Reclamation Mod Project (and other misc. mods)

[slim stag]

I was wondering if this is normal

oh yeah, it's there by default, it just looks more obvious in the mod

[plucky cloud]

is there a way to reduce the foliage?

or would ingame settings work fine

[smoky venture]

Just ingame settings atm

[smoky venture]

this pretty much only goes out to r3mains unless anyone else is acquainted with modding but

i need ideas for alternative materials to use for artifacts

might try my hand at making the artifacts more industrial looking instead of... video game crystals?

unless i can manage to clone and edit the original artifact material to make it function drastically different

[solemn talon]

I think ITR2 has some very industrial looking artifacts https://into-the-radius-2.fandom.com/wiki/Artifacts

[smoky venture]

yeah from what i've seen they look pretty cool

but tbh i wasn't sure if other people felt similarly

[smoky venture]

heavy helix

[slim gazelle]

🤩

[vital fractal]

try that

theres

PrizeGlow, UVMult, ExponentIn, RustAmount, WindSpeed (S)

which i feel like could all affect the emis

nvm

also cant edit materials

only instances

[smoky venture]

epic

pretty sure i just have to work the geometry around it

some of the vanilla artifacts look terrible too

[vital fractal]

do all the artifacts just use mi_artifact

this is your fault

[smoky venture]

thats cool asf

personally i felt like the artifact material on the guns/armor was kinda.. egregious

what parameters did you change

[vital fractal]

did them wrong

think it was movementscale

.005 default idk what i had it on here

its not prizeglow

[smoky venture]

should i be editing these parameters in uassetgui?

[vital fractal]

wait im not done

think you can edit them in a mesh? idk

still need to figure out what controls the emissive

[smoky venture]

i mean

thats why im asking

[smoky venture]

would love to have artifacts that have subtle movement to them tho

would make them feel a bit more alive

[vital fractal]

movementscale

[smoky venture]

otherwise i'm about to start giving them materials that are not artifact related, like rocks

might have to uvmap ig

would it be possible to edit night-eye so its a toggle instead of needing to hold it in one hand? i was curious about that

otherwise its pretty bad as soon as you can buy nvg, and steps aren't very good either

regen is really the only artifact which matters

[vital fractal]

would have to recreate the whole thing

TempMin and TempMAx

1387.0398>9774.313

reducing the max to like 4000 was nice

[smoky venture]

are you editing the parameter in uasset gui or what

relinquish the forbidden knowledge

[vital fractal]

yes

[smoky venture]

ic

i'll edit later

deadlock

[vital fractal]

didnt have to add in namemap either

maybe a parent thing

[smoky venture]

is it already there?

[vital fractal]

no

it added itself when i added the row

[smoky venture]

erm

[vital fractal]

yeah reduce TempMAx to like 4000

and edit MovementScale i think

for the wacky movement

[smoky venture]

i would only want the most subtle amount of movement

[vital fractal]

its at .005 default

[smoky venture]

even then

[vital fractal]

think in the vid it was at 3

[smoky venture]

it might mess with your stuff

[vital fractal]

my rig?

i mean

[smoky venture]

i dont want my changes stepping on the toes of your mod ig

[vital fractal]

i can just override it

in my bp

[smoky venture]

fair enough

[vital fractal]

harvester doesnt look too bad

only issue would just be any refs that arent there due to sdk ness

idk whats going on with the btr though theres like 5 different bps in the folder

[vital fractal]

making the btr fly

[smoky venture]

https://tenor.com/view/disturbed-cat-concerned-cat-wtf-cat-surprised-cat-repulsed-cat-gif-17597253449065648244

[vital fractal]

actually idk what will happen if i do the btr

theres a ref to a navmesh

and idk what will happen if its fucked up

[smoky venture]

so where are you adding the row for these parameters

@vital fractal

ALSO

since you made the light sequence if you want to send me a skybox image i will use it

this is the default skybox

[vital fractal]

no idea

dont think it uses one tbh

without the clouds theres nothing there

[smoky venture]

i see

[smoky venture]

is that asset with the parameters already added

uassetgui sucks so bad to interact with my god

[smoky venture]

erm...

regen & unknown, grail & crier, helix & heavy helix, broken shard & shard

[vital fractal]

heavy ass helix

[smoky venture]

helix the one that looks like a knotted bun

i doubled the amount of movement

its barely noticeable but super nice

it would just be nice to be able to speed up the movement and not necessarily the amount it moves

still working on steps + night eye

plus all the late game ones ig

[smoky venture]

potential evil broken shard

[vital fractal]

oooh

[smoky venture]

slider material

Black.uasset?

[vital fractal]

yes

[smoky venture]

putting out a quick patch before i leave

fixes, what i'm hoping to be, all of the texture issues related to dynamically climbable environment

[vital fractal]

you can still use oldallmaps

actually i updated it with the same sequence i sent you

did you make the ground brighter or is it just my new sequence that made it brighter?

if i can mess with the btr i have plans

plans beyond measure

also making it fly

[slim gazelle]

Attack helicopter in pobeda factory mod when

[vital fractal]

hmmmmm idk

issue with this is idk how any of this navmesh shit works

[smoky venture]

no way I'm adding a flying btr to my mod but feel free to upload that for yourself

I just want a death state

[vital fractal]

yeah i can do that

how to do that though

[smoky venture]

evil shard

wish light refracted off it a bit more but oh well

[tough magnet]

flying btr before itr2??

so lit

[smoky venture]

genuinely fuck the btr

[vital fractal]

always hated how shit the harvester lods are

maybe i can change that

[smoky venture]

i was going to ask earlier if its possible to change the material of the body

its like a destroyed heli right?

