much appreciated

yea i would never have got them working without yoshi's help, he also got them to stop being jittery in MP

[versed coyote]

Yuppii

[peak bridge]

mortars are getting a bit of a rework

so that they are a little easier to use

[versed coyote]

I dont like it tbh

[peak bridge]

how so

[versed coyote]

current system is somewhat logical

[peak bridge]

later on the current ranging and adjusting system will be entirely scrapped for a new solution, this is just a stop gap

[versed coyote]

Whats wrong with the current version?

[peak bridge]

its difficult for new players to use, since they think they have to hit pixel perfect on the text to use it

the sandbags are a better representation of how big the boxes are

its also a lot of text in a small space, which can overwhelm some folks

[versed coyote]

Imaginary problem

[versed coyote]

litterally imaginary problems

[peak bridge]

ok

[summer rampart]

This might make using mortars on uneaven terrain diffcult, cuse the sandbags might sphase thorw the ground

[peak bridge]

i could just make them align to the terrain, not terribly difficult to do

[summer rampart]

👍

I say go for it this new system

[torn falcon]

About mortars, i found a spawn protection bug

[peak bridge]

well? spill the beans

[torn falcon]

Here, i was shooting at that attck mark

[peak bridge]

very odd, ill look into it

[torn falcon]

here sometimes shoots, sometimes duds

[versed coyote]

Oh dont worry

It is already reported

[peak bridge]

now i just need to make it so it can go up and then it will be good

[torn falcon]

Yeah i now tried it and just after the guys captured that apartment complex, so there is spawn protection bug on that point

[peak bridge]

yea i think i fixed it now, not gonna push it just yet tho since people are still playing

[torn falcon]

yeah it still was bugged, so?

[summer rampart]

Dam that was fast

[versed coyote]

Hey, @peak bridge I think it is time to add a limit on how many c4's one person can place in general. Beacuse now it is infinite, and it starts to affect the gameplay.
For more details ask Yoshie, he will tell you, but in general:

Hop on playtest
Drive to the enemy spawn
Wire all the APCs with c4
Admin tells to stop doing guerilla warfare
Continues doing guerilla warfare
Gets temporary banned
"Literally 1984"

I mean fair enough but anyway

[finite viper]

TLDR
i do bad stuff
admin say no
i say yes
admin make me no do bad stuff

[versed coyote]

Cant stop me from committing war crimes

Anyway

The message is sarcastic

I know that this shit is not alright

[peak bridge]

yea, ive been putting it off too long

adjust to terrain now works properly

[versed coyote]

Also I think that the mortar will take too much space this way. Also the increased distance between controls requires more movement and is much more disorienting

It would probably be very uncomfortable, since the bags are so spread out

That you have to walk between them

[peak bridge]

The placement can be changed at any time, they are mostly just like this to test the terrain auto adjust height

[versed coyote]

Also counterintuitive since range up/down bags are located horizontaly

[versed coyote]

Instead of being located verticaly like in current version

Also, Ponchovie, how many people were asking for a mortar tweaks?

[peak bridge]

myself, goomes, and a few people in-game. Also the countless people who i've had to explain exactly how to use the mortars because my current implementation was not sufficient

[versed coyote]

Hm, alright

[peak bridge]

hows that placement

[versed coyote]

Hm, i think this is better, but I think it would be even better to place range bags closer to the base, so you can see the mortar while rotating.

[wary crater]

Why not make it similar to squad?

[peak bridge]

heres the view from a crouched player's perspective

[peak bridge]

i'll leave that kind of way to an official implementation

[versed coyote]

I know this is almost like an original

But thats just because base principal hant changed

You still hit stuff with a shovel to rotate

I kinda feel that the problem with not understanding how mortars work will go away once the mod is released since it has instructions

I, personaly, just fucked around and found out

[peak bridge]

not likely, most people now that mod auto download exists have never seen the workshop pages of the mods they play every day

[versed coyote]

I mean, let people experement a little.

If you can read, you can operate the mortar

[queen shoal]

Tried shooting the mortar during the playtest.
It looks like sometimes it would fire normally after placing, sometimes the shells drop nearby after firing
It doesn't look like it depends on the target as I'm 100% sure I wasn't firing at the spawn-protected zone, only the attack/defend points

Exactly like DAVER showed on his video

#1191977980612845588 message

[torn falcon]

Yeah and what i find out ponch that sometimes you could fire on actual spawn points(Risala) the first courtyard/yard objective from blufor after the warehouse yard is captured @peak bridge

[queen shoal]

Out of like 10 tries of placing a mortar and shooting it, 5 of them were successful on my side

[peak bridge]

yea it seems I had the logic for the spawn protection incorrect, ive fixed it but haven't published the changes yet

[queen shoal]

Also the sandbag shovel thing would be great, as the current hitmarkers are confusing, they're at the base of the mortar and slighltly misplaced

[versed coyote]

@peak bridge to sum everything:

1. controls should be located in the back of the mortar, since all the ui (range, bearing) is located there.

2. Controls should be intuitive: Left/right rotation should be on the sides, range up/down should be top/bottom.

3. As homeless said, yes tube model should not block the text blocks view

[versed coyote]

So maybe something like that?

[peak bridge]

the mortar moves independently from the bags, so placing the bags on the tube will look odd

don't remember if i mentioned that before

[versed coyote]

No, you haven't

[hollow linden]

remove the sandbags perhaps?

[peak bridge]

the sandbags are to more easily explain to the player where they can hit to adjust, the text was not very clear how large of a collider you could hit

[versed coyote]

Well, Maybe we should really just leave it how it is right now, just add sandbags, and move range up/down to the side a little bit, so the tube doesnt block it?

[peak bridge]

i kinda like this set up, you have your positive interactions on the right, and negative interactions on the left, and all the bags are behind the tube (i may also end up detaching the bearing and range from the tube and put that next to or in front of the bags)

[versed coyote]

Nah

See

Same problem

[peak bridge]

or maybe a semi circle

[versed coyote]

wait

Let me finish

[queen shoal]

Not really intuitive

[versed coyote]

You cant even what the ui on the tube says while staying near the controls

You have to go around, check it, then go back and correct it again

[queen shoal]

the text was not very clear how large of a collider you could hit
This was basically an issue, yes

[versed coyote]

Thats why the current system is almost perfect

[queen shoal]

I personally haven't had an issue checking the text distance and azimuth

[versed coyote]

I think controls should be binded to the mortar

[peak bridge]

this issue could be solved by taking the bearing and distance off of the tube and put it on a separate thing that's next to the sandbags so the operator can always read it

[queen shoal]

Another sandbag with data?

