Please do not ask ETA, everytime you ask for ETA a Spiffo die. (and it's sad)

[NEW STUFF]
Multiple text lines editor.
You can now write note and read them (more a multiplayer stuff).
3D Sound ! Sound will now go left to right, fade away, etc..
Burn zombie corpses ! It need some petrol and a lighter/matches.
Windows can now perma lock if you try to open them for too long.
Bandages will now be removed after a certain amount of time.
Disabled the corpse decay.
[MP] Added experimental zombies respawn, I'll need feedback on it
[MP] Added experimental loot respawn, you have to setup the serverOption "HoursForLootRespawn", if you set it as 48, it mean the zone will have to be unseen for 48 in game hour before loot respawning, same as zombies respawn, I'd LOVE to have feedback on it
I'm also working on (idk if it'll be done for this build tho..) the ability to paint letters/text on wall.
New crafting : Bookcase, shelves, bed...
Map fixes (no more falling in Mall stairs, etc...).

[BALANCE]
Increased a tad the difficulty to open windows when you're not strong.

PS:
ehm, if u for any reason mind me citing it, do mod away. I am a creature of comfort, not of malice. :P

[Robert Johnson]

Nah, it's just that if I do it here too, I now then to update every thread and.. Yeah, I prefer spend time coding than doing that :D

[Gilga ™ |Yonaguni|]

Sounds good.
Espially the part of burning zombies and the new crafting.

[Crohns Racing]

im not a fan of the idea for loot and zombie respawn, for me that is a total realism killer.

if you ask me all focus should be on cars and new map areas (and I guess pushing out Till Death do us Part A.S.A.P.)

did you read the part where it said [MP]? it's only in multiplayer, besides it's experimental. and a respawn for mulitplayer would actually be nice because MP maps gets easily flushed out.

[DarqSlayer]

Hey any tips for playing i can never survive long because the second i leave the house there are zombies and they always chase me.

[Mappy]

don't run, always sneak, bring a weapon, don't fight what you know you can't beat.

loot respawn is for multiplayer servers, and it is an option.

Cars, NPCs and Map extensions are something that other people are working on individually, not all of them together. I don't think you'd prefer one of the coders doing nothing in the meantime until you think the time is right :P

[Mappy]

hoping you guys could fix the controller use in the future :)

That make no sense. There are more important things to code before that.
Otherwise the devs would need more time for NPC to code at all.

[Caça Rato]

very nice !!! but do we have any idea when the NPC come out ???

The only thing it doesn't do at the moment is interact with dialogs, swapping of bags, or the rebinding of keys. Otherwise, support is already in.

As always, no ETAs. They'll be out when they're ready.

I meant for xinput, I only have a generic controller :(

but thanks though! :D

Considering Xinput looks like a DirectX technology and sense the game doesn't use DirectX in any way . . . I'm guessing the chances are slim. Unless, of course, it's something supported by JInput.

Generic controllers should still be picked up in-game.

ooohh! what's that? haven't heard of that yet :D googling it now! does it work like xinput?

[SupremeMode]

Insignia thanks brothers

[Undead Llama]

Not sure how I feel about the planned 'zombie respawn' mechanic. I want to say yay!, but, there are a few things nagging me;

> If a player utterly massacres all zombies within a cell and its surrounding cells, are zombies still permitted to respawn in there? (ie, creation of safe zone that the game can track the size and location of using a meta-map of zed population & survivor activity)

> Can we choose to disable it outright (both MP and SP)?

> Why is spawning tied to the roads? Why not base it on areas bordering high zed concentration, to simulate them wandering off on their own from the herd?


Any word on when we might see the negative growth bug on crops to be addressed?