[vital fractal]

prob

[smoky venture]

hm

[vital fractal]

idk

forgot how to import skeletons

[smoky venture]

always thought it was

[vital fractal]

could maybe replace the SK

[smoky venture]

m_body is the one

slime is the goop and tentacle

its like a btr or heli tho

[vital fractal]

when i did my armors the player sk was fully done so i could just export it

psk importer doesnt like skeletons

[smoky venture]

yea

[vital fractal]

if this works we could really do anything with the harvester

if all you want it a proper death then idk how i should do it

no idea what my limits are or really what to even do

maybe i can overhaul its behavior and make it a sep mod

[smoky venture]

ye i mean

the little spawns mod for it is solid enough imo, idk what other ideas you'd have for it

seekers and sliders need the most love when it comes to animations, they're so bad

i know a couple people that can rig and animate but that wouldn't be for a month or more

seekers need a delay/tell for their laser attack and also some nav mesh adjustments so they don't stand 1 foot in front of you when they need to attack

sliders idk what i would do with them but their attacks are very silly looking

[vital fractal]

idk what all i can with behavior

mimics are untouchable

removing the lod on these

or making it better

[smoky venture]

idk why but i cannot get this shard to have the slider mat only the broken one

also taking ideas for alternative materials but the slider mat is the one the rift uses, and the mimic/seeker materials look kind of mid

[vital fractal]

override in bp

[smoky venture]

yeah i tried and the model became invisible lmao

[vital fractal]

tf

[smoky venture]

im braindead ig

[vital fractal]

regular shard?

[smoky venture]

ye

[vital fractal]

weird

if that doesnt work check my ex61 entity mod i think the mat was different

[smoky venture]

fair enough

so the color changes on these artifact material dupes

how do i go about adding the parameter to adjust

[vital fractal]

open the mat

in uagui

go here

copypaste one of the rows

save and reopen

[smoky venture]

i didnt even know that was an option

[vital fractal]

go back and open the new parameter and change the name/value

save when youre done

check the namemap to make sure the parameter has it

should

[smoky venture]

did you remember the param for the color shift

HueMin HueMAx?

or was that for the bloom

er that was TempMin TempMAx for the bloom eh

[vital fractal]

ima just hope that the shit chuck did kept the paramaters ok

bc idk how to work with a spline and uagui doesnt give me all that data

[vital fractal]

hueshiftpercentage

[smoky venture]

probably work a tag if you want to bother him

worth

[vital fractal]

nah its not something hed know

i mean

it did

somewhat

it just couldnt actually recreate the code

but it usually does all the defaults and parameters in them

dont think this actually has an anim

[smoky venture]

no it just floats

also your bp override did not seem to work

[vital fractal]

tf

what did it do

[smoky venture]

nothing

can i do

/Game/WeaponMaster/Materials/Black/

[vital fractal]

yeah do that

[smoky venture]

i shall attempt

erm

[vital fractal]

what

[smoky venture]

still uses default mi_artifact_core material

idk why

[vital fractal]

fuck that

[smoky venture]

wait

[vital fractal]

hold on let me check something

[smoky venture]

namemap in the mesh

had an extra material slot

[vital fractal]

nvm it aint set in code

yeah check that

[smoky venture]

hm

and removing that extra slot makes the mesh invisible

you can look

oddly enough the mesh for the broken shard has the extra material slot but its working properly

[vital fractal]

weird

i could prob override the health here

for my extra shenanigans

[smoky venture]

i cannot get this working

f

its crazy because I could have sworn I changed the materials to the mimic one, before

[vital fractal]

wack

ill finish harvey tomorrow

or firday

wanna play something

wonder if i could throw more effects on it

i plan to atleast give it proper hit effects and something on death

[smoky venture]

feel free to use any of mine ig

sounds that is

[smoky venture]

yeah im

just confused really

wait

[smoky venture]

whats the material for the fragment sphere

its like the reverse of an artifacts coloring

[vital fractal]

/Game/ITR_art/Mats/blackSpehere

[smoky venture]

spehere

[vital fractal]

yes

[smoky venture]

yeah

ill test that

[smoky venture]

lmao genuinely i need help

cant override it for whatever god forsaken reason

it looks good though

its gotta be a different bp, right

[vital fractal]

no

[smoky venture]

Reclamation Mod patch 1 canceled

some artifacts have different hand poses on different hands

in vanilla

Just now noticed this

[vital fractal]

looks fine

if it dont work just

skip

regular one is fine with the regular mat

[smoky venture]

https://tenor.com/view/meevin-melvin-hes-coming-321-run-gif-26186363

it doesn't make any sense why one works and the other doesn't

[vital fractal]

bruh idk

[smoky venture]

...

[smoky venture]

can anyone with the mod take note of the volumes of electrical anomalies and then vote on this poll im about to post

[waxen lark]

zefir [crondon]

electrical anomaly volume

1⃣ the volume is fine
2⃣ its actually pretty loud
3⃣ its quiet
4⃣ its TOO quiet

[smoky venture]

just need a show of hands

[vital fractal]

stupid thing

but theres this one instrumental to a song which i think would fit an itr mod preview perfectly

[smoky venture]

stupid thing? what

[vital fractal]

no me

my idea

is stupid

yk what ill just shush

[vital fractal]

ok harvey works

think i could edit it a little

hold on

[tough magnet]

dont think the food is included in your big reclamation file

at least the drinks r the original

[smoky venture]

yeah its an optional file in the rations mod

i suppose i forgot to say that in the description of rmp

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradiusvr/mods/500?tab=files

[tough magnet]

mb

[smoky venture]

it includes everything but the moonshine

[tough magnet]

ahh

[smoky venture]

i dont remember why i made it optional

i think because i have custom sounds made for the model of it

[tough magnet]

someone js made a drink mod

that too

[smoky venture]

yeah if you wanted to use actual artifacts reskin then you could just download that without having sounds that dont match

that is why it exists

not sure if all my new content justifies making an update trailer

[tough magnet]

depends on how much there is

[smoky venture]

meh

i can either release it now and let people enjoy the surprises (lol)
or
wait the next couple days to make a video or something

i've got quite the migraine so i don't think i'll be recording anything tonight

[tough magnet]

do what u think would be best

i think a suprise drop would be lit tho

[smoky venture]

unfortunately with a mod of this scale i can't please everyone. there will always be 2 people that like/dislike 1 thing

