Light baking is a process used to pre-render all the lighting information in a level, and apply that on top of the textures. The game is then downloaded with those modified textures with the lighting information, and it allows the player's computer not to re-render all the lighting information again. It allows for better lighting, and faster. One of its drawbacks however is that switching the lighting (for example from day to night) requires to switch to a different set of textures, which : - Increases RAM usage - Increases map sizes - Thus increases download sizes - Thus increasing load times - Requires more artists to work on a single level, to setup more lights - Requires more times for the artists to bake all those textures in the game, thus makes the workload less efficient Overall, it is a great technique, that has been used for decades for its effectiveness. But if VOID wants to add power-switching, they need to practically remake all the existing maps, and deal with all these drawbacks (which will send people complaining for sure). So it really isn't laziness on their part, it is a deliberate choice to deliver more quality content, faster, and with higher standards, at the cost of dynamic lighting. PS : About the custom maps who do that... Well, it was in the mind of their developer from the start, and they decided to tackle the problem from the start. I'm not saying it is impossible, just that it requires a lot of extra effort and more inconveniences for the players.

[@ericinhifi]

I definitely understand why they didn't want to have a power box to disable lights. The amount of work they'd have to do would be almost a detriment to everything else they are and were working on. Some will blame it on laziness but they fail to understand why it would be such a setback if they suddenly started working on every maps' lighting, we'd probably wouldn't see any progress on anything else

​@@kamaljitbains5735 what you are asking void to do is rebuild an entire two story house that's currently getting insulation put in because the basement isn't as big as you wanted it to be, even though it was purposely designed that way to make the house much easier, cheaper and more efficient to build. on a side note, my father is an architect, and he absolutely despises house owners. I think im starting to understand why now.

[@illzzu]

One thing I'd really like is media, news coverage, live reporter etc. cinematics based on your performance in the level. If you die, it'd show a semi-sad cutscene where the news reporter would announce you KIA and your team having to retreat, after the "OFFICER DOWN"-screen. (Maybe hours after the incident, not like they'd be on scene, but depending on the level of course)

[@WindiChilliwack]

I think it'd be pretty cool, making it a "REPLAY FOOTAGE" type of mode after completion, it shows all your movements, suspects with a photo and some "commenters" which would be pretty cool.

[@NoahSteelyee]

vehicle infills would seemingly be a relatively easy feature to realise seeing as a lot of games use cinematic movement sequences as a hidden loading sections to cache shaders for new map areas, I'd assume if implemented they'd just replace the current deploy screen n like u say it might be something they decide to only use in SP.

[@tekakciok]

I hate that the devs are just making one update for a whole year, and the worst part is when they released ADAM update they completely broke farm, the shader is just disgusting on the map and the ai is worse than old Brisa, after eight months they didn't even bother to try and fix these issues, instead they focused on making shoes, video contest and the "big" 1.0 update which only comes out by the end of the year, I like the game, I put 333 hours in it with my friends but It gets boring when we play the game without any new official map or features, at least what they could've done is release new maps one by one to keep us entertained and fix the existing issues like farm

Seems like the devs aren't even aware of what's already been done by smart modders. "Children of Taronne" (SWAT4 or Not) already has the ability to turn off power, and "Hot Coffee" already lets you act as a marksman. Are the devs seriously unaware of this???

[@ahzidaljun]

children of taronne does not use the same lightning system as void does. void bakes the lightning into the map, making it impossible to change dynamically since they would turn off the lights but 99% of objects in the map would be unaffected and still look like if it was lit. i'm not sure why they chose to do this as manipulating visibility is a pretty important part of tactical shooters, and the version of ue4 they are running completely supports fully dynamic lightning, as seen in children of taronne or similar games like insurgency or ground branch. it's weird because i'm pretty sure this is also why their reflections are complete garbage, since they're not 100% dynamic and are rendering completely random baked things it cant be for performance since the game barely runs, so i legit dunno what's going on internally

[@OfficialInvictus]

It's definitely not impossible to have both night and day variations, it's just time consuming. Still... I don't think it'd be the end of the world if they had a handful of maps with different times for each scenario. People like bringing up the custom map with the power disabling option too, but one thing I say is that it's not nearly as dark as it should be even with the power off on that map. You don't even need NVGs with the power off either. So, I'm still assuming there are some more moving parts there.

[@jty1999]

Skins and customization are good, but unless there's substance then it'll just continue being tactical SWAT Barbie. We need some conversation around new maps, AI improvements, different times of day, laser/light combos, etc. Radio silence doesn't help their situation.

The worst is their silence. A year of nothing, a disappointing 1.0 launch and no further updates since November.

