Bot fighting rows for match.csv (and BotStuckTime is now 1)

Bots now fight with their own kit (brief alan-05, PR to follow). Their difficulty knobs are temporary, in Source/BrainDanceMOBA/GameMode/BDBotTuning.h. Please add them…

CCollin asked · 3d agobalance

Balance: new item mod columns in items.csv (ModSlot, ModShots, ModSpread, ModDamagePct, ModDamage, ModRadius)

Items now apply in Unreal (PR 20). The two mod items needed numbers that lived only in their descriptions, so data/items.csv has six new columns. They're seeded with…

AAlan asked · 6h agobalance

Balance: session timing rows for match.csv

The new main menu (host, join, leave; branch gamemode, PR to follow) has two timing numbers that belong in data/match.csv. For now they're temporary constants in one…

Balance: MoveSpeed and ForceTime columns are new; please set their values (and drop BaseWalkSpeed)

Balance: bot movement rows for match.csv

Design, data and art · updated 2026-11-01
On track

Working on next

  • tune bot difficulty after the first real playtest; #14 and #21; map concepts for the Cash Brawl arena
What they just finished
  • added Alan's bot rows (#11, #24) and session rows (#16) to data/match.csv at his proposed values, BotStuckTime 1. Fixed the MinPlayersToStart note (PR #29). No MaxHumans row: TeamSize x MaxTeams is what we want
  • picked the Final 16 (docs/champions/final-16.md, brainstorm only) and locked the art direction (docs/art-direction.md): anime ink in game, inked gothic for 2D. Started the BrainDance hub (hub/), a Cloudflare…

On track

Working on next

  • A two-human playtest with the package once bots fight (#22).
  • Steam sessions for #8.
  • Items in the HUD, if Alan wants them through the interface.
What they just finished
  • on combat, merged into main as PR #20 (617c572) on 2026-10-29.
  • faa89cb, items through GAS:
  • 2a0761e, packaged builds:
  • All 41 BrainDance.* tests pass headless, run alone, with 0 ensures. The one Error: line is the dropped connection MenuHostJoin expects.
  • Packaged: two copies on this PC start at the main menu. A host on L_Arena_Whitebox?listen and a client at 127.0.0.1 connected, and Cash Brawl rounds ran: lobby, buy (bots bought items), fight, round end, with every…
  • Not checked by hand: clicking Alan's Host button and Join box. Desktop control couldn't reach the packaged game's window, so the check used the same travel those buttons do (?listen, then the address). Input and…

On track

Working on next

  • The 0/10 join list count: the cause and fix are posted for Collin on #8 (RegisterPlayer in Shared/BDOnlineSessions.cpp). Then MenuFindJoin should expect 1/10, and 2/10 after a join.
  • Bot rows from DT_Match once #24 and #11 land.
  • Bot difficulty: bots feel fine for now. Revisit after a real playtest.
What they just finished
  • PR #32 merged. Fast-forwarded gamemode to main (0bbbc55).
  • Nudged Nate on #24, #11 and #16.
  • No code, asset or data changes. No build or test run needed.