[versed coyote]

i think you are trying to fix the thing that is not broken

[peak bridge]

im beginning to agree. I'm going to try locking the bags to the mortar and then adjusting from there

[torn falcon]

Also what do you think about this: #💬general_chat message

[peak bridge]

yea goomes had brought up his concerns. Mainly those were that figuring out how big the colliders were was difficult, and that the increments system was done poorly, and that the mortar should be divided between two kits

[charred crescent]

picking up uniforms is so annoying

[peak bridge]

?

[versed coyote]

Tbh, I dont like the Idea of mortarman being split into 2 classes

Because:

It would make it very ineffective

In the actual game

Because if your teammate is killed

You are practicsly useless

Instead

I like the idea of mortarman + forward observer

[peak bridge]

what i was thinking if i were to split it is that the mortarman with the tube gets a very limited amount of ammo, maybe 1-2 shells for ranging, and then an assistant mortarman with a mortar tool and a bunch of ammo

[versed coyote]

Where the forward observer is just sniper confirming hits

[peak bridge]

im not fully convinced on the 2 kits yet

[charred crescent]

this match we had almost half the enemy team using french weapons so there charachter changed and bc name tags only appear in a short range it got very chaotic

[peak bridge]

character models don't change when you pick up an enemy's kit

[versed coyote]

well, we actually have things called ammo bags/crates

I think

That if we want to improve something

[torn falcon]

You need a Normal SL for ammo crates to be built

[versed coyote]

without causing controversy

Is to decrease ranging animation speed

So that you can actually aim fast

[peak bridge]

oh yea i forgot to post this, hows this layout? the bags move with the tube and i think solves the issues we brought up with the system before where colliders were hard to visualize

oops i meant to flip the range up/down bags

[versed coyote]

Yeah, this might be good

[torn falcon]

Yeah that will be good

[peak bridge]

yea im not sure why goomes mentioned that, its gonna happen even if you have a 3 person crew

[versed coyote]

We definitly need increased aiming speed

[charred crescent]

is friendly fire on on the offical playtest server?

[peak bridge]

shouldn't be

but that would be a yoshi question since he set up the server

[torn falcon]

What gonna happen?

[finite viper]

Looks good to me

Definitely more clear

[peak bridge]

aight then i think this is the layout im gonna go with

[versed coyote]

I love Democracy

[peak bridge]

I appreciate the patience y'all 😅

[finite viper]

Can always be tweaked later but I think this layout will the best to see what we like/don’t like about stuff being on sandbags

Holy cow, just played as the Iraqis and it was so much fun dude. The scoped AK felt like a tabuk and the Rocket Grenadier was simply chef's kiss. All of this to say the frogs have been stomping us all night lol

keep it up, both the French and Iraqis look so awesome! Haven't seen the other factions yet

[rose socket]

you should attach this to famas by default

[versed coyote]

only for auto rifleman class

[peak bridge]

taking a tolerance break from modding, so far thats been nice

[peak bridge]

May be back to modding this monday

[torn falcon]

You mean next monday

?

[peak bridge]

yea, the 11th

[peak bridge]

Tomorrow (or today technically), I resume work on the mod

i wouldn't expect anything super huge for next playtest since im still going to be splitting my time between OHD and helldivers

but there will be stuff

[nocturne glen]

https://tenor.com/view/unacceptable-adventure-time-lemongrab-freakout-armflail-gif-5515437

why aren't you no-lifeing modding?

[versed coyote]

Hahah

[peak bridge]

Limited use ammo bags like in squad are coming next patch

[rose socket]

just make droppable ammo boxes 🙏🏻

[peak bridge]

That's the plan

What I want to do is basically just copy exactly how squad ammo bags work. So you can place it down, maybe if I can get the radial menu working use that to select which items to resupply, and then pick it back up and it keeps it's ammo remaining between placement

[rose socket]

Me, when Ponchovie straps a C4 to my chest

[peak bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/myth-busters-c4-explosion-when-in-doubt-gif-14612449

Strap a 60 sec C4 to a rifleman and send him to capture a point with 10+ enemies

[peak bridge]

best strat

[versed coyote]

https://youtu.be/r-wZDXVSdN4?si=nbMs3jCC4UeBMttY

[molten sun]

@narrow bobcat figured out this tactic a while back

Strap it to a bot

Let the bot run out into the wild

Even if the bot dies, the C4 still lives

[narrow bobcat]

bonus points if you can get it on their face

click

"yeah, I'm fine, what did you expect?"

[versed coyote]

"Kaboom?"
"Yes Rico, kaboom!"

[narrow bobcat]

"mmm, C4 vapor"

[molten sun]

I can’t wait until I make it so strong explosions blow people apart

[versed coyote]

send us the next frame where he explodes

[narrow bobcat]

that's post-explosion

[versed coyote]

Oh

[narrow bobcat]

he was on my team, so no damage

[versed coyote]

Wheres the fun in that

[narrow bobcat]

I dunno, but I learned it's better to do unto others.

[versed coyote]

If only there was a way to strap a C4 to myself..

[narrow bobcat]

there IS!

throw it straight up.

[versed coyote]

It passes right trough

[narrow bobcat]

downside, no way to trigger it if you die first

huh, guess that's been fixed then

or I got very lucky and it hit my camera and not my humanoid

and somehow stuck to it

also, tossing C4 in someone's face has a chance of blinding them with the model geometry clipping through the camera position.

one of these days I'm gonna have to make something that doesn't explode to do the same thing.

