Combat Logger "The L button"

Features:

New Sound System [ FMOD integration ]
-Directional sound playback.
-Sound Attenuation, the further you are from the source, the softer it will be.
-Weapon firing sounds will now be heard even if the source is not seen.
-Suppression, Winded and Dazed will apply the shell-shock filter ( Muffled Sounds ).

This is very experimental and some sounds have not been ported yet, various tiny things.
The stability is questionable, so if you're crashing do report it.

Nice, long update though.

So once someone dies, they have 10 second timer to replicate? Or when they hit instant replicate it takes them 10 seconds?

[cirn0]

it takes them 10 seconds?

[Count Matthew]

Thanks for the hard work.

I like the currency changes as it gives some importance to who controls the core.

[RazorRamon]

First changelog that didnt make me mad in the last year

No more penalty so cant get killed in 0,2 seconds by burst weapons.
And solar changed to a high range incinerator is better than straight up nurfing it

[Caboose]

Great work guys.

Currency changes very exciting.

Better turn sound on for combat

I guess it is the second option. Otherwise, they might just remove defibrilators and stuff like that...

Other than that, i hope the new currency system won't prevent new players interested in faction switching... There wasn't much new switchers lately...

[FrankenStone]

lol fix da updater , it download old files , like tiles and stuff kek

[paragon]

emh, can you defib a guy pressed replicate?

Also when fire will be renamed into "Area of effect type of damage" and flamer will be removed?

[GermanTank78]

Good afternoon guys.

I just want to let you know Rick doesn't buy anymore "Relics" for example:
He offers now 50$ for each book you give him, but even lf you ask him 1$ he says "Your offer is not good enough"

Also Larry on the first floor doesn't trade any weapon for anything not even caps and also has the price changed ( RPK was 120 yesterday and today is 60 and soo on )

[naossano]

emh, can you defib a guy pressed replicate?

Nope, those who press "instant replicate" are those who don't want or cannot be revived.
Otherwise, if you want your buddies to revive you, you just wait normally.
There is no point in making the task harder for your them.

I did another Mini-patch

Explosions added to the new sound system!

Pricechecks:

Metal Armor Mk1 $2150
Combat Armor Mk1 $2250
Combat Shotgun $10000
Tommy Gun $3034
1x 12 ga. Shotgun Shell $20 (tier1 courtyard merchant)
10mm Pistol $1100

But also my own stuff is worth alot more, so i guess its okay. Still strange numbers. Cant check misc buyer, no time to scavange. No time for assigments either.
Will test later.

[Count Matthew]

The suppressed character gun noises were so great. Good stuff.

[Ratnik]

Game sounds... awesome! Now we need footsteps for detecting enemies, closer then 5 hexes. Or based on perception. Or smthx  

[Smalltime]

Now we just need positional VOIP, so can hear the kurwa of our enemies as they are driven before us.

That would be a mess.

"Friendly don't shoot!"  "Kurwa kurwa kurwa"    **loud disoriented microphone** "Can you guys hear me?"  "Hi" - Something count matthew will say "blayd, suka, blyad"

Turns around starts Ctrl bursting

Did an E assignment, payout was 90 mine scrip, which is still unusable in the HQ. In the mine 1 scrip is $10, while equipment has the same cost like in the HQ.
1x AK47 is worth like two class E assignments.

Selling misc items (guitars, briefcases, books, etc) does not really produce income, cuz the merchant still only has 1000-3000 caps on himself.

[John Porno]

random assignments and especially this mining stuff has been completely ignored in all of our recent changes because they will be taken out in next season anyway. All the future patches will gradually prepare the server for the wipe.

[ProfessorYanick]

A fuggen frag grenade worth 803$. So mad.