[tough magnet]

it is quite unfortunate

so instead u should do what u like

[smoky venture]

incredibly based

there is 1 thing im torn on

i rly like the new distortion i posted, but i also enjoy the original one in the mod

[tough magnet]

offer both versions

[smoky venture]

i meeeeeeeeeeeean

[tough magnet]

that shit looks lit

[smoky venture]

yea

[tough magnet]

js put urs in

[smoky venture]

but i can see why someone wouldnt want it

harder to see

though i love it bc of that

they're so easy to avoid lmao

[tough magnet]

i think most ppl would like it

[smoky venture]

fuck the haters!!!

[tough magnet]

thas what im talm bout

[smoky venture]

i need to design a new sound for the grail sound effect

the original one

@tough magnet i'll add my moonshine drink model in the next update

not releasing it tonight tho im tired af

[tough magnet]

aii

get sum good rest

[muted cloak]

Question. Is the Old kolkoz now included in the reclamation mod with Version e or is it still separate from r3mains?

[vital fractal]

@smoky venture kaboom

[vital fractal]

it includes old kolkhoz v2

you can also use the older version of it if you want

[vital fractal]

I’ve been theorizing for the past like 3 hours what to do with the harvester

it will explode like the rifts

im think when it dies ill make it oscillate and scream for a few seconds, then explode with a lot of the rift effects

like the spawn effects

for my own balance changes later I want to see if I can make it spawn it shit

but in like a really ominous way

in a 1.0 esque way

[slim stag]

That sounds awesome. Looking forward to seeing it.

[smoky venture]

nice

[smoky venture]

@robust grail

next time you're on your pc could you package these with your energy drink reskin mod, increasing compatibility with my mod (my custom sounds for my drink don't match yours) and it would allow others to just install yours over mine if they wanted 🙂

it goes in /Sounds/WaveCue/SFX/Things

[smoky venture]

you were the one who left the comment on my mod page about the electrical anomaly sound right?

[robust grail]

I’ll take a look, but it won’t be for another week

I’m away travelling

Why are they incompatible? I just changed a texture file

[smoky venture]

its not that they're incompatible, it's that sound replacement I made to match the drink model replacement don't match an energy drink, someone mentioned downloading your drink on top of my mod and brought that up

the audio i use in my mod is closer to a pressurized seal being popped open, for reference

@tough magnet I'll be merging the drink replacement into my next reclamation mod patch, but in the mean time feel free to download the update for 'The Drink' on the rations mod page. It has significantly better collisions now

[smoky venture]

crier artefact sounds will be fixed for anyone having issues with those, in the next update

[slim stag]

Yes

[smoky venture]

since the comment chain became kind out of control, would you say the ambient sound of the anomaly is too quiet? and not the zaps from when the player is hurt by it?

I gave the sounds about a 25% volume increase, across the board

old and new grail sound

Grail

[slim stag]

Yeah the ambient zap is the important one to warn you that your in danger. I was having trouble hearing it over other anomalies.

[smoky venture]

completely unrelated to my question towards you zander my b

okay got you

[smoky venture]

okay, well i've increased the volume quite a bit for the next update

[solemn talon]

Zander - the ultimate mod tester? 😏

[smoky venture]

anyone who plays with my mod and reports feedback/issues is the ultimate mod tester to me

[smoky venture]

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradiusvr/mods/529?tab=files

^

[tough magnet]

ill be sure to install "the drink"

[smoky venture]

dont need to now

but its there

[tough magnet]

igu

[smoky venture]

just make sure to be on the latest patch and you'll have it

[vital fractal]

seriously cant figure out how to make it have an actual hit effect

the character spawning is a separate bp i could overwrite if we want crazier spawning effects

[smoky venture]

@slim stag pls let me know about electric anom and crier artifact when you get the chance

[slim stag]

I'll put a few hours in tonight 👍

[vital fractal]

do we still think kolkhoz is too dark?

could increase the indirectlighting on the sequence

got the hit effect just cant figure out why it isnt dying right

[smoky venture]

ask @solemn talon

I think its fine personally - but maybe like a 10% increase wouldn't hurt

[vital fractal]

just during the day or overall

[smoky venture]

oh hm

could do like 20% brighter during day and 10% for night if that isn't unreasonable to ask

shrug

[solemn talon]

I wouldnt mind if it was as bright as any other map 👀

[vital fractal]

i mean

its dark because it doesnt have proper sunlight

i could increase indirectlighting a little but it wont leave it like other maps

[solemn talon]

NASA is underfunded what can we expect

Wont that mess up other things?"

[vital fractal]

probably not

[smoky venture]

disregard my tomfoolery

testing #shortly

[slim stag]

The electric anomalies are a little better now. They don't get drowned out by distortions anymore, though they are still a little harder to pick up on compared to vanilla.

The new artifacts are pretty sweet looking. The regen seems to oscillate in time with your footsteps.

It also rolls around when you place it on a flat surface, so you may want to simplify its hitbox haha.

I don't have any cheat mods installed so I can't tell you if the crier sounds are fixed until I get a banshee hunt mission.

