Mutilate-a-Doll 2 news & patch notes

Patchnotes

Items

Add Health Switch (variant of Medical Switch that works for the doll's total health instead of a single bodypart) Add Velocity Switch (triggers linked items when reaching high enough velocity, customizable via Trigger Force) Add Pointer Random (variant of Pointer that points in a random direction whenever triggered) Rename Stasis Field as Stasis Beam Add Stasis Field (stasis in AoE) Add Stasis Caster (stasis linked) Modify Arcanity to not cut linked items with its effect Fix Eden and Ghost Shotgun pellets colliding with static ghosts Fix Soulstorm projectiles not being ghosted by default Fix Camo Mine not copying colours Fix Dark Gnome Mask and Drone Mask not ending their effects when destroyed

Features

Add that modifies Regeneration property speed. Add negative values support to various Fleshcrafting settings: - Bullet Damage, Blunt Damage, Bleed Damage, Sharp Damage, and Regeneration - Reversing the multipliers will cause healing when normally damaged, to allow things like bullet absorbing. - Negative values may cause wildly unexpected things to happen, are entirely unbalanced, and largely untested. Enjoy. Add (Joints will not attach to the item. Existing joints will remain, even after saving and loading) Add (Armour pieces will not automatically equip on the doll. Armours equipped before adding the property will remain equipped, even after saving and loading.) Add to pick a colour with the cursor when the colour menu is open Add visualization to displaying which joint will be removed Add console command menualpha= that changes the opacity (1 = default, 0 = invisible) of currently open menus for the current session.

Gameplay

Modify Resist Freezing: - Now caps temperature at 1C instead of blocking changes entirely (aka allows extinguishing fires by freezing) - Sub-zero dolls with the property are able to stand and receive visible wounds Modify Concussing property to concuss for longer to make it useful for bullet jackets Modify Hyped property force to be less immediately deadly Fix Flip hotkey not being mappable (default: Tab+mouseover)

Steam

Hopefully finally fix Steam workshop sometimes not loading all subscribed content

MaD Lab

Fix MaD Lab models embedded in saves not updating the Library on load (making them lose functionality) Add triggers::ApplyEffectToLinked (see xml Stasis Caster) Modify triggers::ApplyEffectInRadius triggerCustom to support particles (see xml Stasis Field)

Guns

34 New guns have been added on top of the guns already added previously. They can be found at the top of - Ambidextrous Pistol - Argunity - Attack Gun - Auto-Cannon - Bolter Pistol - Bolter SMG - BRAP Pistol - Bulldog SMG - C SMG - Carbine Rifle - Combat SMG - Compact Battle Rifle - Compact PDW - Cruiser Shotgun - EMP Gun - Gleam Rifle - Gum Gun - Hotshotgun - Incapacitator - Keyboard Gun - Less-Lethal Shotgun - Mega Meat Mortar - Mini Minigun - Nature's Grasp - Pipipipipipistol - Punt Gun - Rail Gun - Snareper - Staser - The Hammerer - Timescatter - Underbarrel Flamethrower - Underbarrel Glinter - Underbarrel Stunner {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/aef75531e971553097df1c97b28baa911ca5a963.png adds various settings for modifying guns and bullets. Most of the previously-hidden firearm values* can now be modified. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/569b99c7e63c482f242e01309e0be36daab84abb.png Like that sniper that shoots 50 bullets. Or an assault rifle that shoots a wall of doll-sized bullets at dolls. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/5c24c85deefd926f0471a444db2fe1952c95cc56.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/e4b9e998433421a8fcfc3fe312397af3e84ffb3f.png allows modifying the properties applied to bullets**. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/e349b61814dfa22f0273e69f4491d87982c77655.png Like a sneaky cornershotgun. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/6b6dae9a0922bacc204524933b161595376ca30f.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/c49c65951a8b75e006e4c7e6c3fbec35bdceac81.png allows overriding the gunshot sound and volume of the gun. - 13 new sound effects have been added in the Firearms category. - Some old sound effects have been modified and renamed to be more descriptive. - Old gun volumes have been normalized to be more in line with each other (instead of shotgun shooting your ears off.) May be expanded to also include other muzzle things, in some form, at a later time.

* Gunsmithing Details

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/e32fe75a0b2ac4ed603042e72812f402f317cdbe.png - Velocity and Scatter affect the velocity that bullets shoot at, which is not affected by the bullet's weight. A baseline forward Velocity is applied first away from the barrel position, which is then modified by a random Scatter. For example a Velocity 100 / Scatter 100 bullet can vary between 50 and 150 final velocity. Meaning that Scatter can make bullets shoot backwards if it's too high. - Recoil affects the force applied to the gun, which is affected by the gun's weight. There is no upwards recoil. - Bullet Size % may be wildly different between different types of bullets, because it's a multiplier of the size of the bullet (whose models may be of various sizes -- e.g. the model used for shotgun pellets at 100% are huge.) - Most old guns don't have reloading, as it was added later on. For example the Assault Rifle shoots infinitely as it has a Magazine Size of 1 bullet and Reload Time of 6 frames, as opposed to modern guns using Bullet Delay for the time between each bullet, and Reload Time only after the magazine is empty. - Bullet Delay, Reload Time, and Burst Delay are measured in frames (aka ticks/updates.) The game tries its best to run at 60 frames per second. For example most assault rifles use 3-6 frames delays between bullets (aka 10-20 bullets per second fire rate.) - Burst Amount enables burst shooting when above 1, which makes the gun automatically shoot multiple bullets in a row when triggered. Bursting uses Bullet Delay between each bullet, Burst Delay between each burst, and Reload Time once the magazine is emptied. For example Battle Rifle shoots as follows: Bullet (Bullet Delay) Bullet (Bullet Delay) Bullet (Burst Delay) ... (Reload Time)

** Bullet Jacket Details

The name "Bullet Jacket" was picked to describe the fact that the properties only apply to generic physical bullets. Meaning that a good chunk of weirder projectiles won't use the properties at all, because most properties require a collision to apply them. E.g. A lot of weapons use raycasts instead of physical projectiles (Blasters, Lasers, Rays, etc.) E.g. Various weapons shoot ghosted AoE projectiles (Microwave Gun, Shockwave Gun, etc.) E.g. Some weapons don't spawn any projectiles (Boomstick, Frost Cannon, etc.) Some properties also aren't available for bullets, e.g. most Alive and Physics properties, because they would break things or not work at all. ----

Welcome to Guns Guns Guns - Gunsmithing

Gunsmithing adds various settings for modifying guns as well as bullet properties via the Detail tool. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/569b99c7e63c482f242e01309e0be36daab84abb.png It currently mostly works, but still needs further testing and ideas for fleshing it out, so

it's available on the Experimental branch:

Right click on MaD2 in your Steam Library and select {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/ce881721a01003230327e2c2483bb0e0f8b44ac5.png If you find any bugs, or have any ideas for more modifiable things, leave feedback in the Discussions or MaD2 Discord. More new guns will follow once the test is finished.

Gunsmith

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/aef75531e971553097df1c97b28baa911ca5a963.png Most of the previously-hidden internal firearm values can now be modified. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/e32fe75a0b2ac4ed603042e72812f402f317cdbe.png

For example a Velocity 100 / Scatter 100 bullet can vary between 50 and 150 final velocity.

Bullet Jacket

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/e4b9e998433421a8fcfc3fe312397af3e84ffb3f.png A fancier name for bullet properties. Previously bullets only inherited properties from guns, which caused various issues since dolls would often be touching those firearms. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/e349b61814dfa22f0273e69f4491d87982c77655.png

Notes:

- It's Detail tool only for now, and may remain as such for boring technical reasons. - It's called Bullet Jacket to describe the fact that the properties only apply to generic physical bullets. Meaning that a good chunk of weirder projectiles won't use the properties at all, because most properties require a collision to apply them. E.g. A lot of weapons use raycasts instead of physical projectiles (Blasters, Lasers, Rays, etc.) E.g. Various weapons shoot ghosted AoE projectiles (Microwave Gun, Shockwave Gun, etc.) E.g. Some weapons don't spawn any projectiles (Boomstick, Frost Cannon, etc.) - Some properties aren't available for bullets, e.g. most Alive and Physics properties, because they would break things or not work at all. If you find any other properties or combinations that don't work properly, please bug report them. - A search bar is coming once the property list and menu is finalized.

Muzzle

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/c49c65951a8b75e006e4c7e6c3fbec35bdceac81.png Currently the exact same as the Sounds menu for other items, allowing you to override the sound and volume the item makes. May be expanded to also include other muzzle things, in some form, at a later time.

