New Points of Interest

In order to complement our updated RWG system, our Level Design team has added a ton of new content with over 75 new POIs that will be coming to Version 1.0.

Notable additions, improvements and efforts include:

New Zombie Variants and Zombie Updates

Our existing zombies didn’t get left out. Version 1.0 introduces several new zombie variants with unique outfits. Most have received several clothing, skin and hari variation options that spawn, giving large groups a more organic composition and promoting an immersive experience.

Notable additions include:

• A nurse from a children’s hospital with bears on her uniform
• A bowling alley-themed outfit for the fat Hawaiian zombie.
• Many more variants are coming, adding fresh visual elements to the game’s undead horde.
• The demolition zombie has received a complete model makeover, aligning with the newest generation of zombie models. This iconic foe now features an updated and more terrifying look.

World Lighting Graphics Update

The shader programming and technical art team have been busy adding in an overall improved lighting model that looks amazing. Improvements include:

• Overall more even and consistent lighting
• Over bright areas are toned down and areas that were too dark are easier to see
• Details in world and character models are more noticeable

• FSR has been added to the Graphics Options
  • AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) uses cutting-edge open upscaling and advanced frame generation technologies to help boost your framerates in supported games and deliver amazing high-quality, high-performance gaming on virtually any hardware.

Optimizations

We have worked hard to optimize the game for all SKUs. Efforts to make the game run on the consoles has paid off. Many optimizations have been done including:

• A new POI placement algorithm has been implemented to keep cities more performant placing lighter weight POIS around more expensive heavier weight POIs
• A ton of lighter weight remnant POIs have been made to lighten the weight of cities and give more variety in POIs
• A new zombie spawning throttling triggering system has been added to the level editor and the level designers have made use of it to keep the higher count POIS challenging but running better.
• Many art assets have had reduced draw calls or simproved settings in Unity to make them run more preformant
• The Cutout atlas has been removed
• A new window tinting system makes window glass opaque until you get close. Occluding the interior or exterior improves performance (moderately), especially for skyscrapers.
• Game updated to Unity 2022 LTS with better Vulkan and DX12 support (Note: DX12 performance seems worse than DX11)
• New lighting update manager
• Ambient occlusion better handles large amounts of props
• Block entities (props) spawn over multiple frames

Massive Progression Update

We have given a lot of attention to overall progression and balance in version 1.0. Here are some of the more notable improvements:

• Traders give less dukes and have nerfed rewards that no longer break progression.
• Trader inventories offer sales staged items for sale that are more appropriate for your character’s level.
• The game is a little more crafting oriented than in the past, and legendary items are now craftable.
• The end result is the game feels much more balanced and even in a coop team players will find themselves still engaged on day 70, single players even further.
• Crafting
  • Quality 6 crafting is back
• Tools/Weapons/Armor
  • Requires new Legendary Parts
• Traders/Biome order
  • Rekt – Forest
  • Jen – Burnt

• Armor
  • Quality determines perk level
  • Basic Example – Q1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50%

Legendary Crafting

• We have added new Legendary Parts which can be acquired in high end loot chests, and higher Trader rewards
• With these player can craft Legendary Q6 weapons, tools, and armor

Dew Collector Overhaul

The Dew Collector has been reworked. It now supports 3 workstation tools, one of which is a water filter. This change makes the Dew Collector available early in game, but it collects murky water without having the filter installed.

Enhanced Gore System

Along with the new Zombie variants comes the new and improved Dismemberment Gore System, ensuring consistent dismemberment across zombie types, and as a bonus, there are also brand-new blood splatter particles to complete the visceral experience of combat. 

With Version 1.0, the entire zombie lineup has been upgraded with new gore pieces, including a complete overhaul of recently updated zombies from past Alphas. This ensures all zombies are consistent with the latest technology, enhancing the game’s visual impact and immersion.

Updated Road Decals

Say goodbye to one of our last remaining legacy assets, our original Road Decals. They’ve been revamped, giving them a modern face-lift to help make the roads and lots of Navezgane County feel more lived in and legitimate. 

