Version v1.0.0.1 has been published to Stable learn more @ https://discord.gg/ZCYvXjKeHf

VERSION 1.0.0.1 CHANGES

Hotfix updating tool tips and item names.

We would like to thank everyone for the support and popularity the mod has received. Due to the breakout success, the mod has shifted from a solo effort to a team project. As such, this update is much larger and high in quality.
Updates on this mod will likely slow with summer ending, but we wanted to get one more big update out before the end of summer.

We have another update in the works, but it may be a bit before it releases.

This update adds several new items, major sprite updates, and several balance changes. Next update, we plan to continue to refine the balance of the mod to match up with base Calamity's balance for whips, but this is still WIP for us.

ART IMPROVEMENTS
As part of this update, a majority of the art in this mod has been drastically improved. Since we now have a team of dedicated artists and developers, the quality of items will hopefully be improved.

MERGE WITH NOT OFFICIAL CALAMITY WHIPS
After discussion, both the creators of the Not Official Calamity Whips mod and this one have decided to merge together to make the ultimate Calamity Whips mod. We are currently in the process of porting over and improving many of the items from that mod.
Currently 6 whips from that mod have been ported over and upgraded.
Fungal Flail: Releases a homing mushroom spore on minion tag.
Sky Splitter: Grants a buff which allows whips to restore flight time.
Daedalus Whip: Releases Icy Shards on tag.
Stellar Wind: Calls down astral stars on tag.
Star Scrapper: Grants resistance while close to the target (similar to the righeous dawn).
Centauri: Endgame, Post Calamitas whip with immense cosmic power.

COMMUNITY SUGGESTED ITEMS
For the next update, we want to add more community suggested items. If you have any ideas, feel free to join our discord and post them in the suggestions channel. If any are really popular or stand out, we may consider adding them.

ITEM RESKINS:
Slimy Sling: Converted to the "Worn Grip", now sold by the bandit.
Gelatinous Glove: Converted to the "Sticky Fingers", now buffs summoner damage instead of melee stats.
Righteous Dawn: Current version converted to "Star Scrapper", new version of the Righteous Dawn now available post providence.

BUG FIXES:
Added proper rarity system instead of just coloring item names.

BALANCE CHANGES:
General: Tag of new whips changed to be multiplicative.

Commander's Glove (Neutral): Reduced to 20% whip range, replaced berserker's glove effect with summoner emblem and feral claws.

Version v0.9.1.5 has been published to Stable learn more @ https://discord.gg/auKnK8z8

VERSION 0.9.1.5 CHANGES

I want to thank everyone for the support, I was not expecting this mod to blow up as much as it did. Many of you provided helpful feedback and criticism, and I wanted to act on that.
This update is smaller, because I have been busy with my personal life, but I wanted to release something as it might be a little bit before the next big update.
Additionally, I want to gather feedback from the new discord server before the next update.

DISCORD SERVER:
After popular request, I have made an "official" discord server for this unofficial mod.
One of my main motivations for making this discord server was to allow the community to more easily make suggestions, both for balance changes, bug fixes, and even new items.
As part of this discord, I am experimenting with comunity suggested item. If you have an idea for an item, feel free to post it in the disord, and if it is interesting / popular, it may be added in a future update.
Link to discord: https://discord.gg/auKnK8z8

LOOKING FOR ARTIST:
This mod has become a lot more popular than I expected. While I really enjoy working on this mod, I am not super good at pixel art, and some of the sprites are a bit below average. If anyone would be interesting in improving the sprites in the mod, please reach out to me. I will credit you in the description and as a mod author.

BUG FIXES:
Solved an issue where Unrelenting Torment would not display rarity correctly

NEW COMMUNITY SUGGESTED ITEMS:
Prism Break (Concept by reldandle): Early hardmode whip that summons homing aquashards on minion tag.

NEW ITEMS:
Slimy Sling: Increases whip range by 33%.
Gelatinous Glove: Combines effect of slimy sling and berserker's glove.

VERSION 0.9.1 CHANGES

Update for August Tmodloader version, as well as for balanced changes and new content.

These changes will not be functional until August 1st.

I want to thank everyone for the support, I was not expecting this mod to blow up as much as it did. Many of you provided helpful feedback and criticism, and I wanted to act on that.

