[languid horizon]

I mean with shadows off and ffr on he could just have effects at low as well

[soft pond]

True

You gotta give us a hint or something man 🙏

[languid horizon]

I wouldn't be suprised if the render scale is turned down too

which would explain why the pictures are so blurry despite having a resolution higher than 1440p

oh

so its probably just the quest graphics settings

[waxen zephyr]

Whaat

[soft pond]

Oh so it is likely the quest graphics

Wow

It still looks surprisingly good

[languid horizon]

I mean

it still doesn't have shadows

so it kinda looks like crap

[soft pond]

I don't think so

[languid horizon]

I wish that they had a setting where only the sky light/direct light from the sun had a shadow and all other shadows were turned off

[soft pond]

I like the way it looks

[soft pond]

Dude, exactly

[languid horizon]

like a single realtime light with shadows has very minimal performance costs

even if it covers a large area

If the ||other guns|| I've seen are in this update, ill release an ITR archives video on them.

[soft pond]

Time to look through the files when I get home

[vivid pivot]

are the other guns from the list also in the update (sr25, mp9, m2)?

[soft pond]

Doesn't look like it

[winged lava]

I was expecting the mp9 as the devs accidentally leaked it but I guess not?

[soft pond]

Same I guess they are saving smgs for a later update

[languid horizon]

yeah I'm curious abiout them

after I eat lunch I can hop in and find out

[loud void]

faiv billion grips

[soft pond]

Holy fore grips

[vivid pivot]

wheres the gsh

[languid horizon]

I'll check the stash where its supposed to spawn in a second

right now I gotta disable the taa

[vivid pivot]

they removed the gsh didnt they

[languid horizon]

not sure

yet

[soft pond]

Why would they remove the gsh

[vivid pivot]

no clue

it's not in the shop apparently

[soft pond]

Hmm

Weird

[loud void]

considering we have bugfixes for it in this update i doubt it

[vivid pivot]

strange

i gotta get on the game and check the update out

[loud void]

yeah

i got work </3

[vivid pivot]

how do i move beta save files to main game

[languid horizon]

alright

[soft pond]

It's probably moved, they did say they repositioned some items

[vivid pivot]

again

[languid horizon]

taa disabled

hopping back in game

[loud void]

went ahead and pulled the trigger on buying the game for a friend tho so we gonna do a run when i get back

[upbeat oak]

stashed only now from what I can see

[soft pond]

Oh no way

Damn what a loss

[vivid pivot]

it's so over...

[loud void]

i wonder if thats intentional or just an oversight

[upbeat oak]

I plugged my beta save into the main save and my regular gsh got converted to stashed.

[vivid pivot]

so is the fort just a reskin or is it actually different in some way from the mod gsh

[vivid pivot]

could you tell me how to do that

i forgot

i cant find the save files anywhere

[upbeat oak]

your saves are in your documents folder. just move one of your .sav files from IntoTheRadius2 Beta to IntoTheRadius.

[vivid pivot]

thanks

[vivid pivot]

theres no beta wth

nevermind found it

[soft pond]

Oh dude that C4 item is so cool

probably just an NBC type suit

I just found these developer debug menus for ITR1. Im thinking If I can get them to spawn, I want to put them in Cookieutils

[lost ore]

😎

[upbeat oak]

oh dear. I got to disable this before releasing tho

[visual tangle]

damn I could’ve ran through the SDK and put all the wacky stuff in here

maybe I will

[ocean path]

how does bro find this stuff 💔

what's the name, i could check in 1.0 if it's there

[visual tangle]

chuck’s SDK has a lot of the stuff still in the game

some things had to be manually recreated

but there is some cool stuff they scrapped

[upbeat oak]

found in the ITR1 files. Imma try spawning it in.

this is separate from the G17 mag btw

[upbeat oak]

Way more boring than I had hoped. It's basically just a Glock 17 mag that they copied and just realized midway through that they were cross compatible and dropped the development for it.

It doesn't even go in the 18c

[orchid turtle]

goes in the M9 lol

[ocean path]

is this just stock windows fileexplorer?

[orchid turtle]

nopw

fmodel

[ocean path]

ohh k

thought he fully decomped itr1 with unrealpak or smth

[visual tangle]

no

we have multiple tools to extract and edit things

reason why we cant do much with itr2

[ocean path]

i know

[ocean path]

you can

what's the problem? aes key or mapping file?

i literally have both lmao

[ocean path]

itr2 should be in there since this is my general list for aes keys, and i also pulled the usmap with ue4ss

[upbeat oak]

We already have the mapping file and ITR2 doesn't use AES encryption. The issue is that ITR2 uses IOStore. IOStore is essentially the spawn of satin when It comes to unreal modding because it is super hard to work with and has some super complicated asset registry quirks.

