Berserk: Rebirth - Radial Active Skill Menu Sionfel 2023-05-31 | A camera-controlled radial menu to allow the player to rapidly select from 4 equipped skills, with sensitivity options as well as options to invert both vertical or horizontal controls.You will be able to equip skills on a per-weapon-type basis, so you will have different skill loadouts for 1h, 2h, polearms, unarmed, throwing weapons, bows, crossbows and firearms. Technically allowing you to equip 20 different active skills at a time.
Berserk Auto-Crossbow Sionfel 2023-04-20 | Placeholder animations currently, but I've roughed in Guts' offhand auto-crossbow with a slight zoom when in use. Much easier to kill large swaths of enemies when you can rapidly swap between a machinegun attached to your arm and a gigantic sword in the other hand.
Revenge of the Berserk: Rebirth Warband Mod 1.020 Preview Sionfel 2023-02-10 | Showing some tweaks for the 1.020 update to RotB:RWhich has released: moddb.com/mods/rebirth-of-the-berserk/downloads/berserk-rebirth-1020New Meshes for Hero Items, with some all new Hero Items.New 2H weapon carry animations (Thanks Aron!)Killing Townspeople will anger the guards and lower your relations with the town. Harming Women and Children lower relations especially harshly.Multihit attacks have a CLANG sound effect attached, volume controlled by the player.When using Guts' Swords, you can deflect missiles, with good enough timing you will even bounce the missiles in the direction you're looking.
Warband: Deadeye, Here we go again! Sionfel 2022-10-17 | Now, with cast_ray_agents I can target precise locations on the enemy we want to mark!As is, it targets the position where you marked, so when they move you're targeting where they were, not where they are. I need to be changed to the offset of the root bone so you can more accurately hit moving targets. I don't think I would be capable of prediction so using missiles will always have some degree of inaccuracy.
Warband WSE2 1.0.8.0: cast_ray_agents Demonstration Sionfel 2022-10-17 | This demo is pretty simple, use rays to determine what percentage of the agent is occluded from the point of impact of the explosion and adjust the damage, allowing cover to be much more viable. Obviously, this can have issues, such as the singular pillar in the bar saving that troop from the rays, but, it's a much cooler solution than just typical range checks.Additionally, this did not strictly need to check the collisions against the agent, just the props. But, by determining the collisions, we can get a more accurate idea of the visibility.With this particular operation we can do things like hit-scan weapons, or clicking on agents within a presentation to select them.
Fate/ Throne of Heroes Firearms Gameplay Sionfel 2022-06-17 | 13 or so minutes of gameplay featuring the different firearms types featured in F/ToH mod for Mount&Blade Warband.Loading: 00:00New Theme: 00:20FN FAL: 01:35Guns Merchant: 02:05Rifles in Sargoth: 03:40Rifles v.

Warband Retroreflection Shader Sionfel 2022-05-26 | Street signs, cat eyes (corner reflectors, not animals), high vis equipment, all have an effect called retroreflection. This is where light is reflected nearly exactly back to the source. So, the closer in angle the viewers eye vector and the light's cast vector, the brighter a retroreflective surface should appear. I don't think I did it correctly, but by taking the dot function of the eye and the surface normal, and then the dot function of the light direction and the surface normal, and multiplying them together, you can get this effect pretty cheaply. Multiply this by a masking map and, voila, retroreflection patterns!
