[lusty bramble]

truly unfortunate

[ebon girder]

yeah but what about like this year

and like right now

[shy sun]

right now, nothing

but EA should be here by the end of March at the latest

personally really hoping they announce a date soon but i’ve been tryna be patient and just let the time pass

[cloud kelp]

and now day 4 begins

or day 3

idk

day 3 or 4 of i want a damn glock for my internal rage

[lusty bramble]

light work trust

[cloud kelp]

im figuring this out as i go dawg this is the most pain ive had since i did 2000 lines of rendering text in a lua a long time ago

ALL of that is elseif

and various values

[lusty bramble]

what was this for lol

[cloud kelp]

a thing for cs

i was trying to recreate a menu style i liked

[lusty bramble]

im a lua pro from all my roblox hacking experience ❤️‍🩹

[cloud kelp]

i have not touched ts in like 5 years 😭

[lusty bramble]

real it's been a while since i've played it

but i think my experience coding a gun system in roblox like 5 years ago helped a lil with making guns in half sword ngl

[cloud kelp]

[fickle sparrow]

You ever think there will be a multiplayer mod

[lusty bramble]

splitscreen + steam remote play

[shy sun]

are there swords in game with a handle length that lets you one hand and two hand? tryna edit a weapon rn

hate you can't edit grip sizes

[lusty bramble]

with ue4ss, anything is possible

[shell oracle]

hi luke about the gun thing how do i amke it work actually? like how do i keep it loaded?

[cloud kelp]

DO YALL SEE THAT SHIT?

ITS A BRUISE

I GOT A BRUISE ON HIM

FINALLY

WHICH MEANS

I CAN FINALLY CAUSE REAL VISUAL DAMAGE

WITH THE GUN

RAHHHHHH

[lusty bramble]

hell yeah brotha 🔥

[shell oracle]

nice

[cloud kelp]

IM FINALLY HITTING

[shell oracle]

@lusty bramble

[cloud kelp]

THE REAL THING

OH MY FUCK

[shell oracle]

gun working?

[cloud kelp]

gun working chat

potentially

[shell oracle]

WAIT

[cloud kelp]

basically i just recreated a punch

logged it

[shell oracle]

in arena cutting map?

[cloud kelp]

and started cloning as much as i can

right down to the location

[shell oracle]

are you calling this from unreal engine?

or ue4ss?

[cloud kelp]

ue4ss

pure script

my ass does NOT know how to use ue5 😭

[shell oracle]

oh well if you want to do guns then you gotta use unreal engine

[cloud kelp]

ya

[shell oracle]

easy

[cloud kelp]

thats the next step

i dont actually have a model

[shell oracle]

aslo nuke is not RESPONDING to my messages

[cloud kelp]

im tracing from the camera

i want me a glock

also now that ive done this

i can get cuts

which means

sukuna ot

ah.

well, anyways

progress

[lusty bramble]

my bad i forgor

[shell oracle]

yes

well its fine

[shell oracle]

ah

[lusty bramble]

um idk the casting method seemed to work for me but it must be because it's in a blueprint that's always loaded i think

[shell oracle]

how do you make a blueprint thats always loaded? do i look at the willie bp data?

[lusty bramble]

could override Cursor_BP or smthn like that if u recreate the widget bp and add the cursor texture, then cast to ur gun on event begin play or whatever

[shell oracle]

maybe there is a enigne config setting for a blueprint that i could use to make it alwyas loaded

[lusty bramble]

yeah that's what i do but it's just a bit more work

[cloud kelp]

so like

however way ppl make custom weapons and load them through ovrdth

why doesnt that work

in this scenario

i know legiterally nothing and i do be curious

like whats the method people use

[shell oracle]

hmm i found there is something called a soft class reference

[lusty bramble]

idk i don't make custom weapons but from what ik ovrdth works by overriding the Loadout save file by converting it to json in order to edit weapon properties (e.g., changing mesh paths, colors, or sizes) then replacing the game's loadout savefile with it

maybe u could spawn a gun with it if u can edit the blueprint path, but i haven't looked into it 🤔

[cloud kelp]

im so happy rn

the fact that i finally got something

i just need to actually cast a trace now

i mean i am but

properly

non hard coded hit location

im a step closer to my gun

inb4 game releases when i finally have it made

and i just use lukes for the rest of eternity because mine will definitely crash after like 5 shots fired lets be real

[exotic estuary]

p sure you can if i'm not misunderstanding, all the default weapons are different blueprints with diff file paths so you should be able to change it

[quick swallow]

man i wish i was even slightly competent in modding so i could import custom maps 😭

i gotta lock in and study ts im gonna get custom maps eventually frfr

[cloud kelp]

oh my fucking god i figured it out

ladies and gentlemen

the skin has broken

Basically, I was using fists

I don't think you can break things too well at all with fists

which is kinda funny because when i was using the enhancer and raised the rigidity my fists could break through the skin and clothes BUT i digress

for now

i swapped from fists to the low tier mace

and still had an issue

until i realized one slight thing

then i actually break the skin, suddenly, a hitbox is there

hitbox is no longer nil

but instead

NODE_AddBoxComponent-0_0'

