Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 67040ba12d feat: detailed building models across the city (Kenney City Kit, CC0)
Boxes with lines can't reach the requested fidelity — the city now uses
real modeled architecture, toonified into the cel style:

- Kenney City Kit Commercial (CC0, 41 GLBs) installed at
  assets/props/citykit: 13 mid-rise buildings + 5 glass skyscrapers with
  actual modeled window insets, doors, storefronts, awnings, trim and
  rooftop detail, plus parasol/awning props
- Standard + market blocks: street edges fill with seeded kit buildings
  (measured catalog drives placement, x13 scale -> 11-32m facades) over
  box colliders; Akiba signage layer (corner sign columns, glowing
  segments, roof billboards) attaches aligned to each model's bounds
- Tower blocks: kit skyscrapers (up to ~70m curtain-wall glass) on the
  walkable podium, seeded rotation, crown billboards kept
- Market blocks add cafe parasols among the stalls
- SSAO enabled + exposure recalibrated for the kit's bright albedo
  (sun 2.2 / ambient 1.7); lighter asphalt/paving to match; lighter haze

All kit meshes run through apply_toon_recursive: toon banding over the
kit textures, matching characters/weapons/VFX.

Verified: street + aerial captures (detailed facades at eye level, dense
believable skyline); movement 11/11, smoke 0, acoustics ALL PASSED.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 b0af2ea9ee feat: Akiba Crossing city — 100 blocks with unique landmarks + detail pass
Scaled the single block to a full 10x10 city grid (48m cells, 16m streets,
640m across) with a hand-authored layout so the fabric stays varied:

Block types:
- S standard retail (70%): paired parametric buildings facing the N-S
  streets, seeded heights/colors per block; ~half get a mid-block alley
  with fire-escape climbs so no two blocks play identically
- T landmark towers: 8-10 floors on a walkable retail podium, mega corner
  sign, double-sided rooftop crown billboard (skyline wayfinding)
- J shrine courtyards: walled court, torii, slide-roof hall, lanterns,
  trees — the green quiet break in the fabric
- M market streets: dense stall rows + lantern strings between low
  buildings (close-quarters cover mazes)
- P plaza cluster at the city centre with planter cover and a giant
  4-face screen tower at the exact middle (the Crossing)
- C construction sites: open slab frame to wallrun, access ramp, container
  stacks, and a 28m crane whose jib is the city's tallest grapple anchor

City systems:
- Brick rail viaduct runs the full east-west width on per-block piers with
  vending arcades under alternating arches + slide ramps at the centre
- Central avenues x=0/z=0 get matched streetlights and zebra crossings at
  every block line; brick wall rings the district; city-haze fog for depth
- Detail pass per building: window bands every floor, water tanks/antenna
  masts seeded on roofs, denser sign stacking

Perf/physics: decoration (signs, windows, leaves, lamp heads) is
render-only MeshInstances; only gameplay surfaces are static bodies, all
acoustics-tagged. Spawns distributed across block types facing centre.

Verified: full-city aerial (all 100 blocks, aligned grid), avenue-level
capture (clean canyon, viaduct vista); movement 11/11, smoke 0 failures,
acoustics ALL PASSED.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 a7fa7f207c feat: Akiba Crossing — parametric Akihabara rebuild of the urban map
Complete new approach after the hand-placed layout shipped misaligned:
every element now derives from a street grid and its building's footprint,
so alignment is structural, not luck.

District structure (modeled on Akihabara's Chuo-dori / Denki-gai / JR
viaduct):
- 16m avenue flanked by continuous mid-rise rows; buildings defined ONLY
  by z-interval + floor count (4m quantized floors), packed edge-to-edge
- _building() derives everything from the footprint: parapet lips on the
  roof rim, inset glass storefront, sidewalk canopy, stacked per-floor
  sign bands, a solid vertical corner sign column with glowing segments,
  evenly spaced roof AC units, rooftop billboard on 4+ floor buildings
- Brick rail viaduct crosses the whole block on piers with an under-track
  vending arcade; sidewalk-aligned slide ramps with handrails reach the
  deck on both flanks
- Denki-gai alley cut through both rows (wallrun walls + fire escape
  platforms climbing per floor); red SEGA-style landmark + blue
  electronics building anchor the north corners
- Matched streetlight pairs every 16m with arms over the road; zebra
  crossings at the alley mouth and south block; spawns on sidewalks/deck
  facing the map center

Movement: viaduct high lane + roof-hop onto the 2-floor row, canopy lane
above each sidewalk, alley wallruns + fire escapes, grapple anchors on
lamp arms / sign columns / viaduct edge / billboards, slide ramps.

