Pending Hotfix: Build 1.7.1.5

[YoChris 1]

Rocket, hope you have some time to check out :

some of them really could need easy fixes if possible

Combined hate of 4chan + reddit with any new feature additions for hotfixes would cause the internet to collapse in on itself' date=' and 4chan will begin DDoSing itself

How soon can this be implemented? For the sake of our society?

Hmmm. Probably once the universe has diminished to a state of no thermodynamic free energy.

Im a physical chemist, you just made my day!

I hope it's possible to take over a part of town without having zombies respawn constantly' date=' almost ensuring that you run out of ammo sooner or later. Me and a friend dropped around 50 zombies and they were STILL coming.

Has zombie quick-respawn been fixed with this patch? I know the notes say spawning too close to player has been fixed, but even if they instantly respawn 100m away, they're going to hear the gunshots and come running anyways. So, insta-respawn might still be an issue?

[/quote']Oh now that's ALL we need ... "Welcome to Friendly Chernogorsk, sponsored and administered by Fred's Bandits Inc. ... All others NOT welcome and will be shot on sight."

It's bad enough with the wire and sandbag barricades on every hot loot spot.

Mind you the basic idea ... to stop immediate zed re-spawning ... is fine.

rocket and you are currently working on the upcoming patch, or just planning to start?

[squidgyb 0]

Rocket, I want to respectfully request that you take a look at an idea I had for zombie aggro/stealth mechanic - owing to the signal to noise ratio on the suggestion sub-forum, I couldn't really tell if it would be spotted... I don't want to keep bumping it in the vain hope that you see it, but I'm painfully aware of taking up your time with something that may be already in the works, or is semi-implemented or even that you think it's a shite idea.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=15765&pid=143786#pid143786

I'm aware some of what I suggest may be impossible due to engine limitations, and it may well already be the basis on the way aggro works.

Thanks dude, and keep up the good work :D

Items are only added to the list of changes here once they have been added, and confirmed fixed on the test server with one client connected.

[Sarissofoi 40]

BTW Can you change hatchet magazine into a Sharpening stone?

And make it to take a utility slot?

Dunno what to do about crowbar.

[thoxon 26]

Why are wood bundles still being spawned as loot drops? Please, take them away. they served their purpose, but now are just taking up a loot drop spot away from something actually useful like food, water, or ammo. Or are the two not mutually exclusive? Either way, they're an eye soar.

[poisonman 28]

Performance drop shortly after playing is directly caused by some of the infected searching behavior. This has been addressed.

The audibility (hearing) has been directly addressed in this update.

Sprinting at full pace' date=' unarmed, down a road standing up during broad daylight, you will agro 100m visibility and about 65m audibility.

Rocket, is it just me but shouldn't zombies be able to hear farther than they can see? That always made more sense to me.

Then when it comes to aggroing / being detected, if your detected by sound zombies should come to your proximate location (where the sound was from) and look for you before making chase / attacking, where as if they are aggroed / detect you with sight they will immediately start running at you and attacking.

----------------------------------------------------------

* [FIXED] Hatchet takes up too much room (can now be transferred between toolbelt and primary slot through gear action)

How bout doing the same for the flashlight?

+1

Awesome idea. And people wonder why we have the forums?

* [NEW] Flashlights can now be packed to toolbelt also (gear action)

Nice I forgot to suggest this with the flashlight in the last thread when I suggested it with the Hatchet and Crowbar, awesome idea, +1

Are we still going to do this with the crowbar as well or are we waiting till we can add "tool / utility" type function to the item first?

[patluk@sasktel.net 1]

The flashlight going on the toolbelt is a FANTASTIC start, but you'd have to throw your handgun in your backpack to use it, which could cause inventory space issues. Unless there is some kind of change where pressing L makes your hands magically emit light as long as you have it in your toolbelt.

This would make the remington/glock useless though. I guess throwing the gun in the backpack is no biggie.

EDIT: Handgun as a tool might work? Its toolbelt-sizeish.

[CV514 5]

Rocket, will it be hard to make knife melee weapon too after this changes with flashlight and hatchet?

[Sarissofoi 40]

Add Holster for pistol(a utility slot) where you can store your current pistol to solve your must drop pistol to get a flashlight.

[TerryChuffnuts 7]

Rocket you said that we were going to lose all of our stuff in the tents next update' date=' what about items in cars?

[/quote']

If you car is a tent, then yes. If it is not a tent, it will be fine.

LOL

Excellent Rocket, I've been playing with the flashlight and enjoy it but it was SO big ... not that size matters. :D ... uh ... wait a minute ... no, see I didn't mean ... I'll just get my coat and leave.

Is it possible to get an increase in the Morphine spawn rate?

Zombies can now very easily break your legs especially if you're combating them with melee weapons. Last night I spent the entire night crawling on all fours and found not a single morphine the whole night.

I went through 4 barns, 3 apartment buildings and swept an entire hospital including the roof and found every single medical supply except the Morphine (A very tedious task when you're crawling the whole time). It almost seemed as if Morphine was removed from the game entirely.

[joebob 117]

Rocket' date=' is there any chance that barriers can be fixed to eliminate people from farming loot locations when server hopping? Like making barrier disappear when someone leaves a server. They seemed to be only used for farming, as there is no practical use for barricades at this time.

Is there any way that you can implement an item despawn radius when people log into a server to prevent server hopping?

[/quote'] Yes, please. We all have our hot buttons and pet peeves and that's mine at present.

Rocket is one of the few persons which I desperatly WANT to give all the money I have because of his awesome work!

they already do, it is called they are refillable at any water source (other than the ocean).

[jan_f_w 23]

@rocket

Any chance of having a group of (lets say 3 to 5) steel bolts per item slot?

EDIT: This would liven up usage of the crossbow much I think

[RobbaN (DayZ) 0]

* [NEW] Infected raycast for line-of-sight less often (improves performance)

* [FIXED] Raycasting being taken from wrong body position (ensured it is from eye level)

Does this mean that you will get spotted less? because sometimes they're spotting when Im like 70m away...

[combatcomm1 234]

Dissapointed with he zed nerf. Finnally with 1.7.4 we had zombies just as deadly if not more han other humans. A litteral solution to kill on site. And yet we bitched about it and now its back to dodging zombies and getting shot in the face.

I was succesfully able to sneak by 1.7.4 zombies just fine after i got he hang of it but everyone knew better than to shoot at someone else lest they have a whole horde on thier ass. Besides that people with no guns would want to pair up with gun toting survivors encouraging teamwork.

Hope they havent been taken down too bad.

[slboris 5]

In Rocket we trust!

Any chance we can have our hatchets back to chop some wood? I'm getting cold out in the lonely forest :(

Yep :)

Woot !! amazing the dedication is seen trough and trough

Rocket even do I do not like some of the recent changes

i dont care take where you want it . I missed my wood cutting days

thanks !
