Map Progress:

Flooded portion of town beginning to develop overgrowth

This week I finished detailing the environment and made tons of progress on filling in the some of the most time consuming locations: towns and cities. In the coming week I'll finish up the remaining work in the big city and move onto detailing the smaller locations.

Hopefully you DO LEARN your lesson about not glitching .

New Weaponry:

Two new guns planned for the new map were finished this week and can now be found in airdrops.

Map Progress:

This week I mostly finished decorating the landscape - I underestimated just how long it takes to place down all those boulders on the cliffsides so there's a few patches that still need doing.

Map Progress:

This week the map started properly taking shape with the rough landscape in place and the planned locations in their final spots, though a few new ideas have come to mind I'd like to work on soon. A couple places are somewhat detailed, this being one of the less spoilery ones:

Over the next week I'll be polishing/finalizing the landscape with materials, foliage, trees, boulders, erosion, etc and continuing to detail the locations themselves.

Map Progress:

All of the objects, nature assets and vehicles on my to-do list for the new map are now done! Though a few more are bound to come up as I go I think there's a lot of exciting stuff including suggestions going back several maps. The next step is creating the level itself: from the landscape to the decorations, spawns, lighting, etc.

I'd hoped to have some new content this update for you but ran out of time, so my goal is to work on some of the new items to release ahead of the map in the coming weeks while primarily focusing on the level itself.

Map Progress:

I made quite a bit more progress on the assets this week, and will continue with that next week hopefully wrapping up the objects/nature stuff before Friday, then leading into working on the map itself properly. Thanks for all the great suggestions/feedback - keep it coming!

One of the areas I mentioned last week that I worked on are the burning city assets which I teased here if you missed it:

But there's really a difference between sandbox and survival , the act of surviving against players and if you die , you either have to start again or start lesser than what you began with. Raiding and betrayals , semi RPs, Grinding - its really different that having to die and then spawn stuff again.

If you're asking as to why they wont go back anymore in your servers , as to what i seen - they got bored with your servers , like theres no action anymore , less and less players play on survival - there's no one for them to kill . that's why they quit . And as for me - im going to take a break from unturned ..

Well , they can make our balance 0 again , but theres no point doing it since my group doesnt have plans on going back anymore..

And on behalf of my friends who abused this bug , i shall accept any punishment that you admins will give to me.

Ahem , this bug has already been fixed several hours after i reported it , i believe it was you who was present at the time when i was showing Roadrunner the bug , as of now , only 7 people including u , me , roadrunner and the rest are my friends that are named us Phoenix and Jaime and some other , though i admit that we used this bug for quite some time now ( we discovered is since the release of the map of Overgrown in freezzer 8 ) for about 1 or 2 months then we stopped doing it , and then we stopped playing in the server ( just to point out that phoenix didnt abuse this bug , but i told him to promise me not to tell anyone even the staff , and please forgive phoenix for what he did keeping it from you staff and please forgive the rest of our group too who abused this bug , now that it is fixed - we cant do it anyone ) , The rest of my group doesnt have plans on playing in the server anymore so yeah - the money that were gained are now useless until the have plans on coming back but i dont think that will happen .

Last time i heared , you need 150+ Freezzer Server hours, so you may or may not be accepted since you do not meet the requirements ..

Map Progress:

This week I've been continuing work on the objects for the new map, Silo 22's big brother being the most exciting, and looking through the suggestions/feedback many of you have been posting.

If you have any city/town related ideas I'm especially curious to see those at the moment, for example Washington had the new largest city with overpasses and skyscrapers and Russia had the underground metro system, thinking of a few unique ones for this map like burned to the ground in rubble, flooded district, Coalition fortified encampment - no guarantees but along those lines.

My thinking with the zombie difficulty assets is to allow a new sort of progression where the higher tiered areas of the map have higher concentrations of the more challenging zombie types.

Very tangential but Silo 22 was the first object I made the same day we started planning Russia which got me really excited to release the map, I think it's kind of the centerpiece/setpiece, and these new bases have given me the same feeling again!

The goal for next week is to continue new objects, start on the landscape details and potentially begin making new items some of which might come out before the map. Update-wise the next version of Hawaii will ideally be ready sometime before this new map I'm working on.

Tutorials:

This week I also uploaded two new video tutorials:

Creating Custom Songs

Uploading Skins to the Curated Workshop

Unity 5.6:

My primary motive updating to Unity 5.6 was for the new navmesh system, but unfortunately the navmesh data cannot yet be saved/loaded at runtime. This means it would have to be re-calculated when loading the level bringing loading times up into several minutes at least, so we're stuck with the old system for the moment. Here's hoping Unity will add support for getting/setting the navmesh at some point in the future!

Note there's still a bug with canvas sort override in this version of Unity, so while dragging/dropping items in the Devkit still works you won't be able to see them.

What about just completely removing the new ingame group system so that everything will go back to the old group system , yeah the new group system helps alot but limiting the number of people per group is kind of unfair for those groups who play on freezzer that were already big before the new group update , it might not help with anything and might still end up with them just manually inviting people through steam, but atleast it slowed them down and not having almost half the server into 1 team.

I cant seem to find it anymore , but i am sure that it was mentioned somewhere.

KDR or total kills shows how much work and effort one has put into the server in achieving those stats, which can help in deciding how determined he is for the position he's applying and tells us that he has vast experience on Sandbox.

But i have seen in the past applications as to where the staffs are saying that the kills and/or KDR ingame doesnt matter with your application for staff , i dont exactly remember which staff application it was but i saw it being mentioned.

it looks fine to me but i am wondering why there is two madmaxs on this forum or is it a second account

His name is MADAX not MADMAX

I'm not trying to shame you (madax) or something but can i just mention that the KDRs doesnt matter on the staff applications? Why does everyone include their KDR to the applications?
