EE_Suppression

[real whale]

Makes combat feel more intense.

Gunfire near you shakes and blurs the screen, explosions can leave your ears ringing.

Work in progress.

I LOVE this mod bro🥹✌️

[real whale]

Glad you like it man!

[stark crag]

gunfire for some reason does not affect me as intended, or i misunderstood something? explosions work nicely (may-be tinnitus could be a bit louder and longer)

@real whale

[real whale]

thanks for the feedback.

Gunfire only affects you if the bullets impact near you (around 8m radius)
Bullet flybys currently have no effect.
Fire at the ground near yourself to see the suppression effect in action.

[stark crag]

yeah, truth. hope to see flybys suppression in near future, for now mod looks very perspective! good luck in dev! ❤️

[real whale]

Thanks!!!

[stark crag]

just pls dont make it too much and dont turn this into squad))

New suppression sound when an explosion happens too close: ringing ears and audible heartbeat.

[buoyant imp]

I love the new sounds, they’re really a nice touch of detail. However when more than one explosion lands rapidly near you, it’ll cause multiple heartbeats to play. 😅 not a big issue but I thought I’d let you know.

[real whale]

Thanks for the feedback I'll try to find a solution 😊

[opal solstice]

do you think you could make the screen blur abit longer when a nade lands close and maybe abit more tunnel vison

could be cool

[real whale]

that's for the suggestion I'll keep it in mind for future update

[surreal zenith]

It would be great to have some cap/limit for this shakes and effects, for example if you position being constantly suppressed (like in your video) for 5-10~ seconds your character adapts for this and screen shake less intensity/off for some time. Thats would be realistic (because irl after sometime in warzone your brain adapts flight or fight responses and you rarely even flinch if bullets lands near you, also your body produce much less adrenaline on this events after you adapted) and less annoying to stay behind cover.

And about camera shake, it looks very good, but strange on gun. I think its linear shamke? But there are also angular shake, which can be better. Also it would be good to simulate head flinches (on explosion/super close bullet) with "animated" (timed via script) camera roll (to left/right, up/down) - to make something like in squad/

Thank you for your hard work! I really enjoys domination PVE)

[real whale]

Hey Ashyl thank you for the feedback! I like your suggestions. I will definitely try to apply them to the mod next update! 👍

[soft dew]

are u planning on making a on/off toggle for the Tinnitus?

or maybe earplugs that stop/reduce it

[real whale]

Most likely a toggle in a future update!

[soft dew]

Thank you!

Hi,
i am wondering, are their any protection animations already in the game, like hold left arm in front of the face or turn away in the game? Something like a small step back while getting in a little ducked position. Hard to describe 😅 If yes, this would be the most immersive way of adding suppression, when something explodes close by. Sound is one cool thing, but distracting view with blur or something feels always kind of artificial. Really like the ideas by Ashyl with the adaption process.

For the heartbeat sound, hmmm, for me to much and not realistic, cause this is something you feel more in your body, not hear. Hard breathing or coughing/moaning/swearing would fit more in my opinion. The brutal voices mod is a good example.

Anyways, just my two cents. Keep up your great work!

[stark crag]

thats something from battlefield)

but events reaction will be very cool to see (at least try it out)

[graceful halo]

Oh, ok, did not played Battlefield for a long time. Was just thinking about a natural reaction to such things. Maybe you can cook something 🙂

[real whale]

Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, I think the heartbeat might be a bit too loud, but I don’t feel like it’s totally out of place. Insurgency Sandstorm does the same thing and it feels good there. Stuff like that helps simulate the senses we can’t really experience as players, like fear. We can't feel it physically while playing, but the character should. The tricky part is how you show fear when it’s such an internal thing.

I like the idea of an animation for suppression, but I’ve got zero animation skills lol Adding sounds like coughing, screaming, and all that is a great call though.. that’s definitely going in. I’ll also tone down the heartbeat a bit.

The screen shake needs to stay though. I love how it feels, it gives intensity to firefights and explosions. Vanilla game always feels a bit dull in that regard

[buoyant imp]

I wouldn’t mind the heart beat at all, but when you get multiple grenades in your face your heartbeat will increase to 350 haha

[real whale]

that's something i haven't been able to fix lol but still working on it

[buoyant imp]

Not a problem at all, your suppression mod feels really nice so far keep up the good work

[solemn tundra]

Side note what audio mod are you using for the AK74 to sound like that or does it sound like that with your mod?

[stark crag]

#1203783136421486592 always using my mod 🙃

[solemn tundra]

Really? I use lunacy audio on my own server and the only Russian gun that has any audio change is the AKS74U

[torn flicker]

Hey is there a reason why the mod was removed? I really loved it

[real whale]

Hey, it's back up again. Sorry for the inconvenience

[torn flicker]

Thank you🙏
