Terrain Changes
Version 0.35 has a lot of terrain changes. We've included more wrecked vehicles, street lights, texture changes/fixes, new hills and a whole new section of the map.
The new section of the map is located on the same island as Pinewood. The new section features a new super market, a town, military area and a industrial area.
Weapon Fixes/Balances/Changes
We've tightened up most of the weapons so that they are more accurate when aiming down sights. The heckler, storm and hunting bow are now way more accurate when shooting and aiming.
The heckler gun model has been changed aswell.
Sky and Weather Changes
We've changed the renderer mode from deffered to forward rendering and included a whole new sky system complete with new clouds. We have also included fog that surrounds the distance.
As we have changed rendering mode, we have also included AA.
Zombie Changes
Zombies now hit 100% harder and there are now 100% more of them around the map. As the zombies are still in early development, please let us know if you find any bugs with the newly increased number of zombies.
New Crafting Items
You can now craft a rabbit trap to trap rabbits for meat. Once you have the raw rabbit meat, you can cook it over a campfire. To do this simply go to the crafting tab (TAB > Crafting) and look under the new drop down menu "Food".
Player Spawning
Every player will now spawn at a random beach, unless you already have a sleeper somewhere, or a sleeping bag.
Servers Have Been Wiped
As we have done a lot of terrain work, we needed to wipe the servers as some of the changes may result in a hill, or a tree being in your base. Or because we have removed a few hills, it may result in your base (and your sleeper) hovering way above the ground.
So we had to wipe everything.
This means all your player information, player and world loot and player bases have all been wiped.
VOIP
You can now talk to each other inside of Nomad using your microphone. Press V to talk. As this is a early and first pass feature of VOIP, you may find bugs.