[fallen bobcat]

[cloud kelp]

this little feller over here happens to be the thing that molests the clothing

and the body

since they're one of the same

now, i dont know what or how a node works and shit like that and im kinda stupid

so idek if Weapon_Fists_C_xxxxxxx.Sphere can have a node as part of it

to break the skin open

since the node is specifically part of the weapon

and for some ungodly reason ue4ss and halfsword enhancer dont work together so i cant even test

actually wait

ayo does anyone know if ue4ss and halfsword enhancer and work together

with some tweaks

welp

i need the gui so

yippee

actually i guess i can just log these things myself

instead of using gui

actually im gonna have the weapon mesh anyways so

no point in trying to fists anymore

for now the mace is my gun

now im gonna stop hard coding location and hit bone

and also does anyone here know what normal is

like genuinely what does this even do

the thing is DCD wants 22 params and if I just do nothing with location and hitbone i dont think shits gonna work at all so maybe i need to do some extra funnies

the outs i can just leave but the others ehhhhh idk

time to find out

also i was crashing while using blunt hit with cutting power at the same time with fists

and now with mace im not so

idk different weapons different jawns

my main worry is that when i go to open ue5 im going to be hella lost and not know what to do

since idek a 10th of what i need on that gun so it actually works a little

look at those glorious bullet holes

(mace hits but yk)

a weird thing has begun to occure where im causing blood to splatter where i spawned in initially

as i test the script more on the dead willie

the moment i press it on the willie it splatters

interesting

funny enough its working in a spoilance too even though you dont spawn with a weapon at all

which shouldnt be possible to my eye

since im checking to see if the mace is there in the first place otherwise return 0

which makes me wonder if everything is done in one instance and thats why you start tripping over nothing whenever you win enough rounds in one session lol

unless in spoilance you spawn with the weapon then it gets deleted before the black screen clears

so i can change modes entirely and it works fine since the weapon was seen so i guess everything is just

once its there its there

the mace is still loaded somewhere

even though im in a totally different place

it'd be nice if these logs would say where exactly the object is but yk

i wonder what happens with armor

checks out

oh i guess armor is just part of the willies model instead of something extra

p cool

i was worried it was gonna splatter inside and id have to spend another full day trying to make it hit the armor if im pointing at armor

i find it funny that this is just silent aim but for halfsword

xd

im having an occasional crashing issue that i need to sort out

[ebon girder]

trine to make an audio mod, how do i do that?

[shell oracle]

Wdym audio mod?

[lusty bramble]

it's the direction the hit surface is facing basically I think

[cloud kelp]

o

that makes sense

[ebon girder]

changing an audi ofile

[shell oracle]

You need unreal engine 5.4.4, fmodel and repak

[cloud kelp]

luke can i annoy the shit out of you when its time for the model and getting meshes and stuff to work

i have never touched ts a day in my life

[ebon girder]

repak i dont think i have but im installing ue5.4 and i already have fmodel

[shell oracle]

Ask me instead

[cloud kelp]

sir yes sir

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cigarette-bossy-walk-gif-10772534467495814051

[ebon girder]

is it ts one?

[shell oracle]

Repak is so you can package mods easily

[shell oracle]

Nope

[cloud kelp]

no

https://tenor.com/view/snake-solid-snake-mgs2-jit-ts-this-gif-14035106082955238868

[ebon girder]

can i have the link or like the best website to get it from

[cloud kelp]

HE USED TS AS THIS GET HIM

[shell oracle]

https://github.com/trumank/repak

[ebon girder]

thank you

[ebon girder]

got them all, just waiting for ue5 to finish installing (nearly halfway thru

[cloud kelp]

IVE DONE IT

first mod for a game btw i wanna point that one out

unless we count luas for cheats then im on round like 10 but

[lusty bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/absolute-cinema-raccoon-absolute-cinema-gif-17862327649353748812

[cloud kelp]

then again the mod isnt done until i have the gun

BUT

im hitting

i do have a slight issue where im not shooting in 1pp

i know why though im only getting one camera

and though i have impulse, it still doesnt actually like

you know how when you hit something that's dead, you can like

push the limbs around and stuff when you hit it

yeah i dont do that, i can only push them around if theyre alive

[shell oracle]

Yes officer willie!

[cloud kelp]

does that shotgun actually shoot multiple

[shell oracle]

no but its very strong

[cloud kelp]

oh

i mean, i think you can make it seem like its shooting a buckshot right?

[cloud kelp]

like you call a bunch one after another really fast with some spread

[shell oracle]

my gun now properlly works

[cloud kelp]

ehehe

is he taking visible damage?

i think i see a bruise but i cant tell

[lusty bramble]

officer willie

[cloud kelp]

the fact that its shooting from the gun itself is really cool

and gonna be aids for me to figure out

[shell oracle]

Bruh he is bleeding literally

[lusty bramble]

nah you just use Get Forward Direction or smthn like that on the gun model and multiply it by the distance to cast the ray

[shell oracle]

Yes he’s right

[cloud kelp]

no i mean like

the skin breaking

or bruising at all

since bruising is just a layer

i was getting bleeding for a bit but nothing else since i wasnt hitting a node

[shell oracle]

dismemberent?

