Version 1.6.0 - HrdaValorant Assets, Full English, Working Maps

Date : June 20, 2026

Status : READY TO BUILD

---

1. HrdaValorant resource pack integration

• New assets/VCAssets registry mapping every agent and weapon to the exact vanilla item + custom_model_data shipped by the HrdaValorant 5.0 pack (modern range_dispatch item-model format, MC 1.21.4+).
• Weapons now render their pack models (Classic, Ghost, Spectre, Vandal, Operator, Sheriff, Ares...) instead of generic swords.
• New assets/ResourcePackListener auto-applies the pack on join when a download URL is configured in config.yml (resource_pack.*).

2. Agent selection menu driven by the pack (15 agents)

• New data-driven AgentCatalog + AgentRole: Jett, Phoenix, Raze, Iso, Sova, KAY/O, Gekko, Omen, Brimstone, Viper, Clove, Sage, Killjoy, Chamber, Vyse — each with its real pack icon, role, colour and ability summary.
• Rebuilt AgentSelectorGUI: 54-slot menu grouped by role, pack icons, glow on the selected agent. Selection is resolved through a persistent-data tag (robust to colours/translations) instead of parsing the display name.
• All 15 agents now have full coded ability kits (C / Q / E / X). Shared helpers were added to the Agent base class (team checks, cooldown gate, aim/targeting, damage/heal, flashes, hazard zones, temporary walls, projectiles) so every kit is consistent. New agents: Phoenix, Raze, Iso, KAY/O, Gekko, Brimstone, Viper, Clove, Killjoy, Chamber, Vyse.

3. Working map configuration system

• Map data now lives in its own maps.yml (was sharing arenas.yml with the ArenaManager, which silently wiped map data on every arena save).
• MapData.toArena() bridges a configured map to the game loop, so map spawns and spike sites actually drive the match.
• Rebuilt /map command set (English): create, delete, list, info, reload, tp, setspawn, clearspawns, setsite, setbuyzone, setsafezone, pos1, pos2, addbarrier, removebarrier, play. Barriers now use a real pos1/pos2 corner selection. /map play <id> [force] starts a real match on the map.
• Fixed the agent-selection -> auto-start flow (the WAITING phase was a dead end because startGame bailed unless state was IDLE).

4. Full English translation

• 100% of in-game/user-facing text translated to English: menus, commands, HUD/scoreboard/tablist, economy, shop, spike, killfeed, MVP, surrender, agents, anti-cheat, and the social system (clans / parties / friends).
• config.yml and plugin.yml translated; agent permission nodes added for all 15 agents.
