The main thing here is a user-selectable lobby status, which you can set by clicking on your own name in the player list in the lobby
- Away from keyboard (or type /AFK) - Wants to scout: (or type /SCT) - Normal When you switch to "Wants to Scout" mode, this automatically sends an audio alert (car horn sound) to all other users who are in this mode -- the idea is that you can set your status to Scouting and then go browse the web or whatever and get an alert when someone might be ready to join you. (To avoid spamming, the sound won't happen more than once per 4 minutes from a specific player) Also in this patch: - New motorhome textures, including some rare ones (thanks Bastille!) - Three new wilderness missions maps- one near Firelight and two between Texan and Sarsfield (Thanks viKKing!) - Some code to support the upcoming player-written narrative missions |

Thank you!
I was wondering when DW was going to get it's own version of "LFG" (looking for group) |

Nice addition Sam  though maybe color of gang name should change when looking for scout, at present it reverts to the afk blue. maybe a different colour as a visual indicator would also be nice.

That sounds nice, although an option to look to scout by town would be better really

yeah, the colours occurred to me grog.. they're more trouble than you might imagine..
johnny: not sure.. you're talking about 8 different alert sounds? or just 8 different states/messages? |

*Bastille* Posted Jun 29, 2010, 11:43 am |
Thanks for the adds Sam.
-  ahh, I guess this is a bad to time to mention that I just figured out how to add nice rivet effects that automatically change colour to the background on the MHs  Something for the future I think.
Looking forward to the missions Vikking. |

There's a bug that stops the audio alerts when you use /sct to set your status, btw. If you use the dropdown options when you click your name in the players list it works fine. Bug fixed but not worth a re-patch until there's other stuff to go in.. | ||||

*Bastille* Posted Jun 29, 2010, 1:26 pm |
Nice one!
I noticed it is Maps too and not missions... can't wait to see them |

iceman Posted Jun 29, 2010, 2:16 pm |
I meant a new colour for looking to scout with a town code in brackets where afk was |

*Ninesticks* Posted Jun 29, 2010, 3:11 pm |
Not sure whether to be jubilant about the new maps or plain scared because Vikk designed them. Thanks for the hard work gents. | ||||

*jimmylogan* Posted Jun 29, 2010, 3:23 pm |
LOL - I know exactly how you feel... Makes me want to throw a scout in a Flash and just travel to see...
Actually... |

*Tinker* Posted Jun 29, 2010, 6:18 pm |
This is one sexy update!
I'd just sugest that we can have an addition drop down option over our name - Add scout in another town, then repeat has needed could look like this? SCT SS, EL, GW etc Also isn't there some screen real-estate for another window? perhaps a scouting squad setting up window? and if you could just add squads in it based on your squads on the website that would be awesome! edit: the current squad page is not used because it's not visible |

I noticed this yesterday while trying a test. I typed /scttest (I had a slight delay in the lobby I meant to type this as two lines) My status was set to /SCTtest. Of course, it did not change colour, but the idea may work easy enough. Now to go find these new maps

People that patched "early" yesterday have a slightly different version of the code that handles this, than those who weren't in the game yesterday morning/afternoon. There was a bug, which I fixed and uploaded but didn't want to force a re-patch until there were other things to patch too. | ||||

DW is interesting in the way it's rares impact the game. In other game there is a sub-agenda to collect all the rares. But perma-death means having to balance out your desires verse survival. I believe that the impending missions will allow players to own at least one of of most of the mid-range rares. Folks will be able to say " I have driven this, i have shot that ......" etc etc But it will satisfy the anal WOWers I saw a vet roll out of BL yesterday with 2 buzzers - but he was bearing twin HMGs in both vehicles. That says a great deal about the stability of a four year old MMO COCO |

Muhahahaha (evil laugh) 
Unfortunately was off and without connection this week, so I could not provide the 4th map to Sam. I just sent it BTW.
Don't thank me for Bombed Luna Road, no really, don't. Starts digging a bunker in the courtyard I hope you will all be pleased with the new FireLight area map, it is quite more easy to handle than other ones. Most are old ones I finished at last. Sam has been very picky about Via Rupta, but it looks better than ever.

*Ninesticks* Posted Jul 2, 2010, 8:48 pm |
Scouted it, notice I have only thanked you for Via Rupta!
