Decimation, alive again in singleplayer

Singleplayer fixes and world generation for Decimation (Forge 1.7.10). One jar with everything.

Website with the install guide and the server guide: https://deciremnant.vercel.app/

Install

• On 0.64.7 or 0.64.8: click Update in the main menu, wait for "Complete!", then Quit game (start the game again from your launcher) or Later (the update is put in place when you close the game).
• On 0.59.0 to 0.64.6, or a new install: replace mods/Decimation.jar with this Decimation.jar (remove any deciworldgen-*.jar too). The updater of those versions cannot find its own jar, so install by hand once.

Changes since 0.64.8

This release is about performance and stability.

Smoother play

• New city land generates about twice as fast. The short freezes when you walk or fly into a new part of a city are about half as long: the longest we measured fell from about 470 to about 210 milliseconds. Land that was already generated stays as it is.
• NPCs are drawn much faster: each look is drawn from one picture instead of seven layers, and guns and gear are drawn in one go. Armed NPCs take about half the drawing time, which helps most in fights and camps.
• Safezones and crowds: traders, guards, bandits and mechs no longer search for targets every tick, and NPCs no longer check every loaded creature every tick.
• The intro screen no longer keeps a processor core busy for the whole session, and the game stopped checking BoehMod's closed version server.
• Radios and other looping prop sounds stop when you are out of hearing (at most 6 play at once).
• Blood splats stop moving once they land, and infected no longer plan wander paths nobody walks.
• Decimation's melee weapons, throwables and name tags no longer cause thousands of OpenGL "Stack overflow" errors in a session.
• With the intro, sound and version check fixes above, the frame rate held steady in our long play sessions instead of falling minute by minute.

Fixes

• A muzzle flash no longer lights up every mob drawn after the shooter.
• NPCs with night vision goggles no longer have a dark vest and backpack, and their gear now covers their hair and beard.
• Scopes work with OptiFine: the gun stays visible while aiming, and a scope at the hip shows a plain lens, not a frozen picture.
• The hand holding a gun shows your own skin, not Steve's.
• Your last grenade, molotov or smoke grenade no longer stays in your hand forever.
• Corpses open with a right click while you hold a gun.
• Place names show again after you rejoin a world.
• No crash of the HUD when a world is joined without passing Decimation's menu.
• /gamerule doMobSpawning false also stops our NPC spawners.
• The update screen's bar fills to the end.
• The Continue button's tooltip reads "Last played: (your world)".

• On 0.59.0 to 0.64.6, or a new install: replace mods/Decimation.jar with this Decimation.jar (remove any deciworldgen-*.jar too). The updater of those versions cannot find its own jar, so install by hand once.

Changes since 0.64.7

• The update screen reads like Decimation's own did: the version and its size, "Downloading: 33%" then "Complete!", and the downloaded size before the total.

Install (once)

1. Remove any deciworldgen-*.jar from your instance's mods/ folder.
2. Replace mods/Decimation.jar with this Decimation.jar.
3. Start the game.

On 0.59.0 to 0.64.6: install this version by hand once. The in-game updater of those versions cannot find its own jar and stops with "this game does not run from a jar (dev folder)". From 0.64.7 on, the menu's Update button works: it downloads the next version, then Quit game (start the game again from your launcher) or Later (the update is put in place when you close the game).

Changes since 0.64.6

• The in-game update finds the game's own jar, so updating from the menu works from now on.
• The update runs on Decimation's own update screen: progress bar, file size, "DO NOT CLOSE YOUR GAME!" while it downloads, then Quit game or Later.
• Our DeciRemnant logo in the menus, where the DECIMATION lettering was.
• Pop up messages carry the title DeciRemnant, and the Server Status page's Website row checks our website.

Already on 0.59.0 or newer: the menu button says Update. Click it, wait for the download, then choose Quit game (start the game again from your launcher) or Later (the update is put in place when you close the game).

Create a new world with the world type "Decimation" to get the newest cities: city sizes, airports, wasteland gates and refuges only appear in worlds made with this version.

Changes since 0.59.0

• Cities of 4 to 64 districts, with refuges spread through the big ones (new worlds).
• Wasteland gates in the inner fence: most are shut (wire and landmines, steel, a bus, HESCO), a few are broken open; T junctions where city streets end.
• Military airports in wasteland cities: runway, taxiway, hangars, tower, fighters, revetments, armory, fire station, radar and a garrison (new worlds).
• NPC tracers stop where the shot stopped, so they no longer fly through buildings.
• No more connection attempts to BoehMod's closed network (a background thread leaked every 15 seconds).
• The world clock's day counter keeps counting after Decimation's daily time reset.
• The update check survives GitHub's rate limit.
• Main menu: our news panels (GitHub, Updates, Website, Coming soon), real scenes of our world as the background, a new one every 7 seconds, our name and version, Website and GitHub links, a Continue button that opens the world you played last.
• Server pages: Bukovka and Chernarus are coming soon, Players Online says coming soon, Server Status lists Global Server, Community Server and Download (offline for now), and My Supporter is now Early access.
• Bloaters, hulks, mechs and frails that Decimation swaps in while a chunk loads no longer move and attack at double speed (they were added to the world twice).
• Airport and bunker garrisons: every post gets its guard, also posts far from where you arrive, and guards stay at their posts and walk back to them after a fight.
• The wasteland checkpoint gate closed with HESCO can no longer be climbed over.

From this version on, updates come in the game: when a newer release exists, the menu button says Update instead of Play. Click it, wait for the download, then choose Quit game (start the game again from your launcher) or Later (the update is put in place when you close the game).

Create a new world with the world type "Decimation" to get the cities and the newest layouts.

Changes since 0.58.0

• Auto update from these GitHub releases: checked at start, downloaded with a progress screen, verified against the release's checksum, swapped in when the game closes.
