Updating Engine to 2024.4

When a troop is spawned but instance_destroy is performed, they make a sound, which is a problem if a lot of troops are spawned which creates a loud death sound noise.

Stats screen should get a code refactor to make it easier to add new stats to the screen and to calculate stats easier

Currently, Steam achievements are always on English. This can be addressed to support at least same languages as in the game.

Example:

Removing deprecated code for discord rich presence which didn't work

Add serbian Cyrillic as it's own seperate language with language id 17, it's easity to implement by just turning latin letters into cyrillic letters

Challenges deserve a code-refactor. Issue is that they are way too hardcoded in a way how they are. Music play is hardcoded, end reward is hardcoded etc. All needs to be fixed in order for custom challenges to be possible

The idea is to have every object in level editor become manually editable.

Example, cannons currently shoot at the same exact speed, what if you were able to change the cannon's shooting speed in menu? Or scale objects like blocks to become half-block slabs? Or increase spike size?

In order for this to work, the way how the Level Editor saves and loads JSON files needs to be addressed first.

Make it able so that players can put water/lava again

I've tried to extract my native language as a standalone (#54) but I wasn't sure which and how many files I need to change in order to fully support new language.
It would be great to add some readme file which will specify all the steps for supporting new language.

Local Multiplayer co-op is a feature where players from 2 to 4 can pick any level/challenge and start playing together.

Some facts need to be kept in mind:

• Starting locations for players need to differ as players have their own collisions in Local Multiplayer
• One player is required to complete the level to continue
• Picked up items can respawn after 1 second after being picked up, this is to prevent softlocking other players. Exceptions are items like coins or keys to open the door.

Tagging all levels so that it's easier to categorize them and search them

Currently, Steam text on the Store page is always on English. This can be addressed to support at least same languages as in the game.

Example:

Dynamic Daily Quests would be in place where the player has to do certain tasks in order to gain credits. The player can beat 3 quests per day, they rotate differently and the player gets a big reward once completing each quest.

I'm also thinking to make it possible to customize quests, as each quest would have it's own weight value as a chance of how likely they are to appear, and their reward would also be customized

• Beat X Levels
• Beat X Endless Run Levels
• Beat a Daily Level (Boolean)
• Beat a Calendar Week (Boolean/Rare)
• Beat a Boss (Boolean)
• Beat a [X] Difficulty Challenge
• Beat X Workshop Levels
• Skin the wheel (Boolean)
• Jump X times
• Die X times
• Change color X times
• Shoot troops X times
• Play for X amount of time
• Find a golden spike (Boolean/Rare)

If a player beats a quest that is too easy to beat but gives over 500 credits, the game will enable global.cheats = 1

This is to prevent situations if people accidently add quests that reward them for little effort then it would not account for new change of credits, just requesting them a bit more effort if they wanted to cheat

• Cheats can be always available to use by the player at any time instead of being just available when the player completes the game
• Make the debug only appear if cheats are on (So if cheats are on, you can use F3)

• Make a level select where you can choose any level in level select
• Make code 'Not' awful (it's too hardcoded in r_levelselectmenu)

I need to comment code to clarify what's going on and it's purpose in most scripts/objects.

• Add CONTRIBUTING.md
• Comment most of the code
• Make a pleasant standardized coding style so people can read code

• Making it possible to post challenges on steam workshop, people can either make challenges from other people or from their own levels.

Rules on workshop challenges:

• Levels must be already on workshop and must be subscribed by the user.
• The user can then choose any amount of subscribed levels
• The user can only provide an title to the challenge, as workshop level diamond time and difficulty is defined.
• Workshop challenge diamond time is summed by every level time
• Workshop challenge difficulty is an average to all workshop levels in that challenge
• For the workshop challenge to be uploaded, the player has to beat the challenge, the player isn't required to get diamond time.

Yellow, Blue and white color pickups don't have an animation in game but others do

Special Levels are supposed to be 200 altered levels from the main campaign and challenges, giving back to people who have purchased the 2, 3 and 5 euro donation DLCs. Each euro would equal to 20 levels, thus 200 in total.