New Items

The theme for this update was (obviously) things that do things, with lots of interesting customization via tweakable values and linking. The only exception was no guns, as those will follow in a future update ːMaDFirearmː. The next couple updates will be purely more and more items, to even further flesh out the MaD Lab functionality system (see the Lab section below for more info.) Find them all under . 3D Printer AC Unit Airstrike Flare All-Knowing Shell Annoying Alarm Clock Apocryphal Blade Arcade Machine Atomizer Au Gratin Pan Auto Link Brick Mine Bricking Hammer Bus Stop Sign Can of Worms Card Box Celestial Compass Celestial Star Chaotic Hammer Charged Judgement Cheap Firecracker Chili Spear Core of the Earth Crane Magnet Crucible Curserot Cyber Tire Dirtbike Wheel Disposal Barrel Door Switch Drain Field Egg Carton Electric Iron Exploding Sign Futuristic Monopod Gibstick Single-Use Sword Single-Use Sword Blade Single-Use Sword Box Single-Use Sword Hilt Joint Slinger Link Beam N-Sided Die Neodymium Sword Opacity Switch Pastaff Prisoned Rift Remote Camera Slipping Sign Smart Ice Cube Spring-Loaded Glove Swinging Bottle

Item Tweaks

- Blight only affects Alive items - Bricks are heavier by default - Burning items produce more varied sounds with a higher quality (at the cost of there being an occasional tiny gap since it's no longer a single looped sound) - Lighter-type items trigger Fireworks on touch - Neuro gas deals more damage in a smaller radius - Sticky items stick more (to more items at once, and with more force to walls) - Chainsaw won't spawn more than ten sounds at once (wromrrromrowromowrromor) - Magma projectiles have fancier visuals, are now hotter, and are destroyed when extinguished (e.g. Dragon's Breath) - Magnets no longer affect ignored items - Melting triggers on-destroy effects - Random property effects can't apply disintegrating or ghost (so the property-applying item can actually hit them again) - Worms now also deal damage on bite instead of just applying bleeding {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/c283f542eece601ecff5b4d8943260fe535d35b6.png

Damage Tweaks

- Generic blunt damage is higher by default - Giblets have been tweaked to have more varied sizes and models, to inherit more velocity, burst into blood better, and disintegrate more randomly - Slightly larger chunks are allowed to turn into giblets, but on average fewer giblets will spawn compared to before - Low-mass alive items will produce fewer giblets, to avoid gibsplosions when rapidly cutting {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8f1e3b650c496684861b2092b8bfd0c62eae326e.png

Misc Tweaks

- Main menu does things now - Add console command "detaillocked " (temporarily toggles whether or not detail tool can area select locked items) - Launch tool has been improved to use wheel rotation and mass rotation - Wheel rotation has been modified so selected item only rotates while dragging/moving {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/c283f542eece601ecff5b4d8943260fe535d35b6.png

Item Fixes

- Bleach+Ammonia collision works properly again - Electricity and Neuro gas won't cause bleeding any more - Explosions are more explody aka previously-intended more cuts per explosion were not working properly - Items with Resist Shock are no longer triggered by Shock power

Misc Fixes

- Cloning no longer disables Vanilla spawn property - Compressed triggerCustom won't fail to load sometimes - Wheel speed setting loads at correct values now {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8f1e3b650c496684861b2092b8bfd0c62eae326e.png

MaD Lab

MaD Lab is the item editor made from scratch specifically for MaD2 content creation. The Cryolab update added an XML-based model functionality support to MaD Lab and MaD2, which has since been expanded to be the main content creation workflow for the game. See the documentation for more info: https://gitlab.com/RavaGames/madlab/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8ce81440db6db3a4430eea0830af7e89eb41e300.png While the system was originally made to make item creation easier for myself, all of the new functionalities in this update were also made to be as generic as possible so they can be applied to other models as well and tweaked. (At least, where feasible, e.g. there's kind of no way to generalize an item that spawns spaghetti.) From my point of view the system works brilliantly for content creation -- tweaking item model values in Lab while the game is running and then refreshing to see the changes in-game is just great. More items and more functionalities will follow.

Misc

- Add temperature and temperatureMelt attribute support into functionality - Add "stormcloud" projectile

Triggers

Use via trigger="triggers::TriggerNameCaseSpecific" in functionality XML. - AimAtLinkedAttachment (makes gun aim at linked item while attached, e.g. triggerPos="0,-20" triggerForce="100" triggerColour="e92d15") - Airstrike (Spawns Force amount of linked items every Duration after triggered, items ignore walls and trigger on collision) - AnnoyingAlarmClock (Bounces around.) - ApplyEffectInRadius (applies body effect in radius, e.g. triggerCustom="gib") - ApplyEffectOnSharp (applies body effect on sharp hit, e.g. triggerCustom="gib") - ApplyForceSpecific (e.g. Slipping Sign: triggerForce="100" triggerRadius="200" triggerPos="150,0" triggerCustom="items=doll_foot,doll_leg;force=1,0;pos=0,100;randomForce=true") - AutoJoint (welds items to itself when something hits the joint line, similar to firearm attachments. E.g. triggerPos="0,-20" triggerColour="e92d15") - CameraFollowLinked (makes camera follow the first linked item) - D20 (Rolls a number between 1 and Force. Triggers items when the highest value is rolled.) - DestroyOnColour (Destroys other item when hit by layer with Colour. e.g. triggerColour="FF00FF") - DisintegrateIntoItems (same as SpawnItem except spawns multiple items by adding amount=n in triggerCustom) - DisintegrateIntoParticles (e.g. triggerCustom="particle=tinysprinkle;amount=20" triggerColour="FF00FF" triggerContact="10") - DisintegrateOnHit (applies DisintegrateIntoItems to items it hits, with same triggerCustom parameters, e.g. triggerCustom="items=chilipepper;posX=0;posY=0;scale=0.5;destroy=false;amount=10;randomScale=1;randomPos=1;particle=fire3" triggerColour="FF0000" triggerCollide="50") - DoorSwitch (toggles ghost and sets alpha to Force% on trigger, and resets on untrigger. Only toggles alpha when triggerState="1") - DrainHeal (drains Force health from items in Radius, and sends it to linked items.) - DrawStage (draws the stage on the item, e.g. triggerCustom="posX=0,posY=-60,scale=0.075") - EmitProjectile (triggerForce="Forward Emit Force", triggerDuration="Frames To Emit", triggerPos="X,Y", triggerCustom="Projectile Name") - ExplodeInRadius (makes all items in radius explode every duration frames) - FireworkGrenade (same as firework except explodes more and doesn't fly, e.g. triggerForce="1000" triggerRadius="200" triggerPos="0,-15" triggerDuration="30") - JointSlinger (1. Creates a joint from Pos forwards, up to Radius away. 2. Pulls towards it at Force for Duration. 3. Destroys the joint and starts all over again. E.g. triggerForce="100" triggerDuration="30" triggerColour="94deef" triggerPos="36,0" triggerRadius="1962") - LinkLinkedToRay (links from linked items to items that touch the ray. E.g. triggerForce="100" triggerColour="259e25" triggerPos="20,0") - LinkToJointed (Links linked items to jointed items when triggered.) - MagnetWhenSwung (attracts items in triggerRadius by triggerForce when spinning or moving fast enough, e.g. triggerRadius="200" triggerForce="500") - MeltAndPour (Temperature in radius, destroy on colour, and pour projectiles combined.

To unlock or delete such an item, use the Detail tool. Reseting still deletes them. Add hotkey to quick-clone selected items (click to position and spawn them) Modify cloning not to reset spawn properties (settings are still reset for boring technical reasons.) Add to controls the rotation speed of dragged items when rotated with the mouse wheel Modify all items to use physics rotation when rotated with the mouse wheel by default ( rotates their angle directly if you miss the old functionality.) Modify wheel physics rotation force to be higher by default for better swinging action Modify currently selected item (1) to rotate with the mouse wheel while paused (overriding zooming while the item is selected) Modify default wheel rotation angle step to be 15 degrees (this is also affected by wheel rotation setting) Modify mass rotation to be the default when multiple items are rotated with arrow keys Modify mass rotation with to rotate all items around their centre when multiple items are selected

Saves:

Modify MaD Lab model saving to check for unique models to avoid duplicates bloating the save size and causing loading performance to tank Rename Load Content as Browse Content

Misc:

Modify integer snapping to apply to newly spawned items as well as moving items Add console command "snap " (variant of "integerscaling "). When enabled causes item positions to snap to the nearest full number when spawned/moved so things can be perfectly aligned without worrying about floating point precision. Default: 0. Add console command "ps " (variant of "prioritizeselection "). When enabled, toggles prioritizing selected items with tools (default: 1) Fix prev/next item keys in spawn menu not working properly Fix non-bullet items sometimes being treated as bullets Fix decomposing items (e.g. Shard Sword) not respecting skin Fix library reseting when spawning a custom item

Bloody Mess

The most complex update the game has ever seen is finally here. It adds the most-requested feature ever to the game: Stabbing, and a ton of other relevant things. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/5b467e66f37b7addd222c72fcb0b23d8e39683d3.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8f1e3b650c496684861b2092b8bfd0c62eae326e.png

MaD Lab is now available on Steam!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8ce81440db6db3a4430eea0830af7e89eb41e300.png MaD Lab is the item modelling tool used to design all the new items in MaD2, and it's now available on Steam. Download it through the Tools category of your Steam Library: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/5330be1f7524c2ce63e8353bc51bcc6d1716b204.png In addition to all the bloody mess, this update also has improvements relevant to MaD Lab: - Model management has been revamped, making it a lot easier to add your own models to the game. - Models are now saveable so you can make whatever you want in MaD Lab, and share it with others. Tired of jointing bananas onto your high-tech space armour to decorate it? Try designing it in MaD Lab! It'll not only look good, but also have better performance, and won't not immediately explode into a mess of joints in-game. Win-win-win. Need help with MaD Lab? Ask for help on #MaD-Lab-Models on MaD2 Discord {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/c283f542eece601ecff5b4d8943260fe535d35b6.png

Bloody Mess Patchnotes

Even after rigorous beta testing (thanks, beta testers,) due to the complexity of the update, and the fact that sweeping changes like these affect essentially every single item in the game - that'd be 2663 at the time of writing - there will inevitably still be some issues left to fix. As usual, please report all bugs on MaD2 Discord, or the Bug Reports discussions so I can fix them. The full, massive, patchnotes can be found below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8f1e3b650c496684861b2092b8bfd0c62eae326e.png

