Simple Future Weapons

Weapon Balancing & Tuning

• The "Stop" Sign (Rare - Lvl 40): * Recalibrated damage values for high-tier survival. Reduced base physical damage from 48 to 24 and charged thrust from 144 to 58 to ensure fair gameplay while maintaining a "heavy-hitter" feel.

• Baseball Bat (Uncommon - Lvl 20): * Balanced swing damage to 13 and charged attack to 28.

  • Adjusted DurabilityLossOnHit to 0.52 for long-term reliability in zombie encounters.

• Tactical Knife (Common - Lvl 25): * Optimized for high-speed combat. Base damage set to 8 (swings) and 18 (thrust), with a powerful 35 damage signature finisher.

VFX & Synchronization

• VFX Alignment: Fixed a bug where weapon swing particles were desynchronized from the animation.

• Dynamic Trails: Added specific particle ID triggers (Hytale_VFX_Weapon_Swing_Small/Large) to all weapons. Wind trails now accurately follow the weapon_bone path.

• Charged Attack Visuals: Implemented unique VFX_Thrust_Charged effects for the Stop Sign and Knife special moves to provide better visual feedback during combat.

Audio & Quality of Life

• Sound Set Updates: Reassigned ItemSoundSetId for the Stop Sign to reflect heavy metallic impact.

• Durability Overhaul: Increased max durability for all urban tools to match the "scavenged gear" aesthetic, ensuring weapons don't break too quickly during raids.

• UI/Icons: Optimized IconProperties (Scale, Rotation, and Translation) for all three weapons to ensure they display correctly in the inventory and hotbar.
