FGunZ Update // 26 MARCH 2023

Hey Freestylers,

Get ready for a blast with our new update that brings you our custom Radar System, Ping System, bug fixes and amazing tweaks to Molotovs/Smokes/Sticky Grenades/Mines!

FGUNZ UPDATE // 26 MARCH 2023

• Fixed wall collision bug
  
• Fixed players being able to see through walls
  
• Fixed CQ NPCs sometimes not targeting players in certain scenarios (Army Men)
  
• Fixed damage not showing in scoreboard in Duel/DT
  
• Fixed auto team balance / team randomization bugs
  
• Fixed flashbangs increasing sound effect volume
  
• Fixed WIW weapons spawning below ground
  
• Fixed some colored names being cut off before 12 characters in scoreboard
  
• Fixed worlditems turning black if you shoot while scoping with sniper
  
• Fixed CTF flags not spawning
  
• Fixed bots not doing new dances for "/bot mimic"
  
• Fixed several crashes
  
• Refined elo system
  
• Reduced damage of poison element (7 dmg / sec -> 5 dmg / sec)
  
• Poison element damage now goes straight to HP
  
• Modified bots to not record duplicate scrolling actions
  
• Modified APM to ignore duplicate scrolling actions
  
• Added "/bot teach"
  
• AFK autokick system now only considers you AFK while alive
  
• Decreased AFK tolerance time from 180 seconds to 90 seconds or 2 rounds of inactivity
  
• QOTD no longer changes when the server crashes or restarts
  
• Added free Chestnut Fedora (M) hat

PING SYSTEM

• We have created a configurable combat ping wheel system (default key: ALT) for team-based modes (and quest/cq/survival)
  
• If you press and release the ping button within 0.1 seconds, you send what you have configured as "quick ping"
  
• After 0.1 seconds of holding the ping button, the ping wheel and a cursor start to appear, allowing you to make selections on the ping wheel. Hover over a ping and release the ping key to send it. If you want to cancel the ping wheel without sending anything, you can move your mouse to the center of the wheel and release the key to send nothing.
  
• You can customize ALL pings in options, we have created a "Ping System" category for that at your options menu
  
• Start a ping with "@" to attach the ping to yourself
  
• Furthermore you can change the default ping key, choose whether or not you want to see names on pings, where to show them, etc.
  
• Pings can also be sent via commands (/p1 to /p9), e.g. so they can be used as macros (F1-F8)

RADAR SYSTEM

• We have created a combat radar system for team-based modes (except: Team Gladiator, Team Training)
  
• If an enemy shoots a gun, the position of the shot is shown on the radar for 2.5 seconds
  
• As long as the enemy is in sight of you or a teammate after shooting their gun, their position is tracked dynamically on the radar
  
• Teammates are always visible on the radar unless you decide to hide them in options (you can hide teammates/enable/disable or change the size of the radar @ video options tab 4)
  
• Enemies are shown as red dots
  
• Teammates are shown as blue dots
  
• If an enemy or teammates dies, the dot turns into a cross (x)

SMOKE GRENADES & MOLOTOVS

• Increased smoke poison damage radius by 25%
  
• Smoke poison damage now goes straight to HP
  
• Increased smoke core thickness
  
• Smoke grenades now last 10 seconds and fade off faster when their lifetime is up
  
• Smoke grenades can now be used to extinguish Molotovs, causing the smoke grenade to pop instantly when thrown into a Molotov
  
• Molotovs cannot be ignited in smoke grenades

STICKY GRENADES

• Reduced damage of grenades sticked to yourself or your team mates by 50% (grenades sticked to enemies do 200% damage)
  
• Players that have grenades sticked to them are slowed by a certain % for each grenade (only affects yourself or enemies):
  
• Sticky grenades sticked to yourself slow you by 5% per sticky
  
• Sticky grenades sticked to enemies slow them by 10% per sticky
  
• Sticky grenades now "latch" onto enemies easier when thrown (to incentivize sticking enemies)

MINES

• Increased Mine / Demolition Mines clip size (4 -> 5, 5 -> 6)
  
• Mines can now be shot to destroy them
  
• They have health equal to their damage (60) and a visible healthbar when looking at them
  
• If destroyed, they explode, dealing damage in a small AOE

Enjoy,
FreestylersWorld Staff

pretty sure smokes or my opinion radar are causing massive fps lag, especially at start of rounds due to all player being clumped up

dont think gunz needed free esp from radar but ok...

feels bad bc radar unilateral and has unlimited range

smoke bomb cool change

Fps drops will be addressed. Need some more feedback to make sure that exactly causes it (e.g. do your fps get better when you disable radar @ options?). Changes to radar can be made depending on feedback.