Fate/ Spectator Camera Test Sionfel 2022-05-12 | After talking about something totally unrelated, I finally realized how to get this dumb 1v1 Fighting Game spectator camera working. This was one of the very first scripts I wrote for the mod. The first 3 years, turning it on would just helicopter your camera around until eventually you passed out from exhaustion. This is just a quick test, I will [eventually] go back and add collision checks to keep the camera above the ground and outside of props.Also, please forgive the audio. I test with Sounds and Music off. . . so. . . .Youtube's royalty free sound library it is!Artoria totally loses goes ape for a second and wails on Lancelot while he just sits there, like a total gentleman, and takes it.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan (Warband WSE2 Remake) Force Throw and Ledge Climb Sionfel 2022-05-02 | Added collision checks for the thrown lightsaber, ensuring you cannot just merc dudes through walls anymore, though it will still fly the shortest path to your hand on return, ignoring collisions. The original game allowed it to get caught on its flight back, that doesn't seem too fun.Additionally, there is now a ledge climbing mechanic, allowing Obi-Wan to clamber up to higher surfaces. There are no animations as of yet, and it's still super buggy (as you can see), but I think it's getting there!
Star Wars: Obi-Wan (Warband WSE2 Remake) Force Powers Demonstration Sionfel 2022-04-28 | Listen. Obi-Wan on the original Xbox burrowed into my brain and laid its eggs.They're hatching.Also, this dude looks like the Eric Matthews and Jack Hunter from Boy Meets World got mashed together by a hydraulic press.
Fate/ Throne of Heroes: Minigun Animation Testing Sionfel 2022-03-28 | Alternatively titled, "All the Advantage in the World Means Nothing in the Face of a Lucky Shot!"The firing audio is literally me saying "Pew!" into my microphone.
Reflect Missiles on Block Sionfel 2022-03-19 | If an agent blocks a missile, and has been blocking for less than 0.5 seconds, they will reflect the missile to where ever they are looking.Art assets are from the current build of Fate, though are only for the indev build and will not be included in the next public build.

Time Alter Test: Fate/ Throne of Heroes in WSE2 Sionfel 2022-02-21 | A quick port of Fate/ to WSE2 to use a new feature! Per Agent Time Scale! It's so fun, it's criminal. Clearly my port has issues, but, I'm sold. WSE2 is the future of Warband.
Fate/ Throne of Heroes: Rho Aias, First Pass Sionfel 2022-02-17 | Currently EMIYA, when at over 20% Health, can use 75% mana to conjure Rho Aias: The Seven Rings that Cover the Burning Heavens. This will throw out a blossom in front of him that will act as a barrier for all incoming ranged attacks, and well as physically block enemies from advancing.Right now the bloom is vertex animated to open, but I think I will have the prop track EMIYA's position and allow him to cast it a second time to put it away. Costing a (comparatively) small amount of mana to start up and then further mana per hit until breaking.Obviously there will be a lot more polish such as a particle burst as it opens and other things, but as is, I'm pretty happy!Shirou (HF) can also cast a weaker version with 4 petals, and when EMIYA is below 20% health, This spell slot goes to summoning Caliburn which will cost his life to use, but allow for a massive final attack.
Eye of the Mind / Minds Eye Dodge Mechanic Rough-in Sionfel 2022-02-15 | The debug messages say "Dodge x Attacks" but really it should be "Dodge Attacks for x Seconds". Every attack dodged currently removes 1 second from the timer, though dodging all attacks for 5 seconds might be more satisfying and more easily understood than 5 seconds or 5 attacks, whichever is first.Ideally the character would play a dodge animation to their new location so it's not as jarring. Like a bob and weave animation as they move leaving behind little shadows like they do currently.
Fate/ Throne of Heroes, Spell Book Presentation Sionfel 2021-11-16 | To prepare for Alpha 0002, I've been hard at work on this presentation for spell selections.It's still preeeeety rough. But it works! (at least for elemental spells)A player can equip 4 spells at a time, and will eventually only be allowed to select spells they either know, have a mystic code equipped for, or have etched in their magic crests.The Native factions each specialize in a different Elemental and Specialist School of Magecraft, allowing the player to learn new spells from Court Maguses.
Dodge Afterimages Sionfel 2021-10-07 | Testing a feature to allow players to better track a target after have dodged, essentially leaving afterimages so characters don't look to have teleported to their new location.

