Alpha 17.3 just released

We’ve just released Alpha 17.3 B18 Stable For A17.3 we have set focus on bug fixes and RWG. We have fixed the issue which caused chunks to be reset to their original state, often affecting players’ bases. To report bugs please go here: Alpha 17.3 B18 Bug Reporting Thread RWG For RWG we worked over to remove the POI replication spawns (radio tower cities), reworked the roads so be more vehicle-friendly, overworked the world layout and adjusted the placement of POIs and cities. This framework we are backporting to 17.3 is part of a larger Alpha 18 plan to make it awesome. Added gfx console command (key changes shader keywords, pp changes postprocessing, type gfx for help). God casting to debug mode (shift+Q key moves you to where you are looking or 100m if nothing hit) Giveselfxp should not be modified by XP multiplier (added help command) Explosions wake sleepers even if no damage Changed Quests now will try to find closer POIs. One repair kit will be sufficient to fully repair one item. Stack size reduced to 25. Sun and moon to rise in east and set in west (sun has southerly track, moon northerly) Stars to track east to west and is slower Zombies don’t trigger infection right now Wearable items no longer able to be activated when on toolbelt Increased breath hold duration of Olympic Swimmer Rebalanced stealth noise levels Clarified the description of several stealth perks Explosions on zombies to just damage closest collider like animals Sledgehammer is paying out 25% harvest amount Fixed Some fences upgrade to full sized blocks Stag and Doe often stand after death Mac rendering very bright and washed out Burnt zombie sound radius is too large World light levels are inconsistent with time of day (fixed moonlight jump at midnight, moonlight angle, redid horizon light angle clamping) Harvest amount is paid out 2x Rocket launcher explosions are no longer doing the damage listed in xml Forges are never really off and waste fuel Easy camera clipping exploit in A17 with e.g. ramps Pistol silencer blocking iron sights Jacket (white one) when worn will render upper torso transparent Removed Christmas items from loot table Small typo in rwgmixer.xml prop instead of prob Smelt in system of forge carries over time to dragged over items 3rd person anim delay when throwing molotov XP pop out value is not updated on second block when upgrading blocks. Mining helmet will not turn on if equipped from the tool belt Burning shaft mod flame effect can transfer to other items on the toolbelt Mats in crafting queue are lost on re-log Holding shift key does decreases speed on ladder and in godmode Night vision goggles no longer working Mining helmet light doesn’t show for second players Player can consume any consumable while mounted in vehicle but will not get the buff/debuff on sp and mp (disabled Use in vehicles) Game crash while in 4×4 inventory makes vehicle unusable Zombies can walk between pillars size 50 and defeat players traps Client Molotov doesn’t hurt other client Crafting timer doesn’t advance properly when the chunk is unloaded Double swing with melee weapons Reflex sight + ak and 4x zoom break weapon hold and camera when switched when zoomed in Clients see bow hold animation of other clients holding a club Crafting items finish nearly instantly after another the item in the first slot is cancelled Smelt in system of forge carries over time to dragged over items. XP gained shown when level up is reached is limited to amount required to level up.
