What's new

Boxhead 1.2

A major content, map, combat, UI, and presentation upgrade for the complete Boxhead survival experience.

Arena Overhauls

Village Box

  • Completely rebuilt Village Box with a much higher-detail environment.
  • Redesigned the central village layout with improved roads, buildings, landscaping, lighting, market areas, farmland, and environmental decoration.
  • Rebuilt the fountain with a properly contained water basin.
  • Fixed players spawning inside or too close to the fountain.
  • Village Box now serves as the new visual-quality baseline for Boxhead arenas.

Box Town

  • Gave Box Town a complete high-detail urban redesign.
  • Added detailed roads, sidewalks, lane markings, streetlights, alleys, dumpsters, and city infrastructure.
  • Added new civic, commercial, residential, emergency-service, motel, gas-station, and park areas.
  • Fixed initial world creation spawning players inside the central memorial and suffocating.
  • Updated all Box Town worldgen variants to use the corrected safe spawn.

Boxlaska

  • Completely redesigned Boxlaska with a unique snowy survival identity.
  • Added packed-ice roads, snowbanks, frozen waterways, spruce landscaping, cabins, ranger facilities, rescue infrastructure, bridges, lookout areas, and supply camps.
  • Improved cold-environment lighting and overall arena readability.
  • Greatly increased environmental detail without simply copying Village Box's design.

Sky Scraper

  • Significantly beautified the Sky Scraper arena.
  • Added more detailed individual floors, rooftop structures, interior features, lighting, and environmental variation.
  • Fixed the rooftop/interior pool continuously draining water into the void.
  • Rebuilt the staircase system into a proper continuous multi-floor switchback stairwell.
  • Added intermediate landings, railings, floor connections, lighting, and proper headroom.
  • Stairwell openings are now carved after decorative construction so floors cannot block the stairs again.

Combat Improvements

  • Added the new Combat Knife melee weapon.
  • Combat Knife is included with starting/recovery equipment.
  • Added a custom 3D Combat Knife model.
  • Corrected Combat Knife first-person and third-person positioning.
  • Increased standard Zombie rewards from $10 to $25.
  • Improved infected death processing.
  • Lethally damaged infected are removed from active targeting immediately.
  • Dead infected should no longer remain behind temporarily and absorb additional bullets.
  • Added protection against duplicate enemy-death reward processing.

Food & Survival Supplies

  • Added a dedicated Food & Supplies section to the Boxhead shop.
  • Added:
    • Bread x6 — $75
    • Cooked Beef x6 — $150
    • Golden Carrots x4 — $200
    • Golden Apple x1 — $450
  • Expanded the survival economy beyond weapons, ammunition, and barricades.

Survival Mode Improvements

  • Improved mode-specific world state handling.
  • Casual Paradise, Infinite Dead, and Last Breath are now tracked independently.
  • The Grave-key interface now reacts to the active survival mode.
  • Respawn is only shown when playing Casual Paradise.
  • Infinite Dead and Last Breath no longer display the inappropriate manual Respawn option.
  • Improved Last Breath / Last Stand Hardcore integration for supported DAI Engine versions.

Boxhead Menu Fixes

  • Improved reliability of the custom Boxhead Survival Console.
  • Fixed cases where dying, respawning, or runtime reinitialization could cause the Grave key to fall back to the default DAI menu.
  • Boxhead's experience-specific interface is now preserved more reliably throughout a run.

Visual & Resource Improvements

  • Added full Boxhead English localization.
  • Fixed raw translation keys such as:
    • item.boxhead.combatknifeCombat Knife
    • mob.boxhead.zombieZombie
  • Added proper names for weapons, ammunition, infected, projectiles, and other Boxhead content.
  • Fixed unintended transparency and visible holes in firearm material textures.
  • Preserved existing HD weapon artwork while correcting texture opacity.
  • Refreshed the Boxhead pack icon with improved detail, contrast, depth, and presentation.

Included Experience Components

  • DAI Engine
  • Boxhead Data Pack
  • Boxhead HD Resource Pack
  • DAI Damage Indicators
  • Boxhead Combat Knife generated model compatibility asset

Overall

Boxhead 1.2 is a major quality pass focused on bringing every arena closer to a complete standalone survival-game experience while improving combat feedback, progression, menu behavior, Hardcore support, environmental detail, and overall visual consistency.