[lusty bramble]

i think he might be onto somethin

[cloud kelp]

thats another thing

that would be

kinda epic

[shell oracle]

hehe yes

[cloud kelp]

here's mine for now

the videos uploading i swear i just have L net

[shell oracle]

if you want you can watch it @cloud kelp

:)

oh yeha luke when i deal too much damage and there is way too much blood in a custom map my game crashes

oh yeah and somehow my materials disappeared luke even though they are unreal i didnt delete the shader stuff only the global stuff

[lusty bramble]

mb trying to get my audio to work

is not happening

[lusty bramble]

hmm i had that happen too before

[ebon girder]

so i got all the things i need to download, konrad

how do i use them now

[lusty bramble]

i think to fix it i just like repackaged it and eventually it worked lmao i dunno

i just got audio fixed btw so i can hear now

[ebon girder]

@shell oracle

[shell oracle]

WHY IS THEREE A RHINO ON LUKE SCREEN?

@lusty bramble your screen froze to the ue4ss debug window

@cloud oyster wait wdym annoucnemnt in 6 mins?

[cloud oyster]

[shell oracle]

hey can you give people ue4ss mods? @cloud oyster

[ebon girder]

[shell oracle]

no repak is a command line tool

[ebon girder]

@cloud oyster what timezone is for you?

[frozen sable]

lets go hs modding soooonn

[shell oracle]

so its just me and you @cloud kelp

ea looks cool af

[pine finch]

howww?

[shell oracle]

easy

[pine finch]

i dont mean the gun i mean the map

can i have it 🙂

[shell oracle]

no cant sorry

[pine finch]

whyyyy

[shell oracle]

the devs will not allow custom assets

[pine finch]

Did u make the map all on ur own?

[shell oracle]

yeah and the gun myself

[pine finch]

If I wanted to make a map myself how easy would It be?

[shell oracle]

pretty easy, unreal engine 5.4.4, repak and a way to unlock the unreal engien console in half sword using half sword enhancer

[compact stump]

what is the command to load a map

[pine finch]

are those spikes useable?

[shell oracle]

hold on my game crashed let me relaod i have more maps m00

[pine finch]

i need the map xD

[shell oracle]

look at this map @queen pasture

[pine finch]

@queen pasture when u get a moment can u look at my screen?

:I

[shell oracle]

@queen pasture well now you saw my gun now

oh yeha he had a rhino in half sword luke had a rhino

i cna show you off how the maps work in hlaf sword

[shell oracle]

[cloud kelp]

@lusty bramble can m00 make this a gif

[shell oracle]

[shell oracle]

you want me to shoot myself? @queen pasture

[queen pasture]

yes

inagme

[shell oracle]

you cant, shoot the ropes, i would have to code it in

[pine finch]

Is it possible to play in an map from a previous version in this version now??

Konrad you'd know

@shell oracle

[shell oracle]

you would have to port it to unreal engine 5.4.4

[pine finch]

Can u show me how to do it or do I need the closed testing stuff?

[shell oracle]

cant, you would have to extract assets from the game you want the map and do stuff

i have a rel gun

ill show you

yeah it is the custom map LOL lets test your mod, NO IT IS THE BLOOD I JUST REALIZED

ill show you its sjsut the blod

oh

well my gun still better :)

@fickle nimbus

[pseudo sigil]

@cloud kelp how to get gun @shell oracle you also said you have a gun

i want to spice my game up

[cloud kelp]

wait 1 week and use lukes gun mod tbh

took me almost a week and i dont even have a proper gun yet

[pseudo sigil]

its gonna be in the full release, hes a tester?

[cloud kelp]

things wont change that much i dont think

it'll be easy to adapt a mod to

[pseudo sigil]

where do i acquire that mod?

[shell oracle]

I have the real gun but I can’t share it also early access will only be given to 10 people

[pseudo sigil]

i wanna be one of the 10 people

wait but where do i get lukes gun mod

is it the one you mentioned?

[shell oracle]

Only if you do the form and depends on your specs

[shell oracle]

You can’t

[static orchid]

how do i get mods??

[pseudo sigil]

when will i be able to

[pseudo sigil]

so i need to get accepted as a tester?

[rose palm]

is this a public mod

[shell oracle]

We don’t know yet

[pseudo sigil]

i need that mod so bad omg

[shell oracle]

Also @cloud kelp just saying you are allowed to release ue4ss mods

[cloud kelp]

w

[rose palm]

god dam bruh i really want that shi

[pseudo sigil]

7 days?

[rose palm]

public?

[lusty bramble]

yes, assuming i can quickly get it working for the ea version

i don't think it should be too much of a change

[rose palm]

type shi ❤️

[shell oracle]

You don’t need to since ea is only for 10 people who are selected

[lusty bramble]

?

[pseudo sigil]

well the ea version is vastly different than the demo so im expecting a lot of work

but you'll release demo version too?

