Update 0.15.6: Stuff

While I'm still working on getting some wrestling into CPW, here's an update containing more or less random goodies!

Additions

• Input: It is now possible to slightly change the direction while running by holding Left Stick (WASD on keyboards) in the desired direction.
  • The direction change speed is governed by the wrestler's speed.
  • Pressing against the current direction, as before, will cause the wrestler to stop running.

• Input: You can now slightly steer your wrestler when they are ragdolling by using holding Left Stick (WASD on keyboards) in the corresponding direction. This will apply a small force to the upper body, which can be used to somewhat control the direction in which the wrestler is falling.

• Rules: Added a Time Limit match rule.
  • When the match time reaches the time limit, the match is ruled a time limit draw.
  • If a time limit is in place, the match time display will show the remaining time rather than the already passed time.
  • Time limits are not available for matches where new participants enter after the bell (e.g., for timed battle royals).

Changes

• AI: If applicable, AI will now rotate moves towards a direction prioritized in the following order.
  • In battle royals, when inside the ring, moves will be rotated towards the nearest ropes as an attempt to eliminate the victim.
  • When inside the ring, if the victim of the move is ready to be pinned, the move will be rotated towards the center.
  • In case there is a nearby bulky weapon (e.g., stairs or tables), it will be targeted.
  • If none of the above applies, a random direction is chosen.

• Arena: Removed the Christmas trees from the stage.
• CAW: Attires are now selected from a grid dialog featuring thumbnail previews.

• CAW: Split up Arms & Hands and Legs & Feet categories into separate categories (Arms, Hands, Legs, and Feet).
• CAW: When adding a new attire (or editing an empty entry), the attire selection dialog is shown automatically.
• CAW: When saving a wrestler, the old CAW file is now backed up before for the case that saving fails.
  • The backup file will be contained in the wrestler's directory and have a .bak extension. Already existing backups will be overwritten.
  • Restoring a backup is done by removing the .bak extension (the file should then have a .caw extension). If this is ever necessary, please contact the developer.

• Logging: Log entries now contain a timestamp.
• Logging: The game now keeps the 10 most recent logfiles and their filenames contain their creation timestamps.
• Menus: The pages in grid selection dialogs are now sorted alphabetically by the category.
• Moves: The Fingerpoke of Doom is no longer selected at random when randomizing a moveset. This behaviour may also apply for future moves that are more iconic than serious.

Fixes

• AI: Fixed AI failing to slide into the ring from running, e.g., when entering a Timed Battle Royal.
• AI: Fixed AI sometimes "charging up" a grapple but then going for a strike anyway.
• Input: Fixed being able to springboard (and also technically slide) right after hitting the ropes. There is now a small delay like for halting.
