The weapon dips down-and-inward with a roll when a reload starts, holds
through the reload, and rises as it completes — driven by the weapon's
actual reload_timer so the motion always matches the reload duration.
Complements the reload ring UI and the third-person reload clip.
Smoke 0 failures, movement 11/11.

New Acoustics system (globals/acoustics.gd):
- Occlusion: rays from listener to source collect up to 3 occluding bodies;
each surface's material adds transmission loss and lowers the lowpass
cutoff. A gunshot through wood stays warm (-8dB, 1.4kHz), brick muffles
hard (-15dB, 600Hz), concrete harder (-18dB, 450Hz), metal keeps more
highs (-11dB, 1kHz), glass barely muffles (-5dB, 2.6kHz). Applied via
each AudioStreamPlayer3D's attenuation filter.
- Early reflections: loud sounds (gunfire, explosions) probe 8 directions
for nearby walls; each close surface plays a quiet, delayed (path/343ms),
material-filtered copy from the mirror point — shots audibly slap back
off structures so players can triangulate. Sub-30ms echoes are skipped
(they perceptually merge with the direct sound).
- Surface classification: builder-set acoustic_material meta -> node-name
keywords -> metallic-material inference -> concrete default; cached.
Integration:
- AudioManager.play_3d applies occlusion at fire time and re-filters all
playing positional sounds every 0.12s (walking behind a wall mid-sound
audibly muffles it); flight loops opt in via "acoustic_occluded" group
- Remote players' gunshots were entirely SILENT — rpc_play_fire_effects now
plays the right weapon's shot at the shooter's position, occluded and
reflected like everything else
- Remote players' footsteps were also silent — now positional + occluded,
cadence scaled to their speed
- Test level tagged: brick arena walls, wooden platforms/obstacles, metal
wall-run corridor/rails/dash platforms; dust2 sandstone reads as brick
Tests: debug/acoustics_test.gd (12 checks: per-material loss ordering,
multi-wall stacking, reflection delay/filter, name classification) — all
pass; movement 11/11; smoke 0 failures.

- Gunshots: strip lead-in silence from every firearm recording (the audible
delay between trigger and bang) and hard-trim to a single 0.7s crack with
a fast fade — the outdoor-range echo read as 2-3 extra shots. Big single
shots (AWP/shotgun/rocket/mortar) keep a 1s tail but still one boom.
- Hit confirm: short fleshy punch thock instead of the bell ("taco bell")
- Dash: clean synthesized air whoosh (bandpassed pink noise swell) instead
of thruster fire crackle; grapple shoot inherits it
- Jump: push-off foot scuff + faint whoosh instead of the balloon boing
- Wind speed-loop: deep lowpass so it reads as rushing air, not fire
- Grenade: silent in flight — the rocket-engine loop made it sound like it
was burning; bounces still audible
Verified: reimport + smoke test 0 failures, 11/11 movement tests.

Audio:
- All ballistic weapons now fire real firearm recordings (The Free Firearm
Sound Library, CC0): AK-47 uses actual AK-47 shots, M4=AR-15, MP7=PPSh,
AWP=Mosin Nagant, DMR=Savage 10, shotgun=Mossberg/Nova, nailgun=Ruger .22,
rocket/mortar layered with real booms. Plasma keeps its energy sound.
- Reload is real lever-action foley instead of interface clicks
- Projectile flight loops localized: unit_size 50->6, max_db 6->0,
max_distance 45 — no more mortar/rocket drone in every player's ear;
loops also got proper loop_end (was a zero-length loop)
- Flight loops lowpassed into soft whooshes instead of sci-fi engine drones
- Menu music converted to OGG with native full-track looping (47s seamless,
replaces the broken manual WAV loop points)
Animations (movement-shooter pass):
- Rebaked miku.glb with 4 new clips from the CC0 library: Grapple (swim
reach — reads as a swing), PistolIdle (armed idle with weapon up),
PistolShoot, PistolReload
- Armed idle: standing with a weapon now uses PistolIdle instead of
arms-at-sides
- Slide pose overhaul: legs kick out front (lead/trail thighs, knees
straighten) — feet-first slide instead of "sitting in a crouch"
- Wall run: forward drive pitch + inner arm reaches out to the wall
- Per-transition blend times: dash/hit/jump cut fast (0.05-0.08s),
locomotion cross-fades smoothly (0.2-0.25s); CrouchWalk speed-scales
Fixes:
- Third-person camera no longer renders the first-person viewmodel layer
(the gun/arms floated in front of the third-person view)
Verified: 11/11 movement tests, smoke test 0 failures (17 clips resolved),
third-person run screenshot shows grounded animated model, no floating gun.