[shell oracle]

@cloud oyster said ea is only for 10 people who are selected for the closed testing

[pseudo sigil]

no thats the people who are gonna test and give feedback on the future of half sword

ea will be released for everyone

[lusty bramble]

i'll have to ask, as of now what i've been told is that the demo isn't intended for mods, but early access has mod support planned and should be easier to mod

[shell oracle]

No I was in a call with him and he said only 10 people

[rose palm]

But it will be public for demo version?

[lusty bramble]

yes ik i'm confused what that has to do with what i was sayin

[cloud oyster]

You completely misunderstood friend.

We are adding closed testers to target specific hardware. This will be limited to 10 people who will be given access before EA release.

EA release is public for all otherwise our announcement would not have made much sense.

[pseudo sigil]

if yall need to test a 1050 hit me up

[shell oracle]

Oh my bad people, so what is closed testing for?

[pseudo sigil]

performance tests

for the targeted hardware

[cloud oyster]

We are adding closed testers to target specific hardware

[shell oracle]

Oh ok

[pseudo sigil]

how do you put something like that? like quote something from a message without forwarding the entire thing i never learned that skill

[cloud oyster]

The biggest change is going to be the EULA and we are on the latest version of UE5.

[cloud kelp]

oh.

well

mine will be easier to fix than lukes i think

XD

in that case

[cloud oyster]

I am on PC. Type or paste something then Highlight a tooltip menu will pop up use the parenthesis ".

[rose palm]

make a lazer attachment so you can see where u aimin

[shell oracle]

5.7

[pseudo sigil]

soon

[rose palm]

if yall need a cracked pc hit me up!!

[pseudo sigil]

hey thats cool

wait i think we missed the point we need to hit them up not the other way around

[pseudo sigil]

so glad we arent on ue6 or that one number would drive me insane

[lusty bramble]

ah okay, do you know if i'll be able to post mods with custom content for Early Access on release?

[shell oracle]

💀 oh yeah

[cloud oyster]

# for large text -# for tiny text.

Did you know?

-# Did you know?

[pseudo sigil]

i did not know

[cloud oyster]

I do not know the full terms at this time. I will update you as soon as I know more. We will more then likely need to make an announcement to the whole modding community just to cover all bases.

[lusty bramble]

got it, thank you

[pseudo sigil]

wait mcwonder i just remembered are yall adding the most popular suggestion like the gameplay modifiers? that was the biggest one for a whileee

it’s one-handed even tho it’s about the same height as willie

that would be sick! ik someone made a sword with axe heads in one of the mod packs

[shy sun]

looks like a cool, albeit painful, candlestick prosthetic

[pine finch]

@lyric talon can I borrow that sword?

Ship it over to me

Both

Just don't ask what I want it for

Errr

Errrr

A guy...

He took my girlfriend 😞

Now....

@lyric talon I have ur cat

OMGGGGGGG @chilly hinge

[drifting hinge]

please speed I need a gun mod my mod folder is kinda homeless, I live with willie I wanna help him out 😭

[cloud kelp]

ue5 is 50+gb and the game comes out in a week

and lukes gun mod is gonna be 300x better than the thing id make so im just gonna do a sukuna mod so i dont have to download ue5

i can script that way easier than i can figure out how to get a gun model and make everything together together

domain expansions in half sword lets gooo

Actually I wonder if it’d be possible to swing and slash

Like

Let’s say you have nothing in your hand, you punch air in the direction of the willie

And I make like a replication of cleave

I wonder how capable ue5 modding is for that sort of thing

[cosmic elbow]

as of rn you have to find a good grip yourself and shooting it at willie crashes the game but its a step forward

[shell oracle]

My gun is better :) i managed to get the grip working

how do i mod the game

[drifting hinge]

yo the crossbow too in the game is gonna be fun

until I get a gun mod if it releases to the pub

[cosmic elbow]

@shell oracle why tf does my gun function do absolutely nothing

[shell oracle]

Show me the code

[cosmic elbow]

gimme a sec

does it look nice tho

[shell oracle]

Yeah looks cool

[cosmic elbow]

the problematic part is somewhere here

the problem is that my guns dont deal damage

so i believe the deal complex damage is the problematic node

[shell oracle]

Is this your code?

[cosmic elbow]

the gun? no

took it from u

[shell oracle]

YEHA but what are the settings for the variables

[cosmic elbow]

all 0

is that the problem

[shell oracle]

Yes big problem

[cosmic elbow]

why tf does piss come out the moment i put on my pants

[shell oracle]

what???

[cosmic elbow]

uhh

so do i put the values in now

what r ur recommended values

[shell oracle]

cutting

power

20-50

stab rate

10-

30

[cosmic elbow]

wait where do i set the values

is it value range

[shell oracle]

no just edit the blueprint and click on the variables to edit them

[cosmic elbow]

ts?

