    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....

    @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

    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).

    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?

    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.

    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.