Levels would show up in endless run for everyone while the special levels campaign is only available to people depending on how much they donated

Trade ups are combining skins for a higher tier, or using a higher tier to turn them into lower tiers.

• Having 5 skins of a lower tier can be converted into 1 higher tier
• Having 1 skin of a higher tier can be converted to 3 random lower tier

Colorblind options have been restricted for quite a while, I need to bring back the following

• Deuteranopia
• Protanopia
• Tritanopia
• Grayscale (Not a colorblind option but it was included)

Screenshots were taken in 2021 before the early access of the game. They should be retaken as the large chunk of the game was redone

The code is too shit, CHANGE IT ALL

Slopes make it possible for the player to go upwards or downwards without jumping, there are all 5 colored variants of the slope and it can be rotated by 90 degrees.

For slopes to be possible, player code needs to be changed

Settings menu should be remade.

All buttons are no longer sprites, but instead are just similar to buttons.

• Settings Button spawning should be controlled through code
• Remade settings buttons are no longer sprites and should be made through code
• Remade Boolean (yes/no) settings button, sometimes with multiple option it would show the ~ icon
• Remade Sliders (for volume)

The buttons would not be unique and would work under the same codebase.
Also, when in pause menu, each button will not be individually created

Badges are displayed in o_version in the draw event and the code is horrendous, need to code-refactor it inside a function so it works better and also to have badges sorted well

It would be nice to have splash text to be loaded in .txt

This would unfortunately ruin two achievements "It happened", "Cookie Clicker" and "Jebaited" but I can replace them later
This will also ruin all of the event splashes, but I think that I'll make seperate txt files to fix that

Further code refactoring in skin menu:

• Being able to hold left or right for navigation
• Holding shift while navigating lets the player navigate quicker through pages
• Selecting custom hats should appear in the skin menu and on the side while selecting custom hats
• #47
• Skin selection and hat selection sprites shouldn't be hardcoded and should display a correct skin/hat depending on the button

Clicking any icons that leads to a browser multiple times will bring multiple confirmations.

Add portuguese hat in hat merchant shop

The level is too hard for a 4 star difficulty challenge

Auto-set a language for users who live in other regions

Improve the look of the repository's readme to be more welcoming and nicer to look at.

Custom Challenges are loaded from the game files instead of being built in into the game. These can be later used so that people can make workshop content or for future DLCs

Skin masteries check if you have an item in your inventory, if you have a specific quality of skin, it will change its border

Keybinds are a thing that can be customized, but what about the controller? The player can assign any controller button to any existing input:

• Right Key
• Left Key
• Jump
• Interact
• Skip level
• Restart

Badge for the "SOST" DLC will replace the regular OST badge

Currently you have to click on the sides of the quests screen to leave or press any button, it's a bit inconsistent and I think adding an X button would help a lot

The game loads levels from files differently, challenges are loaded differently, level editor and workshop levels. This needs to be ran on a global function

Each boss in the game should have a health bar (but perhaps change how they lose health because the code is attrotious)

• Hotdog Boss Healthbar
• Hammer Boss Healthbar
• Piano Boss Healthbar
• Lava Boss Healthbar
• King Boss Healthbar

Currently, Steam description on the Store page is always on English. This can be addressed to support at least same languages as in the game.

Example:

Custom Skins can be loaded from the game's %appdata% files, similar to hats

In order to manage live releases easily, we should try to incorporate releases on GitHub which will be in sync with Steam releases.

Commentary Mode lets people see the development process of the game from 2018 up to release, as well as interesting facts for each version of the game.
This is planned to be it's own menu for the player to see and read. There would be images (or videos) showing the process.

o_skinselectbox should be code-refactored so it isn't hardcoded and should always select skin/hat/item

TCC Store is currently missing all of the skins + graphics for the skins. The functionality to obtain them in game still works but they dont exist in the item pool and it is impossible to purchase them.

Local Multiplayer Customization is a mess and hardcoded, as well as choosing controls.
New skins/hats/items should be dynamically added in the menu when a new skin is added

• Code-Refactor hats in Local Multiplayer
• Code-Refactor items in Local Multiplayer
• Code-Refactor controls in Local Multiplayer
