[plain heron]

could you give me the link to repak? im trying to get it through github and its just giving me this
(https://github.com/trumank/repak/releases/tag/v0.2.3)

[trim night]

what abt this link https://github.com/trumank/repak/releases/download/v0.2.3/repak_cli-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.msi

[plain heron]

same issue

[trim night]

you could use unrealpak as an alternative it comes with ue5

its just a bit less inefficient

actually idk about inefficient you might just be able to set the export path anyway

[plain heron]

alright i got that

whats the next step rather then building the game?

i just have this starter thingy with a navmesh added in

[trim night]

you really onl;y need playerstart to run the game, nav is only needed for npcs without crashing

then cook and repak

[plain heron]

cook?

im a little new to unreal

i have experience in other engines though

[trim night]

its like something u gotta do before packing the assets idk

i cook via unrealengine.exe cmd

[plain heron]

i see

[trim night]

itll turn them into .umap, .uexp, builtdata

[plain heron]

oh i think it worked

the pak file is 1 kb

whats your path to your level in unreal?

mine is All/Content/StarterContent/Maps/whateverthemapiscalled and i dont think thats right

[trim night]

you want it to match the pak game directory like halfswordue5/content/maps/map

[plain heron]

i dont understand

i tweaked the paths a little and now the path when i hover over the level is /Game/Maps/PJsCustomMap

[full moat]

@lusty bramble have you tried the gun against armor yet?

[plain heron]

and the folders on the left are All/Content/Maps/PJsCustomMap

[trim night]

compare them with fmodel

that path seems correct tho when using open cmd

[plain heron]

alright

will do tomorrow

or actually does the pak file name matter?

[trim night]

oh yeah i think you gotta name it like pakchunk0-Windows_andthensomething

ue5 auto mounts according to pakchunk# i think

[plain heron]

ok thats what i did

pakchunk0-Windows_PJsCustomMap.pak

[trim night]

yeah that sounds good

[lucid wadi]

where can i download mods

[cosmic elbow]

nexus mods

[lucid wadi]

i installed this but how do i add the mods to it?

[cosmic elbow]

js run the launcher

[tough hatch]

PLEAAAASEEEE!!!!! 🪿🪿🪿🪿

[shell oracle]

No dont do that pls use repak it’s much easier and it will work good with half sword

[drifting hinge]

I'm hoping they add like a mini update to half sword demo 🙏

Or someone please post a mod

[trim night]

you pack into the main pak?

[shell oracle]

Wdym?

No you don’t you pack it into your own pak

[trim night]

oh were you meaning unrealpak

i thought else cause you replied to the pak nmae lol

[shy sun]

what's yall's fav reshades??

[plain heron]

thank you so much for the help

the only 2 issues im having is these shader thingies keep getting cooked so i have to remove them every time i want to test the map

and your map has the HalfSwordUE5 parent directory already, but i have to also manually add that because i cant add folders to \All

and i dont have a *_BuiltData thing in my pak in fmodel but that doesnt seem important because it worked

the light also MAYBE doesnt work

[trim night]

can u let me know if u get materials and textures working ive been unlucky

[trim night]

i forgot exaclty how i fixed this but it was some lighting setting, maybe turning them to Epic cant remember

[plain heron]

yeah sure

i just started playing another game though

[plain heron]

do you have a solution to the directory/shader issue?

[trim night]

deleting the global shaders will stop crashing, and packing the other shader files i heard allows materials and textures but no work for me

for directory, is your project name HalfSwordUE5

[plain heron]

it is not

[trim night]

should help with the directory issue since its the same as the games dir

halfswordue5/content/maps/umap i think is the dir

[plain heron]

alright

[lusty bramble]

yeah it penetrates most armor can always tweak the damage tho

[full moat]

really cool. will it only be a glock or will there be more? and is it usable one handed? also what projectile does the gun use?

[plain heron]

i cant find where this is and the only thing that might be related to that is this

[trim night]

mightve been in project settings

actually i think it was something to do with baking lighting or smth ohhh wait

it was something with exposure

[plain heron]

any of these?

[trim night]

try turn auto exposure off

[lusty bramble]

i've added a few lol, and yeah u can use with one hand but the grip isn't perfect yet

and it's hitscan, not physical projectiles

[full moat]

really cool. could you add a wand with it whenever the full game and mod gets to come out?

[full moat]

i see. did physical projectiles cause to many problems?

[lusty bramble]

nah i just opted for hitscan because i wanted to go for more modern weapons, and it just seemed more reliable

[lusty bramble]

🤔 i could try

[plain heron]

does your UE crash when you boot up HS enhancer @trim night?

its getting a little annoying

[full moat]

fair enough

[trim night]

nah

[full moat]

i wanna go full "you're wizard, Willie"

[lusty bramble]

might add these physical projectiles tho lmao

[full moat]

lmao thats genius

[plain heron]

making a new project with this name did not change anything

[trim night]

what was the issue in the first place cant load the map?

[plain heron]

this

[trim night]

lemme check what mine looks like

does it still say all

[plain heron]

on UE or fmodel

[trim night]

what does ur directory look like in fmodel

[plain heron]

exactly how it looks in the screenshot

nothing changed

[trim night]

actually what folder are you packing thats prolyl it

Unreal Projects\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\Cooked\Windows\HalfSwordUE5\Content\Maps im packing at Windows

[plain heron]

yeah thats what my path looks like

its only when i add another folder named HalfSwordUE5 and put the content folder in it works
D:\UnrealEngine\Projects\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\Cooked\Windows\HalfSwordUE5\HalfSwordUE5\Content\Maps

[trim night]

weird, if ur cooking at dir windows it should encapsulate halfswordue5 folder no?

