== Version 2.0 - Reelism 2 Turbo (25/07/2026) ==

Welcome to the first expansion pack! So named because, well, it's more of the
same except better.

Reelism 2 Turbo requires UZDoom v5.0 or above. GZDoom is no longer supported.

=== BIG-TICKET FEATURES ===
THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR:
- Multiplayer is now supported in Reelism 2! You and your friends can
  take on the hordes of the Reelism Zones together using UZDoom's
  upgraded netcode. Tons of changes have been made under the hood to
  support multiplayer, including difficulty scaling based on player count.
  - For Reelism 2, we recommend 4 players max for performance and balance
    reasons, or 8 players on large maps.
  - See netplay.txt for information on how to play multiplayer.

- This was a huge collaborative undertaking between 300 Pounds and
  the UZDoom development team. Special thanks to Boondorl, who watched
  in horror as our stupid mod pushed the engine to its breaking point.

SLOTS:
- Added Scared Little Weird Guys! Mini-monsters ahoy!
- Added Attraction in Action! Items will be magically drawn towards you.
- Added Snake Me On! You've played Snake before, right?
- Added Wasted! These hazardous weapons are probably banned by the Geneva
  Conventions, but we won't let that stop you.
- Added Ammo Geysers! Instead of weapons, you get buckets of ammo.
- Added WEAPO~1! The best 2D DOS weapons get extruded into the third dimension.
- Added Chunky Champions! These big bois will soak up your bullets and
  look huge doing it.
- Added Cops 'n' Robbers! In this reel, you're caught in the crossfire
  between dangerous gun-wielding maniacs and robbers.
- Added You're It! Whoever's "it" at the end of the round gets a nasty
  surprise. (Multiplayer only)
- Added Phoenix! Resurrect other players in spectacular, fiery fashion.
  (Multiplayer only)

MAPS:
- Added Grind-Based Combat! A skate-park retheme of a Reelism 1 classic.
- Added Battery Canyon! It's deeper than a Gulch...
- Hell Circus maps can now be permanently unlocked! All you need to do is
  play it once in the Hell Circus to unlock it forever.
- Added probably too many maps to the Hell Circus...
  
TOWN:
- Construction has continued in Town, including a new teleporter for...
- Custom Town Maps! Modders can now create new Town maps that can be
  populated with their own stores, NPCs, sidequests, and minigames.
  See the modding documentation for details.
- New Max Ammo vending machines allow you to quickly fill your ammo reserves.
- The ATMs at the Bank can now be used to share money between players
  in a multiplayer game.
- A new merchant is hanging out in the park, willing to off-load some
  random weapons at a reasonable price.
- Strange noises have been coming from the big door in the Church again...

WEAPONS:
- A few weapons have been completely reworked!
  Some of the weapons we added for v1.0 didn't turn out quite how we
  wanted, so we took another pass at them. See the "Changes" section
  for more details. If you didn't use these weapons in previous
  versions of Reelism 2, give them another shot!
- Nails and Saws have been combined into a new ammo type, Metal!
- Added a new weapon, the Combat Slug Mortar, to Blue Magic!
- For the most dedicated/psychotic players, we've added a secret bonus
  weapon. You'll find it when you find it.

BOSSES:
- Added The Entire Cincinnati Bengals! Yes, all 48 of them, as one boss.
- Added The Idiot Box! You are what you watch.
- Added optional on-screen markers that reveal boss locations.
  No more scouring the map to find where the boss is hiding!

ITEMS:
- Added a new Quick Grenade Throw keybind, if you want to quickly toss
  a grenade without having to scroll through your inventory. This keybind
  is accessible through both the Inventory control menu and the Reelism
  Options menu.

JACKPOTS:
- Added E█████████! A cosmic-level helping hand to reclaim the arena.
- Added T██ R█████! A little stimulus to keep you going.
- Added E███ T█████! This one is a death sentence, but them's the breaks.
- Added T██████ M██████. This one was completely functional in Reelism 2 v1.0,
  but... uh... we forgot to enable it. Whoops!
- Added R█-R███. A pinch hitter when you get the Slot Roll from Hell.

ACCESSIBILITY:
- Added a new Accessibility section to the Reelism Options menu! We wanted to
  highlight the options we added for player comfort:
  - Slot Delay: Change the time between slots at the start of each round, in case
    you need more time to read them.
  - Drunkness Intensity: Adjust the intensity of the visual effect during
    the Drunked Up reel for those with motion sickness issues.
  - Dog Sound Type: Replace the sounds dog monsters make (barking, whining etc.)
    with AdLib noises if you find them too distressing.
- Reelism 2 is for everyone! (Except Puppets. Man, fuck Puppets.)

