BFP v0.6.9 changelog

Quite a big changelog for this one. But first, an update about the recording feature. It's work in progress, but it will be slow going, and comes with its own set of complications. I was hoping it could be used for all debugging purposes, and it can, but only up to a point, so I will need to get back to the original idea of implementing a debug log that can be sent to me.

Alright, back to the changelog. I'll split it into a bunch of sections, for clarity:

• Arena / stages:

  • Major refactoring for the arena management, unifying ingame and gallery modes to avoiding duplications

  • Animated content support for arenas (check out the Hell and the Jungle arenas)

  • Added Jungle arena (this one might be pretty heavy on slower machines / devices)

  • Added Lounge arena (probably a bit heavier as well)

  • Revamped Day/Night arenas, renamed to Desert (day) / Desert (night)

  • Revamped Hell arena (animated lava flow, fixed texture UV mapping, cosmetics)

  • Revamped Boxing ring (added context, cosmetic changes)

• Animations:

  • Added 4 kissing animations as part of various actions

• Characters and clothing:

  • Fully fixed all weight painting issues causing jagged edges on clothing and other weirdness (body creases / jaggedness for certain positions). FINALLY!

  • Subtle improvements to all character nose and mouth area (you might need to slightly re-adjust some noses for your saved characters). The mouth is now closed properly during the rest pose

  • Improvements to hair weight painting. A lot less long hair clipping through the body as a result

  • Small improvements and fixes for clothing (less creases, added edges where edges should be)

  • Longer tails are less static (wouldn't call them animated, but at least they're not made of reinforced concrete anymore)

  • Added a new pair of antlers

• Gameplay:

  • Option to disable the more violent fighting moves before the match (underneath the arena selector)

  • Added more keys that can be used for controlling the camera (for laptops where no keypad is available): J / L pan left / right, I / K pan up / down, O / U zoom in / out, 0 to reset camera / switch to the next camera profile

• Android:

  • Added lower resolution support for Android, to improve performance on older devices. Available under Options

• Misc:

  • Added Fps option to show FPS counter (under Options)

  • Other fixes and under the hood improvements