[shell oracle]

yes

[cosmic elbow]

anyway recommended values for rigidity and kick power

[shell oracle]

rigidity 1 and kcick power whatever

[cloud kelp]

are you watch deal complex damage to see if anything is happening or not

[upper garden]

Is there a super strength mod

[cloud kelp]

yes

[upper garden]

Where or how do I get that

[compact stump]

how do you load a map with hs enhancer

[spring gate]

HEY

its sick as hell!

one thing ill say

the average time to reload a arquebus was 30-60 seconds

it shouldnt be multi fire for the fact that

1. the calibers for arquebuses were usually pretty high

2. its a arquebus

you didnt have faster methods of reload like later on with wads

[cosmic elbow]

yeah in clips i will use it realistically

i also gave it insane recoil cuz apparently medieval firearms had insane recoil

[spring gate]

depends on the gunpowder load

[cosmic elbow]

yeah i gave it a pretty fair amount of damage

it should be atleast pretty realistic rn

[spring gate]

alright

well

consider this also

most arquebuses were around 10/16mm

[cosmic elbow]

also is mine too large

[spring gate]

the load was usually 30-60 grams to round olff

[cosmic elbow]

i have a feeling its too large

[spring gate]

and thats about

give or take 800 grains? i may be wrong

but yeah for a arquebus that would kick big time

and for hand cannons it was bigger so\

heres a arquebuser image

actuallyy ill dm you the stuff i have i love the renaissance

[cosmic elbow]

i think it's a good size

[cosmic elbow]

alr bet

[spring gate]

done

i mean all i have to do is copy the gun bp, add a new mesh, and make it spawn a physical actor, no?

i say unknowingly

[spring gate]

i was right sabatons are in the game but lowkenuinely just imagine this guy with a giant calvary handcannon

and a ecranche on his exposed shoulder

scary

[shell oracle]

new map i mde

[muted frost]

wow it looks like a map

[compact stump]

how do you load maps with hs enhancer, whats the command or whatever

[shell oracle]

you need to make yor own custom map before you can load maps

[compact stump]

i did, i dont know how to load it

open and then file path just brings me to the menu

[shell oracle]

do you have the pak in your paks folder?

[compact stump]

yeah

[shell oracle]

hmm whats your path to the map

[compact stump]

but any map the open command just brings me to the main menu

[shell oracle]

what is the file path to your custom map?

[compact stump]

HalfSwordUE5/Content/Maps

thats from the pak in fmodel

[shell oracle]

you are supposed to do open /Game/Path/To/YourMap so if your map is in content/maps

then

open /Game/Maps/YourMap

[compact stump]

ohhhhhhhhhh

ill give it a shot, i probably fucked something up in the process im new to all this

[cosmic elbow]

you forgot to put skylight WHY IS THE GUN SO LOUD

[shell oracle]

skylight?

[compact stump]

its still just going to the main menu, even with the arena map

[shell oracle]

the arena map is the main menu

the arena map both contain the main menu and the defualt arena map

[compact stump]

damn

thats some shit, would the abyss map work to see if im doing something wrong

[full moat]

<@&1080390104562016306>

[humble prawn]

Thank you

[gray wyvern]

is it just me or is the enchancer like ultra fucking buggy

[twilit loom]

I’m flattered that I was the first mod to come to mind

[tiny drift]

yall fw the ovrdth selector?

[cloud kelp]

yes

[cloud kelp]

honestly im thinking of some ideas for a punch action shotgun mod

also

@shell oracle

turns out that i can indeed use them together

lua for the logic and the blueprint for everything else

[lusty bramble]

that's what i'm doing rn ngl

[cloud kelp]

its easier for me to have sliders and some customization for what i wanna do liiiiiike shotgun

and simulating buckshot

like multiple wounds with high power

[cloud kelp]

whether or not you've already had this come to mind will decide whether or not i attempt this

but have you thought about a pump action shotgun

with like r to do the pump animation

[lusty bramble]

i've considered adding a shotgun yea

[cloud kelp]

pump action specifically

since youd have to do some funnies

because if you havent

im going to try

if you have

welp no point im gonna do the sukuna mod then 💀

either way ill need to use ue5

so

https://tenor.com/view/jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-fight-jujutsu-kaisen-fight-sukuna-gif-9526078671029098228

[lusty bramble]

a lil

[cloud kelp]

its one or the other

[cloud kelp]

oo

[lusty bramble]

if u can find a rigged (ideally animated) shotgun model it's possible

[cloud kelp]

i suppose i should focus on the sukuna mod then

[cloud kelp]

actually wait next question

you're gonna release after right

[shell oracle]

Oh ok

[lusty bramble]

if i can

[cloud kelp]

i mean would the devs really say no

after early access is out

i wonder if custom outfits would be possible now that i have a sukuna mod in my head

they're part of the model itself though i think

[lusty bramble]

I do not know the full terms at this time. I will update you as soon as I know more. We will more then likely need to make an announcement to the whole modding community just to cover all bases.
we'll see, i doubt it but just gotta see how the eula will have changed

[cloud kelp]

oof

welp

i hope for good things xd

[lusty bramble]

possible

[cloud kelp]

but damage wont apply to those right

visual damage

that's the part that's tripping me up right now about possible custom clothing

Lets say we wanted to add in a modern day t shirt

it'd be the biggest of how that i can fathom

since those boxing gloves are just weapons right

objects

All I can think of is retex and any extra bits i'd add just can't be cut at all, or maybe starting with a piece of clothing which is really still just part of the model im 90% sure unless the clothes really are separate

[lusty bramble]

wdym? for the character itself, dismembered limbs just have no skin (although pretty sure ik how to make it use the actual model), but uh

[lusty bramble]

nah

armor

aka clothing

but like

[lusty bramble]

i haven't tried cloth clothing bc idrk how to use the chaos cloth system

[lusty bramble]

nah they are separate

[cloud kelp]

so the clothes have their own damage mesh?