MISC:
- High score lists are now separate for each map! As a result, your high
  scores will be reset, but your total score will carry over.
- Added a tutorial for new players! If you've played a couple rounds already,
  the tutorial will automatically be skipped. You can reenable it at any time
  through the Reelism Options menu.
- Rewards will spawn after certain boss rounds in Infinite Mode! For those
  hardcore players going for 50+ rounds, we hope you enjoy these extra items,
  compliments of the Benevolent God of Reelism.
- Added a new assist, Double Ammo! For those who need some extra clips.
- Added a new assist for multiplayer, No Friendly Fire.
- Added a new un-assist, Minion Mayhem! Monsters will spawn during boss rounds
  a la Boss Rush.
- Major rework of level select menus. This fixes a bunch of issues and also
  adds new features, like scrolling. You shouldn't notice most of the changes,
  but it makes things much easier for us (and for modders!).
- Added new options for map spawner themes! This is an underutilized feature from
  all the way back in Early Excess that we finally gave some attention.
- Added a new titlemap, Dash, to celebrate the big update. This new titlemap
  is unlocked by default!
- Added an in-game option to delete your Reelism 2 save data.
- As an apology for a bug related to post-game unlocks (see Misc. fixes),
  everyone who's already completed Reelism 2 will find a bonus chunk of change
  waiting in the Bank when they start the game! (Remember to import your save
  data .ini from GZDoom!)

- Reelism 64: Reworked to look more like fog from a Nintendo 64 game.

  motion sickness on this reel.

  if a monster was frozen and then shattered.

  some powerful new properties!
  - Sports Armor: Increased the absorption rate from 50% to 75%.
  - Sports Drink: Temporarily boosts health to 150.

- Crate Shower: Added some of the new weapons from this expansion.

MAPS:
- Paradise Plaza: Gave the player slightly more room to walk outside of the map
  before being killed.

- Gutrot Island and Petit Gutrot: Made table props destructible.
- D██ a█ t██ W████████: Added a few new music tracks.

TOWN:
- More weird and interesting things are going on around Town...
- Earnest Tittle has restocked his wares.
- The barista at the Bruiser Brothers Cafe finally got his Contestant-Serving
  License, and he has new advice for you.
- Hot dogs from the hot dog vendor have become tangible, useable items.
  Not that it'll do you much good.
- Boostah realized you've been ripping him off and has doubled the prices
  for his superitems. Sorry, gov!
- The HUD ammo list now automatically includes custom ammo types from mods!
  This is part of a rework for ammo types in Reelism 2 (see "Notes for Modders").
- Added some handy clarifying signage to the casino.

MONSTERS:
- Cyclo Wizard: Tornados will now expire faster when hitting players.
- Flamebot: DRAMATICALLY reduced flamethrower damage to something slightly below
  "instant death if he sneezes at you".
- Flamebots will no longer try to infight and lock themselves into an endless loop
  of dealing 0 fire damage to each other.
- Trackbot: Improved firing animation.
- Sentry Drone: Lowered health from 120 to 100.
- Cowboys: Taunts are now higher resolution, and they finally have the pain
  sounds that Kinsie defined in the code, but somehow forgot to add actual sound
  files for until now. Oops.
- Monsters have gotten better at balancing their priorities. When attacked by
  a player who they aren't currently fighting (eg., they're focused on somebody
  else, or they're infighting with other monsters), they now have a chance of
  switching their target to go after whoever hit them last.