[molten sun]

We need a blindfold weapon

[versed coyote]

Flashbangs

[narrow bobcat]

naw, i think i'm gonna forcibly servbot people

[molten sun]

How about something like this. A big helmet that they can’t take off nor see out of, and inside is just a strobe light to give them a seizure

[narrow bobcat]

[versed coyote]

https://youtu.be/TxCzGu-3p7U?si=p02M43UQ0BxPTuho

[versed coyote]

Imagine searching for this vid, then somebody sees "Kowalski porno" in your search history

[peak bridge]

can't get the radial menu working, so im gonna basically make it work like the ammo crates, just with a limited amount and other restrictions

[peak bridge]

construction system now has support for things needing ammo

so the limit for C4 charges has been removed, you now get 4 charges (one of each type), and you can resupply them from ammo crates and the new ammo bags

speaking of ammo bags, each rifleman gets one (unless they resupply it from an ammo crate, and NOT from another backpack), and they can place it on the ground where it lasts for 90 seconds or until it is empty. When you interact with it, you are resupplied 1 clip for every weapon (including certain build pieces like C4s), and there are 9 resupplies in the bag

the bag cannot be damaged in any way, though bullets pass straight through it (so people can't cheese it's invincibility)

still going back and forth on the amount of resupplies per bag

so input would be appreciated

[peak bridge]

saudi, iraqi, french, and american ammo bags (saudi is at 7 cuz i was using it)

[peak bridge]

gonna update the mod, so those who have subscribed to it can test this stuff out

[peak bridge]

updated, enjoy yall

[narrow bobcat]

Roger, going to check it out now.

[versed coyote]

Ok, bags work fine

What will be updated next?

[peak bridge]

Good question

[versed coyote]

Airsrikes maybe?

[peak bridge]

Yeah why not, its low hanging fruit

[versed coyote]

I have a couple of new ideas about them, but im busy rn. gonna contact you later

[peak bridge]

Just found out that the American MRLS system can launch anti-tank mine dispensing rockets

Very cool

[versed coyote]

Ok, Im free now

Sooo

I had some ideas on airstrikes

What if we added 2 new types of unguided munition

-Cluster bomb
-White phosphorus

They work the same, basicaly

Cluster bomb explodes into a group of grenades 1 second after it is dropped

And phosphorus does the same but with smoke grenades

@peak bridge

Also

What if we used colored smokes grenades fired from a grenade launcher?

To designate targets for unguided bombs?

[peak bridge]

I don't see the purpose for an extra bunch of kit items that all do functionally the same thing. The designator SOFLAM already does the designating and it places smokes. With the SOFLAM I can also change the color of the smokes, where with a grenade launcher I could not

[versed coyote]

What? You mean in sdk?

[peak bridge]

also, with the cluster and smoke munitions, I could see performance hits with lots of explosions going off at once + loads of particle effects + physics for bomblets

yoshi ran into a similar issue with the vehicle dust trails

[versed coyote]

Well, smoke bombs would be kinda useful. Especialy on Khafji. We could just drop like 4-5 smokes so it wont be that heavy

[peak bridge]

I guess, but I already give that same utility anyways to the commanders and SL B via GL smoke rounds

[versed coyote]

Yeah, maybe

Also, does the bomb follow a smoke grenade or targeted place? Like, if the smoke falls down, will the bomb hit the fallen smoke or the wall?

[peak bridge]

it follows the spot where the smoke grenade was originally placed, the smoke can go anywhere else it wants it doesnt matter after that

[versed coyote]

Aha

[peak bridge]

so if you designate a balcony, and the smoke grenade falls off the balcony, the impact will still be the balcony

[versed coyote]

You know what is the problem with smokes, @peak bridge ?

When you implement an ability to edit target location, there will be a lot of smokes lying around the map

[peak bridge]

simple solution: just don't implement that ability lol

[versed coyote]

bad

I stronly disagree

[peak bridge]

I:S doesn't do it, Helldivers 2 doesn't do it, why should I

gotta live with the consequences of your actions

[versed coyote]

Because OHD is a milsim and is intended to make sense

AND

Also

Because the designated target is often not relevant anymore

So you are just wasting a bomb

[peak bridge]

this can be solved with more forward thinking, or attacking static targets like FOBs and such

[versed coyote]

Yes, but I dont want an airstrike to be just a fob buster

[peak bridge]

being able to re-designate is also a problematic mechanic because of how many edge cases that brings in, like the new designation point being drastically different than the old one, so I'd then need to make the jet a "real" plane and have it move around as such

[versed coyote]

No

[peak bridge]

or just fling the bomb sideways 1000m

[versed coyote]

you see

just remove the ability to redesignate 15 seconds before impact

So that like

You have 4 minutes before plane arrives

Thats 4 minutes to track the target

But

Before the ACTUAL plane spawns

(Like 15 seconds before impact)

Just disable redesignating

And 30 seconds before the impact, make a pop-up or a sound effect saying something like.

"Eagle to ground forces, im approaching your position. ETA is 30 seconds, mark the target and seek cover immidietly"

And add a timer

only when the time runs out, the actual plane spawns and you cant designate a new target anymore

[peak bridge]

That is just way more complicated than it needs to be. I'll be sticking with the current implementation

plan ahead with the strikes, or hit static targets, that's all I'm gonna say

[versed coyote]

Yeah, We aint playing fortnite here 💀

[torn falcon]

@peak bridge did you plan it for 10 years "prior"?

[peak bridge]

maybe

[cedar condor]

We're gonna be having OHD space battles in 2027 haha

[finite viper]

mortar goes well with casualfield mod, tells you how far you are from the attack point lol

[peak bridge]

oh lmao nice

[peak bridge]

putting together the final feature and content list for the full release of the mod

[peak bridge]

US AT rifleman now has the M16A2 + Aimpoint A2000

US Scoped rifleman now has a 1 per squad limit instead of 2 per squad

these changes are not pushed yet

all factions now have their respective aircraft as their airstrikes

US - A-10
FR - Jaguar
IRQ - SU-25
SA - F-15

since the A-10 and SU-25 have more racks for bombs, the cooldowns for the US and Iraqi airstrikes are lower by 2 minutes

we'll see how this plays

[cedar condor]

Wait a minute, you got the classic A-10 strafing runs?

