Immersive Diving Gear

A Diving Suit Overhaul

Immersive Diving Gear is a purely xml based overhaul for diving suit gameplay and makes it more challenging by adding dynamic suit pressurization. It will take time to stabilize the suit pressure before you can enter pressurized water without taking damage. Suits will also make you considerably slower while walking.

Diving Suits:

• Pressure Valve: The suit has an integrated button interface to open and close the pressure valve. An open pressure valve releases built up pressure and allows you to breath hull oxygen instead of your tank content. A closed valve will only take effect if you're wearing a diving suit helmet with a seal in it. Once the valve is closed it'll start the pressurization process and cuts off access to hull oxygen. You're now reliant on the tank in your suit. Every few seconds your suit pressurizes more and allows you to dive 500m deeper. Once the pressurization icon turns green the suit has reached it's maximum pressure value and will allow you to dive up to the suits maximum depth.

• Slower Movement: Diving suits will now reduce your movement speed more than they did before when wearing them while walking.

• Slot Change: Suits are no longer equipped in the outer clothes slot and instead will now be equipped in your inner clothing slot. So you got to get out of your clothes and into the diving suit.

• Bot Friendly: Bots will automatically equip a custom helmet which can't be interacted with and receive instant pressure protection to prevent them from dying as their AI can't handle more complex systems. Once the bot takes off the suit or the player takes control and the bot is no longer pressurized and in water, the helmet will despawn.

Diving Helmets:

Diving helmets are required to pressurize a diving suit. A diving helmet requires a suit seal to allow the suit to build up pressure and a battery if you want to make use of the helmet lamp. The lamp can be toggled on and off via an interface.

Any diving helmet can be worn with any diving suit as they do not provide any stats nor any oxygen on their own. The diving helmet is worn in the outer clothing slot to allow you to also wear a mask or other headgear underneath it.

The sounds are also overhauled to not play randomly and instead play the distinct water bubble sounds (with visual bubbles rising from your helmet) when breathing while in water and in-suit breathing sounds when not in water.