WEAPONS:
- Heavy Burst Rifle: Bullets can now penetrate up to three enemies,
  effectively *tripling* their damage in crowds! To balance this out, 
  the damage per bullet has been reverted back to the lower value from
  Early Excess, reducing the average damage for each hit by about 20%.
- Fire Crossbow: Reduced ammo usage from 3 to 2 per arrow.
- D!Fender Rifle: Raised precision damage bonus by 20%. C'mon, why does nobody
  like this weapon?
- D!Fender Rifle: Juiced up the firing sound.
- Caltrop Cannon: Altfire caltrops now stay out for 30 seconds instead of 25.
- Rocket Ball Launcher: Moved charging functionality from altfire to main fire.
  Did you know you could charge the Rocket Ball Launcher? You do now!
- Rocket Ball Launcher will no longer autofire when switching weapons.
- Knife and Fork: Increased bonus health for eating an enemy on fire.
- Knife and Fork: Added a special message for eating a bony friend.
- Cold Snap: Sped up fire time by 3 tics and recharge time by 4 tics.
- Cold Snap: Attack cooldown animation can now be canceled with an alt-fire punch.
- Neptune's Gauntlet: Big-time buffs. Projectiles now travel much further,
  bounce off geometry, and do more damage. (Projectiles also now leave a water
  stain effect on the walls.) To balance things out, ammo use has been increased
  from 3 to 5, and the cost in Town has been raised from $2000 to $2500.
- Hand of the Earth: Big-time nerfs. Now only fires four projectiles, which have
  do ~30% less damage, and disappear after 5 seconds. Ammo use has been increased
  from 10 to 15. Cooldown time has also been increased by ~.2 seconds. This weapon
  rules, but it was proving to be a little too powerful, especially on big arena
  maps like Gutrot Island.
- Hand of the Earth: Added some visual polish to make the weapon animations feel
  more impactful. Sorry about the nerfs, but hey, at least it looks cooler.
- Sawblade Launcher: Made a higher priority in weapon slot 4 (above the Super Ramset
  and Fire Crossbow) due to its melee utility.
- Sawblade Launcher: Added a nasty sound for alt-fire hitting scenery.
- Baseball Bat: Can now knock back enemy projectiles! (If you have good timing.)
- Footbaww: Added a fun, if entirely useless, little touch on the alt-fire.
- Fireworks Launcher: Made rockets even more unpredictable.
- Roulette Revolver: Superammo (BFG shots and cars) can no longer be held in
  reserve by deselecting the Roulette Revolver. This made it too easy to cheese
  boss fights. Sorry!
- Roulette Revolver: Increased damage on disc projectiles by ~10%, and increased
  their number of bounces from 3 to 5 (for comedy reasons).
- Roulette Revolver: Amped up railgun sound.
- Big Swingy: Total rework. Rather than spinning you in a circle, Big Swingy
  now makes long, chainable swipes that knock away enemies in front of you.
  It's faster and easier to use, but it still feels a little out of control.
  Plus, it gives you a couple invincibility frames, so you can can crush
  through projectiles that come at you while you're flattening enemies.
  The old spinning swing is now on altfire, and you can can hold it down to
  swing in circles for as long as you'd like! Altfire no longer hits enemies
  multiple times in a row, but now it's more powerful to make up for it.
- Big Swingy: Altfire now spins twice as fast when Power Sneakers slot is active.
- Big Swingy: Other players can see your hammer when you're spinning it around,
  which should be a signal for them to give you a wide berth.
- Target Painter: Big increases to missile spread and damage range! This should
  make the weapon much more effective.
- Persuadertron: Increased ammo from 20 to 30.
- Fists of Fury: Total rework. This weapon now acts like you're playing
  a fighting game, complete with hitstop, launchers, and cancels. You'll also
  get bonus points for every hit you land! Hit the fire and alt-fire buttons
  rapidly to rack up some serious combos! 
- Fists of Fury now has higher weapon switch priority than the EKG Sidearm.
- Super Plasma Rifle: Reduced damage output by 25%.
- FISTO now leaves impact marks on walls.
- Embyro Injector: Baby Chryssalids no longer award points when killed.
  They need to do way instain player who kill their babby.
- Chaos Orb: Improved handling when the weapon is removed from inventory.
- The Brick: After over a decade of thankless, stoic service, the Brick has finally
  been given unique sounds. Maybe next expansion I'll do sprites that don't suck!

BOSSES:
- Mega Imp: Meaner than ever! Mega Imp's fireball now goes 50% faster and has
  a larger blast radius, and the Mini Imps run 50% faster.
- Dog Pope II: Upon the death of the Dog Pope, a new Dog Pope will be named.
- Ape Lincoln: Changed vulnerable phase to be five seconds long instead of varying
  based on the length of the randomly chosen sound (which are now also all five
  seconds long). This change was made primarily for multiplayer and netcode
  reasons, but also for gameplay consistency.
- MF Wizard: Changed second-phase starting taunt sequence to be five seconds
  instead of a length varying based on the etc. etc. blah blah, you get the drill.
- MF Wizard: Now gives 3000 points for each phase (6000 total), rather
  than the boss default 5000 points for each phase (10,000 total).
- In boss rounds, Ammo Boxes will spawn instead of Rocket Pogos or Panic Buttons.
- Bosses will shrug off damage caused by damaging floors.
- Reduced damage output for a secret boss.
- Increased score reward for beating a secret boss.
- Added new boss lifebar colors for modders: orange, purple, pink, black, fire,
  ice, sapphire, and... candy.

  completely nuts and blocking your view. Bosses are ordered by how recently
  they were hit by a player or a friendly monster.

