PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

We have to do a pass on what is drive through and what collides, what is breakable, etc. Its barely in first peek sort of thing. And by we I mean GaZZ.

Am liking the jeep being able to carry a passenger ((maybe even 3) or more)).

I also like how you threw Gazz under the jeep there....so to speak...

 

[archergod]

There are 3 different classes of colliders and not all have XML settings.It's complicated...

I like the jeep, but looks like Jeep doesn't have weight. To mention, Jeep is going in air when riding the trash. It make sense a stone blocks make them ride up in air, but a trash, small aloe vera, cactus which are one hit destroy making jeep go in air is bit looks odd.

Things are missing or not fixed enough, but it`s a WIP, so lets see how good pimps will make it . After that we will start giving proper feedback.

Hyped dude here.

Why not?

I remember, when i was twenty years - I also loved all in the grey color. Depression... It happens .

but... it seems... it can now be configured via .xml? Thank You Joel!

Don't worry - we'll fix it !

With best regards !!!

We should really be posting our comments in XML. It helps to make it more readable for the devs.

I'm hoping that passengers in a vehicle will be able to attack. Not only will this limit the endless rounds of "Are we there yet?" but also provide extra defensive and offensive capabilities for the vehicle.

Drive by ! Well, with machette while driving would be fun too, to make the zeds meet their creator.

Fingers crossed for this.

 

[Maharin]

It would also be nice if the passengers could jump out of the vehicle any time they wish, even if that means taking a tumble into a cactus.

That should be an essential feature, I've seen how my friends drive.

i would love to see players thrown out if vehicle flips upside down. to me and it is my opinion and i know most of you wont agree... but seems a bit over powered for a truck... even a tank (which is designed to be tough), can be destroyed.

i like the vehicle, MM said this is first pass so hopefully it gets toned down a little. ok guys/gals you can attack me now... i wont say anything. (but my opinion will remain mine)

I have two daughters that are new drivers and I've wished for this feature in real life.

One drives slow enough I could probably do it without harm.

 

[JaxTeller718]

And the sleep bar raises when you are in shady areas? I think not ^^

Well then, color me happy. Not sure I wanted to see any type of rest/sleep system aded.

Hmmm...finally a use for the sunblocker that has been in the xml's for a long while? I can dig that.

The basic technique for exiting a vehicle at speed is pretty simple, you'll see it in a lot of film stunts unless they're using a dummy. Tuck your arms in and try to roll perpendicular to the line of acceleration. If you don't tuck your arms in they'll snap. If you don't roll with the line of force you'll end up with terrible road rash. If you roll head-over-feet then you'll snap your ankles and your neck, not necessarily in that order.

I've never tried this myself... not at any great speed... not while sober

^ This bloke is an idiot but he demonstrates the technique... badly.

If this gets into the game, we can call it "darwin awards` deaths" confirmed.

But we will see

Good you skipped this event in life, Gronk.

Just wait until somebody creates a "giant lightsabers attached to sides of jeep" mod. That will give new definition to doing a driveby/side swipe

Empires have been using something similar like this since ancient times Attaching it to there chariots . Not light sabers OFC. Like in the movie Gladiator, (I don't remember what the attachments were called). I would not be surprised if we see this in the game. By the TFP's or a Modder.

 

[Death2gnomes]

change the color of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reticle, or have a setting for us with eye problems #inconsiderate.

A lightsaber is simply a very efficient cutting tool, in the same way that the bladed edge of a sword or axe was a very efficient cutting tool for its time. We live between these two technology levels. A good contemporary example of an efficient cutting tool would be a chainsaw.

Strapping chainsaws to a vehicle during the zombie apocalypse wouldn't be a bad idea.

Warrior monks armed with chainsaws would also be fun.

 

[The Real Joonbug]

There is a mouse bug with the Valmod forge that needs fixing....

Maybe it's a mouse bug because it's part of VALMOD. Pretty sure you need to go to a valmod forum and talk about this bug.

The white one thats been there forever. I don't think I've played a game where there was an option to change the color of that.