[plain heron]

this is the command i use to pack it
repak pack -v D:\UnrealEngine\Projects\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\Cooked\Windows\HalfSwordUE5

and this is cooking
UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe "D:\UnrealEngine\Projects\HalfSwordUE5\HalfSwordUE5.uproject" -run=cook -targetplatform=Windows

[trim night]

try remove halfswordue5 from the dirand remove the duplicate halfswordue5 folder back to original

repak pack -v "C:\Documents\Unreal Projects\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\Cooked\Windows" "S:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Half Sword Demo\HalfSwordUE5\Content\Paks\pakchunk0-Windows_gmconstruct" --compression Zlib
mine:

[plain heron]

alright that worked as well as turning auto exposure off

and i think the ue crashing when opening hs was caused by the auto installer/injector whatever it is

[trim night]

oh yeah i installed manually thats prolly it

[fossil fossil]

i need this mod

[topaz compass]

Is there lightsabers

[tidal rover]

One of yall pls add a mod to nexus that makes blood off of your fists when you punch hard enough

[tidal rover]

Will u make this public?

[frozen sable]

😭

[languid carbon]

can yall stop asking him ts he answered it 33 times alrdy no not until early access😭 🙏

[tidal rover]

Sorry i dont wanna scroll for 15 mins to see where he said it

[tardy jetty]

it's just a prank dude

[cosmic nexus]

Can we address the elephant in the room (well actually a rhino)

[hot carbon]

why is it that this happens when i try to download the newest enhancer update? i've tried to do it multiple times and it always says this.

[plain heron]

try manually installing it

[craggy acorn]

I've changed how the launcher works from that version and its size is much smaller than before that update (about 1/3). So that version thinks the updated launcher (the update is downloaded at %appdata%\Half Sword Enhancer) is corrupted. You can either download the latest version yourself or check the mentioned folder.

[hot carbon]

like redownload the mod? nvm

[lusty bramble]

just some testing fr

[hot carbon]

i found it mb

[craggy acorn]

Great

[plain heron]

waitasecond how did you get materials??

[lusty bramble]

um i dunno they work when i package it

[plain heron]

whats the paking command you use?

[bold needle]

Hey im new new to pc and trying to install OVRDTH and some weapons mods, its downloaded and I followed the tutorial, but when I try and use it in game it just makes the windows error noise with no prompt, any ideas?

It said to put the weapons in pooled saved, but that just wasn't an option for some reason so I ended up putting them directly into the tiers things, cause at leats they showed up then

@plain heron hope you don't mind me pinging you but you seem to know what your doing 🙏

[plain heron]

ive never used ovrdth before

sorry

only hs enhancer

[bold needle]

Any way to get the weapons in with that?

Cause I already have hs enhancer installed

[plain heron]

in the enitity spawner tab

also @trim night luke helped me get materials working

tell me when yous ready

[cold obsidian]

Is that a cat

[plain heron]

yes

its my cat

[trim night]

oh wow how did you pack them?

anything you had to do specifically

[drifting hinge]

I think I threw him to hard

[plain heron]

maybe

[drifting hinge]

I still can't figure out why when a willie falls from a height or when I throw him into a wall or sumthin it crashes

if someone got the answer lmk

[plain heron]

location of materials/textures do matter btw

[sturdy matrix]

when you press ok on a fatal error it does automatically copy the crash log.
not sure if any useful information can be gleamed other than by the devs, but that would be a good place to start.

my guess without doing any research is that blunt damage is uniquely unstable either because it has no cap and scales infinitely until the computer runs out of memory to do the calculations, or it caps too easily and upon reaching the cap, the game divides everything by zero for literally no reason and it crashes.
playing at max damage or using modded fist strength also crashes the game upon impact sometimes.

[craggy acorn]

might be an overflow

[drifting hinge]

Well it doesent crash when I hit them or anything it only crashes if the Willie falls from a height or when I throw him at the wall or if low gravity is on and when I push them towards the wall slowly it still crashes

I'm gonna try and reset everything to normal and see if it still crahses

Crashes*

[wintry summit]

Heya guys, quick question: Does HS Enhancer work on Linux? (I'm on Linux Mint)

[craggy acorn]

there's a linux guide on the github repo

[frozen sable]

even the jsons?

[wintry summit]

tnx

link to the repo?

[gritty tartan]

has anyone tried to create lightsabers?

[craggy acorn]

https://github.com/lambor590/Half-Sword-Enhancer/tree/dev

[plain heron]

not too sure but delete everything that has global in it

[lusty fern]

I know this game is not thinked for VR but.. do someone is working on a VR mod ??
This is exaclty what VR need, a realistic game like that, really I'm ready to pay a lot for this game to be playable in VR..

[cosmic elbow]

why the fuck is there a dinosaur

(rhino but whatever)

[plain heron]

why not

[warm tusk]

@cosmic elbow is this a mod?

[drifting hinge]

yo @craggy acorn

im tryna open a custom map with the enhancer mod but I forgot the key

OKAY SO

I reset every setting and it still crashes the game

[tough hatch]

Gods.. Give me the wolverine claws

[plain heron]

wait for ea to release...

