Does /vm/ play Barotrauma?

>>1727604 (OP)
When it updates, but where are the updates???

>>1727604 (OP)
I play it a lot.
>>1727605
There aren't going to be any big updates soon, they are making a DLC.

I can host a game this weekend if anyone's interested. Thoughts on baroverhaul?

>>1729204
I would recommend Dynamic Europa alongside it, unless you are going for something more vanilla. I could also host some sub traitors with the traitor mod if anyone is interested.

>>1729430
I setup a server. Right now it's on a normal campaign.
Here's are the biggest mods in it.

Baroverhaul
Neurotrauma + Extensions
Dynamic Europa
Vanilla Weapons Overhaul
Barotraumatic + Creature pack
Community curated sub pack

Plus some other bug fixes and QoL stuff.
Client side lua is required.
134.195.91.77

If I have some time this weekend I'll try to organize a game.

>>1729476
neurotrauma sucks

>>1729487
what's wrong with neurotrauma?

>>1729526
>try's to fix anything thing
>dies as result to infection
way too much bloat for a single class
its a mod for the autist medic that cant sit still.
-combat stops being fun
-not compatible with AI
-detriment to every class except medic

>>1729476
I'm personally not a fan of Neurotrauma. By default, a bump in the sub will cause everyone to break or dislocate one of their limbs, and subsequently have a heart attack. Sure, you can fine tune it to not be horrific to play with, but fundamentally I just don't think it is necessary. Otherwise, this is a fairly good list of mods. That being said, I would recommend some flavor mods just to keep things interesting, or mods that enhance a certain playstyle you want to have.

>>1729539
>>1729573
I see. I haven't played neurotrauma yet. My baro group thought it sounded interesting so we were gonna test it out. I can disable it this weekend.

I'm using ADV Beacon Stations instead since it's actively maintained.

Already got it.

>>1729636
I was confusing RIMM with another mod.
I'll look into adding it.

>>1729591
It depends on the feel that you are going for in your campaign, like with the group I play with we have campaigns built around a certain central theme like a traitor campaign with a black market economy, a pirate campaign where we can only trade with pirates, or a scrapper campaign where we try to survive off of scrapping and selling ships. And so we would add mods that fit into the theme and enhance the gameplay. That being said, we play the game a lot so we do that sort of thing to keep the game interesting, so if you and your friends are somewhat newer to the game then a generic modded campaign can be good fun. In which case I would recommend stuff like hazardous reactors (makes dealing with reactors more interesting), hungry europans (adds food and drinks, can either make is necessary to eat and drink or just use it as role play), more level content (see more unique locations), immersive ignitables (Adds stuff you can set on fire), Special jobs/roles, music mods, etc. You can mod the game to play any way you want it to, there are many mods to choose from. I'm a bit tired right now, but if you want more mods let me know tomorrow. Also, make sure you pick a good sub, nothing too overpowered, and appropriate in size for the amount of players.
>>1729636
Make sure you trust who you are playing with, it is very easy to grief with Real Sonar. At the flick of a switch a whole diving crew is dead and everyone has tinnitus.

>>1729742
>hazardous reactors
we tried enhanced reactors. burned through way too much fuel in the early game, engineer got sick quickly even with hazmat suit, and we didn't know what to do with depleted fuel rods that were rapidly filling up shielded storage.
>hungry europans
cool concept but it's still unfinished, only works with vanilla creatures, and requires custom subs for a kitchen. it needs a remake.

got the rest of those mods already. using vanilla and community curated subs for now until we get bored of those.

>>1729976
Can't say I ever had those problems with hazardous reactors, not sure that I've ever played with enhanced reactors. In hazardous you just have to keep an eye on the reactor's repair level, if it gets too low it will start leaking radiation, and then when the fuel is out you put it into a rod storage and eventually dump the rod outside the sub. Fair enough with hungry europans, the guy that hosted our campaigns had to go through some effort to custom design subs in order to fit in a kitchen, was fun though.

>>1730500
I could live with the other problems if the reactor didn't need 4 rods minimum to run. That's just too much early game. Enhanced reactors has compatibility patches for all the other mods we're using so it was the obvious choice.

>>1730518
Yeah that's a bit odd, seems like that is an odd choice exclusive to enhanced reactors. I'm pretty sure that hazardous reactors would work with that mod list, but then again I wasn't the one hosting campaigns so I don't know. And I get if you and your friends are a bit put off after playing with, what sounds to me like, a garbage mod.

Baro game 6 hours from now?
134.195.91.77

>>1730636
Don't imagine I can tonight, sorry.

>>1730636
might be a few minutes late

recent update broke some things.
updating now.

>>1730636
Are you still hosting?

waiting for server to reboot then we're starting

>>1730908
Yeah, I just didn't refresh, thanks.

reminder you'll need client side lua installed

having trouble joining?
I can turn off a mod if it's causing problems.

>>1730918
The Complete Global Darkness Reboot mod is stuck at 0/0 bytes when trying to download it from the server. I tried subscribing and unsubscribing on the workshop and it didn't change anything.

>>1730925
did you subscribe to the original or updated version? my server is using this one.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3466503827

Also, what version of lua do you guys have?

>>1730928
revision 64faf5c967 1.0.103
should be the latest from github
these are my settings
have you tried the install_cl_lua method?

want me to just turn off global darkness?

>>1730932
Nah, that mod works now. Now it's the glower one doing it. Restarted Steam, going to try again.

>>1730933
steam has been causing trouble for me all day
steamcmd not working and workshop was down earlier

>>1730934
Yeah I don't know what's up with it dude. Don't usually have these problems, my game just crashed trying to join the server.

