Hi, Toribash 5.5 is now out of beta and available for everyone!
What is new in Toribash 5.5:
New type of grabs - rotatable and can be broken Grip mode can be changed via gamerules menu (CTRL + G). Manual commands are /set grabmode and /set tearthreshold.
New grabs allow rotating whatever you're grabbing compared to fixed default grabs
Tear threshold is used to determine how much force is required to break the grab (0 is disabled)
Grab breaking depends on force direction - it's easier to break a grab when you're pulling something away and almost impossible when pushing
Advanced ghost with customizable speed and length Ghost settings can be modified in gamerules menu. Manual commands are /set ghostspeed and /set ghostlength. To revert back to default ghost, use /set ghostcustom 0.
Ghost speed can be set from 0.1x to 5x
Ghost length can be set from 10 to 500 frames
Using new grabs or ghosts in multiplayer will make the room unavailable for players on older versions of Toribash.
New gamerules menu
Only relevant settings are displayed (e.g. grab mode is only displayed when grabs toggle is checked)
Some setting names have been updated to be easier to understand
Settings that only allow specific values are now displayed as dropdowns or sliders
New flame forger (CTRL + L)
Preview up to 5 flames at once
General flame forging prices have been lowered and now depend on more flame parameters (meaning simple flames will be even cheaper)
New "relative gravity" setting to apply gravity relatively to bodypart your flame is linked to
If you already have flames equipped, they'll be initially loaded in forger with proper settings
Ability to forge flames directly from game client
Ability to save flames for future spawning
Ability to minimize flame forger without unloading flames (ctrl + shift + L)
New flame browser (access via flame forger)
View any existing flame by its ID
View general info about the flame - who and when forged it, how much did it cost, who currently owns it
Search for flames by their name / forger / current owner
Other minor updates
Multi-key search in replays menu
Updated visuals on error messages
New "/set curtf" command to modify current fight's turn frames while in single player
High DPI mode for Apple devices (requires Retina screen) - can be toggled from Graphics tab in Settings
Minimum screen resolution has been increased to 768x480
Allow loading mods without specifying .tbm at the end
Downloads should now be faster
Bug fixes
Fixed win points not counting damage dealt from dismembers or fractures
Fixed damage threshold not scaling on heavy hits
Fixed joint position sometimes being displayed at a wrong position when it's linked to a rotated bodypart
Fixed a bug that could cause crashes when loading a mod with a motd
Merry Christmas and happy 'bashing!
