You've been peeking in at the s̶e̶a̶n̶c̶e̶s̶ ...uh...team meetings.

A17 might come out faster with a sacrifice. Anyone have a virgin sister or daughter they'd be willing to give for the cause?

Roland,

With the line on first page stating that Bandits have been postponed until A18, does this mean that Bandits are planned as a major focus for A18 or is this just speculative?

 
This is why I don't buy performance as a valid issue as to why they map got smaller. I mean if were talking console yes, but pc? hell no.

RWG now creates and saves data in the same format as Navezgane. That was done to speed up RWG chunk loading, which we needed for vehicles moving faster than chunk generation, which pauses movement and it just plain helps with many people on a server in different areas causing chunk loads.

The RWG changes are not even done yet, so what sizes it will support besides 8k has not even been determined.

Have we not progressed in the last few centuries such that we can use a virgin brother or son? I only ask because I've got a brother that I wouldn't mind getting rid of, and I'm pretty certain that he's still a virgin.

 
That's not what he's saying. Let me put it this way. "The game only supports up to 8 players maximum."

Does this mean there are no servers out there with more than 8 players? No. It means that on the options menu you can only select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 players but that has no bearing on what you can do in the xmls.

He is saying that the change hasn't been made. If the pregeneration time is acceptable for a 10k x 10k area then maybe the game will support both 8k x 8k and 10k x 10k in the options menu. If not and 8k is the only supported size it still doesn't mean that people won't be able to mod it differently.

At least that is what I took from the comment.

Let's not jump right to "The Sky is Falling!" assumptions. :)

Ok, so you confirmed that the size is still moddable. Thanks

 
Do you know how annoying millions of reports is for bugs that are already known?

Especially since people often don't look to see if a bug was already reported and discussed, but just post about it again.

but.. but.. but.. come on... doesnt 100 of the same bug report make things get fixed faster? :) oooops

 
What kind of an argument is picking one aspect of a popular game and saying 7 days should do it that way just because that game did?
Click to expand...
Skyrim was an example. My argument was:

Having no cap allows you to play as A, B or C, or everything. Having a cap only allows you to play as A, B or C. You are not enhancing gameplay, you are restricting it.

Everything about A18 and beyond is speculative. Just for a frame of reference Bandits were postponed to Alpha 15 and then to Alpha 16 and then to Alpha 17 and now to Alpha 18.

The devs had better AI and pathing listed on the old loading screens back in Alpha 7. It just took a decade of alphas for faatal to arrive...

Kind of....I hope so....

The change hasn't happened yet so I can't test it. Right now it is a single value to change-- the radius. Once it goes to a square there will be two values and perhaps more to it since the nature of the pregeneration will be changing to match how Navezgane does it. Once the change is implemented I'll try it out and see if it is something that is simple enough for me to figure out or beyond my very limited skills.

Exactly. The code has a number for the size. Does 9k work? Maybe? Still being developed and tested.

Pessimist - I know 8k is not good enough. It will probably format c:!

Optimist - This is amazing! Any size?!? 4096 light year cubic maps!

Realist - We will all know when we finish it, test it, play it.

 
For the next time bug reporting happens what if you did a front page like you do on the dev diary, that way we can see if its been reported and/or corrected, thats my idea, and thanks for responding roland, i know its just more direct skills but it will let me play more as a character class if i am joined by others for as far as prioritizing what to get during level ups lol.
