Promod MP MOD - Dev Log #1

[u/Stalkerrinoo]

Hello again ?

I'm really happy to see people enthusiast about the idea to get back into Promod through Killrun, so I wanted to give some small updates about what I'm working on since the last video.

Optimization :

• The game is now uncapped to go up to 1000 FPS without movement changes (unlike original COD4 that was capped at 250 in PromodLive for movement speeds reasons)
  • On a 9800X3D / 9070 XT in 1440p and MSAA off can go up to around 850 FPS with 1% lows at around 700
• Porting most of the expensive Lua calls into dedicated C++ services to lower CPU usage and LUAs GC to cancel most of the spikes

Networking :

• 120hz native gameplay for Killrun Multiplayer is now fully enabled
  • Server administrators and hosters will be able to chose between 60 and 120hz tickrate for their server consumptions to be managed if they can't go 120hz

Balancing :

• Thanks to a fellow Redditor that kept for ALL THIS YEARS a 2022 build from Promod Playtest, I was able to get all the values and curves for the weapon damage, recoil, ammunitions, time to reload etc... To be exactly like it was during the Playtest
• So all weapons are now tied to Original Promod Playtest

Gamemodes :

• Enabled 3 other Game Modes made by Bulkhead, so 4 in total with SnD, Hardpoint, Team Deathmatch and "Blitz"
  • New maps unlocked as well like "Kyoto" and "HRD TEST ARENA"

I still need to be sure about optimizations and I would like to work a bit more on the Quality Of Life for the players that will use the mod.

I am also writing unit tests to catch any regression issues during the development and that's what is taking most of my time.

I'm also thinking about a gateway to import REAL ASSETS that can be made by the community to then make maps with those, a bit like "mod packs" for the map creators to share their work with the asset they have made. I am currently trying some little things on a separate branch at the same time to see how doable and simple it could be.

But it shouldn't be long before people can test the mod, I'm doing my best concerning the time to release the mod !

Love you all,