[smoky venture]

yeah, i'll be fixing it in the morning

i might mess around with the distortion and reflector volumes to compensate for the electric anomalies

i might redo the models on the triangle and star as well

maybe i do it now

thinking about adding a small amount of blue to the grail

spice it up a bit

[slim stag]

I didn't realize how much the foveation settings mess up artifacts in particular until today.

Your heavy helix and regen models hide the issue quite well

(in the small chance you weren't aware of this, I tested and it, and it is an issue in vanilla too)

[vital fractal]

just the material

not a single thing can be done here

[smoky venture]

didnt even know this was a thing

[vital fractal]

harvester is being resistant as fuck to not just flopping over when dying

but i did get hit effects working

its on the sk itself

MAYBE BECAUSE MY FUCKING EXTRA RIPPED PAK FROM STALKER OVERWRITES THE GODDAMN BP

ITS BEEN LIKE 5 HOURS

i have done

so much bs

just becuase

i didnt check to see

[smoky venture]

rip

unrelated

someone on reddit mentioned making the uh

sprint artifact

[vital fractal]

ooooh

[smoky venture]

tried my best

[vital fractal]

for what artifact

[smoky venture]

triangle

[vital fractal]

sprinty artifact could be real

only issue is just

replacing the curves

[smoky venture]

this is it atm

basically originally

i couldn't figure out how to deform a spring shape i made into an hourglass

this time i just said fuck it and made rings instead of a spring and then deformed it

[vital fractal]

hmmmm

i think operation harvester explode can now be conducted

[smoky venture]

nice

[vital fractal]

also changing my nvgs

cleaning up the jumbled ass code on them and making them work with scopes

and making them brighter

or not brighter

but light better

for some reason i couldnt figure out how to set a material of a skeletalmesh so i just duped the artifact mat to have less bloom

harvester reclamation project

[smoky venture]

true

shaped a little better

might switch the custom model i made for star for another stalker 2 artifact

though ngl i was a fan of what i made

[vital fractal]

damn i fucked up the harvester it aint moving right

[smoky venture]

rip

whats a cool stalker 2 artifact

[vital fractal]

okay harvey is working good

one of the functions didnt have a name in the analyzer but it was one or the other

[smoky venture]

does harvester only spawn in stalker mod?

[vital fractal]

and weightedspawns

spawns way more in weightedspawns hard

but i actually got on in pervomay in my last stream

right in front of my base

was stuck though so it wasnt really an issue

[smoky venture]

do they only sp awn in hard?

[vital fractal]

the hard version of weightedspawns

think theyre in the regular

but in the hard version they spawn in a lot

[smoky venture]

stars design i had come up with btw

wanted to make an 'artifact' cut diamond kind of design

ima mess with the modifier more

[smoky venture]

hm

hm

[smoky venture]

the colors are perfect

[vital fractal]

do we think splitting the harvester into 225 pieces will affect performance

i also fucked up my nvgs

i could make the harvester drop shit

what do we think about

hmmmm

im thinking of attacks i could try to make this do

[smoky venture]

yes

having it disappear with the rift particles but scaled up probably wouldn't be terrible though

[smoky venture]

i did make a lua mod for enemies to spawn shards when killed, but i couldn't get it to attach to mimic bps

and it wasnt exactly performance friendly because i barely know lua

[vital fractal]

weird

theres better ways for enemies to spawn shit

wonder if i could make an algorithm

[smoky venture]

thats basically what lua is

anyways the performance hit was checking for actors and death states

[vital fractal]

trying to make it fucking oscillate and its resisting

work

bitch

[smoky venture]

the obligation

[smoky venture]

#grinding

would be cool for every artifact to have their own model now we're here

put in a full work day with these jesus

[random glen]

yo could anyone help me with the installation of the mod?

[tough magnet]

js put the main and secondary file in paks

[random glen]

did that

didnt work

uninstalled the game plus deleted all my previous mods

and didnt work for me

reinstalled the game

only put the reclamation mod files and the game looked the same

[smoky venture]

are you manually installing or using vortex?

[random glen]

manually

[smoky venture]

if you're manually installing can you post a photo of your paks folder

[random glen]

is it easier with vortex?

[smoky venture]

no

i mean

subjective really

but disregard it for this

[random glen]

sure

[random glen]

when i get home gimme some time

[smoky venture]

https://tenor.com/view/amazing-world-of-gumball-computer-memes-fails-kittens-realistic-face-gif-24794428

our best and brightest minds working together

we'll get this figured out my brother

star, night-eye, neon, triangle, crier, grail

[smoky venture]

you're the guy from reddit that had installation problems tho right

[random glen]

yes I am the guy

[ionic shard]

You need to extract the files first and then put them in the folder. It looks like you just moved the downloaded zipped files in there

[random glen]

alright that did it tysm for help

btw maybi ask some questions about the mod?

[smoky venture]

probably won't answer immediately but go for it

[random glen]

So i seen the trailer on yt and there were these all custom weapons/reskins of existing ones.Is this a separate mod or will they be added later in the mod?

[smoky venture]

Chucks Custom Items and R3mains Custom Items mod and all their pre-requisites

make sure to also extract them from the archives! the .paks go on the Paks folder as Moxxie mentioned.

[random glen]

ty

oh and the artifact reskins?

[smoky venture]

they're in the mod but I'm working on new ones atm. the ones in the chat.

those aren't in yet

[random glen]

keep it up

they looking sick

[smoky venture]

ty update out layer today

[delicate goblet]

Oh wait are you the one making the reclamation mod? The stalker one? Or is this a different one!

If it's the former then I'm loving it

I like the visual changes alot

[smoky venture]

ye

[delicate goblet]

Those new artifacts look baller

Are they gonna get added to the mod?

[smoky venture]

thank you, glad to hear you enjoy it

they're replacements. no new ones atm

[delicate goblet]

Well the replacements look nice

Is what I mean

[smoky venture]

No worries. They're based on Stalker 2 artifacts

[delicate goblet]

Tubular!