Pls show video

[peak bridge]

not yet, its planned

[cedar condor]

Oh oke

[peak bridge]

but rn it drops precision bombs like the other strikes

eventually I also plan to do MLRS launched AT minefields for the US

just cuz they're cool

[peak bridge]

do i add CS style flashbangs where they just throw a white png on your screen and slowly lower the transparency?

that is the question for today

[nocturne glen]

No

[versed coyote]

No, maybe more tarkov-like flashbangs

[peak bridge]

how does tarkov do their flashbangs?

ah ok

https://youtu.be/RXZHCc2Po9c?si=hgJj6TGUYP0vCaQj&t=69

[versed coyote]

Oh oh

I have an idea

Flashbang spawns a very bright white light emitter of half a second

And also it should play a louder sound than regular grenades

the lag grenade 😂

everybody who sees the light has his fps drop to 10

[peak bridge]

I just remembered, sadly I will have to cancel this weekend's playtest since I will be out of town for my grandma's birthday. The next playtest is on the 30th

https://discord.gg/YZckzeg6?event=1218722159745171467

[versed coyote]

Sad

[peak bridge]

landmines are back in

Iraq gets AT mines on the Rocket Grenadier and AT Rifleman

every other faction gets AT mines on only the AT Rifleman

marksman and sniper get AP mines like claymores and OZM-72s

[peak bridge]

mines don't activate when friendlies go through their activation zones, so you dont have to worry about friendly vehicles driving over your mine field

and mines like the OZM-72 have an arming stage (around 5 seconds) after being fully built before they can explode

irl this safety feature is actually closer to 4 minutes, but 5 seconds seems better for gameplay

OZM-72 when unbuilt

OZM-72 when fully built and armed

[versed coyote]

Please add a preview so that we can see where the
Tripwire will be. Also, maybe the tripwire could be shorter?

[peak bridge]

the preview is of the full wire length, and why shorter?

[peak bridge]

this one is what the preview shows

[versed coyote]

Because i think that it may not fit in some buildings? (Maybe) or it would stick trough the wall?

Also, what if there were 3 wire length Variants?
With small you can trap doorways, with medium - halls and corridors, with long - small street?

[peak bridge]

maybe

ill look into doing something like that

aight, i now can have multiple build pieces use the same ammo pool

so now i can do that more cleanly

and now the C4 has a maximum ammo of 2, instead of 4

but you can choose between the 4 options like normal

ill do increments of meters, so a 1, 2, and 3 meter variants

[peak bridge]

@nocturne glen are you using the playtest server? need it for 5 minutes to test out the landmines

[nocturne glen]

nope

go ahead son

[peak bridge]

bet

[versed coyote]

How soon?

[peak bridge]

imminently, just packaging and uploading

the only mines active rn are the TM-62s and OZM-72s

iraq gets the ozm's

[versed coyote]

Okay, 5, 10, 15 minutes?

[peak bridge]

everyone gets the tm-62

less than 10

server is booting up

we're gonna just test the landmines against the vehicles, so i need 1 volunteer to drive over a mine

[versed coyote]

Gonna be there

[peak bridge]

bet

hop on blufor and get in a vehicle

Also is there a diffrerence between BASE game/ Traning Ground "faction" and "DEVBUILDING"?

[finite viper]

if dev build adds more guns or makes changes then yeah

right now dev build isnt set right tho

traingin grounds gives me US vs RU cold war era

alright well cant find the tt 33 in dev build cuz they set the training grounds factions wrong

[torn falcon]

So, its broken in basegame too?

[finite viper]

i was only testing in basegame

or ig ponchovies mod too but hes using it right out of basegame

[torn falcon]

Also found out that it only occurs in short range, on "longer ranges it works "regularly"?

[peak bridge]

server is up

with full map cycle

[finite viper]

probably just becuase it looks like a little bit of bullet drop

[torn falcon]

yeah but as you see it cancels out at "distance"? Weird BUG?

[finite viper]

yeah looks ot be that way

very weird

[peak bridge]

server is up

also, because my mod is technically set in the Cold War, I want to make this crystal clear. I do not condone racism, homophobia, anti-semitism, etc. If you want to play my mod and you partake in any of these, lemme know so I can blacklist your accounts from my mod. Normally I am against adding my own "admin" things to my mods, but in this instance, I have no qualms with abusing my role as a modder to auto-ban you from every server that ever runs this mod

[torn falcon]

Are the bots toggled of Intetionally?

[peak bridge]

bots are enabled on the official

not sure what you are talking about

although i guess they're stuck

[torn falcon]

Yeah taking about that

I told that bcs in I:S game when you want to "turn off" the bots you "toggle them off"?

[peak bridge]

what do y'all think about a sunday playtest

cuz the possibility just opened up for me

should i schedule that?

server is up for those who want to join in early

[peak bridge]

aight i gotta head out, good playtest yall, very informative

ill leave the server up

[neon ermine]

How to join

@cunning rampart

???

[cunning rampart]

Look for official playtest server

[neon ermine]

[cunning rampart]

Should have OHD vehicle overhaul or something as the game mode

[neon ermine]

Ooo

Thanks

[peak bridge]

domain expansion: claymore

[pulsar portal]

yay

ready to walk into so many i placed myself

[finite viper]

yeah same lmao

[peak bridge]

lol i had the same issue the first time i made landmines, so this time around friendly fire triggering is disabled

so spam away

ammobags now delete previously placed ammo bags when you plonk down a new one

[neon ermine]

Ponchovie will this be part of base game

The digging, mortars and those stuff?

[peak bridge]

im being contracted for the rangefinders, and parts of the construction system like the ammo crates, radios, etc, but not the mortar, landmines, or ammo bags

but thats as a prototype, and then someone else (likely donkey) will come along and remake it for base game

Didn't notice the name change at first, mr yoshovie, the successor to mr yosho five

[neon ermine]

What's happening with yoshi is he fien?

I see everyone naming them yoshi

In 3s 4 and fives

.....

And now ponchivie is yoshivie

[finite viper]

yoshi cult which somehow wasnt started by yoshi

[neon ermine]

@finite viper Will u be lomoshi

[finite viper]

yoshix if anything

[peak bridge]

yooshix._.

[finite viper]

maybe yoshimix

lol yooshix would work

[late flower]

It's so sad i have to say this but mr yoshi is ......

