Hi, Toribash 5.5 is now out of beta and available for everyone!



What is new in Toribash 5.5:

• New type of grabs - rotatable and can be broken
  
  Grip mode can be changed via gamerules menu (CTRL + G). Manual commands are /set grabmode and /set tearthreshold.
  
  • New grabs allow rotating whatever you're grabbing compared to fixed default grabs
    
  • Tear threshold is used to determine how much force is required to break the grab (0 is disabled)
    
  • Grab breaking depends on force direction - it's easier to break a grab when you're pulling something away and almost impossible when pushing
  
  
• Advanced ghost with customizable speed and length
  
  Ghost settings can be modified in gamerules menu. Manual commands are /set ghostspeed and /set ghostlength. To revert back to default ghost, use /set ghostcustom 0.
  
  • Ghost speed can be set from 0.1x to 5x
    
  • Ghost length can be set from 10 to 500 frames
  
  Using new grabs or ghosts in multiplayer will make the room unavailable for players on older versions of Toribash.
  
  
  
  
  
• New gamerules menu
  
  • Only relevant settings are displayed (e.g. grab mode is only displayed when grabs toggle is checked)
    
  • Some setting names have been updated to be easier to understand
    
  • Settings that only allow specific values are now displayed as dropdowns or sliders
  
  
  
• New flame forger (CTRL + L)
  
  • Preview up to 5 flames at once
    
  • General flame forging prices have been lowered and now depend on more flame parameters (meaning simple flames will be even cheaper)
    
  • New "relative gravity" setting to apply gravity relatively to bodypart your flame is linked to
    
  • If you already have flames equipped, they'll be initially loaded in forger with proper settings
    
  • Ability to forge flames directly from game client
    
  • Ability to save flames for future spawning
    
  • Ability to minimize flame forger without unloading flames (ctrl + shift + L)
  
  
  
• New flame browser (access via flame forger)
  
  • View any existing flame by its ID
    
  • View general info about the flame - who and when forged it, how much did it cost, who currently owns it
    
  • Search for flames by their name / forger / current owner
  
  
  
• Other minor updates
  
  • Multi-key search in replays menu
    
  • Updated visuals on error messages
    
  • New "/set curtf" command to modify current fight's turn frames while in single player
    
  • High DPI mode for Apple devices (requires Retina screen) - can be toggled from Graphics tab in Settings
    
  • Minimum screen resolution has been increased to 768x480
    
  • Allow loading mods without specifying .tbm at the end
    
  • Downloads should now be faster
  
  
  
• Bug fixes
  
  • Fixed win points not counting damage dealt from dismembers or fractures
    
  • Fixed damage threshold not scaling on heavy hits
    
  • Fixed joint position sometimes being displayed at a wrong position when it's linked to a rotated bodypart
    
  • Fixed a bug that could cause crashes when loading a mod with a motd

• Ability to store flame designs to load and forge later
  
• Ability to minimize flame forger without unloading flames (hotkey is ctrl + shift + L)
  
• Reordered flame forger's gravity settings list so that relative gravity and relative velocity go next to their respective main settings
  
• Added proper text descriptions on flame forging errors

Other updates and fixes:

• Fixed a bug that could cause crashes when loading a mod with a motd

Best of luck and have fun!

We took some inspiration from Calamity's Finish It Challenge! to bring you an event that will get those creative juices flowing.
You will have until November 8th to create a head texture, and as there is no set style other than the provided sketch, you'll have full artistic freedom yet again!
The person who creates the head that best fits the judging criteria receives prizes, but don't worry, if you don't make it out on top there will be several honorable mentions. Now lets get to drawing everyone!

We do still have rules that are to be followed. Keep in mind we may not judge your art if it doesn't follow ALL of these rules.

• You are required to use the sketch provided at the bottom of this announcement.
  
• You must use ALL of the sketch, but you're allowed to break up the lines that are not separated as well if needed.
  
• You must show proof that you used and kept the original line-work provided. (Ex. Drawing over them with a visible color.)
  
• You are allowed to mirror the line-work, but you're only required to show the original line-work.
  
• No plagiarism, this isn't tolerated at all and is severely punishable.
  
• Do not submit old or premade textures.
  
• A rough sketch or WIP is required to prove that it is a head in progress and not a premade head that you are reposting.
  
• Collaborations are allowed, however in this scenario prizes will be split.
  
• Only one submission is allowed, which also means no alts used to submit two different heads. If you're collaborating with another artist, you can only submit that head.
  
• Submissions must be in 512x512 resolution or higher.
  
• Post watermarked flats in event thread with spherical previews. It would be much appreciated if you used Toribash Textures for 3D previews.
  
• If you aren't using Toribash Textures, ensure to make your previews clear, show all aspects of your head and attempt to keep watermarks somewhat non-intrusive while still being effective.

The winner will receive the following:

• 2048x1024 Head Texture item
  
• 7 Shiai Tokens
  
• 75,000 Toricredits

The winners of the honourable mentions prize will receive the following:

• 512x512 Head Texture item
  
• 3 Shiai Tokens
  
• 25,000 Toricredits