[smoky venture]

I had designed a couple original ones, which were cool, but didn't really fit.

[delicate goblet]

Im guessing they'll be added next update of the mod

[smoky venture]

Yah. Later today probably

[delicate goblet]

Question if I update your mod will that make it so I have to make a new save or nah?

[smoky venture]

No

[delicate goblet]

Sweet

[smoky venture]

But if your artifacts are all jumbled you might have to rearrange them

[delicate goblet]

Well I've been playing with the scav mod with my brother and a couple other mods so we have our artifacts organized

[smoky venture]

The artifacts will have new collision surfaces on them, take note of that for the future. There will be a little "invisible pocket of air" surrounding the item that let's it float when you set it down

[delicate goblet]

What else is coming in the update today? Or is it just the artifacts!

[smoky venture]

Just minor changes

[delicate goblet]

Your mod works really good with the scav mod and remains custom items it's rad

[smoky venture]

the mod is mostly feature complete

[delicate goblet]

Only thing is it's hard to see enemies sometimes but that's just itr lol

It's fun

[smoky venture]

are you on the update that adds new mimic materials

it helps with visibility

The second module "patch" files are super small downloads, make sure you're always up-to-date

That's where all the new stuff goes, so you aren't forced to re-download the Main file repeatedly, anyways.

[delicate goblet]

No clue I downloaded it basically when it came out

So I should redownload the second file?

I downloaded it with vortex! So do I like delete the second file and redownload it

[smoky venture]

Yeah make sure you have the new updates when they release

Yeah

No need to touch to main file. It won't be updated, so just hold onto it

[delicate goblet]

Good to know I'll do that next time me and my brother play

Me and him have been swapping every raid we have our own kits and whatnot it's quite radical

[smoky venture]

very cool. i would recommend the "more missions to increase security level" mod to go with that

[delicate goblet]

He's been using the slinger from the scavenger mod as his pistol while currently in using the pl-15 but I found a 1911 so I might use that

[smoky venture]

and "Nomad"

[delicate goblet]

Well the shops disabled so security level doesnt really matter

Nomad though might be coop

*cool

[smoky venture]

it's not about security level it's just about quests

Unless you aren't doing any progression?

[delicate goblet]

I mean we are

But we're already security level 4

[plucky cloud]

Sheesh cro been cooking in the back

[smoky venture]

everything together

[slim gazelle]

edible artifacts mod when🤤

[smoky venture]

what do you think tastes the best

the stone flower artifact looks like it would taste like a cookie

[plucky cloud]

Gimme the crystal

Ill eat it

[smoky venture]

https://tenor.com/view/sugar-treats-sweets-toffee-geodes-gif-22620919

[slim gazelle]

these two🤤

[smoky venture]

hell yeah

patch incoming soon btw

with the artifacts

[slim gazelle]

im considering actually making smaller edible versions of these

[smoky venture]

what does this even mean

[slim gazelle]

because the food blueprint doesnt have any code so i assume it would just work

[smoky venture]

oh

you're being literal

you want to be able to eat the artifacts

[slim gazelle]

they would all come in like a pack and would heal 5 hp each to make them useful

[smoky venture]

sour skittles

[slim gazelle]

because the food items have a thing where i can change what they refill that being hunger health and fatigue (i assume)

[delicate goblet]

Ngl looking at the artifacts they do look cooler but dang they look a lot bigger!

[smoky venture]

yes

at some point i will probably edit the hand poses and make them scaled to STALKER sizes

[delicate goblet]

Yea! It would be cool to have an option to not have the new models tbh since this is my brother's first playthrough and I don't know how he'll feel about completely changing the artifacts and them being bigger, but alas it is what it is

They do look cool

Which one is regen? Since that's really the only good one ngl

[smoky venture]

Dang, sorry to hear that. I have no intention of separating my mod into individual mods (the ones that are released were prior to rmp being finished)

Regen is the spiky one on the very far left

the urchin

I would not consider my mod "first playthrough vanilla-friendly"

[delicate goblet]

Well he's liking the game and in general the maps do just look better with the mod

I legit just downloaded it since it made everything look a lot more real

I liked the color

[smoky venture]

The mod page will show all of the artifact change differences

if that helps

[delicate goblet]

It'll probably be fine!

[solemn talon]

THE FOOD CAN HEAL and there is no mod for that?

[slim gazelle]

maybe

havent tested it

was thinking of making the meat food items heal and the rest would remain like normal

because i dont think you can make it do two things

[solemn talon]

Omg do it

Finally meat is not just a trash item for sale

[slim gazelle]

possibly even make the energy drink be drinkable multiple times and not despawning upon being fully used up

[smoky venture]

get to it mr man destroyer

[slim gazelle]

now im not so sure because the vanilla food blueprints are empty

[slim gazelle]

these food blueprints are powered by witchcraft ts pmo😭

@vital fractal can things from a blueprint be hidden or not viewable with uassetgui?

ohh maybe it isnt there because it isnt changed

like it was with the mimic weapon

[smoky venture]

I mentioned this b4 but this update probably the last update for the next month

[vital fractal]

yes

removing the random collider on the harvey

actually just making it not collide w the player

[smoky venture]

solid

[slim gazelle]

also do you have any new ideas on what could cause it so i cant add new lines in uassetgui because editing it through the json is difficult

[vital fractal]

you can add new lines

[slim gazelle]

it auto deletes whenever i try to save

[vital fractal]

do you change the parameters in them

before you save

[slim gazelle]

i dont know, this is what im trying to enter into a new line and then what ive entered in a new line

[vital fractal]

where are you getting this row from

[slim gazelle]

the food piece blueprint from the sdk

where i changed the foodtype from food to healing so its showing up

[vital fractal]

so youre manually adding a row?