>>1730937
any mod specifically causing problems?
if you subscribed to everything I can give you my xml mod list and you can try that.

>>1730938
I don't think it's the mods, Verified my files. I will redownload lua if I have to.

>>1730942
take your time
still waiting for some friends to join

>>1730942
friend had trouble with the same mods you did.
he resubscribed to them and they worked after that.

>>1730960
Yeah, they worked fine for me after that too, except my game keeps crashing when trying to join.

>>1730961
The Lua text showing up fine in the top left corner?

>>1730967
Yeah, did cl_reloadluacs to make sure it was working, which it does seem to be. Was looking through the crash folder and the only problem I can see is soundproof walls throwing a lot of exceptions.

>>1730977
not seeing any errors in the server or client logs.
resubscribe to soundproof walls maybe?

>>1730979
Yeah I'll try that.

>>1730981
This might be nothing, but could you go to Steam -> Settings -> In Game and at the bottom make Steam Networking: Always.

>>1730988
Yeah I don't think this is going to work, and I have to get some sleep. Thanks for trying to help me out, night.

>>1730992
thanks for trying. I don't think it's anything with the server 3 others have joined without issues so idk.

we got pretty far into the first biome

How many of you enjoy the sub editor?

bump
anyone up for another campaign?

>>1727604 (OP)
does everybody still move like a wiggly worm?

>>1727604 (OP)
Played it years ago and had fun, but it kind of runs like ass the more you mod and play in a file.
Heard they gutted their storage system because they couldn't optimize the shear amount of bins you need for the stuff you collect through missions.
Not really interested in trying it again, but it was an enjoyable game.

Always wished they added rotation as a factor in their steering and ideally buoyancy, but the game ran bad enough as is and probably was just too locked in on their old code.

>>1753697
Years ago, stack limit was 8 per slot. Now it was increased to 32 for cabinets (characters are still limited to 8 per stuff in most cases).
Unfortunately, this did not solve the issue imo. Now instead of needing an unreasonable amount of boxes lying around, you only need a huge amount.
You can always mod something in to solve the storage issue. From a larger stack size per slot to being able to craft more cabinets in a fabricator.
Also, yes: The optimization issues were and still are an issue.

In spite of all of this, it is a fun game ngl

>most hardworking assistant

Anyone want to play baro two hours from now?

>>1766783
I'd be interested but I'm also probably gonna be busy. Just stating my interest for if a campaign does kick back up again.

Before you would normally put suitcases in the cabinet, items inside the suitcases, and each slot in the cabinet would be occupied with suitcases. Nowadays they limited the amount of suitcase. slots to 5 for a large cabinet, and 3 for a medium. In return, the items now stacking from 8 to 32.

>>1766783
Tonight again?

any games today?

Man, they're gonna lean into that SS13 autism that people have been trying to get going, huh

>>1790110
about time

If I don't know how to play at all, will you guys bully me until I have no choice but to commit suicide?

>>1790300
Baro people are usually supe chill. The goal isn't to troll your mates

>Base building
So I can make a camp and relax while my team die like retards for make the ship explode again?

>Base building
I wonder how will that work. Will you buy individual rooms and make a Frankenstein like the current outpost generation? Or will they be a static hull which you can upgrade like the submarines?
How will the missions work? My guess is that you will be the one offering missions to get resources and attract submarines to trade once they dock.
>Gardening and Cybernetics
Hopefully these are integrated to already existing classes. I don't see how you can justify an entire class around gardening and simultaneously gate clowning inside a single talent tree (while cultists have mod their way in)
Cybernetics has the potential to be its own class, but I think it can work well enough inside a medic, mechanic or engineer talent tree. Hell, maybe the 3 of those could have a talent tree that approach cybernetics in their own unique way

>>1729526
Nothing.

>>1729539
>try's to fix anything thing
>dies as result to infection
Skill issue.

>>1793094
>Will you buy individual rooms and make a Frankenstein like the current outpost generation?
yeah you drop prefab rooms around like fallout shelter, there's footage up on the store page
if I'm being honest it looks kind of barebones

So what is the draw of this game? Is it just "haha funni moment yootoob" or is there actual meat to the gameplay?

>>1796486
You man a submarine that must go from point A to point B while doing a certain mission along the way
In order for the submarine to carry on its task, every man must have clear roles. Navigation, Energy Control, Maintenance, Reloading Weapons, Gunnery, Medical checkups, etc... All of them should be covered.
The reality is that people (specially at the start) don't know anything and things go south really fast. Overcoming such hardships despite not being prepared for the unknown is what makes this game great. Any player will tell you that their best experience was that time when X thing went terribly wrong, but they managed to get to the end by sheer willpower and brothership.
The "funny moment yootoob" is part of the game in the sense that someone will either make a mistake or someone will sabotage something on purpose, creating the chaos which make the good stories.
Ngl, this game requires a special kind of autism to be enjoyed. And a group that shares the same strain of 'tism. If you have the traits and get such a group, you're going to have a good time. Otherwise, it will be just a meh or okay experience

>>1796844
>Any player will tell you that their best experience was that time when X thing went terribly wrong, but they managed to get to the end by sheer willpower and brothership.
I did campaign with some friends. We generally work really well together, but we do fuck up sometimes. At one point, our engineer was just mass-crafting nuke shells, which we used on basically anything bigger than a crawler. Several times, the weapons officer just shot without thinking or missed and detonated the nuke point blank, vaporizing like half the boat. Recovering from those was fuckin great.