[drifting hinge]

yeah

rn I really want one of the gun mods but

I gotta make my own lol

because I lowkey don't wanna wait a fwe months for ea lol

[wintry summit]

Tysm! it worked wonderfully

[drifting hinge]

btw]

anyone know the best reshader mod or something

[plain heron]

laser

[craggy acorn]

When does it crash? It's a fatal error? The default key is insert

[rancid shard]

Someone please send me Half Sword Enhancer, not a link but a file.

[craggy acorn]

I would not recommend that

[cosmic elbow]

yes

[main lintel]

help me

[shell oracle]

Are you using deal complex damage?

[tardy jetty]

Not a modding problem, there should be a guide to do this in one of the feedback channels

[main lintel]

or I don't know

[astral spoke]

for the HS enchanted launcher does anyone else have the problem of hands not swining while in its slowmo? i mean hands as in fists/unarmed. swinging swords works fine

this issue is only prevelant to me if im trying to do it while holding my guard up

im tryna figure out what could be cousing that

[verbal zinc]

would it be possible to like, make vr, just like conceptually

[astral spoke]

blade and sorcery exists if you need ur fix

[verbal zinc]

i assume its like remove most of the anims and make your hands try following controllers and putting head into the head and rebinding controls

[verbal zinc]

blade and sorcery feels, diffrent? im not sure how to explain it

asides from vr factor

maybe due to the ai's being diffrent

possibly due to the fact that in vr your controls arent actually that janky as pc

[astral spoke]

that probably also the gore is hard to do, you cant cut enemies in any direction it needs to be at joints

and you dont rly feel the weight of your sword as your character feels it in HS

also while willies are basic their attacks dont rly feel like animations. thesy feel more natural

and they respond to hits different

[verbal zinc]

yea

all those points are great

but uh, theoretically is it possible to do half sword in vr

the halfsword game and not remake it in another vr game

though using vr would make the game WAYYY easier

due to the fact that part of the challenge in half sword are the janky controls

[plain heron]

try reducing your framerate

[plain heron]

yes i am

if you have a way of dealing damage every frame without inv frames PLEASE tell me

[trim tree]

is enhancer safe?

[astral spoke]

nope dosent work

[plain heron]

you sure? try spawning 3 willies in

that makes punching work for me

[astral spoke]

nope, capping fps or spawning more enemies dosent seem to work. would like to mention that normal game slowmo works just fine

[plain heron]

no clue then

[compact stump]

I just close the game and reopen it a couple times and that usually fixes it. no idea why it happens though

[robust briar]

yoooo so ive got all of this installed but when i open the game i cant seem to figure how to start the mod

[placid sierra]

Change target game to mod to "half sword demo 0.4"

[drifting hinge]

soo im in unreal engine trying to even enter a map or even get to the blueprints but idk how

and two people ive asked havent responded I need someones help lol

[plain heron]

tell me everything you got so far

[drifting hinge]

only this vro 💔

[plain heron]

are you trying to make a custom map or something else?

[drifting hinge]

no

a gun

functional

[plain heron]

oh

um

[drifting hinge]

model and everything

[plain heron]

i dont know how to do that

[drifting hinge]

bruh

[plain heron]

one will release in ea

[drifting hinge]

isn't that like two to 3 months from now tho

[plain heron]

maybe

cant be that long

maybe like 2 or 3 weeks

[cosmic elbow]

@frozen sable why the FUCK does this happen every time i spawn in

[frozen sable]

loll

does it happen on every map

[plain heron]

not mine

well it does on mine when youre near the box the size of 800 miles in 2 directions

might be that

[cosmic elbow]

no only certain maps

[cosmic elbow]

bro what box

[plain heron]

my map has a really really big floor

[cosmic elbow]

[shell oracle]

terrain has problems with collision between willie, make the player start a bit more above the terrain

[frozen sable]

you could make the player spawn on a cube

[plain heron]

large rock

[cosmic elbow]

i did

[shell oracle]

does it work?

[cosmic elbow]

nein

[shell oracle]

hmm

[shell oracle]

could try this

[cosmic elbow]

its very visible

[shell oracle]

???

[cosmic elbow]

can see cube

[shell oracle]

so remove the mesh and just add a box collision?

[dark sigil]

hey whats that mod called where you can change sizes?

[shell oracle]

hs enhancer you spawn a willie with custom size and posses it

[narrow chasm]

what's the mod that lets you make a loadout? is it the same one?

[thorny herald]

Ovrdths loadouts

@narrow chasm

[static knot]

Hey does anyone know why my game keeps crashing when I throw wille with the mod half sword enhancer

[plain heron]

whats the policy for sharing mods, specifically custom maps? is it entirely banned until EA release? or can i share it with a friend?

[coral galleon]

is there a way to play older demo versions

your a legend

thank u

[turbid girder]

Imagine what it would be like to fight a dragon on half sword

[shell oracle]

techically friends, yes but no publishing

do not over spread

[plain heron]

hell yeah thanks

[shell oracle]

killed 2 guys with one gun :)

[faint onyx]

wtf

[odd linden]

Distributing maps and custom asset mods to anyone is not allowed, friend or not. What is meant is, we can’t stop what you do behind closed doors. It is not allowed, do not advertise it.

[plain heron]

i see

i will not do so then

[hollow relic]

that’s such a lame rule, mods bring life to a game and ur just silencing the mod makers so they don’t make any money

[odd linden]

I don’t make the rules bud I just make sure you follow them

[hollow relic]

lame

[odd linden]

Mod makers wouldnt make money anyway

Unless they paywall their mod

Which would be lame in itself

[hollow relic]

patreon

i’m not saying paying for mods

[odd linden]

Yeah I guess.