i dont see what youre trying to do

idk if you have to copy them

might be missing namemaps

[smoky venture]

was trying to add the color temp parameters to blackspehere earlier to no avail

similar situation ig

[slim gazelle]

same thing is with how much hunger the food restores

i cant change it if the parameter is the default value

for example on the pineapple it shows up

so im trying to add that row to be able to change it

im pretty sure i did it somehow with the mimic stuff

via json editing but it isnt working right now

[vital fractal]

well i cant find that row in any of the parents

[slim gazelle]

it worked on the pineapple through jsons

[tough magnet]

js shows how cool pineapples are

[smoky venture]

hell yeah

[slim gazelle]

jackpot🤑

both the healing and the multiple uses work

[tough magnet]

rsh and papple

[delicate goblet]

Bros making peak mod just for the funsies

This is tubular

[tough magnet]

totally tubular dudeee

[muted cloak]

@smoky venture is there any ways to change the more visible seekers and mimics to blue? I have the Visible enemies turned to blue and your latest release 1.1a has been installed after.

[vital fractal]

rename the visible enemies to start with zz

so it loads after

[muted cloak]

Like so? ZZ_Visible_enemies_blue_P.pak

Thanks @vital fractal

[smoky venture]

yep

you can do that with any mod, that you want to load after reclamation project

Any letter combination thats past "ZF" will work, i.e. ZH_, etc

[slim gazelle]

just so you know handposes are stored in a datatable which means that its all just numbers and the only way to see how it looks is to go see in game

[smoky venture]

yeah, I was messing with handposes in the past

the plan was to use the TP hand pose for artifacts aha

[tough magnet]

js lettin uk u got 2 links to the same mod at the bottom of ur mod page for rrp

the harvester ones

[smoky venture]

ye fixed

[smoky venture]

i'll add your mod to my desc

is it genuinely not possible for food to heal & restore hunger? just one?

just so u know tho ur mod isnt packaged properly for vortex or anything

its in "new folder (5)"

[slim gazelle]

pretty sure because there is only one parameter that says how much it restores

[smoky venture]

what an odd limitation

this is awesome tho because i have so much canned food and always waste my money on syringes

solid mod idea brother

[slim gazelle]

even if i potentially made it restore both health and hunger it would be either to op or not give enough hunger to even be worth adding hunger restoration to

[smoky venture]

I mean in that situation I would just edit the params for my personal liking which is why I asked

How's everyone feeling about the new artifacts?

[slim gazelle]

they look too good🤤

[smoky venture]

should i make the artifacts oscillate more

wouldn't be much but im not sure if its currently enough for most people to even notice

[muted cloak]

The artifacts look awesome in game!

[smoky venture]

@worthy inlet @hasty zealot would either of you two have some free time to test a lua mod im working on this week? honestly just need to see if it significantly affects performance, plus a couple other things

[worthy inlet]

I could do that! what's it do?

[smoky venture]

baseline, I'm trying to get entities to drop shard artifacts. I've gotten this to work for BPA_Char actors, like fragments and phantoms, but not mimics yet.

I'd like to extend the functionality more, or honestly, figure out how to translate it to a logic mod so it can be used with stuchoos MCM and allows for customization for people

the performance part is mostly just to see how intensive it is when its dropping artifacts, in say, the middle of a fire fight where you might be killing 5-6 entities in a short time span

[worthy inlet]

I don't think it would be too intensive as KR ITR2 and (I think KR ITR1) both work fine. I'm happy to stress test it for confirmation.

[smoky venture]

the kill rewards mod for itr1 does not function. i had spoken to the author of the itr2 kill rewards mod and he said the itr1 modder who based it off his code never actually got it working but uploaded it anyways

shrug

I just went ahead and did it myself

[worthy inlet]

I feel like something like this could be built off of Range Markers as a base.

Range markers uses "Bind Event to On Take Any Damage" nodes to spawn in the range measurement text. I wonder if there would be a node for actor despawn. If so, it might be super simple to do.

like this 👀

[smoky venture]

omg

https://tenor.com/view/shy-embarrassed-patrick-star-oh-stop-hihihi-gif-16083044

what a purdy node

I actually just had a thought that could help with performance if necessary

[hasty zealot]

Yeah its probably the same logic as humans kill markers in BP. Wouldnt recommend taking the lua approach. Nomad was meant to be lua initially but logic mods are far more capable and stable

Hit reload was nice but a ton of things dont work in lua

[smoky venture]

Yeah, I think translating it would be a good approach for getting my foot in the door with logic mods. I'll probably ask more questions in the future

Maybe I'll release the lua version and then start on the logic version as a successor

[tough magnet]

i mean the loot enemies guy did that without unity

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradiusvr/mods/461

context maker got all of em to work without the logic shi

should ask them

[smoky venture]

I made a working loot mod that does the same thing his does 3 years ago, it's not what I want at all

[tough magnet]

oh

[smoky venture]

I want it to have customization, and eventually MCM support

without having to edit tables and package every time you want to change something

[tough magnet]

thatd be lit

[vital fractal]

i had an idea to make some sort of small loot algorithim for when/if i can get the harvester to be bossfighty based off of common mod deps

[smoky venture]

i've got drops working for harvester

just cant get mimics to work

[muted cloak]

I def like the new look of the Regens. The rest is pretty epic too.

[vital fractal]

this node is prob better for spawning in items instead of having them float

[vital fractal]

when does it spawn?

like

on destroyed?

[smoky venture]

when does what spawn?

if you mean the loot, they don't drop.

[vital fractal]

the items youre trying to get to spawn on the mimics

i thought its a logicmod?

