Created TurretController, which performs basic combat for fixed orbital installations
Projectiles self-destruct at maximum range
Created turret prefab
Outfitted turret in game manager
Entity position is now 3D
Entities responsible for updating their own position and orientation
Barrel positions and orientations available from entity code
Inventory code will display modal dialog for invalid item moves instead of breaking
Yaw articulation working (full 360 rotation still borked)
Minimap works again
Stardust density is now proportional to gravity depth
Generated zones are double the size and better distributed
Orbital hierarchy actually working now (!)
Station start position actually orbits something now
Max gravity strength remapped to infinity (zone boundary is properly impassable now)
Added MPL license headers
SectorRenderer renders entities in sector, manages particle systems for ship thrusters
Thrusters apply torque based on orientation and position relative to ship center of mass
GameManager controls the player ship's thrusters
Player can dock with station if they are near
Created menu screen
Created inventory tab with 2 cargo panes and properties panel
Updated the style of every UI prefab
Implemented Blurred UI material
Implemented UI shaders for map layers
Created Map tab (still needs input)
Improved inventory grid layout system by creating a single spritesheet with all 256 possible combinations of cell adjacency, and modified the inventory script to index individual sprites using adjacency
Aetheria Database Tools now has the ability to customize the shapes of items and hardpoints, and displays hardpoints when editing hull shape
List elements now have foldouts
Lists are presented in the Database Inspector with colors when the list type implements ITintInspector interface
Removed universal GameContext references
Refactored GameContext: It's now only responsible for item management. As such it's now called ItemManager
GlobalData is gone, relevant settings are distributed amongst specialized settings classes
Entities are no longer database entries, references to them are now direct - Zone is reponsible for storing them in ZonePacks
Controller subtypes are now generic classes, class argument is task type
Inventory is now a 2D grid instead of a list
Entity temperature is now a 2D grid instead of a number
Item sizes are now arbitrary shapes instead of a number
Hardpoints are now arbitrary shapes instead
Equipped items have their own temperatures
Map view now displays sunlight colors
Integrated Allegorithmic Substance Plugin
Imported Djinni ship and assigned Substance materials
Removed Node Editor framework (might come back later but needs work to integrate with behavior system)
Asteroid belts are now processed without GC allocations
Fog Raymarching shader now discards samples far from fog surface
Gravity depth calculation avoids some expensive operations
New asteroid models
Asteroid belts have a custom width curve = tighter belts
Zone Generator uses color theory now
Zone gravity well is much deeper, filled with ambient glow
Gravity waves flow over time
Fog follows gravity waves
Gas Giant shader fixed, offsets distort albedo properly
Fog sample distances follow exponential curve
Fog noise offsets sampling position instead of subtracting density = more natural looking noise
Fog brightness fades out at max view distance
Personality now affects production quality
You can now assign population points to infrastructure
Production influences personality
Automated production has a quality variable, imitating population affinity
New properties panel field type for incrementing/decrementing integers
Context menus now support dropdown options
Context menus can now be created for UI elements with new dedicated cancellation click catcher
Game manager creates context menus based on the object being clicked, no need for duplicate code in every context that object appears
Added the ability to associate blueprints and compound commodities with personality attributes
Added the ability to restrict blueprints according to the presence of resources, for resource harvesting infrastructure
Improved the properties panel UI for Sector and Tech tabs
Refactored game loop to allow full local testing
Added AI controller abstractions
Added ability to save database to local copy for offline testing
Tech Tab is now interactive, has properties panel
Added the ability to associate simple commodities with resource maps
Added resource placement to zone generator
Added crafting blueprints and stat addressing system
Refactored Thrusters and Shields into Behaviors
Fixed server losing database connection
Updated icons
Added the ability to generate zones locally in order to facilitate rapidly iterating generation parameters. Then of course I tweaked the shit out of the zone generation!
