“As such my new reloading code is implemented in a single timed action lua file, which is driven by the animation – so its sounds are tied to the animation itself when it’s finished. It became a problem for both ourselves and modders to make changes.” “In the current version of PZ, the code that makes up the reloading system is huge. Let’s have a quick look at a nice (very WIP) of RJ’s current reloading work, before we track down the legendary Frenchman himself.

Hopefully we can get some good visuals of it in-game to share you with you all as soon as it’s operational.” “I’m currently working on the mechanism that will read the character’s intended direction of travel, and translates that into the desired blend of animations that will get them there. Then, if they are to completely change direction, we can add an animation that the character can use to stop, twist, and run off in the opposite direction.” We can add animations for running while rotating left/right and the character will have a distinct tilt as they lean into the turns. “This can be done by leveraging the animation system. For example, rather than slowly rotating 180 degrees, the character should jump, stop, and bounce backwards.” “So: a better way would be to add some more realistic twist and turn behaviour. Most of us don’t run as though we’re on wheels.It’s okay to play with, but is especially grating when you’re inside a building.” “The problem is that this gives the character a very robotic feel. This essentially means that going from East to West is a simple matter of rotating the character 180 degrees, over a given amount of time.” “Right now in the internal build the character’s rotation is done via simple angular interpolation. “I’m currently working on upgrading the character’s rotation mechanism,” Zac explains. With that in mind, then, let’s first visit Zac with whom much of the initial integration of the above tends to lie. We also, clearly, need to bang any other gribblies on the head that crawl out of the woodwork in the process – like, as happened today, a slight rethink on how we’re doing our clothing layering in AnimZed to avoid a lot of clipping issues that’ve been piling up recently. You’re probably bored of us saying this every week but, just for anyone who isn’t up to date on their Thursdoids, before we can go into the public IWBUMS beta stage we need to have our rotational animation system in, some optimization on zed crowds done and MP hooked up to all the new framework. Project Zomboid is available on Steam Early Access, or Desura for $14.99.Hi everyone, let’s go for a quick round-the-houses on what’s happening in some key areas of the Build 41 internal animations build. In fact, the developers hope that the singleplayer features will be compelling enough to entice players into leaving the AI-controlled characters enabled on multiplayer servers. The Indie Stone insists that the focus of Project Zomboid will still be singleplayer, and that work continues on adding non-player characters to the game.

However, since release, and particularly since our appearance on Steam, it’s become clearer and clearer not only that MP is of such massive demand, but that the lack of multiplayer has had a not insignificant effect on the ‘must-haveness’ of Zomboid to a large chunk of gamers out there, that would otherwise have dove in long ago. According to the developers, multiplayer is being added to increase sales.

The multiplayer mode will use perisistent player-run servers, and may even include split-screen play on the same PC at a later date. The Indie Stone unveiled the new feature in an official blog post. Project Zomboid, the isometric zombie survival RPG, is getting a multiplayer mode.
