About the pull request

This PR will remain in draft until BlackDragon gives me the go ahead to open it, since it's his event.
PR open!

  • Adds a synth reset key to the handler's kit
  • The handler's pamphlet now imparts novice level engi skill
  • Revamps the growl emote sounds
  • Adds a whine emote with 3 sounds
  • Adds a tail wag emote

Explain why it's good for the game

An event was almost derailed on lowpop when the handler perma'd and there were no CEs/MTs to spawn a reset key. Adding a no skill reset key ensures that in the scenario that the handler is perma and there is no CE/MTs, the event can still continue.

Growls were previously nearly inaudible due to the normalization process, the bark at the end was removed in order to ensure the actual growl could be heard. The whine and tail wag emotes make your robodog more lifelike! Buy now from WY!

Testing Photographs and Procedure

Screenshots & Videos

Warcry included in order to highlight the volume difference.

Hello! I was originally working on a PR for this but DLC reached out and offered to pick it up as well as help make a few adjustments in order to make the event run smoothly. The goals were the following:

  • Bring the Synth K9 up to date with current Synth revive mechanics
  • Create an easy emote path for commonly used custom emotes (that way players don't have to type them out)

End result is that were giving the team the chances to be able to use the new synth key mechanics should the synth die as well as have an alternative mechanic in the event that the team is wiped and players find the synth. Ideally the event continues if such circumstances occur.

Future goals:

  • Limit available emotes to the Synth K9 as RP guardrails for players
  • Investigate minor thematic abilities to help the role grow more beyond the cool RP and dedicated-body-drag role