[neon ermine]

Yosh e demic

Is spreading rapidly

Is he alright though?

Didn't see him past 3 days

[peak bridge]

yea hes alive

[finite viper]

ye

[peak bridge]

he was in offtopic just now

[neon ermine]

Good

Tell him not to die before he gets my helicopter rin

BTW I saw planes in some pictures

[peak bridge]

oh yea i got jets for airstrikes, they are not player pilotable tho

its like I:S

[cunning rampart]

yet*

[neon ermine]

Oo BTW the reason I asked about him was he told me 2 days ago he will finish his food but he hasn't

Nvm hope he finishes it soon

[pulsar portal]

but you can still shoot them right?

[peak bridge]

yea

[pulsar portal]

fuck yeah

[peak bridge]

any damage will detonate it, be it explosives or bullets

[pulsar portal]

nice

so you could use them to extend mines and stuff

[peak bridge]

ammo bags can now be picked up, and the ammo remaining in the bag will be persistent

so if you take out 3 ammo from the bag, pick it up, and place it elsewhere, it will have 6 ammo left

the ammo will refill from respawning or crates

we are very close to feature completion for the mod

some of the last few things left are the gun run airstrike, a tutorial level for the gameplay mechanics like construction and stuff, and weapon emplacements (possibly)

[pulsar portal]

yay

[finite viper]

Dope

[peak bridge]

there may be 1 or 2 more things left that im forgetting, but those are the big ones

[finite viper]

Can’t wait for full release

[peak bridge]

its gonna be sick

[pulsar portal]

one thing i would like is if you could loot stuff like ammo and grenades from the weapon kits people drop when they did so you can fill up through that too

[finite viper]

Oh yeah

[pulsar portal]

especially useful for healing

[peak bridge]

that'd be sick, but it would probably require gamemode access, which i avoid like the plague

since nobody is gonna run a special gamemode to make some factions work when ohd overhaul and other fantastic gamemode mods exist

[pulsar portal]

oh i see

[peak bridge]

yeah, thats also the reason i have weapon emplacements as a possibly instead of a certainty

but if i can make weapon emplacements, then y'all better be ready for .50 cal and Mk19 teams running around

[peak bridge]

tutorial level time

[blissful depot]

I approve this message

[peak bridge]

as much as I want to finish the mod's existing feature list and publish this mod, I just thought of two possible ideas since I learned how to add stuff to the player's inventory

First is heavy artillery build pieces

• commander access only
• only 2 can be built at one time
• requires a special ammo box to use, so no extra kit
• the ammo box adds 3 artillery rounds to the player's 9th slot (currently unused for all classes)
• throw ammo at the howitzer to fire just like the mortar
• shovel-based control scheme
• much larger maximum range, blast radius, and damage than mortars

second is AT crates

• placeable by squad leaders + commanders
• 1 per radio + 5 minute cooldown
• when interacted with, refills all AT weapons in the player's inventory or if they do not have any AT, gives them a faction-specific AT weapon in their 9th slot (would delete artillery shells from the inventory if they have them)
• like ammo crates, there are a limited amount of AT weapons in the crate, and when it's empty it will be deleted
• france - AC-58 AT rifle grenade (1)
• iraq - RPG-43 AT grenade (1)
• USA - AT4 (1)
• saudi arabia - either RPG-43 or AT4 (1)

i should probably finish the stuff ive already promised, and then look into making this stuff

[chilly ravine]

Probably the best option, in my opinion at least. Get the little things done, publish the mod and then go back and add the stuff you want to add.

[torn falcon]

If ypu could implement those things till Saturday(or Sunday) playtest then do it, if not then refurbish and publish it and just then work on it so we can test it on Next Next "Playtest"?

[sweet agate]

I so hyped for this mod to be available in some form...once it is I will actually keep OHD installed lol.

[peak bridge]

construction tutorial, thoughts?

general infantry tutorial

[finite viper]

Yeah I think that looks good

[narrow bobcat]

now do the same in russian

but poorly translated

</sarcasm>

looks good, ponchovie. Dunno about the font choice though.

not sure if you can only shoehorn fonts in for a gamemode, but i'm pretty sure it's possible for a map; although I don't know exactly how unreal's texture atlasing works for fonting

[peak bridge]

i can pretty much do any font i want, i chose this one since its all over OHD already

[high torrent]

Can you put a black backdround so its easier to read?

[peak bridge]

good idea

[torn falcon]

YoPonch is there domething new for Tommorow/Sunday?

[peak bridge]

lemme check, i dont fully remember what i added this week

Oh yea I finished up the landmines system, so there are improvements and additions to that

• medics get anti-personnel landmines (to help incentivize the class idk)
• machine gunners get anti-tank mines (to spread out the AT capability a little bit and take some weight off the AT rifleman's shoulders)
• ammo bags have persistent ammo and can be picked up after being placed
• when fully built, anti-tank mines have a layer of debris to cover the lids slightly, desert colored of course

[peak bridge]

better? or should i do just solid black behind the text

heres in direct sunlight

[high torrent]

Try solid Black or Grey. Also is there anyway to make it not all caps? It is easier to read.

Try just the all black background first

[peak bridge]

aight

yea its just how this font is

[high torrent]

ok

yeah the detail behind confuses the eyes

[peak bridge]

hows this

[high torrent]

awesome!

So easy to read now!

[peak bridge]

cool, ill copy this over to the other textboxes

[versed coyote]

Remove mines frim medics, please, makes no sense

Maybe bags like ammo bag but for health?

[pulsar portal]

yeah medic should be able to build like a medic bag like the ammo thing

plus ofc the thing they carry

but like if you set up a base with ammo station and stuff they should have their thingy too

also can you buy squirrels?

because like i always wanted a squirrel but like how would you catch squirrels

[versed coyote]

Wut

[pulsar portal]

idk i just want a squirrel

[versed coyote]

Vietcong booby traps

[pulsar portal]

they are so cool

what

no i just want to buy a squirrel because they would be too fast to catch i guess

omg I'd give it a cool hat

I'd name my squirrel peter

[peak bridge]

my dad just started feeding a pair of them

eventually they were comfortable enough around him he could pick them up, they'd sit by the front door and if you left it open long enough they'd try and walk inside

[pulsar portal]

woah

[narrow bobcat]

tree squirrels and ground squirrels have very different behaviors. Most of the ground squirrels I've interacted with have been quite friendly and gentle. They'll bounce right up and take a peanut right out of your hand.

never had a similar experience with a tree squirrel -- they're just too skittish.

