sillls Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I’m going to go out on a limb and say that most people close in to hit zombies more than is needful. Just as you can open cupboards from weird distances you can also hit zombies from farther away than you think (unless you are already in the habit of hitting them from the outside edge of your range) I have found that I am getting better at hitting them from a greater distance rather than getting right up in their grill because now I have to do it if I want to avoid their hits. It’s taken some adaptation but I am almost back to my previous level of being able melee without getting hit. In A16 being able to sprint backwards meant you could be pretty sloppy with your attack range and still avoid being hit. In A17 you need to be more precise or pay the consequences. I find that the best way to learn how to fight is to simply get on with it. Fighting zombies with whatever you have on hand or with nothing at all but your bare hands. I have learned a lot doing that and am doing so well that I don't even use the kite method anymore. How to hit and were to hit and when. To me it's an art. It also helps me level up quicker to.

audi0slave04 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 About Zombies respawning "bug" Hello everyone, this is my first post here but I read this forum a lot. Watching madmole's last videos I came up with an idea for "fixing" the respawning bug. I'll try to explain it as best as I can since English is not my first language. 1- The game saves the DateTime when a POI is activated. (I think that's ocurrs when a player enter to the POI area, right?) 2- The POI gets a random ID and every zombie belonging to that POI gets the same POI ID. 3- When you get out from the POI zone, you have X time until the zombies are respawned (it can be even an option to be modded). This way, if you, by any reason, had to get out from a POI and there are zombies with that POI's ID still alive and the MaxTimeUntilRespawn (nice var name) hasn't been reached yet, then the zombies doesn't respawn. Sorry if I'm not being myself clear, or if this sounds like a really bad idea, not sure how it could affect the game performance wise, just throwing my two cents!

dhlmaster Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 LOL 1up'd nice one! - - - Updated - - - I hope everyone is doing well today/tonight. What craziness is everyone up to in their games as they countdown to 17? Any last minute crazy things people are trying to do? I just started a new world. I settled down in a spot that is far from the traders and towns. Don't have a minibike yet, so I'm spending a lot of time just trying to move around and find interesting things in the wilderness. I did one loot run to a town that took half the day to get there. I ended up being out after dark unintentionally, and that was an adventure.

4sheetzngeegles Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 now i can understand, probably an old translation years ago when i had to use google translator more often i got very odd translation most of the time I remembered most of the name and found the book. http://sdcc.vn/template/997_Brand_Failures_-_The_Truth_About_the_100_Biggest_Branding_Mistakes_of_All_Time.pdf Its a good read, but don't read it while drinking.

Crater Creator Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 another one ? these few pages are all taking about glue ? whats up ? In a nutshell, zombies won't turn into corpse blocks in A17. Users (along with TFP) are contemplating the repercussions, such as the reduction in bones for glue, and what to do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crater Creator Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Can we just stop changing the avatar theme? I get so attached to certain avatars. Yeah, sticking with one until A17 releases seems right. It's like a playoff beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmole: Go on Brains.. Brains: Well have you heard of the cascade effect? Madmole: I think so yeah, why? Brains: Well changing the shaders at the same time as we reskinned the baby deer and added those cool bumper stickers to the jeep <Fataal high fives Roland> kinda caused a cascade effect so that every time you hit anything the screen goes black if there are any trees on the screen AND for some reason we dont understand the auger sound plays max volume for about 30 seconds and then.. Madmole: there is a ''and then'' ?????????? Roland: Then the game crashes and causes Windows to take a ♥♥♥♥ The Fun PImp: IT BLUESCREENS WINDOWS MM Roland: <Gazes raptly at The Fun Pimp> Kinjayuu: I told you.. Madmole: Told me what?

Fataal: If i was cynical I would say you only fought for that change because Kinjayuu vetoed your ziplines and you knew it was gonna screw him up man Roland: <looks smug> Madmole: Ok ok enough, how long will it take to fix the bugs you mentioned Fataal? Fataal: Weeellllll..IF we roll back the bumper stickers AND the 43rd reskin on the deer we are back to where we were in June and that was about 4 weeks from experimental Madmole: I need experimental this weekend for those whiny streamers, you wouldnt beleive the IM's I am getting ''Oh my audience need to see this, where is my exclusive access build!, you're costing me money man!''

Madmole: man we ALWAYS put out unfinished buggy garbage for the first iteration, its how we get some payback on those entitled little ♥♥♥♥ers on the forum, we bathe in their salty tears of frustration for a week or two then give them most of the fixes to stop the noise but, trust me, its worth it for the angst ''Oh noes i spent 2 days on my base and then a dog bit it and it fell down, fix this ♥♥♥♥!!''..♥♥♥♥ing priceless man, trust me, after a while you need the release Fataal: Soooo..you want me to use chewing gum, sticking plaster and bodges to get it out by friday...even if its bollocks?

cnconrad Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 faatal I am sure this has been asked but I have not seen the final answer. Are 4 piller bases still zombie proof? I havent built one in a while but as long as you build 4 blocks off the ground you can build a base that never gets attacked. Has that changed any?

4sheetzngeegles Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think 4 different people have contributed to stealth code, settings and UI, one of which is not longer at the company. I don't know without looking, because I have not seen what the UI is doing to show it. Thank you Faatal, I do like the bar indicator though. For me will be helpful for night hunting, I only bring my timid animals out at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamida Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 No. The next game is about jumping higher. Each jump you gain more altitude. At a 1000 jumps you will be in orbit. We then give you a giant plastic sheet so you can collect solar radiation and leave the solar system. If you let the game run for 80 years, you will be in Alpha Centauri. You then use your sheet to parachute onto this lovely earth like planet only to discover it is occupied by millions of zombie dinosaurs. After collecting tree branches and some crystal stuff for 10 minutes, you can build a death ray to destroy the zombies and rid the universe of their evil. You are so happy, but you die in the process, both in the game and of old age. Is it ready yet? I want to stream it this weekend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthjake Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I usually don't have an issue with my stilt bases. Flagstone can be done 7 wide, I have not checked cobblestone because usually I make from flagstone then upgrade. The next level base is concrete with can be 10 wide, ***but*** you have to let the wet cement dry before building out more then 5 or 6 I think. Rebar Frames that you upgrade work too, but be sure to fill them in and don't just try to make rebar all the way across or you will lose your frames to gravity. I want to say when I'm building bridges that my upgraded rebar went out to 12 before I made another support, but I can't recall right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnconrad Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Depends how big it is. Right now they will seek blocks in the general area if you are above them and they can't get to you. Make it big enough and they won't find the supports, but would it collapse at that size? Never tried a huge stilt structure, so don't know if SI would collapse it or not. Sounds good i dont need the zombies to be civil engineers, i enjoy outsmarting them. But i want to be forced to try new things not just slap up a few posts and be safe. I thought you mentioned it was something you were looking at doing, glad it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