Acoustics: facades concrete, storefronts glass, canopies wood, viaduct
brick, signs/AC/vending/lights/escapes metal.

Renamed in the level selector: "Akiba Crossing". Verified via aerial and
street captures (aligned rows, clean canyon, viaduct framing); movement
11/11, smoke 0 failures, acoustics ALL PASSED.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 233f88aee3 feat: full cel treatment for Neon Alley — flat toon colors + ink outlines
- LevelMaterials.flat(): toon-banded FLAT color material (no greybox grid
  texture) for dressed maps; cached per tint, rim/spec off
- Neon Alley overrides _box_static: every structure renders flat cel color;
  prop-scale pieces (<10m) get an inverted-hull ink outline scaled to their
  size. Building-scale boxes skip the hull — the inflated plates smear into
  black voids at close range (found via fixed street-camera capture)
- Pylon wires render as flat ink lines; warmer wood + hotter vermilion for
  flat shading (the grid multiply used to brighten tints)
- visual_capture: deterministic street-level shot after the aerial for
  style comparisons

Street capture now reads properly BoomerangX: flat lavender asphalt, hard
light bands, torii framed down the underpass, neon strips + sign glow.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 0813d0b40d feat: Neon Alley — urban-Japan movement map built on the acoustic materials
New map (scenes/maps/neon_alley/, auto-appears in the level selectors):

Layout for movement flow:
- Main N-S street = the long sightline, crossed by a pedestrian bridge
  (slide ramps up both ends, underpass cover below, railed high ground)
- West machiya row: wooden two-story houses with a jump route
  (awning -> balcony -> roof deck) and 25-degree slide roofs facing the street
- East concrete towers with glass storefronts; brick wallrun alley between
  them (AC units to vault); metal fire-escape platform route to the roofs;
  angled rooftop billboard as cover + grapple anchor
- Three power pylons with crossarms over the street chain a grapple route;
  the torii gate crossbeam at the north shrine plaza is a fourth anchor
- South market: wooden stalls with neon canopies + metal vending machines
  = scattered mid cover; shipping container corner piece
- Spawns ring the block and face the map center

Acoustics as level design: every surface is tagged (machiya/stalls/torii
wood, towers concrete, storefronts glass, alley+perimeter brick, escapes/
AC/rails/container metal) so occlusion tells you which structure a shot
came through and reflections differ per street.

Style: sunset sky + fixed dusk-lavender ambient (calibrated for the toon
shader's 1/PI light response), warm low sun, neon sign columns, shop signs,
lantern strings, billboard glow, underpass strip lights.

Verified: aerial + street-level + third-person captures; movement 11/11,
smoke 0 failures, acoustics ALL PASSED.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 a51595e3b9 feat: material-aware sound occlusion + early reflections for localization
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.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 44460b52ae fix: exactly one bang per bullet — cut bursts and range echoes from gun audio
The library's master sheet revealed the primary AK-47 sample (C_27P) was a
full-auto LONG BURST, and two other slots used burst takes (C_34P, P_22P) —
one trigger pull audibly played several rounds. Beyond that, the single-shot
recordings carry outdoor-range slap-back echoes arriving as discrete pops at
~0.23s/0.33s/0.45s, which also read as extra shots.

- All fire sounds rebuilt from sheet-verified SINGLE-shot takes only
  (AK-47 gets C_28/C_31 + same-caliber SKS as third variation; MP7 gets
  single PPSh takes + Walther PPQ 9mm)
- Every sample now ends before the first echo can play: full level through
  the crack (~0.145s), faded out by 0.21s (times scale with pitch rate)
- Verified with silencedetect: every fire WAV is a single transient with
  no mid-file re-attacks

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 0155bcdf04 fix: tighten gun audio timing and replace off-character sounds
- 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.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 a9b0775de3 feat: real gunshots, localized 3D audio, seamless music, better animations
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.

Nicholas ButzkeandClaude Fable 5 6c8b0ddd28 feat: cel-shaded look & feel overhaul — real audio, comic UI, themed VFX
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.
