    This probably goes for a bunch of things but for now I am just going to look at this, as it could just be my own personal settings. https://strawpoll.com/wby5QbRl7yA To be clear: When I say call sounds, I mean the dialing, ringing, etc. Not the voices over the phone.

    Hence why I'm making a poll, and as stated, it may not happen regardless of outcome. It's just to gauge how people feel currently or with future changes.

    Not trying to say you weren't, I'm just trying to say that they should go vote neutrally on their own feelings of it rather than only reading a dissenting opinion first. Not meaning yours is right or wrong. As there are pros and cons both ways.

    Something to consider when I talk about any sort of recoil change. We are not Battlefield or CoD so no run and gun type gunplay. We tend treat characters as an average person, not a seasoned combat veteran. That said, my goal is to make it feel more manageable, if possible.

    Trying to describe it is hard, But look at for example ready or not, Thats a game that you can consider to have perpheads eliments especally with TFU for example as you have you scar your G36C for example, where they feel wighty, where you know the recoil is going to go if you hold ur mouse and not ect

    But then again its not just me, theres how many players on a day to day basis (That are way better then me lmao) So it be worth kinda making something and seeing what people think potentally (this would take some time tho, and sorry for yapping so much im just invested lmao)

    So as an update with nothing new yet. I was looking at new ways we could do recoil, so a lot of testing various means with nothing definitive yet that has felt right. I might make a comprehensive poll about gunplay as it currently is soon.

    Altered animations so visually there is less clutter. Sako, Mac and Uzi become way more usable that way. As of now there is one ban for this.
    This file came from a previous dev that we don't really talk about (like Voldemort).

    I think a recoil rework/spray patterns are very needed. I'd prefer a consistent spray pattern over what we have currently, which is just random horizontal recoil with a shit ton of bloom/spread if you're not standing completely still.

    Would it be possible to add an option to use peripheral scopes in F1>Options? I don't know the technical complications to this but if it is doable and heck even if it requires reconnecting to the server to apply the changes to your game, I would love this.

    It isn't really as simple as that. So right now I will not be looking too much into this sorry to say but eventually I will see if there may be a different solution possible.

    As police are able to use explosives to blast open doors, and there are some explosives for others, I have a new poll for everyone. https://strawpoll.com/6QnMQqRrane

    I think it would be better if the door had a LOT of HP, being able to not only blow it off its hinges (maybe not so easily with grenades) but maybe the implementation of a breach shotgun that is expensive to craft but guarantees break in whereas the other options are luck
    Clarky
    Clarky
    Quite often of the time in shootouts a door is in the way, perhaps have its functionality similar to some doors on CS maps
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    I agree @Clarky all owned doors can be locked which at a certain point becomes troublesome for carrying enough tools in some properties. A breaching shotgun, I think that should be restricted to police like C2 is. As for blowing off the hinges, that'd be based on distance probably, more often than not though it'd just open the door not remove it like large explosives.

    ACOG doesn't need to be nerfed, I can get behind the other scope's changes though
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    It actually makes it infinitely nicer to use, between the small sight picture and too much zoom it's really not very good as it is now, nor would it be with only increasing the sight picture. Here's an example at the "rifle" range, as it's not meant for sniping in the same way scopes are.

    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    To further demonstrate this. Here's a before and after for the ACOG at the "rifle" range. At the range it might seem helpful having that kind of zoom but in theory the small amount of zoom lets you track and sight in a target better especially when taking shots.

    I'm not sure if I should post it here but since you do the lighting I thought I'd send it just in-case, the Vaxuhal Insignia has Wig Wags on the front bumper but there is no lighting where it's positioned, I have a video below.

    Copy will do, I'll shoot you a PM, since I think there is a couple of others that have the same issue, unless it's all the same lighting setup for the Unmarks.
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    So in review, it does not have a place for the light per se, but I likely put it where it is simply because it does not have any other place available; as to ensure "recognition" that it is an emergency vehicle when its emergency lights are on. Plus as it is an undercover vehicle, we can make the excuse that the light is behind the black part, just tinted very dark otherwise.
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    Side note: I will correct the location of that sprite though as it seems oddly in a different place than it should be for the excuse to have any merit.
    StephenPuffs
    It wasn't planned but I am attempting to now improve the performance of fires. Though I do believe I have found a decent way to do it better than it has ever been. Fingers crossed.

