7daystodie.com - A19 Official Release Notes

[RHG_BOT 3]

Hey Survivors,
We are proud to announce that the Alpha 19 Stable is out! The build has many great fixes, balance improvements and much more. Here are the full Official Release Notes, the forum bug reporting pool.

Forum Bug Reporting Pool

Alpha 19 is not compatible with previous Alpha worlds or save game data. New Pregen-Maps have been created and can be used. We also advises you to delete you 7 Days save Game data folder before playing.

TFP is extremely excited for this release. It’s as big as the last couple alphas and is packed full of new content, bug fixes, optimizations, and game balancing. Read on for more information!

Alpha 19 Official Release Notes

Linear Color Space Lighting

Alpha 19 has gotten a huge visual upgrade with the switch to Linear Color Space Lighting. We have finally achieved full PBR Physically Based Rendering and all of the art has been adjusted to look better and compatible with it. Normal maps look better, bright lights don’t wash out the scene and so much more. It’s hard to describe why it looks better you’ll have to play it to see for yourself.

The video option to adjust gamma has been changed to brightness, so it works with the new lighting. It also has a more balanced range of darker to lighter adjustment.

Lights now use a priority system, so close lights are updated rapidly to reduce visible jumps in their intensity and range.

Interactive Loading Screen

We added a brand new interactive loading screen with over 20 tool-tips on how to play the game from basic to advanced. The user can cycle back and forth through them and learn how to play the game better while it’s loading. It also looks better with new HD screenshot backgrounds.

Improved Game-pad Support

We have combed through all game-pad functions making sure everything is up to date and working and we also improved defaults like for driving. Additionally we added a new reverse directions for block rotation placement.

New Survival System & Critical Injuries

We gutted the old ISS or interactive survival system that blackened and clamped your health and stamina bars from filling because it was confusing to players. We replaced it with an all new critical system.
All critical injuries that blacken or clamp your max health or stamina will be caused by a new critical buff on the left of the screen. These new critical buffs are clickable, taking the player directly to the player status effect screen where you can read about the problem and its cure.

When you are at full health a zombie can never cause a critical on the first hit so we don’t want to hear about unfair crits! =) Once you take a few hits, or get reckless in close combat the chances increases. Being at low health also increases the chance of receiving a critical. Armor reduces this chance by a flat amount, creating a buffer that enemies must overcome before they can hit you with criticals.
Some criticals are incremental. A sprained arm makes you vulnerable to getting a broken arm.
Some injuries don’t take kindly to being ignored. Sprinting or jumping with a broken leg will not work in your favor. If an injury is affected by an action like that then the buff icon will blink briefly and you will know that something happened.

New and reworked critical injuries include:

• Abrasions – The most common injury that you get in fights. They cause no additional problems.
• Sprained or Broken Arm – Lowers your swing speed and decreases your reload speed and weapon handling. The cure for a broken arm is a splint which lowers the time for healing. Power attacks or ranged attacks increase the time needed to heal it.
• Sprained or Broken Leg – Lowers your mobility and jump height. You can get a sprained or broken leg in a melee fight or when jumping from heights. The cure for a broken leg is a splint which lowers the time for healing. Jumping, falling or sprinting increase the time needed to heal it.
• Deep Lacerations – Make you more vulnerable to receiving bleeding criticals. They are cured by a first aid kit or sewing kit.
• Concussion – Taking more hits while being stunned can cause a concussion. It periodically causes a stun effect and is cured by painkillers.
• Infections – Infection is not something that enemies cause directly. Any critical hit has a chance to cause an infection. An infection is completely harmless until it reaches 5%. At that point it starts getting worse and you need medication to cure it. While you have an infection any hit you take will make it worse.

Food and Water Bars

We’ve added food and water UI bars under the players belt inventory. The blue bar is for your water level and green for is for your food level. You will see them go up and down based on your current hunger and thirst levels.

