v2.0.3 - Math Is Hard

What's Changed

• Fixed math error in render distance calculation (thanks to stavrozo for the contrib!)
• Contrib from Dorian Burton: overworld sprites bigger than 16x16 (for example added by mods) should now render correctly.
• Added a MapGrids.lua file to the lib folder. It's a draft and holds info for elevations at certain map coordinates.
  eventually this should hopefully aid in rendering the map as a not totally flat plane, but for that I first need
  to gather info about what the actual height of the terrain is. Feel free to contribute.
• Laid some groundwork for future KFP 2.0 compatibility

v2.0.2 - Winner Of The Bad Word Bingo Hotfix

Hotfix for today's launcher update that no longer allows mods to contain a folder called baseroms if it's not empty.
Baseroms folder isn't needed anymore anyway so I just removed it and rezipped the mod. It works with v0.1.91 of the recomp launcher now.

Performance seems to have decreased slightly.

Dramaless Shape was already compliant with the security-related API changes before this update. The only thing that changed since yesterday was that the gen1recomp's latest version that released today blocks mods that contain a non-empty folder called baseroms. It also no longer allows mods whose zip file contains the mod in a folder inside it, saying that the manifest.json isn't found. So I repackaged the mod to have its files directly inside the zip file. Keep this in mind if you are manually installing mods by unzipping them.

Please update to this new version asap.

UPDATE 2026-08-17: I accidentally didn't include the LICENSE file again when repackaging this release. It is now included again. Thanks for reporting this oversight.

v2.0.1 - Launcher Hotfix

This release only changes the experimental flag to false since it seems to prevent enabling the mod in launcher version 0.1.83!

v2.0.0 Public Testing Release - The Big Fat Cleanup

This is a huge update that makes many changes.
If you're wondering "where did (feature) go??", it was probably removed or changed significantly because the features that aren't related to Voxel rendering are being taken out of this mod and moved to other mods.

v1.6.4 will remain online as a backwards-compatible LTS release.
The README.md will be updated very soon.

What's Changed

• Shadows: "OFF" applies to objects by @robertyur in #27
• Adding tools folder for easier packaging by @absol89 in #32
• Split Dramaless 2.0 into voxel environment provider by @anxiousintrovert in #37
• Invert Y on controller and update Stadium ROM guide by @poooooby in #33
• AND MANY MORE THINGS! Please check the CHANGELOG.md!!

v1.6.4.1 LTS - Legacy Release

These releases are only for backwards compatibility. You should use the most recent regular release versions instead, if possible.
The LTS versions only get updated every now and then with urgent hotfixes, but no large changes or fixes will be made.
Please clearly mark issues you are having with this version as being from the legacy version.

UPDATE: Removed the PUT_YOUR_STADIUM_ROM_HERE.txt file from the zip, so the launcher should no longer complain about a "not empty baseroms folder". 😒 Please redownload the zip and try to install it now.

1.6.4 - Hotfix for Softlock issue in 1.6.3

Had to address the softlock caused by switching to 1st or 3rd person that started happening in v1.6.3.
The culprit was the Horde mode easter egg of the original mod that was known to cause softlocks and that I had removed from my fork for that very reason. Well, its ghost decided to haunt us and a little leftover from it was hiding in FreeMove.lua.
It has been exorcised.

The line 528 error might still be present. I tried to address a possible cause of it. Please let me know if it was fixed for those who have been experiencing this error. If not, I will have to try something else.

Please do not use v1.6.3 of this mod anymore to avoid the aforementioned issues.

v1.6.3 - Code Rollback And Hotfixes

Hello friends,
I apologize for the delay of meaningful new features and the fact that I've been very slow in responding to your requests and bug reports in the last 20 hours since the initial release of this mod. A lot happened in such a short time, and for those who feel like reading more about a wild ride of recent events, please check out this pastebin.

For anyone else who just wants to read what is new in this version, in a nutshell it's:

• Removed code that was added in v1.6.2 of DramaticShapeVoxelMod in order to comply with its License
• v1.6.2.ST Release was removed from this repo.
• Contributions from StadiumFX mod creator were merged in, see further below for details
• Disabled Horde mode easter egg entirely.
• Removed the Options setting "Sprite Shading" for now as it was not working as intended and especially not the way people thought it does, so it was only causing confusion.
• Please hold the line for actual new features and fixes. The 1.6.2 debacle cost me a lot of time and energy.
• Version numbers are now semantic. That means this version of the release is v1.6.3, not v1.6.3.ST, and future releases will also no longer have the .ST suffix!
• I'm sorry about the half-finished STADIUM_ROM_GUIDE.md file. I'll get to it asap, I promise.
• Uploaded the wrong zip at first, please redownload it if you got an error

Please look at CHANGELOG.md for a full list of versions and their changes.

I tested this on Windows11 and on Android 14, using version 1.71 of gen1recomp. I was told VR mode works. iOS is having issues with shadows and the UI. No confirmations or reports that I know of from other devices at the moment.

Installation

• if you are having issues with updating to the newest version of the mod with an older version already installed, try deleting the old version before installing the new one.
• should be plug-and-play, just download the zip file and import it via the launcher.
• on desktop, you can select the Stadium ROM as you did before by using the file picker when you select the menu option.
• on mobile, please unzip the mod, drop your ROM into the baseroms folder inside the mod, then re-zip the mod before you install it via the launcher.
• make sure to disable or uninstall any other version of DramaticShapeVoxelMod (including its forks) to avoid potential conflicts.
• if you are having any problems that aren't about installing the mod, please create an Issue. I cannot provide help or support via discord DMs.
• if you are having a problem about compatibility with other mods, please also create an Issue, but if the issue is that the other mod is not working, first confirm that both the other mod and my mod are working independently.
• do NOT report bugs to the gen1recomp repo while you are using ANY mods.
• do NOT report bugs as DRAMALESS_SHAPE bugs in the Issues page of this repo unless you were able to confirm that they are still happening with only DRAMALESS_SHAPE and no other mods active and installed, and tested on a fresh, previously unmodded savefile.
• before you report any bug at all, try restarting the game or the gen1recomp launcher.
• if you messed with the files of the mod before the bug happened, stop messing with them, delete all your messed-with mod files, download the mod again from the Releases page, and make sure the bug can be reproduced. I won't stop you from making edits to the mod files, but it should be obvious that I cannot help you if you are essentially using your own custom fork of my mod.

Contributions from other developers

• Expose projected Stadium attachment positions by @anxiousintrovert in #7

Initial Testing Release: v1.6.2.ST

This is the first public testing release. It is still a huge WIP but all the things that the original VoxelMod did at the point of 1.6.0 are present and working.
Since the original mod was taken down today, I was under some pressure to get this fork ready for uploading sooner than I wanted to, so I apologize if there's any oversights.

Features should be the same as were present in v1.6.0 of the DramaticShapeVoxelMod, that means Stadium model support and VR, for example.

Please look at CHANGELOG.md if you're curious what exactly was changed in this fork vs. the original. Nothing is stopping you from using Kanto First Person mod with this, but I haven't been able to ensure it works with my version yet.
I am working together with other mod creators in order to add more features and compatibility with other mods where possible, but I'm just one guy so please be patient.

I tested this on Windows11 and on Android 14, using version 1.71 of gen1recomp.

NOTE: The attached zip had to be removed. See 1.6.3 release.