[hollow relic]

just supporting those who make mods

will this rule change with the release of the game based on what you know?

[odd linden]

Most likely yeah

[hollow relic]

@odd linden

oh sorry

alr

[odd linden]

No worries

[hollow relic]

ok sorry for being somewhat rude, just bamboozeled by this rule

[plain heron]

the rule is fine because it gives us time to make good mods for when early access releases

[devout raven]

So I just seen a video of someone using a katana in halfsword. Its obviously a mod. I need to know how people are doing this ASAP because weapons is my speciality lol. Is there any modding tools on nexus? Any sort of documentation anywhere on where the hell to even start?

@odd linden really???? Interesting. I have nothing against the rule of course. But If its your original design and its 100% free for others to enjoy, why would there be a rule to not be able to publish it on the nexus, curseforge, modio, or wherever? Furthermore, why would there be a modding channel in this discord if it wasnt encouraged to the point where you could share your creation with many people? The only reason I can think of is because the DEVS want most people to experience the game the way that they envisioned it first. Before the drop an official kit and open the floodgates lol.

@hollow relic if you want to get paid for your mods just join the BGS creation club lol

[trim night]

the main issue is that the devs don't want the demo to become a standalone game which could influence with the actual development of the game

but they plan on adding more modding support than in the demo so its worth waiting

[devout raven]

@trim night that makes alot of sense. Seems like a good move to me. It will most definitely be worth the wait.

[placid sierra]

https://youtu.be/H2z6A34lEfc?si=MofZwnOZUi-VYPNp

This if u want to make your own. Nexusmods has a ton of custom weapon packs.

[shell oracle]

Oh well my bad

[gritty tartan]

what if you made the player two feet tall and went around hittig people in the shins? lol

[dusk owl]

[cosmic elbow]

did you obtain the gun mod??!!!

[plain heron]

nope

i was asking if i could share my map mod

[cosmic elbow]

oh okay

[plain heron]

and the answer was no

[cosmic elbow]

speaking of maps

i made a few new maps

[plain heron]

hell yeah

[finite minnow]

is there an ufc octagom

[compact stump]

how would one hypothetically go about making a map or gun for half sword

[bright ether]

half sword if holdfast owned it

[eager finch]

YOOOOOOOOOOOO thats fire brooo!

is that gonna come out anytime soon or full release?

[cosmic elbow]

on full release it will prolly come out along with all my maps

however the file containing all my maps is 33 gb

[eager finch]

I imagine thats going to be worked on to shrink down a little? 😅

[ripe oracle]

nah its gonna be optimized worse than half sword is right now

[frozen sable]

woww

[shell oracle]

hell yeah bro

[tardy jetty]

what in the scallywag is this

can we commence in a chinwag about this topic

[vestal vale]

did you put this on nexus mods?

[trim night]

compress 😭

[odd linden]

Your maps also will cease to work when EA Is released

As the demo will also be updated

And all the weapon packs 😭

[hazy lintel]

it's a pak mod of just pure unreal engine files

How can I get modded weapons in abyss mode?

I've gotten a few packs and installed them onto OVRDTH'S

[hot gate]

can you mod abyss?

[hot gate]

you can't unfortunately

[tacit wadi]

Unfortunate :(

[full moat]

Have you tried making willie walk up the stairs?

[plain heron]

stairs in half sword are very hard to climb

[trim night]

with ue4ss

[hot gate]

whats that?

a nexus mod?

[trim night]

nah i thought you meant more from the development side

its a modding framework

[hot gate]

ohhh i got ya thanks

do yk how to get modded maps?

[plain heron]

you make them

or wait for early access

[full moat]

Is there a video? I wanna see willie stumble up stairs a drunkard

[plain heron]

ill get one soon

im doin something right now

[shell oracle]

local actorPath = "/Game/Path/To/YourWeapon.YourWeapon_C"
RegisterKeyBind(Key.M, function() -- can change key
  ExecuteInGameThread(function()
    LoadAsset(actorPath)

    local playerLocation = UEHelpers.GetPlayerController():K2_GetPawn():K2_GetActorLocation()
    
    local spawnLoc = {
      X = playerLocation.X + 200.0,
      Y = playerLocation.Y,
      Z = playerLocation.Z
    }
    
    local ActorClass = StaticFindObject(actorPath)
    
    if ActorClass and ActorClass:IsValid() then
      local Actor = UEHelpers.GetWorld():SpawnActor(ActorClass, spawnLoc, { Pitch = 0.0, Yaw = 0.0, Roll = 0.0 })
      if Actor and Actor:IsValid() then
        print("Actor spawned:  " .. Actor:GetFullName())
      end
    else
      print("Failed to find actor class:  " .. actorPath)
    end
  end)
end)

Try making a UE4SS mod and pasting this code, though ypu do need to replace the actor path to an actuall weapon using fmodel to get the path and you also put at the end of the path where is the name of the weapon your put .WeaponName_C

You spawn the weapon by pressing M

[shell oracle]

Download one of the beta builds of ue4ss

[trim night]

dont recall experimental dev build working

[lusty bramble]

older builds of hs enhancer with experimental ue4ss branch seem to work, as long as i disable the ue4ss gui and use the launcher instead of manual installation for enhancer

not sure abt newer versions tho

[narrow chasm]

I cannot get OVRDTH's mod to work. Any ideas?

