#42.12.1 Unstable Released
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
having a 3D menu scene isn't that difficult tbh
i did it in roblox, didn’t get to make the character follow the mouse though
and making the character look at your mouse pointer is just trig and a few translation matrices
kinematics
yuppp
negl when i said that i had 2 meanings cuz i honestly thought them walking along with you mouse would be cool
I'm putting all my hopes on the push bug being fixed, and nothing else stopping me from playing PZ
i can’t play b42, what is that like?
it looks much better, it supports 4k display, and the crafting is significantly overhauled
plus animals
compltely different than 41 just animals alone are so fun and the map expansion and lighting
ouu yea i heard about that
the lighting was def my biggest interest also physics seem fun
I can't go back to 41
did you read the ideas for the character customization? imo that’s the part that needs the biggest rework, feels and looks very very simple and old fashioned
like google when it first came out how it was all boxy
no but have you tried the Spongie's Character Customization mod?
i hatee playing alone so i can’t until mp is out 😭 no rush tho i never had any major comolaijrs w b41 other than like
is that the one that gives you the hair images? i’ll have to look at it
what’s that?
oh lord 😭
yeah i use that mod, would be nice to have more base game variation in characters appearance. scars and tattoos and all that
i was mostly referring to the customization screens appearance
you have been blessed by Комолайжр
don’t know what you said but thanks
Now we just need that multiplayer button 
No patchnotes?
right there in first message, https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/87273-build-42121-unstable-hotfix-released/
Additional fixes, including a fix to the Shoving bug, will be provided in a 42.12.2 release. - Added priority logic for ballistic targets body part colliders: Head > Spine > Pelvis > Others, and updated camera target selection to prioritize body parts. This significantly improves headsho...
we can add notes to patches before sewing them onto clothes? Neat.
Epic
PZ Discord is the place to be, every random e-girl friend request originates from this server
find out which e-girls are real and then send them to the TIS HQ so they can help fix the shove bug
I think youre very horny for the shove bug fix
Vintage Story has a shove bug? that would be horrible, its a good game
PZ Discord e-girls are more liable to steal my shit than be useful to any extent
🤡
And there I go mixing game studios at 2 in the morning
If my options were an instant shove bug fix or an entire week of free access to an e-girl, I would fix the bug. You are correct.
Yeah the shove bug costs lives, that has priority
Ohhh you dirty littttleee... 😈😈
But honestly would pick up same option
Entire week of free access to an e-girl cant shove mf hordes of zombies... Fixed shove bug do can...
If it's any consolation, we think we've found the fix. It's being tested thoroughly
odds of hotfix before weekend guys?
Oh thats for the plebs sully not you haha I know you are SWORN TO SECRECY
I am sworn to secrecy, but it's generally bad practice in software to release a patch on a Friday... just saying
that being said, we've made mistakes before
the little smirk at the end hahaha
I vote you release only the shove bug fix on its own and nothing else and call it the orangutanion hotfix
Really I would be fine with just that fix if it means I get to zomb out over the weekend
I'm getting desperate
There's no secrecy about you enjoying this cryptic disposition to some degree i feel lol
Yeah that was intentionally cryptic and I’m sorry lol. Don’t read into it I was just having fun
The shove bug is the only thing holding up a hot fix. Once we are confident this fix is working and hasn’t broken something critical it will be released
Just call it a feature. Don't rely on FILTHY shoves which is a desperation move, but a chad hunk of wood you found on the ground.
No need to apologise, personally i've all the patience in the world for you guys to work on patches, i've been using the time i was spending on zomboid to work on my Stalker Run, and it's going awesomely
Yeah no apologies needed, I get it
Personally I think its hilarious and good hearted that you guys even come into this copium den and interact with the community so no worries!
If you apologise, I will hit kew so fucking uickly
I just have to find it
somewhere near dubyah
Knowledge lost from time
there is an STC that makes kew keys we must find it
It is fun going with running zombies where shouting is actual "remove the key at all costs" death, while walking zombies now are more managable so long as you are outside. I remember as a wee baby starting out, even 3 zombies was a death sentence.
people find others via the strangest of circumstances sometimes lol
New pz update will allow you to dropkick zombiea
When will the beggar profession be added? 
and the zombified trait? you're born as a zombie
hehehee
Alongside the caveman profession, I imagine. Would be nice to have a beggar profession to RP a college student or videogame writer, though.
bruh your mammoth would skewer you like a kebab lmao
IF A BULL took me out , imagine a freaking mammoth
This is how I die
we got another blog post from indiestone before GTA 6
hoyl shit i want animated frog
Oh shit i just got invited to a playtest, i forgor about this game
From the article btw
Build 42 players: the shove bug has been tracked down and a fix is now in testing. We should have a hotfix patch out early next week.
its fine lol
Remind me to chastise people for violating the "No ETAs policy"
Now I won't be bitching as much during the weekend
So maybe the ETA was a good idea, we shall see
WHAT ETA lol
"Early next week" for the patch
cocks shotgun
I know the team has been working on some neat stuff, would "volumetric fx" (that is to say, shadered / textured cube masses) be a possibility in the future.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I liked the new products, especially the sweatshirt, does TIS plan to add anything else for sale?
Prolly not
Caveman DLC
unplayable
Wow I hope somebody was fired for that blunder
lol where is that
cell 36,23
I love finding all these little discrepancies while making map mods, one "big" (it just appears a lot) one is that the rail road planks don't align on a certain set of tiles when it curves by a couple pixels.
S-tier Simpsons reference
Classic Simpsons my beloved
It's a grindstone broken, I can just sharpen a straight razor
this is ASS
Refunding on mass. Bankruptcy, even.
Where can I make a bug report?

