BoutTime Patch Notes: Version 2.5 Steam API Integration


BoutTime Patch Notes: Version 2.5

This is the big one! Version 2.5 introduces a major new feature that brings real-world data directly into the ring: Steam API Integration. You can now automatically populate fighter cards with up-to-the-minute review data, developer information, and more, straight from the Steam store.

✨ New Features & UI Enhancements

Steam Auto-Populate is HERE!

Each fighter card now features a "Steam Auto-Populate" section.

Simply enter a game's Steam App ID and click the "Fetch" button to instantly load its name, developer, publisher, and review data.

Dynamic Review Score UI:

After fetching data from Steam, the review score section will transform! The manual dropdowns will be replaced by a direct "Steam Community Score" display, showing the official sentiment (e.g., "Very Positive") and the exact positive review percentage.

New Button Functionality:

Fetch/Reset Button: The "Fetch" button now cleverly transforms into a red "Reset" button after a successful API call. Clicking it will instantly clear the card and return it to its manual input state.

Update Scores Button: Don't want to do a full reset? A new green "Update Scores" button now appears after the initial fetch. Use this to refresh only the review data and Metacritic score, keeping the rest of your fighter's info intact.

Metacritic Not Found Message:

Sometimes, a game on Steam doesn't have a Metacritic score. In this event, the field will now display "404," and a special message will appear: "the GO.. oh its not found."

Persistent API State:

The "API-fetched" state of a card is now saved! When you export a card that was populated via the Steam API and later import it (or load it from the roster), it will automatically restore the API-driven UI and data.

⚙️ Gameplay & Logic Changes

New API-Driven Scoring System:

When a fighter's card is populated using the Steam API, a new, more dynamic scoring algorithm is used.

The Raw Score is now calculated as a weighted average: 70% from the Steam Community's positive review percentage and 30% from the official Metacritic score.

Cards entered manually will continue to use the original scoring algorithm based on the review dropdowns.

To-Hit Bonus Display Restored:

The live "to-hit" bonus display above each fighter in the fight modal has been restored. You can now clearly see any bonuses from the Underdog system or the "Energized" state.

🔧 Bug Fixes

Fixed a critical TypeError that could occur on page load, which prevented event listeners from being attached correctly. The application is now more stable on startup.