[ocean path]

wait it doesn't?

huh weird, i had to dump the aes for my fmodel to work

[upbeat oak]

neither of the games use it.

[ocean path]

yeah i remember itr1 not having an aes key

maybe before i found out about mappings i thought itr2 needed an aes

[upbeat oak]

never needed an aes. Ive modded all versions of the game.

[ocean path]

ah k

[upbeat oak]

you may have tried AES and mapping in parallel.

I wonder what “zone buffer” is

[visual tangle]

buffer is pervomay

no idea what river and railyard are

[soft pond]

Jump, motherfucker

[winged lava]

Is there a command that can be executed to just spawn in one of these levels?

[loud void]

id imagine if the levels existed we probably wouldve already found them no?

might just be a dead reference

[winged lava]

I mean, I know the Human has probably visited all of them

[upbeat oak]

ITR uses a weird level loading system where a level is a collection of assets that can be loaded in rather than being it's own scene. For example, the construction building in boloky is actually it's own level that gets loaded separately from the master level.

So is the train station, village, castle, floating house, and rivers

All the levels that y'all are seeing are just little fragments of the levels that are already in the game.

"zone buffer" is actually part of the master level as part of ITR's convoluted level loading system.

I would like to get into that test map tho.

I know there is a way to load in because I saw Conroy Jenkins do a video in it once.

[visual tangle]

the map locations are somewhere

maybe not

Nothing as interesting as that one

Lots of cool developmental stuff

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3E9O2J

This one is pretty interesting

[visual tangle]

some of this is really cool

wonder how theyll be used when we start adding custom items

especially ammos

and maybe these functions will be in some SDK for custom map making

[winged lava]

Do you think we will actually get hallow point bullets or is it just proof of concept

[vivid osprey]

This makes me want a map with more height variation. Most of the maps in this game are (relatively) flat.

@tacit gust

[upbeat oak]

I just found an early development model prototype for the town's floating cube.

It's not that interesting but thought I would share here anyway.

no UV map was made for it, and the polycount was about what you would expect from an unoptimized cube of relatively medium poly balls.

[lost ore]

😎

[soft pond]

Just a bunch of Balls.

I wonder how the shader works for it to go through like the cross sections of each sphere

Cause like the surface of the cube in game isn't like the model

It keeps on shifting and warping through the different spheres

[loud void]

wait i thought this was just how it was

wheres the normal one then

[soft pond]

I think the normal one looks just the same

Just this one was unoptimized

[quick trench]

Doesn't the one in the game have some flat surfaces?

[soft pond]

Well that's the thing I was talking about

The model we have now looks the same as the beta model

I think what happens is as the cube moves around, it like, moves through its sphere as well

And that creates that weird 4d effect thing where it looks like you can see the inside of the spheres

I wish I could explain this in a better way

But it's just so

Weird

[loud void]

its like its clipped down

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Stoner 👀

[vivid pivot]

we are so getting the sr25 next update

[upbeat oak]

Kostia has confirmed on farmertrueVR's Q&A that the next weapon has something to do with Eugene Stoner.
I think "Eugene sniper rifle" was mentioned, but with the accent, I was having trouble understanding so it also might have been "Eugene Stoner rifle"

[orchid turtle]

Only thing that fits that description is the AR10

and the SR25 is an AR10

[upbeat oak]

I feel like Sniper rifle narrows it down to too few rifles that it's probably unlikely that was the hint.

[soft pond]

Well SR-25 was in the files

[vivid pivot]

stoner made the sr25

[errant ridge]

i think lorenzo is correct in his observation he didn’t make that many sniper rifles and it’s in the files plus there’s already been confirmed sightings of 762X 51 in the game

[sand otter]

And some weird bug fixes mentioned around guns like that and a classified gun

[winged lava]

1 until release but thats still a little vague

Like will we be getting some on release too?

[sand otter]

In 10.3 the icon for the center of the radius was a church

[vivid pivot]

wasnt it a floating house?

