This game unfortunately doesn't work at all, its just a black screen with foot step noises

Ingokoe

Thats what im searching for.

Pls try to get it on work, gun is not schooting, movement etc.

If you can create a dynamic play on the maps, it must get very very fantastich

Ah, if this happens it's because the server is full. I'll try to get server connection errors to render in the next build. Try again later, you might get online!

Ah, I thought my game crashed, but I guess the server is full because I hear the footsteps. I was in for a bit and its pretty cool. I'm not sure if i'm the only one but for some reason the mouse movements from left to right and right to left is really jerky.I'm looking forward to more updates on this one.

Teddy0k

Try disabling "VR Comfort Mode" in the launcher. I'm not really sure it's working out well for mouse, but it's pretty sweet for gamepad.

ccp001

good to know thanks will try later

EDit: tried it, is it suppose to be really choopy turning?

Turn off "comfort mode"

ccp001

whoops shoulda read

Sharkku

Feedback: You should make the animations faster, right now it feels a little like your avatar is moving in syrup... Really love the control system though!

Sharkku

Your Trello-page says that 2.1 is released, but I can't find it mentioned anywhere on the forum or Reddit?

Teddy0k

Well spotted! I found a couple of showstopper bugs before I rolled it out, just nailing those down now. Wish me luck!

Sharkku

Aha! Good luck, fingers crossed!

Boom! Eager to give this a shot.

Lent my Rift to a friend, will this run without it for testing it tonight?

Edit, answer my own question just by finally getting the download to work and trying it.

It does work without the rift.

Hi Teddy

Thank you for the update. All the projects you work on seem to have "that Magic Touch"!
I really like this, but unfortunately get a little motion sickness after playing for 30mins or so, and its only due to the turning speed and having to turn using the analog stick.
Do you think its possible to make the movement/look work that same as in the Quake2 VR implementation?
Could you also confirm if this will support Sixsense STEM when you get yours?


All the best
Christoph :-)

Just had a play with this whoever was P1mpshooter that was good long duel 8-) I think final score was 32-23?

Very well done control scheme teddy, and even now the balance is pretty good, the scarcity of bullets makes for a frantic start. Bleedout is working well though it would be nice to have a bandaging system so that a single bullet isn't the death sentence it currently is.

Looking forward to the updates!

Teddy0k

Here's some footage from a gameplay session last night, thanks everyone who played (except those that shot me )

kentoster

Sweet game Teddy! I wish there were more people to play with. In order to try to spread the word I made a vid. If anyone wants to play me. Hit me up by commenting on the vid.

I've just released a new version with "Team Elimination" game mode, which should be lots of fun!

Sharkku

Teddy, this is a great game! Such realism! And I can't stress enough how great the aiming system is, the decoupled head movement and walking direction... THIS is how it should be in EVERY demo!!!

Teddy0k

I've just released version v0.2.3 which has a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks for team mode. Thanks for everyone helping me test it out, it's starting to get really fun!

Had a great laugh with Kent on this tonight! Not the latest version though.

I seen Sharkku there and you Teddy, this game is forcing me to sell my rifle and buy a stem package this Christmas

Sharkku

Yup, this game alone makes me want to buy a STEM. Great games the other night! Wasn't sure if you could hear me sometimes though. If I select push-to-talk OFF, is voice supposed to be on constantly then?

kindfox

Hi Teddy, may I ask what kind of positional voice comm solution you used in the game?

Falan

Teddy I spend a lot of time in this demo - unfortunately alone, would it be possible to throw out a map with rag-doll dummies all over the place, exactly the same as the multiplayer map - just something for me to walk round and shoot at please?

There doesn't need to be any gameplay mechanic, just everything exactly the same but with models to execute

Bit cheeky asking I know but im regularly logged in and im a bit bored of just walking round collecting ammo lol

Qbopper

Is there a voice server or IRC or something to see if anyone's up for a game? Would love to try this

Also, getting a rendering error in the TDM (firing range works fine) - all the items/my playermodel are rendered black, no matter the type of lighting, and some of the metal bars high in the walls have a strange faint purple trail if I move quickly while looking at them. The trail thing is unnoticeable, but the items rendering black issue prevents me for seeing my ammo count and the like. I'll get some pictures later

The black smudge is a screen problem thats always been there. Some games use a simple fix to help with it, but many dont. I dont know about the other problem.

I used Unreal's built in voice comms, then modified it to attach the AudioComponent to a socket on the player's head.

I'm going to add some a zombie survival co-op mode soon, which should be good fun and help get more people testing it!

That is a great idea! It would keep players on in single mode long enough to get multiplayer games going! And co-op is always fun! (Maybe talk to Sh0v0r about getting some of his zombie-models to shoot at? )

Falan

Can't wait for the zombie survival mode!
