Development thread - PvE Napf Island

[billy3c]

Nice work Ned and everyone.
Great to see the server coming back.

I think limiting base components is a great idea. I love to craft but seeing monster bases going up always appeared a bit at odds with PvE survival games.
The 28 days life span for building would be excellent. The thing that stopped me playing was always the point I am a part time gamer and a full time contractor so I could guarantee being at home to be online.
I do play as PvE and sole based on the statement above. As a result I am a fairly crap player. That stated, I am time rich at the moment (between contracts) so if you want any help with anything happy to try and die.

Spent the entire day so far working on bugs (thanks to Arma3 for an update!) and especially the loot position tables as this uses extra buildings not included in Exile so 5 hours later i hope i fixed floating loot and missing buildings.
To anyone who is testing server, could you let me know thoughts on Ai/Missions/building/Economy etc and let me know any issues.
1. current bug - Arma3 patch gives error on server connection which you just need to ignore until they release a bug patch next week, it doesn't actually affect game-play.
2. crafting rifles doesn't work completely how i want and i am fixing broken images in XM8 as i get into the crafting more later.
I will be working on loot tables (including the scavenger classes) and AI for static missions next along with whatever pops into my mind.
i also gave everyone testing 10k (may have been 100k) poptabs to play with

XM8 recipes now show correct images for crafting weapons, still working on using weapons as components but weapons without other weapons as required items do work

with some help i now have weapons crafting working, single demos of sniper and assault rifle crafting are in, working on part reclaim still but it took a whole day to get working without bugs so not much time left for other things.
i did now finish crafting recipes for all pistols and fixed bambi load out not having the correct ammo for the gun given.

let me know how it all feels

Notice you've helped the Exile community out a lot. Which I'll say thank you. In regards to the napf island is this something we can currently jump into?, or are you waiting till you have everything ironed out before going public?

As i have been coding from scratch this is just a small server for the coding test, you can have a try on it if you like but its not going to be the main server as i am still scripting everything we want for it but feel free to PM me and i can give details for a tryout

It's all good I'll kindly wait for when it is released. Was more or less wondering since its ever changing it will be better to wait till you have it in a stable spot. Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to keep a eye out on this update thread.
