New Year of Mod Ambitions

[rugged vale]

You know I'm back when there are new threads getting my attention. I'll revisit the glove/FBT mod later this year once more guides have been written. For Now I want to tidy up some previous requests and grab a couple new ones as well as lay out some roadmap of optimistic goals.

Quick/soon to work on :

Larger enemies- make them big. Hopefully compatible with single enemy mods so I can edit less and have more compatibility.

Stupid gun sounds-- been needing to work on this more, sound replacements are pretty easy and widely compatible.

Cigar mod patch-- fix the UV map and make the box big enough to contain the cigars

---In a couple months to work on

Boykisser Overhaul --- Replace all enemies and voicelines with Boykisser variants. Also will edit various other things around the radius to enhance the boykisser/boyhunter mood

FBT/FFB--- eventually I will get back to my glove mod to add real haptics to the radius and the first game guns. However I'm not focused or rushing for this one

See you all in the radius....

I had a really high thought for a MapLoader mod...

With the knowledge SNB found on editing Vanno I want to add a new rope path with a menu selector and a particle effect spraying the fog with some dust or gas or whtev. The Lore of the MapLoader being an explorer found a weird gas canister one day full of a colorful substance, he opened the valve near a fog wall and it flew to the fog and showed a new rope path appear from the fog as if it had always been there, just inside the haze...

This would allow for new maps to get loaded into a folder and appear in the context menu built into vanno near the new ropepath. Then spray some colored gas to represent the new map loaded in. This will take chuck's SDK and a bit of tinkering but I really feel we can add new maps with Chuck's SDK and the fact SNB found how to edit the umaps

Let me know your thoughts

[haughty coral]

youre wrong, i dont know how to edit umaps.
the mods ive been making recently only replace models, not umap locations.

as for the SDK stuff, just get chuck involved at this point.

@astral steppe

[rugged vale]

Lol, I will prolly during his classes I'll ask about this

[rugged vale]

Ah, you just replaced the sink and box then?

Meme Break

[rugged vale]

I'mma have to read the basics page again, It's been too long and I'm not baked enough yet but I am working on the cigar UV patch. I think chuck basically did my work but I have to remember how to organize and adjust it to be correct

[slate stump]

need meme voice lines for all the mimics

need a "no this is patric"

[slate stump]

yeah

[rugged vale]

Working through the audio now, this is too funny not to share

[rugged vale]

The longest part of my process is testing, I'm not even going to test everything like the spawn attack sound now being the pipe sound. I've gotten both mods made but now need my evaluation. I'll be testing the UV and box patch for the cigar and the "MemeMimic" sound pack

[rugged vale]

MemeMimic seems to work, but there is an additional footstep that is the majority use including the player I think. So I wanna leave those alone, I've replaced the forest step and the wet step sounds. Need to adjust the location of the cigar and flip the texture but then it should all be working

[rugged vale]

Need to head out, the Cigar mod is almost done, just need to flip the burning around

[slate stump]

hype for some actual good cigars

[rugged vale]

No, this is MemeMimics. Not Memetics

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradiusvr/mods/303

[slate stump]

hell yeah

[rugged vale]

pssssssssssssst... @slate stump I pushed a UV fix for the cigar mod now. The box is a skeletal mesh and Will take more time to resize correctly, but the cigar itself burns correctly. Let me know if you have any other opinions on the cigar, aswell as any other requests

my "real shit" got automodded lmao

[rugged vale]

LMAO

Gonna pull a SNB over there

[slate stump]

wouldn't surprise me with how the media channels have been

idk who was doing it if anybody but getting a functional pipe would be crazy

[rugged vale]

Like ?

Might be in my blunt mod made from the chuck guides once they drop

[slate stump]

https://tenor.com/view/cumbrian-pipe-gif-18948737

modding in bongs would be very funny but I'd think very difficult to do "propperly"

a pipe once you got the UV blueprint I'd think would be fine, just burns on the inside and smoke from the bowl

would look funny in the box

actually was looking for a cigar mod as I hate cigs, love everything else tabaco, specially pipes, cigars have gotten too expensive and cheeply made to bother with anymore but I still like the idea

[rugged vale]

I'm going to add custom items with the SDK so I'm adding a whole plant>nug>grind>fill process of BP and interfaces. Would you have interest in a tabacco plant also?

[slate stump]

wrong one lmao

https://tenor.com/view/head-nod-head-bang-yes-yes-yes-rock-n-roll-rock-on-gif-22374239

at this rate who needs itr2

actually pioneering modding support ourselves here

[slate stump]

still burns funny but it's getting better, the box has some wonky with it

[rugged vale]

Rainbow Pow! I'm definitely looking at that

[slate stump]

idk how the texture maps work but making an alt that leaves the box untouched would be neat, I have some marlboro die hard fans

[rugged vale]

So, I'm adding a hit sound replacer that might become annoying, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtEljxur6eI

[rugged vale]

Delaying hit confetti til the chuck guide drop

This is going to be fun once I have it though

[rugged vale]

Large enemies, DONE https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradiusvr/mods/304/

[rugged vale]

hey @astral steppe is there a way to export a skeletal mesh weight paint so I can keep the same animations(ish) for new humanoid models that are similar?

what if there was an artifact that gave you the shimmering armor the mimics have sometimes.... @slate stump

I love this dev Studio,

[astral steppe]

I haven’t done too much in the way of skeletal mesh stuff, but yes kinda

[rugged vale]

.... So is it just in the psk export from fmodel or do I need another tool?

[astral steppe]

Uhh

Yes

Yea psk from fmodel should work

[rugged vale]

https://tenor.com/view/deadmau5-monophobia-weird-gif-16682197

[rugged vale]

Got real high on the way home from grandmas house and had a great idea to make the Boykisser overhaul faster and with less issues. Just adapt the psk and recook it into what I need, done and dusted

Gosh this is a lot of work, but I feel the new shake up without a difficulty curve will be fun

WABBIT!!!

Final,

[rugged vale]

Eeepy, TODO:: Cut up more boykisser models into useful bits and mod the rest of the models, cut audio, plant audio, Test test test

[slate stump]

that would be sick as hell

[astral steppe]

The most important thing is, on export from blender, selecting “don’t add leaf bones” in the armature settings in the export window

[rugged vale]

LMAO this came out so perfect

[rugged vale]

Sometimes, you just import and drag a bit and it's all lined up,

[rugged vale]

Cooking the first test

pakked, and damn was that a stacked GUI of files, hopefully it works

Absolute oof

So the slider has slightly better progress than the other mimics. meaning it has a black material the mimics have world grid material. Might be due to the material slot count, but more apparent is they lost the animations. So I need to figure out why that is happening. The sounds are great, I tried to edit the Vanno music a tad and I think i need to listen to it more.

[slate stump]

a posing boy kisser is the funniest thing I've seen yet

[rugged vale]

Hey, which kinda of shimmer would you like for the Rift death? I can use any combination of these normals

[slate stump]

i don't know what that means or what I'm looking at

[rugged vale]

Normals are what create the "shadows" on textures. The flat ground with pebbles is actually flat, those pebbles shadows are faked with normal maps

[slate stump]

absolutely clueless when it comes to UE stuff

[haughty coral]

probably Normal 70

looks exotic

popcorn ceiling ah

[rugged vale]

Mmm, I do like how 70 looks on the impact

Need to pak it and see if it's good ingame

[rugged vale]

You'd crush it to get a random amount of shields. Not sure how it would be made as a ITR1 mod.
