does not change.
• A width of 0 now switches the outline object off instead of collapsing the shell onto the body, which removes the depth fight between two coincident surfaces.

1.1.0

Fixed

• The in-game plush hotkey can now actually be set in game. It was bound as a BepInEx KeyboardShortcut, which the game's settings panel has no control for, so the row was silently skipped and the key could only be changed by editing the config file. It is a plain key now (single keys; modifier combinations are no longer accepted).
• Switching back to the vanilla plush restores the vanilla inventory icon. The slot refreshes only the name and the cook amount when it still holds the same prefab, and the icon was only ever overwritten with a replacement, so returning to vanilla left the previous plush's icon on screen until the item was dropped and picked up again. The icon is now reconciled to whatever the selected variant should show, vanilla included.
• The inventory icon follows an in-game plush switch immediately. The widget cached the icon and skipped refreshing it while the slot still held the same prefab, so after pressing F7 every visible slot kept the previous plush until the item was dropped and picked up again.
• The plush name follows a language change immediately. The Chinese/English choice was cached and only invalidated when cycling the plush, so switching the game language to Chinese left the names in English until F7 or a restart.
• Cooking tint no longer fights other mods' highlights. The cook colour was written by replacing the renderer's whole property block, which erased the cleanup highlight another mod writes to the same renderer; only the two cook keys are touched now.
• The outline no longer disappears at long range. Its mesh bounds were padded by a fixed amount, which was too small past roughly 9 m (and past ~1.2 m at small model scales); the padding is now recomputed every frame from the offset actually applied.
• A corrupt or truncated model file now falls back to the embedded copy instead of being parsed into garbage. Sizes in the file are validated before allocating, so a bad file can no longer request an enormous allocation.
• A missing game method is now reported by name at startup, instead of only a generic "hooks failed" line. The patch-target check names the exact method.
• A variant that failed to load is retried on a hard refresh rather than staying broken for the rest of the session.

Changed

• The release zip is now reproducible (identical bytes for identical input), and the packaging step refuses to build from a dist/ that does not match the current commit.
• The build records -dirty in its build info when the working tree has uncommitted changes, so a deployed DLL can be traced to what actually produced it.
• The asset checks now also detect a change to the generator or its parameters, not just to the model files.