    It looks better im ngl when playing thanks for atleast looking at what i said :)

    One thing to note, this may result in some of the scopes clipping into your face when taking a shot (mainly noticing with the M24 when using the bolt to load a new bullet into the chamber) but I think it's worth the tradeoff as it's minor and not a huge problem if you ask me.
    StephenPuffs
    So... I got bored of vehicles (I'll resume them shortly), so I did something else fun. I have changed up the fire effect to be a lot better if you ask me. There are more changes that could/should be done with fires but for now I focused solely on how they look.

    I'm getting a bit too much into the weeds with trying to correct all the shading, but I have done some fixes on the Cooper65, Transit (old one), and the Ford F100. I am also taking a look at their handling, no massive changes but some simply take longer than they should to reach top speed, so I am correcting that to what seems more reasonable. It should not take the entire length of the highway to reach 30MPH o_O

    @Creepis I mean some of the reason they were made slow is because they are larger vehicles so their top speeds were purposely made pretty low, however their acceleration times probably could use some rework to not be as terrible as it is now. Which is part of what I fixed with the Transit.

    I just mean overall like creepis said there multiple cars that could honestly use a buff, for example theres a few cars that drive like there on a ice rink would it be worth looking into?
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    I mean I will be reviewing each one's "drifting" or "handbraking" whatever term you prefer to ensure it acts appropriately. However, keep in mind that increased speed means longer times to come to a stop therefore some of them will still be able to skid from left to right regardless of any changes I make.
    StephenPuffs
    I have a list now of all the most commonly owned vehicles some are a bit surprising to me to be honest. However, I can now use this list to slowly make my way through them fixing some of the shading/graphical issues that some of you may have noticed improved with the latest update if you owned one of the listed vehicles. It should come as no surprise that first on my list is the Mini Cooper 65.

    I will make a caveat and say that some graphical issues are more possible to fix than others, so in my first pass through them all I cannot guarantee that they will be 100% done, but I will at least try to improve where I can. One big goal is to make the metal customization have a bit more effect overall if possible while not making them too gaudy.

    With cars being a major component of the gamemode I am curious where people feel the maintenance aspect currently lies. Exclude any financial consideration when voting. https://strawpoll.com/mpnb1N4BPy5

    For me personally the only annoying part is how far apart everything is when it comes to repairing your car
    Clarky
    Clarky
    I really don’t like how the wrenches function, that should be redone to work better with repair levels. I’m sure someone made a thread regarding how being level 100 actually stops you from repairing because you’re repairing too much with RC on whereas low repair level will allow more repairs
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    In fairness this was more about the overall sense of how much upkeep and amount of things that need to be maintained feels. Not necessarily where locations are or how items related to it function. So I can see if people think it is a lot to manage now or there could be some more added to it all while making it more of a unified thing.
    StephenPuffs
    So what does anyone think of the new emergency vehicle lights? I tried having them synced at one point but it just didn't look right with the new look. There may be some more to come with all that too.

    For the rear whites on police cars they should have a wig wag action like their counterpart in the headlights, it looks a little off for them both to be flashing at the same time. (If you couldn't tell I'm really into having neat flash patterns)
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    I appreciate the feedback but having them be contrary is less aesthetic than keeping the same color lit at a time. Otherwise it is even more visual clutter. I avoided any rapid flashing lights in the rear to avoid vehicle direction confusion, plus the rear blue ones are mainly an emergency vehicle identifier.

    your doing amazing work with the vehicles keep it up
    StephenPuffs
    So I have still been working away on a number of other changes and fixes primarily with vehicles. I've also done some proof of concept ideas for some new things that I hope to add, more on that another time.
    StephenPuffs
    More news with indicators that's way way overdue! The QOL update they've needed forever, along with all my other upcoming changes (release is TBD) indicators will finally turn off after you complete a turn. Not perfect but they will not toggle off if you turn the opposite way and allows small corrective turns so I consider that a win.
