You are the only person I trusted to do this mod justice, and my goodness you made it look amazing. I loved this run not just because of how good it is but because of what it means for the ac community. There is so much more freedom here to be explored, the assassin's brotherhood would be proud

[@animusdrifter]

You have no idea how much I appreciate your trust, and how much that means to me

I watched this video with my mouth agape. This has got to be the coolest AC parkour vid ever made - lore accurate Ezio right here

[@animusdrifter]

Thank you so much

[@jcers]

Great to see that you got over the initial struggles with modded choreo, haha. An excellent showcase for the mod with great flow and great feats without feeling like it’s excessively technical. This mod will go a long way in making complex parkour feel more attainable and doable by the average player without feeling like they need to know all the intricacies of geometry and things of the like.

[@animusdrifter]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it homie, it was pretty challenging getting over those struggles but once you pick the momentum up, it's pretty smooth sailing. What I talked about before is still kind of present, but the way you work around it is founded in how you make your route flow in terms of height gain/loss for most of the features, as there's a bit of a rythm. And indeed, we're finally at a point where the vast majority of what always should have been directly possible finally is. As sad as I am to see the relevance of some old school tech dwindle, it was always an indicator of our idealistic striving to get exactly this, and now we finally have it

Awesome. The skill ceiling has been raised much higher.

[@animusdrifter]

From high to insanely high, these games are the ones who deserved mods the most, not because they needed to get fixed, but because there was so much under the already insanely solid fundamentals that this just taps into

[@calelkestifer3570]

well, the fans have shown Ubisoft exactly what they want at this point. if they mess it up now, it's entirely on them

[@A_10DY]

These Assasins Creed are still beautiful, I feel nostalgic every time I look at it :')Its soundtrack, the atmosphere, no matter how much graphics the current ones have and more realism and improvements, these Assasins Creed are the ones that filled our hearts.

[@animusdrifter]

Absolutely

[@CatCatchCold]

This is just way too good, you showed what this mod really does to the game. I mean its almost feel like real life parkour now( of course not animation or 'realism' wise): full control of movements, limitless creativity, fast decision making constantly required, always need full focus, and anything can go wrong at any moment. NO other game does this, not even the original Ezio games. It takes the best system, best mod and best player combined to achieve this.

That was awesome!! Do you plan on doing that with the AC1 mod as well? I've been unable to figure it out and I think seeing it in action with overlays might help.

[@animusdrifter]

Thank you so much! I've been thinking about hopping onto some AC1, but I'm still mostly focusing on the Ezios for now, on top of just needing a break after this run lol I'm glad the idea of an overlay is also valuable, and I'd love to do it for an AC1 video as well, if I get to it! I also hope this overlay proved itself at least a bit useful

wow. i've just recently started playing this game for the first time and stumbled across your videos. i think once i'm done with the base game i'll give this mod a shot, you've just blown my mind

[@Broox38]

I don't think I've paid proper, well deserved attention to the very quick complexities on display here during my first watch so I'm very glad to revisit it today, I really do adore seeing you now create what used to be dreams for both of us and seems to still remain a dream only for me. And I could swear the mods somehow make your movements even more ASMR like

Unity was too preoccupied with 'realism' in its environments and aesthetic to ever be as enthralling as the earlier games.

@@insultlk For me unity parkour though not consistently fun, have a special feeling of experiencing a 'parkour' personality, for all these flashy and seemingly risky things Arno does on massive height. Animation-wise I really believe AC3-Rouge are most on point.

[@TheRandySmith]

I really like using swing up and jump to hang from beam to beam. It looks a lot less aggressive and realistic to Ezio's moveset than swing up alone in my opinion. Great Vid. I learned a lot!

[@animusdrifter]

Thank you so much (and thank you for caring about grounding)! Also, chaining swings with swing up and force hang is indeed often more grounded! Large height gains still don't always seem right, but chaining swings to similar height objects even with some height gain definitely feels right for Ezio

[@TheRandySmith]

@@animusdrifter Couldn’t agree more. In fact, I’ve bound swing up to “ctrl” (I’m KBM) so he always swings up to hang. Swing up alone always throws me off, very rare when it doesn’t.

Thank you so much, glad you find me funny as well! Also, how do you mean actual gameplay channel?