May God bless y’all, both Developers and Owners :4

[*]Fixed players being able to see through walls
Good, with the addition of radar this seems like an obvious thing to fix

[*]Fixed auto team balance / team randomization bugs
So far it seems to be working perfectly. Only time will tell though.

[*]Fixed WIW weapons spawning below ground
So far this is true. I wish there was a way to have the ability to choose to pickup the weapon spawn or not though, to prevent accidental pickups (although it is pretty funny to watch players accidently pickup items in the middle of a fight)

[*]Fixed worlditems turning black if you shoot while scoping with sniper
Have no clue what this is as I never scope, but glad it's fixed?

[*]Fixed CTF flags not spawning
Good! Now if only we could get more players to host CTF...

[*]Refined elo system
Could you elaborate? Any specific percentage numbers? Kills, death, game modes, etc?

[*]Reduced damage of poison element (7 dmg / sec -> 5 dmg / sec)
...wat lol i'm assuming this happened due to smoke nades buff?

[*]Poison element damage now goes straight to HP
since when did it not do direct hp damage???? im assuming Sunrui was the one who caught this?

[*]AFK autokick system now only considers you AFK while alive
That's nice. Might create issues with more players being afk for longer though. But still nice to consider as it really only matters when you're alive anyways.

[*]Decreased AFK tolerance time from 180 seconds to 90 seconds or 2 rounds of inactivity
I'm assuming this accounts for the above alive/death timer as well? Now I'ma be getting kicked way more often!

[*]If you press and release the ping button within 0.1 seconds, you send what you have configured as "quick ping"
I like that you guys added this specific part, as I think the ping wheel is too time consuming (especially when fighting) but it's nice to have a quick one for the ones players use/this would be most beneficial.

[*]After 0.1 seconds of holding the ping button, the ping wheel and a cursor start to appear, allowing you to make selections on the ping wheel. Hover over a ping and release the ping key to send it. If you want to cancel the ping wheel without sending anything, you can move your mouse to the center of the wheel and release the key to send nothing.
I like this, but given all the button presses while playing GunZ itself, makes using the ping wheel a little difficult. Which I assume is why you guys added the quick ping. But if I die due to a backstab, I'm unable to ping that there's a back stab at that location once I'm dead. (i think there's a 2 second grace period when you die though? until you go into spectate mode, so I guess that's nice to include)

[*]You can customize ALL pings in options, we have created a "Ping System" category for that at your options menu
Love the customizing aspect. Curious to see what some players will end up making with this new system. BUT would love to see a way to tie in macros (F1,2,3,etc) into the ping wheel as well. I think this would make pinging a bit easier to use while in combat. As it's hard to fight while pulling up a menu to alert your team. And since you can't ping when dead (and no one ever reads chat) ....maybe (and since you can attach the pings to yourself) it might make more sense to just combine macros/ping wheel together and maybe offer the option in game to pick between the two (F keys or button pressing)

[*]Start a ping with "@" to attach the ping to yourself
Love that this was thought of. Going to be some funny messages I can already see it lol


[*]Furthermore you can change the default ping key, choose whether or not you want to see names on pings, where to show them, etc.
I'm glad you can choose between keys, as pressing alt is kind of awkward, but I can understand why Alt was the chosen key.

[*]We have created a combat radar system for team-based modes (except: Team Gladiator, Team Training)
This is very nice for players that don't play with sound/play with music. Also helps keep players from camping too much.

