    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.

    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 look forward to seeing what you cook up! Any hints on the direction you'll be taking when you're done reworking stuff?

    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

    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?
    StephenPuffs
    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

    On the contrary, adding it so they automatically turn on will give people less of an excuse if they are pulled over. RTU would actually benefit from this as they have to manually turn them off.

    If anyone is voting "No" for performance concerns, let me say this: A tank of fuel doesn't last a very long time, so in all likelihood not much would change from how it is now because people will still need to turn their vehicle on and off several times throughout a day so vehicles aren't likely to keep the headlights on all through the day as well. EVs may be an exception but that is their responsibility to manage.

    I've been playing with r_shadows 0 for as long as I can remember, no performance loss for me!

    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.
