Robots

• Bosses
  • Added:

      • This is a new attribute that was added with the config update, which can be applied to any robot, we’re testing it on bosses, so they scale better in larger player counts

• Pyros
  • Changed:
    • Custom pitched footsteps back to regular common ones
      • The audio often glitched with this, so it was reverted to something that works

• Backend</h2

• Config Reader
  • Created a config reader that reads .cfg files to import robots
  • Converted all but 4 robots to config files
    • Robots not a config: Samwiz, Dewill, SentryBuster and Saxtron Hale have very specific code that is difficult to make universal
  • Converted all robot abilities to separate plugins
  • This reduced memory used by robot plugins by a lot
    • Since this is a new system and tested, it has not been tested on a full server and may have bugs in it somehow
• Custom Demoknight Attribute
  • Created a custom attribute to easily alter a demoknight’s charge speed