[winged lava]

That's what I thought

[lost ore]

I thought it was a house too

[soft pond]

It was a floating house

[visual tangle]

ever shot a gun in itr1 and seen the barrel smoke be wacky?

im very very sure there is some sort of temperature system involved

if the variable "temperature" is over 100 then it spawns in P_BarrelSmoke

which is NOT the muzzleflash

[soft pond]

oh wow

thats really interesting

so if you shoot for longer then the barrel smoke will change?

because of the temp difference

[visual tangle]

well theres some other particle effect after the "temperature" is above 100

you ever see the smoke line after firing the gun?

let me try and find it

[soft pond]

ooohhh

yea ik what your talking about

[soft pond]

impeccable aim I must say

[visual tangle]

been playing vr since i was 12 lol

no life

[soft pond]

ayy same

I remember the first vr game I played was that space pirate shooter game on the htc vive

They had one at my dad's office for some testing reason I dont remember but the room was like kitted out for vr

and along side their work testing they just had a bunch of different vr games

so when I visited I would just play on that the entire time

[vivid osprey]

I really wonder what happened to this building. It seems to be completely gone from the game. All thats in the crater now is that portal island. There seems to be some evidence of being able to go there with the area by the apartment on the southern edge of the crater and the other area north east by the train tracks that both go down towards the bottom. I hope it comes back in a later update as the area for the final mission in the map.

I also do hope we get at least another mission in outskirts. The current final mission of the game feels really anticlimactic

[winged lava]

The devs have mentioned revisiting POIs

This building looks badass so I hope they continue development on it

[vivid osprey]

Same

[winged lava]

In 1.0 I'm assuming pretty much all of the missions are being replaced

[vivid osprey]

I just want more to explore. The apartments are cool but a little bit repetitive for me. I want a proper cqc environment that isn’t the same 4 presets on each floor

[soft pond]

They did say in the anniversary interview that they are not doing this anymore

[winged lava]

"We're also revisiting key points of other maps to improve gameplay flow and visual quality, adding more props and environmental details along the way."

[winged lava]

I don't remember kostya being super clear on this subject, do you have a direct quote?

[soft pond]

lemme see if I can find it

[upbeat oak]

I just found some juicy stuff.
here are some early development resources.
cant share some of the more exciting stuff sadly due to potential leaks.

[soft pond]

I don't even know what looks different

https://tenor.com/view/test-testing-testing123-gif-21562252

Time to analyze

Allright so,

1. Different languages: English and Russian I think
2. Some type of really early untextured new glove model possibly for the artifact holder?
3. Intractability with the sensors? Possibly for a mission where we have to actually place a sensor in a specific spot in the radius rather than taking one out
4. I have no idea

I think number 2 might just be a skeleton model or something for the hands or something

If you ever want to share some of the more exciting stuff with a trusted source, my dm's are always open 👀

And my lips are always sealed 🤐

[upbeat oak]

1 is correct
2 is indeed the skeleton and the controller displaying.
3 is an early development variant of the sensor (I have no clue what it's about)
4 is a debug option that culls all trees. (Notice how no trees are leaning out of the fog wall)

As much as I would love to share more, I'm not looking to get on CM's bad side

[winged lava]

imo looks so much better than modern itr1 atleast color and atmosphere wise

dont know why they greyed it out so much

[visual tangle]

could just be editing the image after

i remember watching someone play 2.3 and he said the colors were way different

mod idea?

depends if i can just rip the .umap

how do i install an older version again

nevermind itll be a compat nightmare and i tried to edit the lightmap.umap before and it was weird

if i can do that

ill check later today , ill prob start at 2.3 but these are beta screenshots

[visual tangle]

hm

ill check

[winged lava]

or possible screenshots ig

[visual tangle]

might as well since im doing stuff

testing

[visual tangle]

yeah its not like

right

the lighting isnt correct

think the old look would just be like the game postprocess

[winged lava]

So it's all smoke and mirrors?

[visual tangle]

no it just isnt right

like across the game updates the light casters got moved

and the radius itself isnt right

like

really big

[winged lava]

Oh gotcha so trying to use the older light maps and shit just breaks everything?

Not the very experienced with us so excuse my cluelessness

[visual tangle]

yes

[winged lava]

I can't get the depot download for the 2.0 betas to work

I think I need a beta key

But I have no idea if that would even work

I have determined that lighting was definitely more varied before 2.0 beta 6 atleast

cant do the betas

wont let you

doing this one

otherwise its this or 4th june/may 7th

[languid horizon]

yeah if the branch is locked even if at one point it was unlocked it doesn't let you download it

because I think steam stores the builds themselves and if you can't access the branch you can't access the build