Players can now enjoy enhanced realism with updated road decals, featuring more detailed and immersive trash and debris scattered on the roads. This update adds another layer of authenticity to the game environment, making the post-apocalyptic world feel more lived-in and engaging.

Twitch Integration Update

The latest update introduces exciting new features for Twitch integration:

• Small Zombies: A new command that shrinks down the size of zombies, adding a fun and challenging twist to gameplay.
• On Screen Extension: Interactive Twitch features are now displayed directly on screen, enhancing the viewer and streamer experience.

These features provide more interactive and engaging content for both players and their audiences.

New World Borders

The game now features layered world borders, replacing the old radiation zones. The very outer layer is a no-go zone, preventing players from walking off the map. Just inside this is a no-build zone, ensuring players cannot build too close to the edge. As players approach the border, the area fogs up, providing a clear visual cue. This system allows more Points of Interest (POIs) to spawn near the map’s edges, increasing the playable area while communicating to the player you can’t go that way.

New Upgradeable Player Chests

Introducing player writeable storage boxes! Start with a basic wooden box, which can be upgraded to iron, and eventually to steel. Each upgrade increases the storage capacity, providing more space for your items. Additionally, these chests feature writeable areas that display custom text, allowing for easy organization and labeling of your stored goods. Up to three lines of copy can be added. Happy chest placing, survivors!

• Last but not least, a major optimization pass on almost all of the environmental art props to get ready for console. Including shader and texture optimizations, as well as mesh optimizations to improve game performance. 

Block Shape Updates

The environment Art team has been busy with many new block shapes to build with.
162 new shapes added to fill in missing shapes to roofs, railings, poles, stairs, and many more.
A few notable ones include:

• New UI navigation system that removes the virtual cursor
• Overhauled modern camera controls that are easier to use and can be extensively customized
• New aim assist systems for gamepads to aid with quicker targeting when aiming a weapon or swinging a melee weapon, and slowing the camera when passing over small interactable objects

