I added and edited a few things too.

1 Makes sense since you want the main thread and graphics threads on the the best cores by themselves. Don't know how we would make Unity do that. Added to TODO list.


2 boot.config is generated by Unity during a build. We do not change it directly. gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1 is already in A20's because graphics jobs is a player setting that was turned on months ago. I did not notice a performance boost, but it would depend on what your bottlenecks are.


Thanks

Features and the data formats that back many features will continue to change until beta. Beta should happen before gold. That means previous alpha's worlds usually won't load. The simple way to lock in and not break your worlds is to not update the game, which would be similar to us saying hey we are done now and everything in the future is 7dtd 2.


Now if you locked in to a version, you would be missing all the new features. Like the massive pile of new block shapes coming in A20 and shape UI that goes with it.

I'd prefer new zombies not act like old zombies, since then it is just a reskin, which is boring.

Maybe, but not planned.

Was it performed by aiming at the water with your empty hands equipped and right clicking? If so, it was probably changed because that overlaps with performing a power attack now. Fisticuffs are their own weapon track.

No. They are two completely different versions.

It is just called the Rad zombie.

It is an AOE attacker by using its special move. It can still hit you like normal.

Feral weight?

Don't know.

Probably new models before gold.

1. Yes. Your question is already answered in the Pinned topic.

2. Why would you wait? No you can't transfer progress, but why on earth would y... Read more

You are asking the wrong guy. I don't really know what they are planning with any of that.

Yeah, that could go either way. I usually just make stuff up as I go based on what someone might have wanted modified by what I want.


This guy needed something different, so today he got a vomit burst attack. Artists may change those particles, since those are just mine.

They mentioned during the stream that the game was near the limit for textures and couldn't really add more. I find the current set of paints rather lacking.
I agree- But the textures from the removed blocks are still in the game; If you like the brick texture, You can still use it. It's not as if bricks are gone forever from the 7DTD wo... Read more

What does material streamlining have anything to do with this game "becoming a FPS arcade game"??

When I buld a base I want immediately to build it with the best material I can afford at the moment: that does not change. In A19 you start with Flagstone? Well, in A20 you'll start directly with Cobblestone or Wood maybe. But the new wood will have the same HP as A19's reinforce...

That would be for grass and small plants. There is a new grass shader Justin did that I merged into the old, since the old one had vertex anim and fade out we needed to keep. That uses different calculations for lighting, so it looks better. Justin also improved a lot of the textures and tweaked the world's ambient lighting. I also cleaned up the grass/plant mesh generation, it has much more variety now, but with the same simple collider shapes for all of them. Biome decoration generation code and values have also been tweaked.

No. I decided it was not worthy enough being the starter vehicle.

“Hey, you bring those chili dogs I asked for?”

“Yup. They’re waiting for ya.”

“Where?”

“Inside the toilet.”

“…Are you sure we’re really friends?”

Performance, Variety, Well Populated World; Pick two.
Personally I would be happy to aim for the center of the triangle, but let me guess, that's where we are now.
Pretty much, yeah.

They've stuffed in almost literally every single unique zombie model they can within the constraints of the engine.

The core of that system is the reason we still don't have many zeds wandering about the lands in the game. Go play a13 and see how many you run into in the wild. It's almost constant.

In any case, the UMA system is being fully du...