[visual tangle]

okay

keep in mind itll wipe your saves

shotgun mimic sounds like a freaking barret sniper bro

also the music in this version is so haunting

[visual tangle]

shotgun mimic shoot from like 100 feet away

pobeda was the most lame

pervomay was quite cool though

what version was this again

[visual tangle]

uh

idk

probably said in hte main menu

2.0.0 r7724

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpgY7PbcHps heres the whole hour

forgot to send it

pervomay was easily the best

first time using OBS to record gameplay idk if i could make it better

17:40 for the zone exit

i liked vanno too

looked better

[soft pond]

oh my god pervomay looks amazing

it looks so much better a little bit darker

[visual tangle]

the tonemapping was horrendous

39:00

look towards the radius and it got so dark

[soft pond]

oh yea that is pretty bad 💀

[visual tangle]

Pervomay 17:40 Pobeda 29:00 Bolotky 42:00

[soft pond]

tbh I don't like ITR2's lighting changes as well, like if you stand still and focus you can see the shadows of things like trees jump a couple of inches as time passes by, and you can see the tone of the lighting change very quickly too

[visual tangle]

def liked the older skybox

bolotky at night was beautiful

[winged lava]

Weird thing to ask but could you take a screenshot of the ash texture in some good lighting

[visual tangle]

id say play the 11/25/2021 build instead

fixes some of the issues i was experiencing with no real content changes

i think kolkhoz is unlocked with a mission?

wasnt on the map at all

think i may legit play this version then

take a ton of screenshots

and yes the 11/4/2021 version is the first public release of 2.0

castle and kolkhoz were added on 10/1

suppose that they are just hidden by missions

I bet this has been in the files ever since the start but I never bothered to go look

[winged lava]

That's gonna be so immersive in co-op

[soft pond]

Also this is the placeholder image for the item preview

[median marlin]

Yessss finally

[upbeat oak]

https://youtu.be/hIyyKMKpvCE?si=us7ksZlOC8ORYLxA

[soft pond]

MY

GOD

[upbeat oak]

Not much groundbreaking stuff, since I wasn't able to publicly show before official release.

[soft pond]

You sneaky little cookie

While you are here

Would you mind helping me find the new distorion sensor in the files

I have looked everywhere

still cant find it

[median marlin]

He's gonna have a blast with that thing

[upbeat oak]

Ill have a look in the files later.

Not to tease anything, but that mosin was far from the most interesting thing I am currently being "sneaky" about

[soft pond]

god damn it man

pleasseeee

just a hint

[median marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-it-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-gif-4883506

[vivid osprey]

the people hunger for a morsel of info. Please Mr.Human, even if its extremely vague

We’re starving

[upbeat oak]

You shall receive a single word that will not make any sense to people out of the loop.

"Underwater"

[soft pond]

Oh no

[vivid osprey]

SCUBA MIMIC IS REALLL

[soft pond]

Ohhh no

[vivid osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-chopper-chopper-one-piece-crying-crying-meme-gif-26577246

[soft pond]

Now I am gonna make 15 3 page documents on how this word could be connected to anything and everything

[vivid osprey]

also does anyone else think that somehow human has access to dev only builds

[soft pond]

He's smarb

thats how

[vivid osprey]

true

But also i swear up until the first .14 beta there was nothing relating to the mosin except the model of the cartridge

So either he’s a wizard

Or he has some special access

[upbeat oak]

They did a great job hiding the assets deep in the files to a point I didn't even realize it was in the game either until I saw it laying on the floor in the dev range after the unreal engine 5.5.3 update. In my dev range mod that unintentionally made it possible to obtain, I actually wrote some code that permanently hides the mosin and Benelli from visibility at all times so that nothing got leaked because of my mod.

[loud void]

it was there last beta

[upbeat oak]

Sorry to get y'all excited about "underwater" I was referring to the new underwater peninsula locations that were made accessible this update after not thoroughly reading through the patch notes.

Still some exciting stuff tho. Just thought the underwater peninsula locations were somehow related which I now know they are not.

[vivid osprey]

RIP to my scuba mimic dreams

[soft pond]

No more essays

[median marlin]

No

More essays now

The "human" is covering for the UNPSC

[dense igloo]

Woah why did i never know this existed?