[junior wren]

where do yall download mods from?

[worthy lodge]

the beanms shoues'e

[plain heron]

on nexus

[patent ocean]

hey has anyone made a co op or pvp mod?

and if so where can i get my hands on it

[plain heron]

it most likely will release for early access

i remember seeing something like a split screen pvp thing at a convention

[quick swallow]

are there any mods yet that add a new map or nah

[plain heron]

there will be when early access releases

if you dont want to wait you can make your own

[full moat]

how do i make my own maps?

[kindred kettle]

does this texture appear anywhere in the playtest? afaik it's not in the demo files

I guess it's just suppose to be willie

[halcyon orchid]

Modders, I have a question. Is there anyone who has made a mod that prevents bruising? Not immortality, but just gets rid of the visual bruising effect

[halcyon orchid]

i'm mainly wondering this for some ug testing

[full moat]

how do i make custom maps?

[devout magnet]

idk mate

what is this carving?

it's on the pitchfork

gerald?? 😭

[kindred kettle]

could be

[finite minnow]

how do i possess people

[plain heron]

with half sword enhancer

[short spruce]

written by cerai

kind of

I approached and looked like Cera 2, I don't have any more ideas.

[kindred kettle]

ye true, interesting

[shy sun]

what tool would one need to make their own HS map? looking for a personal project to tinker at and pass the time till EA

[plain heron]

ue5, repak, ue4ss, fmodel

[shy sun]

thank you!! i’ll start there

[full moat]

"whats that pokemon?" ass sword

[humble prawn]

Geralt maybe? Witcher easter egg perhaps

[cloud kelp]

anyone have a list of classes

[shy sun]

sooo sick!!

wish i could get the editor to work on my computer 😩

[full moat]

you dont need an editor.

i did it this way https://youtu.be/H2z6A34lEfc

[shy sun]

that’s what i meant! when i try to paste the Github file i get an error about ‘dll.tool’ missing and can’t get past that part :/

[full moat]

you have to install microsoft build tools

[full moat]

i used this to help me install it so maybe it'll help you https://github.com/bycloudai/InstallVSBuildToolsWindows

[shy sun]

will give that a try later thank you! i may have just installed the Visual Tools wrong

[kindred kettle]

I believe the order is beggar, peasant, commoner, militia, soldier, veteran, man at arms, knight, lord/baron

[cloud kelp]

I meant the class names

like

not those classes

Like, the player

the willy

certain weapons

[cloud kelp]

^ everything i needed was in ue4ss nevermind chat

[shy sun]

followed this and still got 'error calling dlltool 'dlltool.exe': program not found' unfort

bu thank you for the advice!

[full moat]

idk then. sorry i couldnt help

[shy sun]

no worries i appreciate you even trying!!

[shell oracle]

actaully you only need to make a half swrod map is Unreal Engine 5.4.4 and Repak

[shy sun]

could you point me in the right direction to start after getting those?

[shell oracle]

You make your map normally then once youre finished with your map you add a player start and then add a Nav Mesh bounds volume, then cook content for your platform and then use repak to pak it to a mod, place it in paks folder of half sword and then use a console unlocker and open your map with, by opening the console and typing open /Game/Path/To/YourMap

Oh YEHA make sure to do all your maps in a new unreal engine project named HalfSwordUE5

[cloud kelp]

thank you king i been looking for this

[shell oracle]

you're welcome :)

[shy sun]

thank you so much for the in depth explanation!!

never made a map in UE5 so i’m excited for my first try

[full moat]

@shell oracle i wanna ask about the map thing. how do i edit the base map?

[shell oracle]

You can but I very do not recommend it as if you don’t start a fight before loading into your map your Willie will just freeze bc your game expects Willie to start but loading into map immideatly DOESNT let Willie’s controll to work

[full moat]

the changes i wanna do is just remove the fences and maybe change the time of day

[shell oracle]

Then you would have to do other steps for that

Wich are more complex

[full moat]

i see

thanks

[cloud kelp]

@lusty bramble did you call some form of damage or did you use a really fast projectile as a model that you're actually shooting on your weapon mod?

[full moat]

he said he used hitscan

[cloud kelp]

so he did a call to one of the damage types

thhhen next question

@lusty bramble could i know which ones you called to?

it will save

so much trial and error

[hallow needle]

wai guys what actually is cooking

[cloud kelp]

sukuna mod

gun mod that is accidentally going to end up a sukuna mod if i can do things the way i think i can

[hallow needle]

oh nice

^_<

[cloud kelp]

since supposedly i can call dismember and cut as their own things

and i wanna know like

how shit actually works

which im still trying to figure out

[hallow needle]

heck yea

jinx have u made a map yet?

