  • Deals continuous damage while healing the vampire

Changed

• Code Quality: ChatFormatting - Replaced all § section symbol color codes with proper ChatFormatting enum

  • Affected files: OriginCommand, OriginEventHandler, SelectOriginPacket, FoodEventHandler, HudConfigScreen, RadialMenuScreen
  • Uses .withStyle() and .append() for multi-colored Component messages
  • More maintainable, type-safe, and IDE-friendly

• Unicode Symbol Rendering - OriginHudOverlay now uses UnicodeFontHandler.getSymbol() for proper fallback

  • Automatically falls back to ASCII if Unicode symbol can't be rendered

• Config Split - Configuration now separated into two files:

  • veil_origins-common.toml - Gameplay settings (cooldowns, damage, abilities, sizes)
  • veil_origins-client.toml - Client-side HUD/display settings

• Translation Keys - Added translation keys for all config options for localization support

Fixed

HUD Config Screen

• Fixed background rendering above buttons - Corrected render order so widgets display on top of background
• Fixed Unicode minus symbol not rendering - Changed −10 (U+2212) to ASCII -10

Config Loading Crash

• Fixed crash on startup: "Cannot get config value before config is loaded"
  • Root cause: onLoad handler tried to access both COMMON and CLIENT config values when only one was loaded
  • Now checks which config spec is being loaded and only accesses values from that config

Multiplayer Origin Synchronization

• Fixed non-host players unable to use origin abilities (R and V keybinds) in multiplayer
  • Root cause: Origin data was not being synced from server to client for non-host players
  • SyncOriginDataPacket.handle() now properly updates the client-side origin cache
  • Added VeilOriginsAPI.setPlayerOriginClient() for client-side cache updates without triggering server-side passives
  • Sync packets are now sent:
    • When a player logs in
    • When a player respawns
    • When a player selects or changes their origin
    • When origin is set/reset via commands
  • Added periodic resource bar sync (every 1 second) to keep HUD accurate
  • Non-host players can now see their origin HUD elements and use all abilities
