Website at getwrecked.info updated and now includes a small starter guide for new players. Also did some new versions of the current key art, what does everyone reckon?

Some bug fixes and tweaks to drop this weekend, after the test crew gets their turn to try and break everything.

Pretty cool but please include a parameter to stop the forced third person action going on. It interferes with forced first person scripts and makes it unusable!

This is a really nice idea and put together well! Keep up the good work!

Hey mate, yep i'll definitely add that to the list. It was a poly-fill for the MANW release as the object manipulation system didn't seem to function 100% in first person. That and some of the audio effects were not working in first person in a vehicle. There are a handful of issues being reported that seem to be related to people trying this with other mods active, so it is definitely helpful if people diagnose it first by turning them off.

This is a really nice idea and put together well! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! It's been really fun to make and test. Glad you enjoyed it!

Okay so...

The Combo of Laser and ATV is very very imba.

Get an ATV with 3 Laser, and you'll kill everything in an instant....

People have very different expectations for what is an "Alpha" I think. Complaining about balance issues right now is like pointing out the sky is blue. It will all be sorted, but right now the focus is padding features out and bug fixing. I'd be curious to know if you were running 0.7.6 or 0.7.7? Overall weapon damage was tweaked in the latter to increase the time-to-kill and i've seen a few of the German servers still running the older version.

As a side note, I found a rather funny comment from someone stating they were disappointed this wasn't "realistic vehicle combat". It can't be stressed enough that this mod isn't for everyone, so if there's something you really don't like no-one is forcing you to play it. At the very least if you are going to leave critical feedback please make it constructive; perhaps even contextualise it a bit if you are reporting an obvious bug.

I know what is alpha, and I know how development works. So no need to tell that to me.

Anyway, we were using 0.7.7.

[chrisnic 10]

It wasn't meant to be condescending, sorry if you took it that way. The impression I got from your first post is that you were suggesting this mod was somehow fundamentally broken because of that one combination. While it may not be balanced perfectly just yet, I can assure you that it's pretty far from being as simple as slapping three lasers on a vehicle.

Admittedly, the tactical laser isn't technically meant as a primary weapon; its main feature is the burn effect it tags vehicles with. The fire status effect does not stack so its intended primarily for being able to damage fast moving or well protected targets. If it's being used as a one-shot kill weapon then for sure it's not fulfilling the aim of its original implementation. Frankly, however, there are a number of options for countering the combination you are talking about and with a bit of experimentation you and others may come across them too.

Is development still ongoing for this? I have been running a server for it, but there have been no players in a while. I'm sure it would gain more traction if more updates were coming.

Absolutely! The best place to catch updates is if you follow @GetWreckedA3 on Twitter. A new version should be out this month that addresses a number of bugs, improves key binding and customization, plus a few surprises.

New version v0.8 is now public. Here's a few release highlights:

- Type !fixdlc in chat to toggle Karts DLC ads

- Added support for up to 12 players

- Random supply drops in battle zones that can contain power ups

- Nitro pads for epic getaways

- New Camo, Fire and Pink paints

- Reworked damage and armor system to prolong engagements

- More keybinding options (disable left click to fire for specific weapons)

- Vehicle taunts to humiliate your opponents

- A range of optimizations to improve client and server fps and reduce network load

A full changelog is available at getwrecked.info/changelog

Note: All vehicles made in earlier versions are compatible, although it's recommended to save, clear and load the vehicle again before attempting to use it. Vehicles made in v0.8 are not backwards compatible.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far by giving their time, ideas and feedback. Progress is already happening on a new race-mode and also expansion onto new maps. ;)

Weird but extremely funny mission.

The only problem i encountered so far is that curved sandbags sometimes load in wrong positions.

Glad you had fun and thanks for the feedback! There are indeed a handful of items that behave like that. The issue is that they never load in a consistent position no matter what location you record for them. Sometimes this is also because with even the slightest amount of server lag the object collides with the source vehicle before it has a chance to disable simulation on it. Static turrets and rpgs/railguns in ground weapon holders are notoriously bad at this. The object shifting on save/load, the ballistics system and some form of starter tutorial are the three major hurdles I currently have to make this game-mode less frustrating for fresh players.
