CannedSmeef Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 There are many little changes, but the major ones that come to mind are the zombie speed boost randomly when taking damage, sleeper volume trigger improvements and player breadcrumbs that AI now use to follow. Breadcrumbs? They're in? Any more details on how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldranon Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 OMG! Well paint me green and call me Kermit! I was just about to turn my back on an INT build... until MM said something and then I started thinking... I'll have to play the game to get the details and the play style would be completely different than any other... BUT there is something powerful there. I don't want to spoil it if I'm right.

Amaitaro Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hadn't seen that. I'll try it in my game and see if I can make a video. Thanks MM, hope TFP working smoothly on A18, can't wait for the update:smile-new: Looking forward on your new looting system, must beat the late-game experience in A17.

madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 ММ, have you thought about making air drops more useful and unique? Here are some ideas: - super loot, which can only be in an air drop and which cannot be created (super antibiotics or unique enhancing drinks, unique schemes or books, special super cartridges or grenades ...) - limited time until the box with loot disappears (did not manage to pick up during the day, the box self-destructs) - maybe the plane drops different boxes with different markings, which need to be opened for a long time, like safes (fortified military boxes with ammunition, fortified medical boxes, fortified box with tools and diagrams, and so on) - the danger of getting an air drop: zombies, wolves, zombie dogs, zombie bears or bandits at the place where the box falls, which constantly arrive at the point until you pick up the loot, and you have to fight back and try to destroy the box and so on ... We already changed it out so they have a chance to drop every major loot group in the game instead of mainly useless food and semi useless drugs. On the list for someday is to make npcs/zeds attracted to them so its not just free amazing loot. It works fine for pvp but for sp coop there needs to be bandits/zeds attracted to the drops.

madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Madmole, who is hotter? Arianny Celeste or Brittany Palmer? I think I'd go with Arianny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Madmole are the random stats independent of each other? ie high gun damage doesn’t affect the accuracy? Like no teeter totter stats? 100% random, so you might find a high damage weapon but it has a small mag, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 MM or anyone who knows: Is there a file/screenshot of all the overhauled perks that we can use to decide early what play through we would be interested in. I know there is a video where you covered them, but I would like to look at them in detail. Thanks. The video would clearly be the best way, as you can pause it and read the descriptions of each rank when I moused over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Great minds think alike... I feel like I just found the car keys only to find out you had the master set. I'll keep pondering. At some point, I hope to be able to help contribute to your game just to show thanks for all the hard work you've already put in. I'll keep trying. No worries, keep trying.

madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I just noticed in the day 88 horde video that there is a gear icon beside each piece of gear that I presume contains mods in it. I was just going to request that very feature for a future release (it's so annoying selling your own gear by mistake), but it seems it has already been covered. Good change. Yes, you'll notice my pink goggles in the video, these I dyed pink so I know they are "the good ones". The modded gear icon is a great addition.

madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I generally hate writing them but I like this game a lot. No, More loot the better especially if it is a material you can't craft. As for A18 I don't want to come off as I hated everything I have seen. I stand by my statements about A16 but yes it had A ton of jank and needed to be changed. All things being said I can't wait for A18. Good deal, I'm sure you will enjoy it the looting never ends, or at least has a long long lifespan now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faatal Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Breadcrumbs? They're in? Any more details on how it works? It is just a circular array (32 entries) of player positions updated every 1m the player moves. Zombies when they hear you, pick a random value from the current breadcrumb location up to AINoiseSeekDist back in the array and investigate that position. The typical zombie uses: <property name="AINoiseSeekDist" value="8"/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I’m curious what kind of craters would result from changing the .1 to a 1.1 for Explosion.DamageBonus.Earth.... 5 meters. I never liked the swiss cheese of alpha 11 ish zombies that burrowed under your fort, and imagine using explosives that tore teh ground up the whole world would be compromised.

madmole Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Big. These settings are similar to the cop. What's stompspikes? I think it means spikes don't slow him down, he just flattens that crap like a freight train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestInPieces Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Some things we will try but not committed to are: Head and eye tracking [...] Awesome - I think head/eye tracking and a couple of animations, like some minor stumbling/losing balance, to make their (already great) walking animation less monotonous, will improve the zombie experience dramatically. Here's to hoping that you manage/decide to implement them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rassilon Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Devs stopped breaking save games daily so I can. I have to say I love the late game, I used to just have them mastered by day 28 or 35 and quit, now I'm building a new horde base just to see what happens Having you playing Lategame ( or the game at all for longer time) is the best thing players can have. Now the View of Point of a Developer and the one of a Player meet and thats good for all of us Im glad youre doing that & visiting the Forum frequently. Last Horde Video was awesome and intense. Nobody needs to watch Horror Movies anymore^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepcwiz101 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Yeah that would be a nice way to summon a mini horde we always thought. This would be similar to how the zombies behave in days gone. It's more realistic but it would require more resources to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake_ Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The death star will be complete when the horde arrives.... It is actually impressive to see you try that design. Quick view of the capture and... spoiler alert man, they will go for the supports and you will die pretty fast, but we will have a blast watching it! Of course . I'm kidding. With demolishers in it will not be fast, it will be pure enternainment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