[smoky venture]

its lua

i said this in the chat earlier

but anyways i've currently set it up to take the location of the ragdoll and not the actor and then spawn the item above it, with a delay

still nothing tho

[vital fractal]

when does it spawn it though

like on what event

bpa char seems to be fucky

i had to call a private function to get harvey to work

[smoky venture]

are you coding it in lua?

I'm using BPA_Char:OnDeath and BP_CharMimic:OnDeath

it registers and hooks on bpa_char but not any of the mimic blueprints, which is why i mentioned trying to track the location of the ragdoll when it spawns and using that instead

[vital fractal]

nah i dont really know it

hold on

maybe try enable ragdoll

lots of these are private for some reason it may have something to do with it

could also try onhealthend

[smoky venture]

i might need to wrinkle my brain a bit more

[smoky venture]

may have discovered the method™

except my headset died.

[smoky venture]

thought I had the sauce

was going to trigger the loot drops based off sound triggers, specifically the mimic screams

i was so certain it would work

instead my game blew up

[delicate goblet]

[smoky venture]

debugging is devil practice

[muted cloak]

@smoky venture just a quick thought on the anomalies that you reshaped to this spikey shape. It looks great, but I think it should still have the blue hue it had before. It’s harder to tell them apart from the reflector anomalies. Just my take. 🙂

[west rover]

For some reason i can barely see them

[tough magnet]

i think they js fine rn

they still make that loud sound

and are pretty easy to avoid

[smoky venture]

Yeah, they're supposed to be less visible, they aren't exactly a threat otherwise. This was a deliberate choice.

And personally, I hate the blue.

[smoky venture]

maybe later i'll rip the original texture and upload it as a misc file

[tough magnet]

i noticed u took the nice bird sounds out from pervomay ambience

can i ask why

[smoky venture]

i havent touched any ambience

i was reconsidering re-EQing them all, but I didn't

[tough magnet]

oh

prolly a bug w my game then

[smoky venture]

if you had ambiance playing at all, then it shouldn't be

the loops are multiple minutes long, maybe they just weren't playing at that duration

anyways theme for game jam is revealed today so im goin to be anxiously working on that for the next month

[tough magnet]

whats game jam

oh that actually sounds fun

[smoky venture]

itch.io competition where people make indie games

I'll probably upload the music I write for it afterwards or smn

that never crossed my mind until now

[vital fractal]

try this

messed w outer fog

[smoky venture]

word

i'll update later

[vital fractal]

im 90% sure oldallmaps for factory is fucked

i think theres an extra skylight that isnt edited from 2.7-2.4

or no?

idk

something aint right with factory

[smoky venture]

with the new Pak?

[vital fractal]

nah just with the mod

which i think you integrated

like

theres some ambient lighting that is not dimmed down during night

[smoky venture]

Can you take a screenshot

[vital fractal]

bad example

[smoky venture]

I haven't had time to hop on vr at all today to look at the new pak or anything, anyways

I see

does it look similarly blown out without nvgs

[vital fractal]

hard to explain

[vital fractal]

not exactly but you can tell that theres ambient light

[smoky venture]

Did you happen to take a screenshot without them? And have you noticed the issue from other angles/perspectives

I'm not sure what you could really do tbh

Curious to see it though and if it can be narrowed down

[vital fractal]

yup the skylight just isnt turned down over the time of day

[smoky venture]

i love having an official itr1 sdk

[vital fractal]

lol

also theres just his

debris

tf that is

eh just remove it

[smoky venture]

?

remove the color edits?

er light sequences

[vital fractal]

i fix

[smoky venture]

Stare

[vital fractal]

not gonna test it

we dont test things these days

just upload them

nah jk

and i need to get a vid for harvey

[smoky venture]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1026200353017954478/1083204562598502501/shark_pause.gif

[vital fractal]

no its just factory is like that

kolk is nice with the fogwalls lining up with the actual fog

baked lighting on factory is just dogshit

[smoky venture]

yeah

i've been saying this since day 1 the lighting in the game is not great

but they did what they could i suppose

[waxen lark]

zefir [crondon]

should i raise crier/banshee artifact volume

1⃣ the subtle schizo whispers are nice (no)
2⃣ its not schizo enough (yes)

[smoky venture]

another poll incoming for everyone

[waxen lark]

zefir [crondon]

Do you play this mod with:

1⃣ VR headset speaker
2⃣ 3.5mm headphones (wired)
3⃣ bluetooth headphones (wireless)

[vital fractal]

ok

[smoky venture]

?

[vital fractal]

ok

[smoky venture]

https://tenor.com/view/regular-show-rigby-mordecai-death-gif-21730053

how it feels

[vital fractal]

i shouldve streamed today

wanna play with the

new mod

or i shouldve worked on harvey

i aint do shit todayyy

[smoky venture]

no big update just adding optional files that were requested since i have some free time.

[slim gazelle]

If you ever make your custom items mod you oughta add zefirs as a snack🤤

[smoky venture]

truth nuke

[waxen lark]

zefir [crondon]

do you play fighting games

1⃣ yes
2⃣ no

[tough magnet]

why

[smoky venture]

making one

[vital fractal]

wym by fighting games

like

mortal combat

[smoky venture]

thats a fighting game yea

[slim gazelle]

I can use your artifact models for the edible artifacts right?

[smoky venture]

im confused as to how you plan on implementing this

like, custom items?

[slim gazelle]

yes

like sunflower seeds but artifact shaped and they heal

and glow🤤

[smoky venture]

i mean ig

[smoky venture]

i did have a few things to say regarding this, not necessarily questions or anything like that

but that, it would be better for me to send you the models instead of just ripping them off umodel, and that if you plan on scaling them down to the size of sunflower seeds or relative scale then you will likely also need to reduce the quality of the models to accommodate for the quantity of them that will likely be spawned

[slim gazelle]

theyre that high quality?