[spark narwhal]

Guess Ill add some stuff I found from the latest beta update

Not sure if they were posted earlier

[winged lava]

Smoke gernades😳

[winged lava]

That might be generic unreal stuff but that looks interesting

[soft pond]

The paint spray stuff might be for gun skins

[median marlin]

Yeah that was mentioned a while back

I hope they decide to add it after full release

We really don't need that right now

[spark narwhal]

yeah if painting guns comes before stuff like the artifact lab that would be weird

mostly since artifacts can only be used for selling now since they removed the mission type to turn them in

[median marlin]

We def do need flares tho

It's so dark

Flares were so good in itr1

[spark narwhal]

NVG has been in the files for sometime now but not sure when they'll implement it

[median marlin]

Never

I hate the idea of NVGs in itr

I don't think they'll slot well into the primitive combat of itr

[spark narwhal]

I mean itr2 is more high tech so it would make sense at least for late game since theres headlamps for mid game already

[median marlin]

Depends on how they do it

But for me, the general idea is still off putting

[loud void]

this is the cube iirc

[loud void]

🙏

[tender mist]

Im kinda conflicted on nods. Sine some old soviet ones are drip but what id really want to see at night is the itr1 rifle light

[dense igloo]

Looks like the cube if you ask me

[soft pond]

mmmm, maybe a rectagular prism with equal sized sides...

[median marlin]

Yes fr

I theorized before that maybe the beefier attachments are coming later

[tender mist]

yeah i hope

[waxen zephyr]

What the heck is dis

[soft pond]

something the devs enabled by mistake

that plus the UNPSC database

so far we have no clue what it could mean

but it may be some sort of story related mission?

I hope

sure is interesting though

[median marlin]

How do you know this?!

FED

UNPSC operative?!

[soft pond]

I aksed Exicross

[median marlin]

Oh

Whatever

You're still a fed

[soft pond]

don't shoot the messenger

[median marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-taylor-why-why-me-me-slide-gif-1750472773522863929

[soft pond]

because the messenger has a wife and children

[median marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/hog-rider-clash-royale-thinking-gif-7968908407873406663

This is a tough one

I want top shoot the messenger

[soft pond]

wait

im the messenger

[median marlin]

But I cannot

[soft pond]

I don't have a wife and kids

[median marlin]

You've made this a lot easier

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-gun-kermit-gun-gif-16355306064126846866

[soft pond]

ok dont shoot the messenger because the messenger wants to play ITR2 when it fully releases

[median marlin]

Nvm

I will reverse time

[soft pond]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-strange-dr-strange-strange-benedict-cumberbatch-avengers-gif-22604801

[soft pond]

[hoary halo]

I loke this one specifically

[upbeat oak]

I was working on porting cookie utils to 1.0 and found this in the files. I've never seen this enemy before.
Was this enemy ever actually present in the game at any point?
Please excuse the music btw.

[loud void]

doesnt play on my pc

oh wtf ive never seen that before

[tender mist]

The itr2.0 statue but as fragment? Wierd

[vivid pivot]

looks like some sort of early fragment. this wasnt in 1.0 or earlier versions from what i've seen

[vivid osprey]

i think i saw that somewhere a while ago. i think it was supposed to be what the fragment would have become when the switch from 1.0 to 2.0 happened but they decided to keep it the same

[visual tangle]

thats sick

maybe i saw something with some SKs when i was digging for the seeker model

[winged lava]

Is it Using the statue fragments as projectiles?

[upbeat oak]

yup

[winged lava]

It looks 75% finished they should've kept it

[soft pond]

Oh my god that looks terrifying

That looks like if the ITR2 fragment was put into ITR1

Like that is basically the ITR2 fragment

[winged lava]

If there are any other hidden 1.0 features I would love to see them

[visual tangle]

is 1.0 on ue4.27?

[lost ore]

That’s amazing!!!

[upbeat oak]

It's on UE4.26

[shrewd sonnet]

It kinda looks like someone took a bit out of the radius

[lost ore]

3-players?

[soft pond]

This was from CM's radius tours

They would lead groups of people around the radius

And yea more than 2

More than 4 I think as well

[lost ore]

They did up to 8

😎

[soft pond]

I'd love to go on a radius tour

[willow sky]

where did you get this is it data mined or do you have a super secret dev build??

[winged lava]

I fear he will not tell

[vivid osprey]

I don’t know who’s more likely to be an undercover dev, Human or Actual Artifacts

[shrewd sonnet]

Wouldn't be suprised if Human is on CM Games' list of people they really dont like

[soft pond]

He might be

Because of the

incident....

[shrewd sonnet]

Human is def on CM's hitlist
-# im kidding, they probably dont have one... but if they did

[shrewd sonnet]

I am not familiar with the ball knowledge

[soft pond]

Human leaked the outskirts map

[shrewd sonnet]

oop

[soft pond]

And let's just say cm wasn't quite happy with that

And now he hides all his secrets

And REFUSES to tell me ANYTHING

And he knows EVERYTHING

[shrewd sonnet]

Please Human DM me something please!!!
-# not actually tho, but like actually, but if like CM sees this, not actually, but if they don't, then actually

[upbeat oak]

If I'm not carful, the UNPSC's Vanno supply team might stop restocking the toilet paper in my sector again.