[cloud kelp]

No

[hallow needle]

oh

do yk the phrase cooking cuz im lwk confused

[cloud kelp]

not if its to do with the game

[hallow needle]

o

alr

[plain heron]

if you ever find how to call that please tell me

[cloud kelp]

i wanna know what's beating the willie in the menu ui and amplify it

[lusty bramble]

I cast a linetrace then call the function Willie_BP:Deal Complex Damage, you can see how to call it with the Watch feature of UE4SS

[cloud kelp]

so it is complex damage

[lusty bramble]

Yessir

[hallow needle]

does any1 know how to pak stuff? ^_^

[lusty bramble]

what I described is exactly how the menu works too, it casts a line trace and calls that function

[lusty bramble]

I use repak

[hallow needle]

o ye i downloaded that one

im js not sure what to do after i cooked my map

[cloud kelp]

OH HEY IT WORKED

i mean i crashed immediately but

atleast i got damage this time

Watch tool I need to try since I've been kinda just

guessing based on the actor and header dumps

and i didnt even know that was a thing until just now

pretty sure i crashed because im trying to call random things after i just did damage

like, all the things ive been trying

paint blood splash, dismember

all after i just did damage using complex damage

[cosmic elbow]

good to know😈

[cloud kelp]

nevermind i know why i was crashing now thanks to said watch tool

thank you luke

[shell oracle]

If you want to recreate deal complex damage here it is

For anyone who needs this

[patent ocean]

i forgot to check if anyone answered my question so i'll ask again, are there any multiplayer mods for halfsword?

[plain heron]

nope

[patent ocean]

that sucks

wanted to play with a friend

[kindred kettle]

there's like some sort of splitscreen one if I'm not mistaken. It's local though

[patent ocean]

The one that is for the 0.3 demo?

[kindred kettle]

yeah seems to be

[river belfry]

Might sound goofy but any like "magic" mods at all?

[full moat]

magic in what way?

[river belfry]

um.. like a hollow purple

[full moat]

not that i know of. i asked luke if he could add a wand to his gun mod but other than that i havent seen any magic or fantasy mods, although i would really like to see some.

[river belfry]

gun mod?

[full moat]

yeah someone is making a mod that adds guns to the game

[river belfry]

has anyone made a mod to give the willie irregular body proportions? like having longer arms?

[vale geode]

how do i get i get maps like this

i just dont understand the process of getting them in the game

[full moat]

you can kinda do that with the half sword enhancer

[kindred kettle]

the differences between colored/non-colored tier icons is kinda neat

[cloud kelp]

ah yes, the mystery of my 22 arguments problem xd

thnak you

goated for that

[cloud kelp]

im basically at the tail end of most of the brunt

[cloud kelp]

im still working on it

im so close but so far

okay im not far im right there

I was trying to figure out the difference between a cut and a menu click in the main menu, how they differ in terms of the deal complex damage function.

and it's word for word bar for bar exactly what luke said

and i am what's known as the very very big stupid

which actually brings upon a pretty important question

@lusty bramble have you ever dismembered using the gun?

Like shot enough times into a limb to try to trigger dismember

[shell oracle]

I don’t think so I think ypu would need other stuff for dismembering I’ll look into dismembering

[lusty bramble]

Nah, dismembering relies on constraints and is done with Dismember Function Initiate and Dismember Function Delayed iirc

[cloud kelp]

i figure i'll save all of like 30 minutes by asking

okay probably an hour knowing me

or 3

which parameter did you crank up for your damage?

[lusty bramble]

Cutting power and stab rate I think

[cloud kelp]

those happen to be what i cranked 😭

i cant even break the clothing

actually maybe my stab rate is still just too low hold on

im at 0.2

er

did you have a crashing issue if you do it too much

idk if its the game or me

like something to do with the blood

[lusty bramble]

hmm

[lusty bramble]

yea I had an issue with crashing due caused by the garbage collector and blood created from calling the damage function for some reason

[cloud kelp]

maybe my cutting power out actually

[lusty bramble]

but it just crashed when changing between levels

[lusty bramble]

how so?

[cloud kelp]

im being schizo and looking at my damage out and typing it out as i think it 💀

[lusty bramble]

lol

[lusty bramble]

you're checking the return value of it?

[cloud kelp]

yes

[frozen sable]

What is happening here?

[cloud kelp]

im "shooting" a willie

[frozen sable]

ooo

cool

is it a ray?

[cloud kelp]

calling deal complex damage and wondering why there's only raw damage and yet no visual damage

and im mid fuckarounduntilifindsomething

[frozen sable]

o

cool

[cloud kelp]

bc i saw luke's gun mod and decided i wanted one too

while simultaneously deciding a sukuna mod is possible

[frozen sable]

ur using paks right?

[cloud kelp]

no

[frozen sable]

wahhhhttt

[cloud kelp]

just a script

[frozen sable]

ue4ss?

[cloud kelp]

what would i need a pak for

[cloud kelp]

ya

[frozen sable]

i thought u were using blueprints with a ue5 gui

[cloud kelp]

nono

im gonna end up with a pak eventually probably

when the actual gun comes to fruit

[frozen sable]

🥺

🥹

[cloud kelp]

im shooting a line trace to a willie, checking if its a willie, if willie yippee, then calling complex damage

like

at a willie

shooting at a willie

[frozen sable]

thats cooool

[cloud kelp]

center of my screen

[cloud kelp]

luke told me the method

thank our goat

[frozen sable]

even when in thrid person

[cloud kelp]

ya

its just in the center of my screen

[frozen sable]

[cloud kelp]

im doing all sorts of damage but its not visual

like i get blood and thats all

[frozen sable]

so not like gore?

[cloud kelp]

ye

[frozen sable]

ok

[cloud kelp]

no gore all the ketchup

welp back to work

i need to check the parameters again in the funny viewer

and see if theres another i can use

bc im missing something

[frozen sable]

whoops

[frozen sable]

the live viewer?

its cool

[cloud kelp]

yes

im nowhere near this phase but like

[frozen sable]

recently ive been trying to change the texture of the fualds using a pak then going into live viewer and changing clothing texture

[cloud kelp]

@lusty bramble how do you have recoil?

