  1. Okay maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the crowbar as it was only my secondary issue anyway. I was not aware of the physics involved with the deterioration of steel. Your comment has been read and understood. To get back to the main issue though. The deterioration of weapons while sitting in a cupboard in a house is still completely unrealistic. I think it may also be partially caused by a bug in the game because of what just happened to me. I keep coming across this bug where I am about to hit a zombie and I suddenly become invisible and then I get bitten as I cannot see where I am aiming to try and fight them off. To get around this bug, as soon as I turn invisible I quickly hit ESCAPE and exit out to the main menu. Then I load the game up again and I am visible again. Unfortunately I am also unarmed because all of the weapons in y inventory (all which were in perfect condition) are all now broken. Even when not caused by that bug, there still seems to be a really unrealistic weapon deterioration in the game. I had a perfect conditioned bunch of weapons in my bag. They stayed in perfect condition for the last week (in game time). Once I established my base I used one of the wardrobes to as a weapons locker and put into it a golf club, kitchen knife, baseball bat and a couple shotguns. I then did a quick run to a nearby warehouse to scavenge more stuff. When I returned all the weapons in the wardrobe are now broken. They all went fro perfect condition to broken in less than 24 hours. Plus every weapon I seem to find anywhere now is broken. If kept dry, baseball bats, kitchen knives, golf clubs, crowbars and shotguns will not deteriorate even after years of sitting in a cupboard doing nothing.
  2. I completely agree with certain items deteriorating though use. You have already implemented this and it is okay but I think it needs some tweaking to make it a bit more realistic. Firstly, I noticed that weapons that I collected have become broken over time just by sitting in my kitchen cupboard. I'm sorry but a kitchen knife, a baseball bat and a crowbar could sit in a kitchen cupboard for a thousand years and as long as they stay dry they should not deteriorate. In real life I have a couple kitchen knives in my kitchen that I have never used since I moved into this house 20 years ago. Guess what condition they are in? Exactly the same condition as when I moved in. Another thing is that certain weapons should not deteriorate at all or at least at such a slow rate as to be hardly noticeable. By this I am talking about a crowbar. In real life if you had a line of a million walking human corpses and you caved in each ones head with a crowbar one by one, a million corpses later your crowbar would be in exactly the same state as it was before you started. It might be covered in blood but a crowbar made of steel would not deteriorate from hitting flesh and bone. What might be better is to make hitting different things have a different effect on a weapon. i.e. You hit a zombie in the head with your crowbar it should not deteriorate. You start smashing through doors with it and I could understand it taking some damage.
  3. Yeah but if you are wanting this game to b realistic then think of the difference in effort. This is why you always see them burning corpses on The Walking Dead. Digging is tough work. I used to be a labourer on a building site. I know. Burning them is much easier. Besides, even if the bonfire would attract them, you don't light it until you have piled up all the bodies and then you don't hang around to wait to see what turns up.
  4. I would like to see the ability to create a bonfire. I would suggest something like 10 logs to create it and then like a campfire it would act like a container that you can put things into. Then they just need to create a way for us to pick up dead zombies and put them on the bonfire. Then they would just disappear after a few seconds. I'd like to see this because my house is starting to resemble the inside of Jeffrey Dahmer's fridge.
  5. American floor system or English? I'm English so I would say there is the ground floor and then you go up to the first floor. I had one sheet rope in my inventory because I'm only one floor above the ground. Is that not correct? I'm afraid the survival guide is rather vague.
  6. Okay so here is the video of me trying to get the sheet rope to work. The flicker does not usually occur when I play. It is only there because the Screen Capture software does not get along very well with your game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-oZ7qwyXpE&feature=youtu.be
  7. You'r right. I'm going off topic. I have just downloaded some screen capture software and done a video of me trying to put up a sheet rope. It is almost finished encoding and once done I will upload it to YouTube and post it here.
  8. I have tried with the hammer in primary and everything else just in my main inventory. I have tried with the sheet rope in primary, the sheet rope in primary and the hammer in secondary, the hammer in primary and the sheet rope in secondary. I've right clicked on the window, the window frame, below the window, above the window. I've tried with the window open, closed, with a curtain, without a curtain. I have no idea what else to try. Hell, I'd get my character to tap dance first if I thought it would help. As for buying games in development, I fully understand there will be glitches, bugs, crashes sometimes. I'm okay with that. But you have to get a game at least to a certain point before you can charge for it. Project Zomboid is at that point, no disputing that. I have another game though, that I paid a lot of money for and it won't even load. I am well within the minimum requirements. I have spent 3 weeks researching the problem with the developers and still it won't run. So I asked for my money back and they said no. How is that not stealing? That would be like me selling you a car and then explaining that I have not yet designed the motor for the car yet. "Oh, I'm sorry sir. You wanted a car that you can drive? Don't worry, one day I'll get around to designing a motor for the car but I'll just hang on to your money until then."
  9. Okay, so I figured out the climbing. I didn't notice that there are two different heights of fences. As for the sheet rope. Still can't get it to work. I have just found some rope so I am hoping that may work. If I could get the sheet rope to work then I'd be happy. I don't mind the other little bugs.
  10. No mods. I am not using any. What does the survival guide have anything to do with anything? Actually I read the entire survival guide. It doesn't offer any better suggestions on how to use the sheet rope then the advice that has already been given here. Advice, I might add, that isn't working regardless of how many times I try it. The survival guide is where I learned that you can climb over things. That is why it annoys me that I discover that it also doesn't work.
  11. Well I've just tried every upstairs window in the house I'm in. It didn't work. Then I went and tried the two houses next to me. It still didn't work. Then I gave up and decided to do something else and I discovered that I cannot climb either. I tried to get into the big urban warehouse nearby but I cannot get over the fence because the "E" key doesn't do anything. This doesn't make any sense. How can something that works for most people not work on my machine. It's a bloody gaming PC for Christ sake. I think you may be right about staying away fro new startups. I have wasted money on 4 of them. I guess I should count myself lucky that this one even turns on. I was stupid enough to pay for, "The Dead Linger". Another zombie Alpha game. That one crashes every time I try and start it but developers don't care once they have your money. I think I will develop a game. I don't need to actually make a game, just charge people for one. It is a licence to steal money from people.
  12. I am using the Steam version of the game. I have to assume it is the latest build because it updated itself yesterday when I turned on Steam. I also right clicked on Project Zomboid in my Steam library and clicked validate local files. It came back fine, no files missing. I played the game and no matter what I do the sheet rope does not work. I have a sheet rope in my inventory as well as a hammer and nails. I tried to attach it with the hammer in primary and the sheet rope in secondary as well as vice versa. I tried with just the sheet rope in primary, just the hammer in primary. I've tried different facing windows. IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Please help someone because this is a make or break thing for me. I get really angry when I pay for games that have features that don't work and I don't like getting angry so I will try and figure it out a while longer and if unsuccessful then I will give up all together and delete the game from my computer. I don't like unnecessary stress and reading all these posts from people saying it does work when it won't on my machine is just stressing me out!!
