when i started the game it wasn't in a17 and i had a world i really liked not that high in level but i've had trouble trying to find a world i liked as much as that one but when i updated i lost my save. I think it was a16.4 i've still got the save file but it's in red. I would like to try going back and slowly updating but my internet is't the best and i do 1GB 45 minutes so it would take awhile but i don't know if it would fix the glitch as it says there is no game file? I am hoping you guys a who work at tell tale/fun pimps could let me know if back tracking the versions would fix my game file as it would save me 6 or 7 days of endless updates to do if it wont work?

Thanks

Dan

While you guys are fixing the RGW. Can we get the ability to set spawn position through xml? pretty please!

 

It's already there. Spawning.xml in the worlds folder, which I believe in 17.2 is in the save folder.

 

- - - Updated - - -

 

done, xml is in the worlds folder near the savegames

 

Damn you french bread. :)

OK, my character is having a crisis. He needs help and a chiropractor, quickly!

I have to let this out; sorry if I sound nitpicky.

 

About the current shotgun reload disobeying mathematical laws...

 

No matter how many shells you fire, the character puts in two shells, "pumps" (rooster word not allowed) the gun, and magically the magazine has the max amount of shells (8). If the gun wasn't empty, meaning you'd just fill up a partially empty magazine, the pump action would also eject the shell currently in the chamber.

 

This was also one of my pet peeves in vanilla Doom 3. You would get two shells in the ammo counter for one put in the weapon.

But to do one upper tier quest I have to spend 10 Bandage and those Auto Healing RAD zombie (bug) and having not RAD Modifier make it impossible to do those.

 

Auto-healing may have been tuned down somewhat. Radiated have an awful amount of HPs, but auto-heal will only make a big difference if you try to kill 10 radiated at the same time and distribute your shots. At least that was my impression from a test with turned on HP display I did a week ago

Yeah, A16 saves won't work with A17. If you want them you will have to go back to A16.

 

This won't help your download issues, but you can use the Mod Launcher to grab A16 from Steam, and run both versions simultaneously. You would still have to move your A16 saves into the Mod Launcher's A16 folder.

 

I've done that and it's working. (It's how I'm still able to play the War of the Walkers mod, which I still think is great.)

Or bring back the vibrant blue concrete and the bookshelf options.

 

Better still, allowing the paintbrush to 'copy' any colour/texture in the world....also the possibility of perhaps 'half' painting a face, like a 45 angle triangle of a full block and/or uploading/drawing simple icons/images to be used on the standard storage box (like a dollar sign for trader goods/cash or different sized guns for various gun storage).

 

In addition - possibly allowing arrows and some other alt-code/ascii to signs to allow greater variation when organising storage.

Wow! After over 1600 hours playing this game I finally know what a tree looks like and bugger me I can see grass!

I just put together my new PC and the first game I loaded up was of course 7DTD. Wow!

I never realised that the FPS numbers actually go green!

For the first time I’m able to appreciate the game as it was meant to be seen. I always thought that this was a very pretty game to look at but I never knew it looked this good.

FYI

8700k

RTX 2070

NVMe drive

SSD drive

 

Wow! Just wow!

I really enjoy the new changes and upcoming features:

 

 

But I think it is more important to take care of the still existing issues:

 

  • proper 3D plants instead of the really old 2D ones (1, 2)
  • more detailed textures. (1, 2, 3, 4)
  • better looking character textures (1)

 

Some other stuff which I think is important, too:

 

  • performance improvements, especially when playing in multiplayer, with a lot of zombies or on a big RWG map
  • updated shaders to work with Vulkan so it can be used
  • regular Unity updates

That would greatly improve the game! I know how important new content is, but I think at least some of your staff should concentrate on the old stuff/issues. New content could always be added in the future. Let's take care what is already in the game and improve that.

 

Nevertheless thank you guys for this great game and the ongoing work on it.

I saw these things listed in the latest changes:

 

 

1.Logging when player makes levels

2.Clamping to huge xp gains and changed giveselfxp to allow huge numbers

 

 

What are these and how do they work?

 

 

I also saw this:

 

3. A "Blood Moon Warning" option.

 

 

How is that working out in the game?

 

 

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

 

1: When a player levels up, it will get a logline in server log (servermanagers can pick it up then)

2: the console command giveselfxp has been changed to allow very large numbers of xp to be given to yourself. giveselfxp 100000000000000

3: new option that colors the daynumber red on a bloodday from specified hour. Use -1 to disable.

 

Cheers

Let me rephrase my question.

 

While you guys are fixing the RGW. Can we get the ability to set spawn position through xml BEFORE a map is generated? pretty please!

 

How would you know where you want to spawn if there is no map yet ?

If you pregenerate map you got your spawning.xml and can adjust that. If you got no map yet, how do you know which place should be the start ?

 

Or do you want a single spawning point option so players are always spawning as a team ?

A16 gave you lots of gun parts that did absolutely nothing useful.

 

A17 gives you guns that go bang. You can call them useless but IMO a loaded gun is much better than 4 receivers and 1 stock.

 

This is true, but when you did get a whole set for something rare like a smg/ak/sniper it was pretty exciting. Also, incrementally finding good quality parts and improving the weapons was cool.

 

The main benefit though is that it made whole weapons more of a treat, in a17 whole weapons are a dime a dozen.

 

I'd rather have filler parts than filler whole weapons.

 

Not to mention, now if you find a really cruddy gun it's the exact same as finding a quality 6 gun. It's not like you're going to have mods to put in it, so there's no excitement there. And considering that you find them everywhere *and* can craft them with a perk, it's just not particularly exciting to find them.

 

Personally I'd:

 

  • Remove the weapon crafting perks
  • Make finding weapons rare
  • Bring back quality system from a16 (Better quality = better stats)
  • Bring back weapon parts
  • Bring back weapon schematics for learning to repair weapons / parts
  • Allow players to assemble / disassemble weapons without reading schematics to make finding parts useful for repair
  • And preserve the current mod system cause it's a great addition
