D.A.I. Engine 3.3

Changes since 3.1

Experience & World Creation

• Added support for configurable experience world creation, allowing experiences to launch with a selected world name and worldgen configuration instead of being locked to the experience's default worldgen.

• Added worldgen overrides that persist through the complete experience launch pipeline, including first-start setup and bootstrap actions.

• Added the new open_experience_creator title-screen action for experiences that require a dedicated world setup interface.

• Added a focused Boxhead Experience Creator with:

  • Custom world naming.

  • Selectable world types:

    • The Space
    • Box Town
    • Sky Scraper
    • Village Box
    • Boxlaska

  • Selectable game modes:

    • Last Breath
    • Infinite Dead
    • Casual Paradise

• Experience runtime now recognizes DAI data screens as active experience UI, preventing incorrect or duplicate UI reopening.

Projectile Runtime Overhaul

• Reworked custom projectile movement so DAI owns projectile velocity and translation directly.

• Fixed native/Mob-backed projectile carriers losing or incorrectly applying horizontal movement because of vanilla Mob movement processing.

• Added persistent runtime velocity tracking for active projectiles.

• Added forward_offset projectile support, allowing projectiles to spawn ahead of their source instead of directly inside the firing entity.

• Projectile orientation now follows its actual movement vector.

• DAI projectile meshes now support vertical pitch alignment, allowing bullets, knives, and other directional meshes to visually point along their trajectory.

• Ricochets now correctly update and preserve runtime velocity.

• Knockback calculations now use the projectile's actual DAI-controlled velocity.

• Improved projectile hit filtering:

  • Projectiles no longer collide with themselves.
  • DAI projectile carrier entities no longer collide with other DAI projectile carriers.
  • Existing owner/team hit rules remain respected.

Entity Gameplay Events

• Added temporary player-killer context during custom entity death events.
• Death-event logic can now distinguish when a DAI entity was directly killed by a player while its gameplay event is executing.
• Killer context is automatically removed immediately after the death event completes.

Rendering

• Expanded native mesh render state with projectile orientation data.
• DAI projectile entities now inherit both horizontal yaw and vertical pitch from their runtime trajectory.
• Normal custom mobs remain unaffected by projectile-specific pitch rendering.

Internal / Runtime

• Experience launch state now carries an optional worldgen override.
• Client bootstrap actions use the selected worldgen rather than always using the experience default.
• Server first-start world generation uses the same selected override, keeping client and server experience initialization synchronized.
• Improved missing-worldgen handling and diagnostics for overridden experience configurations.
