I hope we can transition from the 1/4 wedge to the 1/2 wedge without causing damage too.

How about a zombie perk system. Give zombies, depending on zombie type and maybe player game stage and difficulty setting, a certain number of points and then have them randomly assigned to a perk chart when a zombie spawns. So one zombie might have more HP, one might do more block damage, one...

I don't like the zombie AI either, it seems to me beyond the apex of a reasonable AI spectrum. I would suggest that the smartest zombies would be smart enough to walk around your base and look for a weak spot from what they can see from outside and maybe even influence other zombies. Slightly...

I really think that when you press shift to run and maybe jump it should deactivate crouch. I like the aim toggle but I would like it if it would toggle off after each shot is fired and toggle off if you press shift to run. Also you should get sneak damage regardless of whether you are...

Good news for me, I've found that you can use a sloped ceiling to compress yourself, lowering your POV and extending your vertical melee range. So my base design should still work with a small modification.

Sorry that I'm sounding like a broken record, I know everyone at TFP is busy working hard and the forums are very busy, but I'm still wanting to know if we can get our crouching move back with a lower POV. The base design I've been developing and using very successfully since A15 is based on...

I've asked about crouching twice in the developer discussions thread and made this thread to try to get an answer. I'm still hoping to get some info from someone from TFP about whats happening with crouching. Is the old crouch gone for good? Will we never be able to really crouch again?

Has anyone from TFP said anything about why they changed the Y offset of crouch? XML's still say 0.65 but in game its only about 0.25 now, and that is reducing the vertical melee range by about 0.3m.

So, according to entityclasses.xml, "CrouchYOffsetFP" value="-0.65" The xml still says crouch lowers by 0.65m but in game I'm only seeing a lowering of about 0.25m. So why was the Y offset reduced? Is it a bug?

Crouching only lowers the player by about 0.25m or 1/4 of a block in A17-e. In A16 crouching lowered the player by about 0.6m, more than half a block. Crouching is more like just sneaking now and not really what I would consider to be crouching. Now if you stand on top of a wall 3m tall and...

Thank you so much for all the wedge corners. Has anyone pointed out that crouching used to lower your pov by about 0.6m and now it only lowers you by about 0.25m? It seems to make it much more difficult to melee zombies from atop a wall.

Having the area where someone lives and travels through regularly become a loot deadzone by constantly resetting the timers might be good for a SP game but on a MP server as the player population grows and players build vehicles to travel faster you'll end up with an expanding dead zone that...

If players reset the timer for loot when they walk too close, was this intended to discourage players from living inside buildings like shotgun messiah or crack a book and farming their loot? Couldn't they just make it so a bedroll,campfire,forge or keystone would disable loot respawning within...

Like sargentcobra said, there are different kinds of stone. The stone you find just below the surface could be compared to a sedimentary rock like limestone which isn't nearly as hard as an igneous rock like granite that you could imagine is what bedrock is made of. Cement is made primarily...

I had this argument with someone a while back about where the name of the game comes from, since I think I started playing in A7 and they didn't have 7 day hordes that I can remember, I thought the name came from the time it takes for an infection to kill you. No? 7 days to die of an infection...
