Can you also set a password for a game so only people that know the password can get in?

yes. It will be exactly the way it is now if you start a mp game on your own computer. All they did was add the pause function to that. If you are alone you will be able to pause but if others are on you won't be able to pause. If you are alone and pause nobody will be able to join until you unpause.

Right now in A16 you can create a MP game and set the number of players, determine if it will show up in the server list (private vs public), and set a password. All of that will be the same for A17 but you will also be able to pause if nobody else is in your game. The SP option will no longer exist because it would be redundant at that point and it will remove the bug that people experience where their SP game suddenly changes to a MP game and resets to Day 1.

Thanks. Your list was complete except for that little point so I just wanted to make sure. :p

 
You might be onto something. The following is a list of food in Katniss Everdeen's home in the Hunger Games:...

As you can see from the red box, there was rotted (spoiled) food. CONFIRMED!!!!

:smile-new:

Jokes aside, the feature will be about bows, obviously, and my guess is about the targeting of other entities. It probably works for NPCs, but when targetting other players they have problems of keeping the other player in sync (i.e. that both players information on the screen is correct or correctly updated).

 
(I can never resist this one)
ahem....

What's updog?

Er...

Ah...

Well you’re a good sport, but that was supposed to churn in the rumor mill until rabid fans are demanding to know what it is.

Don't you mean "Ms. Jackson?"/Nasty

Just hope he'a not yearning for Janet Napolitano in a bikini....

Food spoilage might be it. Would be bad to go hunting and harvesting, leave the game and find your food rotted when you logged back on because the host kept playing.

 
If you don't have the game running then nobody can join.If you do have the game running and set to 1 then nobody can join.

If you do have the game running and set to 2+ but set to private then nobody but friends can join.

If you do have the game running and set to 2+ and pause the game then nobody can join while it is paused.

If you do have the game running and set to 2+ and people are joined then you can't pause while they're there.

If you do have the game running and set to 2+ and you quit then it will kick everyone else from the game.

Thanks Roland. Read both post.

 
Today while I was playing it crossed my mind thisView attachment 23927

- There could be a danger zone (Red Zone) where the zombies appear in heaps (50 to 60 zombies) and walk the streets, out of a base (Point of appearance of dungeon) where the zombies run at all times

-We have to destroy the base so that they stop appearing

-Recompenzas for destroying the bases (Point of appearance of dungeon)

I only ask? Is this possible?

Like State of Decay? I could probably see this happening with a POI but not a block. Just make a POI that has either several Screamers spawn in or make a Super Screamer that calls in a big horde. It would be even cooler if the Screamer POI infected nearby POIs with Screamer that if not taken care of, spread to other POIs eventually taking over a town.

 
Will we still have to loot wrenches and pipes in order to move up through the "tech" system (pipes for the forge and wrenches for the workbench) its not a big deal just would like to know.

Also:

will we be able to invest skill points into getting blueprints?

will there be a purpose for used skill books (temporary exp/crafting bonus for that item)

I ask the last one because it seems possible through the new buff system you seem to be working on.

Heck maybe even adding new books that give temporary boons to combat (such as a technique book, a how to do first aid or something silly like a drunken fist manual that will add boons when you are drunk)

Rented Dedis still work the same as it does now then I assume? This is just a merge of SP and "Co-Op" using the old menu system of Sp MP from the drop downs?

 
Yeh this change really already happened, they're just updating the menu to match.

I think being able to pause in a MP game if you are currently playing solo is new though.

if my friend likewise, that's just what I meant

Sorry for my English

 
With the "unified mp mode", does that mean I'm going to have to connect to a server or something?

How is that going to work? Can I get a link to the post about this, I just saw the update on the OP, and Madmole hasn't posted in a week.
