Changelog

0.4.4

Bug fixes

• Fixed non-host clients running Dispatch methods (DispatchShrink, DispatchExpand, DispatchExpandNow) — these are now gated behind a host/singleplayer check

0.4.3

New

• MapCollapse is now public — other mods call MapCollapse.OnMapHit() to trigger the collapse event
• ScaleController.ChallengeMode public property — implementations set this to enable challenge mode
• Runtime SemiIconMaker generation for pocketed items — no more embedded PNGs, works for any item

Bug fixes

• Fixed map collapse audio ignoring master volume (now routes through the game's SFX mixer group)
• Fixed map collapse alarm doubling when the truck had no unique sounds
• Fixed camera glitch effect not covering the full screen while shrunken
• Fixed shrunken players getting crushed too early during map collapse (raycast distances now scale with player size)
• Fixed pocketed item icons disappearing after level transitions
• Map collapse crush sequence reworked — FOV slam, heavy shake, vignette, and a brief hold before death

Improvements

• ScalerCore is now a pure library with no user-facing config entries
• ShrinkChallengeMode and MapCollapse config removed — implementations own their settings
• MapCollapseHitPatch removed — implementations provide their own hit detection
• Map collapse enemy speed toned down (1.3x base, up to 1.8x — was 2.5x to 6.5x)
• Map collapse no longer unshrinks everything when it starts
• Map collapse FOV narrows during collapse for a claustrophobic feel
• Embedded cart/cannon/laser icon PNGs replaced with runtime SemiIconMaker

0.4.2

Improvements

• Added MapCollapse config option (Auto/On/Off). You'll know it when you see it. Turn it on and shoot the map, go ahead, I dare you.
• No, Loom's arms still aren't fixed. I was busy with the super ultra important above feature for next year's april fools.
• Removed Herobrine

0.4.1

New

• Any non-pocketable item becomes pocketable while shrunken — carts, cart cannons, cart lasers, trackers. Press an inventory key to stash, shoot again to restore.
• Shrunken players can't pocket shrunken items. If you get shrunk while carrying one, it drops automatically.

Bug fixes

• Fixed shrunken players being able to wall-jump infinitely by touching walls
• Fixed Shrink Challenge mode not working on clients (inverted re-shrink was blocked by debug key gate)
• Fixed Shrink Challenge mode not working in singleplayer (was stuck waiting for voice chat)
• Fixed Shrink Challenge mode firing in the lobby instead of waiting for the level to load
• Fixed voice pitch not cleaning up when returning to lobby
• Fixed camera occasionally clipping through walls at shrunken size
• Pupil override priority and spring speed now match vanilla ranges
• Items now stay shrunken permanently until shot again (was 5 minutes)
• Enemy speed while shrunken is now 75% (was 65%)

Improvements

• Shrink Challenge mode config changes apply instantly in the lobby
• Shrunken items show as smaller dots on the map
• Smoother pupil transition when expressions end
• Embedded inventory icons for cart, cart cannon, and cart laser
• Logging cleaned up — only warnings and errors in the console
• InvertedMode synced to clients via RPC for proper multiplayer challenge mode

0.4.0

New

• Added SuppressValueDropExpand option to ScaleOptions — valuables won't expand on damage while scaled. For cart mods where items bump into each other constantly.
• Added PreserveMass option to ScaleOptions — rigidbody mass stays at its original value while scaled. For cart mods where items should weigh the same regardless of visual size.
• Added ScaleManager.ApplyIfNotScaled() — scales only if not already scaled, no-op otherwise. Safe to call every frame from continuous triggers.
• Added ScaleManager.GetController() — returns the ScaleController for a game object, resolving through PlayerShrinkLink.

Bug fixes

• Fixed shrunken objects appearing full-size on non-host clients. The RPC was only sending the target vector without ScaleOptions fields, so clients had all-zero options and the animation never ran. Also broke late-join sync.
• Fixed shrunken player mesh freezing in place on the host. AnimSpeedMultiplier wasn't synced to clients, so the client sent a zero-speed animation override back via RPC, killing the host's visual position interpolation.
• Fixed players reverting to full size when another player jumped or tumbled into them. Bonk expand now only triggers when health actually decreases, not on zero-damage contact.

