Hey all,
Back with another update! This one focuses more on the graphical aspect of the game, but there are some backend fixes as well.
One of the things that really DIDN'T look good in the game was the hair models. I made them myself a LONG time ago as "placeholders" for something better in the future. Well I'm glad to say that today is "The Future" Marty... It was truly one of the main aspects of the game that stuck out as totally amateur.
I know we ALLLL LOVED THE GIANT RIDICULOUS AFRO, but it had to go. It was actually obscuring our view of the fight haha!
In fact, in the backend of the game, the Giant Afro and the Giant beard's Game Objects were actually labelled "Hair Stupid" and "Beard Stupid"... I decided not to change the names for posterity.
ON TO THE UPDATE!
NEW FEATURES:
- BRAND NEW HAIR MODELS!!! 23 Total hair styles, with 7 different beard options. Many new options for everyone, and much nicer looking models/designs. Some of the models I might work on in the future, as there are some transparency issues using certain colors, but for the most part, using dark hair colors, they should be good.
NOTES ON THE NEW HAIR:
- The roster builder is setup to use the new hairstyles, and also old rosters built with the old hair, will all have their hair switched over to the new respective models automatically. However you may notice some color/style issues as I have not updated the rosters to use the new hair.
- However the new models are not exactly the same as the old, I tried to pick similar ones, to replace the old ones (i.e. new afro replaces Stupid Hair etc. etc.)
- Furthermore, since there are 11 new EXTRA hairstyles that didn't exist before, rosters built with the previous version of the game, will not have AI fighters with the newest hairstyles #12-23.
FIXES/QOL:
- Fixes for minimum collision speed on the boxers (trying to minimize the damage caused by walking into the other boxer and head butting, etc.)
- Weigh In properly lets the user know if there is a purse penalty in effect for the fight.
- Fixed head moving like a Drunk while walking forward.
