Pille Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I doubt it's the graphic ... Hard to say. As you know, electrical networks have a simple tree structure in 7 Days. That shouldn't be very expensive even if not optimized. But ofc I could be wrong.^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haidrgna Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hard to say. As you know, electrical networks have a simple tree structure in 7 Days. That shouldn't be very expensive even if not optimized. But ofc I could be wrong.^^ I think Prime explained it in the last A18 stream, the more connected elements the more cpu the polls that happen along the network each time cost. Especially trigger plates were expensive and best should be used with caution. I also doubt the wire would cause to much perfomance issues unless there are tons of them, but then the amount of network calls would likely still outweight them. Tho not sure they also poll when the system has no power... Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieSurvivor Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 <snip> Holy crap talk about over kill lol. I was thinking on a normal server. I believe in that case. I'm not going to test something that would never happen on the servers i play on. If you feel it causes lag maybe it does, do you mean lag or a drop in FPS? That looks like it might cause a drop in FPS when looking at it but server wide lag, not sure about that. either way this honestly doesn't interest me as i do not and have never played on servers that have this kind of stuff built. Thanks for the pics though, i see where you were coming from now EDIT: just wanted to clarify, i doubt its wires that would cause server wide lag, it would be pressure plates, the amount of generators etc. that eats up CPU server side. EDIT 2: I just re-read what you said, nevermind we are basically on the same page lol. yeah not wires but everything else. agreed P.S. if you are the one that built that electrical sign, I give you props! Very impressive. I thought I was a mad man when it came to wiring up stuff, you make me and my skills look like sh*t compared to yours lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survager Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Meh. I have enough food for 50 people, but that might change muahahahahaa. Food poisoning is back and it empties your stomach from throwing up, so finally I can have a use for my 5000 pounds of food. Canned food has no chance for food poisoning, but all cooked and raw food have a small chance that something rotten got in there. MM, I have two questions for your post: 1. Can the chance of poisoning decrease with the purchase of cooking skills, or maybe there are new poisoning resistance perks? 2. Will vomiting animation or other poisoning effects be added?

Demonoid74 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I also would have to chime in and say leave the wires as they are...it fits the theme and primitive post apocalyptic vibe and if you want them hidden...just takes a little extra planning and building , not difficult . Also Madmole are there any book sets that are in , or are planned to further augment Unarmed and punching things to death? Either way , definitely looking forward to using an Unarmed build in A18!

Drunknmunkey Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I don't post cuz I usually get in trouble. Regarding demolish zeds. If I could make a suggestion. Just repurpose a regular zed with red instead of green color to test the mechanics. New wire frames and such are enough of a pain. Might just check what is known and works with a new dynamic to see if it actually works. Yall have probably already though of this but, if not, just a thought. Could even just add it if the new wire frame needs work before release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunknmunkey Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Again, not trying to ruffle feathers but coyotes and mountain lions seems like a waste of time at this point. A weaker version of a wolf and a stronger version of the wolf but weaker than a bear. Eh, I would think other priorities would be more important than a visual extention of the environment when animals are scarce in online play to begin with and zero extra resources for a new species. Not sure coyote ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s and mountain lion whiskers are good for anything. I think the MOCAP would be more of a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieSurvivor Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 <snip> Interesting, I've never seen anyone against more animals being added. The more the better. Helps with immersion. I remember back years ago when there were only a few models of zombies and everyone kept asking MM for more veriety and he felt there was no point. obviously he changed his mind and added more, not sure if players nagging changed his mind or just the fact the original idea for....i cannot remember what it was called, failed and the opportunity arose so he took advantage of it and added more z models. The more the better i think. EDIT: Could you imagine just 1 animal?..... how horrible that would have been, oh wait...lol P.S. your in big trouble again! ha ha just joking. Don't worry about the haters or people that disagree with you. If you have a suggestion or opinion voice it my dude. Unless you keep getting in trouble with the devs or mods in that case. *I slowly turn around and walk away as if this conversation never happened* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Quit It Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I don't think it will change much, just how much stew I carry in case I random barf. Will there be a barf animation? Coughs * Barf * Coughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunknmunkey Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I'm not against it. I just feel as though other things should be a priority. I wouldn't mind more animals but, they are really annoying on a server. They rarely spawn. And lets be honest, rabbits and chickens are basically pointless to hunt. They disappear with the current graphics and their yield is so small you're better off checking 6 cupboards for can of chili. Unless it's a deer, or I'm lvl 10 or higher for wolves I won't bother with animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Any changes to very early game cooking? Stuff that may not require a Cooking Pot? Boil an egg in a Can...? No and stop asking for multiple ways to do things. Find a cooking pot, problem solved. Crafting food is faster with cooking perks and schematics can be found for people not wanting to buy cooking perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmole Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 will books to unlock a perk so that we can craft schematics ever be added In? just kinda weird loosing a schematic when you use it to craft an item. then again I don't know if the schematic is still lost since I stopped getting the perks for schematic tiers for that reason. Schematics are no longer "ingredients" in recipes but you learn the recipe forever now when reading a schematic (like a16 and below). The schematic is consumed in the process, so that people cannot share ones so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Any update for us regarding the amount of MF'ers, oh holiest of moles? You don't even want to know, was close to 90 this morning. I killed 9 out of 10 today, well passed a couple to other people because I couldn't figure them out, but I kicked some butt. Just made a fresh steaming cup of coffee and fresh cup of A18b91 to sink my teeth into. Logged into a nicely lit base instead of a rage quitting ♥♥♥♥ show.

meganoth Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Care to elaborate how its wrong? everything you said after "wrong" had nothing to do with my statement. I use wires, if they are not hidden, while i'm raiding to locate the power source and or traps thus making it easier to defeat a poorly designed base. P.S. you can hide wires in a single 1 meter block by the way. I do not use double walls to hide wires, I use creativity in order to hide all mine with a 1 block wall.... FYI Sorry, the "wrong" was only about your last sentence: "I do agree they serve no purpose in single player or pve though." I play 4 player co-op (and seldom SP). And I used raised floors to hide the wires even though it wasn't on a PvP server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunknmunkey Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 So, again, again, not trying to annoy anyone. I appreciate MM and TFP, I love this game. 2,000+ hours playing. It's forever alpha and will always be alpha. Come to terms with the creators will never be happy and neither will the people who play. Aaand round and round we go. Cool for us actually. Infinite updates, I'm down =) It's like a new game every year, sorta. Just a thought, don't ban me plz. I blame the tequila? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trankitas Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Will there be a barf animation? Coughs * Barf * Coughs And if it is, please make it deactivatable, barf sounds/animations make some people sick (like me ) DayZ anyone?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You kinda just dissed The Fun Pimps with what you just said. New advice, think before you post. *walks away like we never spoke* The wires serve the purpose of making the player take extra effort to hide them. I talk about purpose for the game, while you define purpose narrowly only for the avatar in the game. oooooo......k thats a purpose.... hmmm.. roger that. avatar....hmm...*scratches head in bewilderment* good talk, take care dude.

meganoth Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Again, not trying to ruffle feathers but coyotes and mountain lions seems like a waste of time at this point. As far as I know mountain lions were announced in the kickstarter for this game, so including them is sort of crossing them off an important list. Also artists and animators (who probably have to do most of the work for the lions and coyotes) can't do the job of other specialists like the programmers. So if there are no lions to do they would just sit around and drink coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