[*]If an enemy shoots a gun, the position of the shot is shown on the radar for 2.5 seconds
Excellent

[*]As long as the enemy is in sight of you or a teammate after shooting their gun, their position is tracked dynamically on the radar
Love that! Somewhat encourages teamwork a bit more???

[*]Teammates are always visible on the radar unless you decide to hide them in options (you can hide teammates/enable/disable or change the size of the radar @ video options tab 4)
That's nice to have the option to. Especially since there's already the option to have teammates names/health bars over top of them already

[*]Increased smoke poison damage radius by 25%
Gonna love spamming these in hallways lol

[*]Smoke poison damage now goes straight to HP
Good, hopefully it stays that way

[*]Increased smoke core thickness
Now they can actually be used to blur vision! (maybe make it so if you're aiming through smoke, enemies names/crosshair doesn't appear/change?) Because all I have to do is smoke a long hallway and wait in the corner with my crosshair aimed at the doorway and it's basically a free ESP hack.....or maybe not and keep it in to encourage more players to use smoke nades

[*]Smoke grenades now last 10 seconds and fade off faster when their lifetime is up
This is great as it will clear up the confusion of why enemies aren't being damaged.

[*]Smoke grenades can now be used to extinguish Molotovs, causing the smoke grenade to pop instantly when thrown into a Molotov
Nice way to counter the two. I can see some nice strats using both of these together!

[*]Molotovs cannot be ignited in smoke grenades
This is nice as you can use smoke nades to prevent others from molotov spamming major hallways. My only concern with this is teammates intentionally smoke nading team mates molotovs???

[*]Reduced damage of grenades sticked to yourself or your team mates by 50% (grenades sticked to enemies do 200% damage)
hopefully players don't get too upset about this lol

[*]Players that have grenades sticked to them are slowed by a certain % for each grenade (only affects yourself or enemies):
so far the slow effect seems to be reasonable.

[*]Sticky grenades sticked to yourself slow you by 5% per sticky
bye bye suiciders :kappa:

[*]Sticky grenades sticked to enemies slow them by 10% per sticky
I like that it's more for enemies to encourage people to use them on them rather than on their own self

[*]Sticky grenades now "latch" onto enemies easier when thrown (to incentivize sticking enemies)
haven't tried this yet, but will hope this works correctly

[*]Mines can now be shot to destroy them
this is nice, but at least make them one shot for ALL guns. I know this was added as a way to nerf the mine spam within deathmatch rooms, but i'd like to see a different approach when it comes to mines inside deathmatch rooms (like mines despawn when you die/leave, a cap where if you place more it despawns the first mine you placed, etc)

[*]They have health equal to their damage (60) and a visible healthbar when looking at them
I can see why the health is tied to mine damage...but I still think they should be one shot maybe? Will have to play more to make a better assumption

[*]If destroyed, they explode, dealing damage in a small AOE
That's awesome! Will make for some interesting tactics between players and in fights.

I like the radar, it evens the playfield against those players that have no music and 100% sound volume so they hear literally anything in the map.

I don't think you should be able to shoot your teammate's mines. I also don't think they should be 1 shot, or at least not without some buff to balance it. Like maybe make mines invisible from farther than a couple meters

Incentivizing sticking enemies with sticky nade is nice and all but the lag (ping difference) makes it almost unusable

definitely is radar, disable it & no fps drop

as said dont know abt giving player basically free esp, feels :?

assuming it will probably stay regardless

would like limited range or have radar only work for things in your FOV
radar is unilateral, should have ^ and V represent players above/below you
gunz replay has cool minimap view; wonder if that could be implement to radar somehow


edit bugs

explosives (nade/molotov/smoke etc) dont damage mines
pings arent toggleable
DPS elements poison/fire dont properly work on x2 Large Sword

Radar already considers your FOV and your teammates FOV for dynamic tracking of the enemy. If the enemy shoots without being in sight, the position is shown as a static position (of the shot) on the radar. If an enemy is in sight, but doesn't shoot, the position is not shown, allowing enemies to sneak up / get kills with melees / special items. Changes can be made if more people agree.

As stated in the first post, mines can be SHOT to destroy them, nothing else destroys them. Not a bug.

I don't know what you mean with pings not being toggleable.