BUG FIXES
Fixed values and reforge prices of whips to match Calamity items of the respective rarities.
Fixed a problem where some whips would be used twice per swing.
Changed "Brimstone Lash" to be named "Lash of Languish", in order to avoid confusion with the base Calamity item "Brimlash".
Fixed an issue where the "Lash of Languish" would inflict Sulphuric Poisoning instead of Brimstone Flames.
Fixed an issue where the "Sulphuric Scourge" would not inflict Sulphuric Poisoning.
Added a visual effect to the "Pure Resonance" buff of the "Resonate Striker".
Fixed "Unrelenting Torment" rarity color to be "Pure Green", like other Polterghast tier items.

RECIPE CHANGES
Changed every whip to be crafted instead of dropped.
"Static Scourge" now crafted with 2 Stormlion Mandibles, and 6 Sea Remains.
"Congeled Duowhip" now crafted with 10 Purified Gel and 2 Ball of Hurt or The Meatball
"Sulphuric Scourge" now crafted with 1 Static Scourge, 8 Corroded Fossils and 15 Sulphuric Scales.
"Lash of Languish" now crafted with 1 Firecracker, 3 Ashes of Calamity, and 8 Essence of Chaos.
"Resonate Striker" now crafted with 1 Spinal Tap and 3 Efflugent Feathers.
"Unrelenting Torment" now crafted with 10 Chains, 5 Ruinous Souls, and 5 Phantoplasms.

BALANCE CHANGES
Changed special effects caused by minion tag hits to be expended after use, meaning you have to hit with the whip again to get the effect again.
This change was made to balance out the "Sulphuric Scourge" and "Unrelenting Torment".
The "Static Scourge" now spawns sparks on minion tag instead of flat tag damage.
Decreased cooldown of "Sandstone Reigns" soldier spawn.
Lash of Languish now released Brimstone explosion on tag.
Increased ranged of Resonate Striker, and the buff now also increases movement speed.
Changed damage of most whips to bring them in line with the point they are obtained.

NEW WHIPS
Rightous Dawn: Post Astrum Deus whip that provides buffs if you are close to your minions when they hit.

NEXT UPDATE PLANS
Updates are likely to slow down a bit once the summer ends, but I still plan to keep updating the mod, likely one whip at a time. Expect content updates 2 weeks, sometimes more or less frequent.
A small patch may be released with the next update of Calamity, if it causes bugs with this mod.
Next update may contained accessories or support items for a whip playstyle.
I plan to make a wiki or more likely some sort of spreadsheet once more items are added.

Version v0.9.0.6 has been published to Stable learn more @

VERSION 0.9.0.6 CHANGES

I want to thank everyone for the support, I was not expecting this mod to blow up as much as it did. Many of you provided helpful feedback and criticism, and I wanted to act on that. Moving forwards, updates will be larger and more spread out, but I wanted to make these changes based on community feedback as soon as possible.

BALANCE CHANGES
Reworked every whip with on hit effects, to instead trigger on minion tag attacks. This change was to make the whips feel more "summoner" and not just like melee weapons.
Whips with specific tag effects had their flat tag damage removed.
Reduced Unrelenting Torment damage to be more balanced, made hands spawn on minion tag.
Sulphuric Scourge now inflicts Sulphuric Poisoning. Toxic clouds now spawn on minion tag.
Added animation to the soldiers spawned by the Sandstone Reigns. Now only one soldier can spawn at a time, and on minion tag instead.
Increased Sandstone Reigns base damage for compensation.

NEXT UPDATE PLANS
Next update will most likely not be until the new Tmodloader version in the beginning of August.
I plan to continue to fine tune whips, both visually and mechanically.
I may add more unique effects to the prehardmode whips, but I am not decided yet.
Next whip added will likely be between Plantera and Moonlord in progression.

Version v0.9.0.5 has been published to Stable learn more @

BUG FIXES

BALANCE CHANGES

NEXT UPDATE PLANS
Polish the already added whips to make them more unique.
Add "walk" animation for Sand Soldiers summoned by Sandstone Reigns.
Tweak weapon balance based on feedback.
More whips will be added after the existing whips are improved.