TL;DR

- Stabbing with sharp items. - Bullet penetration. - Dolls are now more durable by default. - - Detail Tool has new toys, and a new look. - MaD Lab is now available on Steam, and models are now saveable. Use it. - Fixed all the bugs. Added more bugs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/c283f542eece601ecff5b4d8943260fe535d35b6.png

STABBING

- Sharp items will stab through dolls, cutting them while doing so. - Stabbing will happen at a medium force or velocity. (whereas full on cutting happens at a high force or velocity.) - Plain bullets will penetrate through dolls, damaging them, and slowing down as they pass through. - Penetration depends on the bullet velocity and size. (tiny bullets slow down more)

DOLLS

- Dolls are now generally much more durable by default, and default healths have been increased. (This was necessary to give items a wider damage range that was possible before, since sharp items now deal consistent stabbing damage as they pass through a body.) - After years of training, dolls can now headstand and bend their arms both ways. - Individual bodyparts can now be concussed, and concussion also happens when receiving overwhelming damage over multiple hits - Dolls will get less adequate at standing as damaged (as opposed to suddenly flopping to the ground like before) - Individual bodyparts that are highly damaged, or concussed, will appear limp. (as opposed to disabling the entire doll's standing like before) - Health transfers slower between bodyparts by default, but bleeding and low health bodyparts drain health faster than before. - Regeneration property now heals for 0.1% of health per frame (instead of flat health per frame, so it's now stronger, and scales with high-health dolls)

ALIVE SETTINGS

Added Alive Settings: A bunch of multiplier settings that affect dolls and other alive items have been added. They can be modified via when an alive item is selected, and via . - % Health - Health multiplier. (Only available in Spawn menu, as Detail tool has exact health.) - % Concussion - Damage required to concuss the item. - % Standing - Standing force. (Or dancing, at higher values.) - % Skin Thickness - Force required for sharp items to cut and stab. - % Body Density - Items that stab dense items slow down more, and require more force to detach. - % Bullet Penetration - How easily plain bullets pass through the item. - % Global Damage - All damage received multiplier (stacks with other things below) - % Bullet Damage - Plain bullet damage received multiplier. - % Blunt Damage - Blunt damage received multiplier. - % Bleed Damage - Bleed damage multiplier, affecting cuts and wounds. - % Sharp Damage - Cut damage received multiplier.

DAMAGE

Tons of things have been rebalanced to match new doll healths. Please report if there are any useless items or features that need buffing. - Cut and cut wound bleeding damage are generally lower (to compensate for cutting happening continuously as the item is stabbed) - Plain bullet damages and headshots have been modified to be more in line with new doll healths - Blunt item damage deals multiple instances of lower damage (instead of one huge cloud of blood per hard collision) - Fall/blunt damage against static objects is lower - Powers and various item features deal more damage to match new healths better Modify blood visuals: - The amount of blood and ites spread has been generally lowered, since stabbing applies *a lot* of damage and wounds - Blood visual effects have been modified (bleeding, cut wounds, stab wounds, bullet holes, blunt smacks, etc.)

GAMEPLAY

- Add functionality (and unfreeze) (Disables/enables physics for the item, same as setting the item Static, or 0% Weight, but much less clunky.) (Hotkey: , one of few only remaining unmapped keys, modify via ) - Add on items (Choose a key* that toggles the trigger for the item when pressed.) - Add on items (Choose a key* that triggers the item while pressed.) (* Will override the chosen key's normal functionality entirely. E.g. If you bind a bunch of items to WASD, those items will do the things instead of the camera moving.) - Add slider (0-100%) which modifies the transparency of the item (Note: Applies to the effects layer as well. This is not a bug but just how the graphics work: The effects layer is a child of the graphic, so transparency affects it.) (Can be set above 100%, in which case the model's transparent layers will also be boosted towards opaque) - Add (Always acts as if gravity was 20 and wind 0, even if environment settings are changed, and ignores gravity-modifying effects from items and the Crush power) - Add (when triggered, also triggers all linked items) - Add (when triggered, only triggers linked items. Note that the base item is untriggered after each trigger, even if it would normally be toggled on.) - Modify to resist all forms of disintegration (Note that this also affects alive items disintegrating into blood when out of health) - Modify Rotate tool hotkey to be in the default keymap because logic (swapping it with Scale tool, which is now ) - Add fullscreen toggle

ITEM MODELS

MaD Lab models are now saveable: - Meaning, anyone can load saves that contain your item models. - This can increase your designs' performance immensely (because you can potentially replace dozens of items and a spiderweb of joints with a single item model.) - Model data is embedded in the save as-is at the time of saving. (E.g. Modifying the model and loading an old save will still contain the old model.) - Embedded model data can not reasonably be turned back into a MaD Lab item, so please back up your model files so you don't lose them. - Adding a lot of models, and/or very complex models, increases the size and load time of the save. Item model management redesign: The extremely clunky in-game management system has been replaced. Find it via (previously ). - All item model management is now done using the file system (Simply edit the model file using MaD Lab and the changes will be available in-game immediately without restart.) (Please back up your model files frequently, just in case.) - Added button that opens the folder where models can be placed (It's located at: %APPDATA%/games.rava.mutilate/Local Store/models) - Added button that loads all the item models from the folder into the game - Added button that opens MaD Lab site (note that MaD Lab is now also available on Steam) - Add "Empty." under Item Models with help text if no models exist - Models.sol is now obsolete, but it still works for legacy purposes (Console commands "modelimport" and "modelmanage" can be used for manual model management)

PHYSICS

Cutter: - Cutter now works much better on small cuts. (aka Bag of Chips is no longer indestructible.) (and as such Min Cut Length setting has been removed as useless) - Cutter will now continue cutting even if the cut started inside a body (meaning that embedding explosives inside items should work much better) - Explosions now cut more, through multiple bodies, and more randomly Shocks: - Shocks now arc to nearby items (radius depending on their duration: short shocks will rarely arc, and longer ones will) - Shock spreading is now much more random (duration fades randomly instead of uniformly, and may increase when spreading to other items for a second wind) Miscellaneous: - Fix bullets always colliding on first frame after spawning (even if the victim is supposed to ignore the collision) - Fix joints not recreating properly when respawning items

VISUAL EFFECTS

- Stamping works with any spawned item (Note: only the detail item can be stamped this way, not all selected items like normally. Stamping this way includes all effects that are on the item, so custom items of often-used stamps can be created and then used to stamp after spawning.) - Add muzzle flash to all plain bullet guns. - Modify selection highlight vfx - Modify visual effects masking to look better on complex items - Fix flipping not flipping stains and stamps - Fix scaling scaling stamps wrong

ITEMS

Add Turbo Propertator (Overrides linked items' properties with this item's properties) Add Turbo Linkerator (Overrides jointed items' links with this item's links) Add Virtual Triggerstick (a variant of Virtual Joystick that triggers linked items when pulled from the centre) Add Compact Detector (a variant of Item Detector that's identical to it but smaller so it's usable inside gadgets) Add Beam Blaster (blasts beams) Add Caller Ball, a variant of Target Ball (spawns freezing snowballs instead of sharp ones) Add Timer Switch For, a variant of Timer (Toggles trigger for all linked items, counts down to duration, and toggles again.) Add Snow Grenade (a freezing explosive variant of snowball) Modify Gravity Device not to gravity itself because it was annoying Modify items-as-projectiles to ignore the same type of projectile (e.g. Bananas from Banana Magazine won't collide with each other.) Modify placeholder item to be square (instead of stapler, for collider performance) Modify implosive+explosive items to disintegrate on collision Modify pencils and icicles to have a sharp tip Fix Icicle Gun icicles not using its skin Modify Ragdoll Figure to spawn the ragdoll at its own scale Modify Light Sabers to use Trigger Force for length Modify all previously-ultrasharp items to use triggers::CutOnCollision with modifiable triggerForce instead Modify Antique Lamp, Electric Candelabra, Lightbulb, and Table Lamp not to use laggy shadow casting (which only works for a single source at once) Modify Kronos Mask+Antenna to have Trigger Duration setting (affects duration of slow motion on hit) Modify Wrist Rocket Launcher skin so its projectiles can be skinned better Modify Wrist Rocket Launcher projectiles to inherit skin Modify Kinetizer not to launch linked items Modify Energy Sword to have "energy" tag so it appears in search results when searching for "Energy" Modify Gas Grenade projectiles to respect particle effect overwriting (if there are other similar items, report them, it's unfortunately a manual process to make things-that-spawn-things to work with the effect) Modify Chest model to have fewer colliders and a skin that matches Open Chest (existing saves are not affected) Modify Button to have default duration of 1 (stops triggering instantly instead of after the previous 10 frame delay) Modify Button to use trigger duration (can trigger for a longer time after pressed) Rename Taser as Tazer so it zaps more Fix items spawned via hotkeys using spawn skins of different items Fix crumbler bullets ignoring Crumbler item Fix Repel not respecting Resist Gust Fix Wind bullets not working (and they now repel instead of generating explosions) Fix Inflatable Decoy not being affected by bullets Fix balloons not being able to trigger some collision events Fix Battery Trigger being able to trigger items when re-triggered while out of power Fix Witch's Items not accounting for projectile mass when shooting (causing some projectiles to fly out very fast, or very slow) Fix Antique Lamp layering issue Fix Speaker Drone text not respecting camera pan Fix Mongolian Armour being named Mongolian Armor instead of Mongolian Armour Add triggers::LightSource (triggerPos(x,y), triggerColour(RRGGBB), triggerRadius(n)) that spawns a Soft Glow around the item Add triggers::Slowmotion (triggerDuration) Add triggers::Explode (triggerRadius, triggerForce, triggerCustom="cuts=true;sounds=sfx1,sfx2;particles=particle1,particle2") Modify triggers::StunGun to use triggerColour instead of static value

