v20.0.2

waiter! waiter! more rules please!!

• Added new conditions: "Every X Seconds", "Stunned Someone", "Harmed Someone", "Killed Someone", "Froze Someone", "Used Powerup Ability".
• Added new actions: "Explode Level", "Play Jingle".
• Added "All terrain is bricks" special effect. Also, made it so the "No coins" effect also removed coins in blocks.
• Triggers now have more parameters to customize their behaviour!
  • Constraints: it's like a second condition that needs to be true while the rule activates. For example, a person having a certain amount of stars, or the timer being above or below a specific value. You can also create custom targets this way, i.e. to affect anyone that's a certain powerup state, or only those who are frozen.
  • Action delay: wait before the trigger activates.
  • Repeat count: no more duplicates... use this to run the action multiple times at once.
  • Random chance: add uncertainty to your triggers...
  • Tip: hover over certain buttons to get an explanation of what each feature does...!
• New rule: "score"! This is a brand new counter that does nothing at first, but can be controlled exhaustively using triggers. Create custom timers, variables, or player stats!
• A customizable description field for your room. As host, you can write here an explanation of your ruleset for everyone (including those outside the room) to see and understand.
• Added an option to hide player names, or to show everyone else's coin count (HUD Elements).

---

• Added a "Give Up" option in the pause menu.
• Certain replay QoL additions!

  • You can zoom even while spectating a player.
  • The replay controls hide on their own when you stop moving the mouse (like on YT).
• Added new songs for VS maps! Volcano, underground, alternate versus.
• Added a few extra colour palettes.

v20.0.1

Enough dilly dally. The newest vcmi ever is finally out.

And it's been entirely ported to 2.0, from scratch.

So many new things! Everything works so much better now! No host-only rules, no missed conditions, no desyncs! All the custom content is still here!

2.0

• This version of vcmi is based on vanilla v2.0.3.0, as denoted by the jump from v17.0.11 to v20.0.1.
• The update took long? Yeah, good observation. Turns out porting mods to 2.0 is tough! Plus, there was a ton of content to reimplement from scratch... Not to worry, it's finally here, and now future updates will bring even newer content, faster!
• Of course, all the goodies vanilla has brought are present here too. Notably:
  • Better networking. Rules will not desync now, and will trigger accurately.
  • Accuracy improvements (visuals and physics).
  • Replays.
  • Better settings menu.
  • Coin runners, teams, hammer suit, swimming, etc.

What's still here?

I've kept all the important features you've been enjoying so far.

• Triggers (16 conditions, 23 action rules), 9 special effects, all powerup chances.
• 10 total characters.
• Race maps with NSMB original stages, checkpoints, end goals, and laps.
• Speedrun timer.
• Stars and Coins for powerup can be disabled.
• The UI is still fairly similar, to aid with familiarity.
• Emotes in chat (Discord style) and in game (press a number to taunt).
• A functional Android build with on-screen controls.
• HQ dynamic songs in-game.

New things...

• Super flexible "Triggers" system. It's now easiest than ever to create custom gamemodes!
  • Choose a condition (what will activate the trigger), and an action (what will happen). For example, if someone grabs a coin, make them lose a life!
  • You can now choose the target player for the triggers. For example, limit a rule's influence on a team only, for team-based gamemodes!
  • Many more parameters for certain rules. For example, the Give Powerup action can now be assigned an exact powerup, unlike in old versions where it was always random.
  • Rules can be edited in-place without needing to delete and readd them.
• There are now 32 race maps, from various NSMB worlds.
• A more fun character select screen, with real time previews.
• The limit for Stars, Coins, Laps, Lives, and Timer has been increased to 1000.
• You can now save your favourite rulesets and load them back in easily, or share them with others. All properties are taken into cosnideration.
• Add or remove gizmos to the minimap. For example, hide players, hide stars, show a certain team, follow the host...
• The web build now has music.
• Enemies don't run off edges when offscreen, and return home when you get close to them.
• Guys did i forget anything?

So yeah, now I can sleep in peace. What a weird feeling, it's been a year without an update so now I feel strange saying that it's... done. So many hiatuses, procrastination days, redoing ports. Now it's time to enjoy. Goodbye... forever.
Nah jk I'm still here. Ok, go play this mod, if you want. Thank you everyone for your time and support!