[soft pond]

Please human, something, ANYTHING you can trust me my lips will be sealed

[soft pond]

Just curious, now that it has been revealed, did you know about minesweeper on the tablet? Or was that not in the pc files yet

[upbeat oak]

Completely new info to me. It never really crossed my mind to check the tablet for anything.

[loud void]

i dont remember when i looked but i was looking at tablet files a while back and i dont remember seeing anything related

[soft pond]

Interesting

Very interesting

[quick trench]

Only on quest

[soft pond]

Yes I know

I was just wondering if it had been in the PC files before

[quick trench]

My friend would probably play itr2 only for that

[soft pond]

Just not implemented

[winged lava]

Minesweeper is goated

[worn compass]

There is minesweeper in itr2?

[soft pond]

In the quest beta yes

[worn compass]

Cool

[willow sky]

also i found some pretty cool stuff turns out the mp412 rex was in the game before the desert eagle

[loud void]

the rex was in itr1 for a very long time yeah

along with some other pistols

like a pl15

[soft pond]

there's an icon for a ||Revolver drum||👀

Does anyone know if this is used anywhere in game rn

[waxen zephyr]

Is that real?

[soft pond]

Very real

[worn compass]

i think it might be used for the izh

i would check but i dont wanna get up rn

[vivid pivot]

It kind of looks like the ITR1 achievement icons.

[soft pond]

Oh yea no it just looks like that because there isn't any texture loaded on to it

[vivid pivot]

oh

[soft pond]

The actual symbol should be White in color

[vivid pivot]

if it's an icon then it could be for a mission type or something

[soft pond]

It's specifically for the weapon inspect menu

[vivid pivot]

ohhhhh

its on the ammo counter thing

or it was

i think the IZH had it

[soft pond]

I'll have to double check in game

[vivid pivot]

it's there

[soft pond]

Darn it is red

And darn it isn't for a revolver

[vivid pivot]

i mean

[soft pond]

Now I'm severely disappointed in myself

[vivid pivot]

in itr1 the izh and revolver kind of functioned the same way

and since the icon is a revolver drum

we might get a revolver in itr2 too

[soft pond]

Mayhaps

[waxen zephyr]

im praying for next update

[tender mist]

this is the same location right?

[winged lava]

Seems so

[tender mist]

do we know the other pictures where they where taken?

[winged lava]

The church is in like half of the pictures so we can guestimate from there

[soft pond]

The last shot in the early access teaser trailer is from right by the canyon anomaly cluster in the forest

Thing is that it is completely unrecognizable because of the foliage

In the trailers, there are no trees at all giving a clear view to the radius, but in game today, it is completely surrounded by trees

[tribal vault]

Team trees working hard 🔥

[loud void]

yeah we have alot more foliage now than at the start

[tender mist]

Remember that time they accidently removed like half the trees?

[vivid pivot]

red and tree-less was imo the worst version of forest

[tender mist]

Yeah i agree

I dont know if im just crazy but itr2 early days looked so good

[vivid pivot]

first version looked stunning

glowing jaws were a cool thing too

[waxen zephyr]

dark times

[tender mist]

atleast i got this cool picture from it

[silver kayak]

Into the peak

[winged lava]

wasd in 0.5

my other clips corrupted, but you can pick up items too its just very jank

[tender mist]

Just randomly realised this is actualy the same building

Am i the only one who thinks stuff like this is neat? Its early forest map, also has churge in backgrounds

[soft pond]

Oh neat

I never noticed the church in the background

Thats interesting that it was first made then removed then re added

[tender mist]

i also tought the metorite looking thing where the churge is now was a giant reflector coming down. but now it seems like churge bells now we know

also i love how they had itr1 place holder items. like the 2nd pic the old itr1 player model. and in some of the early immages they had a probe sack instead of the new probes

[soft pond]

HD view of the ||walkie talkie||

[winged lava]

[upbeat oak]

Even more HD image of the ||walkie talkie|| (the UNPSC is totally coming after me)

Human

Human there are so many things I want to say

Good and bad

[loud void]

they stole yo arms....

