- Healing rate is always the same, regardless of environment.
- Remove visible damage from player.
Lasting injury has just never really been a major gameplay
factor, and making players wait to heal under certain
circumstances did not feel like it made gameplay "better" in
any way.
Now, if you get hurt, you drop your stuff, and have to wait a
MINIMAL amount of time before you can pick it up again.
Similarly, with visible inventory, the damage textures are
redundant, and with the gameplay importance of injury being
so diminished, they were visual overkill.
- Collapse all nodecore "core" mods in the /mods listing, so it's
easier to find the actual add-on mods.
- Parameterize in-game branding to make renaming derivatives just
a little easier.
- Eliminate health and breath stat bars.
- Players NO LONGER DIE FROM INJURY.
- Players no longer lose walking speed or mobility.
- Players lose inventory slots in proportion to injury; they're
stuffed with an "injury" item, and items they displace are
ejected. Slots are displaced in random order.
- Healing rate is much faster, so players are usually mildly
inconvenienced by injury, but can soon enough pick up their
stuff and leave.
- Health and breath HUDs are gone. Health is visible based on
number of lost slots, and breath uses a vignette to narrow
tunnel vision for O2 loss.
Overall, the old health system has been more of an immersion-
breaking annoyance than anything. This allows health to get out
of the way of the primary gameplay.
UNFINISHED: Need a replacement for the old "suicide to get unstuck"
mechanic.