HD Characters

We have overhauled and re-imagined many of the characters in HD. They may look better but they have less draw calls and are slightly better in performance. New HD zombies include:

• Zombie Arlene
• Zombie Darlene
• Zombie Marlene
• Zombie Boe
• Zombie Joe
• Zombie Moe
• Zombie Yo
• Zombie Steve
• Big Mama Zombie
• Crawler Zombie
• Trader Jen
• Trader Joel
• Player arms – male and female

Dynamic Music System

TFP have again teamed up with Native Darkness Productions to make the Alpha 19 Dynamic music system more robust while adding a ton of new content and features.

The propriety Dynamic Music System algorithm measures and uses many player-centric conditions such as player location, biome, time of day, inside or outside a location, nearby aggressive enemies, threat level and more to tailor a custom movie like musical experience for the player.

From this Dynamic Music System algorithm the system can play from the following musical groups: Home day music, home night music, exploration, suspense, combat and custom trader music for each trader.

Exploration, suspense and combat are procedurally generated providing a complete musical arrangement from a set of interchangeable loops. As of Alpha 19 there, are 31,558 unique combinations of music.

Music volume, daily allotted probability and On/Off toggles are available in the audio menu.

We are very excited to unveil this system and we hope you enjoy this new addition to the 7 Days soundscape.

Loot Progression/Balance

Loot distribution has been smoothed out so that you do not find end game loot too soon and have no more upgrades to look forward to.

Loot has been balanced to provide a smooth progression from primitive, iron and steel items. This change provides a steady progression for the player and gives some incentive to craft, while slowing the economy a bit early game.

The loot quality for player parties is equivalent to that of the highest level player and perk effects like Lucky Looter are not shared. The only loot advantage is that parties face tougher opponents which have a higher chance to drop loot of better quality.

There are 4 tech levels of items in the game. These start appearing in loot at the following Game-Stage intervals.

• Tech 0 (GS 1-11) – Primitive tools, weapons and armor including a bow and the blunderbuss.
• Tech 1 (GS 12) – Iron or similar melee items and armor and and the first proper firearms like a pistol or double barrel shotgun.
• Tech 2 (GS 50) – The best melee items, bows and armor and mid range firearms like a pump-action shotgun.
• Tech 3 (GS 91) – The most advanced firearms like an M60 or the Sniper Rifle.

Trader quest rewards scale similar to this system. You won’t immediately get a shotgun for a day one quest.

We will be continuing to fine tune loot progression in patches. In the future we plan on unifying loot progression, quest loot reward progression and trader for sale item progression more unified. We are planning on having biomes and/or POI with both harder enemies and better loot.

Enemy Progression/Balance

Enemy progression has been re-balanced. The chosen game difficulty no longer affects the game-stage value and player parties accumulate roughly 2/3 of the combined game-stage that they used to. This makes the enemy difficulty grow slower you won’t see high end enemies on the 2nd blood moon.

On Screen Sprite System

We added a brand new Nav Objects On-Screen Sprite System to help players more easily locate important items in the world such as fetch quest containers, player backpacks, spears and more. We are using this system on many of the harder to find important items and events in the game.

The new Nav Objects On-Screen Sprite System, which govern the On Screen Icons, Compass Icons and Map Icons. These functions are easily configured in the XML and allow adding custom Nav Objects for Entities, Quest Objectives and Items for those who enjoy modding the game.

Some of the items that are using the new Nav Objects On-Screen Sprite System include:

• Quest Rally Markers
• Quest Fetch Objects
• Dropped Player Backpacks
• Player Bedrolls
• Player owned vehicles
• Traders
• Thrown spears
• Air Drops

Quest Improvements

We have improved many of the quest types and even added new quests here are some of the improvements

• Quest Sprites – We have implemented the on screen sprite markers for rally markers, traders, fetch bags, dig quests and more making it much easier for players to go where they need to go and find what they need to find.
• Dig Quests – The dig quests have been improved displaying a projected image of a dotted circle onto the terrain showing the player where to dig. As the player digs out terrain blocks the projected circle shrinks letting the player know he is getting closer to the buried treasure.
• Opening Routes – We have added new trader to trader quests that guide the player to the next closest trader after completing 10 quests. This continues until the player has delivered a package to all 5 traders.

World and Location updates

Random Gen Improvements

Random world generation has undergone a few changes to help improve generation.

Dynamic Resolution

A dynamic resolution system has been added that allows the game to draw 3d graphics at a lower resolution than the main game window is running at. This can increase FPS while allowing the UI to run at full resolution.

