Experimental Branch: 0.49 Discussion

[blackberrygoo 1416]

I have to say that with the electric cattle prod you can,alterate the pulse of a person ,and if you use it to much ,you can cause him a heart attack :)

I discovered it ,when i used it against a dude that tried to attack me when i was a freshspawn,knock him down,handcuff him and then started to experiment with him,all for science!

Lol ! ha he had it coming GG... damn bandits im gearing up Ivan Ivanovitch Ivanov , my Blue Medical Man to prevent such incidents from producing death ! See him posing here:

DC message from server while being chased by a zed and a "squeaker" and was bleeding. Rejoin another server to find I'm a new spawn/must have been killed/bled to death.

 

Canned food was scarce in the areas I searched (though I was in small towns mostly).

 

The only melee weapon I found was the useless crowbar.

 

I did find a double rifle but no rounds whatsoever.

 

Noticed wet message didn't show until I was wet (no damp indicator in text or UI).

 

New military zed (in vest) and a regular zed got "trapped" in the entry to the rural hospital and were glitched semi frozen while I stood there and punched them in the head.

 

Once you knocked them down the AI reset and they would fight back.

 

Clothing still does not show mending unless removed to inventory or dropped.

 

Overall performance seemed good.

 

Random door states are a welcome change.

 

I look forward to possibly having options for how slow or fast you open an unlocked door.

 

Very slow/silent > slow/low audio > regular speed/average audio now heard > quickly kicked in/loud

No ctd so far but a short restart on Aus/nz.

I take that back, just had one, but it's the first and I have been on since it was patched.

Whole US Southcentral 0-9 Server crashed incl. my game when I was putting on (green) combat boots, lol.

.. Also the door opening closing sounds are amazing , definitely need more variety but it's a minor(but huge ) step in the survivally and realism direction . Can't wait to see it hit stable ...

 

Rocket called the current state of sounds their "poor cousin" - I really think the whole sound engine will be re-done soon

 

But oh anyone else see this bug ; when your usin a caddle prod and also have a compass in your inventory you switch randomly from the caddle prod to the compass in mid combat ? lol it's a tricky bug and I'll try and put it on the bug tracker tonight after work but anyone else have this issue ?

I get the same issue with all melee weapons - I think it's somehow related to the stuff you have in your quickbar.

In my case, when I am using my fireaxe it randomly switches to number 5 in my quickbar - no matter if i have a pipsi or another gun on this slot

How did you guys manage to find new items in mere seconds but not notice that the berries have been renamed, you can finally cancel the harvesting animation on Canina Bushes (Red-coloured Berries), and that you can run up and down the stairs again.

Create Game???

I tried to come on a experimental server, but it was already covered with 64 players. I tried several times to join and suddenly got this window appears:

Really having fun with this so far. I knew that right-clicking opened tuna was a known bug but had to try it anyway and got a CTD. :D The door sounds are huge and also being random open and shut, very nice.

 

I should also say that the temperature system feels better and better. I was raining when I first logged in and before too too long I was cold. I did the rational thing, went inside, dried my clothes and hung out for a while. It was clearly indicated that I was slowly warming up and when my cold status went, I happily went about my business (found a raincoat not long after).

First feedback related to loot^^

 

- no loot spawning at wooden floor tents at NWAF (again)

- no loot spawning at rusty Urals

- no loot spawning at Tanks/BTRs

 

- rifles seems rare, even SKS

- rifle magazines seems rare too

 

Edit:

 

seems no loot spawning at all(?) wood and iron sheet sheds, weird... somebody saw loot at blue caravans?

 

 

Edit2:

 

I am even not sure if loot REspawn works... and meanwhile everywhere flash lights

Now i can´t get in since basically all servers either freezes or i get the no message for bla bla seconds as soon as i log in.

[lol2k345 7]

In svetlo the doors would first have to be "closed" before i could open them, even if they were closed.

I've had that happen in stable servers a couple of times.

 

The first time I played with the settings a bit then hit "restart" - found myself unable to log into that server from the day after! Perhaps they banned me or something, I don't know. Anyway, the second time I just quit and joined another server.

I just have that problem too... also.. something about battleye querying for an updated version..? Sorry if i can't be more specific...didn't have time to see the full message..

For me i reset the server list over and over again and 8 out of 10 times there is no version 49 at all. When i finally find one, i can´t access it but im stuck in the waiting for host list and then back again to serverlist. When refresh, again all version 49 are gone.

 

Ideas?

The batteries in Electric Cattle Rod drain a little too fast, they're empty in about 5-10 hits.

 

Other than that, I gotta say I am pleasently surprised by this new patch. The meele is finally perfect in my opinion, zombies seem so much better and so does the preformance. Loving the new door sounds, although I hope they add variation soon. 

 

Also another thing I noticed, I can finally hear distant gunshots. I heard 3 really distant Mosin (or similar) shots just couple minutes ago, and no, it was not the ambience.

 

I'm sitting AFK in a building whilst writing this, time to get back ingame.

Considering it's a 9V powering it, thats pretty good!  lol

[odin_lowe 3686]

Crashed twice in 3 hours, which is not so bad. (once because I right click on spaghetti can, which is a known bug...)

 

Only thing new I found was a firefighter jacket.

[Cpanther 221]

Never mind... fix it itself...

[stop_shooting 1]

That stun baton is quite effective.  I didn't have much luck with the cattle prod, but the stun baton take zed down after 1-2 hits

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

The hotkey bug some people are seeing may be related to switching between hotkey items before putting them away first.

 

When I put my melee weapon away, instead of barehands, I went immediately to my compass which I had switched from my melee weapon before killing zombie.

 

Experiencing server DC regularly (not sure of time intervals yet) which may be related to the "*player name* is losing connection" message that seems to display often.

 

Edit: I think the student contingent arriving home from school and stressing the servers brought out more bugs (audio), and pushed the server DC bug out.

I thought this was a known thing that was coming, reducing weapon spawns and no more or "Very" low chance of weapons spawning in jeeps, trucks e.t.c.....
