New vehicle system is coming along!
DLaZ17HU8AEGu8o.jpg


Shawn has been working hard on a new vehicle system! All new real physics, no falling through the world, feels so natural now!

Yes the old stuff is gone, RIP. New physics are great, feels like GTA.

Hopefully [bikes can be painted] at some point. Its very easy to mod in other colors.

Yes please, nice come back Madmole. This would be a very welcomed addition and provides for many possibilities , although I never really had any reliability issues with Minibike in single player. Okay it didn't exactly look cutting edge, but it was certainly functional for sure. Will be interesting to see how you cope going up hill, does it improve your stamina and give you legs over time like Schwarzenegger.

I,m very interested in the possibilities for the bandits/ai players, this would add endless fun!

Okay, would be cool to see any of the following also:

Pet taming

NPC to assist with base protection and maintenance.

Water enhancements, boats, physics, fishing, crop irrigation.

Caves

Behemoth

Zip lines

The hype train is on the go. Keep up the good work. Its much appreciated.

 
So what your suggesting is that while your not planning cars. You are planning to put in 4x4's? Is that it?

Looks to me like that, but ... not just any 4x4 but a BIG ARMORED 4x4. So much can happen here. Strange everybody goes nuts over a bicycle and ignore this.

Because bicycle IS in, 4x4 will maybe in.

And the real part that cheer me is that they start to fix the whole vehicle system.

perhaps cause the bike is pictured in game, while we wait to get excited til they show progress on the 4x4. after all, it is just a different type of automobile from a car and cars are out?

physics rework. means some si changes, possibly water changes? possible corrections that might fix mem leaks?

 
It's barely in so the hud will be appropriate when its more polished. Cars? No. Cars would get stuck and be useless with the conditions of the roads. Big armored 4x4 off road vehicle? Yes.

You had better just behave yourself with teases like that.

You will have half the community in a psych ward by the end of this thread.

...If theres any truth in your statement that would ♥♥♥♥ing amazing O.O"

Uh... Wait wait wait hoooold the friggin phone. Did you just say "Yes" to a big 4x4 off road armored vehicle?! Is this possible in A17? Is Roland not appending this MM comment to the original post because it's a maybe? How is this not THE statement people are latching onto?!

EDIT: Oops. They are. Lol.

What the hell is the general accepted idea of a mem leak and where are there instances of them in 7d2D ?

I see the term thrown around and what i read in tech documents never matches the symptoms described.

Just want to try to understand this mysterious phenomena.

Am there already after reading this post. :excitement:

The minibike is not really something i use, but this would be fantastic.

Not sure if it is the same as what they mean but try this. Look at the mem the game is using then go to prev a map. Do that to 6 or 7 map and then have a look at what your memory stand at. My game go from 6gig memory use to 12gig in just a few maps, then crash!!

If i play 10hrs or more the game, non stop, my game run out of memory. I have 16gig.

I see what you mean about map previewer it doesnt free up the space even when closed and the garbage collector cannot be manually invoked because it simply not loaded.

I have not played any games of real length on Pc and nowhwere near 10 hours, i take it is a well known issue and reports have been made of possibilty of spent resources not being caught by GC even when manually invoked.

Makes me think how do servers cope if this happens generally.

Yes that is weird. lol

When I saw the bicycle. I was like. We waited weeks and all they have is this?

Glad that bikes are no longer going to fall through the earth anymore.

 
OMG Roland, that avatar.

New boss addition confirmed!

14ca159fdab5dc6b38c79180c60c2571.png


I wonder what it will be named. Jefro's Sister Feral?

 
The addition of the bike to me means if it is intended to be an earlier game vehicle it means for players that are not on the high difficulty ramp they can get on quicker and maybe catch lucky breaks more often which in turn means the overall difficulty ramp can be increased a bit to balance things out.

So it is a win win for a lot a players as even if you dont use the bike you might benefit form it being available and part of game difficulty tuning.

Also if tracked vehicles are going to be introduced can we make sure they are using jet turbine powerplants, maybe increase engine wear in the desert to balance things out and make it more realistic.

 
Will we be able to attach a rickshaw to that bike?
I'm asking for Jax...

Question does not seem to be dripping in venom and sarcasm. :)

I like this. A Lot. And a 4x4. YES! Ill take that over a "car" because it fits the world a LOT better and because I'm just looking forward to hurling one off a mountainside cliff for science, of course.

But yeah...so about that rickshaw? And also can we attach mobile ziplines to it?

Asking for..a friend.

 
I think the car is a good idea and should be forced to use the roads, if there are no roads then you have to make them, same way you have to make everything else. This would make the item more complicated and special to use. People already make huge long tunnels.

Great work on the push bike, that would be an awsome find.

I hope you guys throw in more stability / memory saving patch work as well with the new update.
