New

/ew control panel A fully custom interface: VISUALS / HUD / SOUND / GAMEPLAY / PERFORMANCE / PRESETS tabs, eased scrolling, hand-drawn switches and sliders, and six synthesised interface sounds. Factory reset is a two-step action so a stray click can't wipe your setup. Presets are stored in config/sbw_ew_addon-presets.json. The command is operator-only (permission level 2).

The panel also drives interceptor range, takeover window and difficulty, net drag, maximum net span and AA missile speed — all of which used to be hardcoded constants.

Drone channel takeover While intercepting, press [Y] to start and LMB to lock the sweeping marker. Ten locks in two minutes; the window shrinks with every success. On success the operator's monitor is unbound with a notification and the airframe drops into a soft landing. The attempt aborts if the target leaves antenna range, is lost, or time runs out.

Creative tab high-voltage plate An animated bus bar in place of the tab label: a travelling charge, arcs, and the title drawn glyph by glyph with its own glow.

Anti-drone net

• Entanglement rewritten: instead of a star of triangles, the sheet now forms a pocket that hugs the airframe plus six mesh loops cinched around it.
• Sag is measured against the real surface under the sheet — a net laid on the ground stays flat, a suspended one drapes but never through the floor.
• The whole sheet shakes when a trapped drone thrashes or someone pushes through it.
• Bodies inside the mesh are slowed; the drag is applied symmetrically on client and server, so movement never rubber-bands.
• Maximum span: 48 → 24 blocks.
• New sounds: the catch itself, a looping rustle around a trapped drone, and a brush when you walk through the sheet.

Radio

• Distance, terrain and enclosure now shape the audio, not just the signal meter — a link at the edge of range genuinely falls apart.
• New interference: multipath fading, heterodyne whistle, motorboating, and hiss rushing up between words.
• Signal meters move one bar at a time and no longer live a life of their own.

Interceptor

• Range 700 → 200 blocks.
• Locks strictly onto the closest airframe in the sky.
• Player movement is frozen during interception and the camera is nailed to the drone optics.
• Stowing the interceptor drops the intercept and any takeover in progress.

Balance

• Anti-drone missiles fly at half speed.

Fixes

• Spectator mode. The mod cleared noPhysics on every player every tick, so the server pushed spectators out of any block they entered. Spectators fly through walls again.
• Trapped drones fell forever. A frozen entity produces no movement packets, so clients kept running their own physics. The server now re-asserts the position and the client pins the airframe.
• Players stuck to the ground, invisible and stuttering. An intercept session left on a stack in the inventory kept the FPV park alive.
• Nets from a previous world. The client sheet cache was never cleared on disconnect, so a brand new world came up with someone else's mesh hanging in mid-air.
• The "drone caught in a net" warning is no longer hidden behind other FPV banners.
• Monitor signal bars no longer disappear in batches.
• The takeover key hint reads Y on any keyboard layout.
• Interceptor GUI layout fixed — the hint text ran into the battery slot.
• The creative tab plate no longer extends past the item columns.
• "DEMOLITION" → "TARGET LOCK" on target lock-on.

Added

Guided Missile

• Added a player-controlled guided missile with 120 HP.
• Added professional-controller operation over radio and fiber optics.
• Added acceleration with `Space` and active braking with `Shift`.
• Added aerodynamic stall behavior: a slow missile begins to descend and pitches its nose downward.
• Added working heat flares.
• Added target-lock and incoming-threat warnings.
• Added a clean first-person view and an elevated GTA-style chase camera toggled with `F5`.
• Added custom thrust, heat, shockwave, and supersonic shaders.
• Generated original ignition, jet-engine, and sonic-boom sounds with Python.

• Added two-point net placement.
• Tensioning duration now scales with net size.
