Survival Test 2: Mobs & Music!

[IridescentRose]

Overview

Survival Test 2 is a rather large update for CrossCraft, including all Survival Test mob models, textures, arrows, a revamped resource pack system, and our very own soundtrack courtesy of @Średni Tonek. This update sets the baseline for future expansions such as Survival Test 3!

Installation Notes

PC: Requires OpenGL 4.0+
PS Vita: Please install libshacccg.suprx.
It is recommended that you also copy the CrossCraft-ST folder in the release artifact to the ux0:/data/ folder or else you may face VERY long loading times from the auto-extractor.

Additions

• Mobs were added
  • Zombie
  • Skeleton
  • Creeper
  • Spider
  • Pig
  • Sheep
  • Steve
  • Armor Model
• A mob modeling system was created.
  • This system uses YAML and makes the creation of mob models incredibly simple.
  • Individual mobs take 10-30 minutes to add to the game now.
• All mobs are animated when they move with vanilla-esque animation sequences
• All mobs have AI
  • The Hostile AI will track you from range and chase you down across terrain.
  • The Passive AI will walk randomly. On direction switch there is no smooth animation, so they will appear to "flip"
• The player now has a view hand and swing animations
  • The view hand will react to custom skins appropriately
• Fall Damage is implemented
  • One block of water will break your fall, but be careful!
• Arrows were added and can be fired using TAB (PC) or SELECT (PSP / PSV)
  • Arrows have physics and have a skeleton shot variant (original purple arrows)
  • Arrows can be picked up once shot
• Music System
  • Title selects a random song to play.
  • Song persists to game.
  • Next song is chosen in 7-13 minute intervals.
• Resource Packs
  • Use a similar structure to existing MC resource packs (should be cross compatible)
  • Texturepacks are automatically attempted to convert to the new format if you have them (this may be buggy!)
  • Resource Packs are automatically extracted on Vita and PSP
    • PS Vita default resource pack extraction may take a long time (10+ minutes)
    • It's HIGHLY recommended that you copy the CrossCraft-ST folder in the release artifact to your ux0:/data/ folder

Changes

• The sky has been updated to appear more faithful to Minecraft Classic -- this is a toggleable setting in config.cfg
• Entities were changed again to have a MobManager class. This MobManager class handles almost all of the mobs.
• Mobs behavior defined by polymorphism
• Clouds were changed on all platforms to use a different scrolling method
• OpenAL is now bundled with Windows Builds

Bug Fixes

• Audio Glitches no longer appear on PSP
• Player Held Items are saved (Save Version 5)

Known issues:

• PSP suspend & restart causes audio to stop working
