In the campaign, in places like castles, tavern , etc. i want to display written Dialogs / Quotes above NPC's heads

There's a dedicated channel on the Discord server for this or just put them here : https://steamcommunity.com/app/636970/discussions/0/1744482417426222589/

https://discord.gg/nmVPjQb

To illustrate what i'm talking about, if you've ever played Fallout 1 or 2 , there was random custom dialog lines displayed



So just drop your custom one liner / quotes / dialog and i'll put them in the game

it's not mandatory to be strict Quotes - it can be random doalog like "My father died 2 days ago. I wonder why it took so long".

i just want the old Fallout spirit to be back with some funny / easter eggs / no respect random dialogs

So, 1st thing, there's a unity bug which can cause hard crash (black screen / reboot mandatory)
it's tied to particles (Flame, Blood, Snow, Rain, etc)
i've deactivated all ingame particles but some might still be there (falling snow on some maps, dynamic weather, etc)

This bug should be corrected quickly by unity as it's blocking every VR dev
but while it's not, no releases in production


About the beta content :

- Combat evolution with better impacts reactions on npcs. you can hit them multiple times. for exemple, tap quickly multiple times on shield and it will move away each time

- Combat IA evolution : enemies will try to circle you V2. when they have on of their team member between them and you, they will try to move right or left

- Combat evolution : Grabbing .
Grab physics hav been reworked.
You can grab by the arm or the the head.
Grabbing is now done with the grip button
- grabbing by the arm will just make the npc fall on ground
- grabbing by the neck will let you combo : Throw him away, pin him to a wall with a weapon, thrown him up and impale him, throw him and punch him throw him and kick him

Combat evolution : Punching - Trigger button with hand not equipped will clench your fists as before but now you can really punch npcs in the head or body with no risk of grabbing them
punch do damages now
- small punch will do little damages
- big punches (like running toward and punching npc in the face) will make him fly away
- you can still slap them in the face open hand to make them stagger too

Kick physics and shield bash have been reworked too

While enemies are stabbed, you can now punch them, kick them , hit them with your shield to make them fly away

Combat evolution : Weapon throwing - All weapons are now thrown by releasing the grip button (no more trigger)
- a small movement while releasing will just drop them
- a big movement while throw them away
-> Doing a big movement with javelin, axes or daggers will trigger the throwing system (same as before)

Oher evolutions :
Polearms can now be held in reverse : just throw them in the air and grab reverse. Only the Big jousting pole cant be held reverse

New sounds added : Stabbing, flesh hits, punching, kicking, falling from cliff, etc

Destroyed Shields and Polearm Fragments will now disapear in 10 sec to maintain perfs

Added a breakable option to throwable things (u ca only test with the bottle in the lobby)

Lot of bug corrections and improvments here and there

i think that's all

Cheers,

Jay

Hey all, nice little beta update with the following content :

- You can now pickup enemy limbs
and throw them to their friends / hit them with to make them stagger

- Added some bottles to, just for testing. in lobby and in the tutorial. no throw sound. No breaking, but you can throw them
maybe i'll add some throwable things in the future

- Archers and skirmishers now have limited ammo. Once out of ammo, they unsheat a blade and go melee. The will be considered as infantry then for orders

- Archers in Firewall now fires 3 flamed arrows each time
so it really increase firewall formation power

- Stamina have been slightly changed

- All weapons can be thrown at enemies just by releasing grip with force
this doesn't change actual throwable weapons way to do it's just an addition
if the angle is right, stabable weapons will stick to walls, objetcs and bodies
they will rebound on enemies shields and weapons
but can kill them if hit the head

- When you've stabbed an enemy, you can release the weapon in him, just by releasing grip also, if doing this against a wall/surfaceyou can pin the enemy to the surface

finally, i've reworked a little animation and physics blending on hits

This beta also include previous modifications on Modding. All units now have separate outfits files so you can customise everything.

Cheers,

Jay
