would be cool to have blood spilled on the ground or walls, a gore fiesta. I imagine it would ruin performance tho

Devs I reinstalled the game recently and reminded of one issue with big modded Pois: game loading the "distant" version of the Poi when Im inside it, creating those air blocks with a placeholder texture.

While I know modded content is not supported, I wonder if changing the way custom Pois are rendered from afar had a side effect on this. Does anyone know? 😁

[Alpha 20 Dev Diary]

I didnt want to play anyway  🥲

 

Gonna sleep and hope to wake up in 3 weeks. Just know that I appreciate your communication guys 😁

Don't worry guys, the QA team is working tirelessly to find more MF bugs.

technically you are not wrong 😐

I dont remember the usual time gap between the announcement and the streamer weekend actually happening, like.. 2 weeks?
the announcement of the exact date I mean

*before someone asks, they didnt announce a date yet. Im just curious as for how long I can be sure its not happening 😁

we can't either, trust me 😁

 

making plans and more plans already!

[Alpha 20 Dev Diary]

Thats for sure. Impossible to appeal to everyone, they are doing great on whats possible. My only complaint ever was removing something that we couldnt implement back - and that wasnt a performance issue -.

 

About traders I do think it gives too much to the player without major consequences, I personally edited a lot of stuff on my server. Maybe gonna release it as a mod once A20 is around. Thats part of whats easily modifiable so I dont think its a real issue for the devs to work on. There's no right or wrong there.

[Alpha 20 Dev Diary]

and zip l.. oh

anyone that watched today's stream, did they give any update on how its progressing?

 

[Thank you to everyone who tuned in and took part in the A20 Dev Stream Series!]

was this the last stream for this cycle?

[Alpha 20 Dev Diary]

any idea if the game stage boosts from different biomes gonna be moddable/exposed in the xml? appreciate any info regarding this

[Alpha 20 Dev Diary]

melee weapons are not amazing for their damage, but the utility they bring with stun/knock down is great. Many players stick to melee weapons to the late stages of the game. Spear lacks some way of controlling enemies and thats why it sucks so hard compared to all other options.

Sledgehammers + heavy armor are the biggest offenders, people never die.

edit: they also scale very well with the chance to dismember/ explode heads.

[A20 Developer Diary Discussions]

how do you feel about 19.5, we close or something major to fix?😃

[(A19) WalkerSim - Enhanced roaming zombies]

hey zeh, do you still work on this? or plan to work for it once a20 drops?

[Alpha 20 Dev Diary]

are there plans to add a new zombie to the snow biome, to diverse from the lumberjack?

[Possible Bug - Phantom Blocks - I Believe It's a Long-Known Problem]

it never happened in other scenarios. Its pretty consistent, only compo pack, only those few huge pois.
I'm gonna try half textures. I always assumed it was something wrong with the POI instead, but no one trusts me 😐

@danielspoa honestly I'm not even sure on the cause of it besides running on HDD *usually* and, for whatever reason, Nitrogen has more consistent imposter issues (why? I really don't know lol but it sticks longer). Perhaps... try lowering textures to half (or full if < full), max (or lower to min if maxed) your view distance, turn occlusion on or off. Shooting in the dark kinda.

 

If you do have some time to steam tomorrow (and I do too, not sure) shoot me a DM it sounds like you can consistently reproduce it. I can't to save my life since upgrading to my new system with an M.2 SSD. I have plans on running on a HDD on the same computer to see if that makes a glaring difference.

I use a SSD, but I do play on a nitrogen map, thats true. Nitrogen + compopack, this happens to me only in big POIs, two specifically.
I can stream at any point, share screen on discord or whatever. Its consistent.

I play with full textures but most other config at a low setting.

[Possible Bug - Phantom Blocks - I Believe It's a Long-Known Problem]

guys, Im pretty much desperated at this point. There are some huge and beautiful pois Im yet to explore.

what is driving me crazy is how everyone says "pois" helped, yet I cant even use it. Everytime I use it I get "distant pois not active". And if I use it again, I get the exact same message.
Theres no on/off, true/false, 1/0. Its just always inactive and although it says that the phantom blocks are there.

I can even stream if needed, just looking for guidance working around this

radiated unicorns when? hopes for the water being ready for a20

[FreakUK's Modlets]

hey.. Im using the chicken coop, love it!
I got an error recently tho which made some of them go invisible:

Block on position -1881, 41, 388 with name 'FRK_Coop_Full' should be a parent but is not!

any idea on this?
thank you

[Vanilla Firearms Extended]

I would use for my dedi server, which means making those changes available for download to its players. I do upload resources but not the xml tho, so my mods are never functional outside my server.

I wouldnt distribute them as part of any other modlet either.

[Vanilla Firearms Extended]

guys, are we allowed to modify the textures? would have to work on adapting those to PBR, at least at a basic level

Not presently, we didnt know that might be an issue.  

I dont know how much of an issue it is. Im worried for performance and for losing that aspect of survival if u have a bunch of mercenaries around (I dont know how many u can have, I just tested if u could get more than one :P)

My idea was to limit to 1 per player, specially for dedi server. Whats ur opinion on it?

[A19 NPCs DMT Mod]

Xyth, is there a way to limit the amount of survivors you can hire?

[A19e Nitrogen - UNSTABLE]

^
not op but I tried that and didnt work. Im admin of the dedi server. Client players cant do it either

 

gonna fire the game to see the exact message

I'm starting to wonder if he's holding off, 19.2 experimental has a new map mechanic to improve performance.
TFP is adjusting the Microsplat, and i wonder if it's going to break things further like their new reader they brought when Stable dropped.
When that reader came in, Nitrogen started to act up and the maps started to come out with more flaws than normal.
Perhaps TFP is making more map mechanic changes and Damo's just waiting to knock 'em all out at once?

he disappeared before any mention to this, didnt he?
I just hope everything is well.