TOOLS

General: Modify body picking to prioritize selected items (Making it easier to pick the item you actually want to interact with. Affects all tools that use picking.) Modify jointing line to use the joint's colour and have a shadow for legibility Stab Tool: Force is much more usable Doesn't stab instantly, only after mouse is pressed again after dragging Drag Tool: Mode toggling doesn't require exact mouseover to make it more flexible (Press Drag tool hotkey while dragging to toggle between physics and damped dragging modes) Mode toggling works with RMB/trigger when the item doesn't have a trigger functionality Detail Tool: Categorize various things under Physics/Graphics tabs Add (same as setting Static property but less clunky) Modify to list all selected items Item indicator line ends near the targeted item instead of directly at its centre Settings update twice a second (instead of six times a second, for both performance and to make it look less hectic) Skinning constantly applies changes (and no longer respawns the item when skinning) Skinning saves and restores previous item and skin in Spawn menu when the skinning menu is closed Skinning applies to all identical selected items Skin cloning also clones blood colour automatically increases maximum health when going above it Fix menu opening offscreen if the item is too high on the screen Launch Tool: Launches all selected items (only the clicked one will be initially dragged) Only rotates the target item while Shift is pressed Continuously sleeps items so they won't fall when bumped Link Tool: Replace lines with arrows Add hover outline display for linking/unlinking Add line animation when linking/unlinking Fix some links not being drawn when multiple items are selected Weld Tool: Now applies to all selected items (Other joints don't make sense to work like this since they're position-based) Fix quick-welding not respecting joint menu graphics settings (double tap joint hotkey, drag while pressing, and release) Line visual starts at item's centre for better preview (since welds are item-item and not position-position) Misc: Modify ignore line to be thicker Modify default joint width to be 2 Modify Piston joint to have break force Modify selected invisible items to display hull outline while paused (Since they can't use the glow filter because they don't have graphics) Fix various linking edge case issues (all selected <-> unselected cases should now work as expected) Fix concuss power disabling armours

USER INTERFACE

Add favourite levels list in the Library (same as Content menu, but more accessible) Modify various icons Modify dark menu text to have more contrast Modify Library categories not to be underlined Modify properties list not to highlight current selection Add category and move relevant things there Rename as Modify custom item creation via library to have additional tooltips Modify content deletion tooltips to better indicate that you have to manually save to confirm deletions Fix quickspawn (, search, ) autocomplete not accepting arrow keys, making it slowspawn Fix Content menu refusing to open more than once Add default values to some tooltips

MISCELLANEOUS

Add console command "selectColour " (e.g. selectColour FF0000) to temporarily change the select highlight colour (only affects select glow) Add console command "whatdoesthisdo" that displays additional info when an item is selected with the Detail Tool (e.g. trigger class and some internal values that are too obscure to be added to the Detail Tool, but may be useful when adding xml funcs) Add console command "stampquality <0/1>" which toggles stamp anti-aliasing Modify all quicksaves of previous session to be stored in a backup file (instead of latest 3) Modify scrollwheel zoom to be enabled by default Fix quickloading failing while drag-spawning an item Fix armours not detaching properly when manually removing the equip joint Fix weight sometimes defaulting to 20% instead of 100% Fix colour picker rounding issue causing the colour to slightly change when re-selecting colours Remove sound panning L/R because it never works right

