MaskFixes

Mask Fixes

Fixes a bunch of small issues with mask items and "masked" enemies.

I recommend pairing this with Enemy Sound Fixes to (optionally) adjust their footstep volume to match real players.

List of Changes

Reduced lag spike from Masked upon spawning in mineshafts

• Whenever a Masked spawns, its AI would call an expensive search function (to find the mineshaft's elevator script)
• This search is unnecessary because there is a global variable already pointing to the elevator.
• Now Masked AI references that global variable.

Fixed buggy roaming behavior from Masked AI

• Roaming Masked have a tendency to get stuck going in/out of the entrance on the surface every ~3 seconds.
• In mineshafts, roaming Masked also have trouble using the elevators, and will sometimes get stuck in a loop going up and down nonstop.
• Both of these behaviors have been fixed. Masked will now consistently wander outside the building, and wander inside mineshafts without issues.
• My patch can be disabled in the config, since it will likely conflict with any other mods that change Masked AI
• The patch is auto-disabled when SmartEnemyPathfinding is installed, which has better support for modded interiors/moons

Fixed player conversion by Masked attacks

• In vanilla, mimics that are spawned by Masked vomiting onto players do not synchronize correctly in multiplayer.
• The host will see the new mimic wearing that player's suit, while all other players will see the default orange suit.
• Only the host will be able to watch the new mimic on the cameras. All other players will see the killed player disappear from radar.
• If the player was killed outside, the new mimic will be unable to attack anybody except the host. This issue only disappears once the mimic enters the building.
• All of these issues have been fixed.
• As a side effect, this will also make players drop their items when they get converted - but this is more consistent with the behavior from wearing mask items

Fixed incomplete appearance of costumes

• When a player wearing the bunny or bee suit is converted into a Masked, its suit would be missing "attachments" like the bunny ears or bee antennae.
• Masked always wore the "Intern" badge on their suit, regardless of the rank of the player they were mimicking.
• This also applies to the "V.I.P. Employee" badge, but as of v81 this is currently being displayed on all players.
• If the player they copied was covered in blood decals (from taking damage), those would not appear on the Masked.
• On challenge moons where the orange suit is unavailable, natural Masked still always spawn wearing it.
• There is also a bug that would sometimes cause Masked to turn invisible and spam errors in console.
• I'm not sure if this is specifically a vanilla bug, or something related to a mod like More Company (with the cosmetics)
• All of the above has been fixed.

Restored the "blood spillage" effect from v45-49

• When a Masked grabs a player, it "converts" them by vomiting blood into their face.
• Before v50, there was a visual effect during this animation that showed blood spilling into your helmet.
• This was removed in vanilla because (presumably) it had a tendency to get stuck on your screen forever, if you were rescued from the Masked before death.
• This has been fixed.

Fixed all instances of masks using wrong assets

• When Comedy gets stuck to your face, it would transform into a Tragedy mask.
• Tragedy masks worn by players used Comedy's textures, which noticeably misalign with the mesh.
• Tragedy Masked were intended to cry like the item does, but they were silent in vanilla due to a networking bug.

Fixed some problems with Masked after death

• Masked no longer spin on the radar, becoming stationary like all other enemies.
• Masked no longer laugh or cry after being killed.
• This is somewhat subjective, but masks are silent if attached to a player corpse (such as when putting a mask on at Gordion), and this makes them more cons
