[QUOTE=SlickBlade;52926216]If it was a simple animation loop I would be pleased.
Example: Left 4 Dead survivors have hundreds upon hundreds of flexes for various tones and sounds in their voice. Very in detail, but not something Diesel would handle.
The infected however, have a small number of looping animations where their mouths move as they breath and groan, or a loop of snarling and yelling gestures. Animations are only like 5 seconds long.
If the heisters had something simple like. A calm idle, eyes look around a little, blinking.
A stern scowl with occasional slight breathing through the mouth, for when guns are out.
That'd be great. Wouldn't hurt to have others like a static pained wince when tased or looping wincing and heavy breathing while downed.[/QUOTE]
As a matter of fact, I remember some older EA games (licensed ones, mostly). The Goblet of Fire had facial animations, but almost no lipsynching from what I saw. We don't need lipsynching in PAYDAY if you ask me.
…If it was enough to just add blinking and looking around with the eyes, I'd be satisfied.
EDIT: Also, the Source engine has a programmed timer for when to trigger the Blink flex.

Not much anymore thanks to Steampipe. HL2 and Episodes no longer have blinking after the Steampipe conversion.
And I don't even think the L4D1 cast (in L4D2) blink because of how badly ported they were.

Why does she look like a fucking Thin Man from X-COM?
But most of the time characters were supposed to wear Masks, and if you're shooting things then i doubt you should be looking at the faces
Just seems to me to not really be worth it in the end
[QUOTE=UberSandvich;52926487]Why does she look like a fucking Thin Man from X-COM?[/QUOTE]
My guess is they modeled Hila with her natural proportions, but then had to rig her to Payday 2's male heister skeleton.
Sydney, Clover and Bonnie are almost tallet than male npcs, and tower over female civvies. They were built with the skeleton in mind and are very large people.
Hila looks like she was not intended for that.
Just like with Salad's Payday ports on the Left 4 Dead 2 Workshop, he ported all of the cast on Bill's animations, and initially ported Clover on Zoey's. Since she is smaller and has more feminine animations than a 60 something war vet with a bad leg and smoker's lung. The model's joints clipped through each other as Clover was built just as tall as any of the males, so Salad had to give her Bill animations. The Payday cast are built large. Hila's model was not.

Funny, because I can see the blinking. Valve didn't think SteamPipe through entirely, didn't they?
I dunno if anyone knows (or cares), but back in October CowChop were sponsored by Starbreeze to make a couple RAID videos, and part of said videos was this, uh, short, compiled by moi for your viewing...pleasure?...

Time to do mod_overrides then, and replace their voices with more tasteful humor. Out with the painful Shreks and YouTube jokes, but do take in the Israeli humor in its place.

It would've been cool to hear some native Hebrew/Arabic variations in her voice lines (not sure which she stemmed from, or if she's been native english all her life) but still would've at least added a bit of flair to her lines.

I feel kind of bad for bashing the pack because it looks like they had a lot of fun doing VA, but I guess I'm more disappointed in the writing.

I'm not pleased over having to complain, but they really sucked and [i]did not[/i] seem to enjoy it. I'd say their stress over having to fly all the way here was part of that issue.
I think these two understand how the non-US people who had to fly all the way to LA feel during that Hype Train event, frustrated and angry.

They only flew here one time, from what I recall, during the initial concept meetings back in May. The VA was recorded remotely at a location close to them.
Aw man, I just found out you can't put a drum mag on the Para, I was totally looking forward to using The Patriot in VR.

I remember using a mod enabling unused weapon mods in the game a long time ago and the Para actually had a drum mag. I can't find it anymore sadly.
Yeah. As I recall, long story short the engine didn't like having more than two reload animations for guns, and they were already using those two for most weapons for partial reloads and empty reloads. So for having guns switch to a drum mag, the old animations didn't work so they needed new ones, but couldn't do that. I think LGL may have actually worked around that for Raid, though I'm not certain. And I vaguely recall a mod that not only enabled the drum mag but got it working with different animations, but I'm pretty sure it was just forcing the game to instead use the animations for the Bootleg which only has the drum. Either way its hilarious how fucking bad the engine is.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;52933597]I think LGL may have actually worked around that for Raid, though I'm not certain.[/QUOTE]
The weapons that can have foregrips used to use the same animation, but yeah nowadays the guns in Raid like the Tommy gun, change the animations to hold by the grips, and still have full/empty reloads
[editline]30th November 2017[/editline]
Dunno if it also changes with the drum mag/the receiver that moves the bolt from the right side to the top

They stopped with the engine limitation excuse a while ago. The main issue is that they didn't code a proper way to swap animations depending on weapon mods and the animators don't want to put resources towards it.
LGL already showed that the engine is perfectly capable of it.

New armor safe, boyyyyyz!
Zdann's armor is pretty cool, it fits the lore of the game unlike many other entries I've seen in the past. Simple and fitting, and it's also the obligatory "Red and black" entry in a safe :P
Invenit0r's armors are damn cool too. The police one being my favorite in the safe.
Dat epic one tho... :disappoint:
I don't see myself wearing almost any of those, except maybe the camo one.
Even better balance changes

The Bus Escape is currently the best pre planning option by far for loud heisting. Lowering the cost of The Elevator Trick and C4 Tunneling Escape would allow the player to take the Thermite as well. Our goal is to make those two other options more competitive with the Bus Escape.

I was hoping for armor or resist tbh... I believe using frenzy maximizes your healing, and I think that sort of makes this upgrade not so great

Damn they gave Sociopath armor when I think he could've used the health instead personally, seeing as hes mainly a self healer. If they switched those around for gambler it'd be 10/10
How did you get armor skins before this?