[@adamg4336]

quite literally every aspect of the cut content could have been introduced prior to go live. And considering everyones comments about lighting. As of 1.0 there's maybe, 3-4 levels that would benefit to cutting the power. So it's not as if they didn't have the time. And as theyve already either cut entire levels or remodelled entire levels, they could have had this in mind...but they didn;t.

[@ethancobb4002]

Man im dying for a feature where we can turn out the lights or at least shoot them out… would make it way more immersive and make nvg actually useful!

Zero Hour has it. The AI even reacts to it, as they turn on their weapon lights, search for you and try to turn on the lights again. While not perfect, it does a lot of things better than RON. It also has a PvP mode that can get really exciting, but the playerbase is dying...

[@Aurora-bv1ys]

They need to add fast walk and prone animation

[@zyexio]

Fast walk would be cool. Right now we have Low-Ready which is sorta like that. I have to disagree with Prone though. For SWAT operators, the idea is to clear the location and save the day. Can’t really do that in prone. Being overwatch would be interesting but at the end of the day the emphasis is on CQB so it’s all about being fluid.

[@supirritogai1820]

You have a point but there is no clear position distinction in the game, if someone in the team wants to be overwatch some guns in the state of not laying down the aim is very unstable such as m24, there is really no suitable scene to use it. Of course, I also think it is acceptable to not have prone animation, but this game does need to fast walk to improve the speed of crossing combat zone and pursuit situations, because some bots have very powerful machine guns and walk straight through even if you hold shield, it will be dangerous. Secondly, I think this game can add the setting of knocking down teammates and dragging them, which will further improve the sense of engagement in the battle. Sometime bots will be knocked down and they still hold their guns,but players will directly die🙂

On the power turning on/off. They use pre baked lighting on maps, that means that most shadows/highlights, light in general etc. are baked into textures ans shaders when they push level into live game. And only few light sources are dynamically rendered when you play. With current implementation of lighting system they will need to rerender all levels with lights turned off, and then write code that will swap whole map textures and effects when you turn off the lights.

I like the idea of a PVP, however, I would prefer it be like SWAT 4 with one uniform style of player for each side, with minor customizations. The ladder, drone stuff, who cares. The sniper part, I miss that a lot, but it had limitations that were frustrating in themselves. The inability to snipe a suspect you could see, for whatever reason, who knows. I would love a deployable snipe that you could station at various points of the map, that would be cool. The deployment cinematic at the beginning of each scenario would add some real immersion I think as well. Thanks for your feedback and the video...

[@FreeFragUK]

I'm disappointed regarding the lighting as to me that takes away tactical options but I can also understand why the decision has been made. I might be in the minority but I'm glad to hear that the PvP side has been pushed onto the backburner for whenever they get to it as opposed to prioritising it. Given the most recent updates I can recall relate to personalising your team member as opposed to anything resembling meaningful content or features I'm becoming somewhat apathetic towards RoN at this point. Team personalisation is a welcome and potentially impactful feature but it feels like something that should be lower on the list given the slew of missing features, equipment and content. I can't help but feel as though the overall development progress for Ready or Not has been very slow to the point where it seems as though many people are reliant upon the excellent work being done by the modding community to fill the void between updates (the patrol officer mod looks like it could make a superb full feature adding a new perspective/dynamic to the game). Perhaps there is a reason for the slow progress but ultimately I end up comparing it to Zero Hour. Perhaps it's just in my mind but Zero Hour seems to have made significantly more progress over a much shorter period of time, with future updates and features still to come.

Absolutely maddenning reading comments from ignorant people about how Void are "lazy" or whatever because they cut X or Y, or didn't add Z. The sheer amount of work that went into designing and making this game is incomprehensible. It's not above critique at all, but how quickly people jump to assuming the developers just don't care is kinda insulting. It's always shifting goal posts too, like it's never enough. RON is kinda an incredible game when you look at it but people always have to move the posts back and claim it's half-baked because you can't turn off individual room lights or whatever.

[@penedrador]

So you're just naive then? They do not listen or interact to their playerbase, Early Access was just a bunch of blog posts of things no one cared about and their 1.0 release made the game worse than it was in EA. Also, many of the things we want from the game is already in cheaper games with way less budget, like Zero Hour.

