Stephen, as a fellow esports player that doesn't use native res the messages app looks like my grandpas phone! My eyesight is bad but not 10x accessibility mode bad
You'll find out why soon enough that the stuff I kept talking about was delayed. It is worth it if you ask me. Now onto new things! So as usual, expect some more polls ahead. Better than tolls right?
I know I said it would be last weekend, but I was working on some final refinements to a few things that I wanted to get just right. So instead I will plan for having it ready to enjoy over this upcoming weekend rather than at the end of it. That said, here is a new poll for you all. https://strawpoll.com/e6Z2AbNqGgN
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.
So currently I am looking at next weekend to publish the changes I have been working on. Nothing crazy but some good QoL things for now, both mentioned on here and some that I have kept secret.
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.
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.
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.
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'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.
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.
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
Random question for anyone willing to vote. This only would apply to non-residential buildings, given how the map is near many limits to add more things. https://strawpoll.com/XmZRQmM63gd
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.
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