[@sebastianbelu1417]

@@animusdrifter Well umm yeah didnt thought out that well what I wanted to say. What I meant was that you do mostly cinematic like montages, but you could also try to do more casual gameplay things while having fun with the edits and just goofy stuff ya know, less perfection oriented things. Maybe if you also have friends to play ac unity or even other things could help. On short dumb edits and fun gameplay as you did in that AC Unity vid

Now I dont say that every video needs to be that complete seizure meme type of edited vids cuz they are really time consuming but those are some good examples, now some guys that come to mind is arsenalty, tendo xl, Radal(they do other games but they also do those type of more unhinged edits xD)

[@sethmorton1856]

Damn, how long did it take to internalize the binds? So much going on. Also, how'd you do the overlay?

[@animusdrifter]

Getting used to the binds took a good bit of time (still getting used to processing everything on the fly), but I was also there while testing through various versions, control and bind changes, additions to functionality, and certain behaviors becoming more polished or fully passive, meaning that there was a lot of constant relearning I had to do through all the various testing phases. While that's a bit of a disadvantage, an advantage to that learning curve was that I was essentially pushed into firstly getting used to and good at fewer features in a given timeframe, because newer ones hadn't been added yet. That way you're gradually introduced to everything as it's getting created, instead of having to self limit through the overwhelm of functionality. It flows pretty smoothly once you have the binds down, which is aided by the fact that Henry, alongside my controller testing, engineered them to follow a certain logic we came up with (especially with functions that simply modify existing moves, aka most of them), so it's not all arbitrary. For example, Parkour Down Near is L1, Forced Freeform is L3, so in order to get a jump/eject/swing that has less thrust, therefore ending up in you acquiring a lower trajectory while still wanting to not prescriptively target anything, you combine the two into Freeform Parkour Down (L1 + L3) For the overlay, I extended my recording resolution in OBS to fit the controller overlay on the side, so I can later key it out (or rather make a manual mask for it because video compression made color based keying absolute hell) and choose whether i'm going to use it or leave it out in any clip.

[@sethmorton1856]

​@@animusdrifter thank you very much for the response! How do you position your fingers? I've been messing around with it for the past half hour and it seems like it'll be really difficult to learn. Jumping to hanging (and swinging off) seems like a really important combination for fluid motion, but you have to hold RB for that which I can't do with my normal finger positioning. I have my pointer on the trigger, but to jump and hang I have to move my pointer to the bumper and hit the trigger with my middle finger. Do you just leave your fingers in that kind of position for parkour? Oh, and I was curious where you got the overlay from. What program tracks your controller inputs like that? I appreciate the insight into the OBS setup though :)

[@animusdrifter]

@@sethmorton1856 No problem

[@sethmorton1856]

@@animusdrifter Oh wow, didn't think people did it like that. I'm used to never needing to press both the trigger and bumper simultaneously, so having my pointer finger work both bumpers and triggers seemed natural to me. Using my middle fingers for the triggers would definitely be more flexible though, and not just for this game. I'll work on that. Been playing some more in the meantime and I'm super impressed with the mod. It seems like y'all erred on the side of "allow it to happen" vs. "don't allow it to happen", which I appreciate. The freeform button may be the most revolutionary part of the mod, so much potential when you just unlock the system from seeking targets pre-emptively. That being said, I was struggling to get vault landings to work, and I think it's because in some places I'm slightly too high above the ground for it to be allowed. If I'm quick enough on the triggers, I can go freeform just after the vault to let myself fall, which looks very natural and is super satisfying! GamePad Viewer works great, thanks!

[@henrypdt]

@@sethmorton1856 Hey there, glad to see you're enjoying the mod, just a few things to note of. Some features that are green-coded are disabled/limited by default (Swing Up, Vault Landing Further, Super Hop, Horse Flip), and so if you want to use it, you will need to follow the steps under Green-coded features below the installation. Also for vault landings, as stated in the key binds and in Things to know, are LT or LB only, that means you would have to use the binds by itself (especially without RT/High Profile). However yes, it also does depend on the range/height of the NSO you are vault landing to These information already exist in the description, I know it's quite a read but I recommend you have a proper read of the entire description (especially the Things to know / how to use section) to have a better idea. It does take some getting used to, but when you do and everything clicks, its quite intuitive and you cant really go back to vanilla.

You aren't supposed to enable the vaulting entry, but enable the mod with the bind listed on the modpage, and then use the mod as described there. More detailed instructions on how to use the mod are listed on Henry's modpage, but in short, you aren't supposed to manually enable entries.
