2023.6.0

Summary

This update introduces the Chameleon circuit to the TARDIS. You can now change exteriors at will and mix and match exteriors with any supported extension. There will be a limited selection of exteriors at launch but these should increase quickly as support is added to extensions. Non-standard exteriors are also supported so you could blend in with your surroundings as, for example, a vending machine.

This has been one of, if not the most requested feature of all time so we hope you enjoy it! Also in this update are improvements to tips, landing on things, and various other improvements and fixes.

Changes

• Chameleon circuit by @parar020100 (#880, fixes #61)

  • Added new screen that allows you to select exteriors
  • You can also select an exterior before spawning with the spawnmenu context menu
  • The exterior changes:
    • Instantly upon materialisation if activated during teleport
    • With a phasing animation similar to cloaking otherwise
  • Exteriors cannot be changed and it will wait until these conditions are clear:
    • The doors are open
    • There is insufficient artron energy
    • Power is disabled

• Added control to disable most other controls (except throttle) for roleplay purposes by @p00gie (#895)

• Tips now only show for controls you are looking at by default by @p00gie (#895)

  • There is an option in the settings to show all tips as before
    • Misc -> Tips -> Always show all tips

• Nextbots and props now teleport inside when landed on by @p00gie (#877)

• The GUI can now be scaled in finer increments for more precise control by @parar020100 (#880)

• 3D GUI settings now apply instantly instead of requiring to respawn the TARDIS by @parar020100 (#880)

• Updated languages via CrowdIn

  • Please consider contributing if you'd like to improve translations for your language

Fixes

• Fixed phase (cloak) animation breaking in certain scenarios by @MattJeanes

• Fixed shadows not drawing for parts sometimes by @parar020100 (#880)

• Fixed lists double clicking in the 3D screen by @parar020100 (#880)

• Various script errors fixed by @parar020100 (#880)

• Fixed Type 40 capsule scanner offset by @parar020100 (#880)

• Fixed 3D scanner lighting by @MattJeanes

  • This caused the screen to look too dark or have an unusual tint in certain interiors

• Fixed interior idle sounds being reset to max volume after turning the power back on by @MattJeanes

Internal changes

• Ability to register exteriors separately from interiors by @parar020100 (#880)

  • New function TARDIS:AddExterior() to add exteriors similar to TARDIS:AddInterior()
  • Exterior metadata has the same fields and format as normal
  • Extra fields: ID, Base, Name, Category
  • Exterior metadata files should be in lua/tardis/interiors/exteriors folder
  • TARDIS:ImportExterior(int_id, params) allows importing the exterior from an existing interior
    • int_id is the interior id to take the exterior from
    • params is a table which defines import parameters (all optional):

      ext_id - the exterior id (defaults to interior id)
      base - the base exterior id (same as interior T.Base inheritance system)
      name - the exterior name to display (defaults to interior name)
      category - the category of the exterior (defaults to "Miscellaneous")
      modify_func(E) - a function that changes the exterior for being used with chameleon. Must return a modified E table.
      

  • Extension creators can add exterior preview icons (path: materials/vgui/entities/tardis/exteriors/your_exterior_id)
  • Exterior supported categories:
    • Exteriors.Categories.Misc
    • Exteriors.Categories.PoliceBoxes
    • Exteriors.Categories.TTCapsules

• Added PostScannersToggled hook by @parar020100 (#880)

• tardis2_debug_pointer now adds pos= and ang= to the output by @parar020100 (#880)

• Added force parameter to TARDIS:SpawnTARDIS which bypasses the PlayerSpawnSENT by @MattJeanes

  • This is useful for spawning the TARDIS in scenarios where you don't want normal checks to apply
  • An example of this is in DarkRP custom entities, as calling that hook would normally block spawning
