Back again dudes.
Got distracted with attempts to figure out how the audio is called in the game, mainly because some of the soundclips are painfully crushed, and forgot to upload the thing:
https://files.catbox.moe/urrfnm.7z
Just copypaste this shit into the A way out_data folder, but make sure to make a backup of the three files that get replaced (or, hell, backup the whole game).
The full list of changes I've made is rather fucking long at this point, and I probably forgot some, but I'll try to list them. I strongly recommend playing with student preds on, and as prey yourself, as the preds cannot currently eat each other. If I can be fucked, I'll make the apex be able to swallow student preds again.
Anyhow, list of changes as I remember them:
- Each round now spawns 16 persons, spread around the map. If student preds are allowed, 4 out of 16 will be preds.
- The hunger system has been adjusted a bit. Before, all preds spawned with a timer of 500-something, with the apex ignoring all NPCs (but not the player) until that timer hit 0.
- The Apex now always start with a timer of 240, and each student pred spawns with a random reduction to their respective timers, personalized for each. Satie and Bella *always* start with a timer below 140 (see below).
- At roughly 145 seconds, student preds give off an unusually loud and deep stomach rumble to signal that they are soon hungry enough to hunt the player.
- In vanilla, the student preds behave like normal students until the 500-something timer hit 0, at which point they'd walk towards the nearest thing they had space for and eat it (including food items).
- Now, once their timer gets below 120, they hunt the player like the Apex. They'll come running if they hear you, and chase you down on sight.
- And, like the Apex, if their timer reaches 0, they hunt any NPC they have capacity for.
- Each pred, except Ligeska, only has room for one prey. Ligeska has some funky shit going on, but short version is that if she has prey already, there is a chance for each time she sees you that she might chase you.
- To help you keep track, each 'hungry' student preds' stomach gurgle every so often. If you hear it, keep away. This one needs some adjustment still, the range you can hear the preds is a bit too low, but if you set it too high, the game can quickly turn into an inaudible mess.
- Preds generally hear you from further away, so running if you can hear gurgling, especially close, can be often ill-advised.
- Digestion, both while trapped and when dead, last a *lot* longer. Former is about three times as long, and latter five times.
- As digestion progresses, the 'struggling' noises the prey makes gets progressively weaker and weaker, until they became barely audible underneath the noise of the stomach surrounding them (this still needs adjustment.)
- The struggle blendshapes also weaken as digestion progresses, until it can be hard to tell if their prey is still alive.
- Oh, and when the player gets eaten, an audio filter is applied that gets progressively stronger, making gamenoises more and more muted.
- When preds are completely done digesting someone, they now go to a bathroom on the first floor to spit out the bone instead of leaving them everywhere (just good manners, man). Until the bone is spat out, the hunger timer does not restart.
- Since digestion takes so much longer, weight-gain from one prey is, of course, increased.
- Escaping after being eaten is a lot harder than normal. However, apples have larger effects, including red apples. Prey have a pretty big bonus to their strugglerate early on in digestion, which fades quickly as digestion progresses. You therefore stand the best chance of escaping if you are swallowed alongside an apple, and hold F the first 50% of the digestion progress. After digestion is 50% done, escape becomes nigh impossible.
- The preds are generally somewhat bigger, and have bigger tits and/or ass for the most part.
- Ligeska flatly refuses to have her tits made bigger, neither by changing her goddamn armature transforms, or by blendshape, so I guess she wins this one.
- Tulpy has been...radically altered. She is basically just a somewhat smaller (and less hungry) clone of Satie now. I know not everyone is gonna love that change, but what I can say? I did not care for the fairy.
I almost certainly fucked something up, so if you catch something that doesn't seem right, and care to report it, I'll see if I can unfuck it.