[soft pond]

Oh man the UNPSC would hate it if you were to send a photo of the 2 ram rods as well

They would haaaatee you

Do it human, let the intrusive thoughts win

I beg to differ

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-jarvis-meme-enhance-gif-10207712088460034302

[soft pond]

Oh

Oh wait

my computer

it just sent back a result

Oh my god

You thought you were sneaky, but you are no match for technology

[visual tangle]

too industrial for my tastes

[spiral folio]

well the devs have different tastes and they're the devs so...

[soft pond]

In terms of my taste

I'm more of a sweet and spicy kinda guy

But I like salty too

Haven't tasted industrial yet

[tender mist]

randomly have this image. i cant tell where this is might be early forest

[loud void]

it is yeah

this was fairly close to the entrance

[soft pond]

Its that bolotky recreation area

[lost ore]

That spot is still there. It’s right here:

Where the “base” of the arrow is

Arrow is for the view direction

[tender mist]

Oh yeah i can see that. Isnt there a blue bucket you can pick up against that well?

[lost ore]

I think so

[soft pond]

Spaghettified train tracks

[spiral folio]

@daring pivot I see a radio tower

[daring pivot]

Not tall enough

[spiral folio]

lol

[daring pivot]

I need to make an artist’s rendition of Pechorsk TV tower

So people pick up what I’m putting down

I cooked hard with #1437560422382440469

[granite patio]

very very secret

[soft pond]

Extremely

Tell no one

[flint crystal]

i can make it

[lost ore]

I decided to visit this spot...

looks sad now

[flint crystal]

Is the second photo the quest version

Or is PCvr really this bland and I'm just a simpleton who can't see it

[lost ore]

no...it's PCVR on all high graphics settings

[flint crystal]

I mean, I don't want the radius to look all luscious

It should be dead and sad

I also want a game that runs decent yk

And pcvr is very demanding as is

[winged lava]

Definitely not luscious before far, prefer the old version

[soft pond]

That first photo is probably a pre rendered image

Probably not even from when the game had a playable build

Just concept art from when the Forest was first being created

[spiral folio]

It does say "early in-game footage" on it so...

[soft pond]

True but it could also probably just be in-engine footage

[lost ore]

I have screenshots from every build

my early screenshots look way better

I'm hoping it's just for EA

while they do the quest port

because pre-quest build...

I have amazing screenshots

[soft pond]

Agreed

0.10 pictures were exquiste

[lost ore]

way crispier looking

[soft pond]

the lighting

[soft pond]

https://tenor.com/view/sickgang-gif-13658976598514502360

[daring pivot]

Yeah the issue is that the game has too warm of a colour palette

It’s all orangey hue to everything

Needs more blue hue

Blueness

[lost ore]

[winged lava]

The strength and colors of the modern lighting is a lot better but the quality is worse

[winged lava]

Normal textures also look worse imo

[winged lava]

Those trees are so fucked up

[lost ore]

I hope it's just WIP

and will look good again

[winged lava]

Guessing so the amount of foliage and detail they have added is astonishing with higher fidelity it would look 10x better than early builds

[lost ore]

this was peak ITR2 graphics

[winged lava]

Quest users wish it looked this good

[daring pivot]

ITR64

[daring pivot]

Ok but how have you screwed the graphics this hard?

I wanna know how to get the PS2 graphics

[lost ore]

no clue

[granite patio]

looks better than the quest version

[flint crystal]

the quest version is really impressive man, dont shit on the devs work here

[granite patio]

never said the quest version was bad or anything, its great dont get me wrong but it definitely could’ve waited a bit more before releasing

[soft pond]

Thats funny, I had seen a lot of people begging the devs to release the update as soon as possible back before the beta released

[flint crystal]

wdym

the game (NOT THE BETA) is in a great state rn for a standalone version

[granite patio]

currently imo the color palette on the quest version looks very weird compared to the pc version, idk if thats just me but also i will crash in the quest version (not the beta) very commonly from things like the ash statues

[flint crystal]

I never really experienced this

And the color palette looks the same.

As someone who plays both that is

Obv quest is more dull without the better lighting

[spiral folio]

beta 2 is actually great

not sure where this is coming from

[flint crystal]

It's got issues still

Better than before

But it's still stuttering really bad on outskirts for me

[spiral folio]

so does the PCVR version

[flint crystal]

Yeah, not noticeable frame drops and stuttering lmao

[spiral folio]

it's an early access title, bugs are going to happen

[flint crystal]

Forest and peninsula run great

Outskirts is still pretty on and off

[spiral folio]

They're trying to port a PC game to essentially mobile

imagine trying to play helldivers 2 on a iPhone 7

[flint crystal]

