I forgot to ask, what sky texture are you missing?

If I open up the level it gives me a few Errors and the skytexture is just light blue. Oh theres also the sun. Here a screenshot: http://fileplace.co.de/Fabian/Unbenannt.png

I noticed that when David was stealth killing enemies in Patchy Highlands, he hid the bodies.
Foreshadowing?

Not foreshadowing. AI already notice corpses and check for the culprit. At least as far as I recall :/

Well, not exactly. I've dropped a body of an enemy right in front of the patrol path of his buddy, he just walked right past him... Sometimes if they do ever notice the body they just run to it and stand in that spot, without actually walking around to look for you. I think there should be a feature where the navmesh can update automatically too (if its possible), so that navmesh features where NPCs can start searching for you (like if they briefly spotted you and you hide somewhere) can be implemented. I'm very sure David will add these features in later alphas though. Also, He will probably be working more on the weapon system once more of the Arena features are completed.



Would be awesome for level makers if you can decide whether a specific NPC memorizes the area that he's in or not (so that some NPCs don't seem to know where they're going if they are in a mysterious forest or some kind of maze) It could make some cool maze-like maps where even the enemies don't know where they are! I'm not saying for Every single map, but if you had a change to make some of the enemies clueless of their environment and kind of change their personality a bit so that they don't all seem like robots that know their way around a maze they have never been in...Then enemies will be more cautious and for example, if they were in a maze, if they hear you from the other side of a maze wall, they will not know the exact path to where that sound wave came from, so they will be cautiously searching around until they find where they heard the sound come from. And if they hear a sudden sound, they will not immediately know where it is, but then when they hear repeating sounds from the same area the will realize the direction that its coming from.

(this is more of a featured to be put in the polished game, but its just a cool idea in my opinion xD)

I programmed a real-life robot to do that once -- it slowly constructed a map using its range sensors, and used A* to find the nearest unexplored spaces. It was pretty fun watching it map out the CS building back in school.

I think I know what sky texture you are missing, I sent you PM with the download link of the sky texture.

Are you planning to add Steam/otherwise achievements in the final game by the way, David? I think this arena would be a perfect opportunity for some cool and simply hilarious achievements.

Also, I think this explains itself:

Running way entertains the audience that much? Perhaps rabbits have a strange culture?


On a more hilarious/insane note:
This is one rich arena...


... but I guess ticket prices were a bit too high.

Angry mob?

I've seen some weird shit while playing this game, but this has to be one of the weirdest imo: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/10822 ... 153C54155/

Could you send this to me too? Or just post the link in the forum? I think a few of us may be having this problem. Cheers

Angry mob?

I dunno if you can call two billion a "mob."

[RagdollZombie]

more like an full scale army of angry spectators

Man, gotta love how now you've got to give some show instead of just winning. Forces you to do interesting encounters. Awesome work from David.

This guy never ceases to amaze me.

I've got a little... Bug?
Sometimes you might go ragdoll, but do not get up. Enemies hit an invisible instance of the character above the ragdolled player. You can only get up if you hit the "ragdoll test" buttons like Z or else.

That bug has been occurring in previous alphas too.
