Upgrade Trees
(view original)
Post a comment
Y'all have asked for this, so here is a new set of upgrade trees, still wip, but it's a good wip.
What you see above is four different guns with four different upgrade trees, a pistol, a sniper rifle, a pump action shotgun, and an assault rifle. For now most similar guns use the same tree set, but this will be changed depending on the gun's sub category type. Revolvers and mag fed pistols will have different trees, tube fed shotguns and mag fed shotguns with different tree set for each, etc. The plan is to use different upgrade trees whenever is possible while maintaining a reasonable approach which will be explained in the following part.
What I think to be a reasonable aproach is that most similar guns should use the same upgrade tree rather than what it used to be in vanilla. Vanilla CoP as well as MISERY had a tree for USP, a tree for COLT, a tree for Makarov, etc. The reason why I think one tree for similar guns is good is due to one simple reason; all technicians use the exact same tools for upgrading your guns, so why would their upgrades be different from one gun to another? even those custom and modern guns seem to be a burden now that I think about it, surely some modern and customised variants will be upgraded differently but nothing too serious, only old, rusted, and worn guns will use different trees reflecting their condition.
Let me know what you guys think as this is critical to develop and we can't afford reworking everything when all is done.
i looks fantastic!, but have you thinked about use custom icons on the top of the upgrade tree? like vanilla one? if you want i can help you to make shots of the 3d models of the guns
Current icon looks much better and general, doing the vanilla approach means each gun needs its own unique upgrade tree, just like vanilla, and that defeats the whole purpose of what I wrote above :p
That being said, I might thinker of something general to put on top, but it's a very small chance to actually go through with it.
coresponding to vanilla tree will we be able to perform very specific upgrades such as scope zoom factor change, ammo caliber change, full auto upgrade, burst upgrade etc?
also, i think that some upgrades should have some pros and cons: for example "heavy barrel mod" significantly increase accuracy and durability but have negative impact on weapon weight and recoil etc
note: something should be done with sniper rifles cause after playing just over 50hrs, there absolutely no point of getting bolt action rifle over semi auto cause mostly in misery, weather does not allow to shoot over large distances and their accuracy does not matter in distances lets say to 200meters
Bolt action rifles already come with a significantly powerful feature compared to all mag fed sniper rifles, it's reliability, and it's world wide known fact. Besides, it's always a matter of preference, I personally like bolt actions over semi auto, my all time go-to rifle is the R700 even if I have an SKS, SR25, SVD, or any other similar sniper. Same goes for handguns, I prefer revolvers over mag fed pistols.
Zoom change through upgrade may and may not get used, this will be decided later. As for pros and cons, they are already in there, same as you mentioned and with the extra option where you can't apply all upgrades. I don't know how well you know MISERY but if you check the above image you'll notice two lines beside each upgrade, green and red. Green is the applied upgrade and red is the unavailable one, meaning you can only apply one of the two options in the second rank, not both.
also, does the upcoming update will require new game to work properly?
For now it doesn't, but that may change if needed.
So, do you still have plans to fix this mod for Misery? I am playing on lowest settings and with static light + switch distance 200 and I am still getting crashes when it's firefight or lots of mutants. Sometimes without reason. I am playing on intel core i3 3,4 GHz, GTX 650 2GB and 8GB RAM. Also, I don't know if anyone else has noticide, but when I save my game in console there are weird lines in console like: ERROR Children : Parent wasn't found, SAVE XXX cannot be located etc. etc. Please take a look into this. Vanilla Misery works just fine for me.
Played the armed zone for a while,
Maybe you can diversify the upgrade tree through stats a bit for each gun category? There are a lot of guns in this mod but shooting some of them feels a bit same from the same gun category
(ex: assault rifles, ak, mag based handguns)
taz has a LOT of guns and i know its lot of work completing this mod but maybe you can make the guns feels different through upgrade tree stats since it's easier this way
Just my opinion though, Hopefully you can get some inspiration from this
Thx for creating this mod by the way, :D
Everything is possible, can't say what will be done since the options are vastly huge and time costing.
good stuff :)
I just realised that recoil upgrades for assalt rifles on first rank is +10, on second rank are +10 and -50 and in the third rank -10. I tried diferent combinations on similar rifles, the gun whith +20 recoil seems to kick less than the -60 recoil. (i don't know if its on purpose)You can tune the amount of recoil that way, you can have +10,+20 up to -40,-50,-60, i guess that is the idea, no? Cheers
dunno really, upgrades are still from vanilla MISERY, but with some changes, and these changes are also from vanilla. I basically did nothing new from my side. I will see about this later.
Any news on upcoming additions/remodels? Hoping to see more variants of VHS soon :)
sometimes we meet some bandits use gun are bug,if kill them,game crash,please fix this
Would weapons with already fully upgraded trees be compatible with new patch?
