Gotham Knights - open world action-RPG where Batman is dead

[Mangoose]

Thats a lie, its because its Batman.

...Except you cannot play as Batman without a mod. Everything I put up can't be done without some modding. (Bruce is just an NPC, all of his suits are meant for those in-engine cutscenes)

It's all about stealth takedowns. It's the shit I love doing in the new Deus Ex, Alpha Brotocol, Hitman (Blood Money).. It's just an excellent way of trolling lol.

pst i brought in the blue + grey as well as black + gray (Jace Fox style, which ihilarious since Lucius is there).

i'm addicted to this shit.

also Zac Snyder's dystopian Batman

Also figured out a way to get the real eyes showing. Note that's actually Jason's texture, if you see the scar:

Made a Banter mod (bc WB fucked that up.. 15% chance reaction from an Perfect Evade and for some reason they filtered any such verbal reactions to only Regs, Freakz, and Mob. I did a bunch of probability modding and so we have this:



I literally have 11 endorsements for this mod, which has only been up for a week. And this is a tiny. I can't seem to get any feedback on whether people want more or less. Weird.

Problem is.. Yesterday's patch broke everything because they stuffed a lot of shit into the *.ucas/*utoc Zen Loader method, which nobody has been able to extract, outside of raw meshes and textures.

Had some heartworming (lol) posts on my mod:

But reverting is pretty straight-forward with Steam Depot. Moreover, most people are reverting our mods that much desired.

 

[KIss My Ass]

Sounds dumb. I would just pick Superman and kill everyone.

Edit

God damn Batwoman is a straight up PAWG. Maybe I will play this.

 

[Mangoose]

That's Batgirl. (I would like to make a Batwoman if I can.. she's pretty badass... on the other hand I picture Babs as Oracle al the time)

However, My Batgirl mods:

And

But actually what's most important/necessary is my Banter mod. They turned down the banter sooo low that it's ridiculous, especially for Nightwing. With my "fixing" (more like Q&A fix):



Also I did this

Anyways, self-update:

I posted my mod on Reddit... because I am totally a Nikolai Tesla and forgot to tell people about it lol. I'm like the only modder and everybody is reverting from WB's new patch bc the new patch blocks access to anything except pure raw files (textures).
Within 10 hours there are like 50+ upvotes. It's at 152 now, within 2 days.

That and when I posted the link, it was think two of my best... (Technically I started modding with 0 experience so it's been a learning experience. I've finally understood how to use Curves and Gaussian Blur in GIMP lol. Also understanding the particle system and their fabric material system (they're tileable normal maps). I've learned about normal maps enough so that I can simply use a normal map on a torso normal map and then just paint a logo on it. That's literally the two below. No separate logo mesh.

I don't really give a shit about popularity (honestly I don't like attention really)... and obv I forgot Reddit exists but holy crap. So that just drew me an even larger army of patch-reverters to help me troll WB. I feel like they may be noticing this. I honestly wonder if they tried shutting down modding because I was speeding up. (In fact I sped up more when the patch came, just to motivate people to not patch)

Funny thing is that when I describe my mods I point out all the stuff that WB fucked up on. I think I told them not to hire me because they're too incompetent (bluffing is fun).

I fucking despise batwoman, she is even more hurtful to the batman mythos than Damian.

 

[Mangoose]

Wow a lot of people are still trying to revert the patch.

That's how crappy the game is... and how we've actually managed to fix a lot of the problems.

In fact I FINALLY figured out how to add physics to the batcape. Literally through editing cooked data tables.. aka dealing with physics/physics packages.. without any GUI/UEditor. Something the post-Dec patches prevent (it prevents cooked asset editing, and thus to "edit" data assets requires recreating them, and also I'd also need to know all the Structs/etc. used to create their data tables)

I'm pretty much learning the Unreal Engine in a backwards manner.

Essentially, the vanilla batcape had none of the featured physics (specifically, collision detection). You'd have the cape clipping through the floor when crouching. There would be no cape physics on the batcycle. Stuff like that.

I'm explaining Unreal Engine mechanics and how the engine works.

And I'm doing that to help others to learn a bit of stuff that could be useful in case they want to develop games.

In case you actually care about games and game development, you know.

So I'm not gonna STOP if I'm posting technical info.

American comics really should've relegated more of its garbage content to non-canon spin-offs instead of cramming some retarded intern's OC into the mainline continuity. There are even traces of Batwoman in Arkham Knight, unfortunately, though they are obscure easy to miss.

Yah I gotta learn how to stop taking stuff personally.

BTW the reason I know texturing is because I started texturing last year... for Space Marine. In essence I was texturing Night Lords. Yup. The source is 40k.

Anyways, I updated my custom bathelm... It actually does play homage to a comics suit so I'm curious if anyone noticed (and still WIP because I've only spent less than a day on it)

I'm using ONLY in-game assets. I haven't even touched meshing because, after working and rigging in 3dsmax.. having to mesh in one program then rig in a separate program is annoying.

 

[Mangoose]

Latest product. Stealing the Batman DLC from Arkham Knight (incidentally it was made by Rocksteady Montreal, and also its textures are really lazy because AK is right now supposed to please Nintendo Switch fans).

This is actually the 2nd time I've extracted and retargeted an entirely different mesh/skeleton.

Edit: WB/Rocksteady's main screenshot for the suit I just ported:




...In other words, Rocksteady seems like its tipping downwards..

 

[Mangoose]

Been getting a lot of practice done so I finished this port in 1~2 weeks:

..And I was doing gameplay mods at the same time as well as another suit. ADHD ftw.

 

[Mangoose]

Apparently the next Arkham Game is VR.

Suicide Squad apparently really terrible and people like GK more.

A lot of people playing AK right but I already got Knightfall protocol and all Riddler trophies, so fuck that.

TBH I'm waiting for Space Mujiheen 2 to be released.

I don't believe I've ever watched or read anything with Batwoman in it, but really don't like the look of her. It's weird to me that Mangoose sees Barbara and can only think of Oracle. Again, I'm not into the comics. Only own a couple of the popular graphic novels. But putting Barbara in a wheel chair in the only video games that we'd have for however many years was a waste of a fun character. Robin and Batgirl should both have been playable in their own full stories starting with the second Arkham game, even if it meant shortening Batman's campaign.

Arkham Knight finally made her playable in a short prequel DLC, but I do not care for her design. At five feet and eleven inches, she is almost the same height as Robin and Nightwing and not that much shorter than Batman. You don't need to read her in-game bio to see that she is pretty tall. It's obvious when she stands next to the criminals. (Curiously, Tim Drake grew two inches between Arkham City and Arkham Knight.) Another detail that would have helped to differentiate Batgirl from Batman and Robin is a shorter cape. Her suit also has too many distracting angles and lines. I can't tell which parts are hard leather and which are plastic or steel.
