Core stats & progression

22 October 2025

Biggest systems update yet! Here’s what landed in this slice:

Core stats & progression

• StatsModel v3 now tracks TotalXP, OverflowXP, HP/MP vitals, and derives MaxHP/MaxMP from BaseStatsConf defaults (100/100 base with +2.5× VIT/INT). Level-ups auto-heal by default with a config toggle.
• StatsSerialization picks up every new v3 field, including current HP/MP, so saves reflect combat readiness.
• StatsManager loads the XP table JSON, binds the QueryLevel model, backfills lifetime XP, and enforces level caps and titles.

Save system

• PlayerSaveData v3 ships alongside a SaveService migration that upgrades legacy files, mirrors defaults into user://, and keeps the new stat fields intact.

Player & combat feel

• Player.cs walk animation only plays with live movement input while grounded; attack states now override walk/idle cleanly, preventing walk-while-attack desyncs and snapping back correctly.
• Maintains one-way platform drop-through, jump buffer, and coyote-time helpers.
• Hooks HUD, StatsUI, and InventoryUI into live stats data.
• Adds /!player restore console command to instantly refill HP/MP.

UI/UX polish

• StatsUI & InventoryUI become draggable windows with persisted positions and a 50px offscreen allowance to avoid awkward clamping.
• ChatUI gets refactored node exports for the same behavior with tidier bindings.
• PlayerHudUI scaffold arrives: portrait, level label, HP/MP texture bars, and live value labels wired to StatsModel updates.

Enemies & physics

• Dave.cs now defers per-animation hurtbox updates to dodge “flushing queries” errors while tightening idle/hurt/down/recover/despawn flow, plus anchored blink and name tag visuals.

Commands & QoL

• Console expands with /!give, /!xp add, /!tp, /!getpos, /!add stat, /!sub stat, /!reset stats, alongside the new /!player restore.
