Build 40!

Build 40!

Massive gameplay changes, 25 new weapons, updated old weapons and a new map, might be one of the biggest updates yet!

[ GAMEPLAY ]

Added Octagonal Ascension, featuring faster zombie speeds, higher zombie cap and zombies not colliding with each other. Have fun!

Completely gutted the store, improved the UI and made it so EVERY SINGLE WEAPON can be bought at far lower prices and less of a level restriction, guns can now be previewed, along with camos. 

Reworked camo shading, camos now use Triplanar Projection to make the camo seam-free between gun parts, alongside this most camos have also received a big upgrade in visuals too.

Added Time-Based as a game mode to all maps

Completely redid animation systems for better blending, 

-ADSing while mid animation will no longer skew the final ads pose

-World at War weapons now have sprint bobs

-Post BO4 guns now have sprinting animations (additives)

-Sprinting is far more smooth and looks seamless

-Added anim notifies to signal ammo to be given to the player farther from the end of the anim, meaning you’ll get your ammo back before the reload finishes on most guns.

-Added walk additive anims from cod which look far smoother (gun bob while walking) 

-Tons more changes

Added slight camera tilt while moving in omnidirectional angles, diving left/right now tilts the camera more giving a proper feeling of diving.

Complete zombie AI rework, more traditional to cod and performs miles better. Changes include

-Large performance increase with many zombies on the map, going from a decent FPS drop to a minimal drop

-Zombie speeds are now based on the locomotion anim, making speeds feel more grounded and inconsistent which is how it is in cod.

-Improved zombie ambient sounds

-Zombies don’t move when attacking only when walking (also like cod)

-Upped the zombie model count from 7 to 24

Upgraded from UE 5.5 to 5.7, nothing to worry about, this shouldn’t negatively affect performance.

Turned on compute skin cache which offloads some cpu work onto the gpu, this’ll result in slightly lower base fps but a huge increase in fps with many skeletal meshes being rendered (such as zombies), which is most of the game anyway. 

Separated normal field of view and first person field of view and increased the max FOV to 150, essentially this means that increasing FOV will make your gun appear farther away, just like it does in cod.

Completely redid and organised weapon structs, making it easier to add new weapons for myself and modders

Overhauled recoil which smoothly interps rather than snapping, being fps independent and far more tunable. When firing stops, aim point will be returned back to where it was.

Reworked character movement settings to give moving around a more arcadey feel

Added an invert pitch axis to the controls for accessibility

Tons more

[ VISUALS ]

Redone lighting on Nacht which looks almost 1:1 and performs better

Improved camos as explained above

Improved base shading on everything

Hacked in a new BRDF which is almost identical to black ops 2’s. BRDF defines how light reflects off surfaces. New BRDF looks better and lessens that ‘unreal look’

Massively improved shading on WAW weapons, making them look arguably even better than they do in game, since I’m using unused higher quality textures alongside missing normal maps from world at wars mod tools, and utilising detail maps on weapons

Improved sounds on a ton of weapons

Adding missing anims to older weapons such as reload empty’s, first raises and separate ads/hipfire anims.

Added inspects to all weapons that have them, including empty inspects (binded to T by default, can be changed)

Added separate hipfire/ADS firing sounds

Reworked recoil also improves visual recoil

Added proper shell ejects that change depending on the caliber of the weapon

Updated bullet spread to be more in line with crosshair size

Alongside these new weapons, a ton of older weapons have been reprised and improved with better shading, sounds, animations and more.

Most notably all WAW guns being given sprint bobs (WAW did not have sprint anims, they manually moved the arms around with code to simulate sprinting)

Ton of old guns being fixed, given first raises, reload empty’s and separate ADS/hipfire anims and fire sounds. Ongoing process though, theres maybe 50 weapons left needing redone.

And again, every singular weapon including these new weapons, and wonder weapons are available in the loadout menu. You can freely choose a pistol if you want, or pick a better weapon and even increase the starting round if you want
