Changelog

v1.2.5

FIX Fixed another rare cause of the intermittent multiplayer infinite loading issue — in certain timing situations the Perfect Parry effect could fail to clean up completely, which could eventually lead to the same freeze as before.

FIX Blocking a ranged attack too late (outside the parry timing window) no longer triggers a reflect — it's now handled as a normal block, just like it should be.
Added extra logging around parries and damage reduction, so it's easier to see what happened in your log file.

Added diagnostic logging to help investigate a rare intermittent multiplayer infinite loading issue. No gameplay changes.

FIX Resolved an intermittent infinite loading issue in multiplayer, caused by a leftover parry effect that wasn't cleaned up properly

FIX Projectile reflection now works against all ranged attack types (arrows, rocks, trolls, magic) — previously failed due to mod compatibility issue with Impetus
FIX Reflection no longer errors when other mods patch Projectile.Setup with null item checks
NEW Greydwarf rock (Aoe-type projectile) reflection support added
FIX Look direction fallback to transform.forward when GetLookDir() returns zero vector

NEW Perfect Parry VFX color customization via hex code in config (default: #4DB8FF blue)
NEW Vanilla vfx_blocked suppressed on perfect parry — replaced with custom-colored version of the same effect; normal parry still shows original white vfx_blocked
NEW Projectile reflection on Perfect Parry — 3× attacker's original damage (configurable)
NEW Projectile reflection on Normal Parry — any successful block reflects at 2× (configurable)
NEW Reflected damage uses attacker's pre-block damage as the base value
NEW Reflection direction follows player look direction
NEW Ranged No Stagger — ranged attackers are not staggered when projectile is blocked or reflected
FIX Normal Parry Reflect now works independently of the Perfect Parry enable toggle
TWEAK Default counter input window: 1.0s (was 0.6s)
