Feb 1, 2025February 2025 – Facepunch/sbox-scenestaging: Delivered a robust Physics Grabbing System Overhaul and removed legacy IES parsing, resulting in more reliable physics-based object interaction and a leaner asset pipeline. Implemented a fixed-timestep grabbing workflow and a new PhysicsGrabber component to enable stable manipulation of physics objects via a fixed joint, plus an example component to demonstrate the pattern. Deprecated IES parsing by removing IESTextureGenerator, replacing IES data with image-based representations to reduce runtime errors and simplify rendering pipelines.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (Facepunch/sbox-scenestaging) focused on stabilizing gameplay physics and improving developer ergonomics. Key changes include reverting a prior PlayerSquish collision fix and updating GameObject destruction so only the specific GameObject is destroyed (instead of the parent), preserving gameplay stability (commit 733c911a5289af14e67d4d054e83863f352578e0). In parallel, the codebase was reorganized by renaming the root directory from 'code' to 'Code' to improve navigation and consistency across the repository (commit 7c1ef711128143952938164c297c264f7e12d877). Impact: Maintained stable player physics, reduced risk from the previous fix, and improved maintainability and onboarding through clearer project structure. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Unity-like physics configuration, precise version-control discipline, and effective codebase refactoring with attention to naming conventions.

Dec 1, 2024Month: 2024-12 — Performance-review-ready summary of key outcomes for Facepunch/sbox-scenestaging. The month focused on delivering core platform improvements: editor-centric ragdoll modernization, codebase transform and API modernization, and scene rendering refinements, with emphasis on reliability, maintainability, and rendering fidelity. Key features delivered: - Ragdoll System Modernization and Editor UX: Consolidated ragdoll into modular components; added editor posing, visibility controls, idle sleep startup, and automatic population of render/model components; improved creation and visibility logic along with editor protections; ragdoll components marked NotEditable in editor; auto-population of renderer/model on awake; rebuild ragdoll if bones change (model reload). - Codebase Transform and API Modernization: Standardized WorldTransform/LocalTransform usage and updated obsolete API patterns for buffers, network attributes, and lobby defaults to improve consistency and future-proofing. - Scene Rendering and Visuals Refinements: Visual and rendering refinements across scenes, including trails visuals and more realistic water test scaling (large plane for water). Major bugs fixed: - Stabilized ragdoll creation and posing in the editor; ensured ragdoll bodies are created at the saved object transform unless the bone is newly created; fixed initialization order so sleeping behavior aligns with first update; ensured ragdoll renderer/model auto-population when none are set; reinforced rebuild on bone changes to maintain consistency after model reload. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved editor workflows for complex ragdoll scenarios, reducing setup time and edge-case failures; reduced technical debt through codebase modernization; enhanced rendering fidelity and QA reliability; positioned the codebase for safer addition of future features. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C#, component-based architecture, editor tooling, WorldTransform/LocalTransform usage, rendering pipeline refinements, and modernization patterns for buffers, network attributes, and lobby defaults.
