Option to disable shake (quake) effects

[Hareton]

Sometimes screen shake effect is overused, for example in Winter's Fury (boss battles) or Pirates! (effects of shooting cannon and machine gun weapons). For me even slightest screen shakes give eye pain, some other people complained too. Sometimes even editing wads isn't a way to go, when there are too many instances to edit, it's more work than it's worth... So a menu option to disable all quake effects would be very helpful.

[Arch]

A menu option would be nice, since I've heard some other people that get motion sickness with it too, but until it's implemented (if it will), there is a quick way to edit these mods:

Open their DECORATE with Slade ---> go to find and replace mode ---> find a_quake and replace with //a_quake

It will replace all entries at once.

It should fix all guns. Of course this is one hell of a hack, you will still get scripted quakes, I don't know if Radious_quake can be used in decorate, you can try doing the same with that one too.

[Gez]

Almost all action functions can be used in DECORATE. The exceptions are those that can only be placed on lines. (E.g., you cannot put Line_SeIdentification in DECORATE code, but then again, it'd be completely useless anyway.)

[Hareton]

Open their DECORATE with Slade ---> go to find and replace mode ---> find a_quake and replace with //a_quake

"Found 0 occurences"
In projectmsx decorate there are only names of the individual weapon files. In these files there is no quake, but recoil sounds like a culprit. Changing it to 0 gives no effect.

From my understanding, [wiki]A_Recoil[/wiki] moves the player backwards instead of merely shaking the screen.

However, who knows what it does in ACS with this line of code:

Code: Select all

ACS_NamedExecute("Weapon-Recoil",0,12,random(-9,0),0)

Since ACS is compiled, modifying it isn't as easy. You need to have the sources available, and to recompile them.

Really, there is no way to mitigate this recoil effect by wad editing?

To my mind, the biggest problem with this suggestion is that I don't think it would do what the OP wants, not reliably any way. There are quite a few different ways to create weapon recoil effects and these can shake the screen in a number of different ways. Adding an option to disable quakes might be an easy thing to do (frankly, I don't know - but it seems like it might be) and it wouldn't bother me if it was added but I can easily think of about three or four other recoil/shake methods that would need separate handling (and there could well be more). Doing so would quickly get messy, I suspect, and could even have undesirable effects if something was disabled when the same feature was used for a different purpose elsewhere in the mod.

Dare I suggest that the way to address the problem of a particular mod being actually physically painful to play might be to not play it? I know that would mean missing out and is a bit of a "sucks for you" attitude though.

The effect of Hexen's quake is purely visual and can easily be disabled (or reduced, my preference would be a slider setting a factor between 0 and 1) but any other means to create screen shaking take place within the playsim and there's absolutely no way to get rid of them except for recoding the actions producing them.

I believe this feature will pretty much solve OP's and many others motion sickness problems

The source for Project MSX (which the code comes from) is available; It's in acs/scripts.txt

The effect of Hexen's quake is purely visual...

Is the effect of damaging actors with a quake not part of Hexen? Will this intensity affect that?

[Gez]

The screenshaking effect of Hexen's [wiki]earthquake[/wiki] is purely visual. (Sectors and actors aren't physically moved.) The damage and sound effects aren't affected by the CVAR.

[Ed the Bat]

Sounds good to me. I've used a few quakes for the sake of damaging/thrusting players. Wouldn't want those disabled by a menu option.
