Update Speculation thread

They mentioned in the list of bugs being fixed that the light flares are doing odd things. I'd assume they improved it. Also the flares get smaller when the FOV gets smaller.

 

Gavril C H O N K-series confirmed

 

I think the reason for the headlight thing is that they have the FOV set way lower, which could affect that. Or maybe they just used the magic dev headlights

 

Hang on a minute is this thing a 7 seater or is it just the angle. I also wonder when you take the door panel of will it be texture

 

indeed it is!
I wonder if it will be a fullsize SUV with the LWB.
Also don't forget: "And of course theres plenty more thats not yet been revealed... "
I'm pretty sure the update is this month

 

Yeah looking again I’m thinking it’s seven seats as well. I wonder what else has to be revealed? Maybe an extended van... you think we might get some side doors and windows for the h-series with this update?

 

I have a question. Is this XL Roamer already in the game, or is going to be in the game when the next update rolls around?

Exactly, I'm pretty sure the update will come this month. Maybe I'm wrong though.

 

If there's a god out there I'm praying to it that the XL roamer has all the offroad goodies and more that the regular roamer has.

 

Big boi Roamer and little Charro are lookin' sweet!

The XL Roamer isn't in-game as a vanilla vehicle yet, but there is this old Roamer mod by Synsol that's basically a stock Roamer given a special rear-end treatment.

 

Interesting, looks like the XL Roamer has barn doors in the rear. I wonder if that's the only option, or if we can pick between those and a typical hatch.

 

So, if you look at the rear door on the LXT, its a completely different design to the standard roamer's rear door.. I wonder if that's a roamer-wide change, or just for the lengthened version?

 

My improved and more accurate list.

Officially Confirmed:

• Cherrier Vivace

Very Likely:

• D/H/Roamer Remake Part 2
• AWD improvements for some cars, but not all as stated by the developers.
  
• Rollers
• Improved vehicle physics as always.
  
• Police lighting illuminating surroundings.
• Better Day/Night graphics/lighting.
• General fixes to the WIP lighting system.
  
• Some coastal map remaster, assumed to be Small Island, USA. Small Island's remake has been WIP since 2018, further supporting this theory. Although it is currently listed as a map set in Texas, the setting could potentially change.
  
• Bugfixes as always.
• Additional minor content as always.

Possible:

• Port and Industrial Site, Remastered to go along with Small Island. They have been WIP since 2018, and could be considered "sister maps" to Small Island, as they were developed around the same time. Although they are currently listed as maps set in Texas, their settings could potentially change. They may be changed drastically to make each more distinct from the other, as they are currently very similar because at one point they were both the same map.
• Jungle Rock Island, Remastered as a potential "Major Remaster" like ECA and Utah were for 0.17 and 0.18 respectively. It is not shown in new promotional materials on the steam page, hinting that a remaster may be a work in progress. Although it is currently listed as a map set in Hawaii, the setting is very likely to change due to it not resembling Hawaii whatsoever. Southern Japan, Vietnam, and Taiwan are some potential settings, although the former is more likely in my opinion due to the existing JDM vehicles in the game.
  
• Police pursuit AI improvements, which were mentioned but not confirmed. Also, more police cars may be added to go alongside these improvements.
  
• Working streetlamps and night lighting, which were partially implemented in the Utah remaster, and could be a part of the improvements to the day and night cycle.
  
• Additional vehicle parts and such for misc vehicles, as Nadeox1 is now a content creator, and he seems to specialize in part making.
• Steering wheel centering, as teased by Diamondback, but he stated that it may not be added to the game if it is too buggy.
  
• Some progress towards career mode: There is unused LUA for a car dealership that seems to have shown up recently in the game files, and the Utah remaster has unused "parking space" items right near the car dealership, which could indicate that cars can be bought from there.

Improbable:

• Soliad Wendover - No word on it, likely won't be released in the same update as the Vivace.
• New UI - Although it was teased ages ago, and even with the new loading screens being implemented in 0.18, the UI Frontend Developer position is still unfilled after over a year.

On the topic of when the update will release, I'll be surprised if it releases before April, as most Spring updates are between early April and early May.

 

beeg beeeeeg roamer

 

for this kind of suv, we need some sort of 90's style boaty air suspension

 

I have to say, I like the Roamer XL.

And, I want to make sure I'm correct, is the Charro supposed to be like the Bronco?

 

Hello? Is THe Charro Pickup Truck Body Bed Style Released Yet?

 

The main Charro body was released in the first part of the D/H/Roamer revamp in 0.18 (it can be selected via going into Frame -> Short Frame on the D-Series), but the topper/camper shell and interior have not been added to the current Charro body.

 

The Charro seems to have a certain Bronco/Blazer influence involved - though I can't say for certain if either one ever had interior panelling on the tailgate.

I'm most interested in the apparent barn doors on the Roamer XL and the fact that the Charro's rear glass appears to be opening with the 'O' button. I wonder if the latter will carry over to the existing truck bed cap.

And for anyone who was curious, the Charro takes its name from a traditional Mexican style of horseman, roughly equivalent to the cowboy.

 

The news about this upcoming update just keeps getting better and better =D
