Project Hero v0.15.9 -- The Mark 8 & Sentry Mode, Gantry Suit Swap, Integrity Overhaul, New Repulsor Flight, Ring Light

🦾 NEW: THE MARK 8

• A brand new Iron Man suit, red and gold, built from a custom skin.
• How to get it: it's the next step after the Mark 7 on the Blank Blueprint. Once your whole Mark 7 is built, stamp a Mark 8 Blueprint and build it piece by piece at the Stark Fabricator. It's the priciest suit yet (more Titanium-Gold plates and a Suit Computer in every piece).
• Stats:
  • 5000 energy (+5 a second), same energy rules as the Mark 7
  • 3000 integrity, same integrity rules as the Mark 7
  • +8 melee damage
  • Breathes underwater
  • Feeds you automatically
  • Resistance II, Regeneration I when hurt, targeting HUD and auto-aim, abilities cost 40% less
• Abilities: the full Mark 7 kit (R repulsor / Sneak+R dash, G wheel weapon / Sneak+G Sonic Clap, X flares or supersonic boost / Sneak+X JARVIS scan, Z red laser / Sneak+Z Unibeam, hold V weapon wheel / Sneak+V energy shield). The weapon wheel is the "Mark 8 Arsenal".
• Calling it: wear your Stark Glasses and call it, and the pieces fly in from its Suit Platform one by one. The Colantotte Bracelets still only call the Mark 7.
• Protocol Phoenix now brings in your Mark 8 if you have one.
• Its eyes, arc reactor, palms and boot soles glow in the dark.

🛡️ NEW: SENTRY MODE (MARK 8, C)

• Press C in the full Mark 8: the armour opens up at the back, you step out, and it closes and stands there on its own.
• Right-click the suit to open its back. Right-click again to close it.
• While it's open, Sneak + right-click: you walk back into the suit and it closes around you and equips itself. You can't be hurt while you step in.
• While it's closed, Sneak + right-click switches its mode:
  • Regular: stands idle, slowly scanning around.
  • Follow: walks after you (flies to catch up if you get far ahead, teleports to you past 32 blocks) and lights up the area around it.
  • Defensive: follows you, lights up the area and fights for you with repulsor blasts (or a punch up close). It goes after whoever hurt you most recently first, then the enemy closest to you. It never targets you or your squad.
• In Defensive mode, if you drop to 4 hearts or less, the suit flies back to you and closes around you automatically.
• Every shot uses the suit's own energy. At 0 energy it stops fighting and just stands there.
• Hits on the standing suit drain its integrity. At 0 energy or 0 integrity it powers down and slumps, but you can still step back into it.
• The suit keeps standing if you log out or die, and it's never destroyed.
• Every state is animated: stepping out, the back opening and closing, idle scanning, walking, flying, a combat stance that aims and recoils, a flourish when you switch modes, and the powered-down slump.
• With your helmet off, a small HUD panel shows your sentry's mode, energy and integrity.

🏗️ STARK GANTRY: REMOVE OR SWAP

• Press H on the gantry while wearing a suit and you now get a choice: Remove Suit or Swap Suit.
• Remove Suit takes your armour off like before.
• Swap Suit opens the suit list (suits on your Suit Platforms and suits in your pack, highest Mark first). Pick one and the gantry takes your current suit off, sends it home to its platform (or your pack if there's no room), then fits the new suit, all in one smooth sequence.
• If the suit you picked goes missing during the swap, you're set down unsuited and nothing is lost.
• The gantry can also fit a suit you're carrying in your pack, not just racked ones.
• Gantry timing: the gauntlets and boots are now 1 second apart, just like every other part (they used to be 0.2 seconds apart). A full suit takes about 12.5 seconds.
• Fix: wearing a Mark 6/7/8, your mob highlight no longer turns suits standing on Suit Platforms into solid white figures.

💼 MARK 5: CASE UNFOLDS ONTO THE PLATFORM

• Putting the Mark 5 suitcase back on a Suit Platform now plays an animation: the case lands on the rack, opens up and builds into the armour standing on the rack.
• The rack is locked until it finishes.

⚙️ IRON MAN: INTEGRITY & ARROWS

• No Iron Man suit repairs its integrity while you wear it any more. Dock it on a Suit Platform to repair it.
• Integrity now takes 100% of every hit: if a hit does 10 damage, the suit loses 10 integrity (fire included). Hits a suit ignores completely (arrows and fire on immune suits, bullets, anything during suit-up) still do nothing.
• Arrows stuck in your body disappear whenever you suit up or suit down.

🚀 REPULSOR BOOTS: NEW FLIGHT ANIMATION

• Brand new flight pose for flying with the Repulsor item.
  • Hovering: upright, arms angled down with palms to the ground, legs together, gentle bob.
  • Moving: you lean smoothly into the direction you're flying (up to 35 degrees), bank when strafing, arms swept back and legs trailing.
  • Climbing and sinking change the arm pose too.
• Everything blends smoothly with no snapping.
• No more sprint flying with the Repulsor boots: sprint does nothing while you're boot-flying (no speed boost, no FOV zoom).

💚 GREEN LANTERN

• The Will Trial now uses up the 20 experience levels it needs when it starts. You only pay if the trial actually begins.
• Lantern Light reworked: instead of placing a lantern, the light now comes from your ring and follows you wherever you go, and you get Night Vision while it's on. Use it again to turn it off.
