PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

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

Play Sphereii’s invisible hud mod for a few days and then go back to default. You won’t be able to not see the reticle.

That being said once there is time to do so it would be nice to offer color options if it improves quality of play for those who need it

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.

Vehicle mods involving chainsaws need to be a thing. Seriously. And vehicle-mounted blade traps. We already have those!

Even just the ability to slam the driver's door open to "shield bash" a zombie as you pass them...

A 3rd person view of the zombies ragdolling would be priceless. Imagine flooding YouTube with tens of thousands of zombie-jeeplike impact videos...let's start a meme here people!

Anybody besides me remember Redneck Rampage and the area with chickens and a pickup truck?

Nice! How would we acquire the jeep? Do we build it? Or find a broken down one and find parts for it? Etc.

Any chance of removing the plow from the front of the jeep since it won't even push a two pound cinderblock out of the way or run over an aloe plant that gives way before my foot?

Chances vary. There will be a solution.

I know, I was just hoping I could egg Roland or Gup or someone into giving me one of those classy yet scathing replies which leaves your head spinning, wondering whether or not you were really just insulted.

Please let the Jeep ignore blocks like trash and other small stuff. The mega jump it does when riding on those blocks is a bit un-immersive.

Agreed on the trash. Might not be any trash bags left to loot on some MP servers otherwise.

 

[Anabella]

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.

Maybe while you guys are doing that you can fix it so when it hits a trash bag it flattens and not destroys them so people can still find loot in them in MP. Maybe a different loot list of what would survive being ran over and some broken bits of stuff.

 

[Anabella]

I'm going to be strict for the next few pages to keep things on topic. Please do not ask for release dates. They will not be given. However, you may guess at a release month for A17 here. The poll closes January 31st so if you want to be able to say "I told you so" with proof you only have a smidge more than a week to make your guess.

Speaking of "I told you so"...what'd I say about that Jeep HP bar..... :upset:

I didn't even notice that the first time. I was too busy looking at how the jeep worked.

Never heard of these two. Hm.

MM, on a video with a jeep, the character twists the steering wheel using the appropriate animation. Does this mean that we should expect the appearance of a first-person view from the cabin? In my opinion, the view from the cabin is more atmospheric than the view from the third person

+1 to having first-person as an option when driving vehicles.

 

[Roland]

Just so we don't get any omniscient-person view of the entire world by using the jeep with adjacent terrain in unnatural ways I'm happy with any view we can get.

would be nice to have a "roadmap" or a "want to do" list, like i said before.

just to show a sample: https://rust.facepunch.com/roadmap/

+community polls what we would like to see next

As mention, using the name Jeep in game is probably a copyright violation. Therefore, I hereby nominate that vehicle to be referred to as BAMF.

Please add this logo to rear gate!

I wish jeep kills would count on the zombies kills stats.

I love to kill zombies and have it show on my score :3

I think you are out of luck on that. There is a roadmap but they aren't releasing it to the public. Not even to Rust Buddies....

Hi Guys, I just wanted open up discussion of Alpha 17. Sorry we have been tight lipped about it, but I wanted to try something different this time where we talk about finished or work in progress features rather than stuff we simply planned. This leads to less frustration because usually once something is started we finish it, where its easy to plan a bunch of stuff and have it slip through the cracks, which is disappointing for all of us.
