## GENERAL
- The HUD loop now runs on the shared 16 Hz frame gate (SkillUtils.IsHudFrame) instead of keeping its own every-other-tick schedule, and fifteen skills that were refreshing their HUD on every single tick were moved onto that same gate.
- Added SkillData.GetSnapshot(), a cached array of the registered skills, so the HUD no longer copies the whole skill bag every frame. The cache is invalidated together with the existing lookup map, so a reload still picks up new skills.
- Added SkillUtils.ForceFullUpdateToAllChunked(), which spreads a full network update across frames (two clients per frame) instead of pushing one for every connected client in a single tick. The original ForceFullUpdateToAll is untouched, so the six skills that already call it keep their current behaviour.
- BlastShot, Cypher and Iana now clear their HUD line in DisableSkill, so a stale line can no longer survive the skill being taken away.
## FIXES
- SoundMaker threw a divide-by-zero on every tick when its cooldown was configured as 0, because the tick gate divides by that value. The cooldown is now clamped to at least 1.
- Regeneration and RadarHack were calling the wrong SkillsInfo.DefaultSkillInfo overload, which silently dropped disableOnFreezeTime, requiredPermission, hudDuration, descriptionHudDuration, maxPerServer and rarity. Every configured field now reaches the base class, so those two skills finally honour their own config.
- Falcon Eye blocked the trigger on the wrong side of the check: picking up a weapon while back in the normal view locked primary and secondary fire, because the pickup handler tested for the player being in their own view instead of in the skill camera.
- Spectator locked primary and secondary fire when its camera could not be created at all, which happens when no enemy is alive to spectate. The player stayed in the normal view with a weapon that would not fire until the round ended.
## SKILL IMPROVEMENTS
- Wallhack:
-- The glow build and the full network update now start when freeze time ends and are spread across frames, instead of running in a single tick the moment the skill is handed out. On a busy server this used to cost roughly 13 ms in one frame, close to a dropped tick at 64 tick; across four grants in an eight-hour session it no longer reaches the 2 ms profiler threshold at all.
- Jackal:
-- CheckTransmit resolves the trail relays once per frame rather than once per viewer, so the same entity lookups are no longer repeated for every client on the server.
-- Removed an opponent list that was gathered in EnableSkill and never used.
- ThrowingKnife:
-- CheckTransmit builds the knife glow list once per frame, and the viewer index is resolved once per client instead of once per knife.
- Glaz:
-- The observer target is only resolved for players who do not own the skill themselves, and the lookup now bails out early when there is no observer target at all.
- RadarHack and QuickShot:
-- The skill check runs before the validity check, so players without the skill are skipped immediately instead of being fully validated first.
- Distancer, HealingChicken and SoundMaker:
-- These now return straight away while nobody holds the skill, rather than walking the player list every tick.
## DEBUG
- Removed the [HITGROUP] mismatch check. Every recorded case was accounted for: ten were Aimbot rewriting the hit group as designed, and thirteen were non-bullet skill damage, which reports a generic hit group by nature. Dropping the check also removes a dictionary write from every damage event.
- Removed the identity-split tag from the damage log. It was dead by construction, because the victim controller had already been routed before the comparison ran, so it could never report a difference.
- Removed the player-shoot handler, which produced no output on this build.
- [DMG] lines now print the routing fields only when the routed index actually differs from the original one, so the check remains as a tripwire without adding noise to every line.
## TRANSLATIONS
- Turkish: reworded sixty-two entries that padded their sentences with second-person verb endings, dropped the English glosses left in parentheses, and settled every [css_useSkill] line into one shape. Also fixed genuine typos in Dracula, Giant, Thorns and Impostor.
- All eight languages received the strings for the four new skills. (AI)
## NEW SKILLS:
- Chameleon: The first player you kill gives you their skill.
- Grapple Hook: Press [css_useSkill] to fire a hook at the point you are aiming at and pull yourself there.
- Inheritance: When a teammate dies you can take over their skill.
- Ricochet: Your bullets bounce off walls and can still hit enemies.
## Added
- **`CurseSkillPerPlayer`** (config.json) — limits how many curse skills (Darkness, JumpBan, PrimaryBan, Bankrupt and 14 others) can be stacked on a single player per round. `null` = unlimited (default), `1` = one curse per player, `2` = two. When the limit is reached the target is rejected and the curser gets a chat warning. Enforced centrally in `SkillAction`, so no per-skill code is needed.
- **Tripwire cooldown mode** — replaces the fixed wire limit with a Replicator-style cooldown. Players can place as many wires as they want as long as the cooldown is up; remaining time is shown on the HUD. Configurable via `Cooldown` in skillsInfo.json (default 20s).
- **Tripwire team colors** — T wires red (255, 64, 64), CT wires blue (64, 128, 255).
## Fixed
- **ExpensiveAmmo** also charged money for knife swings and grenade throws. It now only charges when a bullet-firing weapon is fired.
- **Knockback** also triggered on grenade throws; bound to the same allowlist.
## Removed
- Dead code: `Earthquake.cs` and `HealingChicken.cs` (neither was registered in the `Skills` enum, so neither ever ran), `EntityManager.CreateTrackedEnvShake`, `EntityManager.CreateTrackedChicken`, `PlayerManager.UpdatePlayerSkill`.
## Changed
- **Tripwire wires are now removed when the owner dies or loses the skill.** Previously they stayed on the map until the end of the round.
- `PlayerEvents.cs` split into three partial files: player events in `PlayerEvents.cs`, round and skill dispatch in `RoundEvents.cs`, entity and weapon hooks in `EntityEvents.cs`. Behaviour is unchanged; all members stay in the same `Event` class.
- 28 copy-pasted enemy-gathering LINQ chains reduced to the shared helper (Bankrupt, CarefulBullets, Darkness, Deactivator, Deaf, ExpensiveAmmo, Giant, Glitch, Jammer, JumpBan, JumpCurse, LifeSwap, Magnifier, MoneySwap, Nightmare, Poison, PrimaryBan, WildThrow).

Bump module version to 1.2.1.b7 and change SkillAction to return the invoked method result (object?) or null when not found. Add and normalize many localization entries across multiple language files (aimlock, homingnades, hotbomb, illiterate, illusionist, magneticdecoy, magneto, miner, planter_planting, teleporter chance string, throwingknife, weightless, wildthrow, smoker, etc.) and clean up duplicate/obsolete entries. Update server plugin binaries and configs (WASDMenuAPI.dll, jRandomSkills.dll, config.json, skillsInfo.json) and remove playersLanguage.json.
Refactored command handling to improve player and skill lookup logic, replaced some list operations with direct queries, and updated method signatures for clarity and null safety. The vote system was reworked to support more robust vote tracking, cooldowns, and localized chat messages. Language files were updated to add new vote-related translations. Various code style and nullability improvements were made throughout the plugin.