Wall Climbing in Warband Sionfel 2021-07-28 | A quick, 15 minute experiment before heading out for the day. Pretty fun for a quick rough-in job tied to an awkward key press.Lots of bugs are still present, and obviously I haven't done any animation work for it, but I think the best way to alter it would be to make climbable planes and add a check to insure you are in front of that, opposed to being able to climb any vertical surface.
Fate/ Throne of Heroes, Unlimited Blade Works Test Sionfel 2021-06-28 | Testing some polish for UBW and Reality Marbles in general.Fade in / Fade out, swords flying at the enemy, etc.I do intent to do an art pass for the gears, and have Archer's theme playing, etc.
Fate/ Throne of Heroes, Shotgun Test Sionfel 2021-06-16 | Need a quick way to OBLITERATE your foes? I think I know a guy. . .
Fate/ Throne of Heroes, Firearms Recoil System Sionfel 2021-06-15 | Your character will now lose accuracy as you shoot, with each gun featuring a different minimum spread, maximum spread, spread gain per shot, and accuracy regained per second to further add variety. Thing like sniper rifles will have basically pinpoint accuracy on first shot, but gain a ton of spread after that initial shot, but regain their aim quickly, while things like automatic rifles will feature a larger minimum spread, but gain less spread per shot.I also show how to setting spells works in the overworld, as well as how basic spells look in game.
Fate/ Firearms System, Hit Location Marking Sionfel 2021-05-29 | To show players where they are hitting at a distance, to help them adjust their aim, I'm doing a particle system where more particles show based on the distance away from the Shooter. I may also do a hit marker system ala Battlefield or Call of Duty to help judge when a hit is scored.
Warband Bloodmap Shader Test Sionfel 2021-03-29 | A video for the Warband HLSL exchange thread, showing how to use the vertex color blood as a mask for a bloodied texture, allowing for a more realistic, more visually pleasing way to show blood on the characters.Post can be found here:forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/warband-hlsl-shader-exchange.430779/post-9621094

Lancelot, For Someones Glory Sionfel 2021-03-29 | or how I learned to stop worrying about Arrrrrrrthurrrr and love turning into other people.Basically Lancelot can change his form to that of any other servant, I have it randomized currently, so there are something like ten or so placeholder servants without equipment, but this is probably the most accidentally funny thing I've made in a while.
Noble Phantasm Targeting in RTS style camera with an Area of Effect Visualizer Sionfel 2021-03-29 | No art assets are in yet, but after three hours this is finally looking pretty solid.Ideally, upon choosing a NP magic attack, you will go into this selection menu and you get to choose where the attack hits, as well as the range.It will only be available during outdoor fights.
Fog Sionfel 2021-03-29 | updated fog maths to allow it to collect at lower areas at a much accelerated rate
cast_ray rotational experiment Sionfel 2021-03-29 | The item being spawned is aligned on the z-axis, and we are seeing the backside of the spear, this probably means that -Z is Up/Out, Y is parallel to the surface, and X is perpendicular along the surface. Rotate on the X axis 90 (or possibly -90) to align with the standard BRF coordinates.
Script debugging in the most obvious way. Sionfel 2021-03-29 | Testing the lookat script by making a dome of death button.
Shader Preview Sionfel 2021-03-29 | Uploaded Oct 29, 2020A shader I will later be making a video demonstrating how to make. The reason I am using this bizarre shader for the tutorial is:1. No lighting applied in shader2. Using texture channels as a way to store information unrelated to color.3. Using Vertex color as the primary color source.4. Using the time_var global to create interesting effects.It's also a pretty darn simple shader.
VSCode MBScript Extension Sionfel 2021-03-29 | Uploaded Aug 6th, 2020Snippets, Syntax Highlighting, Code Completion, etcAn abandoned project as I don't really use VSCode for Warband modding in the first place, and I couldn't really wrap my head around how to define a language's syntax.