Dynamic resolution is disabled by default. It can be enabled in the Display tab of Video Options. There are three settings:

• Dynamic Resolution Mode
  • Off – Disables
  • Auto – Enables it and will change resolution based on your FPS. This uses some video memory.
  • Scale – Enables it at a fixed resolution. Useful if you are trying to hit a specific FPS value like 60 and prefer a constant resolution. This uses less video memory than Auto.
• Dynamic Resolution Min FPS – When Mode is Auto and running below this FPS value it will decrease the 3d resolution.
• Dynamic Resolution Scale – The percentage to scale down 3d rendering when mode is Scale.

Lowering your screen resolution will only increase FPS if your video card (GPU) is the bottleneck. If your CPU is the bottleneck, a lower resolution will not increase FPS.

Analytics and Telemetry

We have partnered with Super Nimbus and GameSparks to capture game analytics from Alpha 19 to Gold. We plan on capturing many things to help balance the game and improve the overall experience only generic game-play data all of which is already been covered in our EULA. For Alpha 19 we are capturing the most important data for balance and progression.

Some things we are capturing include:

• Game simulation settings
• How XP is earned
• How players die
• How players kill enemies
• The speed of player leveling
• Loot Progression at key points

We are not capturing and storing any personnel information from users such as

• IP addresses
• Names
• Steam usernames
• Device Names
• Anything that can be used to identify any particular user

Hey Survivors,
We are proud to announce that the ‘Alpha 19 B-180 Experimental’ is out! The build has many great fixes, balance improvements and much more. Here are the full Official Release Notes, the forum B-180 Release Notes and how to opt in.

B-180 Forum Release Notes

This is how you access the A19 Experimental build:

1. Right click on the game in steam
2. Click on properties
3. Click the “betas” tab
4. The drop down menu will have latest_experimental available <— you want THAT
5. Select that and wait for the game to download.

Alpha 19 is not compatible with previous Alpha worlds or save game data. New Pregen-Maps have been created and can be used. We also advises you to delete you 7 Days save Game data folder before playing.

TFP is extremely excited for this release. It’s as big as the last couple alphas and is packed full of new content, bug fixes, optimizations, and game balancing. Read on for more information!

Alpha 19 Official Release Notes

Linear Color Space Lighting

Alpha 19 has gotten a huge visual upgrade with the switch to Linear Color Space Lighting. We have finally achieved full PBR Physically Based Rendering and all of the art has been adjusted to look better and compatible with it. Normal maps look better, bright lights don’t wash out the scene and so much more. It’s hard to describe why it looks better you’ll have to play it to see for yourself.

The video option to adjust gamma has been changed to brightness, so it works with the new lighting. It also has a more balanced range of darker to lighter adjustment.

Lights now use a priority system, so close lights are updated rapidly to reduce visible jumps in their intensity and range.

Interactive Loading Screen

We added a brand new interactive loading screen with over 20 tool-tips on how to play the game from basic to advanced. The user can cycle back and forth through them and learn how to play the game better while it’s loading. It also looks better with new HD screenshot backgrounds.

Improved Game-pad Support

We have combed through all game-pad functions making sure everything is up to date and working and we also improved defaults like for driving. Additionally we added a new reverse directions for block rotation placement.

New Survival System & Critical Injuries

We gutted the old ISS or interactive survival system that blackened and clamped your health and stamina bars from filling because it was confusing to players. We replaced it with an all new critical system.
All critical injuries that blacken or clamp your max health or stamina will be caused by a new critical buff on the left of the screen. These new critical buffs are clickable, taking the player directly to the player status effect screen where you can read about the problem and its cure.

When you are at full health a zombie can never cause a critical on the first hit so we don’t want to hear about unfair crits! =) Once you take a few hits, or get reckless in close combat the chances increases. Being at low health also increases the chance of receiving a critical. Armor reduces this chance by a flat amount, creating a buffer that enemies must overcome before they can hit you with criticals.
Some criticals are incremental. A sprained arm makes you vulnerable to getting a broken arm.
Some injuries don’t take kindly to being ignored. Sprinting or jumping with a broken leg will not work in your favor. If an injury is affected by an action like that then the buff icon will blink briefly and you will know that something happened.

