November 2024 Monthly Summary (2024-11) for Simple-Station/Einstein-Engines and Goob-Station/Goob-Station. Key features delivered: - Surgery Step/Progress Popups: Implemented real-time procedure popups visible to nearby players with ongoing procedure and target body part; updates to surgery system and localization strings. Refs/Commits: Einstein-Engines: bb13e394b0360d39619645b3134df71387ffba32; Goob-Station (EE Port): 2867810a5bdde2be3f85e2949de2be3f7c3cc8de. - Damage system enhancements: Added stamina costs and checks for power attacks (consumes stamina even on miss, blocks if stamina too low); removed stamina damage visuals; enhanced Oni damage examination to show bonus damage when melee damage is examined, integrated with item examination. Refs: Einstein-Engines: 709001726f0ee8f680089b162ecaac84f31505ff; 613e7937392d5d4fd9bf906f571adc237c706367. - Chat UI improvements: Re-enabled language-specific fonts/colors for chat and radios; overhauled chat formatting for language-based communication with proper color and font in chat bubbles and prefixes. Refs: Einstein-Engines: 1a9763528a9b15f11f474a2fa7ecfdde98aa9a15. Major bugs fixed: - Client health examination crash: Fixed client-side crash when players with Self-Aware trait examine health by ensuring client data is synchronized from server via AutoNetworkedField. Ref: aec89a56d6406264fc64275bbedeae2ada34ae08. - Damage type spelling: Corrected spelling from Pierce to Piercing across severing damage types and weapon damage definitions. Ref: 992b2e486855cea6646cf5d4af51ca8cbf61b29d. - Goob-Port: Align damage terminology by changing Pierce to Piercing in the port as part of the Goob-Station work. Ref: 11c0d2b554158a88eb5f30f3a3e6e3e63da71d15. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Stabilized core combat and health inspection flows, reducing runtime crashes and increasing player trust in health data visibility. - Improved player guidance during surgical procedures with real-time popups and localized text, reducing errors and training time. - Enhanced user experience for multilingual players through consistent fonts/colors and readable chat formatting. - Achieved cross-repo consistency in terminology (Piercing) and UI behavior, facilitating future QA and feature integration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Client-server synchronization (AutoNetworkedField), real-time UI updates, and localization. - Combat mechanic tuning (stamina-based power attacks) and integrated UI feedback. - Code hygiene and terminology consistency across repos (Goob-Station and Einstein-Engines).
