Evan 6ff202afb5 feat: nuke-explosion cosmetic effects (per-bomb-type shockwave customization) (#4485)
## Description:

Adds a new `nukeExplosion` cosmetic effect type: when a bomb detonates,
every client renders the shockwave in the firing player's equipped
effect for that bomb type.

**Cosmetics / selection**
- New `nukeExplosion` effect schema (`CosmeticSchemas.ts`) with per-bomb
selection slots — a slot is the effectType for trails and the `nukeType`
for explosions (`atom` / `hydro` / `mirvWarhead`), so players can equip
a distinct explosion per bomb type.
- Slot resolution + validation is one shared helper
(`findEffectForSlot`) used by client selection, server privilege checks
(`Privilege.ts`), and the renderer; a compile-time guard keeps the
nukeType and effectType slot namespaces disjoint.
- Effects picker gains an Atom / Hydrogen / MIRV sub-tab bar when
browsing nuke explosions; selections persist per slot in UserSettings
and are validated/dropped like other cosmetics.

**Rendering**
- `WebGLFrameBuilder` resolves each dead nuke's owner cosmetic onto the
dead-unit event; `FxShockwavePass` renders an EMP-style procedural ring
(jagged crackling front, rotating lightning arcs, inner energy fill)
from per-instance attributes. SAM interceptions and players with no
cosmetic keep the classic white ring.
- Catalog attributes have literal units:
- `size` — final ring width (diameter) in world tiles at fade-out,
absolute — independent of the bomb's blast radius
- `speed` — tiles/s the width grows; duration = size / speed, clamped to
0.1–15 s
- `thickness` (required) — ring band thickness in tiles, constant while
the ring expands
- `colors` — palette of up to 4 colors, cycled at `transitionSpeed`
steps/s (0 = static, negative = reverse; same semantics as trail
transitions)
- The shockwave quad is sized radius + thickness so the absolute-width
band isn't clipped into a box while the ring is young.

## Please complete the following:

- [ ] I have added screenshots for all UI updates
- [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file
- [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory

OpenFrontIO Logo

OpenFront.io is an online real-time strategy game focused on territorial control and alliance building. Players compete to expand their territory, build structures, and form strategic alliances in various maps based on real-world geography.

This is a fork/rewrite of WarFront.io. Credit to https://github.com/WarFrontIO.

🌟 Features

  • Real-time Strategy Gameplay: Expand your territory and engage in strategic battles
  • Alliance System: Form alliances with other players for mutual defense
  • Multiple Maps: Play across various geographical regions including Europe, Asia, Africa, and more
  • Resource Management: Balance your expansion with defensive capabilities
  • Cross-platform: Play in any modern web browser

📋 Prerequisites

  • npm (v10.9.2 or higher)
  • A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.)

🚀 Installation

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO.git
    cd OpenFrontIO
    
  2. Install dependencies

    npm run inst
    

    Do NOT use npm install nor npm i but instead use our npm run inst. It runs the safer npm ci --ignore-scripts to install dependencies exactly according to the versions in package-lock.json and doesn't run scripts. This can prevent being hit by a supply chain attack.

🎮 Running the Game

Development Mode

Run both the client and server in development mode with live reloading:

npm run dev

This will:

  • Start the webpack dev server for the client
  • Launch the game server with development settings
  • Open the game in your default browser (to disable this behavior, set SKIP_BROWSER_OPEN=true in your environment)

Client Only

To run just the client with hot reloading:

npm run start:client

Server Only

To run just the server with development settings:

npm run start:server-dev

Connecting to staging or production backends

Sometimes it's useful to connect to production servers when replaying a game, testing user profiles, purchases, or login flow.

To replay a production game, make sure you're on the same commit that the game you want to replay was executed on, you can find the gitCommit value via https://api.openfront.io/game/[gameId]. Unfinished games cannot be replayed on localhost.

To connect to staging api servers:

npm run dev:staging

To connect to production api servers:

npm run dev:prod

🛠️ Development Tools

  • Format code:

    npm run format
    
  • Lint code:

    npm run lint
    
  • Lint and fix code:

    npm run lint:fix
    
  • Testing

    npm test
    

🏗️ Project Structure

  • /src/client - Frontend game client
  • /src/core - Deterministic game simulation
  • /src/server - Backend game server
  • /resources - Static assets (images, maps, etc.)