Dude I know. That's what I'm saying. The beta is a beta it's going to be bad for the sake of fixing it

Outskirts runs fine but it's really hard to actually play on

They will finish it though and get it working

It's also cause for some reason they are loading the maps as you play and not before

[spiral folio]

Only gameplay issue I've had in outskirts is the cube can see you through buildings

[spiral folio]

I don't think this is the case in Beta 2

I got a crazy long loading time when opening the game for the first time after the beta dropped

[flint crystal]

Still renders during gameplay, it's just way better than before

[spiral folio]

and when I did load in, it was buttery smooth

[flint crystal]

Either my headset is messed TF up, or the beta is just a stuttering mess rn still

And my quest three is brand new lol

Played about an hour of outskirts on quest and there were frame drops a lot the closer I got to the middle, short freezing, etc

[spiral folio]

I play without anomalies, and those cause a pretty significat amount of lag, so this could be the disparity between our stories

[flint crystal]

Yeah you aren't playing the normal game brah you are removing a WHOLE core feature bro 😭

[spiral folio]

the setting is there, and I'm going to use it to customize MY experience

[flint crystal]

yeah but it isnt THE intended game and is why you arent getting lag. you are removing a huge part of the game

try having them on then play outskirts

[spiral folio]

it's like getting mad at someone for playing with keep inventory in Minecraft

[flint crystal]

i am not in any way saying its bad not havign them bro.

im saying thats why you arent lagging

you literally removed a huge part of the game and is making the game less demanding

[spiral folio]

Fine. I'll try outskirts with anomalies

also, I don't think this is the channel for this discussion

[soft pond]

Yes

Early radius and leaks only please

[flint crystal]

i wish the walkie was in the watch adn you had to bring it to your mouth to speak, idk why but the motion of bringing the watch to your mouth just feels UNPSC tech like

[vivid osprey]

I honestly like the look of the fog. It reminds me a lot of living in California during the 2015 King fire. I wonder if its intentional considering the whole map is covered in ash

[soft pond]

Ello electrical tower

[spiral folio]

that doesn’t feel nearly tactical enough tho

[sturdy junco]

i really wish this was the store

[soft pond]

I mean it does look extremely similar to the one we have in game

Especially this one

[soft pond]

Was watching through the ITR2 EA teaser trailer again like I always do

Just had to throw the early map in here

I wonder how different this version of the map would have been

Because it looks like it wouldn't have been a global map like in todays version

it would have only been the map of the location you are currently in

And all the different buttons and such

Data base would have probably been the UNPSC database that was added in early

The My Location button seems interesting because we can't actually see the player location on this map

so I wonder if that would have worked as like a recenter button like we have oew

The legend button would probably show the names of icons like we had in ITR2, idk why they removed that it would be nice to have a legend in the new map to understand the different landmarks

And then briefing would have probably shown what missions were in progress

Whenever the next Dev QnA occurs, I'll probably ask about those details

Ah the memories

I remember I was thinking about this exact same stuff like a year and a half ago

back when we knew nothing

[lost ore]

[loud void]

another shining example of why sliders are light work

[flint crystal]

you must be one of them estonian sissy boys who plays the radius with very low damage

[daring pivot]

No… sliders are just not hard

You have a skill issue if you can’t fight em

[flint crystal]

do you play on max enemy health and damage? they are a nightmare when you first have to fight them in kohlkoz. and then when 3 ju,p you in pervomay later in the game its hel

[daring pivot]

Have you considered joining the church of magdump and walking backwards?

Sure they are scary

But as an enemy to fight, very simple

[winged lava]

Nah sliders are easy work

Just gotta actually hit your shots

[visual tangle]

only way id die by sliders is if i run out of ammo and dont have enough stamina to run

[loud void]

notice how 0 damage is taken during that fight

itr1 is just an incredibly easy game

[flint crystal]

yeah when you arent on the hardest possible settings lol

and dont even get me started on mods like STALKER

[spiral folio]

i tried hardest possible. Sliders are one of the easiest enemies to fight once you know how they work

The only danger they pose is getting jumped by one

[loud void]

sliders literally cant hit you if you walk backwards lol they are easy on every difficulty

i play with the difficulty cranked

[flint crystal]

yeah, which happens 99% of the time on the HIGHEST possible difficulty lmao

they can sense you from god knows where and just creep up on you while your looting a house

[winged lava]

Poster from early 1.0?

[loud void]

their teleporting sound can also be heard from hella far away

[flint crystal]

well when your hard of hearing it doesnt really matter yk

[lost ore]

not sure

maybe it was never used
