    Nope, I am just enjoying the idea that the crafted amounts are actual predictions. When really people should be crafting them all for fun and to have collector's items.

    Wdym 1 correct, 0 wrong? If it’s about the games none of the games have finished so how are any correct yet?
    I could just be being retarded here which is why I’m asking
    StephenPuffs
    So for fun I will be taking the the number of confetti cannons that exist at the end of their crafting day as the amount of support there is for a team to win and I will announce who the PH community favors on their match day.

    Starting today with South Africa and Canada.

    It's a close one... The community favors Canada to win 53% to 47%!

    Done.

    Honestly, that clip does look bad but if that actually hit them it should have killed so it'd be helpful to know if it did and failed to kill or server registered it as a miss. I don't know why it would've missed since neither your or their motions were erratic. :confused:

    wait so theres only 2 teams a day,even if 8 teams play toomorrow
    StephenPuffs

    South Africa and Canada play on the 28th so they are craft-able on the 27th (and early hours until server restart).

    On the 29th, there are 6 teams that play, so they will be available to craft on the 28th (same idea as before).

    And so forth.

    I don't see where you're finding a day with 8 teams playing.

    Here is the M4A1 with the SCAR-L's fire rate and vice versa. You'll note that the M4A1 is much more controllable like this, so with the other changes made to firearms since their initial release, we may need to look at balancing some factors with them too.
    M4A1:

    For the sake of transparency, here is me trying the M4 with its current normal fire rate. It is far worse in so many ways.
    Clarky
    Clarky
    On 1% sales tax, fully kitted (red dot, comp) m4 is $20,220 and scar is $19,947 so the price difference for these two guns particularly aren't much of concern as it's only a very small margin. I think it would be a good starting point to unify them at least then tweak them accordingly to how it is valued, it would be more refined to some extents where its applicable.

    @Clarky I don't necessarily mean price difference between these (though it still favors the SCAR), but some other ones which share calibers, amongst their group may have a large price disparity, in which case it gets a bit tricky. I will need to pour over the numbers and see what can be done in some cases I guess.

    Here's what the WC26 confetti cannons will be like tomorrow. Given that on Sunday is South Africa vs Canada those will only be available on Saturday (tomorrow). Eventually I may see if I can make a custom skin to identify them too.

    When you did the headlights turning on automatically at night, did you also intend for it to apply to player's flashlights as well? I've noticed that when it's night and I respawn as a cop, my flashlight is automatically turned on. Not sure if there is a direct correlation but thought I'd point it out :D

    Completely different systems and that was a thing before my change for that. Not definitive proof but the best way I can show it.

    So the confetti cannons would seem to be ready for when the knockout stages begin. I also altered the confetti effect a little in general. They also get a special tag so you can't scam when selling.
    Reminder: they will only be craftable the day before the teams play so the losing team will not be available again, so be sure to make plenty when you can.

    I'd have to look at the overall schedule but if there is a suitable day close to the final, I may make all the teams that were knocked out during the group stage available for a day. Just so there is a complete set for all teams that competed in the Cup as a whole.
    StephenPuffs
    Currently the World Cup going on, you may not be a fan of the sport, but in an effort to make limited time items... Starting soon, I will be making it so you can craft a confetti cannon that fires the national colors of that team. They will only be available each day for the teams playing the next day, so losing teams will not be around for long, you will not know which to craft more of than another.

    One week later. I think I now have the initial rework in a usable place which also allowed me to make some QoL changes that weren't possible before which will be nice. That said, now to redo another thing, but hopefully that one should be painless and then the real fun begins.

    Also in a couple days I plan to announce something I have been thinking about recently which will have an effect sooner than later. So stay tuned for that, as I think it could be fun and has been a topic of discussion lately.
    StephenPuffs
    Yay for extensively redoing existing systems :dead: to make it possible to expand on them going forward. Good news it is coming along smoothly and I should be able to get back on track soon. Which I can't wait to do, as it will be exciting stuff I hope.

    I can't reveal much yet but I have made some of the assets that will be needed. It's something thats a bit overdue but should be a fun change of pace for those who decide to do it.

    My hint would be that it's a long standing thing people often do in PH but hasn't seen a lot of additions in a long time. So it's really time to get some more going with it.

    Is it just me or is there no way that V6 has been out for 1 year-ish already? It's been so much better not having people walking onto the highway constantly. Not to mention just looking at the city from the lookout point is incredible if you ask me. Amazing Paralake has become since V1 in so many ways.

    walking across intersection in v5 was a rite of passage for many sweatervests, this has evolved into being run over on the crosswalk outside PD. PERP is beautiful....
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    @Steward No, probably not. V6 was made out of necessity due to highway changes which meant we needed to change all areas to allow for it making V6 basically a whole new map. V7 will be still some large scale changes most likely but not to the extreme of V6. Plus this will mean we can hopefully release it quicker than V6 took. Not to say soon but sooner.

    Has it really been two weeks since I last posted? Some stuff I've been doing you may notice and some you may not as there haven't been update posts. Like /org being blocked during NLR. TeamSpeak already was and /org is the text equivalent so it should have been a long time ago.

    I get ur point of view “don’t die” if u wanna talk to ur org. But if ur doing a raid u may need to act as “bait” and get killed forcing someone out of a position so ur org can win the raid.
    Not sure if its possible but maybe a solution for it could be if someone had died in an area of other people in their org they can’t communicate with them but can with the rest of the org etc

    the water effects around the wheels when it is raining while you're driving is sick, I love it
    StephenPuffs

    Death is something that ideally should be avoided at all costs. We have always chosen to not punish players through monetary or excessive item loss when they die as it is. Missing a few minutes worth of communications is trivial if you ask me. There might be annoying edge cases like the police example. Generally you will spawn in the same vicinity anyways, so you can wait around spawn then chat from there.

    There wasn't any official update post but if you wish to try out the body lifting yourself simply hold your reload button (commonly R) while dragging a body/bodybags. It's best to grab when close to the body and nearest the middle of the body as you can and don't move too much while doing so. Let me know what you think.

    it doesn't really work for me after i lift it a little. I still think jump throwing bodies and items was much better tbh
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    As has been stated a million times. Throwing was never an added feature, it was just something possible like the body slinging (see previous post). I don't know what removed it exactly nor do I plan to revert what was changed at the time. I will make further changes with body lifting probably but it still can work as needed once you learn how to do it best.
    StephenPuffs
    I'm sure many people at this point miss body tossing. More specifically, being able to move bodies and bodybags over railings or many other obstructions. Good news is, I have worked on something that allows for this, but it does not throw the body like it used to; instead it will raise the body up and over what is in front of you (if done properly).
    StephenPuffs
    So... Looking through all the guns, I'm not saying it's impossible to fix but it will require a ton of work, so may not happen first thing. That said, I will try to make steps that would help correct it as possible.

    Basically as it is now, I'll fix one but that then messes up the rest. So if one is correct then others will be wrong. It just will take a long time to change what's needed to make it work as it should.
    StephenPuffs
    So the first day and a half were fun weren't they? :facepalm: Now that the soft lock is fixed; how are we liking the update? I will keep looking for more things to improve and fix.

    I think I see what you're talking about now. I will look into this and see how easy it is to fix. Fingers crossed it isn't different for each and every gun as that'll be a looooong project but still... I'll do what I can.
    StephenPuffs
    StephenPuffs
    Oof. Looks like it's a per gun thing, in some cases minor, in other cases quite large. At least for the meantime it goes where the real aim shows, not where the crosshair appears in some ways, so it doesn't rely on people using that. That said, I will work on this and get it done before moving to something further that's new.

    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?
