MeatSlicer Developer d9eae34df4 Normalize ammo economy: per-weapon refill, stream drain, behavior fixes
- Every special weapon gets an explicit 'refill' (units per ammo pickup,
  tuned so one pickup funds ~10 kills) replacing the ammoRefillFraction
  log2 heuristic and ammoWeight overrides
- Bile Blunderbuss + The Cauterizer join Red Right Hand as time-denominated
  stream weapons ('drain' per second) instead of per-shot cost
- Sawblades ricochet through enemies (bounce fix), traps catch 3 victims,
  lobbed projectiles arc overhead and always trigger at the target point
  (Flesh Masher / Trap Queen / Swarm Jar payloads now actually deploy)
- Boss rooms stock one ammo on entry and drop one guaranteed on death
- Cauterizer burn trimmed (2.2s x2 -> 1.5s x0.8), bile acid pools trimmed
  (3.5s x1.5 -> 2.5s x0.8), Marrow Draught now covers stream drain
- New tools/ammo_sim.js calibrates every weapon into the 8-13 kills/refill
  band (all 15 pass); smoke test guards the ammo structure
- v0.3.0, cache bump v=44

MeatSlicer Developer 7d33e36c1e v0.2.0: item pickups hold their toast for 5.5s

Cache v=43.

MeatSlicer Developer 64ac53434b Doom-style weapon audio batch + remove footsteps
- Regenerated all 13 weapon fire one-shots and 4 weapon loops via the audio
  specialist (ElevenLabs) with a 1993 Doom style brief: chunky, bass-heavy,
  crunchy 90s FPS sounds
- New clips wired into SfxBank: ui_active, ui_active_empty (active items),
  ui_curse (legendary pickups, replaces the normal item jingle), plr_revive
  (Second Skin revive)
- Footstep system removed entirely (never worked right): Sfx.footstep, 8
  plr_step* samples and bank entries, player.js call site, smoke test block
- Cache v=42
2026-07-30 17:41:31 +10:00
MeatSlicer Developer 4dad22d087 Ammo economy: 25% less ammo per box, 25% fewer ammo drops

  normal kill); help/gameplay drop-rate text updated; cache v=41
2026-07-30 17:18:11 +10:00
MeatSlicer Developer 0ec12cd72c Phase 5: active items — room-clear charged, dedicated pedestals, Space to use
- ACTIVES table with 10 actives (Bone Nova, Offal Bomb, Blood Transfusion,
  Cleaver Storm, Butcher's Bell, Marrow Draught, Slaughter Time, Panic Room,
  Skinner's Coin, Gut Reroll); charges accrue +1/combat room, +2/boss

  teal medallion frame variant in draw_sprites.py; 10 generated icons

- Bump asset cache to v=40
2026-07-30 17:14:25 +10:00
MeatSlicer Developer d5b1828df4 Fix help manual layout: shrink tabs to fit panel, space implant rows
- 10+ tabs at fixed 108px overflowed the 920px panel; tabs now shrink to fit
- Implant rows grew a rarity/cap sub-line but kept 20px spacing; now 26px
  with 10 rows per column (20 items/page, 5 pages for 82 items)
- Bump asset cache to v=39; smoke test asserts tabs stay on-screen
2026-07-30 16:17:20 +10:00
MeatSlicer Developer f9552326c2 Phase 4: 10 boss-exclusive legendaries + ammo/HP balance fixes

Crimson Metronome, Abattoir Engine, Gore Crown, Thousand Teeth, Hollow Father,
The Last Cut, Meat Grinder. Once-per-floor flags reset in nextFloor.

Balance fixes: Ghoul Heart now +4 HP (2 full hearts); Brass Magazine ammo
efficiency uses the same diminishing additive formula as Scrap Feed.

2026-07-30 15:44:31 +10:00
MeatSlicer Developer 4f46d54e99 Item system overhaul: rarity bands, per-item caps, source pools + 14 new passives
- Add ITEM_RARITY (common/uncommon/rare/legendary) with per-item tier caps
- Weighted pools per source: elites favour common, item rooms uncommon,
  bosses rare/legendary; legendaries are boss-exclusive; capped items excluded
- Rarity-weighted powerScore so deep common stacks inflate difficulty less
- Differentiate duplicates: Grafted Trigger, Crow Bait, Hollow Bones, Twin Hearts
- 14 new clean passives incl. Chill Gland (activates slowOnHit) and Hooked Sinew

- Wider, walkable doorways: clear passage for open, teeth only when locked
- 500ms spawn telegraph so wave spawns no longer blindside the player

- Vitals HUD: two-row hearts, half-container outlines, half-heart shield pips

MeatSlicer Developer 3f856e416a Add in-game field manual on the pause screen
A [?] HELP button (or H key) on the pause screen opens a seven-page
technical manual: controls, run loop, arsenal, mutations, implants,
bestiary and pressure/defense math. List pages render live from the
WEAPONS/ITEMS/PERKS/ENEMY_TYPES/BOSS_DEFS tables so values never drift.
Also unifies the sfxbank fetch cache-buster with the v36 bump.
