As a Server admin for quite a while now, things Server Admin powers let me do to make the game more fun:

I spend hours flying across the map, restocking the roads and various POIs with cars for looting.

I fly through the walls on POIs and put random chests filled with POI appropriate goodies hidden where people wouldn't normally look. The bottom of a lake, the top of a mountain, inside a cave, behind the walls, etc.

Minibike shows it is right in front of a client that isn't there? Teleport and Spawn a new one in for them.

Have a community area with a bunch of player bases. Community Traders can be built - any style and a trader can be spawned in after we build it.

Want a block that can only be pulled from CM for decorative purposes for your base? If it has no real effect on anyone else - Sure, I'll spawn in that shorter tree, etc.

Horde night over early but players still looking for action? Spawn in a few wandering hordes or screamers to keep it going.

Base or trader got damaged by some hacker? Determine the coordinates and restore a backup of that chunk (Just remember to have your region files backed up hourly).

Just be mature enough to only use them when filling the admin role and then shut it back off.

 
I can make it coast better. NOt sure what you mean by power reserve. What bike, the bicycle?

I think he means coast. Other thing to point out is, when you are on mid-air with any vehicles you can stop your movement in the air. You can fix that too?

what the command I would love to have a better fov?

If you hit F1 before your game loads in, and paste sg OptionsFieldOfViewNew 100 in the console and press enter, it should set your FOV to 100. You have to do it every time though. I have been bitching about this for a while too.

 
Would like a way to give admin permissions to not just the host.

You can through XML...on the server provider....give other people different levels of admin powers. Owner sets up his admin powers and can give everyone who plays the same or less

 
I get the point. I don't share it in full. Default is nice. Options are good. How hard (psichologically cofoundery beliefsystem speaking) would be to implement a tiny option like that? Maybe I'm barking at the wrong Duke. Shawn is busy right now. I'll try again in a few months lol.
Maybe dressing up as Zd Moe and jumping over opened hatches would summon him.

You'd be better off reading some self help books so you can control yourself instead of petitioning for useless features. We're not making the game difficult to access for some .00001% minority who can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar.

 
Is there any chance the LCB offline modifier bug is among the 56 MFs left to squash? Would love to see that working as designed.Would love to play A18 without it, too, but still...
Click to expand...
There is no design or bugs for it. We'd like to hear (Not now) a collective list of wanted LCB features from you guys for 19 so we can finalize that.

 
No. Zombies can't spawn out of chunk range, so if you really want a lame safe underground base, start digging down from the highest mountain peak.

I'm one that hates underground bases as well, still though I've been telling others to do exactly what you said. Glad to know I'm not the only one that plays this game above ground :)

 
Hey Madmole. While I loved the new powered draw bridge triggered by a motion sensor, I wish that you used a different type of block to start the bridge. This 45 degree angle is simply too steep to work right.

I didn't know the name of the new 4 meter ramp blocks. I can redo the video for youtube once the garage door is textured, that was a quick preview.

 
I'm just asking for an OPTION that would have more of a concrete presence of rules where it would be hard to put in CM and do these things like changing the time for convenience sake. One reason why I don't like fast traveling in MMOs is that it breaks emersion but if that's an option I'd be an idiot not to use it. I'm not telling you to remove console command as your beer analogy implies.

Yes you are. "Make it hard". No thanks, why should we ruin the experience for normal players who wouldn't cheat because they know it ruins their experience. I keep repeating we could make it hard, and you would still cheat, because all you would have to do is exit to the menu and enable cheats and restart the game and cheat. So no matter what we do, you will need to address your self control issues and recognize your behavior change is the feature you need.

We want to focus on bandits so we can't just do these random requests that yield no gains towards our goals.

 
Honestly, I don't see what this "feature" has brought to the game except zombies digging through stairs and zombies bothering me when I'm mining resources.

They are zombies, they are supposed to be bothering you.

 
Ah, those points make sense. What wouldn't make sense is that just because I'm the admin, I get to cheat and you don't. Now watch how superior I am to you as you die to my special gaming talents!
Yes, I had a 'friend' like this back in the day.

Happens on a lot of servers and games online. I saw it in Rust, Ark, even Quake back in the day with aim bots etc. Best option is to know the server owner so you know no shenanigans are going on.

 
I hate the idea of an end game.
You put in an ending. I reach it. The game ends. I go play something else. Sounds like a bad idea. Just for me though. I know some people love story and game ends. But not me. Story gets in the way and game ends end games. No thanks.

I guess you missed what I wrote on the topic.

 
i just lul at all the comments about disabling cheats. just play somewhere else. this game gets reset so many times ( no offense intended ) with Alpha release, bug fix patchs that make you restart, and server admins restarting servers eveyer 300day +. everyone

just stop whining about features you need to babysit you. be a man/woman and fix it yourself by jumping servers or go SP.

it's like MM is your mom and you cry every time you want the tit for milk.

he's a man, there is no milk (id hope) so hush

MM, the ZU local 666 has contacted me again... seems they are a little disturbed as to players always criticizing what and how they do things. this is just down-right being racist and offensive to those with disabilities.

all they want to do is live a peaceful existence, when they see players they try to hug them and some want to whisper sweet nothings in their ears and even have the for breakfast lunch or dinner sometimes.. but people run, throw stuff at them, shoot at them, and run over them with vehicles.

they want equality and they want it now. even the 4k world is big enough for all to get along in.

remember, this is brought to my attention and is not my opinion. :)
