Bacon Suppressor

[lofty shell]

Seems you can’t attach it to your Block II

[solemn flame]

video?

[lofty shell]

I’ll provide one sec

[honest saffron]

May have to inspect the weapon to attach it

[lofty shell]

Nvm, it works I’m just stupid

[solemn flame]

don't say that, also there will be a patch tomorrow for a few things including the AI reactions

I don't want to update it today because I'm relatively sure people have had enough update downloads failing for one day

[cinder frost]

What did you do cause I’m having trouble to

[cinder frost]

Nvm I to was stupid

[honest saffron]

Not sure why?

[solemn flame]

idk thats not my scope

[solemn flame]

cz scorpion is getting a suppressor next

[buoyant echo]

YEEEES. Cannot wait. Cz scorpion is a nice little weapon to run.

[dawn dawn]

for now only works with a specific sound u use no?

Tried with vanilla ones and don't work

[solemn flame]

can you even put it on a vanilla gun?

that might be a bug

yea it doesnt let me attach to m16

[dawn dawn]

No, no, the vanilla sounds hahaha

i'm trying to configurate it with me g36 and only works with your custom sound of the m4

[solemn flame]

when you add the mod as dependency you need to do two things:

1. add this component to the weapon: BaconSuppressors_WeaponSuppressionComponent
   this takes care of the AI detection functionality, turning on/off the muzzle flash

2. now you will have a new signal in the sound editor in your gun called "weapon_suppressed" 0 or 1, it will change based on whether suppressor is attached

that way you can implement any sound changes to your weapon

drop the Suppresssed.sig signal file into your audio editor and it will have two outputs, "suppressed" 0 - 1 and "suppressed_volsub" 1 - 0 (it will go toward 0 the further away you are, so you can use this output to decrease volume of any sounds you want)

[dawn dawn]

it should appear on the weaponsoundcomponent?

[solemn flame]

the signals are managed inside the audio editor for your weapon fire acp

if you open the m4 Shot3 acp file you will see how I used the signal

I don't add any new sounds, just filters and equalizers, but you can use the signal to add new sounds if you want

basically I used the value of suppressed signal to "turn on" and "turn off" my filters, and I used the _volsub signal to decrease volume of some sounds based on distance

[dawn dawn]

I need to watch the signal tutorial, not sure where to attach the suppressor signal

xD

[solemn flame]

alternatively you can copy and paste the entire m4 acp into your mod (duplicate) and just change the samples to the gun fire sound you want

but once you get an understanding on how the audio editor stuff works it's really fun to mess with it

[dawn dawn]

yeah, i messed up a bit a month ago with a barret, but only edited the 12'7 sound to get it close to the barret sound, not added anything new xD

[dawn dawn]

I'll try with this, need to add the suppressor to a g28 and a mg4 too

[solemn flame]

all 4 of my guns don't add any new sounds

just filters and equalizers, some sample changes etc (to sounds already in the game)

you can just dm me if you need help implementing it

[dawn dawn]

i'll try at the night, i dm if i'm getting a headhache with this haha

[solemn flame]

I couldn't really make it plug and play very easily, like the lasers

[honest saffron]

Great time

[solemn flame]

pop pop

[cinder frost]

Really made me happy to do sync shot last night and just hearing that psh psh

[solemn flame]

later today there will be an update out that will increase the distance at which you can hear it a bit

[honest saffron]

Nooooooo 😂

[solemn flame]

I've seen a video where the pop was audible from like 500 meters away, so I'm capping it to 100 in the mod

I think 500, although realistic, is bad for gameplay

so 100 it is

as in, by 100 meters it will be inaudible

[honest saffron]

Ahhh okay

[cinder frost]

I’m with it

https://tenor.com/view/no-country-for-old-men-bed-gif-22181524

Also just saying cause I know you were wanting to do shotguns but suppressors on shotguns no country for old men style

[solemn flame]

if I can get mocap stuff to work I can try shotgun anims

[cinder frost]

The real breacher experience as always though great work bacon loving your stuff

[solemn flame]

update out; scorpion suppressor is out also

[cinder frost]

[honest saffron]

I think the new update for the gun is causing issues for a few of my buds trying to join a server, we don’t have the new update on the server but when they try to use the old version it doesn’t let them in

[solemn flame]

you'll need to be more precise, what specifically is the problem? also always make sure to run latest versions

latest version of block2 is 1.0.21 I think, suppressors 1.0.2

[honest saffron]

Could just be there workshop but it won’t let them download to

[solemn flame]

we modders have zero control over any of the update and download functionality in the game

[honest saffron]

Okay I’ll let them know

[solemn flame]

you can try deleting the mods and then downloading them, worked for me

[cinder frost]

Yeah I hade to clear all data and download all mods again

[honest saffron]

Okay!

[dawn dawn]

Some of our weapons with the suppressor compatibility added, thx a lot a Beacon with the help with the G28!