Modding Notes

• Game updated to Unity 2022.3.29f1
• Updated HarmonyX to 2.13.0
• ModInfo: Now requires ModInfo in V2 format, also properties “Name” and “DisplayName” no longer optional as announced in Alpha 21
• XML parsing now supports “conditional” blocks:
  • Allows switching between different XML blocks based on conditions like game version, whether a certain mod is loaded etc
  • Can be evaluated once by the host when loading the XMLs so host and every client will have the same resulting XML or by each game instance separately, so that host and every client can have different effects, e.g. when based on a GamePref
  • Also supported on the top level of patch XMLs: These are always applied during XML loading
  • Detailed documentation will be added to the game’s wiki
• XML patches now feature a new instruction “include” which allows including another XML in place, e.g. to split up large XMLs into smaller pieces or – combined with the usage of conditional blocks – include different XML based on other conditions
• New XML “events.xml”: Allows defining date based events (like christmas, halloween etc) and use them with conditional XML blocks – have the pipe baton automatically use a candy cane shiv model during christmas season or pumpkins use a halloween based model during that time
• Z-Selection box for POI or world building now shows the current selection size
• Updated POI properties windows to reflect the current POI features
• Debugging:
  • Debug views (F3) now remember the selected elements
  • CVar filter box can no longer have the input focus when the mouse cursor is not enabled – avoids accidentally overwriting your filter while running around
  • FPS graph and network monitor available in releases
• Game assembly gets fully publicized members for easier code modding – each member that has changed access level gets an attribute “PublicizedFrom” attached that will tell you the original accessibility level. Accessing originally not public stuff is still meant to be a last resort if other approaches fail.
• New BlockCompositeTileEntity with respective TileEntityComposite
  • This is a generic TileEntity (TE) block which allows selecting which features it should have from XML (“compositing”)
  • Currently these features are supported:
    • Lockable: The TE can be locked
    • LockPickable: Players can pick the lock on the TE (only usable in combination with Lockable)
    • Signable: The TE can be written on. The prefab used for the TE will have to have properly set up TextMeshes – at least one but it supports as many as desired
    • Storage: The TE will have container features
  • These TE properly support up/downgrading, so for example a block that has Signable can upgrade to a block that supports Storage and Signable and keep its text
  • Adding new features does not require enumeration modifications so should be easier going forward to add custom TE features from mods
  • Example usage of these features can be seen on the new player storage blocks “cntWoodWritableCrate” and similar
• File lookup prioritizes files in user data (e.g. LocalPrefabs) over mods
• New game argument “-newprefabsmod=somemod” allows defining a mod in which new prefabs get stored instead of going to “LocalPrefabs”. Mod name is given by its internal name from its “ModInfo.xml”, not the folder name
• XUi changes:
  • Generic “repeat_content” attribute support for all views. For non-grid views the attribute “repeat_count” specifies the number of clones
  • Repeated elements automatically get fed with additional template parameters that can be used with template bindings (“${…}”):
    • For every parent view: “repeat_count” giving the number of elements as specified by “repeat_count” attribute and “repeat_i” incrementing by one for each created element, starting at 0
    • Additionally for grid views only: “repeat_col” and “repeat_row” giving the column and row the element will be in the grid – assuming the grid dimensions do not change later on
  • New attribute “disabled_tooltip_key” lets you define a tooltip that gets shown when hovering a disabled view
  • New attribute “force_hide” allows keeping a view invisible
  • New attributes for controller navigation:
    • “use_selection_box”: Should controller navigation show an outline around the selected view
    • “gamepad_selectable”: View can be selected with a controller
    • “nav_up”, “nav_down”, “nav_left”, “nav_right”: Manual override which view to select when pressing the respective direction on a controller
  • Texture views now support: Color tinting (“color” attribute) and for keeping the texture’s aspect ratio (attribute “original_aspect_ratio”)
• XML “extends” now allow excluding specified subclasses (like “UpgradeBlock” in blocks) so that all its children are actually excluded
• Changes to quests should no longer kill savegames’ character files – though the affected quests will lose their details in the quest log
• Plants tick correctly when placed on the same position as another plant was growing before – before the timer would potentially not reset thus accumulating the old and new growth times
• Perks can now have LevelRequirements for individual levels only instead of being required to be specified for all levels if done for at least one
• “Inventory.PUBLIC_SLOTS” is changed to be targeted by mods, making it easier to implement custom toolbelt sizes. Also a new property “SHIFT_KEY_SLOT_OFFSET” has been added that allows specifying which slots are meant to be targeted when using Shift + slot hotkey
• World Editor: Previews of POI now match the actual state when rotating them

TFP News Screen

We have moved the old shared menu news screen into a new skippable in-game News screen that has graphics and link support for all formats. This will be used to inform players on new patch updates and other TFP news.

Server Administration

Changes to serverconfig.xml:

• Setting “SaveGameFolder” has been removed. It is now always based on the “UserDataFolder”
• New setting “IgnoreEOSSanctions”: Allows ignoring EOS sanctions when players want to join servers. Defaults to false
• New setting “QuestProgressionDailyLimit”: Limits the number of quests that contribute to quest tier progression a player can complete each day. Quests after the limit can still be completed for rewards. Defaults to 3
• Web Dashboard
  • Complete control over server permissions (user levels, command permissions, web permissions etc)
  • Lots of small fixes and improvements to the frontend
  • Internal cleanup and code improvements

• Removed code which allowed MultiBlock shapes to be placed in overlapping configurations when god mode was enabled (overlapping placements are still allowed in edit mode). Fixed code which was intended to bypass the MultiBlock placement player collider check when god mode is enabled. 
• Added a new MultiBlockManager to resolve various cases where MultiBlock data could become inconsistent across chunk boundaries. The manager defers placement of POIowned MultiBlocks until all overlapped chunks are concurrently synced and have finished decorating. It also protects nonPOI MultiBlocks from being chopped in half by the chunk reset system, by grouping all overlapped chunks.