[pulsar portal]

sorry i was very high

idk why i talked about squirrels specifically but i was at a protest and it was fun

Is the playtest still going on?

[peak bridge]

no

[versed coyote]

hey Ponchivie

I just realised

What if

I wanted to call an airstrike

But i hit a poorly rendered bush or tree

And i see smoke falling there

What do I do in that situation?

@peak bridge

[west mesa]

That was a good match, love playing khafji

[summer rampart]

Yea only good match during that Playtest rest of em were a cluster f

[peak bridge]

I gotta agree

[hollow linden]

agree

[late flower]

I call click bait, that weapon was not present in the footage

[summer rampart]

Get click baited

[undone ivy]

Now it would be cool to see a Soviet-Afghan war mod like this one, cause we have the maps (Afghan mountain and Al-Dakhir), we have the basegame factions and we have the vehicles
I think a big map with mountains and valleys paktia style and the factions re-done is what we need

[neon ermine]

We need outposts

[versed coyote]

Ponchovie

Whats with flashbangs?

Are they still planned or rejected

?

[peak bridge]

I deemed they weren't important enough and would stretch me thinner than I already am so they have been cut

[versed coyote]

Just were experimenting with post processing valuse in sdk (exposure, vignette, eye adaptstion speed) and had a couple of ideas on them

[neon ermine]

Ponchovie UAV'S

[peak bridge]

playtest is live

get in the server boyos

[peak bridge]

aight i gotta head out and finish cleaning my house

cya

[versed coyote]

Ey ponchovie

Can you lower built piece's hp?

Because digging it down with shovel is very slow

And destroying is also not an option

Because even basic sandbag wall can withstand 3+ rpg rounds, at mine explosion + grenades.

Was a problem in last playtest

[peak bridge]

Digging down enemy fortifications is intentionally slow, to discourage ninja gameplay but still allow folks to leave spawn if they get blocked in

The code that does that might also be applying for other types of damage so I will look into that

[summer rampart]

Mod release when?

[peak bridge]

When I finish the tutorial map and add gun runs

Off the top of my head, that's it

[summer rampart]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/942173402838470696/1137766308822401034/1063504134894002186.gif

[nocturne glen]

lol wtf

[peak bridge]

boshi may i kill the playtest server so i can get the desert storm playtest going?

playtest server is open and ready!

[peak bridge]

aight, good playtest everybody, what i noticed is a few bugs and changes needing to be made having to do with

• landmines not properly chain detonating when exploded
• riflemen need binoculars, ive now realized its unbelievably annoying without them
• mine detector item?
• iraqi machine gunner need's their landmines, forgot to give them it

[torn falcon]

Just curious, emplacements will be done after release?

[versed coyote]

Mine detector? Nah

[peak bridge]

yeah, i wanna get this into people's hands before i add on extra features, otherwise this will never release

[hollow linden]

landmine also doesn't deal any damage for some reason

[peak bridge]

to vehicles or wha?

[hollow linden]

vehicle

[peak bridge]

hmm ill look into it

[peak bridge]

https://discord.gg/ZWHAncpG?event=1228841561236836425

fixed the time on the event, its now 1pm CST instead of saying both 1pm and 12pm

[peak bridge]

yoshi broke the vehicles again :(

[summer rampart]

the ammo bags that you put down as a rifel man how long dose it take for them to despawn?

[peak bridge]

they do not despawn by themselves, they have to be picked back up

[versed coyote]

can you make its so that only a rifleman can pick bags up? Im tired of accidentally picking up my mate's bags as an AT.

[peak bridge]

thats odd, it should be that only riflemen pick them up

[versed coyote]

Yeah

But anyway, i play as a rifleman, i drop the bag, i pick AT kit from a corpse, then I accidentaly walk over the bag and it despawns

[peak bridge]

oh thats what you mean

yeah ill look into it

[versed coyote]

Yee

[torn falcon]

@peak bridge Yosh,i have a idea, so firat, does the US Grenadier have AT mine's in his inventory, if yes how bout( if you have enough time for it today and tomorrow) you make a HEDP anti armor round for m203(bcs aparently it can penetrate brdm and btr armor from cca 150m)

[peak bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-pissi-twitch-7tv-gif-7223094372649290081

fr?

well shit lemme do some research, if what you say is true then US grenadier will have AT

ive been looking for some AT to give the kit that makes sense

shit i might even replace the commander's frag rounds with HEDP

[nocturne glen]

yes HEDP

[nocturne glen]

Plz make it hurt btr

Would be funny as shit

[torn falcon]

It should:
https://www.quora.com/How-effective-would-an-M203-grenade-launcher-be-at-knocking-out-WW2-era-tanks-if-you-had-anti-tank-ammo-for-it
Also if you guys need to look how it should for, i think RHS has it (i think) properly simulated

[nocturne glen]

Yes ponchovie bebe make it kill all the vehicles

[peak bridge]

yeeee

[torn falcon]

80A and LAV not included?