ITEMS:
- Full heal items will also extinguish the player if they are on fire.
- Cobb Salad now restores an additional 30 health over time.

JACKPOTS:
- Lowered price of the Jackpot Dice to $25,000!
- R███████ o█ F██████: Added unique killpic.
- T██ B███: Added some new agitating music.
- A████ 9██: This jackpot can now only be rolled once per map. This was
  TECHNICALLY possible in single player, but it's more of an issue in multiplayer.
- K███ E██ C█████!: Added a catastrophic new reaction with THE JERK.
- I███ A████!: Jumping attacks now deal melee damage, preventing them from blowing
  up cars and other carnage that should be resolved for bullets and explosions.
- G██████: Expanded the list of rare items that can spawn.
- G██████: Added Sportsball! health and armor items.
- B████, Y██ C██ D████ M█ C██: Added a rare easter egg.

BOSS RUSH:
- Added some new music.
- Food items that appear when bosses die will despawn after 30 seconds, like ammo.
- Decreased the frequency of crowd heckling.

  docs for more information.
- Modders can add content to the Manual! See the modding docs for details.
- Modders can add custom billboards, too! See the modding docs for details.
- The Map Helper actor (see modding docs) will now respond to changes made
  *during* the game, rather than just at the start of the game. Thanks to Shadow
  Hog for suggesting this improvement!
- Enable Respawn assist has been renamed Respawn Anytime to reflect the new
  respawn behavior in multiplayer.
- Menu tooltips were converted to the built-in tooltip system in UZDoom v5.0.
- Altered some things behind the curtain to make post-processing shaders more
  more reliable and easier to work with (see "Notes for Modders").
- Added some new post-game tips and nonsense.
- Updated the self-kill endgame screen to accurately reflect the likely age of
  the player.
- Added scale interpolation (a new UZDoom feature!) in a few places.

  of explosives.
- Clockwork Solarium: Minor adjustments, including fixing some misaligned
  textures in the courtyard.
- A Bridge Too Far: Fixed a visual bug on the east underside of the bridge
  during the Reelism 64 reel.
- A Bridge Too Far: UZDoom v5.0 fixes an engine bug that caused the player
  to suddenly die if they launched from one of the dashpads and passed over
  a powerful area-of-effect attack, like THE JERK's damage range.
  (This bug was so mysterious that we actually had to dig into the UZDoom code
  ourselves to fix the problem! This is what it has come to: Reelism 2 has bugs
  so baroque that they've turned us into engine contributors against our will.)
- A Bridge Too Far: Fixed water deaths not registering correctly sometimes.
- Overflow: Fixed a bug that caused the damaging water on the eastern side
  of the map not to generate splash effects.
- Overflow: Fixed water deaths not registering correctly sometimes.

  the new default lighting modes introduced in GZDoom v4.11.0.

TOWN:
- Fixed a long-standing bug that made NPCs twitch out while standing still.

  players to do some Counter-Strike crouch tower shenanigans.

- Items will now be removed from Boostah's storefront as they're purchased,
  fixing button mashing leading to wasting money on items you've already
  purchased to zero effect.
- Players will now instantly revive if they die in Town. Normally, this is
  impossible, but since one of you managed to do this while you were messing 
  around with console commands, we added this failsafe. There are simply those
  who can't help themselves from touching the stove.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Temple music from fading out correctly when
  entering the door to the finale.

  extremely weird physics during the Grease Is The Word reel where colliding with
  a Zombie would instantly accelerate the player to the speed of light.
- Flamebot: Fixed an oversight that caused Flamebot to spawn debris with the
  incorrect color when crushed or eaten.
- Assault Trooper: Fixed a bunch of peculiarities with crouching.
- Monsters that spawn stuck inside each other can now move around more easily.
- Friendly monsters that award points on death will now count towards the map's
  monster count.
- Fixed an oversight that could cause monsters to bleed the wrong color (or bleed
  at all when they shouldn't) during comedy extreme death states, like being
  crushed or eaten.
- Fixed an extremely rare oversight that allowed you to KILL THE JERK. We regret
  our depiction of THE JERK as mortal and extend our apologies to the people of

    on a slope.

  circumstances if they died while charging.

  prevent themselves from being thrusted.

  the Basketball and the Brick) from being picked up in some circumstances.
- Fixed a long-standing issue that prevented actors from receiving credit for
  damage inflicted over time, such as being set on fire by the Flamethrower.
- Fixed a rare bug where weapons would fail to lower on death if their sprites
  were positioned high on the screen.
- Added tags for player morph weapons, such as the Tank.
- Disabled autoaim on some weapons, including the Tank.

