There once was a mod that let us crawl 1m spaces, so where's the problem?
If zambies can, it would only be fair if we could as well.
I have thought about is, but it is not currently a requirement.
That is intentional AI throttling based on distance for performance.
Pathing systems are the same. Mine are system tweaks, not waste of time rewrites to already working systems.
Some of those anims are old legacy and I don't care for them. Someday be nice to remove or trigger better.

I noticed a few people confused in regards to Faatal's comments on AI improvement and POIs. The AI improvements have nothing to do with how the POIs themselves spawn. He was referring to AI improvements in regards to the new "Crawl Out Zombies" feature. Essentially, POI creators (both TFP and modders) will now be able to create sleeper volumes as small as 1 meter in size that can spawn more than one zombie over time. This is largely most helpful in large enemy encounters where spawning many zombies at the same time is very costly performance wise.Read more
For example, the final encounter in the Shamway Factory originally had roughly 22 maximum zombies active at the same time (non infested). U...
Originally posted by SCPeach (Math Guy): So I heard about zombies being able to just crawl into 1x1 spaces soon, that sounds like it's gonna be a nightmare and wanted but besides that, what do you guys think?
Cause if they're gonna do that, they need to at least in the bare minimum, fix the damn animations for crawling and fix when zombies decide to do it. Go to swing at a zombies head and it ducks down, go to swing downwards to its head and it stands up, instantly on both accounts and for no feasible reason, we seriously can't have more zombies actively crawling if this remains. Have they mentioned anywhere that they'll be working on that?

Yes. We are not interested in a bunch of dumb zombies wandering in from all directions mindlessly beating on stuff. I consider that boring. A little known fact is, zombies actually have varying degrees of dumbness across the different types, which effects how interested they are in longer paths and block health. It is not hugely noticeable, but I find it ironic when one is beating on a wall instead of walking down to an opening, then someone on the team thinks it is a bug when they are just being dumb. So many players, so many wants.
Yes, I've spent days improving it and I am still not done.
They have a new crouch anim. They have new rules for when to crouch. Fixed a bug with the head collision offset being wrong.
I am planning on some spine bending for light ducking. Planning on path changes to allow for 1m pathing vs the current 2m tall logic they ALL use.
You can always enter any biome. It takes a few minutes for damage to start. There are ways to extend that time as well. You can also heal yourself...
Maybe. I passed your info to our sound dude.
Bandits do not progress when I have a constant 10 things to do for 2.0 (and previously 1.0). And by constant, I mean every time something is done, there is something else added to the list. There is never enough time to do everything for a release, so the most important stuff wins. While I am doing that month after month, I don't do work on 3.0 or 4.0 features other than the occasion chat when someone says "hey a bandit could jump our of a bush and demand dukes" and we all dream for 10 or 20 minutes before we get back to current work.
Not really. In multiplayer you are getting info from the server over the maybe fast or slow internet. If movement was faster, it would pause your movement each time you were waiting for data, which would be annoying.
The plan is two independent options for these.
It is more than just adding sounds. I fixed these various issues:
Fixed burnt zombie walk anim not triggering footstep sounds.
Fixed spider zombie walk and run anims not triggering footstep sounds.
Added animation triggered step sounds ignore low blend weight anims.
Added animation triggered step sounds can change step volume (float parameter. default of 0 plays at 100%).
Removed entity SoundFootstepModifier (SoundStepType replaces).
Enabled animal movement playing step sounds.
Set zombie walking footstep events to half volume (floatParameter .5).
