PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

I would like the inclusion of the mechanical keyboard...

Mad Mole Troll: Add the mechanical keyboard sounds to the game! Agro-ing zombies and players alike!

 

[CyKoSYC]

OMG!!!..... if they can't be placed with a Bow/Crossbow.... It will be a waste of time to make work right.....
just in case you go "why?"

Scenario:

You are on a building with tons of Zombies surrounding you..you want to go from one building to another "with your Zipline"

So because you can't place it with a well placed Crossbow or bow shot...you have to run all the way to the bottom of the building "With a Tool anyways" to place it then run all the way to the top again just to use it.

Mind you in turn your running threw Zombies anyways...you might as well not place it.....and just leave......

So unless its done right..its worthless.....

and if i hurt anybody feelings putting it this way...too bad..get a life...

- - - Updated - - -

the Modding forums have Awesome programmers also...but you know.....

i like your scenario and i would assume its for one player, but how about if you are playing with a group and the fastest person or someone that can run longer without getting winded go and do it while the others are still on the roof....

not all garage doors are or were, overhead and for those of us who were around... they used to be simple 1 and 2 swinging doors on hinges and some garages didnt have doors and.... we didnt have to lock our house doors back in the day. ooops sorry, didnt mean to share something that most of you dont care to know or believe.

I do think the swing door on garages look better, easier to fix and less parts that break, just a couple hinges and a latch.

 

[Ouch Quit It]

Back to garage doors...I feel they need to be enlarged to 4 blocks to be the same width as the drawbridge....

Carry on

Coughs * Video * Coughs

 

[Royal Deluxe]

Additional a 4 Broad 3 High Door would be cool btw.

 

[dcsobral]

If you are going to make wide doors, just please make at least one odd-sized one!

Mad Mole Troll: Add the mechanical keyboard sounds to the game! Agro-ing zombies and players alike!

Nah, but the game might get sold as a bundle with a mechanical keyboard.

 

[Wardronex]

One more thing real quick a Gyrocopter?? Really?

Well at least those complaining about people nerd-poling with frames will provably lay off on that matter.

Heck! I bet they will be begging to remove the gyrocopter and saying the frames were fine.

Here are some official images from A17 that Madmole posted on his twitter feed. I'm reposting them here since they are A17 related and I will place a link in the OP so that people will see how this thread will work going forward:
Here is a new wallpaper that Joel created for A17.

Here is the model for a new trader going into A17.

Wow what a wallpaper... you guys are serious trying to get us out of our base... I think a maze would be nice in pvp with this wallpaper, driving the attacker mad ^^ Seriously, it´s realy nice for an old farmhouse with granny zombie in a chair

 

[beerfly]

Game pretty much goes better and better, part of developing such a complex framework working on voxel system. When Pimps finish it they can add pretty much whatever they want. No, not what we want , cuz its gonna be a mess. Radiation already did it. Keep up Pimps. Thank you Roland for the info

 

[SurvivalUK]

Here is a new wallpaper that Joel created for A17.

Wow that's amazing wallpaper, blown way! Can't wait for A17 if that is what it brings, well worth the wait.

 

[beerfly]

Wow that's amazing wallpaper, blown way! Can't wait for A17 if that is what it brings, well worth the wait...

Yes ? Me too bro, but I cant wait for the next 99% of the stuff that`s gonna be added furthermore this wallpaper. Impatient ? Hell yes

First of all for the most part the game is AMZING and you Pimps are doing great job ! Listing everything the is great would be too long to read no the negative point of view is faster.

Pure unfiltered feedback (aka _MY_ opinion):

New Cave System = nice

Lock Picking System = nice new feature

Zip Lines = ghad no ! Are you also adding skateboard ramps ? Cowabunga man ! But seriously: thank you for allowing servers to opt out of it. well done !

AI improvements with Breadcrumb system = Amazing, finally !

Bandits = Meh !

MoCap 2.0 = Yawn. Why, because everyone else is doing it ?

Quest Overhaul = Or just remove them.

Stealth 2.0 = Great ! Are you going to actually finish this one and fix it's bug or make jsut a buggy 3.0

Food Overhaul possibly with spoilage = not sure if that is fun, usually it is just too much micro management. Why try for "realism" if you got lava demons, flying skeletons and Orc king (aka. behemoth) and auto turrets and zip lines.

Behemoth = f**k no. If I wanted to play Wow I could just play WoW.

New Vehicles: Bicycle, Hog, Gyropcopter = Nice.

Tamed Wolf Companion = Oh, F**k no! Again if I wanted play WoW or some other generic MMO, I would have bought them. You sold me a SURVIVAL game !

Neutral NPC survivors/communities = WHY !!?!??! The engine and it's AI can not even cope with existing entity amounts. Every animal and npc is one less Zombie the server can process !!!

Block Selection Tool = ?

Dead is Dead Mode = Nice feature. IF 80% of deaths were not due to buggy spawn teleporting enemies spawns at hitting distance to the player.

Horde Mode = Horde mode ? like the old Horde game mode ?

Run during day/Walk during night option = All customization is great.

Electricity 2.0 = Still have never used the electricity 1.0 in the 200 hours I have played A16

Sleepers 2.0 = ok, spawn has been seriously bugged since A9 or something. Instead of actually fixing it you can keep adding new spawn system each more buggy than the last one.

Distant shrubbery (Niii...!) = Really good, I hope that includes trees. Currently the distant draw is like x-ray vision showing all cities.

Water Overhaul = ok, although I do not see the point. Sure it s little buggy but it very little if any effect on game play.

Flamethrower Trap = (roll eyes) Sure, why not it gives you option of playing Spy Vs. Spy - mini game.

Duke of Navezgane and Casino = All new map content is great, although you could increase Neverganez map size it's getting a bit crowded.

Additional adventure POI's = All new map content if great.

Is that a new couch ? Or it seems better than the old one

negative i just checked a15.2b8 stable and it wasnt. you had me scared there as i did remember this when it was added (thought i was losing my mind again).

 

[Royal Deluxe]

Damn, memory is female dog. ^^

 

[sinda]

i swear i remember that model in a15 also, we're all crazy. might have only been a chair though.

Are you absolutely positive it is not just a re-texture on a old couch? wasn't it green and more brown?

I could almost swear it is. but then again I am very old and starting to lose my mind a bit more each day.

#CouchGate

Im still waiting for the cellar/storm doors that swing outward so we can properly make basements and doors on our underground caves.

Distant shrubbery? But wouldn't that cover up the distant POIs we have come to love and appreciate?
