Yeah, i think thats a pretty good way to do the testing, and why i want to do a Call to Arms to our community, hope other server admins and communities join too.
 
And i think thats a good idea, you can make a new channel for the event on TIS discord, so people can communicate in there if needed

I was going to say, actually, that approach of server's forming individual factions in the Megatest would probably be the most fun way to do it - and also the best test of RJ's Faction systems.
 
We can maybe have a general Discord channel open for feedback while the game itself is being played, and for people to ask questions?

Hey Bats! Im going to tell to the players of my server to join, if they want, the event together as a faction, so we will see you there

Getting the server set up for this at the moment, nice and early so we know it's all ticking over
 
If you're planning on joining us please let us know!

pretty please small tiny weeny spoiler of which town it is closest to ?

I've found "Little ghost town" with a lake, love it  and no spoilers on this one, gotta find it

OMG OMG OMG OMG double tile moveables..

If you’re a server admin, a habitual PZ player online or just someone with a spare evening who fancies some desperate survival you are cordially invited to:
 
The Great Big Build 35 IWBUMS MP Megatest!
 
New IWBUMS build 35.22b just released  - be sure to restart Steam if you haven't downloaded it already!
 
EDIT: IMPORTANT - even if you don't have a microphone PLEASE set your  Audio Options to 'Listen Only' in VOIP. We want you to be able to hear people!
Where's a place to chat about this?
Discord!
What time does it begin?
5pm GMT! (CET: 6pm, EST: Midday, PST: 9am)
How do I get the build?
Simply follow these instructions to unlock and install the current IWBUMS beta build of Project Zomboid.
How do I turn on the VOIP that needs testing?
Ensure you have headphones and mic plugged in and operational, then select your chosen set-up in the Options menu. VOIP is central to this test, so if you have headphones then please, please set it up.

Which server do I join?
Go to the server list and join the server called [Official] [Event] Spiffospace IWBUMS. No password will be required.
Where will I spawn?
To keep it nice and simple everyone will be spawning in the new Rosewood area.
What sort of stuff will we get up to?
Mischief and hijinks, hopefully! Redboid’s Hicks has very kindly pitched in to offer his Admin services – and is thinking about having a co-op prison clearance, and a faction-on-faction TDM fight to the death as the exciting season finale.
There will be PZ Steam codes as prizes, so people can fight for the right to spread the Zomboid love to one of their buddies. The last survivor standing, meanwhile, will be gifted a Steam game of their choice - anything up to the value of £40!
Where can we give the vital feedback you require?
Glad you asked! Either here in this thread, or if you need to discuss any issues or coordinate with other players then we have opened up this Discord channel.
What vital feedback do you need? That I will DEFINITELY supply?
VOIP. We need to know your thoughts on voice quality, preferred settings, audibility distance between players (though this is a server option) and general feedback on the use of use. Your thoughts on Factions. Press Escape to access the user panel, add discover a new system that lets you choose a  tag, a colour and to form very own survivor gang –  with it being your decision as to whether you reveal your allegiance to the players you meet, or not. This system also disables melee PvP between group members, which you can also turn off should you need to turn on your friends or the recently infected. Other general MP, gameplay and admin improvements. General thoughts really! What if I have problems?
Give everyone a shout in the Discord, and if your issue seems buggy/crashy then make a note of all useful info and the error read-out it’s showing you if there is one. This is still a beta build, so stuff may well crop up – but hopefully not too much.
What if I can’t play, but can watch?
Then from 6pm GMT the redoubtable Mark .exe will be streaming, and his Twitch stream can be found behind this link.
Anything else?
Just have fun, and cross your fingers!

Well, let me know how you get on with that, there will be several buildings on my map that will bring me challenges too. Once my first cell is complete, I'll be starting a thread for it, I'll also start a thread on some useful hints and tips I've found while using the tools ... as to help anyone else encountering the same issue as me.

So the incoming clothing and bites+blood system has different layers for types of clothing or bite + blood marks for injuries, right?
 
It'd be fantastic for character differentiation to see an expansion on it that corresponds with what kind of body type or tattoos the survivor has. So, maybe a character creation table for a couple body tattoos the same way you might customize a shirt (or however it gets chosen,) or sleeve tattoos if they're a really tough gal/guy.
 
also! If a survivor has the overweight or underweight traits, they could get noticeably softer looking skin, and maybe contour shadows under their tummy or chest to simulate a belly if they're fat, or shadows to look leaner or frailer if they're thin. Chubby survivors wouldn't have the little rib marks n stuff, thin survivors would have them about as prominent as regular. I think this would really emphasize character differentiation with that same neat little level of detail that has always really charmed me and lots of others with the game.

I would also love to see warpaint kinda stuff then, like painting your face blue or drawing red lines across your eyes with corresponding paint color buckets, it would be cool for multiplayer or just general roleplay i would run a blue frog group and have em wear blue lines or face paint it would be pretty cool.

ALSO
This would probably be hard to implement but also cool would be skin progression when you get infected, like halfway in your character would get sunken eyes and notably but not too notably greener / purple-er skin and get the frail body effects with rip cage bones and such.
It would be cool to see little details like that especially now with 2x tiles and the bigger zoom levels that make you notice way more stuff and little details like that, you could then also really see that someones about to turn without having to check their medical status

I need to start a poll to let this Roosewood. Everyone is loving it, aye?

Prison is west-ish of Rosewood iirc.
 
While people are playing these new areas then feedback on zed numbers, loot etc would be very handy indeed for balancing. Thank you!

I guess it's too late, but please make backups  Dropbox for example has nice features.

Thanks everyone! The version 1 updates have been added.

Hey Hydro, any chance of making cardboard boxes burnable?  I have piles and piles of them from all the crafting and looting I do, and the only way I have to get rid of them is to put them in a corpse inventory before I turn them into charcoal (VERY cool idea to get rid of corpses, BTW).  Is it possible to add a trait to them so they add burn time to a campfire, similar to what books do?   At least then, all those boxes can help me cook and purify water.  Thanks!

While you are at it RJ, then check the entire map maybe? There are many, many places with no foraging. There was a bug about it in the tracker.
 
EDIT:
 
Maybe it was not on the tracker after all, but...
 

The map is intended for the multiplayer game with several areas to explore Thank you for your comments, your support Texas has always been helpful.
Paul your server is amazing.

A big Bravo!! for Mash on new map work, thanks for this, it is amazing

I'm curious now if the birthplace of all the PZ firefighters will be explained now with the new map additions.....
 
Just curious, any chance foraging locations were updated with the new map additions? There's so many nice places south of westpoint that are unfortunately awful because of no foraging being implemented in those cells.

Escaping inmates?
 
Oh 
Shit
