2024.2.3

Summary

This small update disables culling for the interior lamps, which fixes the issue where lamps would not update until you walked through the interior doors sometimes.

This allows developers to more heavily lean on lamps for lighting now and not worry about visual glitches especially when first spawning and entering the interior.

2023.8.0 - 60th Anniversary Update

Summary

Welcome to the 60th Anniversary TARDIS update!

There is a ton of new stuff in store for you in this update, with a brand new never-before-seen default interior, reaching feature parity with the legacy addon with the addition of tracking and broken flight modes, as well as brand new features such as shields, dupe/save support and controlling falling / landing. There are also a ton of various other improvements and fixes all over so be sure to check out the full release notes!

Changes

• Added a new default interior based on the 2012-2017 series

  • This interior is built new from the ground up, not seen before
  • There is many dials, switches and buttons to play with with brand new controls
  • The screens can swivel, move up and down and rotate around the console
    • Hold the USE key (default E) on the handles of the screens to move them around
    • Press the WALK+USE (default ALT+E) keys on the screen to move the screens up and down
    • If you set the monitors bodygroup to capaldi, you can also rotate the screens by pressing WALK+USE on the handles
  • Many, many little details and interactions with lots of attention to detail
  • Corridors included with various rooms and scenes to check out
  • A huge thank you to:
    • MOLDA for the models and textures
    • @parar020100 for the code and interactions
    • @PoogieTheGoose for some sounds
    • Uriel and vtalanov98 for helping out with some of the models in the process

• Added shields by @parar020100 and @PoogieTheGoose (#965)

  • When taking damage on the exterior, if available, shield energy will be used up instead of taking damage
  • Shields will automatically recharge when not taking damage
  • Shields deactivate automatically if there is no power
  • Shields will take a few seconds to initialize when re-enabled after being disabled
  • Shield to health ratio can be configured by an admin e.g. 10% health 90% shields or 45% shields 55% health
  • Increased the max health setting maximum to 30000 and changed the default to 3000 for the shields

• Added tracking by @MattJeanes (#969)

  • Holding X (by default) as the pilot in third person and selecting a nearby entity will enter tracking mode
  • The sonic screwdriver can also start tracking for a nearby linked TARDIS by holding ALT + Right Click on an entity
    • Note: Holding ALT + Right Click on the TARDIS itself will start tracking the player holding the sonic
  • The TARDIS will enter flight mode automatically if not already in and begin following the target entity automatically
  • You can toggle between following the rotation of the target or ignoring it by pressing T (by default)
  • Note: This is not required when tracking other TARDISes as it is set automatically based on target spin mode
  • The pilot can 'fly' similar to flight mode while tracking which will adjust the relative tracking position to the target
    • This includes rotation, but this can only be used when rotational tracking is enabled
  • Flying away too far, losing line of sight for too long, teleporting and target deletion will disable tracking automatically
  • Tracking can be set to another entity by holding the key again or disabled by holding the key and looking at the world
  • The TARDIS door portal will automatically ignore the tracked entity as well as any entity attached to it
    • This allows you to track entities very closely without them accidentally getting teleported inside

• Added controlled falling / landing by @parar020100 (#934)

  • Holding the flight down key (CTRL by default) when free-falling will put the TARDIS into a controlled fall
  • The TARDIS will automatically dampen landing forces when hitting the ground upright rather than bouncing now

• Updated E2 functions by @NovaAstral and @MattJeanes (#973, #971)

  • Added artron functions: entity:tardisArtronEnergy, entity:tardisMaxArtronEnergy, entity:tardisRemoveArtronEnergy
  • Added shield functions: entity:tardisShields, entity:tardisShieldsOn, entity:tardisShieldsLevel, entity:tardisShieldsPercent, entity:tardisShieldsMax
  • Added tracking functions: entity:tardisTrack, entity:tardisTracking
    • Note: These already existed due to the legacy addon but are now functional in this addon too
  • entity:tardisSpinmode when used without arguments now returns the current spinmode

• Added damaged and broken flight modes by @parar020100 (#965)

  • Damaged/broken flight do not gain artron energy as fast
  • Broken flight costs extra artron energy
  • TARDIS flight will be increasingly unstable as health decreases below 40%
  • Below 10% flight will be completely unstable (similar to legacy broken flight)
  • Teleportation is also affected when the TARDIS is damaged

• Added support for dupes and saves by @parar020100 (#962)

  • The TARDIS exterior can now be duplicated using the duplicator or in save files
  • The state of the TARDIS e.g. flight mode, chameleon circuit is copied 'best effort'
  • Fun fact: There was a bug in wiremod advdupe2 that was fixed due to this work

• Added artron inhibitor by @NovaAstral (#974)

  • Drains 2 artron energy from nearby TARDISes every 3 records when active
  • Can be destroyed and repaired using Sonic Screwdriver

• Various improvements by manual destination selection by @parar020100 (#965, #934)

  • Added chameleon circuit support (F by default)
    • Allows you to select a random exterior for the chameleon circuit
    • You can press it multiple times to pick different exteriors
    • It will automatically apply when the TARDIS materialises again
  • Added rotation mode
    • Rotation mode switches the movement controls to instead rotate the destination ghost
  • Added random / jump to surface / show current buttons
    • Jump to surface (right click by default) allows you to quickly teleport the destination ghost to where you are looking
    • Random (G by default) will teleport the destination ghost to a random location on the ground across the map
    • Show current (H by default) will teleport the destination ghost to the real TARDISes current position
  • Snap to floor (R by default) can now align/stick to the surface below by pressing the key again

• Prevented instantly destroying the TARDIS by forcing it into a surface with the physgun by @parar020100 (#928)

• Vortex flight can now be toggled in third person with the left bracket by default by @parar020100 (#934)

• Added new sounds and sped up HADS dematerialization by @PoogieTheGoose (#965)

• The current key for binds is now shown in the spawnmenu options by @MattJeanes