That's completely separate?

[shell oracle]

Ailen ahh mf

[cloud kelp]

If I go into abyss and try to cut a pair of pants in one of the crates is it really gonna cut?

[lusty bramble]

ohh

[shell oracle]

EVEN BETTER LOL

[cloud kelp]

so you added the skin over top of the willie xd

[shell oracle]

Also luke about ModularWeapon how do I properly set it up for grip and stuff

[cloud kelp]

funny that his leg is actually gone

[lusty bramble]

uh the clothing is made up of separate blueprints and meshes from the character but for like cutting detection i believe any clothing should automatically support being damaged when the willie actor wearing them is

[shell oracle]

Willie_DressUp?

[cloud kelp]

that's the menu willie

[shell oracle]

Oooooohh

[cloud kelp]

hm.

i can retex but that only works to a degree

actually, the cloth t shirt on the peasant

it's very flimsy

i wonder

[lusty bramble]

maybe u could use ovrdth loader to load existing clothing but change the material/texture path to ur custom one

[cloud kelp]

this shirt does have physics of its own

and it can be cut

so that debunks one thing

i was hitting right through the shirt to the pants

without damage to the shirt

i wonder how i'd spawn in a shirt if it can be separate

uh

[cloud kelp]

would you happen to know the answer to that

like the way to spawn in clothing, like the pants for example that you see in abyss

[lusty bramble]

?

[cloud kelp]

and perhaps where to find the names

[cloud kelp]

YEP

that's the one

[lusty bramble]

do u have fmodel

[cloud kelp]

negative

[shell oracle]

@lusty bramble what about how do I set up ModularWeapon???

[cloud kelp]

i can learn to use it

[cloud kelp]

wait i forgot you have a police hat

that doesnt take damage right?

[lusty bramble]

it should

[cloud kelp]

The hats in the game, you can cut into them when you're wearing them

[shell oracle]

Wait you can?

[cloud kelp]

Could I see?

[cloud kelp]

yeah, you can cut through hats

[shell oracle]

Oh well wehn I always sliced the head the hat just came off

[cloud kelp]

let me verify but im 99% positive you can cut through hats while they are being worn

it becomes part of the model

[lusty bramble]

if u rig it like the game does and then use the cooked assets from the game in editor to make custom child blueprints, it functions basically natively

[shell oracle]

Do u have a plugin to export and view the assets? Bc everything is just u asset in fmodel and I can’t view anything

[lusty bramble]

use mesh format psk/pskx

then there's a blender add-on to import it

[shell oracle]

NO IT JUST CANT LOOK AT THW MODEL NEITHER EXPORT

I just get a read error

[lusty bramble]

AES key

[shell oracle]

I do have the aes key

Wait wdym aes key?

[lusty bramble]

do u have it set in fmodel?

[shell oracle]

Yes wait that is a different version of fmodel

I think

[lusty bramble]

if u have it set, then it's probably that u don't have the .usmap mappings file

[shell oracle]

.usmap mapping files?

[cloud kelp]

ohohoh im getting some ideas

[cloud kelp]

welp anyhow i gotta wait for early access to do any of these things since everything is gonna be different so

i might as well make due with what i have for now

[deep cypress]

where can i safely download mods? like half sword enhancer etc

[feral venture]

nexus

[deep cypress]

can u help me with Ovrdth selector its my first mod and idk how to use it

[shell oracle]

@lyric talon can i try out the game you are playing?

[lofty hull]

anyone know of a mod that lets me spawn in modded weapons, kinda like the enhancer mod lets u spawn in vanila weapons mid match?

[full moat]

is that a dinosaur in the back?

[rose palm]

Aww shucks

It’s a rhino

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cold obsidian]

Is he OK

Just tumbled over

[dusk owl]

That looks sick, I'm surprised more people creating firearm mods aren't making ones that fit the era of the game

Would it be possible to add a tiny delay when you fire to simulate the powder burning in the pan before it ignites?

[cloud kelp]

because modern pew pews are fun ;D

[cloud kelp]

yes

the firing of the gun is smoke and mirrors, you can do whatever you want with it

[lusty bramble]

you could make an animation for the wick burning and everything aswell, maybe i will once ea is out (if i can find decent models)

for now tho... modern guns are pretty fun to use

[velvet meteor]

Yo whered you get that mod i wanna try it lol

[lusty bramble]

made it lol, can't release custom assets for the demo tho unfortunately

[rose palm]

Oh it won’t be released for demo?

I thought it was

[toxic egret]

no. but when the game is released I will be up for being part of a project. I made a lot of 'samurai' stuff for an artstation contest a few years back.

not doable because of the engine for some odd reason or some other reason?

