Sinner's Sacrifice Heavy Cue

What it does

Heavy melee takes 0.36 s to wind up, so if you wait for all the bulbs to light you're already too late. Since the 29 Sept update the machines also run at two different speeds, which makes it worse. This mod tells you when to press:

• Normal speed (white bulbs): bulb 7 goes green with a low beep.
• Fast speed (red-orange bulbs): bulb 5 goes green with a high beep.
• Green + beep = hold heavy melee. The hit lands right as the last bulb lights.

The beep is tied to the bulb itself so it never drifts out of sync, and all the normal sounds still play.

Files

• Main file: green bulb + beeps.
• Colourblind: yellow bulbs on normal speed, blue on fast, cyan press bulb, same beeps.
• Bulb only: just the green bulb, no sound changes. Use this if you already run a mod that changes Sinner's Sacrifice sounds.

Install

Mod Manager: add the zip and enable it.

Manual: close Deadlock, take pak01_dir.vpk out of the zip, rename it to pak67_dir.vpk (any free number works) and drop it in Deadlock\game\citadel\addons.

Heads up

• Conflicts with other mods that change the Sinner's Sacrifice sounds or bulb materials.
• If two machines near you are running at different speeds at the same time, the beep can follow the wrong one.
• Bulb 7 is also lit while you're still knocking the machine down. The cue only counts once the lights start filling from bulb 1.
• High ping will make you late no matter what.
• Client-side only.