WORKSHOP

Add support for editing existing Workshop items when you re-submit an item with the same name (Please back up the shared content before you attempt this just in case, as the game's workshop functionality in general is very shaky.)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/308b37f47507d585f6987fa8ea66490f05202cfe.png The Bloody Mess Beta Test is a sneak peek at some of the upcoming new features where you can help destroy all the bugs before the update is released. This is one of the largest updates made to the game ever, so there will be tons of issues, which is why it's releasing on the opt-in Experimental Branch first. To play the beta, navigate to and select the Experimental branch. After that, redownload the game and you should gain access to the beta update. The full, massive, patchnotes can be found below, and all testing and bug reporting should be related to them in some way during the test. Report bugs on MaD2 Discord, or the Bug Reports discussions on Steam. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/dd914eb976a685e9754a6b2710b6c7b83098f947.png ------------------------ STABBING, DOLLS & DAMAGE ------------------------ Add physics stabbing: - Any item that has a sharp layer will attempt to stab through dolls, temporarily disabling collisions and damaging the doll. - Stabbing happens at medium force or velocity. (Cutting happens at high force or velocity.) - Modify sticky items not to lose their velocity when stuck Known issue: Weapons may get ejected from stab wounds. Stabbing is physics-based, working via weak joints. It's a delicate balance of being able to remove the weapons, and the weapons falling out on their own. I'll keep tweaking it. Known issue: Stabbing is not consistent. It will likely be different on each load of a save due to physics jitter. This is not something that can be fixed, really, but may be improved. Add physics bullet penetration: - Penetration mainly depends on the bullet velocity, but bullets will slow down as they pass through bodies. Known issue: Bullets may boomerang back towards the body they stabbed. Known issue: Even "weak" bullet-spewing weapons are currently able to penetrate. The system will be fleshed out eventually so there's more differentiation between different weapons. Modify dolls: - Doll healths are now 500% of what they were before by default. (This was necessary to give items a wider damage range that was possible before, since sharp items now deal consistent stabbing damage as they pass through a body.) Known issue: This will break a lot of items that deal flat damage. Report them so they can be buffed. - Doll hands now bend both ways. - Concussions now require a harder hit. - Regeneration property now heals for 0.1% of health per frame (instead of flat health per frame, so it's now stronger, and scales with high-health dolls) Modify various damages: - Modify cut and cut bleeding damage to be generally lower (to compensate for cutting happening continuously as the item is stabbed) - Modify plain bullet damages and headshots to be more in line with new doll healths - Modify blunt item damage to deal multiple instances of lower damage (instead of one huge cloud of blood per hard collision) - Modify fall/blunt damage against static objects to be lower - Modify contact damage instance amount not to be capped (previously 10/frame) Modify blood visuals: - The amount of blood particles and their spreads has been toned down since stabbing applies a lot of damage and wounds - Various blood visual effects (cutting, bullet holes, blunt) have been modified to be more varied - Modify bullet hole graphics to draw on all nearby bodies (to make them look better near bodypart overlaps.) Known issue: bullet holes may get drawn vertically on bodyparts while passing through a body horizontally. - Modify particles to have a small amount of random friction for variety Cutter: - Cutter now works much better on even the smallest cuts. Bag of Chips is no longer indestructible (and as such Min Cut Length setting has been removed as useless) - Cutter will now continue cutting even if the cut started inside a body (meaning that embedding explosives inside items should work much better) - Modify cut sounds to be more varied in volume Explosions: - Explosions now cut more, through multiple bodies, and more randomly - Generic explosions have generally more particles Shocks: - Shock spreading is now much more random (duration fades randomly instead of uniformly, and may increase when spreading to other items for a second wind) - Shocks now arc to nearby items (radius depending on their duration: short shocks will rarely arc, and longer ones will) ------------------------ MODELS ------------------------ Redesign model management under to simplify the whole system: All model management is now done using the file system, so you can simply edit the model file using MaD Lab and the changes will be available in-game immediately Models.sol is now essentially obsolete, but it still works Console commands "modelimport" and "modelmanage" can be used for legacy model management Add button that opens the folder where models can be placed Add button that loads all the item models from the folder Add support for saving MaD Lab models: Meaning that anyone can load saves that contain your item models Doing so increases the save size drastically, especially with more complex models Model data is saved as-is at the time of saving. Modifying the model, refreshing, and re-saving will update the model. (Modifying the model, refreshing, and loading an old save will still contain the old model.) Saved model data can not be turned back into a MaD Lab item, so make sure you don't lose your source files if you want to modify them ever. Known issue (but needs a reproducible save string): Saving a model may cause loading to fail until game is restarted. May manifest as joints loading into upper left corner, or random places. Modify item models to only load on start instead of each time Library is opened (since the Refresh button exists now) ------------------------ VISUAL EFFECTS ------------------------ Add muzzle flash to all guns. Known issue: Muzzle flash probably shouldn't be on *all* guns as it looks just weird on some of them. Modify selection highlight vfx Modify smooth blood to be smaller by default (20 -> 12) Modify visual effects masking to look better on complex items Modify spawn sprite position while stamping for more consistent quality Fix flipping not flipping stains and stamps Fix flipping causing stamps not to save ------------------------ ITEMS ------------------------ Add slider (0-100) which modifies the transparency of the item (Applies to the effects layer as well. This is not a bug but just how the graphics work: The effects layer is a child of the graphic, so transparency affects it.) (Can be set above 100%, in which case the model's transparent layers will also be boosted towards opaque) Add Resist Gravity property (Always acts as if gravity was 20 and wind 0, even if environment settings are changed, and ignores gravity-modifying effects from items and the Crush power) Add Beam Blaster that blasts beams Add Caller Ball, a variant of Target Ball (spawns freezing snowballs instead of sharp ones) Add Timer Switch For, a variant of Timer (Toggles trigger for all linked items, counts down to duration, and toggles again.) Add Snow Grenade, a freezing explosive variant of snowball Modify items-as-projectiles to ignore the same type of projectile (e.g. Bananas from Banana Magazine won't collide with each other.) Modify placeholder item to be square (instead of stapler, for collider performance) Modify implosive+explosive items to disintegrate on collision Modify Ragdoll Figure to spawn the ragdoll at its own scale Modify Light Sabers to use Trigger Force for length Modify all previously-ultrasharp items to use triggers::CutOnCollision with modifiable triggerForce instead Modify Antique Lamp, Electric Candelabra, Lightbulb, and Table Lamp not to use laggy shadow casting (which only works for a single source at once) Modify Kronos Mask+Antenna to have Trigger Duration setting (affects duration of slow motion on hit) Modify Wrist Rocket Launcher skin so its projectiles can be skinned better Modify Wrist Rocket Launcher projectiles to inherit skin Modify Kinetizer not to launch linked items Modify Energy Sword to have "energy" tag so it appears in search results when searching for "Energy" Modify Gas Grenade projectiles to respect particle effect overwriting (if there are other similar items, report them, it's unfortunately a manual process to make things-that-spawn-things to work with the effect) Modify Chest model to have fewer colliders and a skin that matches Open Chest (existing saves are not affected) Modify Button to have default duration of 1 (stops triggering instantly instead of after the previous 10 frame delay) Modify Button to use trigger duration (can trigger for a longer time after pressed) Rename Taser as Tazer so it zaps more Fix items spawned via hotkeys using spawn skins of different items Fix crumbler bullets ignoring Crumbler item Fix Repel not respecting Resist Gust Fix Wind bullets not working (and they now repel instead of generating explosions) Fix Inflatable Decoy not being affected by bullets Fix balloons not being able to trigger some collision events Fix Battery Trigger being able to trigger items when re-triggered while out of power Fix Witch's Items not accounting for projectile mass when shooting (causing some projectiles to fly out very fast, or very slow) Fix Antique Lamp layering issue Fix Speaker Drone text not respecting camera pan Fix Mongolian Armour being named Mongolian Armor instead of Mongolian Armour Add triggers::LightSource (triggerPos(x,y), triggerColour(RRGGBB), triggerRadius(n)) that spawns a Soft Glow around the item Add triggers::Slowmotion (triggerDuration) Add triggers::Explode (triggerRadius, triggerForce, triggerCustom="cuts=true;sounds=sfx1,sfx2;particles=particle1,particle2") Modify triggers::StunGun to use triggerColour instead of static value ------------------------ TOOLS ------------------------ Modify body picking to prioritize selected items (Making it easier to pick the item you actually want. Affects all tools that use it) Modify tool and power radius to be 50px by default (from 40px) Modify power effect force to be 100% by default (from 50%) Modify selected invisible items to display hull outline while paused (Since they can't use the glow filter because they don't have graphics) Modify Stab Tool force to be much more usable Modify Stab tool not to stab instantly, only after mouse is pressed again after beginning to drag Modify Drag tool mode toggling to not require exact mouseover to make it more reliable (Press Drag tool hotkey while dragging to toggle between physics and damped dragging modes) Modify Drag tool toggling to work with RMB when the item doesn't have a functionality Detail Tool: Item indicator line ends near the targeted item instead of directly at its centre Settings update twice a second (instead of six times a second, for both performance and to make it look less hectic) Skinning constantly applies changes (and no longer respawns the item when skinning) Skinning saves and restores previous item and skin in Spawn menu when the skinning menu is closed Skinning applies to all selected items automatically increases maximum health when going above it Fix menu opening offscreen if the item is too high on the screen Launch Tool: Launches all selected items (only the clicked one will be dragged) Only rotates the target item while Shift is pressed Continuously sleeps items so they won't fall when bumped Modify link tool visuals: Replace lines with arrows Add hover outline display for linking/unlinking Add line animation when linking/unlinking Fix some links not being drawn when multiple items are selected Modify ignore line to be thicker Modify default joint width to be 2 Modify Piston joint to have break force Modify jointing line to use the joint's colour Modify jointing line to have a shadow for legibility Modify weld line to start at item's centre for better preview (since welds are item-item and not position-position) Modify welding to apply to all selected items (note that other joints don't make sense to work like this since they're position-based) Fix quick-welding (double tap joint hotkey, drag while pressing, and release) not respecting joint menu graphics settings Fix various linking edge case issues (all selected <-> unselected cases should now work as expected) Fix concuss power disabling armours ------------------------ STEAM ------------------------ Add support for editing existing Workshop items when you re-submit an item with the same name (! Please back up the shared content before you attempt this just in case, as the workshop functionality in general is very shaky.) ------------------------ USER INTERFACE ------------------------ Add favourite levels list in the Library (same as Content menu, but more accessible) Modify main menu icons Modify Library icons Modify menu toggle styling to have more contrast Modify dark menu text to have more contrast Modify Library categories not to be underlined Modify properties list not to highlight current selection Add MaD Lab button under Item Models Add "Empty." under Item Models with help text if no models have been imported Rename "Local Models" as "Item Models" Rename "Favourites" as "Favourite Items" Modify custom item creation via library to have additional tooltips Modify content deletion tooltips to better indicate that you have to manually save to confirm deletions Fix quickspawn (, search, ) autocomplete not accepting arrow keys, making it slowspawn Fix Content menu refusing to open more than once Add default values to some setting tooltips Add default values to environment slider tooltips ------------------------ SAVES ------------------------ Modify all quicksaves of previous session to be stored in a backup file (instead of latest 3) Fix quickloading failing while drag-spawning an item Fix complex triggerCustom values causing an issue when saving ------------------------ MISCELLANEOUS ------------------------ Add fullscreen toggle Add console command "selectColour " (e.g. selectColour FF0000) to temporarily change the select highlight colour (only affects select glow) Add console command "whatdoesthisdo" that displays additional info when an item is selected with the Detail Tool (e.g. trigger class and some internal values that are too obscure to be added to the Detail Tool, but may be useful when adding xml funcs) Add console command "stampquality <0/1>" which toggles stamp anti-aliasing Fix reseting while cancelling keymapping Modify scrollwheel zoom to be enabled by default Fix armours not detaching properly when manually removing the equip joint Fix weight sometimes defaulting to 20% instead of 100% Fix colour picker rounding issue causing the colour to slightly change when re-selecting colours Remove sound panning L/R because it never works right

All changes from the Experimental branch have been promoted to the main branch, including: Add Near-Field (Un)Trigger (variants of (Un)Trigger Field that only affect linked items) Add new Logic items that make more sense and work more like traditional logic gates (doesn't affect saves, old versions are now legacy items and no longer available in the Library as they're pretty much inferior) Add link to MaD Lab popup when clicking on flask icon Modify to only display Projectiles toggle if Items is toggled (because projectiles are items) Modify various tooltips for clarity Fix various issues with Virtual Joystick Fix Flat Oval being a duplicate of Capsule Shape (it's now wider) Fix Killing property deleting items with Physics Blood enabled Fix a global issue with skin checks affecting some items, such as Toy Dispenser, causing skin inheritance not to work properly Fix various model credits

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8a483025e39366c0626291e49b12a4ca99f51ccc.png The update adds 100+ new items, and editor support to make your own items with functionality! ----

Items

Cryolab update adds 100+ items, around half of which have some kind of functionality. Enjoy. All the items are available now in . {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/a2489b7e2f661722ce3e4b80486a378220560b78.png (Click to view full size. There's a lot to see. Or just check them out in-game.) ----

MaD Lab, the item editor for MaD2

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/72b26ed93570cbd216231294e31c2e8557199756.png MaD Lab is the item editor that has been used to design almost all models in the game. It's publicly available, and can be used to make your own item models. As of this update, MaD Lab also supports adding a special format of XML that allows you to add functionality to your models, juicing them up. It's a bit complicated, but the Cryolab update's models were entirely made using the new functionality, so it shouldn't be insurmountable, especially when following the documentation. Design your own model now in MaD Lab! ---- As usual, please report all issues with the update on the Bug Reports forums via Discussions. Thank you, and enjoy the update.

Maker Update OUT NOW!

https://i.imgur.com/gWhwR2o.png

New Items

A huge batch of simple items to help customize your dolls and levels has been added. They also work great with Stamping, another feature being added in this update (see below!) https://i.imgur.com/xXBpEQJ.gif

• 100+ Maker Shapes A large set of simple shapes that can be used to decorate and customize whatever you're making.
  • Their hitboxes are generally as simple as possible for performance: a lot of the visual holes aren't physical holes

• Maker Effects A selection of wounds, stains, and scars, that can be used to decorate and customize whatever bloody mess you're making. + A set of glows to make your creations look extra shiny!

• Maker Gadgets An arsenal of gadgets that do things that are hopefully useful, such as moving items or changing the behaviour of Drones.
  • See functionality tooltips to see what each item does.
  • Some of them are variants of existing items that do slightly diffent, but useful, things compared to the base item.

Stamps

A long-planned feature, has been added, allowing stamping any item's graphics onto the selected item(s) by dragging and dropping items from the Spawn menu. https://i.imgur.com/f8bXKC3.gif

• Skin, scale, rotate, or flip the item before stamping to change how it'll appear on the item (using Spawn menu's settings, or: (Shift+), (Shift+), and while dragging a stamp out of the Spawn menu)

Notes:

• Stamps are drawn on the visual effects raster canvas, where wounds and other effects also appear, so they will be overwritten by other gameplay effects, and can also be entirely cleaned off by various means such as soap

• Saving the effects layer significantly increases the size and load time of saves since each precious pixel is meticulously saved. Very large items will take approximately forever to load with stamps.

