Only run across a few minor niggels so far, yell if you want any bugged.

 

Animations between weapon slot 1 & 3 and back not playing. going to 2 from 1 or 3 still plays.

Infected did not spawn at hele crash west and infected camp until after I had left and was 50m's away.

[r4z0r49 4761]

How did you travel to the crash sites ?.
Server might be on quick switch.
 

[kichilron 8550]

Incase you have been playing on my server:

 

quickswitch is activated.

I was and I did not know it was a server option, so no worries

I was crouched jog, the Hele east site I went to spawned okay. I had been seeing this in earlier dev builds too with the chopper crash sites, a bit to often now to be random bug...

Its how the Ai gets generated these dayz. To stop other issues

 

I expect when you see a crash site you walk towards the chopper facing it this blocks the AI from spawning because they would spawn the field of view of the player something we try to limit around towns.

Let me see what i can do about it.

[r4z0r49 4761]

Ok i've update the hole generation system for zeds if the player finds a wreck the script now pass a variable to the spawn script letting it know to bypass FOV checks.

Hey, played on your server last night, Saw this a couple of times:

The sledgehammers/pickaxes that I found (maybe someone dropped them before me as the looked like axes that have been dropped, sticking out of the ground) had no skin and were white.

 

 

 

Other then that awesome performance!

 

Question: Is that server of your's very fast or have the code been changed for better performance? Or perhaps a combination of both?

If no changes to the code I would be interested in your basic.cfg settings as the gameplay (especially around many zeds) was very fluent.

 

Thanks!

Does this mean a db wipe will be necessary when 1.8.4 hits? 

 

Thanks

[r4z0r49 4761]

Oh nar, Just wonted to make sure the SQL is working as it should be

The problem is if people are trying to switch between versions - which is why a separate DB is always a good idea for testing things.

 

Just imagine someone switching to the old version with a sledgehammer or something. You never know what happens next. :ph34r:

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

[vinyljunkie 165]

What about the overall better performance? Is this intentional or just a very fast server kichilron is running?

 

Cheers

The server I'm running this on isn't all that fast, I have to admit. But the overall performance seems to ahve improved.

 

EDIT: It is a dedicated server only managed by me, though. So there's no performanceloss by other servers running on that node.

Ok, thanks. It's just very very fluent and high fps.

It most definitely has improved.  I took notice of CPU load, etc on the server right away.

[vinyljunkie 165]

Noticed a thing: Yesterday when logging out from kichilron's server I was at around 7k blood. Today when logging back in I am at 12 k again. This has happened to me and other players on my server running 1.8.3 so it's not a new bug. Not sure how to recreate this bug either and thought you wanted to know. Should I post it on github? I couldn't find a report about it.

 

Thanks

Please do.

I talked with some of the regular players on my server last night and have a list of things that they reported to me.

 

Sometimes you do not get a fueling sound when another player is fueling a vehicle and you are standing close.

Pants (camo pants in this instance) are bloodied even though the player has never had broken legs.

Still having dizziness after hydrating.

Can't harvest wood in a forest. From large pine trees. (I'm pretty sure this is fixed  already in 1.8.4, but if not...)

Can't take down a Camo Net.  Once constructed, you cannot get a scroll down menu on the camo net to pack it back up.

If you shoot a campfire, it will explode.  (tested this with melee weapons, but shooting will definitely cause an explosion) I tested this repeatedly last night.

They are supposed to be bloodied just before your legs are going to break, basically. When they are damaged. In this case it's a sign you need morphine. At least I think vanilla has this too. I may just have misunderstood you as well but afaik it's not a bug with blood on your pants before you have broken your legs.

[r4z0r49 4761]

the big issue on that list is the fire blowing up i have just fixed that also the textures on the two new tools.

[Skydive (DayZ) 71]

I'm not sure if this ability already exists in some form, but with the addition of harvesting stone, you should be able to sharpen your hunting knife with harvested stone.