tks
❤️
i have this saved
black cats for PZ would add some nice bad luck.
mfw I find a fully stocked basement
I can't wait to play Project Zomboid again tomorrow
I think the "add all that can fit" feature for firepits is the best thing that's ever happened
If we get in new animals in the future, we will get dogs?
It's kinda implied that they transmitted the Knox information
But still
Zombie sprinter dogs...
Yeah but
On the other side
If the knox infection just straight up kills them
Instead of turning
Then it would go incredibly hard to see streets littered with dead stray dogs
Immediately sets the tone
If I recall correctly, Dogs are something they want to do, but it won't be until the behavioural tech tree AI tech gets put in place in B43 and beyond
And no zombie animals in vanilla
I mean
Makes sense
But i think we need predator animals like wolves and bears before zombie animals
can we have fry plates
Knock yourself out 
🤣 
inb4 banned from suggestions
gonna have to mod that one in for the memes
lol and someone getting mad theres no fries on it
that means yes
guys were getting fry plate
genuine question... what is a fry plate... or is it just a plate of fries?
yes
okay... and why is this desired so much?
I am going to have to thoughtfully ponder on this for the next few days and get back with you

Wait, literally a plate with the image of french fries printed on it?
I feel like this is very in fitting with the early 90's Kentucky vibe.
Along that line, we also need commemorative cups from fast food restaurants
when are we getting this type of plate in PZ?
lol
😆

I was gonna say, now we need this as an emote but seems that has already been done, just not here 🤭
hahaha
we need some good cooking recipes.

Are you guys also aware of the bug that when you disable music your bags disapear?
I assume so since its pretty obvious
Repro steps?
On a fresh 42.12.1 save without mods, I'm not seeing any difference with equipped bags / bags in inventory when using the "Toggle Music" keybind.
also... never do this. Never assume we are aware... file a bug report instead

Ok will do! I can file a bug report! But here is all you have to do, its turning the slider all the way down, not the toggle.
I guess I didn't literally assume you knew about it because I asked haha
They come back with a reload even if the music is still turned all the way down
Interesting it also happens if you load a game with music turned down and turn it up
Ahh, the inventory icons, seeing the same on my end -- that's a weird one for sure.
Yay I found a bug, do I get a sticker
Version: [42.12.1] Mode: Singleplayer Mods: [None] Save: [New Save] Reproduction steps: 1. Turn on your computer 2. Crack a white monster and rip that PZ icon 3. Load a game 4. Change the music volume slider 5. Witness your inventory bag icons disappear.
Whatever the underlying reason was, I'm not seeing the same issue on the latest internal build, but I'll keep an eye on that one 🙏
I even reporterd it, am good boy
Oh sweet! Maybe it was related to the other music issues in some twisted way
fastest bug report/solve yet
TIGS giving out stickers for bugs now? Sick. How many stickers does this get me?

one thing about power outages in PZ if only certiain towns or cities get affected rather than the entire map at once.
a full blackout will just shut down entire regions at once, instead of single towns
especially if it comes from one of the larger substations
having one of the substations fail affecting one or 2 of the towns before reaching others.
the size of the map isnt that big in relation to the influence of a singular substation though
If it was bigger, i would indeed begin considering that as a feature
If not this, i would still like the blackout to be a bit gradual, i.e sounds of lights and devices going out closer and closer to you before that wave "passes" right by you
So maybe, things going out of power even just a very small bit later the further away from the substation they are would be cool
But no more than a few seconds really
The fact that lights don’t flicker before the power goes out.
True...
That'd be a cool thing to have as a indicator of a imminent power failure, too
yea lights flickering and maybe electronic ambience cutting out for a second
I mean its realistic isnt it
If a nuclear power plant would fail, it wouldnt just be one city
But tbh yeah mb a delay between cities?
Like first big ones, then smaller and smaller etc etc
They said that with the debug menu will be possible to switch on/off electricity in different cells.....i think i read it ia a thursdoid
Millions will cease shoving early this week
weired that oven not heating room
Ovens don't really heat home irl though. Unless it like one of those wood ovens
Do wood ovens heat the home? They absolutely should
im talking about room not home
put then hand on oven and tell me what you feel? 😄
I barely feel any heat when standing a foot away from an electric oven
I think it because the game doesn't have heating mechanics like that
weired that you can not put from pan to bowl 🙂