[frozen sable]

but now that im typing this its probably easier to chage the texture of arming doublet

[lusty bramble]

yes, compare the calls to Deal Complex Damage your script sends, I'd make sure that ur raycast is hitting the proper components too since that could maybe cause the issue

[lusty bramble]

it's very straightforward with half sword physics, I just apply on impulse on the gun and it works pretty well

[cloud kelp]

oh yeah thats smart

i guess the shot visuals are harder

[lusty bramble]

yessir just make a pak with _p appended to the name and the new texture in the same location 🔥

[frozen sable]

🥹

Thanks

[cloud kelp]

lukes the goat honestly

[cloud kelp]

so you were perfectly correct

my bone was uh

000001F389FB3FE8

in one example

[frozen sable]

😳

[cloud kelp]

Bone=FNameUserdata: 000001B12A92A6D8

epic

a remanent from shit i was trying earlier

[lusty bramble]

isn't that just the memory address of the FName?

i think if u use toString on the bone name and print it or something in ur script u should be able to see the actual name of it

[shell oracle]

same

here is my gun blueprint btw if anyone wants it

[frozen sable]

it looks like a gun

[shell oracle]

OH WAIT YEAH IT KINDA DOES

[shell oracle]

A blueprint for a gun that looks like a gun

[hallow ferry]

@vapid tusk

this?

[vapid tusk]

yes

install and no diff everything

[hallow ferry]

wich one

manual

or launcher?

[vapid tusk]

launcher

download install then launch game from there

[hallow ferry]

done

imma launch it

i just used kill all enemies fr

lowk, how do i reopen the menu

[cloud kelp]

insert

[grand flower]

hitting myself

[cloud kelp]

ya im still not breaking the skin

or clothes

but uh

atleast my logging is pretty now

[cosmic elbow]

do u use dummying or did you unpak the game

[compact stump]

how do you load maps with the hs enhancer console

[vale geode]

i have the same question and how do i even get maps?

[storm crescent]

100 Hands rigidity multiplier + max enemy damage = Willies arms turn into choc wafers

[shell oracle]

No I made the whole gun blueprint for the deal complex damage function you need to recreate a function from the game

[lusty bramble]

dummying

[compact stump]

make them

making a pak is as far as ive gotten

[shy sun]

anyone know if it's possible to edit color of the polearm shafts? can't figure out what value to edit

[split surge]

guys guess what they dropping it soon this just came up was not there a few days ago

[hallow ferry]

idk if i have allat, imma still download it

[cosmic elbow]

Iis that not dummying

[cosmic elbow]

how do i do those little rectangles with nothing but a name and an out node

[cloud kelp]

I like how we all wanna make a gun now

😭

There’s something separate that tears into the skin from deal complex damage, that’s what I’ve been trying to figure out for the past two days

Literally just brute forcing things

And hoping I find something

[devout magnet]

I wonder if they will make ingame weapon editor

[shy sun]

probs what i’m most excited for in EA

[cloud kelp]

which function did you need to recreate..?

[cloud kelp]

@lusty bramble it only calls on willie_bp right

so if in theory you could have your gun or if you have something for debugging like click and shoot while in the menu ui with dressup willie

would it damage that dressup willie the same way?

like, would the skin break basically

[lusty bramble]

he means he dummied the Deal Complex Damage function

[cloud kelp]

im still stuck asf im trying to narrow down my issue here since im just getting blood and nothing else, not even a bruise

[lusty bramble]

yeah I believe so if I understand u correctly

[lusty bramble]

yes it should

[lusty bramble]

hmm lemme see the output when u Watch the Deal Complex Damage function and call it from ur script

[cloud kelp]

i do wonder

no, that's not it. Punching does the same

hitbox none though

maybe im just looking at it the wrong way

let me watch the dressup willie again...

i am noticing my error

[lusty bramble]

i don't pass a hitbox and it works

[lusty bramble]

👀

hmm

[cloud kelp]

yeah i wasnt getting any knockback either so uh

eheeeee

idk why i wasnt watching after i hit with my script

ill use BP_FreeCamera_C_1.Sphere for a start

[lusty bramble]

btw my cutting power is 150, stabrate 0.7, rigidity and blunt destruction 0.5, those are kinda just guesses but works for me

[cloud kelp]

thank you xd

impulse i just forgot to put

and i thought i did

so uh

[lusty bramble]

fair lol

[cloud kelp]

it should knock them back after they are dead now

or not because the collision is something that does uh

things

off to the dungeon i go

maybe i need to fill out all actually

ill clone punch values and work from there

btw if you never told me to watch deal complex damage i would have never done it btw LMAO so ty

[shell oracle]

Deal Complex Damage

[cloud kelp]

and ill try your tuning while im at it

[shell oracle]

hello chat today im gonna try working on a blueprint that keeps the BP_Gun blueprint always loaded

so then hopefully with ue4ss i can spawn the gun in normal in game maps

[cloud kelp]

confusion

i havent quite gotten to custom models yet

so i do be confused

and my method of the gun is different

[shell oracle]

basically i make a blueprint that keeps the gun always loaded ingame,then using a ue4ss mod i can summon the gun through the assets bc it is always loaded

[cloud kelp]

how were you spawning it currently?

