PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

[ZombieSurvivor]

My personal favorite is zombie strippers, starring the one and only Jenna Jameson.

I've seen it. No wonder why you have a dirty mind. Darn those dirty movies, look at what they have done to you!

Being able to do a start from a hospital bed and sneak/run for my life out of the hospital would be an awesome start alternative. Fantastic idea!

Glad you like like it. It actually takes me back to New Vegas, beginning with a bullet in your skull and a score to settle; it would be awesome for these new origins to be tied with some story-driving NPCs in the future, or some really custom settings, I.e. beginning infected and searching for a batch of antiserum within the hospital

"Don't mistake the map for the territory"- Discordian proverb

The universe can be described by maths, it isn't made of maths. It can be described by words though not composed of words.

“Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.” - Bertrand Russell

Its no worries, they are selling on ebay for 1.99 so its not like he destroyed some awesome investment lol.

For a brief moment, I thought you were referring to kids

 

[DaVegaNL]

It takes a very special type of person to have the much coveted geologist job. Only few people are worthy of such a heavenly job, am I right or am I right. Can I get a rock on instead of a hallelujah people. Rock on!

You want some money or what? ^-^

No child zombies are coming. Something small perhaps.

Hmm.. something small is coming.

* Turns around *

Oi! SnowDog! He's talking 'bout you!

- - - Updated - - -

yeah dumb as a rock or old as a rock like me

Hehe those are not insults man!

- - - Updated - - -

That sounds bad. I prefer "Smart as a rock and twice as tough".

Now we're talking!

 

[DaVegaNL]

Wait... You used 'or'. Are you trying to mislead us by implying you can't be both at the same time?
(I'll also let YOU decide if YOU means YOU or anyone...)

(Maybe we need fully qualified geologist answer. And I'll be fine with it as I am sure DV even knows math by the type of games he plays...)

; - )

Lol what games did you have in mind? The witcher 3 comes after part 2.. but i don't think that's very advanced math ^-^

 

[DaVegaNL]

Not so useless if you are late game playing nomadic, not gonna argue.
Mods on vehicles such as this one, could add cool experience in MP.

A one can upgrade to utility 4x4 vehicle for repair and make tools/weapons/armour for the team.

Another could have the blue color dye.

Third one could have a turret installed.

Might there be a one with extra storage for miners or geologists to explore and gather stuff for bases between the bioms, but with lowered speed and lowered HP.

The one who is the fifth wheel in the team could just walk, cursing, too.

It's cute that you thought of me <3

I’m a wiki of modern......... adult films

Modern for you? That's at least 2 geological epochs away from my definition of modern.

 

[spacepiggio]

I just watched a documentery about that clean up. Thank for your clean up services my dude!

Combined forces mission, the Air Force flew us out there, the Navy took us from island to island, hauled debris to Runit's Cactus Crater &

The Combat Engineer's picked everything up...

Guess who I was...

 

[madmole]

What do you mean? I'm starting to feel that the amount of items in the game are starting to be quite a bit more than even a scrapper can afford to manage. Leaving chests left and right gets old and annoying real fast.
Some kind of storage mod for vehicles and backpacks for the player would be awesome.

Bethesda uses a list with weights, so they don't have this particular problem. The way to go here would be backpacks for the player and mods for vehicles.

This game is getting rich in content, so the inventory problem is real.

I meant whatever you were asking for might come in alpha 19 to 21.

 

[madmole]

That was the most terrifying thing I ever saw when I was a kid. My brothers tape recorded that little thing and played the tape in the room next to my bedroom to scare the crap out of me at night.

 

[madmole]

Wait, is this an actual thing in A18 or are you just spitballing?

Its already implemented. I'm sure you can catch a glimpse of it in some of the vids if I used a forge.

 

[madmole]

after a rainstorm or snowstorm, radiation levels are lowered for a little while until it evaporates and brings it back up. not very scientific, but barely plausible.

I'd rather find the gear and then feel rewarded I can try to get in there to get some stuff, than have it fluctuating. I want it consistent so players know immediately this is a bad place. Imagine a use case where you join a server when its "low" and you run in there, then it goes to normal and you die and cannot get your stuff back.

 

[madmole]

Wouldn`t that require some sort of weather awareness in the biomes, like a forecast for when it could be possible to creep around with less harm by radiation. This of course, in a matter to take advantage of this change of levels, otherwise would be just a random event happening somewhere that just sucks resources.
Just thoughts here, sounds like a cool dynamics, but probably too complicated.

It is, for reasons I stated and many I didn't

 

[madmole]

Bubo - I normally love your images. But I had tons of bad dreams after seeing Karen Black and Trilogy of Terror the first time. (And even though I am almost as old as a rock - I was pretty young then... And I'll let you decide if it was Karen Black or the movie that I am referencing.... There's that 'or' again...). QB

LOL terrizing kids since 1975. I'm surprised they don't do a remake with modern CG.

I'm an Atomic Cleanup Veteran that cleaned up the Nuclear Test Range in the Marshall Islands & it was hotter than Chernobyl.They were just sampled again 40 years later this summer & they are still hotter than Chernobyl, so much for the cleanup...

No protective clothing or decontamination stations, picked the ♥♥♥♥ up with our bare hands so I'm very comfortable in this apocalyptical game.

Lojwa Animal, buy our book;

So what happen with the Play Test MM, your Base Crash & Burn on Horde Night?

No I've just been busy stomping out new bugs that surfaced. I'll be back at it in 15 minutes

 

[madmole]

Can these mods be crafted or do I have to find them ?

Find schematic then craft, or find the item. Maybe intellect guy can craft it I forgot.

 

[Slingblade2040]

just curious as to how far this bandit thing is going. will they eventually be able to use all the vehicles to attack us? such as using mounted guns on the 4x4 to shoot us or dropping stuff like pipe bombs on us from the gyrocopter?

 

[madmole]

@mm or anyone else: Does anyone know if lcb decay bug has been fixed for a18? LCB still having protection after decay time is expired has been a minor but problematic bug for pvp servers a17. Even though the lcb is expired, other players can place blocks and such the area is still under protected coverage to raid. Has this been fixed? thanks.
another question: how many bugs left?

No idea, sorry.

9 mf.

 

[madmole]

About upgrading vehicules : 4x4 is pretty useless in solo, could be nice to have mods like a little workbench or a lab on the back seat...

What? I love the 4x4, I go out for 3 days and loot and loot and loot. All the other vehicles I have to go home and drop gear off every day.
