O.Languedoc 67 Posted July 3, 2016 GREAT JOB! :) You need a Rope object to do this. and its One time use if you cant go un-hook it at the top. Imagine if you could hook then aim and throw the rope so its permanent. Then A full unit can use that same rope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xxgetbuck123 945 Posted July 3, 2016 I don't know how the fuck you do it, but keep it up mate! Also surprised all your advanced rope mods aren't incorporated into ACE yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duda123 1341 Posted July 3, 2016 I don't know how the fuck you do it, but keep it up mate! Also surprised all your advanced rope mods aren't incorporated into ACE yet. I don't mind them being separate. I've designed them so the server owner can easily pick and choose which features they want installed. I'll be doing the same for rappelling from structures - separate server-side addon - so you can choose the type of rappelling you want supported on your server. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ceolnariazz 39 Posted July 3, 2016 totally love it - but would it be possible to put jump animations in for a fast rappel on a flat surface like a building ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duda123 1341 Posted July 4, 2016 Demo of this is live on my group's server! 66.55.158.30 Port: 2302 Please try it out if you have time! No mods required to join the server. Here's how it works: If you stand on the edge of any ledge more than 3-4m high, you'll get an action "Rappel Self". Once rappelling, press the "move backwards" key to go down the rope. If you press move forward, you'll move slowly back up the rope. You can press the space bar to push away from the wall. Holding the space bar down will make you push off more. Also you can rappel through broken windows (into the building or out of the building), assuming the window is large enough. Let me know how it goes! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ceeeb 147 Posted July 4, 2016 I understand this is work in progress, but the swings shown in the second half of this video are pretty far removed from reality. The limit of force a user can apply across the vertical surface is very low (low perpendicular force against the surface == low grip). This means it is impossible to quickly accelerate across the surface, or statically resist gravity pulling you back toward vertical. Big swings need to be built up by running back and forth across the face. The longer the rope above the user, the lower the grip force against the surface (assuming vertical surface), but the smaller the vertical component of any horizontal movement (it's just angles). Here are some real life examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y-47-SWz8U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFde4MYWBMY Other than that, really nice work :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You won't actually be able to get the ropes swinging like that :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

section 20 458 Posted July 5, 2016 That looks pretty damn cool :) With this and Bensons enhanced movement you could get in and out of some interesting places :) Why don't you ask @Direone to make you an abseiling pose? It's looks like a pretty static pose and he could fashion you up something nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosmic10r 2331 Posted July 5, 2016 ok... just imagine... an inverted pose for rappelling from direone... advanced building rappelling... EM ... and it configured for FFV... that may take a proxy configured as a vehicle with a pos with the inverted Pose rappelling down a building being able to fire into windows.... drop the mic... leave the room... lol... totally a dream... but could you imagine... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cryofrost 11 Posted July 5, 2016 duda the rope specialist, is at it again, this is gonna be good. something just crossed my mind, now that you are working on actual rappelling, are you gonna rename advanced rappelling, into i guess advanced fastroping, or is this gonna be apart of advanced rappelling in the future?

ceolnariazz 39 Posted July 7, 2016 any ETA on the addon ? my group is looking foward to use it in the APEX campaign ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duda123 1341 Posted July 8, 2016 any ETA on the addon ? my group is looking foward to use it in the APEX campaign ;) Probably this weekend sometime. Working on some custom animations with mcruppert, but those will probably wait until a later release. Still working on two things: 1. Supporting weapons while rappelling (without custom animations) 2. Walking left/right on wall (without swinging back to the middle) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will be separate so people can choose if they want both or just one. It will be called Advanced Urban Rappelling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.Languedoc 67 Posted July 8, 2016 2. Walking left/right on wall (without swinging back to the middle) What makes Advance rapelling so great are the physics of the rope. I am not sure I understand what you mean by the swinging back to the middle. You want to make it like Rainbow Six Siege? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
