- Curses are now tracked at all times and cleared when a player leaves, so a curse can no longer stick to whoever joins into that player slot afterwards
- Wallhack and Nightmare no longer shows up for the whole server during the round start skill reveal
- One skill throwing during round cleanup no longer cancels the rest of the cleanup or leaves entity kills suppressed for the rest of the map
- Fixed the TakeAmmo crash on map change while restoring weapon reserve ammo
- Friendly fire reduction now applies to BlastShot, DeathBomb, ExplodingBarrel, ExplosiveShot and ToxicSmoke
- FireRain molotovs now land around the decoy instead of on nearby rooftops, and the fire keeps its owner and team so friendly fire rules apply to it
- Teammates can no longer shoot the chickens spawned by HealingChicken
- Fortnite wall now spawns with its model and health set up front, so it takes the configured amount of damage instead of breaking on the first bullet
- JetKick, CarefulBullets and WildThrow now clean up after their target disconnects
## 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.
## 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.
# Updates & Fixes (v1.2.1.b4)
- Pilot (Rework): Completely rewritten jump and fuel logic. You must now double-click space to activate flying. Re-activating in mid-air is now smoother and fuel consumption is properly clamped.
- Hermit: Increased default `HealthToAdd` to 100 and adjusted reserve ammo values.
- Planter / ShortBomb: Notifications now reach all valid players regardless of life status.
- ChillOut: Removed redundant empty center-print messages.
- System & Optimization:

- SkillUtils: Fixed spawn point selection bugs and memory referencing issues.
Introduce multiple new skill implementations and related updates: add AimLock, HealingChicken, HomingNades, HotBomb, Illusionist, MagneticDecoy, ThrowingKnife, Weightless and WildThrow; register skills and HUD/cooldown handling. Update ISkill enum to include new skills. Add SnapViewAngles signature to gamedata. Improve existing skills to handle bayonet (BladeMaster, Cutter, Disarmament, LongKnife) and fix iteration/null-check issues in FrozenDecoy. Make HealingSmoke tick interval configurable and extend its config. Update English and Polish language files with new skill strings and tweaks. Also sync server-side gamedata and language files.
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.