[lusty bramble]

it's doable 👍

[toxic egret]

yeah, i'd be up for making stuff like that, but only if its part of a team who have a proper workflow etc.

[dense oxide]

but arent they mods on nexus already?

[lusty bramble]

weapon mods use half sword's own assets, it's just editing the loadout save file to modify weapon parts

[lusty bramble]

i should definitely add before ea!!11!

[nimble talon]

Anybody know how to add split screen to my half sword demo?

[lusty bramble]

splitscreen is a planned feature for early access which is already abt to drop

[nimble talon]

Ya I know but I can’t wait

[lusty bramble]

im not allowed to release, sorry 💔

[rose palm]

Yeaaa plz add bro ill do anything 😭

[nimble talon]

[cloud kelp]

I mean

It’s not impossible

I don’t think

@lusty bramble thoughts my good sir

A willie for the Willie

You can already cut off something there

Use the same mesh and slice add a willie

[oblique dawn]

When the game is fully completed, although if you're talking about the Early Access it'll come out on January 30

[oblique dawn]

But

[cloud kelp]

Like

It can be done

If you want a willie for your Willie by god I will provide a willie

And you’ll be able to chop it off

[wraith obsidian]

how much will it costs

[lusty bramble]

lol ofc it's just the intestine but yeah not impossible

[cloud kelp]

of course you have

why did i think it wasnt done yet

i should know better

Please put an SPOILER tag on this message. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously half swording. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this message. Now there is a whole train of men half swording together at this one message. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this message as a SPOILER.

[oblique dawn]

Great now I look more insane

THERE WAS A PICTURE

[twilit loom]

Is there some kind of guide for adding my own assets and code to the game? I've been struggling trying to figure it out

I spent like 4 hours trying to replace the tongs with a gun and accomplished absolutely nothing

[lusty bramble]

https://buckminsterfullerene02.github.io/dev-guide/Basis/PakPatching.html
atp i'd download the newest version of Unreal Engine and learn just the fundamentals so u have a starting point for modding EA lol

[lusty bramble]

the basics for replacing would be you use FModel to find the path of what ur replacing in the pak, then in Unreal Engine you create a project titled HalfSwordUE5 and recreate the asset in the same path with the same name, cook and package the project and place its in half sword's Paks folder

but for custom blueprints like weapons it's a bit harder of a process

you could replace its mesh probably

[twilit loom]

Yeah I was doing that for the most part but I think I was getting little details wrong. I'm gonna try again, thank you

[lusty bramble]

it's the little details that get u

[twilit loom]

I was using AI to guide me to do it but it was probably doing it wrong. Now that I have an actual guide it should be much more feasible

[candid meadow]

we (at least my no name ahh) need more Elden ringish mods in Half Sword

is there gamedev chat?

[hybrid elm]

give me a map mod someone

[upper jetty]

Why is it coming from there

That is abnormal

[lusty bramble]

it happens to the best of us

[swift gyro]

Can someone help me with getting the ovrdth mod working? I feel like I’m missing a step

[devout magnet]

Not allowed

[devout magnet]

using the 4.5.0 version or what?

[swift gyro]

I believe so? I’m very new to this so if there is a better way of installing it I’d definitely give it a go

[devout magnet]

Alright so first whats the exact issue

like what exactly goes south

Ginger?

[swift gyro]

So when I install it, it opens up and lets me go to the menu, but when I click on a option for it nothing works on the halfsword side

[devout magnet]

You need to do it in free mode firstly select tier then loadut

[swift gyro]

That’s what I’m doing, but it doesn’t work still

[devout magnet]

It doesnt load the ladout?

Right?

[swift gyro]

Correct

Also the menu loads separately from the game, I don’t know if that helps with the problem but I wanted to share that

[devout magnet]

Firstly reinstall the selector then delete the installer you can reinstall hs and then ovrdhts

[devout magnet]

the menu of ovrdhts isnt in game

also stupie thing but does it ping when you choose ladout?

Cuz you sometimes need to click it twice

[swift gyro]

Yes it pings when I click it, I’ve double clicked it before and it still doesn’t work

[fleet garnet]

thats how it works.

[devout magnet]

Reinstall it and download the installer from nexus

[fleet garnet]

i was finna say this lol

[swift gyro]

So it installed stupid, got it

Thank you all

[fleet garnet]

what? 😭

[devout magnet]

It works?

[swift gyro]

Reinstalling it now, I’ll give you an update once it’s set up

[devout magnet]

K

[swift gyro]

Still not working, do I need to change the install path?

[swift gyro]

^

[devout magnet]

Idk

Also ping me right away

[swift gyro]

Got it fixed, it was sending it to the wrong file for some reason

[swift gyro]

^ sorry I forgot to ping you in the message.

[devout magnet]

Cool

Wanna see mine sword?

[swift gyro]

Sure

[devout magnet]

Here

Custom

Watcha think?

[swift gyro]

That’s really cool!

