archergod Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Nice work. Looks exactly how I would expect it. I don't really like Asphalt texture.. maybe it is color or cracks are too sharps.. I don't know, but something is not correct there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Cool. So will A18 have 3 tiers of crossbows, or are they considered 'extra' bows? There are T2 / T3 crossbows. A primitive crossbow would be called... a bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldranon Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 There are T2 / T3 crossbows. A primitive crossbow would be called... a bow. So a T4 crossbow would be called... a Pistol with silencer. "Pew Pew!" Wait! Thats not right: "Pew Pew!" Ok then. What's a T5 crossbow? a Terminator with a Pistol? I'm here to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gronk Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 There are T2 / T3 crossbows. A primitive crossbow would be called... a bow. A crossbow without the cross isn't a crossbow. A crossbow without the bow is a stick. :-) Why not have some sort of repeating crossbow as tier 3? It's about the only technological advancement available for the weapon other than materials, size and sights. A huge, slow loading, crossbow would also be an idea. A heavy weapon version of the standard idea. - - - Updated - - - So a T4 crossbow would be called... a Pistol with silencer. "Pew Pew!" Wait! Thats not right: "Pew Pew!" Ok then. What's a T5 crossbow? a Terminator with a Pistol? I'm here to help! "Detritus's weapon of choice is a crossbow called the Piecemaker which he modified himself. It was originally a 2000-lb-draw siege crossbow firing a large iron rod. It is now a crossbow that fires a large bundle of ordinary wooden arrows at a significant fraction of local light speed. Generally anything it is fired at is disintegrated, along with anything else behind it, and finds good use in opening up an entrance to a building, as well as an exit, with the same shot." https://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Detritus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliphas the Inheritor Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 New wip Asphalt texture! Madmole, I don't understand how can you be so chill when butthurts complain about you improving textures instead of fixing bugs and everything, when you said 100 times that it's your job to do that and that there are other people fixing bugs. BTW, nice to hear the compound crossbow is coming in A18, I thought it will come way way later. Can't wait to see the model and animations. Daryl Dixon FTW!

Katitof Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Ideally we want 3 tiers of all weapons, so Ak, assault rifle, m60. How would that work with pistols? 3 semi autos and 3 revolvers? Pistols really do need some love as its pointless to have them once you have AK or sniper. Edit: Pistols have the SMG now, so it can somewhat compete with the Ak, and ammo is dirt cheap. 44 blows holes through stuff, so yeah it depends on play style tbh. Pistols can work in the shadows well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kage848 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 We've put more into balance in this build than probably 10 builds combined. Oh you can spec early? Had to slow leveling dramatically for that to make sense. It was a great move though. I gain about 1 level a day so perks are eagerly spent and you have time to relish each age a bit (stone, iron, steel). I'm not super thrilled about slow leveling. But there is 2 upsides to it. 1 I can raise the exp % 2 lower gamestage for longer means you dont need as many levels. Now that's balance people!

It would then make the pistol a better weapon for room clearance than the assault rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would then make the pistol a better weapon for room clearance than the assault rifle. I wouldn't go anywhere without my 9. Nicely modded out it's fine for like 80% of threats and ammos is so cheap (mostly free in loot). Using the AK or Marksmen or 44 on vanilla nurses is such a waste IMO. Of course I do keep one of those handy for the other 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburglar Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Jeez man could u stop adding stuff and just release! (not asking for a release date) Literally everyone is waiting in anticipation. It will eventually fade out and ppl will stop caring. (as my friends have, sadly) Bypassing a release date estimation and afterwards completely disregard the need and existance of it is a big deal for a player community. (you know, those overwhelming majority that come here to read and don't participate in the discussion) There is more than enough stuff for an update (unless this is planned to leave alpha (at long ♥♥♥♥ing last)).

sillls Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Oh dayum! I must have missed that one. The sidewalks make a HUGE difference on the look/feeling of the streets! Looking forward to this on its own ���� Sidewalks! ...wait, were those always in the game? �� Sidewalks are new! First showed back in May: Your wrong. Sidewalks have been in the game at least as far back as Alpha 9.3 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DsIRrweUKp0/maxresdefault.jpg But they do seem to stand out more in Alpha 18.

sillls Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 These are new sidewalks, we used to paint them on terrain but due to shader issues with the new splat map shader we decided to make 3d ones to free up texture space on the splat map for more important stuff, plus they look nicer. Thanks. They do look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the impoliteness Ok, so let's assume that you're referring to the cosmetic additions (dye toning, asphalt texture, etc.) You have to understand that these things are not holding up the release of A18, these are things being worked on by the artists while the programmers are still finishing their work. Now the game definitely shouldn't be released until the coding has been finished otherwise it'll be full of bugs and, even worse, features that are not ready. So with that in mind do you really think the artists should down tools and put their feet up while the rest of the team carries on working?

beerfly Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 No, a T4 crossbow is something like this: This is gorgeous piece of ..it is art. Indeed, would be cool to have a high tier crossbow with lets say 10 preloaded arrows. But new models, stuff, balance.. we already have what we need, gotta learn use it properly in the new balanced world.

-Holo- Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Alpha 18 looks really promising! Has there been any thougths on having a togglebutton/checkbox in the different crafting UI's to switch between Show all recipies (like now) and Show only this workstations recipies (like earlier Alphas) ? I feel that I don't generally need to see every possible recipie but only the ones I can craft in the particular crafting station, while occasionally it's nice to checkup if a recipie is known or what it needs for ingredients. /Holo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum123456789 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 i will also note that in certain spots of railings or blocks the zombies ai will kinda have a hard time getting past it properly because in certain areas in random gen zombies will be awoken and then they will follow that block along instead of following me straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum123456789 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 also in this certain garage poi when the zombies wake up they will instantly start pounding on the car that is in there im not sure if that is intended or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
