November Round-up

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

You know, you can turn down head bob in first person, as well as altering the aiming deadzone. First person can be as rigid as half life 2, or as bumpy as mirrors edge. It's really just user preference. I don't get it. You can change those values.

 

Yeah. People are screaming about options that should be default customizable in any decent PC FPS game. I was a little worried about no lefty perspective setting as this is more and more being over looked by programmers but it seems that will be a feature. 

 

And I would love a shield like this, just pushing zombies away and in the other hand a wakizashi

*riot shields*

 

Different types of riot shields would be very handy indeed.

Some of Rocket's comments on Reddit are hilarious but some of the people who suck up to him make me sick... literally make me ill...

 

It's an easy way to get up-votes/positive karma from all the fanboys.

Based on rockets latest posts,optimization is far from done, so i guess 2014 is looking more logic now.What do you guys think?

"breadcrumb. where the zombie looses direct line of sight, they can follow where the player went. this is mostly employed inside buildings. This allows the zombie to be smarter in negotiating obstacles because they use what the player did" - rocket2guns

 

I get that this is just describing how it works technically, but what are the criteria for losing a zombie's aggro in a building then?

 

If it's not based upon LOS, do the zombies lose aggro and go into "alerted" mode? Will they just search the general area?

 

I think there may be a possible downside to their treatment of zombies. They seem to be trying to streamline (rightfully so) the zombies, while at the same time not leaving much room for additional behavior. I hope they change how aggro works with regard to sounds, so that a zombie or group of zombies will hear a noise (but do not have LOS) and will rush to investigate the general area and more or less loiter around trying to find the player. Would encourage the player to either be mobile or stealthy.

Nah.

 

I'm hopeful.

 

I have a feeling that they would release at -50 players capable rather than hold up release too much longer.

 

November, November, November.

 

We will be thankful.

^{My guess is a December Alpha release. Gives them some time and it's good for business with the holidays, etc. I appreciated the video he let out last night. I don't have any video game production experience and quite honestly didn't notice many of the bugs until I read comments. Maybe I won't be much help in the alpha bug squashing, but I'm buying it regardless.}

Will some map areas be locked for the alpha ?...I would prefer it that way  :)

Please, no.

Why'd you prefer that? :)

[SJKSJK 225]

   . If the alpha comes out, does that mean optimization can no longer continue? Or couldn't it just release with optimization ongoing?

KILL 100 ZEDS TO UNLOCK BEHREZINO.

Feel free to draw an invisible border for yourself and play inside. But don't put others in your prison. :)

I'm quite happy with the way the zeds' pathfinding works now.  They don't seem to go wild with speedhacks anymore.  Plus hitting them is MUUUUCH easier according to what i've seen in the video.  I was recently killed by a zed in the mod because i couldn't hit him at point blank with a machete.  Skippy bastard.  Good progress gents.  Keep up the splendid work.

[Leo Leonardo III 20]

I generally like the way things are going.  At first glance the alpha is fairly decent looking.  Already it's well above the playability of the mod in my firm opinion.

I apologize for the double post.  My internet is not doing to well these days.

 

*Edit*

Changed the second post so i wouldn't look like an ass.  Staying on topic gents.

Optimization won't 'stop' just because they hit Alpha.  Hell, it won't stop even after 'final' release.

The video didn't really show much...From what it did show though...

 

Not really sure why there was only one infected model. Or so few infected in general. The Sun glare is a bit much.

 

Other than that it looked totally playable.

and a nap is essentially ...not sleep? or why should there be then a such message?

I'm just saying... what has been confirmed.  You have seen a picture which has:  "You feel like taking a nap" on it.   You have not seen sleeping.

 

 

So what has been actually confirmed?   The fact that you can feel like taking a nap. Any speculation beyond that is jumping to a conclusion.

Don't waste your breath on them, these people use any and all excuses as justification for not wanting to use first person.