Thanks for update boss Kappa

But they aren't 1 shot, they have 60 hp; a shotgun shot can destroy at most 2 mines if all pellets hit (9 dmg+ shotgun).

why i get kicked for afk if i just walk and put mines?? i need to jump or something? you change it?

<3.

Nice update

Since this is the place for feedback....

Can we get an option to remove pings? People are abusing them and writing inappropriate messages

Smokes are a bit over-tuned and will need readjustment. They're kind of taking the place of molotovs ATM with how much damage/area of control they give. And they also extinguish molotovs so it's a huge counter.

Love the sticky latching mechanic btw

Also, in regards to what Sunrui was saying - blowing up a mine can trigger other nearby/stacked mines. But other explosives don't trigger mines. Not sure if we want to change that or not. Maybe time will tell. Seems alright for now.

You can disable the ping system in options or /ignore a player which will also hide their pings. You can also report those players abusing it to us so we can take actions and improve the chat filtering (the ping filter follows chat filter rules).

Sounds like we need to reduce the amount of smokes a person can carry.

Is there a way to make it so that you can ping to your team upon dying? Not the entire time you're dead... but that moment you get the camera view until you go into spectating. That window of time would be nice to be able to ping enemy/backstab/etc rather than having to type it to the team.

This guy is still going around in DM's mine spamming. I like the new idea with shooting mines...but when there's 30+ mines, it becomes a "do i focus on the mines or the enemies"... is there a way we could implement a per player cap to mines? Where once the player deploys 6 mines, the next mine they place will cause their first mine (or whichever mine is still active) to despawn so the new one can be placed. Or have it so mines despawn when a player dies? Deathmatches are still as much of a headache to play in when you have people running around spamming mines.

I guess it's too early on in the update to request these things, so maybe we'll see how the updated destroyable mines are accepted within the community.

I don't see much of an increase in smoke nade usage since the update. Aside from maybe 4 or 5 people using them when they didn't beforehand. I think the smoke nades seem to be balanced the way they are now. If you didn't notice, the smoke nades don't pop as fast as they used to now. THat or the timer to pop doesn't activate until the nade comes in contact with something. Because before hand I could toss a nade into the air and it would start to fire before it even touched the ground. Now I throw one and it barely gets to ignite before touching ground. So I think this new aspect makes the increase in radius a little more sense in that players have even MORE TIME to react to the nade being thrown.

I wouldn't mess with the smoke nades just yet until more feedback from others starts to emerge.

Thanks for update sir

Couple bugs maybe:

-Smoke nades hitting on other sides of walls? I noticed sometimes in Garden I'm getting hit without seeing any smoke. Maybe it's spreading from tunnels to top of map or vice versa? Or maybe it's an issue of it hitting while the smoke is dissipating?

-Fix to prevent seeing walls is pretty cool. I think it made the fencing on the Garden windows double though?

Send me a gunz.dmp

The sticky nades or sometype of explosive is still bugged; where when it detonates on the top level ( in garden) and your directly underneath it in the sewer you take damage. Regarding sticky nades, I feel like if you guys are going that route, then can you alos implement an hp bar on them, same as mines, where enemy players can shoot enemy sticky nades causing them to detonate. I would love the ability to just shoot them out as someone throws them killing them in the process.


For the ping system, there are times when in clan war they just completely don't work. Pressing alt doesn't bring up the wheel, not sure if it was map related or just a random bug that happened. Also when u do the quick ping for enemy does that get broadcasted to everyone or just your team. I wouldn't want the enemy to know im pinging them. is there a way to make the ping commands binded to a keybind. Like pressing alt 5 pings enemy or something. Preferrable over having to deal with the wheel mid-combat/movement.

For the radar system, it's not terrible but i dont think it's entirely needed in Gunz. Gunz is a fast-paced game and doesn't have a huge map to play on like warzone. The soundplay available is a sufficient tool to give players the information they need. Rather than a radar that just feeds you it and much more.

We're looking into the ping wheel bug.

I can assure you that pings are only broadcasted to your team. Pings can also be sent via commands (/p1 to /p9), so you can assign them to your macro keys to quickly send them.