[shell oracle]

i had a modded map with the gun itself but i want to spawn it in the arena and actually have fights

[cloud kelp]

im gonna have to explore that when the time comes

which makes me wonder how people spawn their custom stuff

[shell oracle]

that is a question you should ask nuke

[shy sun]

seeking help! making a naginata and for some reason the Falchion head got turned around. wondering if anyone knows how to rotate a part in the json? thanks!

second pic is the view of the blade from inside the shaft (lol)

[frozen sable]

add a - infront of the xy or z

[shy sun]

heard thank you! ik -z flips it around but i’ll tinker when I’m home

thanks again!

[cloud kelp]

Are you passing Collided Component?

[lusty bramble]

yes u need to

i think

i just pass my gun mesh tho

[cloud kelp]

the confusion that is hitting me upon reading this is greater than one would think

so collided component is the trigger for deal complex damage to do anything, and you have to pass it or else nothing will happen because of that, which implies that it just

doesnt matter what

i could pass fists then

[shell oracle]

No? The collided component is your weapon

[cloud kelp]

yeah but the weapon is the trigger no?

a certain thing happens when the weapon hits the body

so if i can say

hello game

this willie got punched

and define the velocity

in theory

it replicates it

as long as i give other certain parameters with it

right?

Willie_BP_C_2147482249.CharacterMesh0 gets hit by Weapon_Fists_C_2147482200.Sphere with a Hit Velocity = (X=x,Y=-y,Z=z)

and whatever other things that may be required

that's just how im wrapping my last two remaining brain cells around it idk

in theory i think it should work but yall would know better

idk what parameters would be needed exactly i might have to trial and error unless one of you knows exactly what id need

[shell oracle]

Oh yes but also for the hit velocity do the physics actor velocity x 1000 so the game actually does the hit

[cloud kelp]

and the game fills in the rest

[cloud kelp]

poggers

[devout magnet]

Hello

[cloud kelp]

hello

[devout magnet]

What you talking about?

[cloud kelp]

calling deal complex damage to a willie

and the method to do so

[devout magnet]

Just set dpi astronomically high

And flick the mouse

One way to do it

[cloud kelp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1380626972476047391/1386197705193164984/togif.gif

[devout magnet]

Also couldnt they make modding simpler?

[mystic cave]

slop

[devout magnet]

Without all these { and reapeting id's at beggining?

Seems unecessasary to me

[cloud kelp]

eh

wut

[devout magnet]

Seems to me

[cloud kelp]

repeating id's?

[devout magnet]

Yes

[cloud kelp]

wdym?

these? the numbers?

[devout magnet]

at beggining when you open ladout

[cloud kelp]

those are the model numbers

[devout magnet]

These i wont understand

no not those

Those kind of make sense

i am talking bout those at beggining od the ladout

[cloud kelp]

could you show me

im confused

[devout magnet]

You got .json of any ladout in ovrdht's?

open it and first 30 lines

[shell oracle]

No those are the instance ids I think

[cloud kelp]

o

[cloud kelp]

these?

ya idk god knows

[devout magnet]

I do not think he does

Also what software you using?

i am using shittt vibe coded converter

made by our great friend bongoblob

[cloud kelp]

vsc and vs

[devout magnet]

In human terms?

[cloud kelp]

visual studio and visual studio code

[devout magnet]

How foolproof is that?

Army or marine?

[cloud kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-dog-hug-dog-question-mark-dog-question-mark-gif-14144426802562365039

[devout magnet]

The apps

[cloud kelp]

ya but wdym by foolproof

[devout magnet]

How difficult to mess up

[cloud kelp]

...mess up?

i mean they work pretty well

[trim night]

they just code editors

[devout magnet]

See i can mess even that up

[cloud kelp]

i dont think messing up or not is a factor

[devout magnet]

Gues ill gry it

[cloud kelp]

now imagine if you can do that same damage with a button cilck and looking at him

sukuna mod 🥀

[shell oracle]

laser eyes

[cloud kelp]

thatd be sick

[cloud kelp]

finally and i mean finally im getting return calls on the fists

i wasnt actually sending damage yet i was just cloning a real punch and trying to atleast get some returns

and after uh

how many hours?

I am here

also fun fact the fists as a weapon isnt even existent until you throw a punch

[chilly hinge]

So how would I learn to mod or make a map...

[shy sun]

https://youtu.be/H2z6A34lEfc?si=cFqEbpq18zgKbDcC

mapmaking is a bit beyond me but this has been fun to tinker with!!

[ebon girder]

how do i get jumps and dashes to have more force? i have both at 10k but they barely pucsh me anywhere

[ebon girder]

i wish i was good enough at making computer stuff because i do NOT understall allat numbers and stuff

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-they-mean-random-numbers-gif-10654449

[craggy acorn]

You can set a custom value

[ebon girder]

fr?

[craggy acorn]

There's an input box

[ebon girder]

yeah but i thought that was just for display

[shy sun]

truly not that hard! i have 0 coding experience but was able to follow along and now i have a decent grasp on the process!

even made this monstrosity yesterday!

now map making i’m much more lost on. would love a tutorial if anyone ever cares/has the time to make one <3

[ebon girder]

yeah but seeing all that many numbers and stuff lowkenuinely messes me up

[shy sun]

fair enough! it’s visually a lot for sure

[ebon girder]

i really gope someone makes a simplified weapon maker tho

like it would be really cool

[lusty bramble]

real

it's just the modding experience fr

[shy sun]

the EA will let you make weapons!

[shy sun]

literally spent 2hrs yesterday tweaking like one aspect of a weapon

just to not even like it LOL

[lusty bramble]

i considered it ngl but since the ea already will have that, i figured i shouldn't put too much time into it