Nah this is you being dumb. Read the mission briefs for literally any mission, you are never "infiltrating", you are always responding to incidents in progress. The problem with the reviews people like you leave is that you don't want Ready Or Not. You don't want a story based SWAT shooter. You want to be Navy SEAL John Wick and clear room after room of generic bad guys. SWAT doesn't shoot out lights, there is an argument to be made for shutting off some lights. But backup generators are likely present at several locations. You couldn't cut power to a hospital, and again the whole point of the missions is usually "WE NEED YOU ASAP THERE'S NO TIME!" So shutting lights off doesn't make much sense there either. There are dozens of weapons, every major military issue assault rifle and sub machine gun is included from a standard M4 and all it's variations to a G36 to an AUG, to an AK, to an FAL. But people like you won't stop bitching till you can put an exact replica ACOG on a hi point in game.

That's because actually shipping a game involves an awful lot of compromise and sacrifice. When you're showing off early development, you're showing off ideas that might not make the cut. You're showing off the ideal that you're trying to hit. As you add more and more to a game, you need to optimise and cut in equal measure to keep it actually running. A visually pretty map might start to run like ass once all the advanced AI is running around doing this and that. So the compromise you end up making is to lower the quality, so it actually runs.

The best reason for not being able to turn off the power (other than the stated reason which is enough) is that it would lead to exploitable gameplay and would lead to the mission being played the same way every time. e.g. "Hello? Who goes there? Dimitri?? Are you messing with me again?" "Fucking drug addicts, they forgot to pay the power bill again. UGGHH I'll go check it out." and if suspects indeed would suffer an accuracy nerf from being in darkness, then there would never be a reason NOT to turn the power off, so it might as well just start being off anyway since every player would opt for the most optimal mission parameters.

[@dawdle2774]

I don't know if it's really a good reason.

Ready or Not is starting to look like a big disappointment

[@shitpost4204]

It is not

[@pauldonohue4255]

a swat game where they can't turn the lights out, it just sums up the lazy attitude. You just need to check out the pick lock animation for laziness, defusing a bomb is you standing there while the pliers float about in the air.

[@nextinventions8412]

Ready or not isn't a triple A game, and the game just released. Give it some time and im pretty sure alot of things will be more polished.

[@InescapableRealityOfficial]

So basically all these games are a waste of money since they are not willing to do what is necessary to maximize the game.

No?

I am extremely disappointed with Void Interactive. Myself and many others purchased RoN on the promise of tactical ladders. We were lied to and basically robbed. I have been banned from the RoN subreddit and have no other forum to voice my grievance. Myself, and the ladder community as a whole, need an answer from VOID. Shameful.

Those clips on repeats hurt real bad to keep rewatching, big nausea from that, would have been nice to have more scenes or references, or even areas where it would be good to show the use of the iteam. Rather than repeating the same clip over and over.

[@adriankschan94]

Lost all hope for this game. The really grabbed the bag and ran.

[@precisemike]

It seems like these devs do a lot of talking.

[@audiomac]

I think the real reason the devs do not want to have a light box or something similar to toggle the lights in a building is that it would require the AI to actually be affected by how dark an area is 🤯🤯🤯. These devs are being lazy and need to follow their promises. Their trailers made big promises, and people pre-ordered their game because of those promises.

[@rikygamerE4037]

Omg calico gun HI!!

[@HeathBlythe]

PvP is not for this game. It can't handle a 5 player network. And the OG SWAT community doesn't care about PvP. You want PvP, go play R6S.

[@lastword8783]

Dead game. Snail pace development. But at least we get biweekly dev blogs about which type of shoes the art team is working on as they update the game once or twice a year.

[@TamarinPamarin]

The game needs PVP and ranking system to get continuous players for years. This game has potential to became realistic R6 Siege.

[@grimtygranule5125]

"due to engine limitations" Bitch i could go on roblox rn and make a Raytracing lamp with light switch in a heartbeat. But these professional game devs are struggling with simple things like that?

[@TheSpoonyCroy]

because the roblox engine has a rather simple implementation of raytracing, you expect that from a game made on a completely different engine? The simple answer is they made a decision early on to prebake the lighting on all the maps, you would have to redo all the maps to have dynamic lighting and shocker dynamic lighting probably kick performance down the gutter again. This is an example of tech debt, they made a decision and now its too late to fix it without wasting way more time than it really is ever worth to implement it. Players were already pissed about no updates from Adam to 1.0 (which honestly there should have been a beta patch to hammer out the bugs for 1.0 sans the new content) but do you know how long it will take to get this done when they have 19 maps including that stupid police station.

[@chiefkeefgaming2005]

maybe because roblox and ready or not are on completely different engines and roblox has less input required?

[@daunteee4026]

[@iPlayGamesITA]

I honestly would not play this game for the pvp, as there's many more shooter games famous for the pvp. What would be cool is instead a custom map/mission creator tool, where players can create new missions for others to face.
