7 Days To Die Dev Tracker

Hmm. So you guys aren’t after railroad crossings and train yards; you just want something to facilitate ore processing? Then perhaps a conveyor belt block would do it.

Each one would occupy one block. You could orient it N/E/S/W. It wouldn’t be expected to handle curves or inclines. It would work with the existing electricity system. It could also be really fun to incorporate into zombie traps. You’d need special code to move a storage chest or other block along it, and performance may be an issue when you have a hundred of these in a tunnel. But other than that, I think it’s feasible.

Unfortunately a voxel engine is poorly suited for rails. The rails wouldn't all be straight - you'd want turns and inclines as well. In order to not look ridiculous, those turns and inclines would need to be gentle, over a long distance, which doesn't line up with the rest of a voxel world split into cubic meter increments.

I'm sorry, but everything you just said is wrong.

It's absolutely posssible to optimize code, in just about every language. Best practices are suggestions that should work well, but that doesn't mean a particular best practice produces the fastest execution, or the smallest memory footprint, or any other thing you might be optimizing. It also doesn't mean that you picked the best algorithim or data structure ...

Well, we do know they were upgrading to Unity 2017 for some performance and other reasons (like DX11 and Vulkan support).
Maybe they hit some snag that only got fixed in 2018, or maybe a feature worked better.

I agree it is good they're pushing up to the newest. Means they'll be able to use some additional/newer features if they want/need.
Even if they don't make use of 2018 features in A17, it will set them up nicely for optimizing and potentially using some of them in the future without another engine upgrade.

This is a clear reminder to report posts you think are trolling or fanboying instead of responding.
This is a clear reminder violations of the Steam Discussion forum rules, or this specific Game's forums rules will not be tolerated.

Thank you.

To those who do the right thing reporting such posts instead of interacting or providing vigilante justice commentary I would like to offer my thanks.

Together we can make this a better place for all to interact as a community.

You need to get their SteamID in ID64 format, the name is not correct for the config file.
The easiest way is to indirectly exercise the public Steam API by using 3rd party sites to do the lookup for you. (Enhanced Steam Browser Addon also displays the numeric SteamID64)

It also depends on what device and the drivers you use for that audio device.
I keep voice chat disabled for the same reason. On some systems, the interaction is performance detrimental. Most commonly when the audio device is USB based, but not exclusively. Just depends on how the driver responds.

I think debug mode is not listed within the admin permissions file by default, and as such it wont let you use it?



Your serveradmin.xml should look similar to this, Some of the commands above are ones i had to manually add to the file (Namely SE, ST, DM, TP, and Tele, i think) If they are NOT within this file, the command is not usable.

If you don't have access to the file you should be able to add commands in game by using the cp add command, in this case "cp add debugmenu 0"

Originally posted by GhostGaming: anyone know how to fix this spamming the console with, "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"???

Probably have to go back to A15 when that worked.

The fake miss made sense at the time. Not anymore when arrows veer sometimes, drop over time, and have flight characteristics. All the things that add to legitimate misses that were not possible or happening when it was put in.

Originally posted by akroma.chan: It's not a bug... It's a feature.
Some versions before they decided bow was op because it couldn't miss when aimed correctly, so they introduced a rng when shooting making the arrow "deviate" from it trajectory.
It's crappy, it could have been set by several different changes, they choose this way and will probably never change (since MM don't seem to even play his game, or understand how we play it).
I died or almost died a few times because of this "oups you arrow didn't hit the dog at 50cm from you but hit the rock behind it". It is frustrating but, well, it's not broken.

Just a correction:
In Alpha 14.3 a chance to miss was added that I lovingly call "fake miss" because at th... Read more

No, the ability to get achievements remains intact for that world.
As long as cheats are disabled when you actively try for the achievement, having previously enabled them does not seem to cause an issue.

Example a quick way to get the Player Killing achievements without killing another human.
Note: I can personally verify this works.
New game with cheats disabled.
F1 (to open console)
dm
cm
F1 (to close console)
U (open cheat menu)
Search for pipe bombs
Fill Belt with pipe bombs
Close cheat menu
press H
press space to fly up above the ground out of reachable distance for anything on ground.
Face a little bit in front and toward the ground of current position.
F6 (to open spawn menu)
Click the Spawn 25 box.
Press banditmelee twice

Playstyle Attacking It seems there has been an increasing amount of attacking those whom would play with different settings, values, modifications than default.

This needs to stop. These forums are not here just for the default settings and/or harder. They are here for everyone who enjoys the game in any way they choose to play.

The Fun Pimps themselves have said many times that while they are designing the game how they want it to be played, but they also want the user to be able to have the customized experience the user would like.

Going forward, threads request help customizing the experience toward a player's liking or offering suggestions for such should not be met with attacks, comments of how they should play another game, comments they should just enable cheats, etc, etc. Those who've decided to make such comments will have their ability to interact with the community restricted.

Each time such a thread is posted a person makes a c... Read more