0.3.0

New

• Shrink Challenge Mode: players start shrunken, guns temporarily grow you, damage shrinks you back
• Shooting an already-shrunken target with the same factor toggles it back
• Shooting an already-shrunken target with a different factor rescales it smoothly (no flash)

API changes

• ScaleManager.Apply() now takes a ScaleOptions struct — per-call config replaces global ShrinkConfig
• ScaleManager.Apply() without options uses ScaleOptions.Default
• Added ScaleTargets flags enum for filtering what object types can be scaled
• Added ScaleController.TargetType for mods to check what kind of object a controller manages
• Removed ShrinkConfig and ScaleFactor (replaced by ScaleOptions)
• Zero Factor/Speed in ScaleOptions falls back to defaults

Bug fixes

• Fixed players in tumble/object mode (Q) not being shrinkable by guns
• ScaleManager API now resolves PlayerShrinkLink when target GO doesn't have ScaleController directly
• Fixed Tricycle (Bella) trike mesh not scaling — rider shrank but the bike stayed full size
• Single doors now cleanly break off their hinges when shrunken instead of floating in place
• Birthday Boy's balloons now shrink along with him
• Enemies killed or despawned while shrunken no longer respawn at shrunken size
• HeartHugger mesh and collision now align properly when shrunken (including when tipped)
• HeartHugger gas pull distance scales with enemy size
• Loom attack distance scales with enemy size
• Fixed bonk expand not restoring visual scale on enemies with handler-owned scaling
• Replaced most reflection with direct publicizer access for better performance
• Fixed Loom (Shadow) NRE spam in EnemyShadow.HandLogic after unshrinking

0.2.0

Bug fixes

• Pupils no longer stay huge after unshrinking
• Animation speed resets properly on unshrink
• Grab range actually scales down while shrunken now
• Voice pitch no longer gets nuked by spewer/hourglass events
• Menu preview shows big pupils while shrunken
• Host now enforces grab stats for all shrunken players, not just local
• Remote players see big pupils in the shop
• Menu preview only shrinks for the shrunken player, not everyone
• Non-host sees their own big pupils in menu preview
• Non-host grab strength/range/throw restores properly after unshrinking
• Big pupils yield to expressions while shrunken (no more bleeding through eyelids)
• Cart pull distance no longer leaks the host's shrink state to other players
• Shrunken enemies deal scaled damage across the board (mace swings, tumble impacts, instakills)
• Enemies like Trudge whose mace has playerKill no longer instakill when shrunken
• Damage scaling works even when the HurtCollider doesn't have enemyHost set
• NavMesh agent radius scales with enemy size
• Fixed Chef, Mentalist, Reaper, Trudge, and Elsa sinking into the ground when shrunken
• Fixed Loom (Shadow) arms detaching from body when shrunken
• Fixed AnimTarget discovery walking up to Enable container on enemies with renderers on the Rigidbody (caused double-scaling on Hearthugger and Loom)
• Known: Hearthugger still has visual/grab misalignment when shrunken (cosmetic, gameplay unaffected)

Balance

• Grab strength less punishing (1.5x scale factor, capped at 100% when shrunk)
• Added MinimumStrength and MaximumStrength config options
• Grab range and throw scale directly with size (no mercy bonus)
• Enemy damage scales by shrink factor directly (was a flat 0.1x)
• Enemy bonk immunity down from 5s to 3s
• Items stay shrunk indefinitely (was 300s)

Improvements

• Menu avatar animates smoothly when shrinking/unshrinking instead of snapping
• Negative shrink durations from bad configs get clamped to 0
• Version auto-stamped from csproj via BuildInfo

Internal

• Assembly publicizer replaces all reflection in PlayerHandler
• ItemHandler uses standard GetField instead of AccessTools
• All enemy-to-player damage scaling lives in one patch now (KnockbackPatch)
• Deduplicated grab strength formula into GetGrabFactors helper
• Noisy item field logs downgraded to LogDebug
• Dropped REPOLib dependency (wasn't actually used)
• Updated Thunderstore description