• Moving or removing a stamp is not possible after it has been drawn, so remember to save often if you're making something fancy

• Scaling stamped items does scale the visual effects layer, but the quality will be lower than scaling first and then stamping

• If your ragdoll is entirely covered in armour or miscellaneous stuff, and the visual effects on the doll itself don't matter, making the doll stainless will slightly optimize the save size, load time, and performance

Incremental Loading

All items in saves and custom items are now incrementally loaded to spread out the loading workload. This means that the game will spawn new items from the save each frame instead of attempting to bruteforce through all of them at once and causing the game to freeze. https://i.imgur.com/XopNbtD.gif

• Loading speed can be changed in
• To stop loading the content midway through, Reset ( by default) while it's doing its thing.
• Joints are created in a single step after all items have been spawned, which will still be noticeably laggy in more complex saves
• There will be issues because it's such a fundamental change. The save format has not changed, only the method of loading them, so any saves that fail to incrementally load will be fixed as the underlying issues are fixed after I receive proper bug reports. Please report any issues in Bug Reports.

Maker Environments

Thanks to Incremental Loading, a set of saves originally shared as User Content by talented players¤ have been added into the game as Maker Environments to showcase them and inspire more creators to create more creations. https://i.imgur.com/Lz7iwa5.png

• The Maker Environments largely function identically to saves with the exception that reseting will load the save instead of clearing everything.
• None of the environment content is locked, so you can modify them after loading if you so wish.
• More will be added later. If you know of a great save that would be a good fit as an Environment (unique, performant, and overall awesome), please let me know.

Note: ¤ I usually credit all player creations that are added in-game, but unfortunately sourcing the original creator of many of the environments was not possible due to there often being multiple versions by multiple people in the data set that I browsed through. So I've gone ahead and blanket-credited "talented players". I'm sure you know who you are.

One-Way Links

Links are now only created from the trigger item to the target item, as opposed to both of them linking to each other and causing issues. I.E. Linking from a Button to a Lightbulb will light it up when the button is pressed. Linking the other way around will do nothing because Lightbulb doesn't have a functionality that uses Links. https://i.imgur.com/zd5CY0s.gif

• Links now indicate their starting item with a circle at the beginning of the link.
• Linking from an item to an already-linked item will now remove that specific link.
• Item scaling now retains links properly.

Note:

• This will probably mess up some things that expect items to be linked to each other. Please report any issues in Bug Reports.

Joint Improvements

A new Detail tool tab, has been added. https://i.imgur.com/uLJtwjV.png

• The list contains joint types and targets, as well as their settings when hovered.
• The tab allows removing all joints on the selected item, or hiding all joints if you forgot to set them invisible while building
• Remove individual joints by clicking them on the list.

Piston joints have been reworked The way the joint is created has been redone, so it doesn't do entirely weird stuff all the time, might actually be usable, and might even make some sense. https://i.imgur.com/fNd1wPe.gif

• This is likely to mess up existing saves with piston joints. Sorry.
• Add motor toggle in joint menu
• Fix Piston joints being created offset from body center, causing bad behaviour
• Modify body-body limit indicator to appear on both bodies while creating the joint
• Remove Break force from the joint menu since the joint can't be broken in the first place

Saving Improvements

Visual effects for items are now saved¤, including stamps, any blood, and item effects such as worm holes Bleeding wounds on ragdolls are now saved (heal or cauterize them before saving if you don't want to save them) Buffdoll is now saveable¤¤ Additionally:

• Content load paste field now accepts valid save strings even if they don't start with "MAD"
• Fixed joint saving failing if there are any unsaveable joints in the level

¤ Dolls will always save their effects layer (unless they've been set Stainless via Properties), but any other items will only save their visual effects if they've been stamped first to avoid bloating the save size ¤ If you wish not to save a very dirty, dirty, doll, simply clean it before saving (there's a power for that, Soap, or the Detail Tool) ¤¤ To be able to achieve full doll functionality and still be saveable, buffdoll bodyparts are pretending they're actually the bodyparts of a normal doll, so respawning or inspecting them will result in normal doll parts instead

Patchnotes

(In addition to the above major features.) Gameplay: Increase various value caps: - Spawn settings - Health and Max Health - Trigger Force and Range - Linear and Angular Damping Modify default doll healths to make them slightly less immediately squishy: 1800 -> 3000 Head 1200 -> 2000 Torso 600 -> 1500 Legs 600 -> 1250 Arms 600 -> 1000 Hands 600 -> 1000 Feet Add hotkey to move currently selected items by one pixel in that direction Add toggles to temporarily toggle layer visibility while making things Modify Select tool to select all jointed items when double clicking on a body Modify Detail tool and Select tool to be able to area select static items while paused Modify Delete tool hotkey quick deletion not to delete static bodies in play mode Modify Delete tool area selection to not delete static bodies (use select tool to select, and click to delete all) Modify blunt impact threshold (they now require a bit more force and velocity to deal damage) Modify velocity's effect on blunt damage by a lot (blunt hits are now more consistently dependant on mass, with velocity being a small bonus top) Modify effects layer mask to be slightly larger so it covers items properly Modify minimum spawn scale to be 1% (from 5%) Modify saving to also save 0 force and duration (radius has to be 1 minimum because math, and Detail Tool won't allow further modifying items with 0 force/duration.) Add setting Modify collisions for Max Collisions to not count static-dynamic collisions (e.g. dolls standing) Add None particle for removing existing particles via Detail tool Add console command "disablepause 0/1" to entirely disable toggling pause if you're building weird complex stuff and never want to unpause Fix some culling issues when deleting items Fix minimum or maximum-sized items not skinning properly Fix items not being able to disable their own collision events (if there are issues with items not doing their collision things, please report them in Bug Reports) Fix Camera In/Out hotkeys not breaking free from zoom snapping Fix Vanilla property not cloning properly Fix various bullets causing spawn scale issues Fix giblets not respecting blood colour Fix all levels loading as contracts after loading a contract Items: Replace various models with better optimized versions made in the latest version of MaD Lab with fancy new technology: Hedge Trimmer, Void Scythe, Stockless Assault, Anti-Air Laser, Makeshift Axe, Mongolian Helmet, Scrap Axe, Arc Storm, Auto Ripper, Desert Eagle, Marksman Rifle, Bane, Glory, Bass Cannon, Blast Pistol, Timekeeper, Soulstorm Bow, Jetpack, Acid Claw, Bandit's Blade, King Drone, Arctic Wolf, Magnum, Chaos, Tyrfing Modify icicles not to supernaturally freeze things on collision Modify Projectile Replacer to have a quite harmless default projectile so it won't cause issues if attached before shooting. Modify Projectile Replacer tooltip to make it more helpful Modify Sword Breaker not to break blunt swords Modify Poison Injector to only make bullets poisonous (previously it also made the gun poisonous) Modify Light Saber blade to work with zoom, and spawn particles Modify AP Rocket not to explode if contact is set to 0 Modify Earthsplitter camera shake duration to be shorter Modify Oil Barrel model to make it spawn more centered (doesn't affect items in existing saves) Modify Cloner (and variants) to not clone ignored items Modify Black Hole to accept negative Trigger Force values, pushing items away instead of sucking them in Modify Ammo Belt and Drum Mag to accept negative Trigger Force values, slowing down fire rate instead Modify Sprites not to despawn Modify Basket to spawn on layer 2 by default so things can be put in it more comfortably Modify Health Stimulant to go up to 99999 max health Modify Toaster, Deepfryer, and Woodchipper to be triggered on spawn Modify Deepfryer to hiss when frying Modify Observer Visor to not display ignored items' names Modify Magnet model to have a drag layer in the middle Modify Sinister Software to allow drones to target other drones when attached, and to automatically weld to any drones it touches (Speaker Drone functionality is still the same) Modify Morbow not to target or damage linked items Modify Repercutio's forcefield not to affect linked items Fix Munitions Crate layering issue (slightly affects hitbox and existing items) Fix Blood Bag healing while empty Fix Breach Shotgun projectiles passing through Crumblers (projectiles stored into Projectile Replacer in existing saves are not affected) Fix Sanitizer Bottle projectiles becoming gasoline when Projectile Replacered Fix IV Bag collider being visible Fix Surgical Helmet errant collider Fix Hazard Helmet errant layer Fix Bionic chip reanimation not applying properly on load Fix Boxing Glove launching sideways Fix Propulsor not waking up when triggered Fix magnets not waking up when they attract things Fix Magic Nail upgrades colliding with the doll that equips them, and add the armour it spawns into the Library as "Upgrade Set" Fix Door-o-Matic-linked items not clearing their collision contacts after toggling the items off Remove duplicate Skate from Library Remove duplicate Work Table from Library Move Sinister and Paranoid Software next to Speaker Drone in the Library Switch the naming scheme around for triggers and their "Stop" variants, e.g.: "Trigger" is now "Trigger Loop" (continously does something) "Trigger Stop" is now "Trigger" (does something once) Environments: Modify Environment menu UI to reduce the amount of boring text buttons: environment changing, wall toggles, and skinning have been changed into more compact icons Modify environment filler to be stainless Modify environment filler height (2000->1000) Modify Auto-Wind to respect Wind slider Modify Auto-Wind to randomly change wind direction Remove wall buttons from various environments where they don't make sense Optimize Cave environment colouring slightly Detail Tool: Add Move from Functionality to the Joints tab Modify Detail Tool not to be pick hidden items while focused on something else Modify Detail tool to automatically update the UI when more items are added to the selection Modify Detail tool and Select tool to be able to area select static items while paused Modify Detail tool skinning to redraw visual effects (they may be wildly offset or weird, skinning before stamping is much recommended) Fix detail skinning not respecting items' flip state Fix menu being extra long when minimized+maximized Fix Detail Tool clicks passing through the minimize button of menus Fix Detail tool skinning failing to generate a replacement graphic for some items Fix Blood colour not appearing in Detail tool skinning Misc: Modify the game to replace any non-existing item with a placeholder so as not to mess up any joint/link loading or body ordering Add tooltip when attempting to spawn an item that doesn't exist (please report in Bug Reports if you see any such issues that aren't caused by your own local models) Fix Drain power not respecting blood colour of dolls Refactor various bullets from contact listener to their own triggers Optimize max particle burst Respect XML Remove Resist Drain as unused (it literally did nothing) Fix window position saving causing the game to crash on launch when the monitor is removed from the computer entirely UI: Fix Spawn menu item drop detection using incorrect width (causing items not to spawn slightly rightwards of the menu) Add tooltips to various buttons Remove colour highlight from Attracting Bow in Library Modify Mjölnir to be searchable as Mjolnir Fix importing local models breaking local model management UI list Modify to also reset Blood colour Modify some console commands to close the console to indicate that things happened Add tooltip when settings are saved Fix favouriting via hotkey while dragging causing the item to drop back into the Spawn menu Modify custom item spawn image to not scale with camera Modify Library to be wider to better accommodate longer names

