Immersion Overhaul Mutator Information

[Cwivey]

It installs in Documents/My Games/RedOrchestra2/ROGame/Published/CookedPC


Well did for me at least

 

[Fisher]

Ok, I've done the clean install but it still keeps crashing

 

[Cwivey]

I had issues with the mutator crashing me. Try running it on GrainElevator.

 

[dibbler67]

Hrrm. That's frustrating.

Best I can do now is say I'll look into it tomorrow night

Ah, it seems to work, but only on grain elevator...and only on firefight. Though I must say, it sounds incredibly good, and the helmets and blood etc. are awesome.

One thing for consideration though...the PPSH and MG38 seem to sound remarkably similar...I can barely tell the difference unless I'm using the weapon myself..

We had 8 players testing online on Cat's server yesterdoo. No crashes across the board, played on Territory: Peleliu, Spartanovka, Pavlovs House

I called down a rocket attack, but it seems the actual "WOOSH" of the rockets before they land is still not working in multiplayer? Nonetheless that distant whine of the incoming strike is terrifying.

How odd. It's in the same sound cue iirc. Glad to hear everything else worked well though.

All right, bumping this because I've had another breakthrough and could use some community input.

Note that there won't be another update for a while (week or two) back to my work schedule and I've a million things to do now These are just things I know I can make work now.

Here we go:

Simulated shrapnel-
My system works! I need some reasonable numbers for damage, range, and number of fragments. Testing with mortar shells: 75 damage, max range of 20m, 300 fragments. Pretty deadly, but I put the center of the burst above ground and didn't allow negative Z values for the trace vectors. This means if you hit the dirt your chances of survival go way up.

Fragments kick up dirt, and function like bullets in that they will produce their own whip sound (10% chance to do this, because there are hundreds!)

TheSynchronizer is working on some shrapnel wound decals

Even with 300 fragments the performance hit seems low. We'll see though.

Death Animations:

So I found a lot more of these that aren't used. There are 5-6 heart, neck, and nut shot anims for example. Now I looked in the animtree for pawns, and while most are listed in the DeathType node's children they don't play. This might be an issue with the native code of ROAnimBlendByDeath (I think that's its name) or the RO death anim sequence.

For whatever reason only the Death_pose child will randomly select an animation from its list. The others only play one, and it doesn't matter if you change the name of the anim to a different one, it's always the same.

With death_pose I can put them all in though, and death_pose is the default. So I can make it so people writhe around every time they're shot. There's an unused 17 sec 'Stomach_Shot' anim I used here as well. A 'happy' side effect of this is that this means EXPLOSIONS cause death animations now, so you have guys rolling around with stubby limbs screaming It's crazy.

The problem is the animation will play even if the guy has no head. Haven't solved that yet.

So what do you guys think?

I realize this has grown way beyond just sound, I think I'll be renaming it to the Immersion Mutator or something

 

[Kleist]

Guys with no heads screaming arround?


I like it that I have much more death voices in game now, and that they are in game more often.
But yeah, you need to implement some death animations, too. It

Oh my, this I'd like to see.

Dibbler,

you just keep amazing us. I think you are my saviour of RO2!

 

[Cpt Blackadder]

This is looking great, if you're going to put RO1 voices in I think most people will want "Shambeh Bambeh!".

 

[SiC-Disaster]

More death animations would be great.

I have to say, I played around with the mutator for a bit and I can't go back to the way it was just the bullet cracks alone change so much for the atmosphere, and the extra screams and stuff going on is fantastic. The blood effects are good too. This is a fantastic mutator already.

 

[Giuliano]

Keep up the good work man.


Hopefully when this gets whitelisted TWI will implement it into the game with a patch or something. It really is unreal how much better the game is with this mutator.

 

[EvilHobo]

FYI the RO1 voices are already in RO2, under a placeholder audio package.

 

[MostlyHarmless]

Can you do something for the RO2 "take cover" voice command that for some reason is only "enemy artillery"

Yes, I think so. Especially if there's one recorded with RO2 voices already.

Otherwise it'd have to use the RO1 one, which might sound a little weird if your character has a different voice.

I think differerent voices aren

I don't understand how we don't have 3D voip when we do have such a good sound system. Why not tie the squad voip to the character voices, would that work?