[smoky venture]

well yeah i modeled/sculpted them with a 6k-8k vert budget

[slim gazelle]

is that a lot?

[smoky venture]

anywhere between 4-8x the amount of detail from the vanilla artifacts

idk how much of a rush you're in but if you can wait until after April is over I don't mind remodeling scaled down versions of the ones you want to use

to be optimized that is

Can't make promises before then, all my free time is going towards this game I'm working on

[slim gazelle]

im in no rush

[smoky venture]

fair enough

[smoky venture]

what kind of fg do you play

[slim gazelle]

fighting game?

[smoky venture]

ye

hopefully you didnt assume i was saying a slur

[slim gazelle]

the strongest battlegrounds from roblox👶

[smoky venture]

the what now

[smoky venture]

@slim gazelle is this screenshot tough or what

[slim gazelle]

Why ask me specifically?

[smoky venture]

felt like it

[vital fractal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1264331810368917580/1426743145420554300/IMG_8289.gif

[smoky venture]

"man destroyer 36" has subverted his question to you

the color changes and sound decrease for the rift are nice

[vital fractal]

nice

[slim gazelle]

make the banshee artifact have a chance to play random enemy sounds

[smoky venture]

that wouldn't really work if people use sound mods

[slim gazelle]

dont any sound changes not work if people use sound mods?

[smoky venture]

well yes but my point is that if someone has monolith voices and i base the artifact enemy sounds off vanilla then it would be drastically different

tbh though im a big fan of the schizo whispers, the screams from the banshee were awful game design

[slim gazelle]

cant you just make it use the mimic sound file so it would auto adjust?

[smoky venture]

no because it's built from a cue

well actually yeah maybe

Just recreate the cue with enemy sounds ig

[vital fractal]

did u include the kolk changes I made

actually I don’t think you updated since I sent that over

[smoky venture]

i have not

i have a couple sound adjustments i want to make that i havent gotten around to before i update

[smoky venture]

slightly scaled down 9x19mm

should fit inside every magazine properly now

i genuinely think this is an issue with some of the weapon scalings themselves and not the ammunition

[vital fractal]

yeah

[smoky venture]

trying very hard to align this 9x19mm perfectly for every mag

idk why im feeling compelled to do it but hooray

mp5 and grach mags are perfect now

[smoky venture]

after april might go back and re-EQ all the ambience and monster sounds

could spend a lot more time clearing up the mixes for them

[clever owl]

Hey how about you take some inspiration from stalker oblivion lost remake 2.5 it looks kind of unique and interesting

[smoky venture]

you'll have to be way more specific than that

i would say i drew most of my inspiration from clear sky and call of pripyat, to be honest

[clever owl]

I mean I guess landscape, artstyle of the levels, the grass, the sky, maybe some of the anomalies, and other stuff, sorry for not being extremely specific but just try the game, how it looks gives it a unique look

basically I like how it looks so it would be kinda cool if you took some inspirations from it

I can’t show you right now, tough I think I can show you with pictures later today or tomorrow

sorry

[smoky venture]

when i get around to making my custom items should i rename all the artifacts based off stalker versions

so regen would be urchin for example

[slim gazelle]

Pretty sure that would make alot of mods incompatible unless you remade every artifact in the sdk

[smoky venture]

permaybehaps

[charred owl]

@smoky venture On the mod trailer, in the description you linked the generic a "myaccount" page instead of your account
https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradiusvr/users/myaccount?tab=mods

[smoky venture]

thats because its everyones mod

[charred owl]

holy aura

[smoky venture]

(i'll fix it)

[vital fractal]

no should be fine

just overwrite the rows in the user# dt

[slim gazelle]

I was thinking the same thing but doesn't this mod load at the top?

So anything that changes item prices or stats would override it

[vital fractal]

no

cuz its not custom data

that would only be the case if there was another user dt that had the same row

[smoky venture]

maybe i do that when i make custom items or new artifacts or whatever

[charred owl]

itr2 needs to look more like this mod in my opinion, its always felt to bright and not dead enough

[smoky venture]

since the blacksphere material is bright as fuck on mimics

what if it was just their eyes that glowed

i fear that it may be too little amount

[worthy inlet]

Reminds my of Frenzyc's ITR 1 Style Enemies mod for ITR2!

those glowing eyes scared the life out of me more times than Id like to admit.

[smoky venture]

Oh sick, do you like that design at all? I might try to roll with that in that case

I was originally going to spend the next month or two UV mapping the explorers materials onto them so they look human

but it would be a lot of work and would stop me from working on other stuff

[worthy inlet]

I love it! I haven't used ITR1 style enemies in a while, but when I did, those were easily some of the best jump scares I've experienced in this game.

[smoky venture]

https://tenor.com/view/xmen-97-cyclops-blast-x-men-97-xmen97-gif-13171159529621418943

If the eyes/visors arent enough to make them stand out in the darkness of my mod, i could also add it to little bits of trim on the armor

I was thinking originally "do the helmets" but that would probably make it too easy

[worthy inlet]

you might also be able to add an emissive map.

[smoky venture]

the blackspehere has one already i think

its very bright

wont know how it'll look until i test though, i'll report back

[smoky venture]

Im thinking just the eyes might not be very visible

[slim gazelle]

😍

[slim gazelle]

if youre making the eyes glow or making them look human you might need to remake the hunter and police mimic models somehow because they are very low poly by default and dont have eyes

[smoky venture]

I already did

shotgun mimics eyes kinda look like stars and police mimics have angry eyes

kinda like that

Probably won't do just the eyes tho

[smoky venture]

designing the sound effects for this game has led me to a huge stockpile of useful audio recordings that I might also use for an update to this mod

[slim gazelle]

but eyes only looks so cool🥺

[smoky venture]

you would never actually see it