[devout magnet]

I got the ladout

First of all what gun mod? Yours? Any mod containing custom assets can not be shared or else the creator gets a cease and desist

Do the game devs hate their community 😂 😂

[gritty tartan]

throwing knives are cooler

or throwing swords

[cloud kelp]

Ya but how

[gritty tartan]

you're right a bow with exploding arrows is better

https://tenor.com/view/aim-bow-arrow-ready-rambo-gif-14962686

[cloud kelp]

Ya that’s possible

[cloud kelp]

for this

you can launch a knife

but actually throwing is another thing

especially if you wanna make it spin and stuff

[sharp steppe]

is there a way to spawn other enemies than bosses?

[shy sun]

yall think there will be a way to transfer custom saves to the EA?

yo how do i use UE4SS to make mods

[tardy jetty]

cant yet

[shrewd nacelle]

its wild to me that i havent found yet any mod of a comically large spoon

[warped grove]

Spawning scaled weapons has been possible for like two years or so?

Also I have just seen the early access trailer and boys we can go home, there is nothing to mod in that masterpiece, even if they implement only half of what is shown in the trailer

[magic swift]

wheres the gun mod

i want a gun mod

blicky wid a switch

rn

[molten bridge]

dude cant you read the last 5 messages

[magic swift]

wher

e

[molten bridge]

this

[magic swift]

no like

whos the guy who made it

[molten bridge]

@shell oracle probably

[unborn wedge]

I know how it’s done

I will make my own

It may be shittier but it (might) work

Rather than using hitscan I got another method

[lusty bramble]

physical projectile?

https://tenor.com/view/penepixula-gif-21050526

[unborn wedge]

Yes

Dude I just can’t for the life of me get the ue4ss to load my mod

Idk if the script is just broken or what

I’ll try again tomorrow maybe

And I also know that you get the spark effect from when swords hit eachother

Idk how you animate the gun and its casing though

[lusty bramble]

yea the hit effect is

[lusty bramble]

unreal engine, casing and mag js use physics

[unborn wedge]

Is the firing effect custom too?

[unborn wedge]

Damn I ain’t no animator

Took me 4 hours tryna blue print the gun itself

xd

[lusty bramble]

neither am i but i managed to get smthn lol

[unborn wedge]

I can tell by the grip you use like a sword or something

I was going for a one handed dagger kinda thing

Think I might stick with that actually

[lusty bramble]

js the hammer, i still need to fine-tune the grip so it doesn't look so off lol but i was js gonna do it for EA

[unborn wedge]

The hammer!!! That’s smart

Yknow a rifle could probably be made with a spear

Like holding alt to aim forward

[unborn wedge]

Ehhh tbh who would notice when you are shooting somebody a bunch of times

Are you planning on selling the mod btw

Or would you release it for free

Or just keep it gatekept

[supple narwhal]

shotgun addition pls

[lusty bramble]

planning to release it free after ea is out

[unborn wedge]

Damn aight

Thought I’d have more time to attempt to replicate it xd

[lusty bramble]

ppl gonna hate me if i tried to gate keep it with $$

[lusty bramble]

lol lowk tho

[unborn wedge]

Lowkey thought it was impossible to add guns till I saw the video 😭

[lusty bramble]

i still need to add a dedicated UI for guns and have it allow u to adjust which ones spawn holstered on u and stuff, just haven't gotten to it still

[supple narwhal]

i'm new to the whole concept around gun mods on half sword i just only heard of it can u drop the vid

[unborn wedge]

Are you using the trainer mod

[lusty bramble]

it started with some maps and then i saw the potential for more lmao

[unborn wedge]

AH man you beat me to the rifle too 😭 😭

[lusty bramble]

nah

[unborn wedge]

What do you use to spawn it in

I was planning on just using ovrdth for the one I was making

[lusty bramble]

rifle grip doesn't work very well, maybe i'll try the spear or smthn for the base

[supple narwhal]

this grip would look good on an mp7

[unborn wedge]

You make a shotgun?

[lusty bramble]

nah not yet

[unborn wedge]

If not I just might beat you to it

[unborn wedge]

I’m waking up at 4am just to try beating you to the finish line

Woooo

[unborn wedge]

Yo btw is this script even like remotely close to what you made

print("GUN MOD LOADED")

local UEHelpers = require("UEHelpers")

RegisterKeyBind(Key.k, function()
print("K PRESSED")

local player = UEHelpers.GetPlayerCharacter()
if not player then
    print("NO PLAYER")
    return
end

local controller = UEHelpers.GetPlayerController()
local cam = controller:PlayerCameraManager()

local loc = cam:GetCameraLocation()
local rot = cam:GetCameraRotation()
local dir = rot:ToVector()

local daggerClass = sdk.find_class(
    "/Game/Assets/Weapons/Blueprints/Built_Weapons/Dagger1.Dagger1_C"
)

if not daggerClass then
    print("DAGGER CLASS NOT FOUND")
    return
end

local world = player:GetWorld()
local dagger = world:SpawnActor(daggerClass, loc, rot)

if dagger then
    dagger:GetRootComponent():AddImpulse(dir * 60000, "", true)
    print("BANG")
end

end)

(This was just made to test the projectiles and not shoot from a gun yet)

[lusty bramble]

erm

use the Trainer mod for reference, it has the ability to launch weapons as projectiles i believe
