I think it means that in the coming 0.55 iteration, despite the new stealth features, silenced guns will still trigger zombie aggro.

Z is coming back :), there are some problems and crashes (known issues). But in general you can expect the following in this iteration :

 

Zombies do react to sound/visuals. Stance changes affect visibility, clothes do not (yet). Stances and walking affect noises. Silencers do not (yet). Clothes neither (yet). They follow you when you attract them, they walk around and try to find you. There is no group AI yet. There will be. Try the stealth to get the feel of it. There have been no changes to health/damage yet. The absolute number of zombies is set to double the amount, we will try to increase them over time balancing out changes to health/damage.

 

Also consider the new animations, combo attacks etc. More than 4 zombies can follow you now, be careful.

 

Other than new v3s animations (wip not final), map changes to reduce wallglitching and loads of bugfixes (vehicles, animals and zombies). Chainsaw is back! 

 

Animals have gone through loads of bugfixing, including some of the stuck animations, weird movement etc. There are increased numbers and variability. Let the hunting begin!

 

For this iteration we also turned on the new spawn system (loot), economy and dynamic events (working on persistent servers, they are not affected by restarts and regulary spawn loot)

EDIT: There is a snowball effect of our last year of work on sensors, ai and much of the underlying yech. Exciting times ahead. There is loads more work, including item modifications, damage, health, weapons, group ai, terrain etc. But the new zomies consist of new physical controller + sensors + ai + animations etc. Thus it will help with many of the issues that zombies had, its not only stealth. Its clipping, desync, amount, performance, and more. We just need time to tweak it.

mehhh...

It might get added by end of the 0.55 cycle. But this is the current state.

 There is no group AI yet.

 

Could someone ELI5 that "group AI" thing?

[buddy_cassino 69]

That's what I downloaded as well. Can't wait to try out the new zombie ai!

Actually, I want to aggro as much as I can!!

[boneboys 7988]

Be aware...

 

[eugenharton 1540]

Its not that bad with low player numbers. the zombies are moving correctly and registering. But there is a known bug in the AI that crashes the server in specific cases. So as the player disconnect it looks like zombies are not reacting at all, when it is the server dying :(

 

Otherwise once we remove that crash we should be good for proper testing.

[GaryWalnuts 1680]

Yep was on loaded server and it just crashed.  Anyone else notice that loot is a bit odd?  Lots of morphine injectors.  Found lots of oranges, spaghetti cans but not much else for food.   and fire extinguishers only melee ive seen.  Also found a smersh vest in civilian garage  :P
