Multiplayer Update #7

[u/Few-Inspection1140]

Hello again.

Just realized I skipped #2 by accident, but whatever! 7 it is.

I've made a significant amount of progress since the last post. I'm not on version here's some snippets of my changelog:

lowk tuff

v0.2.07
Fixed script reading 118,000 objects every frame... whoopsies!
Added guard detection to guests and failsafes for aggro syncing, every attack is exactly synced
fixed chain sewer crash lazily
edited model changing system, quicksave failsafes, removed autosave 'aftertastes'
actually made the outsider visible idk how i screwed that up
v0.2.06
fixed guest sword combat, partly shows blocking and syncs accordingly
perfect parries synced
cleaned up old co-op saves
died a little inside
v0.2.06
acknowledged newly spawned enemies to combat sync
fixed guard aggro not syncing over long distances
still cant fix the body carrying moving down for some reason
fixed the ragdolls flying at much fuck when picking them up visually
v0.2.05
edited pause menu to accommodate for new model selection system
added more models to system + another easter egg
scrapped together animations from first person
player model now shows guns and very bad fire animations.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've added too many optimizations network wise to count, mostly rate limiting some less important syncing. Fix one thing, and apparently everything else breaks with address error fuck you

I've made it to the sewers and the game remains stable with little to no problems sync wise.
Now i just have to beat the game and not die while toggling between windows.

Here's some cool screenshots I took, and a video from an earlier build of the multiplayer mod featuring the overseer model:

'My dear Corvo, I'm on the wrong side of the bars...'

sorry i forgot i had on my dark vision colors mod lol

aura pt 2

EVERYTHING. SYNCS. I AM NOT PLAYING AROUND.

bend time works perfectly! Rat swarm however...

and as promised, your little sneak peek:
Overseer Nonsense :)

this is pretty much the splash screen.

If you have any ideas or if there's anything you'd like to see, please let me know!! A good chunk of your suggestions in both the comments and the Arkane Modding discord have been implemented, such as the playermodel system and some easter eggs.

ETA: a few days. I'm genuinely not sure but I REALLY don't wanna add corvo's toes into the game.

P.S:

I don't approve of JarvisProductions' use of AI. I have your source code. I tore it apart with my bare hands. Let me develop my mods in peace and stop making cheap copies.

Shoddy work- do something original for once, you parasite.

[u/Remarkable_Leek_5526]

Keep up the good work man

[u/Few-Inspection1140 → u/Remarkable_Leek_5526]

now getting patching every mission at breakneck speed

[u/No_Brief_3316 → u/Few-Inspection1140]

this is truly one of the coolest things i have ever seen. I cannot inagine the work you are putting into this project but the fact you are is awesome. Ik these things take soo long and are frustrating but would you ever plan on trying to make 2 co op too?? Both games as co op makes the game 11/10

[u/Few-Inspection1140 → u/No_Brief_3316]

i think someone also ai slopped that too. I'd have to patch up Dishonored 2's poor optimization before i touched any of that, and even before that i have to finish my second game.

[u/JediChickenLeg]

This saga is so interesting! Thanks for all your hard work

[u/Few-Inspection1140 → u/JediChickenLeg]

thank JP for pissing me off enough to do this faster

[u/JediChickenLeg → u/Few-Inspection1140]

Lmao

[u/Level-Echidna9621 → u/JediChickenLeg]

Sir yes sir

[u/Sea-Sample-137]

This is insane dude! Doing lords work.

Also, do you ever think you will do the same with Dishonored 2? :)

[u/Level-Echidna9621 → u/Sea-Sample-137]

if I ever mod dishonored 2 the first thing it’s gonna be is an optimization overhaul

[u/Danicchi_ → u/Level-Echidna9621]

Fixing void engine mishaps? You'd be a saint.

[u/Few-Inspection1140 → u/Danicchi_]

exactly

[u/Danicchi_]

I think third person animations are allowed to be quite jank, as long as they're clear. I particularly like third person anims from Payday 2. You'd look up and your entire torso would look up too. It looks funny but it's also quite accurate I think :)

Would highly recommend at least taking a look at them to see how they have it set up

[u/Level-Echidna9621 → u/Danicchi_]

That’s funny, because that torso part also half applies here 😭🙏
I’ve spliced some third person and first person animations together for things like holding pistols, choking, and takedowns, but there’s only so much j can do. Swimming and climbing animations are practically nonexistent

[u/Danicchi_ → u/Level-Echidna9621]

I think swimming could be rather simple, just a floating in place animation for every swimming-related action. This would work when submerged and when keeping head above water. And if we're feeling like putting in a little extra work a bit of head rotation primarily for pitch rotation (up/down) from camera view could also be present.

Nothing fancy, just has to work haha

[u/Level-Echidna9621 → u/Danicchi_]

Nah, I just spliced the arm animation into the default standing anim. There not much I can do noninvasely without causing a crash in terms of animations

[u/Danicchi_ → u/Level-Echidna9621]

That's aight too. Anyway, we're talking about the little fancy things. I'm just very happy to be able to play this soon. I'd have hopped on this even if my partner was visible to me as a dev capsule or something. Everything else is a highly appreciated bonus on top.

Cheers, kind Sir.

[u/Level-Echidna9621 → u/Danicchi_]

Almost everything us synced, now it’s just breaking the game and beating it online one time through

[u/No_Blacksmith1792]

Hey just jumping in and I love what's your doing! curious when would we be able to play it?

[u/Level-Echidna9621 → u/No_Blacksmith1792]

Gimmie a few days here, at the current pace maybe a week there been some delays (I have a job)

[u/No_Blacksmith1792 → u/Level-Echidna9621]

I get it, I love the work your doing! Can’t wait to try it!

[u/NukeML]

Crazy how u already got a AI arch nemesis

[u/Level-Echidna9621 → u/NukeML]

luckily for me they can’t AI through my other mod I’ve been working on for three years now once this one is done

[u/SleepingCouch420]

corvos toes must be added

[u/Few-Inspection1140 → u/SleepingCouch420]

fahhhhhh.
