Clothing Mesh Demo from Youtube

Build 41, also known as The Animation Overhaul, has been titled as such due to its major overhaul of the entire animation system. This new system has been made known to the public since mid–late 2015. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties and developer inexperience to create a simple, reliable and easily moddable animation system, meant several new experienced employees were employed to work solely on a highly versatile and easily moddable animation system. Whilst this new system was being developed, the main development team continued to work on new features, with the most notable being vehicles (build 39) and weather (build 40). Whilst the development of the animation system appeared to be slow, this update has been the largest change to the base code in all of Project Zomboid's development, with the second being the addition of vehicles.

Along with the new animation system, the update will also include new player models, weapons and tools (models), skills, clothing, a new/updated combat system, gamepad/controller improvements (moved to build 42 due to technical issues), two new challenge maps, reflective and animated water and dynamic puddles.

Changelogs

IWBUMS Build

IWBUMS Build 41.24

Date: December 20, 2019
Forum: IWBUMS Build 41.24

[New]

• Added zombie turn alerted
• When climbing through a window and a zombie blocking it making you fall back into the house, zombie will emit a sound so you know it's there.
• Can now shoot at windows (they'll be highlited if in range/direction).
• Zombies now won't get up if a player is standing on top of them.
• Game now detects when zombies have been walking-on-the-spot for several seconds, then stop moving.
• Groups of zombies attacking vehicles now coorindated better to avoid them endlessly walking into a vehicle they can't possibly reach.
• Added prediction for melee combat. If you're attacking a zombie that is lunging toward you, we increase virtually the range of weapon to detect an attack, this should make the "miss" animation play way less often when you actually will hit the zombie.
• Drivers now look behind them when the vehicle is moving in reverse. This fixes players not being able to see the vehicle they are in when reversing into unseen areas. Drivers and passengers may look around by holding the Aim key or the controller right-stick when windows aren't opened.
• Control-mousewheel now cycles between containers in the inventory and loot windows when the mouse is over the items list.
• Quality-of-life improvements to taking dirt/gravel/sand.
  • The most-full bag is chosen automatically from inventory (and in backpacks) instead of having to choose one from a submenu.
  • A cursor is displayed for picking locations to take from. This allows the player to click four times in a row to fill one bag, instead of having to right-click and choose the same action four times from the context menu.
• Quality-of-life improvements to pouring dirt/gravel/sand.
  • The cursor displays a green or red outline to make it easier to see.
  • The first non-empty bag is chosen automatically from inventory (and in backpacks) instead of having to choose one from a submenu.

[Balance]

• Reduced damage done by falling from 2 storey windows.
• Fixed being underweight/very underweight causing immediate death when falling from 2nd storey windows and over encumbered.
• Allow lunging zombies to climb over fences and through windows instead of walking-in-place into them.
• Agoraphobic/Claustrophobic are now mutually exclusive.

• Fixed invisible players and other errors when spawning a splitscreen player in the same location as the other player.
• Fixed IsoPlayer.getJoypadAimVector() and IsoPlayer.getJoypadMoveVector() doing sqrt(x * x + y + y).
• Fixed passengers seeing the "B for Brake" prompt when using a controller.
• Fixed DebugChunkStateUI not updating the display when selecting new squares.
• Forbid using the name of an existing directory when creating a new game.
• Forbid entering various invalid characters in the savefile field when creating a new game.
• Fixed being able to double-click a spawn location to advance to the next screen when an invalid savefile name was entered.
• Fixed not spawning zombies eating corpses inside rooms.
• Fixed spawning zombies eating corpses in a room when zombie spawning is disabled.
• Fixed spawning zombies eating corpses with a wall or door between the corpse and the zombie. Try harder to find a place to spawn a corpse inside a room, instead of always choosing the center.
• Fixed blood splatter causing bushes and trees to rustle.
• Fixed not being able to walk off the floor in all directions after building a new staircase.
• Fixed corpses/items/zombies in rooms spawning in inaccessible areas behind stairs (when the area is 1x1 or 2x1 or 1x2 only).

• Adding a patch to a hole removes it, otherwise it simply gives you defense bonus (need to add more insulation to them if simply upgrading).
• Quality of the defense depend on fabric used & tailoring skill.

• Changed how ripping clothing works to make it easier to update when new clothes are being added.
• Can now rip leather/denim stuff to get strips (requires scissors).
• Boosted overall thread spawn rate, can also get leather strips when disassembling leather stuff (couch etc.)
• Patch textures currently all the same no matter the fabric used, they are placeholder textures.

  • I changed the water-shader code to render in two passes, first the solid water tiles, then the regular tiles, then the shore tiles. It fixes some tiles being hidden on the docks/boathouse north of Westpoint, and the railway bridge east of Westpoint.

  • Fixed puddle data rendering. This was to fix a bug when opening/closing a door using a controller, puddles would appear briefly in a 3x3 area around the door. It didn't happen when using the 'E' key, strangely. I think the puddles rendering isn't thread safe though, the main thread could be updating IsoPuddlesGeometry.pda/etc while the render thread is reading them.
  • Fixed the second container in the loot window being auto-selected instead of the first when using a controller. IIRC the floor used to be displayed at the top of the list of containers in the loot window.

  • Fixed zombies inherit some other room distributions, making easy to farm some items by luring zombies into specific rooms.

• Re-enabled the fridehum/window/door/etc ambient sounds. Changed WaterDrip sound to only play on IsoFlagType.waterPiped sprites with water (so they won't drip after the water shuts off, unless connected to a water source). Yuri found that when there are puddles on the ground, there are way too many WaterDrip sounds playing. That was due to IsoObject.hasWater() returning true on squares that have puddles.

• Adjusted some model position for attached weapons.

• Fixed some weirdness with guns.

• Moved IsoGameCharacter.attachedModels to ModelSlot.attachedModels.
• Fixed error in ISAttachedItemsUI.lua when zombies have multiple items attached.

[New]

• All characters now start with a belt - giving them a "Back" slot & two belt (left/right) belt slots. You can either right click a slot, or drag & drop a weapon to it. Or, alternatively, click a weapon in your inventory to attach it to the hotbar. Weapons will be shown on the player. Pressing a hotkey (from 1 to 5) will auto equip the weapon assigned to each slot. This is a work in progress system that we'd love feedback on!

[New]

• Added options for transparency / visibility of iso cursor for combat.

[Bug Fix]

• Increased memory allocation for 64bit zomboid that could potentially avoid crashes on some systems loading into game.
• Fixed shader issues with clothing overlays and holes which affect some GPUs (big source of hangs/crashes on game load / leaving spawn house and probably the same cause of some mac issues reported)
• Render thread will now throw out better error messages for diagnosing future problems.
• Fixed zombies playing their death sound sometimes when stabbed (but not jaw-stabbed). This happened when bCloseKill=true but CriticalHit=false.
• A zombie dies as soon as it is jaw-stabbed, not after falling to the ground. The KnifeDeath animation is played in the falldown state, not the hitreaction state. The KnifeDeath hitreaction doesn't happen now because the zombie is dead before falling.
• Fixed zombie number issue on Survival
• Fixed pathfinding failing when moving on the same square when that square is blocked in all directions. This worked before luautils.walkAdj() was changed to not call AdjacentFreeTileFinder.isTileOrAdjacent(). https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26223-stuck-in-one-spot/

• Fixed issues attacking while in a vehicle (infinite ammo, can't shove).
