Mapvote 2.0
Hello everyone, it is my pleasure to announce the release of Mapvote 2.0! Mapvote 2.0 is a UI overhaul and optimization of the map voting system, along with some changes to how often a map appears.
So without further ado, let's get into the update notes.
User Interface
- The total amount of maps in the voting list is now 25. (Down from 27)
- Maps are now initially displayed in a 5x5 grid.
- After 10 seconds, the bottom 16 maps are eliminated and the remaining are displayed in a 3x3 grid.
- Improvements have been made to font scaling and font scrolling (for the really long map names).
- The random map choice will appear in the center of both the 5x5 and the 3x3 grid.
- A "hidden" phase is enacted for the first 10 seconds of a vote. No one will be able to see each others' votes during this time.
- After the hidden phase ends, votes will be revealed and the aforementioned map elimination will occur.
- Players will be warned in chat and on-screen if their map choice was removed.
- Battleship-style grid markers have been added to help users dictate to each other their desired map choice. (e.g. "A1", "D4")
- Map suffixes (_ahg, _v3 _b5, etc.) have been removed for clarity.
- Fixed an issue where player avatars become very large above a certain voting threshold.
- A red border is now added to the map that you choose.
Maps that win the vote are now put on a 16-turn cooldown. The random map choice can't be locked and will not choose a locked map. This should help break the cycle of the same five maps.
UI Updates
With the addition of the updated !spray menu, you got a sneak peek into what the new UI direction is for AHG. I've gone ahead and updated some of the other menus that you interact with. The two main updates are to the Rules/MOTD menu and the Pointshop UI.
Rules/MOTD
- The Rules/MOTD menu now uses the new button design with a blue primary accent and ripple when clicked.
- For those who still use the 32bit non-Chromium branch of Garry's Mod, the rendering of the rules page has been made slightly better (we can only do so much with Awesomium since it's a 7 - 10 year old web render.)
- The Rules/MOTD can now also be accessed with !rules in the chat.
Pointshop
- The Pointshop navigation bar now also features the new buttons with a ripple effect.
- Weapons and Skins tab now follow near the same format for showing weapons and button actions.
- The Accessories and Playermodels tab now have each item as a card. When you click on an item, it will appear on the right side. You can buy, sell, and modify the color of your playermodel.
- The Playermodels tab will now show a preview of the color you have chosen for playerrmodels that have customizable colors.
- When clicking on a weapon skin in the Skins tab, a new "slam-in" animation is used and the preview no longer takes up the entirety of your screen.
- The Loadout and Lottery tab have had their buttons updated to the new button style. Sub-actions like adding tickets to your cart are a light shade of blue with the primary action of buying tickets being a bright blue.
- Dialog popups now follow our new UI design and will fade in and fade out with ripple buttons.
- When buying/selling items and tickets, it will confirm the price in the dialog popup.
- Fixed a bug where people with smaller screen resolutions were not able to select the Loadout tab (Thanks @Jay but High AF.)
With all the changes, there have also been some optimizations made when the pointshop is open. Data that didn't need to be refreshed or calculated every frame such as the buy/sell price of items and their name will now only be calculated upon switching to the tab. The "Give Points" button still remains at the bottom. This will be moved to a better place later. The Skins tab will later be updated to only show each weapon once and upon clicking will display all available skins in rank-specific order, though this requires more development time and review.
Prop Punch Removal
As announced in the reveal post of TTT v1.0, the decision has been made to remove the prop punch upgrade. This upgrade would increase the recharge rate of your punch-o-meter (the prop possession stamina) by 15% at each level. However unfortunately due to the increase in spectator-related interference with players who are living, the item has been removed from everyone's inventory. Each player has been reimbursed in accordance with what level they had the upgrade on. Please refer to the table below for the points you should have received.
Code:
Level 1: 2,000
Level 2: 4,000
Level 3: 7,000
Level 4: 12,000
Level 5: 20,000The punch-o-meter will now recharge at the same rate for all players, which is 1 movement/second. Prop possession still remains, though nerfed slightly and more for fun and less for round interference.
