Version 2.0.0

This version contains an ENORMOUS internal restructure, evolving past the old, frankly hacked together codebase I used to have. This should make it far easier to update the mod and to develop new features in general. It should've also fixed the vast majority of the bugs from the older versions.

I've also changed the skin bundle format from .bundle to .asb. While the name change is purely cosmetic, it signifies a larger internal rework of the format. .bundle files can still be loaded fine, and will be supported indefinitely, but .asb files are the new format going forward.

.asb files can also store more than just shaders - they can work as entire texture packs. This means skin developers can build textures to a .asb file if they wish, allowing users to import them with a single drag-and-drop, rather than the sluggish folder-based system that existed previously. Don't worry though, the old folder system is also still supported, so updating to this version will keep compatibility with all previous setups.

Additions

Added UIFramework support, replacing ModUI.

Added Custom UI, streamlining shader and texture skin selection - HUGE thanks to IListenToSound for his incredible work on UIFramework.

Added "ShaderFeatures", an internal system for adding additional 'effects' shaders can play with. Read more in the Supported Shader Properties wiki page.

Added "Competitive Mode", a toggle in the mod's UIFramework menu which automatically disables skins which provide a reasonably measurable competitive advantage (higher visibility grounded effects, hitstop indicators, ect)

Added "Debug Mode", a toggle in the mod's UIFramework menu which enables verbose logs, providing greater detail for debugging purposes. These logs are disabled by default so users don't have their consoles filled with unnecessary logs.

Version 1.3.3

Fixes

Fixed an incompatibility with DieHarder by TacoSlayer

Version 1.3.2

Fixes

Fixed error in loading persistent settings where the mod would fail to initialize if I attempted to load a setting that doesn't exist.

Version 1.3.1 - [BROKEN]

Changes

Implemented support for OptimizedGraphicsFix to improve mod compatibility

Version 1.3.0

Fixes

Shaders now display lighting correctly again. Existing shaders will need to be rebuilt to ignore normals, as the default normal map is now stylized.

Version 1.2.1 - [EXPERIMENTAL]

Fixes

Fixes texture tinting for structure textures on default shaders

Version 1.2.0 - [EXPERIMENTAL]

Fixes

Basic mod functionality for RUMBLE 0.5.0.1

This version is experimental! Existing texture skins will not work as structure models have changed, and existing shaders may behave strangely.

Version 1.1.0

Additions

Added a warning the first time you enter the Gym with Simple Visuals enabled. This will only appear once, and won't prevent the mod from working (as some shaders do work with simple shading!) Thanks to Orangenal for the idea!

Added persistent settings! This should be the last time your selected skins reset when you update the mod - I've implemented a custom save file system which should hopefully reduce friction on future updates.

Version 1.0.6

Fixes

Fixed a bug in texture loading which caused skin application to fail under certain conditions.

Thanks to Orangenal For the report!

Version 1.0.5

Fixes

Fixed bug in texture loading which caused the mod's initialization to fail if the user is missing certain skin directories.

Thanks to Huntersgaminggrounds for the report!

Version 1.0.4

Additions

Added random texture selection! If you want to use multiple textures, add your textures to a subfolder under the StructureName, and the game will automatically select between different skins randomly. If you want to disable this functionality without deleting the skin permanently, just add an Underscore (_) to the beginning of the folder name and the game will ignore it.

Example folder structure:

RUMBLE
| - UserData
|   | - Skins
|   |   | - StructureName
|   |   |   | - SkinName (can be anything)
|   |   |   |   | - Main.png
|   |   |   |   | - Normal.png
|   |   |   |   | - Mat.png
|   |   |   |   | - Grounded.png
|   |   |   | - SkinName2
|   |   |   |   | - Main.png
|   |   |   |   | - Normal.png
|   |   |   |   | - Mat.png
|   |   |   |   | - Grounded.png

If you want to use multiple textures of the same type for a single skin (like if you wanted a playing card which changed the Main texture randomly, but kept the same Normal, simply add a folder for that type of texture to your SkinName folder. Example:

RUMBLE
| - UserData
|   | - Skins
|   |   | - StructureName
|   |   |   | - SkinName (can be anything)
|   |   |   |   | - Main
|   |   |   |   |   | - tex1.png (can be anything)
|   |   |   |   |   | - tex2.png (can be anything)
|   |   |   |   |   | - tex3.png (can be anything)
|   |   |   |   | - Normal.png
|   |   |   |   | - Mat.png
|   |   |   |   | - Grounded.png

Also, textures can now be hot-reloaded by holding F6 while in game. This means you can swap in and out textures from your game files and reload the ones you're using on the fly, without having to restart your game.

Version 1.0.3

Additions

Added random shader selection! Enter random as the ModUI shader settings to select a random shader from your /RUMBLE/UserData/Skins/ folder. Enter StructureType/random to select from the shaders in /RUMBLE/UserData/Skins/StructureType/ folder, allowing for a different random pool per structure.

Fixes

Fixed issues in material caching which caused balls to revert to default shading after entering a multiplayer scene.

Thanks to Pompyy and Dr.Rock for the bug report!

Version 1.0.2

Additions

Added a "Clear Cache" bind (Hold F6 for 3 seconds) to allow for hot-reload of structure shaders, allowing developers to iterrate on shaders faster without having to restart their games.

Fixes

Fixed issues in material application logic which caused structures to take the wrong material properties when reloaded using F5.

Version 1.0.1

Fixes

ModUI shader settings now accept either myShader or myShader.bundle as valid input

Note: myShader should be replaced with the name of the bundle you'd like to use.
