3D Isometric is what we need actually

Post image

The current work on ViewPoint is truly fantastic, and this progress makes me genuinely happy.

Ever since I started playing with the isometric module, neither TPS (third-person) nor FPS (first-person) perspectives satisfy me anymore. This is exactly what we need, though it still requires a bit more refinement.

When entering a new chunk, sometimes walls that should be hidden remain visible, or areas that ought to be in view stay obscured—I’ve been bitten by zombies a few times because of this.

Furthermore, in the vanilla version, you can see inside buildings when looking through windows, but that isn't possible in ViewPoint’s isometric mode.

Also, interacting with shelves, cabinets, and crates is quite difficult. Additionally, when using the "place" command, there’s no way to see exactly where an item is being positioned.

Aside from these issues, after playing this way, going back to vanilla Zomboid is simply out of the question for me. The modders have truly taken this game to a much better place than the original developers ever did.

Careful mods love to censor all discussion about this mod and will probably delete this in minutes

"IT'S MADE WITH AI SO IT'S BAD NO MATTER WHAT!!!"

They’ll happily let 100s of week one mod posts take over the entire subreddit for months but the moment the mod is one they disagree with it’s full time censorship

I didn’t realise Week One was AI trash and caused arguments in every post like this does?

Popular ≠ Trash just because you think it does

u/Anna_Of_Arroyo 1d ago

I didn’t mention popularity in any way, shape or form. Feel free to take another crack at that chief.

You guys love to be dense for some reason

Week one was used as an example because it was insanely popular and flooded the subreddit with content from it

u/Anna_Of_Arroyo 1d ago

You do, don’t you? What does Week one have to do with AI beyond the fact that Week one doesn’t use it and thus doesn’t go against the subs rules?

You should think hard before you call others dense lol.

Developers said ai mods are allowed. Don’t know why the subreddit decided to be the authority above the developers wishes.

What does using ai tools have to do with anything lmao? The mod functions and it’s great. It’s also by far the most popular Zomboid mod there is right now

It’s only this subreddit that’s being cry baby’s about this. Search Zomboid on YouTube and every new video with 200-500k plus views is project viewpoint with nothing but praise. Everyone outside of this very tiny subreddit loves the mod. You guys are just being contrarians for the sake of being victims

u/Anna_Of_Arroyo 1d ago

It is against the rules, that’s what it has to do with it lmao. Nobody is forcing anybody to stay here, if you don’t like the rules regarding AI then you can happily leave!

Even the indie stone have said they won’t ban or remove ai generated mods from the workshop or discussion and that ai isn’t going anywhere.

The only people against this are the subreddit mods lmao.

It seems more like a small minority have taken over the subreddit against even what the developers want, to enforce their anti ai propaganda really. I really won’t leave until I’m banned and I hope even more people keep posting the viewpoint mod until the censorship ends

u/Anna_Of_Arroyo 1d ago

This isn’t their sub. Again, if you dislike the rules, just leave. If I went over to a pro-AI sub and slated AI, I’d be told to leave if I dislike it. Same applies champ.

u/Pervasivepeach 1d ago

Nah I won’t, thanks though, I’ll go upvote and comment on the next viewpoint post which should be up any seccond now!

"it gets views on youtube" doesnt have anything to do with the quality of the mod

0

u/Pervasivepeach 10h ago

Okay. It’s also the most subscribed to mod in the past 30 days on the steam workshop by a huge margin and has gained over 500,000 unique subscribers despite only releasing a month ago

The third most popular and subscribed to mod in the past 30 days is project viewpoints driving addon.

You guys can complain all you want. But the vast majority of zomboid players that utilize mods are playing with viewpoint or at the least downloaded it to try it out. It’s really only this sub that’s the contrarians here

u/lazyspongie Axe wielding maniac 3h ago

i mean that also has nothing to do with the quality of the mod either it just means its popular

u/Anna_Of_Arroyo 3h ago

I wouldn’t bother with them, It’s all a moot point anyway, coming to a subreddit just to whine about the general consensus and then cry when you’re told to just leave if they don’t like it is ridiculous, and that’s all this person is doing.