BOSSES:
- Spider Metamind: Fixed an oversight that could cause certain sprite frames
  to be overwritten by other non-Reelism-related mods loaded with UZDoom,
  resulting in visual weirdness.
- Dog Pope II: Bee killpic will now appear correctly.
- Dog Pope II: Will now properly shrug off damage from bees and dogs.

  deaths caused by unusual weapon behavior.

- Fixed a bug that could cause small bosses to become trapped inside each other
  when falling, resulting in the bosses endlessly spewing out blood while slowly
  levitating up into outer space.

=== NOTES FOR MODDERS ===
- There have been significant under-the-hood changes throughout Reelism 2
  to accommodate new features and multiplayer support. You may need to
  update your mods to make them compatible with this new version.
  See below for a list of changes that may impact you.
- We've made underlying changes to some monsters and slots for the sake
  of multiplayer support. This particularly affects monsters that used the
  IsActorPlayingSound function, and slots like Drunked Up and Mirror Mode
  that alter the player's view. If you based your mods on any of these examples,
  please see how we've updated them!
- Map definitions are handled very differently now. You no longer need to
  define maps in MENUDEF, but you do need to assign them to a cluster.
  For the sake of multiplayer, you will also need to enable TeamDamage
  in your map definitions.
  See the modding documentation for details and MAPINFO for examples.
- Ammo now has a new base actor definition type (Splot_Ammo) rather than
  using mixins. This new actor class also has variables that change how
  the ammo appears in the Town HUD. Please update your ammo definitions!
  If you used the Splot_Ammo mixin for any other non-ammo items, replace it
  with Splot_PickupSpawnControl.
- Major under-the-hood changes have been made to the post-game results screen
  for the sake of multiplayer. If your mods add custom obituary graphics, text,
  etc., please reference the Splot_PlayerPawn actor to see how these work now.
- Post-processing shaders are now handled using a purpose-made script,
  Splot_ShaderManager.SetShader, which makes it easier to safely set and
  unset shaders via slots or other actors. Please replace Shader.SetEnabled
  anywhere it appears in your scripts. All you need to do is change name of
  the script being called, and the Shader Manager takes care of the rest.
- Due to changes to UZDoom netcode, do not use the flag SXF_CLIENTSIDE when
  spawning actors. We had used this frequently in earlier versions of Reelism 2
  when spawning effects particles, so if you copied any of that code, you may
  need to remove that flag from any code that uses A_SpawnItemEx.
- We've made some forward-thinking changes to how gametypes handlers are
  referenced, with the idea that modders might want to add their own minigames
  or gametypes in the future! If you have a class that uses the function
  EventHandler.Find to set gametype, consider updating it to our new function,
  GametypeList.FindActiveGametype(), which will automatically identify which
  gametype is being played on the current map.
- We've added a new version of the action A_SpawnProjectile, which accounts
  for changes made to monster height by reels like Scared Little Weird Guys.
  When appropriate, use A_SplotSpawnProjectile instead.
- We made a new common base actor for the invisible spawners that create items,
  weapons, and monsters for each slot. There were a few weird collision issues
  we had to address, and this was the cleanest way to do it. For all of your
  spawners, use Slot_Spawner_Base as your base actor rather than Actor.

== Version 1.0 (15/04/22) ==

Certain shader-based effects will not correctly function using the OpenGL ES
renderer, causing certain enemies, reels and jackpots to look and sometimes even
function incorrectly. We recommend using the full OpenGL or Vulkan renderers to
get what passes for the "proper" Reelism 2 experience.

=== NOTES FOR MODDERS ===
- This update includes a major rewrite for inventory and score items. If you
  created a mod prior to this version that uses ScoreItem or CustomInventory,
  you'll need to change those to Splot_ScoreItem and Splot_Inventory to ensure
  that the items are affected by score multipliers. (See inventory definitions
  for an example of how points are now handled as actor properties.)
- The map ACS hook Splot_RoundChange is now called Splot_RoundStart. Any maps
  made before this version of Reelism 2 that used Splot_RoundChange will need
  their scripting updated.