[peak bridge]

the HEDP can apparently pen 40mm of armor, so like yea

[nocturne glen]

WAT THE FUCK THERE'S NO WAY

[nocturne glen]

nu uh that's photoshop

[peak bridge]

50*

[nocturne glen]

BRUH WAT THE FUCK

The BMP-2 has maybe 40mm of effective RHA, (angle taken into account)

[nocturne glen]

I put the LAV at 80mm on the front or some shit

[peak bridge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/804929353942695967/1204277380823121961/attachment.gif

fuck yes im adding HEDP

[versed coyote]

The forbidden glory hole

[peak bridge]

• commander gets it as well for his GL

[torn falcon]

Wait, how i swear to god i saw 5mm of Armor, and it writes 50 even on the MaIn article

[peak bridge]

im thinking up the damage and lower the blast radius, slap a "rocket launcher" tag on it and call it a day

[nocturne glen]

ye

oh shi if you do that

it will work with all the fancy BS armor shit i made

[peak bridge]

ballin

[nocturne glen]

imagine

you are in BTR

some dude just yeets a HEDP into the side

half the passengers are dead

imagine the salt omg

[peak bridge]

it apparently has a small issue of doing damage once inside, so youd need quite a few of em according to quora

[nocturne glen]

mm yes quora the ultimate military leak site

also where i get my info

[peak bridge]

now take that with a pile of salt, because it came from an answer to a hypothetical

but for gameplay purposes, it will be as effective as the other offered AT grenades

maybe more because we need to have bias

[nocturne glen]

well there has got to be more concrete sources

[peak bridge]

yea

i could do more research, but for stuff like this knowing it exists is enough and then i will arbitrarily assign values until it feels good

[nocturne glen]

bruh therei s no way

https://www.nationaldefensecorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/M433HedpLv.pdf

it says 63mm

[peak bridge]

lets go, 2/4 parts are manufactured in my home state

[nocturne glen]

This is the scuffed shit i do to get "penetration" stats

cuz this penetration stuff does not exist in game

The RHAPenetrationMM is the penetration at 0 degreees

[peak bridge]

fair nuff

[nocturne glen]

So for the 63mm pen for example you would prob put the Outer Radius to 315 cm

Tweak however you want son

I gotta add a armor display thing for my mod

like in WT

[peak bridge]

ballin

[nocturne glen]

The LAV is 80mm (no slopes taken into account) on the front

IF you go above 40mm you will damage basically everything short of a LAV from the front

[peak bridge]

heres the stats on an RPG-43 btw

120mm of pen

[nocturne glen]

tf is the 43

the disposable RU?

[peak bridge]

the french AT is 240mm of pen

[nocturne glen]

ye

[peak bridge]

this pos

[nocturne glen]

BRUH

oh

ye

irl i think a lot of the rockets are anywhere from like 200-500mm RHA

so would go through all vics like butter

[peak bridge]

AT4 in my mod has 300

and so does the rpg7

[nocturne glen]

ye

[peak bridge]

so yea im gonna tone down the AC58 for the french and the RPG-43 for the saudis and iraqis

[nocturne glen]

irl i think an at4 is like 400 - 450mm or some shit something around that number

[nocturne glen]

no fuck the vehicles

[peak bridge]

yeah its blast radius tho is 15m in game

[peak bridge]

aight fuck it

M203 with 5000 mm of pen

wait nvm, i have a better idea

[nocturne glen]

https://tenor.com/view/acquisire-realismo-war-thunder-get-real-gif-22304491

[peak bridge]

grenadier only has HEDP instead of 10 frags he gets 10 HEDP

fuck ya life

[nocturne glen]

i think for the projectiles you can mess with the falloff

so you can keep the stupid high outer radius

but it won't kill everyone in it idk

[peak bridge]

tru

[torn falcon]

Well than thats a GLORIFIED AT instead of Regular at with AT4?

[nocturne glen]

• the vics scale base damage, it ignores the actual radial damage

[peak bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-bagelnet-bagel-bagels-gif-15161223

[peak bridge]

just jokes, im gonna give em 6 frags and 4 HEDP

plus the normal 5 smokes

2-3 HEDP to kill big vehicles is the goal

[torn falcon]

Yeah, that be good?

[nocturne glen]

imagine putting a hole in a floating btr with a hedp round and seeing it sink from floogind

🤣

[peak bridge]

haha

[peak bridge]

packaging with the HEDP rn

[versed coyote]

Yey

[peak bridge]

so the USA commander kit has had their frags taken away and replaced with HEDP rounds, the USA grenadier has had 4 of their frag rounds taken and replaced with HEDP rounds

stats of the HEDP round

guaranteed infantry kill within 5 meters

its live chat

[torn falcon]

@peak bridge Do you know how to spawn things in apollo?

[peak bridge]

yea

hit the home button as an admin, then the spawn vehicle button at the top left

[torn falcon]

Like hit home button to get in Apollo or click it in Apollo

[peak bridge]

to get into apollo

R to release the mouse

[torn falcon]

Ok this is the "key" i needed to know for function

[peak bridge]

hold on, i did a fucky wucky and now the frag and HEDP are using the same ammo

[peak bridge]

uploaded

[hollow linden]

dope

[torn falcon]

Nah it didnt, you just you wrong labelling

[peak bridge]

it did, i just fixed it and uploaded it, but yea i did mess up the labels

[torn falcon]

But it was supposed to kill BTR on 4 rounds, right?

[peak bridge]

no, i guess i need to up the damage

[torn falcon]

Nah i mean the previous HEDP, HE mixed up version?

[peak bridge]

3 rounds is supposed to kill it

?

previous hedp?

[torn falcon]

The "old HEDP" was 2 shot on MTLB and 3-4 kill on BTR and BRDM?

[peak bridge]

old HEDP is 3 shot on MTLB and cannot kill on heavier vehicles

at least from my testing

now it should be 2 shot for most vehicles and 3 shot for heavier vehicles like the btrs

[torn falcon]

Weird for me it killed mtlb on 2 rounds and brdm and btr on 3-4 rounds as US Grenadier?

[peak bridge]

odd

might be the angle and spot you hit

[torn falcon]

Rear either left side right side or direct "bun"?

[peak bridge]

i was hitting it from the front with best possible angling for the vehicle

[peak bridge]

all grenadier/Commander kits with the M79 will ALSO have HEDP rounds

since they can use the same ammo

[nocturne glen]

https://tenor.com/view/andor-brasso-scream-screaming-riot-gif-27145761

[versed coyote]

@peak bridge dude

checked out hedp rounds

cool but OP

mtlb should not be destroyed from 1 hedp round

maybe reduce demage by half?