Audio (all CC0 — Kenney packs + OpenGameArt, see assets/sounds/SOURCES.md):
- Replace every procedural synth WAV with forged sounds (ffmpeg pitch/layer
mixes): distinct fire sounds per weapon with 2-3 variations, explosions,
footsteps x5, land/jump/dash/vault, knife swing, hit/kill confirms,
bullet impacts, reload, flight loops, UI hover/click/confirm/error,
match jingles, menu music
- AudioManager.stream_for(): AudioStreamRandomizer per sound id — every
weapon now gets variation + pitch randomization on each shot
- Explosions and bullet impacts play positional audio; landing has its own
sound instead of a pitched footstep; ambient wind bed on every map
Visuals:
- ExplosionVFX: shared cel-shaded burst (white-hot stepped core, ink
shockwave ring, star spikes, flat smoke puffs) replaces the orange
sphere in both local and remote-replay paths
- Comic star muzzle flashes on all weapons; unified cel tracer bolts with
ink outlines across hitscan/shotgun/remote paths
- Impact decals: hard-stepped ink-splat gradients instead of soft airbrush
- Toon shading on first-person view models + arms, third-person weapons,
and the procedural humanoid fallback (no hull outlines on FBX weapons —
their hard normals tear the inverted hull)
- Fix: giant soft "blob" highlight on floors — toon rim/specular disabled
on level-geometry materials (pre-existing artifact since the cel commit)
- Fix: own third-person weapon rendered into the first-person camera
(shadows-only now covers first_person_mode)
UI:
- UITheme: comic theme on the root window — Bangers display font (OFL),
paper panels with thick ink borders + hard drop shadows, papaya accent,
themed buttons/inputs/popups; hover/click sounds on all menu buttons
- Main menu: tilted comic wordmark, sunset toon diorama, looping menu music
- Match HUD: themed scoreboard/killfeed/kill counter
Viewports:
- 4x MSAA project-wide + viewmodel/diorama viewports (crisp ink lines)
- Viewmodel camera near plane 0.01; third-person camera FOV syncs settings
- debug/visual_capture.gd: dev tool to screenshot menu + level for review
Verified: 11/11 movement tests, spawn smoke test 0 failures, before/after
screenshot comparison of menu and level.

Character pipeline (tools/):
- sketchfab_import.py: search/download via Sketchfab Download API with
license/attribution tracking (SKETCHFAB_API_TOKEN)
- autorig.py: headless Blender auto-rig — fits a Mixamo-named skeleton
to unrigged humanoids, binds automatic weights
- merge_animations.py: merges the shared Mixamo-skeleton animation
library onto any rigged character, strips root motion, canonical names
- pipeline.py: one command chains download -> rig -> animate -> register
In-game skin system:
- SkinManager autoload reads skins.json (auto-written by the pipeline)
- SkinnedPlayerModel rewritten: canonical clips with fallback chains,
blend times, speed-scaled locomotion, weapon bone attachment
- First-person: full animated body for the owner, head hidden via
SkeletonModifier3D; third-person: full model for other players
- Skin selector in main menu; skin id synced in multiplayer
- Fixed GLBLoader crash (GLTFDocument.get_animation_count doesn't exist)
Multiplayer sync overhaul:
- Movement is now client-authoritative: the owning peer simulates
locally (no input round-trip), server keeps health/kills/death
- Remote players interpolate synced_position/velocity with
extrapolation and snap-on-teleport
- Knockback/impulses routed to the simulating peer
Audio:
- AudioManager autoload: SFX/Weapons/Footsteps/UI/Music buses, pooled
3D players, variation + pitch randomization, auto-registration from
assets/sounds
Docs: 3D_ASSET_PIPELINE.md rewritten end-to-end, new ASSET_SOURCES.md
(non-procedural animation/map/sound sources) and SOUND_DESIGN.md.
Verified with debug/spawn_smoke_test.gd (headless: 24/24 checks pass).
