v0.49.10‐beta - HDR-Development/HewDraw-Remix GitHub Wiki

[Important] Support for Switch Firmware v21.1.0

If you are on Switch firmware 20.0.X or earlier, installing this update will cause a hard black screen on boot.

To properly update, please complete the following steps in order:

  1. Disable our HID changes by renaming the following: /atmosphere/contents/0100000000000013 -> /atmosphere/contents/.0100000000000013
  2. Update Custom Firmware (Atmosphere/Hekate) as usual
  3. Update your Switch firmware to the latest version, and restart
  4. Download the HewDraw Remix update, and restart (again)
  5. (optionally) Delete the old HID changes in /atmosphere/contents/.0100000000000013 and verify the new HID changes exist in /atmosphere/contents/0100000000000013
  6. (optionally) Validate your installation in the HDR Launcher

Engine

General

  • Reduced item pickup range for all characters
  • Reduced jostle overlap rate during dash grabs from 2.0 to 1.5
  • Removed the ability of ledge attacks to reverse hit grounded opponents; only aerial opponents can be reverse hit by ledge attacks
  • Lowered the priority of turn-around below that of crouch during landing, to prevent accidental turnaround-crouches during CC
  • Damage turnaround is no longer determined solely by the receiver's base position in relation to the attacker's
    • If the receiver is hit slightly behind the attacker (within half the width of the receiver's ECB) on a move that sends forward, the receiver will not be turned to face the attacker (and vice versa for moves that send backward)
    • This should mitigate situations where a receiver was technically behind the attacker, but being turned around was visually strange or disadvantageous to the attacker

Platforms

  • Shield drops can now be performed during the first 6 frames of shield release

Footstool

  • Footstool Lockout: 40F -> 30F
  • Footstool can now be activated by pressing any Taunt input, or by pressing two different Jump buttons simultaneously

Frees up a button slot for players with multiple Jump buttons that also had Taunt bound for footstool.

Stage Spikes

  • Techs may again be input during the entirety of the wall/ceiling bounce animation (previously only the first two frames)
  • Hitstun Multiplier after wallbounce: 0.8x -> 0.66x

Ledges

  • The airtime frame counter now increments while holding ledge
  • This matches behavior from Melee and prevents situations where it was possible to attempt a ledgedash before the character's ECB shifts upwards, causing inconsistencies for some characters

Items

Item Smashes

~ (*) Max charge time: 180F -> 60F
# Matches normal smash attacks

Beam Sword

- [-] Throw Speed Multiplier: 1.0x -> 0.85x
- [-] Horizontal Air Brake: 0.0001 -> 0.0025
#     No longer crosses an entire stage in one toss, though it is still far faster than most items
- [-] Size Multiplier (ftilt/fsmash/dash attack): 2.6/3.8/2.5x -> 1.88/2.96/2.07x
#     Hitboxes matched to reduced size
#     Total range/coverage varies because each character has a unique swing animation!
- [-] Tipper sourspot now applies to the outer 2 hitboxes
- [-] Angle (tip): 361 -> 50

Bob-omb

~ (*) Close-range tosses no longer send backwards
- [-] No longer spikes airborne opponents when speed is negative
- [-] BKB: 30 -> 20
- [-] KBG: 90 -> 75
#     Makes the toss significantly weaker at killing cross-stage, but still maintains its kill power when used in an advantageous position
#     Time-out explosions unchanged as tosses do up to 11% more, so the KB is already lower

Stages

  • General
    • Lowered filesize for several stages
  • Luigi's Mansion
    • Reverted Battlefield and Omega forms to vanilla
  • Boxing Ring
    • Reverted to vanilla

Modes

  • Changed the menu text from "Other Modes (Switch)" to "Game Modes"

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where the "R+A" button glyphs for Game Modes would not show up in the Rule Select menu
  • Fixed an issue where the Parry button would not function as expected when bound to the D-Pad

Infrastructure

For modders
  • Added Buttons::TreadJump which is on when two distinct jump buttons are on
  • Added CatHdr::TreadJump which is activated when Buttons::TreadJump is triggered while airborne
  • Updated footstool lockout to use the vanilla FIGHTER_INSTANCE_WORK_ID_INT_NO_TREAD_FRAME instead of a custom variable
  • Condensed Buttons::Parry and Buttons::ParryManual into Buttons::Parry
    • The Parry command is activated when Buttons::Guard is on and Buttons::Parry is triggered

Special Thanks

  • shun_one for new sword trails and boomerang effects

Aura

! (!) The aura damage multiplier has been rewritten to no longer impact knockback calculations for normals
#     Previously, the increase in damage dealt also factored into the knockback calculation

#     Lucario's Specials do not account for knockback, and are still buffed/nerfed by aura
! (!) Removed the aura mechanic from various normals
#     These normals do not use any aura visuals, and/or are foot attacks which don't make sense to use aura
#     Their damage multiplier will always be 1.0x, regardless of aura
