Upstream replaced RayTraceApi/RayTraceImpl with CounterStrikeSharp's own Trace API
(CSS 1.0.375), so RayTrace-MM and RayTrace-CSS-API are no longer needed. Also brings the
CS2 1.41.8.3 gamedata fixes and the No Recoil, Long Zeus, Long Knife, Fragile Bomb and
Tripwire fixes.
Kept from this fork: Panorama skill card and target menu (PanoramaManager), css_setoverride,
WASDMenuAPI removed, no tracked "Server Files" build output. Version 1.2.4.b3-panorama1.
#### Compatibility
* **CounterStrikeSharp v1.0.375** - after the CS2 update, RayTraceImpl stopped working. All traces now use CounterStrikeSharp's native `Trace` API, so **RayTrace-CSS-API and RayTrace-MM are no longer required**. `RayTraceApi.dll` was removed from the project and the Ray-Trace step was removed from the README install guide.
* **Gamedata** - CS2 1.41.8.3 broke the Windows `HEGrenadeProjectile_CreateFunc`, `CMolotovProjectile_CreateFunc` and `SnapViewAngles` signatures, and the Linux `SmokeGrenadeProjectile_CreateFunc` signature. `INetworkGameServer_Slots` moved from 584 to 616 on both platforms; the old value read a garbage size and pointer without throwing. All signatures now match exactly one function on both platforms, and the offsets were confirmed at runtime.
#### Skills
* **No Recoil** - the client received `weapon_accuracy_nospread`, but the server still applied spread, so the crosshair looked straight while bullets spread. The weapon's spread and inaccuracy values are now also zeroed on the server for that tick. Weapon data is shared per weapon type, so a weapon type is only patched while no other living player holds the same type; the values are restored on the next tick, at map end and on unload.
* **Long Zeus** - kills went through suicide, so they did not count as Zeus kills and the ragdoll was marked `world`. The suicide damage is now rewritten to the attacker's Zeus with shock damage, so the engine credits the kill natively (killfeed, kill sound, scoreboard, ragdoll). The victim's body also gets the electric shock effect, which the engine only plays on real Taser hits.
* **Long Knife** - long-range slashes now draw a tracer to where they hit.
* **Fragile Bomb** - the bomb position was only stored by the `bomb_planted` event, which is sent only to skills active at that moment, so receiving the skill after the plant never detected hits. The planted bomb is now looked up when needed. Hits were also measured from the impact point, so shots passing through the bomb and landing behind it were missed; the bullet's path is now checked instead.
* **Tripwire** - wires stayed visible after the skill changed. Beams were hidden from clients in the same tick they were cleared, so the "hide" update never reached the client. Beams are no longer hidden from clients before removal.
#### Reliability
* **Skill distribution** - an exception thrown during skill assignment aborted the round's distribution silently. It is now caught, logged and retried. Spectators without a pawn no longer count as connected players, which had caused unnecessary retries.
Drop the csproj Copy* targets and the directory's .gitignore entry. release.sh now assembles a
single tarball laid out like game/csgo/ (plugin, gamedata, compiled Panorama layouts) straight from
the build output and sources; updater.json points at it.
"jRandomSkills - Server Files" is now gitignored build output; releases carry the built plugin.
The GeoLite2 country database moves to "jRandomSkills - SRC Files/packages" and a new
CopyPackagesToServer target copies it into the build output. The shipped configs are dropped:
the plugin writes config.json and skillsInfo.json itself when they are missing.
- Skill card and W/S/E target menu drawn as CCSCustomHudLayout panels via PanoramaManager
(panorama/ sources), replacing PrintToCenterHtml and WASDMenuAPI; WASDMenuAPI.dll dropped
- Custom status lines (cooldowns, charges) overwrite the description on the card; Medic keeps its
description with the charge count below
- css_setoverride toggles a per-player cooldown bypass
- YourSkillChatInfo also gates the round-start skill description in chat
- Language: "[css_useSkill]" becomes the configured button name, "Press ... key" wording,
welcome message trimmed to its first line
- Build against CounterStrikeSharp.API 1.0.375
- #### Fixes
- **Pyro** - Fire damage killed the holder at low health. The regeneration now runs before the damage is applied instead of after.
- **Iana** - The clone did not absorb a lethal hit, same cause as Pyro.
- **Dracula** - Lifesteal used the raw damage, so an AWP headshot healed for 400. It is now capped to the health the victim actually had, works on the killing blow, and can no longer leave the attacker alive at 0 HP.
- **RobinHood** - Stolen money used the raw damage and a hardcoded 16000 cap. It is now capped to the victim's real health, works on the killing blow, and respects `mp_maxmoney`. The victim loses exactly what the attacker gains.
- **Voodoo** - Reflected damage used the raw damage, now capped to the victim's real health.
- **Config** - The `Rifle`, `Pistol` and `Grenade` weapon pools grew every time the config was loaded, so removed weapons came back on the next start.
- **Use button** - Skills no longer trigger when a CT presses `Use` while looking at a planted C4, so the skill key no longer competes with the defuse key.
- #### Other
- Built against CounterStrikeSharp 1.0.373.
## GENERAL
- Added a css_entity admin command to check whether an entity with a given index/handle exists (prints the designer name to chat or console).
- Added a TakeDamage post-hook (OnTakeDamagePost) alongside the existing pre-hook, so skills can now react after damage has actually been applied, not just before.
- Added CreateMolotovProjectile (new CMolotovProjectile_CreateFunc signature) and CreateTrackedChicken entity helpers.
- Added a weapon_mp7 → weapon_mp5sd fallback mapping.
- Added class for KillfeedIcons
## SKILL IMPROVEMENTS
- Aimbot:
-- Only forces a headshot hitgroup once (skips if it's already a head or an invalid hitgroup), and now restores the original hitgroup value in the new post-damage hook instead of leaving it overwritten.
- Tripwire:
-- Reduced the default wire width from 1.5 to 0.7.
## NEW SKILLS:
- Berserker: You deal more damage and move faster as your health gets lower.
- Blast Shot: Press Attack2 with the MP5 to fire an HE grenade.
- Demon Eye: You deal damage to every enemy you are looking at.
- Fire Rain: Throw a decoy to call down a rain of Molotovs.
- Flashlight: Click [css_useSkill] to turn the flashlight on or off; its light can blind enemies.
- Healing Chicken: Your chickens heal you while you are nearby.
- Jetkick: Select a player to jetkick - every shot they fire knocks them backwards until disabled.
- Last Gasp: After you die, you deal damage to the enemy who killed you.
- Take Ammo: Click [css_useSkill] to take the active weapon's magazine from a random enemy.
- Team Teleport: Press [css_useSkill] to teleport to the teammate you're looking at.
- Treat null GameRules as "not ready" so skills are never assigned during
warmup right after plugin load/hot-reload (SetSkill + RoundStart)
- PerfLog writes a header line on first measurement so the perf file
appears immediately when PerfMode is active