Known issues:

Flipping can result in the stamp being drawn upside down. Skinning via Detail tool after stamping will likely mess up the effects layer. Multi-selecting items will be weird when it comes to items with multiple incoming and outgoing links. Not all of them are visible. Single-item selections should work fine though.

Incremental loading test is now live on the Experimental branch. It's very much a work in progress, and full release will be later on, once the feature has been tested a bit more because there are so many things that will probably break. https://i.imgur.com/2V6TpQk.gif What is incremental loading? The game will spawn items across multiple frames to lessen the loading performance load. Joints and links will be loaded in a single frame afterwards. Why? More complex levels will noticeably chug, or even freeze the game, while attempting to bruteforce everything in a single frame traditionally. Plus it looks really cool while it loads. How can I test? 0) Opt-in via `` and verify your files. 1) Load all the things: Old saves, new saves, custom items, slightly moist saves, etc. 2) Report any issues, and make sure you include the save string (paste to e.g. https://pastie.io/) ---- Notes: - Reseting while loading will stop loading and reset. - Hotkeys are disabled while loading because there's a lot of ways to accidentally mess it up. - Unpausing while loading is currently possible, and custom items won't automatically pause before loading. Loading while simulating will very likely mess everything up. - Level pictured is "Traditional Japanese House" by iFancyMan

Care Package Update Out Now!

No surprise this April Fools, just much-needed supplies. 30+ medical items added under . {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/5105177b163871209473638cdc65dfc26078eeba.png

Armour

Add 100ish Winter Warmer armour items Convert existing armour pieces into armour using the autoequip system: - Update various unsymmetrical item models to make them work better when converted into armour - Duplicate all item models that were converted into armour from the Library (so old saves won't affected.) - Deprecate old armour item models from the Library, only armours will spawn from now on - Legacy models can still be spawned via Console (e.g. *hazmathelmet* vs *hazmathelmet2*) Add Bucket under (in addition to Bucket Helmet that is now armour) Add Fish Bowl under (in addition to Bowl Helmet that is now armour) Add Traffic Cone under (in addition to Cone Helmet that is now armour) Add armour icon in Spawn menu that indicates an item will automatically equip Modify Armour system to be separate from triggers (allows for much more flexible armour design, but will likely cause some issues initially, please report them via Bug Reports) Modify Armour to be re-equippable better when flipped or joint cut Modify Armour boots not to collide with static items when equipped (to allow better standing) Modify armour to resist concussions Modify armour that allows overlaps to also be able to attach after another armour piece Fix Armour Bars setting not working

UI

Add Health and Max Health sliders under when Alive property is enabled (doesn't affect dolls since they're spawned in a special way, use Detail Tool) Add new category **** and fill it with various items Fix Spawn menu minimizing and maximising not maximising it enough Fix Spawn menu prev/next buttons not respecting flip toggle Fix Static property not clearing when using Unselect All

Miscellaneous

Modify Animated items to be able to stand even if dead Modify Animate status not to heal to full Modify Island UI not to display environment options that don't work properly Fix delayed spawn not taking rotation into account properly Fix reset while spawning not reseting spawn scale Fix weld joints attaching to background when trying to reattach overlapping items Fix Saber Drone skinning not colouring the blade correctly Fix Gem Sceptre invisible layer not being invisible enough Fix Crayon description being unacceptable Fix snowman projectiles not being allowed to spawn inside items Modify Blight damage to be more consistent (random180+20 -> random100+random100+50) Modify Blighted items to spill blight randomly Modify Blight projectiles to ignore each other

Models

Modify item loading to respect concave decorative layers Modify local model loading to use graphics centroid instead of physics centroid (hopefully helping with imported item flipping)

Add multi-spawning on while an item is being spawned Add quickspawning on (opens a simplified spawn menu, focuses the search field, and spawns the item when is pressed again, for very fast item spawning.) Add "Right Mouse (Pause)" under (allows mapping separate keys to RMB for Play and Pause modes. Default is Trigger while playing, and Detail tool while paused. May require reseting your keymap.) Add Fast Motion (opposite of Slow Motion) to modifier hotkey ], default (its speed depends on the Slow Motion % setting.) Add Muted property (forces items to generate no sound effects. Global sounds such as collisions will still apply.) Add Static property in the Spawn menu (does exactly the same thing as setting %weight to 0) Add Spreading property under Triggers (variant of Transferring that also transfers itself) Increase maximum velocity setting on the physics engine's end (please report if this causes any issues on fast-moving items) Modify saving precision to be better (previously integer precision, now two decimals. Affects item position and angle.) Add "integerScaling " console command to toggle integer scaling for the session while paused (allows you to use the previous integer precision if you don't like decimals) Modify Reset to automatically select Drag tool Modify joint widths while zoomed in (thinner for general visibility) Modify pause blueprint to use selection hull instead of glow for legibility

Items:

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/6d26960163f472dfc435f29ef7a1f8b29a62c080.png Add Sentry Turret (a turret variant in collaboration with People Playground) under Add Alpha-o-Matic under (Door-o-Matic variant that only affects graphic, not collisions) Add Timer Untrigger under Add Cord Untrigger under Add Timer Order Trigger and Timer Order Untrigger under (a variant of Timer that periodically un/triggers linked items one by one in linking order) Modify Door-o-Matic to use trigger force for linked item transparency % (previously static 20%) Modify Cord Plug to also trigger other linked Cord Plugs (causing a feedback loop) Modify Cord Plug to use trigger force to set target cord's trigger duration Modify Turret's scanning beam to be skinnable and affected by trigger force Modify Smoke Grenade to spawn more persistent smoke particles Modify Phone to trigger linked items Modify various container items to spawn on layer 2 by default Modify Weld Joints to rejoint on respawn (May cause joint instability especially when cutting complex custom items. If you're having issues, see if tweaking Physics Settings helps.) Modify item maximum scale (900% -> 1000%) Modify item minimum scale (10% -> 5%) Fix fog particles not being marked unsaveable Fix Timer Switch not using its own coloured model Fix links+ignores reseting on respawn Tag Vault Gate as "door" so it's easier to find via search Rename various items for consistency, clarity, and search optimization

Dolls

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8151d381d9ebe596f240c380a1d7aee586a61e74.png Add blood colour spawn setting for dolls and items with the Alive property, and modify various features to respect blood colour better Add Armour Healthbars toggle under Modify dragging attached Armour pieces to drag the bodypart instead for joint stability Modify bodypart healthbars to be thicker (1px -> 2px) Modify total healthbar not to drop to zero when the doll's head is dead (because it was mostly confusing) Modify dolls to unequip things on concuss Modify dolls to unequip things on death (this is only checked on-damage instead of constantly for performance, so not all things cause unequip) (Settings/properties for the above might be added later.) Modify status icons for legibility Modify pause velocity to display on doll heads Modify Death (power and some items) to deal full damage instead of setting health to zero (allows various on-damage things to trigger)

Tools

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/26551316a86b68c3fd76a3c47ae599f11f1fe501.png Modify Detail Tool to be bound to while paused by default. Modify Camera Tool to be bound to by default. (You can bind them under if you prefer something else.) Add as static quickdelete hotkey (may require reseting your keymap to get it) Add quickdelete to Delete Tool by pressing hotkey twice while hovering an item (and if on top of a selected item, delete all selected items) Modify maximum zoom (500% -> 1000%) Modify camera to snap to 100% zoom more reliably Modify camera to work better when bound to mouse Modify various tool graphics to work better when zoomed Modify all selection tools to toggle selection when area selecting instead of clearing it every time (allowing modifying original selection more comfortably than clicking one by one) Fix area selection tools beginning selection when dragging sliders

Detail Tool:

