Local/Asymmetrical Multiplayer Mod! (LAMBDA) - Modded Take & Hold - H3VR

This is the Local Multiplayer mod made by Arpy, named LAMBDA!

Thanks for making this its own dedicated video! I had a lot of fun playing around with you and I'm glad you liked the mod. I'm looking forwards to making changes and continuing to improve this mod in the weeks to come! Next stop, making sosigs walk down stairs :P

[@devileh]

Freaking amazing work, man.

Its amazing already! Can't wait to give a try myself!

[@demgainz2216]

imagine all of the sosigs being players, like people are in a queue and when a sosig spawns they get put in

[@theclockman775]

like a tarkov scav system?

If this could manage to evolve into actual co-op multiplayer that would be amazing

once again modders leading the game in terms of cool mechanics

[@hungrytiger4208]

Actually it has, H3MP is being developed so that's pretty neat

[@neekap5987]

Haven't played h3vr since 2020, basically before the modding had started, I literally googled this mode just yesterday in hopes that someone was able to create it, and now here it is in my home page.

[@logotho7340]

I just tried this mod with my kid after seeing your vid, it was a lot of fun. We played some Take n Hold and he ended up killing me after a while, then we played some Gun Game (which I finally got working lol) and that was pretty fun too. It works really well but I noticed whenever he'd sprint it would lag the entire game

[@jeditobiwan]

Interesting! Might be some patching wonkiness with the custom map. Arpy, the mod creator, seems to be keeping an eye here, so maybe it'll get looked into!

[@tenaciouslytristan]

We are getting a step closer to a multiplayer h3vr milsim

[@Saplingbat]

Modding for this game is getting absolutely insane, combined with Antons support for both the game, and willingness to help modders, I can see this game being the like new vegas of VR. I'm stoked for it

[@Marshydarshy]

This is a genuine gamechanger, very cool

[@Reviwitha6]

Tbh, this is at least a start since I kinda want to see a multiplayer gamemode on h3vr. Something like 2 player co-op is cool

[@floopygoober]

New game mode idea using this mod, the drone has to complete an obstacle course while the player attempts to shoot it down. Like halo duck hunt for the ogs here :)

[@caramelldansen2204]

fr miss Halo custom games

[@SkeleTonHammer]

Neat. More VR games need asymmetric modes to let people do fun local multiplayer stuff at the actual computer while you're in VR.

[@onerxowns2202]

This gamemode have near unlimited potential for co-op or reverse co-op games

[@Lemon--Boy]

Wait, a multiplayer mod? Holydog, it's simple currently but that is promising. I hope this is a great start to a great modding future, though remembering what Anton said, I am not crossing my fingers for symetrical multiplayer. Still - Big good job on the mod! The next time I'll be showing the game over to my friends I will sure as heck try and scare them with htis.

[@Mightylcanis]

oh I'm definitely hoping for symmetrical multiplayer, even with any difficulties with physics syncing

It would be cool to be co-op gun drone

[@Camera-Guy_ODST]

H3VR is one of the games that needs some kind of built-in multiplayer as do a lot of games I hope Bone labs gets Quest compatible Multiplayer after it comes out I understand incorporating Multiplayer isn't the easiest of things to add in most VR games so it makes sense why a lot of games don't have it

[@alexlokanin3312]

[@Schrodingers_kid]

This is so cool!

[@nukablecherries]

Could you imagine this on a no hit run? That's some meat grinder level of spooky.

[@OrigionalCigarette]

Really neet to see, i hope this is just the seeds that will grow eventually into a propper multiplayer mod. I mean, the character rigs are allready made, its a matter of networking, and patching issues regarding AI combat and PVP.

[@BoopsOG]

That sounds very torturous. Ends up being a game of cat and mouse

[@JumbleDrops]

The way the sosigs are is like a new guy vs level 400 veteran

[@randomguydoes2901]

Much potential in multiplayer :) but honestly with all the good reviews this game has, I think the developer has a huge stick up his ass. Six years and not a thought towards any multiplayer isn't a good look at all. it's 2022. Fucks sake

[@LafingAnarkist]

Anton MUST add the Multiplayer after this! This is awesome!

[@ralphbooger4756]

i doubt that will happen, i once asked Anton if there was any chance of mp in the future as it would be awesome and take the game to a new level... he just got upset about it and called me entitled for asking, was kinda weird, guess im not the first one to ask.

[@somebody7185]

@@ralphbooger4756 Multiplayer has been a whole thing with him. People have asked so much and he always says it's never happening because it'd be impossible to make it work well in a game with so much physics interaction.

[@ohno5507]

@@ralphbooger4756 I've seen Anton be an asshole on the discord a couple times (check the pinned messages in #mods-general for a really bizarre example). I get the feeling he doesn't *really* like interacting with the fanbase. As to why there won't be multiplayer, from what I understand there's no practical way to implement it. There's too many complicated physics simulations going on at once, and syncing all of the necessary stuff just isn't possible. This mod works by having it be locally hosted, while the other player gets remote control of your computer (which is not a good way to do multiplayer, just the only way this mod can achieve it).

[@jeditobiwan]

True multiplayer won't happen for a plethora of reasons - physics calculations and network latency, plus the fact that the game was never built with that in mind. Even LAN mods with two VR players on two machines ran like garbage when people attempted to mod it. This is about as close as we will get.

[@imnotnotroan]

You need to do this on a long range map, imagine just getting hit from no where and not knowing where you’re getting shot from

[@lastwymsi]

You could do some really cool sniper duels with this mod

[@rcv1216]

Could we get a coap version Love the work

this, except you can only use sosiguns and the person controlling the drone decides when to shoot and reload

this would be cool with Rickier Dickier Randomer, since there are pratcically bulletproof, zombies, and other random sosigs

That is a fantastic idea!

[@jfk5731]

Quick question, what is the mod you had at the end that allowed another player to join in VR at minute 26:16?

[@jeditobiwan]

Nope, that is just a redeem i have on twitch that pushes their name above an AI controlled sosig

[@FrankBlaskovich]

Question about the mod, is there any way to get two audio sources? EG the person playing on PC hears their own audio and the person on VR hears their own? Or am I stuck with both of us hearing the same audio?

[@doktormuffin]

Hey Jedi, I've seen a common theme across your TnH videos where you tend to stick to FMJs over blue tips, what's the reason for that?

[@jeditobiwan]

I don't like the performance hit the fire gives me. I drop a ton of frames so I just stick to FMJ

[@doktormuffin]

@@jeditobiwan That makes a lot of sense. I've been wondering for a while and I always tried to find anything about whether blue tips had less penetration or something. Never crossed my mind that it might be a performance preference.

Come to think of it, me either. May have been a change with the new ammo stations.

[@K3nseiii2]

Jedi someone else asked this, but is there any way to make it so that the PC user hears their own audio while the VR user hears theirs? Me and my gf have been playing this but she's on the PC stuck hearing what I'm hearing.

[@jeditobiwan]

No way that im aware of. That would involve some additional work by the mod author, and im not even sure how straightforward a separate audio output for asynchronous multiplayer is in unity.

Question as a sosig can you pick up weapons that the player doesn't use say you roll a shotgun that you don't want can the other player pick it up and use it or is that not a thing yet?

there is a "crazy mode" that arpy is actually using here that lets you possess any item. I dont think you can fire guns, but you'd be able to roll around as one lol. Edit: Arpy has proven me wrong below!

@@jeditobiwan oh i realize i made it sound like you can pick up guns, i meant that you can possess and fire most guns. I've seen people interested in the player being able to use non-sosig guns but i don't think I'll be adding that since it takes away the feeling of being a sosig
