TaCZ: Presence

This mod is all about improving first-person immersion when using the Timeless and Classics Zero mod.

I highly recommend pairing this mod with Immersive Ballistics. They work perfectly together to bring the ultimate immersive experience to TACZ.

Why did I create this mod?

One day I was playing with a group of friends on a zombie server and a small battle royale. As a player using the TACZ mod, it just didn’t feel exciting enough. I couldn’t really tell where I was being attacked from or even feel like I was actually getting shot at. Something still felt off. So, I decided to do something about it.

What does this mod add?

Combat & Immersion

• Suppression System: If bullets fly past you or hit nearby, your screen will blur and shake, accompanied by dark edge overlays to simulate combat stress. Fully configurable.
• Scope Glare: Inspired by games like CoD and Fortnite. You will see a glint when someone aims at you with a long-range optic. In version 1.4, this is now manually configurable for addon compatibility.
• Fire Blur: Adds a subtle, fast blur effect on the edges of the screen when firing, simulating the intensity of recoil.
• Muzzle Smoke: Features two types of smoke effects when shooting. This includes a sutil muzzle puff and an experimental "dense smoke" mode around the weapon.

Visual Feedback & Overlays

• Damage Indicators: Clear visual cues showing the direction of incoming fire. Now includes two new styles and improved compatibility with Shoulder Surfing.
• Impact Overlay: Depending on the surface hit (dirt, sand, concrete) and your distance to the impact, your screen will be splattered with debris particles.
• Focus Overlay: When aiming down sights (ADS), the edges of your screen darken to help you concentrate on your target.
• Damage Overlay: A visual effect that intensifies based on damage taken. Works great with Enhanced Visuals.
• Low Health (Experimental): When health is critical, the screen turns red and applies a "ghosting" effect that fades as you heal.

Audio & HUD

• (HUD) Ammo Alerts: On-screen notifications when you are low on ammo, empty, or need to reload.
• HUD Redesign: A complete redesign of the original TACZ HUD for a more modern, tactical look.
• Impact Sounds: Specific sound effects that trigger when you take damage, varying by the intensity of the hit.

Technical Improvements

• Curios API Integration: Optimized compatibility for "Curios For Ammo Box".
• Texture Optimization: Improved and optimized textures for overlays and sniper glare for better performance.

Feel free to use this mod in your modpacks ;)
