sweet.

:ahhh:

New first person combat trailer uploading to youtube now. Will post as soon as it's done. It's really just an arena fight, but I'm delighted with how well it's turned out - even if I am absolutely appalling at fighting in first person mode (actually i'm pretty rubbish at playing computer games generally which is probably why I end up modding instead of playing...)

Anyway, some notes:

Right - new trailer showing first person stuff is up on youtube:

See my last post for details...

Hope you enjoy it. I'm very happy indeed

N.B. oh and there's a slight bug with the decap at the end. The neck is supposed to be plugged not see through. I need to force the armour to show amulets (which is how the plug is handles) on decapping someone. Easy enough to fix but I only noticed it at the end and didn't feel like going through all that again...

Very nice. That fight is what I imagine all arena fights should be like.

I loved how you beheaded here at the end...very muslimish!

in case you're in Germany you can download the first person railer from here:

Please don't use this link if you're outside Germany - i'd rather not hammer janet. It's only here because I forgot about the german rules concerning music on youtube...

Woah, at 4:10 did that girl just pull a dagger out of her eye and equip it?

Yup, she did... that was awesome haha

excuse me while i pick my jaw up off the floor!!!!!

that is awsome!!!! this is how i wish the first UV played... man hex u are good and i didnt even realize she pulled the dagger out of her head and used it that was freaking awsome!!!! i wish beth would hire u to help make TES:V
:bowdown:

Awesome vid HeX, can't wait (as usual)

I'd dearly love to say that i'd though of that and it was intentional, but it's actually just a consequence of the look of the stagger animation, the fact it was a headshot, the fact she was unarmed and the fact that smaller thrown weapons get added to the target's inventory (the same way arrows do when you shoot them) while larger ones just bounce off. The visual effect though is exactly what you described, which is fun

Of course it doesn't look so good if you hit her in the foot

N.B. the cut off point for the weight of the weapons that get added to targets' inventories is configurable in the INI

sounds good you should make a deal with bethesda and make some money for your skill.

Great looking trailers, HeX_0ff :foodndrink:

I have always thought the attacks and movements in Oblivion was a little to fast, and with all the new moves in UV 2, I was wondering about your thoughts of implementing a bullet time system in UV 2.
When entering combat both you`re and the NPCs attacks and movements would slow down a little.

Keep up the amazing work :icecream:

There already is one in UVII (in fact it's shown at the end of the FP trailer). I forgot to include it in the main trailer. Basically hold your UV modifier (no called the UV action key) and tap the UV attack button and you'll get some bullet time. (you can define the speed in the INI) the amount you get is a multiplier of your willpower (also defined in the INI) but it will end after you make a move. I'll probably include another INI option to allow it to continue after a move if you so desire. However maybe not, because bullet time increases significantly the chance of making a critical hit (it's designed really for pulling off groovy finishers).

It's designed to feel a bit like skycaptain's automated one from DR - indeed it even gives you the same heartbeat sound.

I like the first person camera. I always felt that Oblivion's is far too... well I dont have a proper word for it. This does look better. Now the third person camera on my setup is the old wonky oblivion camera. Does UVII improve upon that?

And it seems the race is on between the UVII and DR6 releases. I anticipate both mods eagerly.

Yeah, there's an (optional) tightening up of the third person camera to make it behave like a chase camera, which make it much easier to play in third person.



Well both mods depend on the release of NifSE so that may be the determining factor, though I also need OBSE19. Otherwise i'm just about ready to go - just a few odds and ends to iron out, and I suspect skycaptain is in a similar position, though I daresay we'll both have a few post-release bugs to deal with, not to mention ensuring compatibility...

....and people who don't read the readme..... :facepalm:

Now UV and DR have some similar features:
Decapitation, kick, amputation, slowmotion.
This can cause some incompatibility.

Why you and SC don't merge UV and DR to make an unique big mod?

There won't be any incompatability with them......


I've got a question about climbing. I noticed in the trailer you were climbing the outer city walls to get into the city. I take you have to have OpenCities for this? I don't use OpenCities so how would that affect me?

ud probably just fall into the "mock" city and have to climb back out.... that is if u dont fall through the world :brokencomputer:

Are the training sessions restricted by stats such as Weapon Skill, Strength or Agility? Or does the player just need enough coin to learn the new moves? This mod has my curiosity raised a bit.

There won't be any compatibility problems. They'll work just fine side by side.



That's not going to happen. SC an I like to do things our own way. Plus modding's all about variety and choices. We may do some similar things, but our mods have very a different ethos.



The climbing will work just fine without it, but obviously you won't be able to enter a city that way without it. Of course there are plenty of other places you can and will want to climb.



The standard simple and power attacks come free for each weapon types. After that you have to "buy" moves for left/right backwards and forwards power attacks. You need a weaponskill of 50 to buy the left/right 75 for the backwards and 100 for the forwards - so they're like purchasable skill perks I suppose. Of course you'll need to buy them seperaely for different weapon types: blade 1h, blunt 1h, Blade 2h, Blunt 2h etc.

I don't know if this was discussd but is it possible to make the thrown weapons go faster? Like choose the speed in the INI.

Prediction: Open Cities' takeup will soon increase exponentially, as never before.

Yes people, this is how to be a successful prophet - simply reel off the dead certs.
