Authority message

2Lt SkullCollector Authority In the Loop Second Lieutenant Officer, Operations Command (OC) Enlisted Contributor, J6 Policy Chief Instructor, Marksmanship Training Team Chief Instructor, Combat Leadership Training Team Observer, Core Infantry Training Team

Mod approved on the basis it remains fully optional.

There is an additional setting that allows unlimited mistakes without resetting QTE progress.

rundown of settings
Cargo Diabled forced by sever - reasononing boxloader is primary
Explosives Diabled forced by server - reasoning IEDD alredy enhances eod
Mag Repack Enabled not forced clients can disable - reasoning will way settings are difficulty saves about 10% of time (at my not a cracked OSU player skill level)
Medical Diabled forced by server - reasoning medical is alredy a skill based enviroment adding in would lead to more mistakes
Overheating Diabled forced by server -
Rearm Diabled forced by server - reasoning not compatible with our rearm settings
Repair Enabled not forced clients can disable - settings reduce time spent by about 10%

Overall intention is for it to only effect areas where the skill cap of the action is determined by how long the player has to sit waiting for a bar to move. areas where skill is required (medical, EOD, not overheating your gun) are not effected
All QTE will reset after an incorrect input this does not reset the action itself
intention was for around a 10-20% reduction in time spent waiting would like to reviw this with players directly after a 2 months of mod being live

@2Lt SkullCollector Can we leave that setting up to the client-side settings so people can customize it as it is an optional mod anyways?

Cpl DrJaffas Pointman Contributor Originator NCO, J8 Mods Chief Instructor, Fire Support Training Team Instructor, Communication Training Team Instructor, Remotely Piloted Systems Training Team

That would leave it up to exploitation allowing players to make its as easy as they could to exploit it

Cpl Stormaple In the Loop NCO, J7 Training Chief Instructor, Remotely Piloted Systems Training Team Staff Instructor, Marksmanship Training Team Staff Instructor, Mission Support Training Team

I meant only the reset portion, not all of the settings. I agree that the difficulty should be set server side to avoid exploitation. That said, I don't know how exactly the mod works

Cpl Melon Contributor NCO, J9 Servers Chief Instructor, Medical Training Team

I really like this, especially if its a client side mod. Would be fun when for example repacking mags you have the helldiver minigame enabling you to do it a little faster. If its a risky one like defusing a mine you can also just sit and wait until the timer runs out as usual
Also could give logi a little more content

Cpl Stormaple In the Loop NCO, J7 Training Chief Instructor, Remotely Piloted Systems Training Team Staff Instructor, Marksmanship Training Team Staff Instructor, Mission Support Training Team

I like the idea in general - ace interacts are kinda boring vanilla so this would be a nice change. Reality depends on implementation and the actual functionality of the mod.