[solemn flame]

dope guns

suppressed MG

[honest saffron]

Where are these guns? @dawn dawn

And where apc 😂

[cinder frost]

^

[dawn dawn]

All is from Comando Spectre private mod, all used is from the Spanish Armed Forces

We are keeping It private until we finish some stuff

[cinder frost]

@solemn flame I think your suppressor system is stopping my server from popping up on the server list I remove it and it pops up on the server list

Ran fine last night and RIS block II and suppressor system is what I narrowed it down to on the server

[solemn flame]

there are many servers running fine with it

[solemn flame]

can you share some logs, error messages, anything?

[honest saffron]

It works for us

[cinder frost]

Will do

[cinder frost]

So the server is not crashing at all but when it’s in the mod list the server will not show up on the server list in game @solemn flame

[cinder frost]

May have fixed it let ya know tomorrow sorry

[buoyant echo]

It honestly could just be the mods and servers. Have had multiple problems in the past on our server with game master fx and the Blackhawk. Where running those two mods at times would cause the server to not start at all.

[solemn flame]

those two mods do not conflict - if there is a problem with a mod of mine please provide logs that indicate that this mod is a problem so that I can fix it

[buoyant echo]

Yes well aware bacon. Wasn’t directing it at you. Sorry about the confusion. Was trying to explain that it’s a thing that happens with different servers and mods. And it’s usually a random occurrence that happens to servers.

[solemn flame]

it's never random

if the server is failing to start after a mod is updated it could be having trouble updating a mod

but you will see the reason in the logs

[buoyant echo]

I’m still pretty new to learning any of this. Stuff. Especially about server logs and stuff.

(OLD NEWS) I know it’s not relevant to to the present. But this was a problem we were having a few weeks ago with game master FX. The server would refuse to start with game master fx in mod list. This was before .9.7. But eventually we just took it off. And the server would start. It happens to our server from time to time.

Would these be the logs you are talking about bacon? And is this the server telling me the problems it’s having? Again I’m relatively new to figuring the logs out.

[solemn flame]

I imagine you have more mods added to the server than just this one? It's possible that the server just can't download it or can't update it

do you have access to the addons folder on your server in your admin panel?

[buoyant echo]

Yes I do.

[solemn flame]

I've noticed it most often happens when something needs to be updated, and it looks very similar to the update problems we have when updating mods in our games (stuck at 0%)

so following this train of thought you could delete folder of the mod and just have it download from scratch again

I actually always wipe all mod folders on some of my servers when they start and they never run into this

but other servers where this is not possible do run into this

[buoyant echo]

So correct me if my wrong. But let’s say you delete the folder from the sever config. Wouldn’t that cause the server to just bypass that mod and not install it at all?

[solemn flame]

if you remove the mod from config it will ignore the mod but it will not remove the data - so next time you add it and it needs an update you get the same thing

you know, assuming that the updates are broken still/again

[buoyant echo]

Alright awesome, thank you I will definitely try that.

And yes I know. It happens every update for sometimes every modder. I feel bad for you guys. Having to go back and fix things every time the game gets updated. I envy you guys. Especially the ones doing modding in their free time for fun.

But unfortunately it’s what happens with something that is early access.

[solemn flame]

double-edged sword

update breaks mod -> mod gets updated -> mod update breaks servers

we get flak either way, regardless of what we do

will be easier once workshop works

[buoyant echo]

Yeah that is true. Never looked at it that way. But it does suck that you guys get flak and sometimes people down voting mods. Because 99.99% of the time. It’s never your guys fault that a mod is broken.

[solemn flame]

right, this is where most of the downvotes come from

I think once workshop is fixed for good all mod ratings should be reset

[cinder frost]

Agreed and I’m not blaming you, the issue was though, isn’t that the server was crashing though it was running with or without mod but would not appear on the server list

I switched my host from Miami to ny back to Miami and that seemed to fix it as far as I could tell so it could have just been a nitrado thing but it was weird it was only doing it when I had the block II with dependencies

[solemn flame]

I update my mods rather often compared to some other mods, so naturally everyone's seeing this pop up more often

that being said, you need to look at the log, if server is not progressing at addon download stage then it's never the mod that's at fault

simply because we do not control how the mods are downloaded and updated

[cinder frost]

Ok thank you for clearing that up like I said I switched server locations and that seemed to fix it last night so it was on nitrados end

[solemn flame]

it probably reinstalled the server so the mods were wiped and downloaded again

[cinder frost]

Dosnt restarting the server or shutting down the server do that though?

[solemn flame]

no

once its downloaded once it sits there

even if you remove it from mods list

[cinder frost]

Got it thank you learning has accrued

[sharp nova]

Sorry this is off-topic for this thread but following on watson011 message I also have issues with game master fx -

1.0.39 doesn't even exist on my workshop so not sure if that's why its broken

[solemn flame]

is this on experimental or something?

[sharp nova]

Nah release.

I believe it's just going to be workshop issues like you said earlier.

My workshop was showing 1.0.38 as latest until I deleted it and then suddenly 1.0.39 is the latest

[solemn flame]

yes, 1.0.39 is latest

I have absolutely zero control over anything related to downloading and updating anything from workshop, so I can't do anything about it

[sharp nova]

Yep understood

[solemn flame]

until it's patched you'll have to delete the mod and download it again