New and reworked critical injuries include:

• Abrasions – The most common injury that you get in fights. They cause no additional problems.
• Sprained or Broken Arm – Lowers your swing speed and decreases your reload speed and weapon handling. The cure for a broken arm is a splint which lowers the time for healing. Power attacks or ranged attacks increase the time needed to heal it.
• Sprained or Broken Leg – Lowers your mobility and jump height. You can get a sprained or broken leg in a melee fight or when jumping from heights. The cure for a broken leg is a splint which lowers the time for healing. Jumping, falling or sprinting increase the time needed to heal it.
• Deep Lacerations – Make you more vulnerable to receiving bleeding criticals. They are cured by a first aid kit or sewing kit.
• Concussion – Taking more hits while being stunned can cause a concussion. It periodically causes a stun effect and is cured by painkillers.
• Infections – Infection is not something that enemies cause directly. Any critical hit has a chance to cause an infection. An infection is completely harmless until it reaches 5%. At that point it starts getting worse and you need medication to cure it. While you have an infection any hit you take will make it worse.

Food and Water Bars

We’ve added food and water UI bars under the players belt inventory. The blue bar is for your water level and green for is for your food level. You will see them go up and down based on your current hunger and thirst levels.

HD Characters

We have overhauled and re-imagined many of the characters in HD. They may look better but they have less draw calls and are slightly better in performance. New HD zombies include:

• Zombie Arlene
• Zombie Darlene
• Zombie Marlene
• Zombie Boe
• Zombie Joe
• Zombie Moe
• Zombie Yo
• Zombie Steve
• Big Mama Zombie
• Crawler Zombie
• Trader Jen
• Trader Joel
• Player arms – male and female

Dynamic Music System

TFP have again teamed up with Native Darkness Productions to make the Alpha 19 Dynamic music system more robust while adding a ton of new content and features.

The propriety Dynamic Music System algorithm measures and uses many player-centric conditions such as player location, biome, time of day, inside or outside a location, nearby aggressive enemies, threat level and more to tailor a custom movie like musical experience for the player.

From this Dynamic Music System algorithm the system can play from the following musical groups: Home day music, home night music, exploration, suspense, combat and custom trader music for each trader.

Exploration, suspense and combat are procedurally generated providing a complete musical arrangement from a set of interchangeable loops. As of Alpha 19 there, are 31,558 unique combinations of music.

Music volume, daily allotted probability and On/Off toggles are available in the audio menu.

We are very excited to unveil this system and we hope you enjoy this new addition to the 7 Days soundscape.

Loot Progression/Balance

Loot distribution has been smoothed out so that you do not find end game loot too soon and have no more upgrades to look forward to.

Loot has been balanced to provide a smooth progression from primitive, iron and steel items. This change provides a steady progression for the player and gives some incentive to craft, while slowing the economy a bit early game.

The loot quality for player parties is equivalent to that of the highest level player and perk effects like Lucky Looter are not shared. The only loot advantage is that parties face tougher opponents which have a higher chance to drop loot of better quality.

There are 4 tech levels of items in the game. These start appearing in loot at the following Game-Stage intervals.

• Tech 0 (GS 1-11) – Primitive tools, weapons and armor including a bow and the blunderbuss.
• Tech 1 (GS 12) – Iron or similar melee items and armor and and the first proper firearms like a pistol or double barrel shotgun.
• Tech 2 (GS 50) – The best melee items, bows and armor and mid range firearms like a pump-action shotgun.
• Tech 3 (GS 91) – The most advanced firearms like an M60 or the Sniper Rifle.

Trader quest rewards scale similar to this system. You won’t immediately get a shotgun for a day one quest.

We will be continuing to fine tune loot progression in patches. In the future we plan on unifying loot progression, quest loot reward progression and trader for sale item progression more unified. We are planning on having biomes and/or POI with both harder enemies and better loot.

Enemy Progression/Balance

Enemy progression has been re-balanced. The chosen game difficulty no longer affects the game-stage value and player parties accumulate roughly 2/3 of the combined game-stage that they used to. This makes the enemy difficulty grow slower you won’t see high end enemies on the 2nd blood moon.