[peak bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nope-no-way-noo-absolutely-not-gif-20244171

Can't reduce the damage so that mtlbs are two shot because then they can't consistently kill btrs

234 damage is as low as I can go and mtlb only has 220 helth

I would like mtlbs to be a two shot, but it just ain't happenen

[nocturne glen]

I cant be changin the health for the vics to tweak tgem i. My own mid and everyone elses faction mod

+we got insane player count im not going to kill off the servers

Also why is a hedp round doing rpg levels of damage

[versed coyote]

Thats what Im talking about

[versed coyote]

Dude

Thats the point

Small underbarrel grenade should not be as effective as an Antitank grenade like rpg-7 or AT4

and you should not be able to kill a BTR or LAV with this stuff.
You should be able to seriously damage it, but not kill it

@nocturne glen also cumulative jet is effective to damage inner components and people inside

So, maybe, instead of destroying the hull, everything cumulative except AT lauchers should damage engine, ammo, and people inside

[versed coyote]

Because jet just creates a narrow hole, it doesnt tear off half of the vehicle

@peak bridge @nocturne glen

[peak bridge]

its a specifically designed BTR killer, and the other anti tank grenades have already been doing this for weeks

but yea i guess i can lower the damage a little bit

4 shot btr under ideal conditions (not from front

[versed coyote]

American bias

[peak bridge]

true and real

[nocturne glen]

I get fuck the BTR but like I think ya 4 or maybe even 5 to kill. Depends on the kit. Doesn't the AT grenadier already have an AT4?

[versed coyote]

Yes they do

[nocturne glen]

Like maybe not every weapon needs to kill a vehicle on it's own. Like the AT4 could be the main AT boi, and the HEDP could be for finishing off already hurt vehicles.

[versed coyote]

Or some other at laucnchers

[nocturne glen]

But it's up to you

[versed coyote]

If these grenades are as effective as rpgs

Then its more effective to pick a grenadier instead of AT

[peak bridge]

thats true, but im kind of trying to make grenadiers be like a shitty LAT kit as well, since i dont like the idea of an extra dedicated AT kit with rockets but i also think more AT weapons need to be available

[versed coyote]

yes

Realy, please just make these grenades less powerfull

[peak bridge]

fair enough

[versed coyote]

For the sake of balance

[peak bridge]

does this sound good?

[versed coyote]

its public right now

[sweet agate]

Yooo! Going to reinstall and get playing this!

[digital socket]

Question, if the server has Kit Restictions off and anyone can get Squad Leader kit does that mean anyone can spawn Airstikes or no? Is there anyway to disabled them?

[peak bridge]

yes, and yes (soon), tomorrow or possibly later tonight ill be adding faction variations to disable construction, disable airstrikes, disable mortars, or all three at once. These faction variations will just remove the kit that has the ability (or edit the kit in the case of the SL / commander)

[digital socket]

Right ok, well I am looking forward to that, will potentially add once you can disable Airstrikes at least 😄

[digital socket]

Also do constructions have a limit? Like if I have kit restrictions off are Squad Leaders able to just spam build as that may cause more lag to the server?

[peak bridge]

theres a limit to how many build pieces can be in one area due to radios, and then theres a minimum distance between radios

certain kits can build without a radio, but those are linked to the player that owns those build pieces, and pretty heavily limited as well

build pieces also have a despawn timer on them to make sure old build pieces aren't hogging the server's resources

[digital socket]

Whats the despawn timer? And does the Radio or AmmoCrate despawn at all?

[peak bridge]

It takes 20 minutes (but I am working on a system so that if nothing damages or heals a build piece after 10 minutes, it despawns so that it can last longer when in constant use), and the radio and ammo crate are no exception

[digital socket]

Ok I see and how does everything take damage? Is it different based on what object it is, do guns damage it, rockets, vehicles?

[peak bridge]

Only bullets and shovels can damage radios (to avoid people destroying radios they don't know about), but everything else can take damage from all sources. HESCO and sandbag walls have an increased resistance to bullet damage. Vehicles also damage the build pieces as you'd expect

[digital socket]

Ok I see

Thanks, sounds awesome! Yea hopefully ill add once those Airstrikes can be disabled, although not sure how well its going to go with not being able to to US VS RU since having RU targets/interests those players in the community since there are a lot of them. But will see nicely done btw

[peak bridge]

no problem, glad I could answer your questions

[high torrent]

Lets fucking gooooooooo It's finally released!!!

[digital socket]

Last question, what is the chance of having that one faction variation tonight? If so I will put it up for it to populate by morning with a full server.

[peak bridge]

pretty high, its a quick addition

[glacial spoke]

the helis really want to hug and attach to each other while on the ground

[peak bridge]

Aight, late night hotfix coming imminently
Changes:

• Faction variations to disable Airstrikes or Mortars (disabling construction will happen later, busy tonight)
• Fixed ammo bags being picked up even when the owning player didn't have an ammo bag in their inventory (thanks to @vladimirgaming99 for reporting)
• Remote explosives now properly can be detonated when respawning or entering and exiting vehicles (thanks to @hollow linden for reporting)

[hollow linden]

why disable construction?

https://tenor.com/view/rip-juice-cry-cat-kitten-tears-gif-15751834

[peak bridge]

in case server owners are concerned about performance, they can choose to disable the construction system (and also mines and the custom ammo bags since they also use that system)

but for the default the construction system stays

hotfix is live

[neon ermine]

Which servers are supported

Also ponchovie if u need drones ask me

[peak bridge]

care to explain further?

[neon ermine]

Which wervers are supported or using this mod

[peak bridge]

currently Loyal Games is running a server with this, and yuppy is interested in starting one

[glacial spoke]

since this is desert storm factions is there going to be attention to detail on the equipment available to each side? iraq im pretty sure didnt have apaches or ka-52s as they were still in testing until the mid 90s 😉 prob more like Mi-24s, Mi-8s and some other non-military stuff like the Bell 214ST https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Iraqi_Model_214ST_SuperTransport_helicopter,_1991.JPEG

[neon ermine]

Ponchovie does sdk have a default character with no clothes

[peak bridge]

no

[neon ermine]

Is the head mesh separate or merged?

[peak bridge]

best you get is bare arms from the hands to the elbows, and the neck up

[neon ermine]

If there is enough exposure I will work on turkish forces

Because I can't make those

[peak bridge]

once vehicles are added to base game, I will be adding historically accurate vehicles, but right now vehicles are only available in #1110291763941355691 and @nocturne glen chooses which vehicles are in that mod

what about?

[neon ermine]

Faction mod

I don't know how to use sdk
