[zealous chasm]

sounds now play when casing his the floor

[limber marsh]

this.. is epic

[zealous chasm]

new update will include bullets boucneing back, so no more going by walls

[hybrid stirrup]

[zealous chasm]

im reaching crazy levels of insanity

[naive olive]

one of the best and most unqiue mods so far

we're talking about a feature that doesn't exist in vanilla and it's entirely new mechanic, this requires a lot of reverse engineering to pull of

[zealous chasm]

new feature

coming soon

lol

[hybrid stirrup]

I don't get it, but I'm watching without sound lol, what's the feature?

[zealous chasm]

the little bounces once they hit the floor

[hybrid stirrup]

Ooooh I should have opened it fullscreen haha, I see it now! That's awesome dude, great work!

SimKDT will be happy to see it 😂

not sure if thats related to your mod! ❤️

[zealous chasm]

I dont touch skeletons

[rough raptor]

No vfe!

[rough raptor]

The gun is from VFE but I wasn't sure if the animation stuff was from it or this one!!

[zealous chasm]

Do you another weapon mod?

[zealous chasm]

M60 will drop links

[hybrid stirrup]

They have a rigged gun? 😮 Does it have animations?

[zealous chasm]

Vfe has some animations for the fal and mp5 reload yeah

[hybrid stirrup]

Oooh, I thought the gun itself was rigged and had animations, but I see now the MP5_Aim_Rack/Rack is a player animation. I've tried before to make rigged weapons with animations that can trigger but it seems impossible at the moment so that's why I was so shocked

[zealous chasm]

Yeah all you can do is play with models to achieve animations haha

Well you know this more than me

[rough raptor]

wait so the problem isnt vfe?

i dont think i have anything else that adds them

[hybrid stirrup]

No it is yeah, I just thought that the animation was on the weapon itself, but it's a player animation. Not sure exactly what went wrong with it, but most likely it has some bone oddities due to the rig used likely being made for b41.
I can take a look at those animations and fix them for Marz with a current rig, shouldn't be too much work

[rough raptor]

Thanks tons! That should clean up the logs too!

def hot brass this time.

[zealous chasm]

yeah they are straight ported from 41

right now im trying to solve the issue of hot brass in 41 for multiplayer

uuuugh

[rough raptor]

@zealous chasmany idea what i did here?

[zealous chasm]

please dont pin alex, im the developer of the mod so dont bother him with something he doesnt handle. also I need a little bit more of context on how the error happen cuz im looking at that file and its just the params table. I dont perform operations on it so its weird

did it crash the game or just an erro pop

[rough raptor]

Just an error. Triggered when shooting an m16. I don't have hot brass installed right now so it might be calling it resulting in an empty return?

[zealous chasm]

Ah

You are right

Wait for real? The table param exist in the mod files. But unless you call them no issue will happen

I will take a look later

The function that calls it exist only in hot brass

I will investigate

[zealous chasm]

casing sound will now play in sync with the casing and tis location 😄

[rough raptor]

idk if this helps a bit more?

[zealous chasm]

is this like a single error?

the strange part is that is in the middle of somewhere I am not doing any operation

are you using hotbrass or no?

[rough raptor]

im not no. thats why im confused why its calling it!

[rough raptor]

it happens when a gun is fired.

but yeah. single error each fire

[zealous chasm]

let me look at the logic

[plucky island]

this mod is amazing looking actually

[quiet creek]

Try adjusting the load order?

[rough raptor]

its not load order. the mod is referancing a table in a mod that doesnt exist as its intentionally not loaded.

[quiet creek]

Is it b41?

[rough raptor]

no

[quiet creek]

Do you have the hot brass/ spent casing patch?

[rough raptor]

if you read up you would have seen this relates to the fact mar's b42 version of vanilla firearms expanded has hot brass as an optional dependency.

however part of VFE references hot brass in a not optional way. throwing the error mentioned and referenced above. its a relatively simple fix. afaik its already done. just waiting for mars to upload.

[quiet creek]

Okay my bad, also I forgot he also made port for the VFE for 42.

[zealous chasm]

I will look at this today

[zealous chasm]

maybe perhaps a next update?

[zealous chasm]

Playing around with MP performance

[strange moon]

funny how the gun animations in pz make it look like your character has TERRIBLE recoil anticipation when the gun is empty

great mod btw

[junior atlas]

Nice mod it works for me but is there any reason why the casings don’t have this animation? The casings just seem to spawn on the floor.. playing in b41 if it helps

[zealous chasm]

you are not using my mod then

cuuz I have not change anything in pz41

[junior atlas]

Well I am and as you can see the casings just spawn beneath my feet

[quiet creek]

IIRC guns of 93 aren't included in hot brass yet.

[zealous chasm]

Thank you

[zealous chasm]

You are using a bunch of mods that are doing the same. No wonder is not working. Guns of 93 has spawning casing logic plus spent casing mod does what you are seen

I patch guns via a table. If you get a gun with a vanilla ID like perhaps base.AssaultRifle then you may see casings come out

I have a patch repo where you can see which mods I have covered. 🙂

[junior atlas]

Well.. that clear things up thanks

[quiet creek]

You can try rain's, firearms, and vfe.

[zealous chasm]

testing was done in 41 MP, so I guess once 42 is stable I will try to fine tune as much as I can

one instance is muted

[zealous chasm]

@thick lintel it's in 41. Will work better when 42 is ready for mods in MP

[zealous chasm]

Update to this

Is it now

For version 42.13

[zealous chasm]

GGS native support

[quiet creek]

ggs?

gaels gun?

[zealous chasm]

Yes

[zealous chasm]

cant believe im gonna say this. as its ironic at all the memes I keep saying but yes

version 41 is compatible with Britas

[sharp sapphire]

this sick as hell

is this safe to add to a current b42 (after mp update)

and can you remove the shells off the ground or do they despawn