On Screen Sprite System

We added a brand new Nav Objects On-Screen Sprite System to help players more easily locate important items in the world such as fetch quest containers, player backpacks, spears and more. We are using this system on many of the harder to find important items and events in the game.

The new Nav Objects On-Screen Sprite System, which govern the On Screen Icons, Compass Icons and Map Icons. These functions are easily configured in the XML and allow adding custom Nav Objects for Entities, Quest Objectives and Items for those who enjoy modding the game.

Some of the items that are using the new Nav Objects On-Screen Sprite System include:

• Quest Rally Markers
• Quest Fetch Objects
• Dropped Player Backpacks
• Player Bedrolls
• Player owned vehicles
• Traders
• Thrown spears
• Air Drops

Quest Improvements

We have improved many of the quest types and even added new quests here are some of the improvements

• Quest Sprites – We have implemented the on screen sprite markers for rally markers, traders, fetch bags, dig quests and more making it much easier for players to go where they need to go and find what they need to find.
• Dig Quests – The dig quests have been improved displaying a projected image of a dotted circle onto the terrain showing the player where to dig. As the player digs out terrain blocks the projected circle shrinks letting the player know he is getting closer to the buried treasure.
• Opening Routes – We have added new trader to trader quests that guide the player to the next closest trader after completing 10 quests. This continues until the player has delivered a package to all 5 traders.

World and Location updates

We added a ton of new locations to the game including remnants. These give the player easier low enemy count locations to explore, loot and take over if your not ready for a Tiered challenge.

Random Gen Improvements

Random world generation has undergone a few changes to help improve generation.

• Biome generation – We have made biomes random in placement and size to allow for less predictable layouts.
• Trader World Placement – Trader world placement was separated from regular wilderness POI placement so it could be made more predictable.
• Player Spawns – Initial player spawns were changed to make starting out easier for new players.
• POI Distribution – We have improved Random Gen in to use every POI possible in the game so players will see the breadth of content like never before. Random Worlds can now have over 500 unique POIs that can spawn!
• Pregen Maps – We re-created 3 brand new alpha 19 pregenerated maps to play

Animation Improvements

• Added rigs and content created for support on new weapons and tools including: Impact Driver, Auto Shotgun, Desert Eagle, Sharpshooter Rifle, Double Barrel Shotgun (reworked model), Junk Drone, Junk Sledge, and Ratchet.
• Added fall/land animations to support new fall-down system. Also added additional stumble animations when breaking through obstacles.
• Added zombie swim animations to support new swimming system for zombies.
• Updated 3rd person locomotion lower body update and upper-body update that supports up/down aiming and firing for new and existing melee weapons.
• Updated various zombie characters and player arms with new models.

Dynamic Resolution

A dynamic resolution system has been added that allows the game to draw 3d graphics at a lower resolution than the main game window is running at. This can increase FPS while allowing the UI to run at full resolution.

Dynamic resolution is disabled by default. It can be enabled in the Display tab of Video Options. There are three settings:

• Dynamic Resolution Mode
  • Off – Disables
  • Auto – Enables it and will change resolution based on your FPS. This uses some video memory.
  • Scale – Enables it at a fixed resolution. Useful if you are trying to hit a specific FPS value like 60 and prefer a constant resolution. This uses less video memory than Auto.
• Dynamic Resolution Min FPS – When Mode is Auto and running below this FPS value it will decrease the 3d resolution.
• Dynamic Resolution Scale – The percentage to scale down 3d rendering when mode is Scale.

Lowering your screen resolution will only increase FPS if your video card (GPU) is the bottleneck. If your CPU is the bottleneck, a lower resolution will not increase FPS.

Vehicles

We have done a number of improvements to vehicles listed below.

Added

• Vehicle collisions with entities uses their mass ratio and hit angle for damage, velocity reduction and ragdoll threshold/chance

• Vehicle cosmetic slot that accepts dye (this is not functional and will be used for some type of modding in the future)
• Players exiting vehicles retain most velocity
• Vehicles keep full velocity when driver exits and no wheel on ground
• Vehicle driving increases food consumption

Changed