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/46dbbc4e43508e5542ca0e2fe01ec3ef16ba44b4.png Add Sounds tab (allows overriding the sound effect and volume of sounds directly generated by the item. Doesn't affect global sounds, or sounds of items spawned by the item.) Add Selection tab (lists all selected items whenever more than one selected, allowing picking one of them, to help with picking overlapping items) Add Focus button under (hides and locks all unselected items) Add Back to Selection (after picking a single item from a list, returning to previous selection) Improve skinning workflow significantly Modify skinning not to require respawning the item Add Clone under (focuses all items with the same name, allowing clicking them to apply the current item's skin) Promote Custom Item button from under Functionality to the main view of the Detail Tool Add Stop Following button under Functionality when following an item with the camera Add unsaveable Locked property (makes it so the item can't be targeted, except by Detail Tool.) Add various new icons to Detail Tool Uncenter texts for legibility when combined with new icons Modify Clone to work similarly for single items as it does for multiple items (meaning joints and settings will also be cloned properly. Previously only properties were cloned.) Modify Detail Tool to be able to select two overlapping items when clicking multiple times Modify various Detail tool functionalities to work when multiple items are selected Modify title to display amount of items selected instead of "Multiple Items" Modify to be able to move already-moved items for further reordering Fix X & Y position not updating periodically like other dynamic settings Fix unticking Debug for multiple items not removing textfields properly Fix Detail Menu not opening after Effect menu was opened Rename "Respawn" as "Move to Top" (it still reapplies spawn settings just like before) Rename "Mark as Behind" as "Move to Bottom"

UI:

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/6f9ed03b928ad9270d6f25b0b4216e9a9831d85c.png Add pause settings in the toolbox for quick access (only visible while paused) Add Window Scale under (directly scales menus, open positioning and tooltips may be offset) Modify Spawn Menu prev/next buttons to display the items in question instead of boring arrows Modify Spawn Menu item preview to use vectors instead of a bitmap (better quality when scaled) Modify Spawn Menu icons, and their placements Modify Spawn Menu icons to be buttons Modify Power Menu icons to be buttons Remove redundant Power Menu prev/next buttons Modify Custom Item loading popup+tooltips for clarity Modify Custom Item icon to open Manage menu instead of Remove Modify quicksaving to say "Saved." to communicate that it did in fact do something Modify various tooltips Modify colour spectrum to be a square for more colours (previously 16:9ish) Fix spectrum rendering leaving gaps when scaling stage Modify Effect menu to display current item name in its title Rename "Vert. PingPong" as "PingPong Vert." (same for horizontal) Modify grid to draw faster (horizontal and vertical at the same time) Fix grid being clickable, eating inputs Fix grid not obeying zoom accurately enough Add Grid Size (in pixels) to pause settings Add search to power menu (so you don't have to go back to the list to search every time)

Performance

Add Anti Freeze FPS under (whenever 20-sample average fps falls below the threshold, the game will automatically pause.) Modify environment bodies to not be visible in Blueprint mode while paused for performance Modify wall graphics to be cached as bitmap since they're static Modify Physics Blood to spawn 50% of the particles as physics and rest as particles for performance (it's still unrecommended to be used overall) Optimize canvas drawing slightly

Miscellaneous

Rename "Action" to "Trigger Tool" in keymap Fix tools doing their thing when closing a menu or sliding sliders (caused click passthrough previously, potentially deleting items etc) Fix various decomposed parts being saveable (e.g. health vial) Refactor sound playing Refactor item spawning Refactor UI management Refactor particles Refactor bullets

Pumpkin Defence

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/8ac4f1b1ac8a841cbc36c3164199f2b9647152e3.png In a huge double-whammy, the Quality of Life Update also landed on Halloween, so it's accompanied by a small alien-shooting minigame narrated by the beloved, if a bit excited, Speaker Drone. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34463552/a8f877a44d5f5497a9dcee4ea9cd91deafb80343.png 1) Shoot aliens. 2) Don't let them steal your pumpkins. Easy. Or is it?

A 16:9 aspect ratio version of the game is now available on the Experimental branch. Opt-in via . Since the game was built from the ground up in 800x600 (4:3), and then updated for years after that in the same resolution and aspect ratio, various features were built specifically for that resolution. Bad practice, for sure, but those features have now been tweaked to work better in a more traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. What's still not quite traditional is the base resolution, which currently stands at 1066x600 (16:9), so as not to affect the vertical resolution which would cause further issues (that I'll be looking into next.) Note that all content created in the game is saved in absolute coordinates, so if you create content in 16:9, and load it in 4:3 it will spawn off-screen. Other than that, the horizontal resolution bump shouldn't affect most things by far, but please report any issues you may encounter following the instructions in the Bug Reports thread. TL;DR: The game is now wider.

Summer Update Out Now!

The update adds 140 new summer-themed items! ...Such as Beach Slippers, Conch, Summer Hat, Armour-Piercing Rocket Launcher, and more! Also included is the Steam Workshop (Beta) release onto the public branch, as well as various miscellaneous fixes to various miscellaneous things. Detailed Patchnotes can be found on the forums. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34463552/a09a76c6ea8d6d9309fdb14febb521b401b009e9.png Enjoy!

Very rudimentary Workshop support is now in very experimental beta stage. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34463552/ef6dee84f796d7bac4391eb5b410fb101ec2236c.png

How?

1) Install the latest version of game. 2) Paperwork You must agree to the Workshop User Agreement before sharing will work https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/workshoplegalagreement/ 3) Open Workshop - Browser: https://steamcommunity.com/app/665370/workshop/ - Steam: steam://url/SteamWorkshopPage/665370 - In-game: (which just opens the Steam link.) 4) Subscribe to Content Press the green button on thumbnails, or the button after clicking on an item. Note that managing subscriptions, voting, and analytics will be done entirely on the Workshop, and won't be added in-game so there's no need to reinvent the wheel and all. 5) Download Content In MaD2 Press The game will then query all your subscribed content via the SDK, and hopefully download it all. Note that your content is not cached locally, so this has to be done every time you run the game, but luckily the content is just text at the end of the day so it should be kilobytes in size. 6) Play For Levels, simply click to load them. For Custom Items, drag them out of the Library, or click and spawn them via the Spawn menu. 7) Submit Your MaD2 Content Custom Items Create a Custom Item via the Detail Tool (See Tutorial if you don't know how.) Submit it via Levels Save at any time via (or press to quicksave] Share it via Sharing requires previewing to ensure you're not sharing broken stuff. Note that there has to be at least three unique items in a save for it to be valid for sharing.

Gotchas

As mentioned, this is rudimentary at best. It should work, as demonstrated by the few example items already available in the workshop, but beautiful it is not. I'm using a years old AIR extension which in turn uses deprecated Steamworks SDK functions. Not the best solution, but miraculously it does work, as long as Valve doesn't decide to entirely remove the deprecated stuff. * Applying tags don't seem work with the deprecated SDK, so content titles are used to categorize things instead. Please don't remove or replace the tags manually to avoid weird things happening. * Updating submitted content is not possible yet, but might be, eventually. * There's barely any useful feedback on your actions in-game currently, it either works or doesn't. Restarting the game should something fail is probably a good bet. * Sharing and loading content obviously requires connectivity. The game will throw a (harmless) error if you try to do things in Offline mode.

Hey all. The AIR branch has been promoted to be the default branch. I haven't noticed any major issues with it myself, and haven't received any reports that would stand in the way of promoting it. For changes compared to the Flash version, see the above link. There are no new functionality changes today, as this is basically just swapping the builds around to get more people using the (what I now believe to be superior) AIR packaging. If you still want to use the Flash packaging, you can opt-in to the new Flash branch via . With the AIR packaging workshop support is looking not only possible, but promising, but it's still going to need work before I can bring in testers. ---- All in all, the branches now are as follows, in order of recommendation: Branch Description default Public default branch. (This is what you get when you download the game normally, packaged using Adobe AIR.) flash Opt-in to play using Flash packaging. (The original Flash packaging, in case you have issues with AIR.) rollback Opt-in to play last major version. (Whenever an update is released, the previous build will be available here in case of issues.) air_test (Promoted to default branch, and as such deleted.) ---- Edit: Looks like the AIR save directory is different from the Flash one, you should be able to move your save files between the two as follows: 1) Copy all .sol files from the Flash folder: %appdata%/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/ --> /localhost/#orava/mutilate 2) Launch the AIR version and change any setting to ensure the save folder is created. 3) Paste the copied files into the AIR folder: %appdata%/games.rava.mutilate/LocalStore/#SharedObjects/#Orava/Mutilate

I've made an experimental branch of the game available. Content-wise it's identical, but the game is packaged using Adobe AIR as opposed to wrapped Flash Player (FP.) Using AIR leads to some improvements since it allows using some native functionality, but since it may also brick things I'm making it a separate branch for now. It may be promoted to the main branch eventually once things are more thoroughly tested. Using AIR would also allow adding native extensions, including a wrapper to communicate with the Steamworks SDK, hopefully allowing some form of Workshop support. More specific info about the branch and opt-in instructions can be found in the Discussions.

The game is out now! Make sure to check out the FAQ for more info about the game. The game itself is great (in my biased opinion), but I wanted to give everyone a fair heads up for transparency. I hope you can enjoy the game despite the below: Before getting all excited about the game, here are some facts to consider:

MaD2 is an established Flash game. It's being released wrapped into an .exe due to browser Flash being phased out. It runs via included Flash Player when launched.

The resolution is 800x600 (4:3), though it can be upscaled at the cost of performance.

The game is locked to 60fps, which should be reachable with a decent system, but the performance is inherently not amazing due to being software-accelerated.

There is no workshop/achievements/etc as there's no official Steamworks SDK for Flash. I've also included this disclaimer on the Store page for transparency, even at the cost of sales, so as not to make anyone feel in any way deceived. -rava
