Been following this thread for a while now, scrolling through the friendly banter and demands and insults looking for news. I haven't found anything on the state of the water in the upcoming A17 release. There has been some news on water reflection and such but nothing that I can find about flowing water. Has any work been done on this or are we still dealing with jello that has a 3 block flow range?

Dusted this one off from back in June, this was the last one that came to mind in regards to the state of water physics:

These are rendering/shader changes, so water looks better and renders faster, but it does not change how water blocks work.
Boats will not be in A17. A17 is at feature freeze, meaning no big new features. This is bug fixing and polish time with small features added as needed for bug fixes and polish.

the only change announced so far was the visuals

Hopefully this will alleviate some of the slowness near large bodies of water. Mainly an issue on MP servers.

 
Making yourself heard is not discourage here at all, in my opinion. Everyone is welcome.
But you need to conduct yourself with some tact! Most wouldn't act like that to others in life. It's just too easy to be "brave" when sitting alone behind your screen.

Oh I totally agree with you. Whatever you're trying to say, say it with tact and like an adult, even if the law doesn't say you are an adult. That is far more useful (and less abrasive) to a company than "You suck, where's my A17?" =P

 
That's it, we've had it! We're taking away your bacon and beer until A17exp is released! No more beer runs, no more fiddles n rain, no more banjos for y'all! The beatings will continue until morale improves! Maybe a good drag around the block behind the ol' pickup will motivate the devs, and just to make sure they learn their lesson, we're gonna get Skeeter next door to tailgate some! If'n that don't work, we're gonna put y'all to work selling women's shoes, just like good ol' Al Bundy, who once scored four touchdowns in a single game for Polk High, and make all y'all get married!

Did it work? Is it done yet? :D

 
Depends. Zombies near a player (on a player's path grid) will always go through empty blocks if the path is not too long. It is the total cost (health + downgrade's health) of the blocks plus the distance. Basic math. Air blocks have 0 heath, but they do have a distance cost.
Zombies far from players will go in straight lines, but usually they despawn. Hordes could have problems, but that is a different can of worms.

Whats the cost of water, compared to a free air block?

Will they try to pass a river, or rather run along the shore?

 
Hmmm, not bad music video from Neebs Gaming for 7D2D.

;) I still remember my first minutes ingame because of this , just awesome feeling !
 
We are still talking about release dates!
It's Done When It's Done It's Always Been That Way!!

Are We There YET! :)

Uh, careful now... Not sure Trekken's gonna like you stealing his akonym :p

 
Will we get the option to paint the mirror over our windows or glass? to make one-way windows, where we can see out but not in? is that even possible? would be cool to have. you can watch whole hordes stroll by and they wont see you, or watch players circling your bullet proof glass walls

There was a mod so very long ago that I liked. When the game updated it no longer worked and I don't think anyone ever redone the mod. I have asked a few times but there were no takers. I even tried myself but the outcome was horrible lol. Here is link to the original posts about it if you want to have a look.

I'm afraid I have horrible news to report...
...madmoles beard had a horrible accident with electric hedge trimmers...

Naturally the trimmers are destroyed, but the important part is that beard hair #462578 and #462579 were damaged...

Not beyond repair of course, but they took the brunt of the steel blades so were actually bent, almost a full 30 degrees...

So, a17 is held up until the nanomachines can finish repairs.

Should take an additional 4 hours.

Sorry guys.

I want what Guppy is smoking/drinking. Clearly it must be a concoction or he is much closer to MM to know intimate shaving details.

plants to any one who can answer

is there any chance the flowers will get redone at any point in future as it is now the game looks beautiful but when ruining past some of the plants it looks 2d and same with grass but i dont find that it is as bad tho dont ask me why it just dont .

love the game fun pimps thanks for hours and hours of fun :smile-new: :smile-new: :smile-new:

 
Grass is indeed looks much better that dedicated plants like Hops, cotton or chrysantemum. And they definitely gonna changein future.
