Ouch Quit It Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 We still need an airport POI too. I had made 2 of them...a suburban one and a rural one. I believe they were added to one of the combo pack awhile ago. I will post pictures later. Even had a helipad for the gyrocopter. Ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gronk Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 <also snipped for space> A nice idea but it assumes that intersections are equidistant apart, that's actually quite likely given the American's love of gridlock. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gronk Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 We still need an airport POI too. Wasn't there an issue with large POI's being unable to be added to RNG? If memory serves the hand-egg stadium had to be split into two parts to add it to nave. Anyone know if this is still an issue with A17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolffblood Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wasn't there an issue with large POI's being unable to be added to RNG? If memory serves the hand-egg stadium had to be split into two parts to add it to nave. Anyone know if this is still an issue with A17? I'm thinking it's due to how stuff loads in. I know another guy earlier is making that aircraft carrier and having the same issue. It's too large for the chunks, so it never loads in if it's one piece, so he has to load it in as 2 pieces. I'm guessing that would be the same issue here, unless you could somehow make it to where those pieces ALWAYS load in connected, but I wouldn't know where to start with that to make sure the blocks are lined up. I could be wrong. You'd think it'd be one large POI, but made up of lots of smaller ones. Again, one reason I can't wait for this to be able to fully take a map hand made like Navezgane from other people. Things will be placed with a bit more reason. Random just seems too random for me, doesn't make much sense where things are located. I think some of that's been improved with A17 with the bits we've heard. - - - Updated - - - Mine were less than 200x200 ..whatever the max was for adding them.

meganoth Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Oh, quick question.. I forgot.. How do you open 7DTD Client while it's already 'running'? (PID seems to share with startdedicated.bat) I can open 7DTD, then startdedicated, but not the other way around.. So if I crash, I have to kick everyone off the server before I can get back in. You probably got so many answers as private messages that your private message quota is full. Check your forum mail. In case your quota was exceeded a long time ago here is my answer: With a little guesswork: I suspect startdedicated.bat doesn't really start a headless server but a client without gui that occupies your steam licence. Oh, the joys of DRM If I'm right you have three options: A) Start a real headless server (which you can download from steam, howto descriptions are on the net/in the forum, probably search for "headless server 7 days") does not use the steam licence and because of that you can start your client simultaneously. I do operate a headless server and I can start my client at the same time, so I know it works. B) Start your client normally with a multiplayer game and let your friends connect to that. Naturally that means that a client crash will also kill the server, but you save the kicking and extra server restart. C) Buy another copy of 7D2D on a separate steam account and use startdedicated in a parallel OS account and with that steam account. EDIT: In light of wolffbloods info buying another copy seems superfluous, just copy the game files to a different location and use the batch file from there. EDIT: If this doesn't work, read the error messages and really try to understand them (many people just ignore error messages because they think they won't understand them anyway) and check the logfiles of 7d2d for more information.

Hopefully that's been adjusted for a17, but a15 allowed for prefabs to be joined together, that function was broken in a16. Magoli cried that day.

Ianua Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Also it would be cool to have clothing get wet (every slot fill up like a wetness bar - like in the long dark), that would freeze over in the snow but would cool you in the desert while it dries. Uh, have you never gotten wet in A16.4? Being wet makes you colder and there is a percentage indicator (umbrella) that shows how wet you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that carrier could have work pre-A16, but A16 broke it. More than likely fixed for A17 I'd bet. I'm excited to see all the changes and find new ones. I mean we really only talk to, what, 3 devs? There's so many more out there doing more stuff. Wish we had a list of literally everything and in more detail like how faatal does with us.

Hmmm, I actually don't have that issue. I usually can have the startdedicated.bat running all the time so my friends can jump on whenever they want, of course as long as my computer is on and it's running the server. When I want to get on, I can just open the client and it goes. Only have 1 copy of 7DtD. Though I do make copies of the game for each mod and do it that way. So I can actually have multiple servers going (1 server per copy) if I so wished, but only 1 client running. I wouldn't know where the difference would be.

Yoghira Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 @Roland or @Faatal or @Madmole or @Gazz Do you plan to make trolleys usable to transport things? Maybe a Handcart would be nice too to build without receipe/shematics/blue print as soon as you have some tires and some wood. And then last but not least as an extension for vehicles - a trailer. Because one of the first things i would organise in zombie apocalypse ist something to transport needed stuff. Best regards Yoghira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about how it works. They'll have more answers about that, just wanted to let you know it has been talked about and thought of. As for the handcart, I think that'd be cool to have. Have it something that zombies would go after if food was in it though? Probably easiest thing would that it just makes more noise currently.

Even a small airport with small aircraft would be nice. Wrecked OFC. Could even do a mission there were the trader sends you off there to find the bluprints of a flying aircraft.

I can not IMAGINE the horror of trying to roll one down the street/ cross country during a zombie apocalypse. I think the issue in game was item location as it related to lag and how the server sees separate, but connected entities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmic Kerman Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Well to be honest that was my take on why it was removed. I know it felt unnatural to me compared to what I was used to and one day it was just removed and everything was back to the way it has always been. I don't know the actual reason it was reverted with many MANY apologies to the many MANY people who played the beegezus out of Borderlands 2. I'll ask. EDIT: From Joel: It was not a good control scheme for moving in close quarters and having fine control in tense situations and we decided we didn't like it for this game. That’s a fair answer. Something to consider for A18 is adding an extra keybind for a sprint toggle. For example Shift would be hold to sprint, and another key, e.g., control, could be a sprint toggle. Then you’d have the best of both worlds. Hold for fighting and toggle for exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in germany they have actually very good ones. Stable rubber tires with very good bearings. Of course some shops have carts with theft protection - they insert some kind of break if you leave the shop with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
