PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

Will there be any doors added from creative menu in the in-game menu ?

Some bases we do build a bit tough, but for more detailed ones, more sorts of doors are welcome.

I dunno why people get mad over screamers, they are free exp and mini horde nights lol

Mainly because they're annoying as hell. I play multiplayer with friends and having them show up Day 1 with the entire HOA because we're struggling to cook food to feed the 5 of us and all we have are wooden sticks to fight with is a bit crappy.

Old method, but I did fix around 150 window blocks that said their opacity blocked light, but should not.

Will this let motion sensors see through glass, including bullet proof, now?

 

[Laz Man]

The wasteland needs more deco parts out there. More destroyed structures, maybe some bomb craters.

There are a couple new crater POIs, I will probably add more over time. Time permitting.

Since we're getting close to that point, somebody needs to remind rick/lathan to resolve any possible tech problems before starting tommorow, lol.

Are we getting a re-creation of Arizona’s famous Meteor Crater?

Haha, that thing is massive...maybe we can plan a scaled down version in the future...

I would love to be able to make the glass sliding doors, especially out of bullet proof glass.

I doubt it, as motion sensors probably use a raycast.

 

[Grimael]

On that note, we have been in need of more Bulletproof Glass block shapes. eg: there is a curved corner shape,but not a curved block to match it.
Hopefully this gets added.

Were you assisted by @Crater Creator ?

Yes, PLEASE.

Nice! With this change, will cops/screamers still be able to see the player through these shapes?

 

[Dark Sun]

Asking because there are a host of (even completely opaque) blocks screamers and cops can see the player through, such as half-blocks, if I'm not mistaken in that example.

Yeah, mostly seems to be half-blocks that have this issue. It's kind of ridiculous that I can be completely covered and still have a Screamer scream at me as soon as she walks up.

Pseudo Posse did a video on it a while back and it's not only wildly inconsistent, it's quite disturbing how many block shapes screamers/cops can see you through. I believe in his horde every night series, GNS had to switch out most of the blocks in his base from fancier shapes to full cubes particularly because of this problem.

I suspect the main reason is that they want to plan how they're going to spend their in-game time, and screamers are designed to show up when you're doing base stuff (also: when you're doing non-base stuff). To people who are playing that way, the screamers would feel like an interruption of the fun rather than the arrival of fun.

I can attest to this personally. I'm a builder, and having screamers show up every couple of in-game hours purely because I have a few torches or candles burning is a little ridiculous. They're a little too sensitive nowadays, in my opinion. I shouldn't have to turn my one burning campfire off when I don't want to be disturbed (multiple times) during a long paint session, but I digress.

It all depends on perspective. If you're somebody who likes constant action, the thought of simply sneezing in a forest and it attracting screamers can seem like a blessing, but to those who want calmer days, they can get a bit annoying, even with a dedicated horde/screamer base set up nearby.

No. Block opacity is for light propagation, which should have nothing to do with physics raycasts against colliders. A tester did complain today about a cop seeing him in a house and I glanced at the can see code, but saw no issue. It needs a more detailed look.
